I will be updating the No. Calories Needed blogroll tonight, and I wanted to be sure that I was linked to everyone who is linking to me! So, if you are linking to No. Calories Needed, please leave a comment and let me know! Also, if you have a “fitness” blog (of any type) and would like to exchange links, leave a comment and let me know.

Now, on to some weight loss stuff:

I have been doing VERY, VERY well this week! I’m super proud of myself. I’ve limited my calories, consumed gallons (exageration!) of water a day, and exercised (at least) one hour daily! I will weigh myself tomorrow, and I hope to be back down to 230 (or below?). I had jumped up to 235 to 238 for the many weeks, and was unmotivated, dieting with starts and stops. No more! As of last Sunday night, I have been focused, much like I was several weeks ago, and I’ve actually learned to enjoy working out. The key, for me, is to go at a pace that is “comfortable” but “challenging”. The biggest difference between my workouts now? I FOCUS on a goal: cardio, back, legs, arms, chest, whatever… I FOCUS! No more “total body” workouts for me. Nope. I go to the gym and I work a section or do cardio, then I come home, and then go for a walk in the evenings.

21 days, and I post a picture of myself on this site!

Playing Tennis

May 09 2007

A friend of mine (known as the L-Train, because I like silly, ridiculous nicknames) and I played tennis today. I had a great time, was destroying him with my awesome skills, and then he got “hurt”. Since when is a hugely swollen right elbow a valid reason for quitting? The reality is, we played for about an hour, I had a great workout, and it was fun to be outside!

I’ll be weighing in Friday MORNING. I have “feeling” that I’ve lost some weight (based on how my clothes are fitting) but I’m resisting the urge to step on the scale!
