I was hoping to get a video done today but unfortunately it’s not going to happen.
I know, you are crying your eyes out right now. You miss seeing me. It’s understandable.
Next week there will be a video from Fitbloggin in Baltimore, I hope. I’m missing videos! I like how they SHOW my progress over time just as well as the numbers do. So they will definitely return once I figure out the technical difficulties I’m having.
Now on to the stuff you were wondering about…
WEEKLY WORKOUTS
Wednesday March 10 - 1 mile walk/run; 30 minutes on the stationary bike; 50 minutes on the treadmill walking at 3.2 mph with hill intervals; chest press 45 lb 3 x 10, incline press 45 lb 3 x 10, fly machine 40 lb 3 x 10; situps with 8 lb medicine ball 3 x 20.
Thursday March 11 -30 minutes walking on the treadmill at 3.2 mph 1.0 incline; leg press 145 lb 3 x 10, leg extension 40 lb 3 x 10, leg curl 40 lb 3 x 10, calf raises 145 lbs 3 x 10, shin exercises, inner thigh machine 3 x 10, outer thigh machine 3 x 10 both at 55 lbs. lots of stretching.
Yeah, I only did two workouts this week. That’s a bit sad. I’m pretty sure my weight loss is from last week when I didn’t weigh in. This week in all reality was probably a gain.
WEIGH IN STATS
This is my first weigh in for march! Hurrah!
Current Weight: 210.6 lbs
Previous Weight: 211.8 lbs
Weight loss: -1.2 lbs
Weight loss in March: -1.2 lbs
Starting Weight: 251
Alright. 10 pounds away from 200. It’s getting closer! Ahhh! Eventually I’m going to be under it! This week I’m going to be super busy but I’m going to try to get in a lot of exercise along with healthy eating.
OTHER THINGS
Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive of my plans to move to New Zealand. I’m excited and scared about it all at the same time. It’s going to be a good experience and opportunity, to live in another country. I’ll most likely blog about the move more, but since it’s not happening until August or September I won’t mention it much until then. For now the only goal is to earn/save/scrounge up the money for moving. The worst thing about New Zealand is how expensive it is to get there!
I’m still completely focused on getting to my next main goal of being under 200 pounds. This weekend got me a bit off track with the fast food and the lack of exercise. I’m realizing that I let other people and their habits and way of life sway me. If they don’t exercise and eat out a lot when I’m with them I do it too. I need to be better about making my own decisions and making things work in my favor. I like good food, that’s healthy and tastes good. The stuff I ate with my friends fulfilled none of those points and I didn’t enjoy it very much. So I’m trying to learn how to stand up for my way of eating and living when I’m with other people. It’s a process.
At least my weekend was fun, if not super productive. How was your weekend?

You’re so close! You can do it!
I’m the same way, I tend to eat worse and exercise less when I’m hanging with people who are doing the same. It’s a tough cycle to break though.
Thanks Tara! It’s a touch cycle to break because I don’t ever want to be the one that’s different, that needs to do things differently. I hate making a fuss so I just try not to. But I need to stop that and do what is best for me.
Best of luck with getting under 200 pounds, you’re so close and every pound that you lose from that final 10 will empower you to keep going!
Thanks. I’m close. So close!! I’m excited to finally reach it.
One of my very good friends just moved from Chicago to New Zealand for the next year! I’d love to help you meet a friend, so let me know when you get closer to moving!!

Thanks… I need as many friends as I can get when I move there!! I’d love to meet up with your friend. :)
Hello! My first comment here- I think I’ve been subscribed to your RSS for about a week :] Anyways, I have been stalling around 200 for weeks, and I had lost a small amount to get there. I find you inspirational, and hopefully we will both be able to get under 200 in good time! The one reason I like your blog the most is we are starting relatively near the same weight, shooting for nearly the same goal! To end- good luck, as always, and I’ll be rooting for you!
Thanks for commenting Sarah! : )
We both can do it! 200 is going to be history soon!
I too am SOO ready to be under 200! Congrats on the loss — whether it was from last week or this week…you are that much closer. good job!

