Results a week late

Last time I blogged I was about to go to my first 6 week evaluation. It went well. I dropped two inches from my waist, 4 inches from my hips, lost 6 pounds, did 10 push-ups (first time I only did 5), and I am drinking more water, not quite teh crazy 4 liters a day I set out to do but definately more. So good stuff.

New goals for next 6 weeks:
10 pounds
2 inches off measurements
15 push-ups
10 burpees (crazy exercise that kicks my butt everytime)
RUN 1.5 miles by October 10th (Run to Read 5k)
RUN 2 miles by November 1st (Bass Pro 5k)
RUN a whole 5k by Thanksgiving

My Bodybugg arrived today. Basically, a device I wear on my arm that downloads calories burned, steps, and activity meter. Then I go to the software every night, put in what I ate and it automatically calculates if I had a calorie defiency. Also helps me figure the math...I want to lose 10 pounds in six weeks so I need to eat X amount of calories and burn X amount to have a defiency every day of X. Then I can see for instance, yesterday I didnt make it so I need to burn more/eat fewer calories today to make up. The cool part about the Bodybugg software is that it has a tutorial about how weight is lost, setting realistic goals, what you have to do to achieve...and EVERYTHING I already knew because it was information my great trainer, Missy had told me already. Thanks Missy, you are the best!

Thanks to all of you for your support and encouragement. I don't know if you read these blogs and that is okay if you don't. It has been a good place for me to reflect. Most of all, I want to thank Amber. Without your encouragement, movtivation, and pushing me along I couldn't do it. We are doing this together!
