Getting healthy and loving life!

First, the big news! It's weigh in day and I have good news! I weighed 240! That's offically 20 pounds since October 24th! I've been rocking back and forth in the low 240s for some time now. This is the lowest I've seen since I started 3 1/2 month ago. I'm feeling really good about it!

I have 60 pounds to go. While it would be nice to lose 1 1/2 pounds a week, I don't think that'll happen. Frankly, it doesn't matter when I get there. What I can say for sure, is that I will keep trying. I will keep blogging, I will keep exercising, I will keep making mostly healthy choices, and I will keep using my BodyMedia system.

I had a great workout at the gym. I walked for 10 minutes to warm up, I used free weights to exercise my chest, shoulders and back, I did 75 crunches, I did 25 minutes on the elliptical, and I walked for 5 minutes to warm down. After my workout, I sat in the dry sauna and then the steam room. I love using the free weights. I also love pushing myself in the elliptical. The only thing I love about crunches is being done and saying that I did them! haha

I am off today, but have a full slate. I'm going to the gym early to make sure that I get it done. I have to grocery shop, drop off a tire (we got a flat), and visit my dad (he's home from the hospital).

Today is my mom's birthday and she's coming for dinner tonight! She's 77 today and a stellar example of someone who lives a healthy lifestyle. She excercises, eat right and keep sctive. Happy Birthday, Mom! Way to go!

From yesterday: Calorie consumption = 2,055. Calorie deficit = 869. Chest shoulders, back, 75 crunches, 40 minutes of aerobics.

Have a great day!!
