Sunday Check in week 4

Hey guys. I haven't gotten the results back from my doctor yet so I don't know anything about my thyroid. I did however start weight watchers last sunday and this past week I lost 4lbs with only 3 hour work outs. It felt good to get on the scale at my meeting this week. Hopefully next week I will get my 5lb sticker to put in my book. I am on vacation until thursday so I am going to hit the gym more than usual and try and get a bunch or healthy meals cooked and frozen. That is all for now!!
Hope everyone has an awesome week!!

Sunday check in

Hey guys, this week has been crazy. I went to the doctor and I am getting blood work done on tuesday. I started weight watchers today. I am hoping it works even though I feel they are giving me more points then I should be having. I will listen to them and do what they say. I have slacked on working out this week. I will get back into my normal routine tomorrow.

Wednesday Check in July 15th

This week has been kicking my bum. I have an appointment with my dr tomorrow to get my thyroid checked out. I have 28 of the 32 most common symptoms so I am going to at least let them have a look at me. I have been to the gym everyday but today, I just didn't feel up to it today. I am super sore from yesterdays work out. However I did go swimming with Lilian. I pushed her in her raft as I did laps. She loved it. I only could do that for about 15 minutes before she wanted out so then we just played around. I will keep everyone updated on my drs appt. until then I hope you all are well

End of week 3 Sunday update

I can't find the camera so I will edit this later today to include my weekly pictures. I didn't lose any weight this week, but it is ok because 10lbs in 4 weeks a lot and 2 lbs more than I should have lost. My measurements have changed this week though, My waist has gone down 2 inches, my hips haven't changed but my bust went up 2 inches since I last measured, which was in april. So things are changing and that is a good thing. I am trying really hard not to get discouraged. I began my strength training this week. Before my 6 weekly workouts were between 30 minutes and 45 minutes consisting all of cardio, this past week I upped it to 45min to 1 hour and 15 minutes depending on the day. It consists of 45 minutes of heart pumping cardio (When I began riding the bike I was averaging 12 miles and hour I am now up to 14.4 miles an hour) and 15-30 minutes of strength training, because muscle burns fat all the time where as exercise only burns fat during and after for a short time. I have gone 2 weeks without any soda, and I am averaging about 80 oz of water a day, about half of that is consumed with ocean spray sugar free cranberry juice, (5 calories a serving)

Beginning weight: 235
Last week 225
This week 225
BMI no change.

Wow it has been a busy couple of days. Monday I went to the gym for 45 minutes. Tuesday I went to the gym TWICE!!!!! In the morning for 45 minutes and at night for 30 minutes. I couldn't sleep at all last night either, I have decided that I cannot work out past 9:00 at night otherwise I wont be able to sleep. Today I went to the gym and rode for 35 minutes, it was all I could fit in today during the little time Kyle and I were home together. I have officially lost 10 lbs, 3 inches off of my hips and 1 inch off of my waist!!!
Everything is going great!!

July 5 End of week 2 update

Even though I hurt my foot thursday night, I spent the past two days resting and icing. I my foot felt okay today so I went to the gym and road the bike. NO PAIN!!! I did pikes peak again for 30 minutes instead of 20. 6.9 miles. AWESOME BIKE RIDE!! I didn't eat so healthy on the 4th but I didn't completely indulge. I did have eegees, 5" turkey grinder and some watermelon eegee. I also had a soda. I ended the day with 1420 calories. Only 200 above my daily limit so not too bad. Today I am only at 385 calories. I had a good breakfast and I am still not hungry, I will have a snack here shortly and then dinner at 5.

Weekly weigh in:
Beginning: 235
Last week: 228
Today:225
BMI: Beginning: 39.1
Last week:37.9
This week:37.4

I lost 3 pounds this week and I have no clue how I did it. I skipped the gym 4 days!! I did however do Jillian Michaels she is gives you a good work out. She doesn't let you take breaks at all and keeps you moving the entire 20 minutes.
