Day 145 - Weigh in

It's getting harder and harder to lose these pounds but, I am also getting more and more determined each day.  I have been feeling a little on the lost side this past week because I only had 1 session with Jeremy this week and quite honestly, I felt like I had no ambition to go into the gym and work out.  However, Friday was a rest day for me and even though I didn't go into the gym, I did do my stretches and a total of 100 ab crunches before I headed off to work.

Yesterday I went into work and thought that I would go to the gym afterwards but, again, I was denied.  Apparently they had their staff Christmas Party and had the doors closed at 5pm.  Well, looks like I wasn't able to go then either.  So, I came home, had a bite to eat for supper and carried on to do my stretches and another 100 ab crunches.

This morning I woke up in a pretty good mood.  I have a lot of changes taking place in the near future and I thought that I better have my breakfast and get over there to get my workout done.  I hopped on the treadmill with every intention of only doing a half an hour but, I wound up going strong and finishing at an hour.  I had the incline to start at a 6.5 and the speed at a 2.6 for 10 min and then I bumped the incline up to a 9 and increased the speed to a 3.  I carried on there for about 5 min and then upped the incline once more to a 12.5 and the speed to a 3.2.  I went on for another 5 min and then dropped the incline back down to a 4.5, speed to a 2.6 and stayed there for 15 min.

Eventually I wound up doing a 9 incline for 15 min at the end and the speed never went down past a 3 for that last 15 min.  I burned 518 calories and was very pleased with myself for being able to do it.  I also wound up hitting a speed of 3.5 for 1 min which is now the highest I have ever been.  Hopefully next week I will be able to start a slow jog on there!  That's the goal anyways.

Today I am going to do my stretches before work, and make myself a nice meal for supper tonight.  I am having brown rice, a small piece of ham, and some stir fry!  Should be very yummy!

I am very excited for tomorrow to happen because I will be finally having my session with Jeremy.  I managed to get the equivelant of cardio that he wanted me to get within this last week and I am hoping he is satisfied with that.  If not, I guess he will be working me hard tomorrow!  :)

I was up at 8 this morning and jumped on the scale right away.  It turns out that I have lost another 2lbs this week making my weight at 227lbs.  How exciting!  A total of 37lbs lost!  Hurry up 40 lb mark!  I am getting impatient!  :)
