Week 22

So this past week I tried harder to make sure that I was able to exercise.  For the most part I was successful, but I am still struggling with my motivation.  I can really tell that I have been struggling with my motivation recently, and it has nothing to do with being bored.  However, I have been working on my sad streak, and I am feeling a little better each day.  That is something that I never thought of when I thought about starting this journey.  I was prepared for boredom, time, and money, but it never occurred to me to that I would have a huge problem with being too sad to have the motivation to exercise.

Here's what you want to know:  278 (current weight) - 150 (goal weight) = 128 pounds to go!!!!!

Goals for this week:

• Exercise everyday for 1 hour (30 minutes min.)
• Eat more fruits and vegetables
• Pay attention to calories
• Stop eating when full

Weeks 19, 20 & 21

So I have been really bad about posting these last 3 weeks.  I finally decided that today I need to post about how I'm doing.  Recently I've been having trouble finding a job, which has caused me to get into a bit of a depression pattern.  I would go up and down based on my job opportunities.  Which would in turn affect my exercise habit.  Recently I was reading and came across an inspirational quote, which basically said that whatever you dream, can happen as long as you believe that it will.  That was just the positive boost that I needed at that time.  So ever since that day I was back on track with exercising and eating better.  I also started to get back into a really bad habit during my depression, where I would dip everything into a type of salad dressing...which was not good.  However, once I started back on track again, I was able to stop myself from doing that bad habit again.  I also weighed myself once during this slump, and it was back at like 284-286.  So this past week, I have exercised an hour every day.  I have also tried to push myself during the exercises.  First I changed from the 1 & 2 exercise on the bike and increased it to the 2 & 3 exercise.  Second I tried to push myself while I was riding the bike and tried to increase my speed to 13 or 14 mph!  That is huge, since had just barely started riding at 12 mph.

So here's what you've been waiting for:  280 (current weight) - 150 (goal weight) = 130 pounds to go!!!!!

Goals for this week: 

• Exercise everyday for an hour
• Eat more fruits and vegetables
• Watch how many calories I intake
• Stop eating when full
