Welcome to My Personal Fitness Challenge Day 68 and Thoughts on What more can I do... wor


Welcome to My Personal Fitness Challenge Day 68

I wore my new smaller jeans today, victory!  Not my last size change either.  Hoping these jeans are going to be falling off me in a few weeks :-).  The little metal box was not as generous as I had hoped this morning.  No matter it is tomorrow's results that count.  We shall see what tomorrow holds.  I am eating on plan so I keep thinking what else can I do.  The only thing is to build in more exercise.  How much is enough?  I am happy with 2 lbs a week but not less.  

My son got his "N" on Wednesday.  He got called for work today.  He needed to be able to switch locations throughout the day, he needed a vehicle.  Hmmm...  He took my truck at 8 o'clock this morning. It's 9 pm now and he is still out.  Film shifts are 15 hours!  I'm such a Mom.  Can't wait to see him.

Made turkey chili tonight.  It has become my treat meal.  My younger son loves it too.  Not too much else to chat about.  Looking forward to my TF+ Trio workout with Katherine, Tristan and Wes tomorrow.  Saturday is my favorite workout day.  Stay tuned...

Welcome to My Personal Fitness Challenge Day 67 and Fun at Team Fitness


Welcome to My Personal Fitness Challenge Day 67

Today was a good day.  Woke up and checked in with my little metal box down a pound from Saturday's check in.  I am hoping for a little more before the next check in and time will tell.  I went to bed last night with my assignment half done.  I looked at my calendar for today and it seemed like I would have some time to put the finishing touches on it before the end of the day.  Did not happen.  My calendar filled with unplanned work which is my priority.  Good day actually, feel like I got a lot done.  

When 4:30 rolled around I got changed into my workout gear and started to head out the door when Brad popped in.  He greeted me with "Hi There Skinny" Well what can I say he had my attention.  We chatted for a few minutes about losing weight.  Brad is on a journey of his own, he is now down 85 lbs.  He is doing a very different diet, one where he is not allowed to exercise.  I don't get it, I thought healthy weight loss involved lots of exercise.  I have to admit I am really enjoying the feeling I get from working my muscles, I love that I can feel my abs and how my clothes now hang on me.  I am excited about the future.

Workout at Team Fitness was great tonight.  I am not sure it was the workout itself though, really wasn't that challenging. I did enjoy the work but the camaraderie that has developed in our group is awesome.  We cheered each other on and poked fun at each other.  Both Lauren and I noticed a change in Tristan, the weight loss is starting to show!  We had a new member join us tonight too.  I suspect our workout was a little easier to accommodate our new addition.  I talked to her at the end and told her to keep coming, that it was worth it.  She said she was so excited to be there.  I hope she commits, the journey is so worth it.

I went back to work after my workout and completed my assignment.  When I got home hubby was sharing his plans to ride back East on his motorcycle.  He wants me to come with him.  Hmmm 5000k on a motorbike.  Could be the adventure of a life time. Of course I said I thought he just wanted me on the back of his bike because by July I would be smoking hot and he would be the envy of all his friends.  He smiled....
