Wednesday Weigh-In My Weight Loss Plan

Weight training without a gym for weight loss. Look bikini fine.

This week, I have tried something new for my bikini body challenge. If you recall, I am working on having a bikini body for the summer. I began running yesterday using the Couch to 5K running program. This program is supposed to help you go from being a couch potato to running three miles in about two months. I began the program on week three, which is basically jogging for 90 seconds, walking for 90 seconds and then jogging for 3 minutes.

I was able to accomplish this task, about 3 minutes felt like a lifetime while jogging! I kept watching the stopwatch, willing it to move faster.

I upped my water drinking this week, managing to at least drink water! It was difficult to stay on track with the water-drinking because for a couple of days I worked in an environment where eating and drinking was not allowed for three hours out of the day!

I have also managed to eat right this week, except for today. They decided to have sweets at work, so I made today my cheat day. I felt sluggish most of the day. Next time, I don’t think that I will eat half of a cookie or something. Those sweets wore me down! They had some kind of a cheesecake, chocolate cookies, chocolate chip cookies, cakes, and soda to wash it all down!

This is week three of my challenge and although my weight has remained consistent, I feel slimmer and more confident. I think that I have lost some inches. I haven’t really been counting calories carefully, but I bought a food scale to weigh my food, so I know how much 4 ounces of fish is. I also use measuring spoons to measure serving sizes. The scale and the measuring spoon has helped me eat in portion-controlled sizes. I’m going to estimate that I’m eating around 1,300-1,400 calories a day. I plan on going to Bally’s and allowing a training to measure me and help me figure my fat to body ratio (if that’s what its called).  I’m on my way to getting the bikini body!
