August Challenge Points

So far for August I've had....

water: 99 cups

exercise: 735 minutes (or 12 hours 15 minutes)

Which means I've accrued a grand total of.... 834 points so far!

Weigh Day - Week....

... what week are we on? I don't know, but I'm still at 118.

Photo Update

Here's what I looked like at Dara's wedding a couple weekends ago. I think I was at 119 here, so it's pretty accurate of what I look like now, too.

It's sort of like a rain dance....

I went for a walk this afternoon, but the weather seemed to think I was doing a rain dance. I walked around the Cobblestone subdivision (a six mile walk!) and made it about a half mile from our house before it started raining! The rain is GOOD, but I was drenched by the time I got back. Still, 6 miles in 1.25 hours isn't bad! It used to take me that long to walk 2 miles...

Back on the wagon again!

I'm back on the SparkWagon again! Since Thursday I've been tracking calories, drinking my water, and getting at least 30 min cardio in daily. I am bound and determined to lose 3 lbs by September 1st so that I'm down to 115 by the reunion! 110 would have been nice, but 115 is where I'm aiming right now. That will be a 16 lb loss this summer. So I'm back on the wagon again!

According to Bob...

A while back I asked for exercise videos on freecycle. I got about 15 of them, of varying types. One was a fitness test video from Bob Mann. It's cheesy, 80's, and a bunch of advertising for his other videos (one of which I also got from freecycle), but I took the fitness test. I figure it will at least be a good way for me to track how I'm doing fitness wise. Here are my results, according to Bob...

Aerobic Test: 44 (Very Good)
Sit Up Test: 28 (Average)
Push Up Test: 34 (Very Good)
Body Fat Test: 27% (Average)

Waist measurement - 28 inches.
Hip measurement - 36 inches.
Wrist measurement - 5.5 inches. (small frame)

eta: According to Tanita, I have 27% body fat as well.

Hello? Motivation?

... are you there?

Yes, I missed my week 10 weigh day post. I still weighed 119 on Wednesday. I haven't been consistently tracking on SparkPeople, and I haven't been exercising. My motivation is waning. *sigh*

This morning I weighed 118. Yay! At least I'm still losing weight even if I'm not tracking or exercising. I'm not losing as quickly or consistently as I was, but at least it's progress.

Now, if only I could find my missing motivation.
