Weigh-in and Christmas Challenge Update

No movement on the scale this week. I did a little better with my food and got in some exercise so I am a bit disappointed I saw no movement. It is that time of month so that could have something to do with it. All I can do is keep trying this week.

I have been doing an exercise challenge with one of my friends IRL and this week we are bumping up the challenge from 90 minutes of exercise/week to 120 minutes. That is a challenge for me because we have been on haitus with the water aerobics while the pool is being maintained. Walking is my main other form of exercise with the occasional workout DVD in between. Both of those are really hard on my back at this weight. Next Monday I start back with the water aerobics and I am really looking forward to getting in some enjoyable exercise again. I will be doing WA 5 times per week. I decided to up it from just 2 times per week since I decided to cut back on my classes for the fall and put more focus on my health. I am only doing one and it is online so my evenings are more flexible now....assuming I can get out of work on time!

NOTE to those who only just received my private blog invitations. Sorry for the delay. I was looking at the people who hadn't accepted my invite yet and noticed I had typos in a couple of your email addresses. Hopefully everyone who wanted to be here is here now. :-)

Weigh in and Christmas Challange Update

After totally slacking off the month of August, I am basically back at square one - 325 pounds. Hopefully the goals I set for myself for September will keep me more focused. Plus I have joined Chubby Chick's Christmas Challenge so the plan is for my Christmas gift to myself to be out of the 300's forever. That means I need to lose 26 pounds by Christmas. That's doable if I stay focused.



I have change the ticker at the top of my blog to reflect the Christmas Challenge and to help me to focus on a shorter term goal rather than the whole 160 pounds which seemed darned near impossible.

Also, my home computer went belly up last night so I won't have much computer access for blogging until I get it fixed. GRRRRR.....it's brand new too!
