Wednesday, June 23rd..

After 2 steps forward and one backward...I really think I can conquer this and get my weight off. Nothing compares to have you feel after a good day of eating and working out. Laying in bed feeling better as I get my rest on after a long day. Your body really feels like it is operating at optimum potential when you feed and treat your body right.

I love the way this feels!!!

June 22nd!!! Day ???

I found an awesome site...Sparkpeople.com

I knew about it before but never took advantage of the Nutrition and Fitness sections on this site. It is totally free to register and you can plan out your meals or use their suggested meals to organize your weight loss goal. It is very cool because after you plan your meals out you can analyze your foods for the day.

This Nutrtion plan tells you if you are in your range of calories, protein, carbs and fat for the day. I really like it. It will be the tool to get me to my weight loss goal of the Final 10 off. I actually think I like it better than the Weight Watchers plan..

Off to the store...

Day 9 Oh my Aching muscles

Doubled up on the workout yesterday..Body Combat- kickboxing my way into fitness and then last night with Belly Dancing. I literally fell into bed last night after a hot shower and every muscle ached from head to toe. Eating well today and probably going to take a day off of working out. I ran on Saturday and did Body Pump on Monday so it took its toll on me as of last night.

Of course taking a day off today could mean another double workout tomorrow...Listen to your Body..that is my motto for today.

Thursday, June 10th..Is it all Worth it? Hell Yeah!

So you say is it all worth taking the time to eat right, and exercise so that you can lose weight. I say Hell Yeah...it is. Proof to all the time and energy you spend to lose the weight...Go Shopping and Buy clothes.

Today, I went out and bought a Size 6 Lucky Brand jeans and a Size 5 American Eagle jeans. Bought some nice sleeveless shirts in Medium ...thats right not Large and not a size 8 or 9 any longer. I am in a great size...it looks good and I feel great.

And that my Friend is all Worth the while. So before you put that next bit of food in your mouth..Think about it. My motto...Nothing tastes as Good as being Thin Feels...Oh yeah!!!

Day 3 Spin out of control

Today I took a Spin class- 45 minutes and then walked home. Ate good, went over 7 points today but have logged in 34 points of activity this week. Stuck to the SBD until this evening while logging my points on WW. Taking 2 diets intwined with a couple of Fitness routines...DDAC, RRF, Transformation Belly Dancing. I will conquer this, I will be the Best I can BE!!!

Fitness is good, Fitness feels Right, Fitness is what I Live For, Fitness is a Huge part of my Life.. This is My Focus...This is ME!!

Tuesday, Day 2 of My Final 10

June 8th- I started my journey yesterday still in Recuperation mode from my big weekend doing the RTO. I decided to take an additional day off from working out as my legs are still feeling it. Ate well until we decided to go to a buffet for dinner. Buffets are definitely not good for eating on plan. I overdid it last night by eating too many points...35 as my proposed 19 that I should eat daily. Never the less I still have points left in my weekly and fitness plan so still within the budget for the week.

Today, I decided to pull out my South Beach Diet book and follow along with this plan while logging my points. The first 2 weeks cuts out certain carbs such as breads, rice and potatoes. You eat carbs like certain veggies and totally omit fruits. I am going to give this a whirl. I had started SBD before and found it hard to stick to the first couple of weeks but I would really like to jump start my Final 10 weight loss. It is Mind over Matter....Nothing tastes as good as being Thin Feels...Your Attitude determines your Altitude!!! I want to win this Final 10 and I need to pull out all stops and do it.

Today I am going to Body Combat, and tonight I am going to Belly dancing. Challenges for the day are a barbecue at the park. Got to skip the roll on the burger and eat veggies on the side. No chips, No dessert for me. That is the plan when it comes to SBD...Off to log in my points now.

Monday, June 7th Day 1 of my Final 10

I have made leaps in bounds in my Fitness thru my last blog, 150 days to Fitness. I accomplished a 20lb weight loss, ran a 1/2 marathon and completed the Reno Tahoe Odyssey run. A relay run of 178 miles with 12 team members over a 24 hour period.

I am very proud of my accomplishments but still have a goal that I have not entirely reached. I still have 10 lbs to go and would like to accomplish this over the next 10 weeks. I am shooting to lose at least 1 lb a week, if more than I will reach my goal faster. I will continue to follow the Weight Watchers plan, at least for the next 6 weeks. I may do some changes to shake things up but I have found when you follow the plan and keep within your points ,,,you will lose weight. The great thing about the Weight Watchers plan is you can eat what you want..you just need to log in the points and know that when you are done eating for the day you can't eat anymore. Of course there are extra points you can use from the weekly points and exercise points to have more for the day. I have found they are really easy to fall back on and I would like to try to not use them as much so I can get this final 10 lbs off.

I will continue my exercise which is classes at Double Diamond Athletic Club, pacing with Reno Running and Fitness and my newest class is Belly Dancing. An awesome core workout that is fun to do since I have some friends doing it as well.

Onward...I will conquer this 10 lbs...Mind over Matter...It Works!!!
