Slim Down Sundays -- Volume 10

Update from Last Week: I promise I'll get back to Sunday posting. It just seems like Sundays are my only day for really relaxing lately and the last thing I want to do is blog... sad. My goal for August is to regularly post 2-3 times a week. and Now, here's the goodies.
Weigh In: Saturday, July 28, at meeting, 175.6, down 0.8. Back on track(ish).

My Weekly Motivation:  Finding healthy recipes and energy for cooking.  

Exercise: Decided to run a 5K mud run with obstacles in September. With this in mind, training is slow going...  

Share the Wisdom of Others: Watch out for hidden fat/calories. the word salad does not always equal helathy... case in point, Snickers salad... ummm yummy. snickers and cool whip. I heard of a "healthier" way to make this that I am going to try. A WW recipe :-)
First Degree Goal: Pre-pregnancy weight of 172 pounds. It's like an oasis in a desert, I see it but it keeps slipping away!

Second Degree Goal: Find an activity that I enjoy in order to add in some exercise. I want to try Zumba one of these days. Anyone want to join me?
Ultimate Goal: 140 pounds/feel good in my skin/fit in single digit size clothing.

Slim Down Sundays -- Volume 9

One of the bloggers that I stalk follow, Natalie, has started a Trim Down Thursdays challenge to motivate and document her weight loss success. I've decided to come out of hiding and link up with my journey, so here goes nothing!

Update from Last Week: Seems like everyone is struggling with weight this week. I had a bad week. My motivation is out the window. I'm especially sure that my home scale is way off because of the difference between it and the one at my meeting. Oh well. Like the little engine said, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can."

Weigh In: Saturday, July 21, at meeting 176.4

My Weekly Motivation:  Do not have any this week... need to get my act in gear.

Exercise: Decided to run a 5K mud run with obstacles in September. How do I train for obstacles?

Share the Wisdom of Others: Weigh loss is hard work. Everybody struggles with it. Not everyone is like the celebs who can just drop 20 pounds at the blink of an eye. We have jobs, kids, and life that gets in the way.

First Degree Goal: Pre-pregnancy weight of 172 pounds.

Second Degree Goal: Find an activity that I enjoy in order to add in some exercise.
Ultimate Goal: 140 pounds/feel good in my skin/fit in single digit size clothing.
