So it's Sunday evening right now and I'm so tired all I really want to do is get to bed, but I HAD to write to catch you up (all three people that read this haha;) on the weekend.
Saturday morning I woke up really nervous about going to Lifetime to get registered. Even worse, Jeff had just gotten home from work that morning and was too tired to go with me, which is what I was hoping for (moral support and all that). So I got Ian packed up, bucked up and headed over. I was pretty sure that I would be the biggest person there...Lifetime is full of really fit people and I don't see a lot of people my size when I'm there working out. After dropping Ian off at the child care I headed over to the registration desk. I was pretty early, and as I waited more and more people showed up. To my surprise there were TONS of people, and not all were in as great shape as I had expected. I will admit I am probably one of the heaviest women in the competition, but at least I didn't feel as intimated as I thought I would. The only thing that had me worried was that there were so MANY people! I heard one of the trainers say something about the number of entries being around 200! So, I don't know how good my odds are of winning, but I'm going to try!! We'll see how it goes...me losing weight is ultimately the goal, winning would just be a nice bonus.
So I weighed myself the first day of staying home with Ian and I was at an all-time high. Brace yourself people....June 16th I was at 257.8. Last Wednesday, August 4th I was at 254.6. I weighed in Saturday at the gym at 255 (that's including my clothes, shoes, etc.- at home that weight was 252.8). So going on I will have 2 loss totals; total personal weight loss and challenge weight loss. I am so excited to see what I can do with this. I have been in such a great mindset lately, I really feel ready to kick some butt. I've been eating extremely healthy, limiting carbs, eating lots of protein and fruits and veggies. I've been drinking tons of water and I've been exercising in some manner everyday, especially weekdays. Yesterday I worked on stomach work and lifted weights and today I took Ian on a long walk. These were relatively low impact, I'm planning on stepping it up through the week like I did at the gym last week. I know in these next 90 days I can make a huge impact for myself. That's almost part of the excitement for me...to see exactly how MUCH I can accomplish! Could I lose 5%...10% maybe even 12%?? Time will tell!! It's all up to me!
