Totally Missed Wk 5 But Insteresting...

I totally missed week 5, but it was interesting nonetheless. I had to go home to Louisiana for a week and some change. Luckily, I didn't gain any weight while I was there. Didn't lose either since my eating schedule was thrown a monkey wrench with all I had to do there. But the interesting thing is I tried to sneak a fried crab cake (always loved crab cakes) and I fried shrimp, but I could literally taste the oil. It was overwhelming and everyone else looked at me like I was crazy b/c they didn't get what I was saying. It felt like my mouth had been coated with Crisco. I popped so many Alka-Seltzers just to calm my turning stomach. Never did get to finish that crab cake. My fried food days are officially behind me. I kinda told myself that after the 12 weeks was over, I'd treat myself to some Popeyes which I smell on my way home every day, but now that's not gonna happen. When the advisers told us how our taste would change once we alter our eating habits and that we wouldn't want the old stuff anymore, I just assume they'd never really had good food. But now I think about that fried chicken and biscuit and my stomach starts to scream for Alka Seltzer. Amazing how in 5 short weeks, my taste and habits have changed. Things I enjoyed so I now can't stomach thinking of eating them. I've officially crossed over to a healthier eating lifestyle. AMAZING!

Week 5 WOW

Well Well Well, my 5Th week is over. It was getting real tense with this week. At one point I had to ask our trainer if someone piss him off at work because it felt like he was taking it out on us. But we all just got together as a team as usual and dealt with it. I'm behind in my running but that's OK, because what matter to me most is that I can run a lot more than when I first started. It's been a struggle and I enjoy the work out sessions. Looking forward to week 6. (Yeah)

WEEK 5 - WOOT WOOT

Well, this week was tough but doable. I am sooo excited that I have made half the weight I wanted to lose initially. Week 5 and 15lbs down. Hopefully, I'l lose just a few more lbs before the next session start so that I can go over my goal weight loss. Before I started bootcamp, running was not an option in my workout plan and eating right, HA such a funny. But now I almost feel obsessed with eating the right foods. Dont get me wrong, it is still a task to stay up on my percentages and caloric intake but in time I will perfect it. Now the aera I am most proud of myself in is my endurance. WOW is all I have to say. Running the longer laps, I still am having a hard time with, but those hills I believe I have tackled them enough to almost say I got this.

I just want to give a shot out to my "Extra Credit Treat" partna dem. Clearly I cant seem to ever get out of this circle, until this last weigh in. Those treats are the truth..OMG. They definitely help.

Week 6.....WOOOSAHHH

RN-- Week 5

OMG. Week 5 is over. The up side-- we didn't get rained on! The down side-- only lost 1.2 lbs. That's about what I was expecting coming in to this-- only about 1 pound a week. Despite all the hard work and eating better, my body resists losing any more than that typically. But, so far its been ~ 7 lbs in 5 weeks. I would have loved it to be more, but i'm already eating only 1200-1300 calories a day. If I do less, I'll get told I'm not eating enough. If I eat more, I won't lose ANY weight at all. UUUuuuugh. But, at the end of this session, I'm eager to get measured to see how many inches were lost. I'm guessing coach is going to try and kill us this last week. This will be interesting since my shoulders and back will be hurting for a while after carrying my fellow bootcamper across the field on Saturday!

End of Week 5 nc

How quickly time passes, week five is gone already. I have not gained or lost any weight since the last weigh in, but I know it was probably due to my low calorie intake the past week. I still have a hard time eating on time and as often as I need to.
This week I am making a concerted effort to loose at least 5 more pounds, my goal is to loose 20lbs this first six week session. The work outs are still challenging for me, but my endurance and strength has come a long way from week one to week five. That I am grateful for. Everyone around me has seen the change in my body, I can feel it in my clothes and my skin looks better. Monday is the beginning of the sixth week, I look forward to breaking a sweat.

Just completed end of week 5. Feel good that I kept up with the program and made some good choices while I was traveling. Feel stronger, clothes are getting baggier. Hope to hit my goal weight next Saturday. Looking forward to the coming week! Thanks to all the Stone Mt. members for their support, encouragement, and laughs about this journey. It feels good to know that others go thru some of the same struggles, triumphs as you do. I look forward to a wonderful week!

NC Week 4

I had a hectic week 4.... as far as work is concerned. So I missed the second half of my work out for two days. The rain was ridiculous the past week, and it is such a deterrence. Thank the good Lord that no heavy rains fell during the time I was at the park. It rained before and after, with a refreshing sprinkle in between. Our routine has changed, never staying the same, always a sup rise. This week there was more focus using the resistance bands, more laps (which i still can't breathe right) but with time I'll get there. Everyday is a new challenge, a new part of the body aching, but I'm starting to like it. Four weeks complete, week five here I come.
