Bodybugg!

I picked up my bodybugg today and I'm sooooo excited. It's all charging and ready to be put on tomorrow, I am nervous to see if I burn as many calories as I should...heck with losing almost 5lbs last week I guess I"m doing ok and all but accountability makes me nervous, HA. 


Good workout (lifting) and eating today. Feeling realllly hungry and need to drink water and/or go to bed. I notice I only struggle with feeling hungry when I slack on the water, so I think I'm actually just thirsty. 

Also am doing 30 minutes of hoop dance a day. I suck right now and can barely keep it up, but I will not give up! It's so fun (in theory, hehe) and a great workout. 

Mini Goal

My next mini goal is to get my BMI under 40. So that means I need to weigh in at 232.2 to hit 39.9 BMI. So that's 5.4lbs. I would like to hit that by November 20th. That means I need 2.7 average loss the next two weeks. Doable, and it will be good to see that my BMI will have decreased by almost 10 since March when I hit 39 BMI. 

Weekly Weigh In

I am down 4.6lbs today!! Woohoo! I made my goal of breaking into the 230s this week and then some :D

My consultant was like um what did you do differently? LOL 

I'm down from 242.2 last week to 237.6 this week. OMFG. 

That's insane. I honestly thought I might not have done as well this week because I didn't get ALL my food in on Tuesday, and usually that jacks me up-I gotta eat to lose, but we came home from Boston, i was tired, didn't grocery shop and missed out on like...a milk serving and a fruit and veggie serving I think. 

But honestly, I've been taking it up a notch at the gym, doing 50-60m of cardio, and I think that's making an incredible difference. 

I have 3 mini goals I"m working towards, the first is a Biggest Loser challenge on my JC board. I have to lose 7.8 more pounds by the finale in December to hit my goal of 30lbs lost during the show. And then my 2nd mini goal is to be 225 by Christmas. And my 3rd is to be under 200lbs by April 17th, my 30th birthday. At this rate, that should not be a problem at ALL. 

My bodybugg was supposed to be delivered today but i missed ups by like 10 minutes. Ugh. Soooo disappointed. But I can pick it up tomorrow after 3, so that's good. 

Off to take a quick nap before the gym. 

I am very proud of myself. I don't think I'll have any problem hitting my 3 mini goals-first mini goal is to lose 7.8  by the Biggest Loser Finale the 2nd week in December. The next is to be 225lbs by Christmas. The third is to be under 200lbs by 4/17/10, my 30th bday. I think I should meet all those goals and MORE if I keep this up!!!

They tried to deliver my Bodybugg today but I missed them by like 10 minutes. UGH. So disappointed. So I have to pick it up tomorrow at 3. I feel like a kid at christmas LOL. 

anyway, that's about all.
