Life for this Body goes on

I am determined to get some pounds off of me this summer. I like how my workouts are going. Still getting it done before breakfast, six days a week. Tomorrow is "lower body"...ugh. I mean, whoo-hooooo!!! I get to do squats and lunges and crunches. Oh my.

I've started a Weight Loss Train. Destination: Smallville. It all started because my sweet little friend in the office has been wanting to drop a few pounds and, well, if you know me at all, you know that I'm one to help out another that wants to succeed at their weight loss goals. Only if they want my help. Let's be clear about that! If you're happy with your size, rock on! It's all about finding that happy zone where you are proud of who you are. All aspects of who you are. Eckhart Tolle talks about finding "Inner Peace". If you're happy with who you are, then you are that much closer to Inner Peace. So anyway, back to my friend. I got the brilliant idea yesterday to make a commitment with her. The two of us could each lose 15 pounds by the end of August. That is totally doable and with the support of each other, it will be just that much easier.

Today, July 1st, was our official weigh-in day. We both privately wrote our weight down on a slip of paper and then put them in sealed envelopes. Then we locked them up so that no others could view said numbers. I posted this commitment on FaceBook and offered others to join the Weight Loss Train. Lo and behold, many of my FB friends want to join us on our ride. Pretty dang cool. The more the merrier is what I say. Everyone weighed in and my friend Barbara suggested that we set the envelopes on fire at the end of August. Burn those unwanted pounds in a big old bonfire. I liked that! We are all going to post our pounds lost on FB each Wednesday (or at least that is the plan) and I will post my results here on my blog.

I'm still following the B4L food program with the six small meals per day. Small being the key word. I'm incorporating the AbsDiet with this...they're so similar, it was easy to mesh the two. I logged my food into thedailyplate.com since I hadn't a clue as to how many calories I was taking in with all of these little meals. It turned out quite good. 1250 with over 100g of protein. I wont log my food in every day, just now and then to keep myself in check.

That's what's going on at the moment. Taking a train, dropping some pounds and setting fire to something at the end of summer. Good times.
