Well, the "experiment" worked I continued on the weight watchers plan eating my weekly points as I have been, and increased my cardio for 2 straight weeks. I get up almost everyday before work at 5:30a, and get 30 minutes in on the bike or treadmill. I reserve my long runs training for the Pittsburgh Marathon Relay for my days off from work when I can spend a little more time on the treadmill. I am trying to limit myself to 1 or 2 days of rest during the week.
My weigh in this week has me down over 3lbs in 2 weeks, I am now only 16 lbs away from my goal weight. I am 16lbs away from weighing in at my ideal body weight and qualifying for The Million Dollar You as part of Dr Oz's Transformation Nation.
I knew this would be the outcome and part of me is wondering why I didn't do this sooner...OH WAIT...I have a baby at home who for the first few months of his life was up every few hours at night. We were lucky we had the energy to get up and go to work some days. I am shocked I didn't gain 10 lbs the first few months of Noah's life... (He has been sleeping through the night now since he hit 12 lbs...which was somewhere around the 3 month mark). Most nights he sleeps 7pm to 7am...give or take. We are blessed.
I am incredibly motivated now and feel like I have a renewed vigor to continue losing and cross the finish line in this year long marathon I have been through. Of course the work doesn't end when I reach my goal weight either! I will have to re-evaluate myself and set new goals for fitness and health!
Thanks for reading!
