Two-week progress!

we've got had a few extraordinary weather here for a few days! It almost appears like fall. On Monday, I took the kids to their baseball practice, and that i simply wore denims and a heavy sweater--and i was nevertheless bloodless! (i am no longer complaining--i really like this weather). it's been satisfactory for being lively outdoor!

Monday morning, the men and that i went for a motorcycle trip across the neighborhoods. in case you do the perimeter of all 4 neighborhoods on the peninsula, it's precisely 5 miles. I run that course often; and now that the children are becoming a bit older, I do not worry so much approximately them riding on the streets (we don't have sidewalks), so we have been expanding wherein we can trip motorcycles.

the day gone by, I took Joey for 2 walks. in the morning, we just went around the neighborhood, to practice his leash walking; after which inside the afternoon, we walked to the get entry to street where he may want to run off-leash. it's humorous how you could truely tell what kind of "temper" a dog is in. Joey's a happy dog, however taking him to the access street is whilst you can tell he's in order that glad he should burst. I don't honestly realize how else to describe it!

besides, these days is the start of week three of calorie counting. it has been going SO well. basically, counting energy is the identical component as counting Weight Watchers PointsPlus; however for some reason, the switch has been definitely fresh for me. After counting PP for goodbye, I just needed a trade.

I nearly forgot about doing a Wednesday Weigh-in, because I had gotten out of the addiction of doing them for the closing 12 months or two. however, after I got on the dimensions, i was very please to look that i would lost two kilos this week!


My frame fats was down zero.9% from closing week, and my waist become even down by means of half an inch.

Seeing 153 on the size turned into a huge milestone, because it method i'm lower back at one hundred pounds misplaced. i'm now not certain precisely how long it is been since i used to be at the 100 kilos misplaced mark. I bear in mind after I saw the one hundred fifty's instead of the 140's, and that i thought, "Oh crap, i'd better reel it in. a couple of days of being again on track, and i'll be back within the a hundred and forty's." Then, after bouncing among 149 and 151 for some time, the one hundred fifty's do not appear as scary. And, finally, seeing the a hundred and fifty's became the new norm. I suppose that tends to manifest with each "decade" of weight reduction (going from the one hundred twenty's to the a hundred thirty's, and the 130's to the a hundred and forty's, etc.).

This week, my calorie consumption changed into just like remaining week--just a little less on common, due to the fact I did not burn as many energy as closing week. for the reason that i am now not walking, my calorie burn is decrease, however i've been looking to do some thing lively every day. i have been deep water going for walks (simply as soon as), some quick bike rides (5 miles or less), and plenty of strolling (30+ minutes in step with day, plus 90+ minutes on Sunday).

Going into this next week, i'm going to hold doing what i'm doing, and hope I keep seeing outcomes. I actually need to get in an extended motorcycle ride (20+ miles) due to the fact the excursion de Troit is in a bit over 3 weeks! that's a 30-mile ride, so I want to get in a pair more rides of 20-30 miles. i'm additionally going to make it a aim to visit the rec middle and use the StairMaster device as soon as this week--my physical therapist encouraged that I do it, as it's low-impact however a first-rate cardio workout.

right here's to some other excellent week! ;)
