Okay, I'm going to working on replying more often...


I have about 4 or so weeks to get my butt into shape! I don't want to still be trying to "lose" down at college, so 4 or so weeks to get this pesky weight OFF! I think I can do it, if I just stick to eating at the right times and only eating when I'm hungry. But it's hard to resist that sweet treat when I can say "I haven't had much to eat today, it fits into my calorie limit". I know I shouldn't eat it, but it's hard to resist. So, I need to work on that too!

I'm still SUPER sore from Saturday's workout. We did hardcore manual labor at my church for almost 7 hours. Putting in a new playground means $5000 work of mulch had to be pitchforked into wheelbarrows and dumped somewhere else. OUCH! Still SOOOO sore. My dad thinks I tore something, because he doesn't think an 18 year old should be hurting like this, but whatever. I need to work on MOVING it this week.

My goal is 2 pounds this week. If I can do that much, I'll be on the right road for my overall goal.

As far as moving it, I need ideas. I have severe asthma, so running is hard. I can do it for a little while, and then I have to stop, inhale, and walk while cringing at the pain. Walking is hard with all of this hot and HUMID weather.. asthma gets triggered and it's almost the same as running. So a lot of things outside are hard right now. And I don't have any machines nor do I belong to a gym right now, but I really want to get back into doing cardio.

That's my update for the day.


Robin - CONGRATS on your weight loss!!! That's AWESOME!!!

Johanna - I, too, am envious, but not for the same reason. I'm envious of your motivation!! Way to go girl!
