Healthy You Challenge 01/22/08
A positive report for my 2nd week on the Healthy You Challenge:
1) I'm at the 750-minute mark on my personal cardio challenge. Only 250 minutes to go, and ten days to do it. Well, nine days, because I'll take a rest day on Thursday. Since February is a short month, I've decided to allow myself "rollover minutes" from January. Everything over 1000 cardio minutes for January rolls to February. That should keep me pushing!
2) I changed training facilities last night, and it was my first time to weigh on a new scale. According to the new beast, I've lost 66.6 pounds. (Hope that's not an omen, though it might explain my mood. *G*) Who knows if it's an actual weight loss, or just a different scale. We'll know more next week. Meanwhile, I'll keep exercising and eating healthier and the scale will do what it will do.
Focus for the next week:
1) Water, water, every day – I've got to get better at consistency.
2) Home organization – I still believe my clutter tendencies and my weight are somehow linked, so I'm working on both this week.
3) Walking and walking and walking....
4) Continue to be grateful for the tremendous support and energy created in this network.

It's funny you should mention home organisation, because I think the very same thing. When I leave the house to get cluttered I always feel so much worse and it's harder to stick to plan. I have been meaning to do a proper clean for a while, I am cleaning my apartment when I get home.
New scale or no, you've got a lot to be proud of. Bravo! As for your goals, I had to smile at the addition of the last one. I can truly relate.
Cheers!

Wow! That's incredible. You should be so proud of your accomplishment. And I like how you set up your exercise regime (a certain number of minutes over a period of time). That's a great way to do it - very flexible.
Good job! That is a great list to focus on for the next week. :)
Sounds like you are doing awesome! You're an inspiration!
Thanks cammy for your lovely words and stopping by...oh...even our first day with the trainer was similar....we told her we are very new to this and we dont know what to do... :) Funny...isn't it?
but as you said its getting better...though our muscles are complaining...we love it...
Even I face the clutter problem all the time...whew ...how I wish a day had more than 24 hours...
keep going..good luck...
Rupa and S.
forgot to mention this, great plans for next week....all the best...you will sure make it...
Well done on the loss! Only you know how much hard work has gone into that, and how much more is still required, but I bet you feel much more empowered this far into the journey than when you started out.
I really like your goals and may just formulate a similar cardio goal for myself starting Feb. It's much better than measuring distance, because sometimes I'd be walking, other times cycling, rowing or swimming. Thanks for the idea.
I'm so glad you stopped by my blog because I am really inspired by your success! Wow--66 pounds gone! That is amazing. And I saw your previous post that you bought size 10 jeans. These are the things I daydream about :) You are really doing great, congratulations on your success!
wow great job this week and congrats on your overall weight loss! that is AMAZING! wishing you luck on accomplishing your goals next week.
I need to attack some clutter too! Very impressive, all that you have accomplished- you are amazing!
have a great week -
Hey I just wanted to say looks like you are doing great, thank you for the comments, and I hope we keep up with each other! Bravo and cheers!
You rock! Well done girl.
Awesome week. The home clutter does match my moods and desire to exercise. I find that when I exercise, I actually do a little more around the house. When the house is a mess, I want to just crawl into bed and stay there!
Way to go with a great week.
