This Time I'm Doing It For Me!!!

[Verandah Man]

Just arrived home from my 600 calorie burn-off workout and I am happy to report I said good-bye to another 3 pounds this week, bringing my total loss to 16 pounds on this, week #8 of my weight loss program.

But where's the nice pic of you on the veranda that you used to have in your signature??

Getting back on track. After gaining 3 pounds during our cruise last week, I got back to the gym this week and took those 3 pounds right back off again!!!

I had my best workout to date this morning, I spent two hours working out and had a 1125 calorie burn-off!!!

Just finished a mid-morning tossed salad, now I have to go outside and get the lawn mowed.

Congrats to you, Verandah Man, for doing so well on your fitness journey. You're a neighbor of sorts, we live in Pennsauken. I've done some walking around the Riverwinds property, and also along the riverfront in National park. You're so fortunate to live in a township that offers such a great fitness center! Keep up the good work!

Thanks!!!

Well, if you have been to National Park, then you most likely have driven right past my house on Hessian Ave. in West Deptford, I'm only a few blocks away from I-295........

Yes, we are indeed fortunate to have Riverwinds as a part of our community!!!

BTW, I used to live in National Park when I was a kid, I spent a lot of time playing on the grounds of Red Bank Battlefield......

Time for my mid-morning tossed salad, with fat-free dressing!!!

 

[traceycooper]

well done for burning off those holiday calories

well done for burning off those holiday calories

Thanks!!! I went to the gym first thing this morning, was only there for 90 minutes today, but I was still able to burn off 850 calories. I think I might have pushed myself a little bit to hard on Saturday.........

 

[traceycooper]

hope your still enjoying those salads & the gym Veranda man

The past week I averaged 600 calorie burn-offs each weekday morning and 1225 burn-off this morning, even with these workouts I failed to lose any pounds, mainly because of poor food choices this week. I did however lose some inches because I was able to move my belt up to the last hole, so I will take that as a positive result for the week!!!

 

[traceycooper]

congratulations on losing inches - i think that is better than losing on the scale & clothes not feeling any looser
Keep up the great work

Just came home from the gym where I had my weekly weigh-in. After burning off 850 calories this morning, my weigh-in revealed that I lost another 2 pounds this week, bringing my total weight loss since July 4th to 18 pounds.

My DW just remarked that she noticed my "tushy" is even getting smaller.........

 

[traceycooper]

congratulations on another loss
(& on the tushy )

Since I missed my workouts on Monday and Tuesday of this week(medical reason), I put in some extra time this morning. Spent 2.5 hours at the gym, my calorie burn-off this morning was 1500 calories and I also added in 120 tummy crunches. I was delighted to see the scale report that I lost another 2 pounds this week, bringing my total weight loss, on this my three month anniversary since starting my weight loss program, to 20 pounds.

 

[Verandah Man]

Another pound lost this week.......21 total so far...........

 

[traceycooper]

we need before & after pics
well done

 

[Verandah Man]

Arrived home a little bit ago. Had a great workout, spent two hours on the treadmill, 10 mintues on the bike, and 100 tummy crunches. I'm getting a little more emotional with each weigh-in now. I started choking up as I was walking out of Riverwinds this morning. I am now over 1/2 way to my goal, as of this morning I have lost 26 pounds!!!

I took off today so I could get my yearly bloodwork done for my doc who I see on November 4th. I'm hoping he either reduces my bloodpressure medicine, or takes me off it all together when I see him on the 4th. November 4th will also be the 4 month anniversary since I started doing my workouts and watching what I am eating. My energy level is going through the roof!!!
