(Healthy You Challenge Check In) This week was a very good one for me. I’ve been staying at a friend’s house the last 4 days and since I’ve been here I’ve been doing great with food. I’ve had probably one fast food meal per day, which isn’t great, but I’m still staying under calories and not eating at night. The fast food isn’t the best thing, but I will let it slide.
I went to buy some fresh, whole food at the grocery store the other day for the rest of my time here. I will try my best to not eat out today. I’ve got a lot of fresh fruit and ingredients for a salad that I need to eat soon. Hopefully the fresh food will give my body a needed break from all the extra fat and sodium I’m getting with fast food. (Oh, but I like Chicken Quesadillas from Taco Bell!)
Exercise has been at a minimum level this week. I’m stuck here without a car, so I can’t get to a gym like I normally do. I’ve done some basic stuff like situps, pushups, stairs, and such, but I haven’t had a hardcore workout like I love. Today I will at least get a good walk in.
Apparently this Biggest Loser Challenge doesn’t end this week like I thought. It ends next week on July 20. I must have missed that memo. Anyway, I did all the calculations so I think my mom will win. Go Mom! I should come in second or third.
Well now, let’s get on with the numbers game.
Scale says….
Weight: 237.4
Previous Weight: 239.4
Weight Loss This Week: -2.0
Weight Loss Total: -14.4
This week was a good week! I’m glad the scale reflects that and I am so close to the -15.0 mark! I will be good during my road trip and friend’s wedding this weekend and then next week will be the 15 mark! Woot!

I don’t have a gym membership. Those bodyweight exercises you did are great, just throw in some varied squats/lunges and burpees, and you’ll be sweating for sure!

I just like the gym because I like to be around other people. I don’t like to workout with other people unless it is a class, but I just like to be around people. Make sense? It’s not that I can’t workout at home… its just that I prefer to be at a gym around people with positive and motivating energy!
WAHOO!!! Congrats on another loss!

Congrats to you & your mom! Keep up that good work & plenty you can still do without the gym. Check out the magazine sites online for a few at home exercise plans to help you out.
Flirtin’ with Fifteen. I love it! :) I also love that you’re making steady progress in changing as much as you can to healthier eating. Perfection isn’t necessary at all, just progress. You’re on the right path now!
Good job! I agree I cant really work out at home I like being at the gym even tho I work out alone there (unless I’m in classes). Have fun at your friends wedding and on your roadtrip! :)

Hey there! thank for dropping by my blog. I’ve been meaning to swing on by and check out your slice of cyberspace – so here I am! :)
congrats on the 15! And for eating well whilst away from home. It’s something I am trying to master but always end up with a takeaway somewhere in there (my sinful delight is thai food. mmmmmm)
I like going to the gym too – especially in winter because I am sheilded from the elements somewhat and can’t wuss out because it’s too cold. LOL

great loss! I am hoping to be at 238 at my next weight in, if I am then I am only 100 lbs from my ‘healthy bmi”. I know, bmi is bs, but it’s something to aim for. Great blog. Keep up the good work!
cmoursler’s last blog post..oy…enough with the cake.
@cmoursler
You can totally be at 238 next weigh in! … I agree with you, bmi isn’t the best indicator, but it does give us a good thing to aim for when we are so far out in left field regarding weight.
@Mary – Oh no! I’m not downing the gym. My 4 greedy kids are just vacuums for my expendable cash. Miserable Translation? “I can’t afford it”. Well, I can really, but I’d rather complain, save cash, and do the home burpees.
