C4 – Week 8, Day 56 of 84

Weight 124.5

I’ve been better disciplined this week and ended up down a pound for the week.  Works for me.

This week is going to be crazy…with the wedding, Thanksgiving and work. I’m not sure how I’ll get all my workouts in, but we’ll see how it goes.  I’ll have to concentrate on eating healthy to compensate.

On to week 9 (only 4 weeks left in this challenge)…

In the meantime… if any of you (all 4 of you) have any health/fitness questions… ask away…

C4 – Week 7, Day 49 of 84

Weight 125.5

Ok people, my head has NOT been in the game for the last 3 weeks or so.  I need to regroup and get back to business.  I’ve had lots going on…but so does everyone else.  Excuses do nothing but stall progress and impede success.  I need to quit hitting the candy corn… just saying.  I also need to get back to a more regular workout schedule.  Jodi’s new schedule has caused us to rework things and it just hasn’t been working out very well.  This week, I plan to do more cardio than I have been doing.  I love to lift, so I usually don’t have to talk myself into it, but cardio is NOT my favorite, so I find it easy to let it slide. My eating overall isn’t bad, but I have been eating some sweets that I normally wouldn’t eat.

So, this week, I need to get my head back in the game.  Fit in my cardio and weight workouts and focus on my health…and fitness.

C4 – Week 6, Day 42 of 84

Weight 124.0

I’m somewhat surprised that I’ve stayed within a half pound of last week since my eating has been somewhat off.  Some great days and some not so great days.  My workouts are going great…even though I’ve had to do many/most of them without Jodi.  Working on getting my head a little more in the game, but I am so distracted these days.  I’m thankful for journaling… helps to keep me on task.

C4 – Week 5, Day 35 of 84

Weight 123.5

I was down a pound and a half again this week.  I’m a bit off focus these days… I think it’s having so much going on personally, but I’m working out hard.

It’s high hormone time again… so we’ll see how the next couple weeks go.

On to week 6…

C4 – Week 4, Day 28 of 84

Weight 125.0

One word…”relaxed”.  That’s what I did this week and the end result is a gain of one pound.  Just being honest and letting y’all know that not tracking like you should and eating extra handfuls of yummy candy corn can easily lead to weight gain.  So, I’ll try this week (again) to be more disciplined in my eating.  We also haven’t been working out as much as usual since we’ve had to change our workout schedule.  I’ll try harder to get all my workouts in.  It’s just not like me to miss very much time at the gym. 

Maybe it was just a good time to take a little break.

C4 – Week 3, Day 21 of 84

Weight 124.0

I knew it would be the case.  I was up on the scale 1.5 pounds.  It is Cycle Day 3, so I’m not surprised at all.  I will say that I have been busy, busy lately so I haven’t tracked my food as strictly as usual, but I did eat very typical for the week.

I’ll be back to tracking – or at least trying real hard – this week.

On to week 4…

C4 – Week 2, Day 14 of 84

Weight 122.5

Don’t ask me how, but I was down 2.5 pounds this week.  I’m on cycle day 26, so I look for this week to be more on the upswing this week with the high hormones.

On to week 3…
