Week 8 Weigh-in

Yikers! Several good-bye parties this week and I made healthy choices in the beginning but I will admit by the third meal out, I caved. My weight gain doesn't entirely reflect an intake of an extra 10,500 calories this week. I ate more than usual but I didn't go buck wild. Part of the issue was the increased sodium and decreased water intake. I expect that I'll be back to 160 this coming week. Yep, that's a bold prediction!

Packing. Moving. New job Monday. Gotta make a plan then work that plan.

The GOAL and PROGRESS

Height: 5'1-1/2"

Starting Weight: 168 (11/2010 - weight before beginning my high raw diet journey; lost 6lbs then regained 2+lbs over the holidays)
Goal Weight: A STRONG 110

W1: 164.6 (01/01/11)
W2: 163.4 (01/08/11) -1.2
W3: 164.0 (01/15/11) +0.6
W4: 160.0 (01/21/11) -4 WAAAAHOOOOOO!!
W5:  battery died (01/29/11)
W6: 162.0 (02/05/11) +2
W7: 160.4 (02/12/11) -1.6
W8: 163.2 (02/19/11) +3.2

Week 7 Weigh-In + Brief Update

We are in the middle of moving from Arizona back to Southern Cali (yay!) so my updates will be a little sparse until we're all settled. I'll give more deets in another post but I'm excited to be starting a new position! There's just a lot to do in the next couple of weeks. Packing counts as a workout, right?

The GOAL and PROGRESS

Height: 5'1-1/2"

Starting Weight: 168 (11/2010 - weight before beginning my high raw diet journey; lost 6lbs then regained 2+lbs over the holidays)
Goal Weight: A STRONG 110

W1: 164.6 (01/01/11)
W2: 163.4 (01/08/11) -1.2
W3: 164.0 (01/15/11) +0.6
W4: 160.0 (01/21/11) -4 WAAAAHOOOOOO!!
W5:  battery died (01/29/11)
W6: 162.0 (02/05/11) +2
W7: 160.4 (02/12/11) -1.6

My goal of being in bed by 9p is not going well and will likely not until the move is complete. I am going to continue to focus on increasing water intake and of course, keeping up with the workouts. The part I love about Turbo Fire are the quick (yet, super-intense) workouts.

Hope you're off and running towards a great week. Happy Valentine's Day! Don't forget to look in the mirror and appreciate how beautiful you are!

Week 6 Weigh-In

Okay, weekly weigh-ins are humbling but also motivating so I gotta keep plugging away. The results won't always be positive but I do need a place to remain accountable. My blog is that place.


Here we go!

My focus this week is water and sleep. My eating has certainly not been the greatest but even with spot-on intake, I need exercise. Truth be told, I'm not into exercise when I'm tired. I'm about pressing the snooze button to get it all in. The benefits of water are well-known and I've just got to increase, increase!


Bed calls! Have a good night!