Congratulations on burning off another 1.2lbs! *confetti* You’ll be under 200 really soon!
I think those workouts seem pretty substantial, so I wouldn’t be too hard on yourself. :)
.-= Cathy´s last blog ..Short Weight Update No. 1 =-.
Oh I’m not. I think people might get the impression I’m over here beating myself up for not working out more… Not even close. LOL I do what I can when I can and I’m happy with that. :)
You’ll be under 200 in no time flat! I’ve been hovering just above 250 for weeks now, and I can’t wait to get into the 240′s! Hoping my weigh-in next Saturday will be the day.
.-= Chad´s last blog ..Weighing In After My Night on the Town =-.
I know how that goes. I settle around a weight for a while (um, like 211!!!!) and it seems like it takes forever to get past. I hope you hit the 240s soon!
My buddy had a birthday and also let his diet go a little. He high fived about everyone in the bar that night :)
Not a bad weigh in at all! I will be doing a dance with you when you get under 200- it’s going to be sweet! :)
Wowee! Congrats chica! We are neck and neck…my w/in is tomorrow, wish me luck! LOL!
.-= Josie´s last blog ..Workout Pledge =-.
Good luck! I hope you did well! I’ll bounce over to your blog and check on you soon!
Congratulations on your weight loss! You hang in there and it won’t be long before you’re out of the 200s.
I realize it’s hard to resist ordering the really good stuff when you’re out with friends, but you can order healthy from many fast food places, and you’ll be amazed at how good and filling the healthier food choices can be.
Oh, I know I can. But I didn’t the one time I got to choose (Taco Bell) and the other times they just brought me food. I’m aware that most (not all) fast food places have acceptable food.
I DO miss seeing you. But I loved video chatting with you the other day :) The videos are great at showing your progress, and they’ll be fun to look back on :)
Congrats on your loss!!! 10 lbs away from 200! That’s awesome!!!! That also puts you at over 40 lbs lost!!! That’s a milestone, right?! WOOT!!!!
I hope you feel better soon.
My weekend was okay, but we’ve talked about that :)
I love you! <3
Aw. Yeah, I will restart the videos soon! Promise!
For some reason when I copied the weigh in stats weight loss overall wasn’t on there so I kind of forgot about it. Oops.
I love you too. :)
Im so excited for you.
it wasnt NZ but I picked up and moved states after knowing my then boyfriend/now husband for 3 month.
EVERYONE THOUGHT I WAS NUTS.
see you soon!
.-= Miz´s last blog ..Yep. Testing the mobile blogging again… =-.
Hehe. I’m following in your footsteps… just after 6 months and an ocean away…. which means it will be a year by the time I get there. :)
But strangely no one things I’m that crazy? Or they just aren’t telling me?
I’ve had a very busy weekend. FINALLY getting caught up on all of my blog reading….
And I have to say WOW you are so close to getting under that 200# mark. WTG!

I know! 11ish pounds! Ahhh! It’s so close!!
Congrats on the weight loss this week. Workouts or not your making progress. It’s about progress not perfection :)
I’m looking forward tonall the Fitbloggin coverage everyone is gonna have. Wish I could go, kinda got my hands full right now though.
Keep up the great work, you’ll be in NZ and below 200 soon!
.-= Sean (Learn Fitness)´s last blog ..Lessons On Parenting =-.
Yes… my goal has always been progress instead of perfection.
Ah, it would have been cool if you could come to fitbloggin but we will all tweet and blog and let you know what’s happening. :)
Yahoo for your weight loss! Congrats! As for the eating with friends or others, I just do my own thing. I do not let others effect my choices on food. At first it was weird for family/friends & honestly, now, it is just normal & nobody tries to push me to eat things I don’t want to eat. I like to make my own choices on when I will treat & I want that treat to be something I really want, not just because.
The weekend was nice plus productive. Finally nice weather here in southern CA AND I found a dress for the wedding!
.-= Jody – Fit at 52´s last blog ..Write Your Own End Chapter; Giveaway Info =-.
Yeah. With my close friends and family I’m fine with doing that. But these people weren’t very close so it’s a lot harder in that kind of situation. But I’m working on it.
Hey… where in Southern Cali do you live?
I live in south Orange County. It is about 20 minutes south of Disneyland and about 1 hour south of LA airport.. well, depending on traffic & here.. there is traffic ALL THE TIME :-) I think you have read my posts about my trips to UCLA for dental work… I hate the traffic! :-)
.-= Jody – Fit at 52´s last blog ..Write Your Own End Chapter; Giveaway Info =-.
I did read those, I just wasn’t sure exactly where you lived. I think we might be having a day in Disneyland meetup kind of thing if you are interested in meeting Kepa and I. If not that, we are probably gonna be in LA area at least a couple days, so we could possibly work something out. :)
Would love to meet you!!! Keep me posted! :-)

Ive noticed people often have these ‘great’ places to eat and then it is usually not so tasty and pretty bad for you. More usually, im known for being a ‘picky’ eater, because I refuse to go to fast food places if I know they are fast food places, or places where the food is going to give me a stomachache. I tell everyone they can go there I just wont eat. Generally that works so that they bend my way and change locations..like last nite, when 2 of my friends wanted to go to jack in the box ew. Of course, being outspoken like that can sometimes get you a reputation.. :) but oh well. Also, though it helps that I have backup..like when I was in san diego w my best friend, both of us wanted to go find a gym to work out!
My weekend was good! Made a trip to sacramento Friday night, and had a great time out dancing yesterday evening!
