Healthy Monday Check-In

Aw heck, I'll start this one today. Those of you who saw my post about my first dress fitting know that I am about to get hardcore with my diet and exercise for the next 7 weeks!  This morning I started a new session of boot camp, and am on day one of being wheat-free and sugar-free. I am also planning to incorporate some new exercise into my routine, including Bikram (hot) yoga and a spin class.  I am also continuing to train for the half marathon on June 26th.   My FI is doing wheat-free and sugar free with me, and is super supportive, which really helps. He said that after the wedding we'll go out for pizza. HA! :):)

    I have been working HARD at my weightloss. I do the Saturday bootcamp with some other Knotties and I do three other days of personal training per week. "My body hurts" are words that never stop coming out of my mouth!!!! I actually haven't weighed myself in over a week and I actually kind of enjoy it. I think I am going to wait about another week and then weigh myself and hope that the number just seems astonishing! Hahah. What I do know though is that yesterday, my trainer had me run 3/4 of a mile in 7 minutes! Which I though was impossible for me to do. My fastest full mile is about 13min. He had me going on the treadmill and said, "Don't look down, don't look!" I look down....and he has me running at 8.0!!!! Crazy man! But for real I am surprised I accomplished that! That is how I have been measuring my success....not by my pounds. Which is tough. but actually quite fun. I just hope that when I do go to weigh myself that there is some pounds lost. hahah.

    As far as diet....that's a never ending struggle! But I have been doing pretty well!

    I started doing 3 1/2 mile walks with my mother last week 3 times a week.  I am trying to find someone to do bikram yoga with me.  Where do you go and how much does it cost?  I am on an almost entirely organic diet and am happy to say that I am 5lbs away from the weight I was when I got pregnant with my 9 month old daughter.  I want to get down to atleast 5 lbs less then that so I have 10 to 15lbs to go but I have a year and 3 months to do it in.  :)

    Biggest Loser kicked off at my gym last Wednesday. On Thursday, I started counting my calories, taking supplements, working out 2x per day, and journaling my progress. Today I am down a little over 10lbs. I'm so excited.

    I called Deb Heeden today and told her about the competition. I keep rescheduling my appts because I'm worried that the intial fitting will be a waste of time. and wanted her to know why I kept doing so. She told me she was excited for me and we scheduled my first fitting for a month before the wedding. I'm hoping by the time I meet with her I'll be down 40-50lbs. :) Wish me luck!

    Everyone's being so good.  I've been good, but last week I was tired and lazy and didn't really work out (except Sat bootcamp) and my diet wasn't horrible, but it wasn't good.  I'm back on track this week.  Down about 5 lbs so far, but that's not enough or fast enough.  First fitting tomorrow.

    I have been doing cardio 2-3 times a week (elliptical and spinning class) and trying to get my yoga to keep me sane from this stress.

    Doing Suzanne Somers diet and has been doing good. This week, I can't really do anything because of me being under the weather.
