Struggling

I have had a rough few weeks. I have tried to keep up with exercising, but I have slacked. One week I was extremely tired, other times I just don't want to, and some days it just doesn't work to exercise. And on the days I do exercise, I seem to have a major sweet tooth.

However I have had some successes too. A couple weeks ago I went running in Brigham City. I ran my first mile in 9:11 and finished 3 miles in 32 minutes. So that isn't bad, just need to work on keeping my pace. I am working on mastering level 3 of my Jillian workouts, and making some progress. And my pants are fitting looser all the time, even if the scale is not my friend.

So that is where I am at. I am trying to be more diligent in my exercising to rid myself of this weight and to be able to fit into ALL my clothes again. It is slow. I won't make my weight loss by December 17, but I will keep working, and it will come...in time.

Some Success

I thought it was about time to put in an update. I was pretty sick last week, but decided to ease down the exercising instead of skipping it altogether. I just rode my bike, 20 minutes on Monday, 30 on Tuesday, none on Wednesday, 30 on Thursday and 35 on Friday (only because Preston needed my help to get the kids ready for halloween, I wanted to keep going). On Friday we went to CiCi's for dinner and I ate more than I should, so I got up on Saturday and rode for 40 minutes to try to help make up for the pizza and for missing Wednesday.

So, I've now exercised five times a week for 20-60 minutes for 18 weeks. I've lost 4 1/2 pounds, 4 inches around my waist and 2 inches around my hips. I've almost made my December goal!

Hope all is going well for all of you.
