No video this week, but at least I remembered to make a post, right?

To give you a recap… I weighed myself last week and had lost .6 pounds.  Today, I weighted myself again, and I am down another 1.8!  Woo hoo!

I have decided to get back to kicking major A on the treadmill rather than just 15 minutes at a time.  I had changed things up for the last several weeks, but the changes resulted in me not losing weight, so it is time to go back to what I know works for me.  My legs are sore, but that will soon pass and I will be back in running mode.

Stats:

• Initial Weight: 241.4 lbs
• Weight after this week’s weigh-in: 248.8 lbs
• Last 2 week’s +/- :  -2.4 lbs
• Total lost:  GAINED 10.8 lbs

I accidentally skipped last week’s weigh-in.  But, that might have been a good thing because my birthday was right in the middle of last week, and it seems like every night I was going out to dinner, and it was ugly.  That being said, this past week has been a recovery from last week’s eating, so I guess I can’t be THAT disappointed at the results:

Stats:

• Initial Weight: 241.4 lbs
• Weight after this week’s weigh-in: 251.2 lbs
• This week’s +/- :  +.6 lbs
• Total lost:  GAINED 10.8 lbs

Not a big loss, but a loss. That is good considering the disaster that was last week’s weigh-in…

Stats:

• Initial Weight: 241.4 lbs
• Weight after this week’s weigh-in: 250.6 lbs
• This week’s +/- :  -1 lbs
• Total lost:  GAINED 10.2 lbs

The big change this week was that I cut out softdrinks from my diet (minus 2 meals).  It was really tough at first, but I replaced that craving with tea, and it seems to have worked pretty well.  Apparently softdrinks have a lot of sodium (among other chemicals), and that can lead to retaining water.  So I contribute some of this success to that change.

By the way, if you want to try some of the tea I was drinking, head over to Teavana‘s website and look at the Raspberry Riot Lemon Mate.  It is so good!

On to the video…

Stats:

• Initial Weight: 241.4 lbs
• Weight after this week’s weigh-in: 240.6 lbs
• This week’s +/- :  -1.8 lbs
• Total lost: GAINED -0.8 lbs

VICTORY! Well, I mean, I lost a pound, but considering I have been working on toning up and gaining muscle, I think it is a success. Also, for this coming week, I have decided to give up soft drinks altogether. That means I will have to say goodbye to my beloved Diet Coke with Lime. It will be worth it though.

On to the video:

• Initial Weight: 241.4 lbs
• Weight after this week’s weigh-in: 242.4 lbs
• +/- :  -1.0 lbs
• Total lost: GAINED 1.0 lbs
