Day 23: I am starting my 4th week of my healthier lifestyle. And I am determined to have a better week than I had last week. I have already lost 13 pounds. And I am so excited about that. Even though I have dieted and failed in the past, I honestly feel like this time it is different for me. I am not even having the same thoughts I have had in the past when dieting (For example: Like how I was always thinking about and planning the next chance I would be able to cheat on my diet). I think I have come to that point in my life where this change has to happen (not the usual ‘need’ to happen). Meaning that need and want are two different things and my view is now on the want to change as I am ready to move forward in my life.

So, I am going to lay out my goals for the week like I always do. And yes, they are the same from the previous week, which are:

This week my goals are to:
1. Continue to exercise (For 6 days and 1 rest day out of the week).
2. Continue to watch what I eat and how much I eat (Five 300 calorie meals a day for a total of 1500 calories a day).
3. Continue to drink water throughout the day (Drink at least 64 oz of water a day).
4. Continue to think positive thoughts (Continue to improve my determination and strength).

My 12 Week Walk Challenge is going very well. I did my week 2 session #1 this morning. To start, I did a 2 minute warm-up at 3.0 MPH on my treadmill. Then, I switched between 3.5 MPH brisk walk and either 3.0 or 2.8 MPH slow walk every 2 minutes for 16 minutes. Finally, I did a 2.5 and less cool down for 2 minutes. I walked for a total of 20 minutes. This interval walking between a brisk walk and a slow walk really causes my calf muscles to seriously burn something terrible.

So this morning while I was exercising on the elliptical, I decided to increase my time by 5 minutes this week. So, now I am doing the elliptical for a total of 15 minutes at a time. I feel good about this small change. Hopefully, within the next week or two I will be able to increase my time again.

My inspirational quote for the week is, “Make the decision, then do something - no matter how small - toward accomplishing what you want”. I pray that all my FS buddies and I are able to live by this quote and accomplish our goals.

Day 15: I am starting my third week of dieting and I am doing well. My challenge (12 Week Walk Program) starts today. I am very excited about that starting. My goals this week are similar to last weeks, which are:

This week my goals are to:
1. Continue to exercise (For 6 days and 1 rest day out of the week).
2. Continue to watch what I eat and how much I eat (Five 300 calorie meals a day for a total of 1500 calories a day).
3. Continue to drink water throughout the day (Drink at least 64 oz of water a day).
4. Continue to think positive thoughts (Continue to improve my determination and strength).

For myself, I have already successfully started the walk challenge this morning. For my session # 1, I walked on the treadmill for a total of 18 minutes. I did a five minute warm-up. Followed by switching between a 3.5 MPH brisk walk and a 3.0 MPH slow walk. And finally I did a one minute cool down. It was very hard for me. I was sweating up a storm. But it was a great start to my walk challenge.

In addition, I also did my usual 10 minutes on the elliptical. So, my exercise is done for the day. Now, I just have to get through my work day. Nothing too stressful cause we are in our off season right now.

But anyways, I can across another quote on someone's profile that says, "If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse." I like this quote as well as the others I have posted in the past. Because changing my lifestyle is very important to me and it gives me hope that I will find a way to make this all happen and not make excuses. I am on the road to becoming a person that is healthier and more physically fit and active.
