Week 18 Report

After 18 weeks I have lost around 68 lbs.! For week 18 alone I lost 6.5 lbs.! That brings my total for 18 weeks to 68 lbs.!

I was a little worried about my weigh-in at the middle of last week. I missed a workout and had Whataburger for dinner one night. However, that day I did not workout was not a complete waste. I ended up cleaning up my kitchen and living room and still ended up with a shirt soaked with sweat. So I still felt pretty confident that I would have a good number. Last week I also noticed that my goal pants are starting to fit a little better as time goes by.

Yesterday was a rough day for me. The night before I stayed up way too late cleaning house and putting away my laundry. I finally fell asleep around 3:00 a.m. Monday morning. I had to be up at 7:15 for my managers' meeting at 8:00. After the meeting I fully intended to workout, but as soon as I got home and sat on the couch I was out like a light. I was just going to watch Sportscenter for just a little bit when I started to get comfortable. That was all it took. My body was not going to let me go another step until it got the proper rest it needed. I got up a few hours later, had lunch, got ready for work and took off. As I was leaving work later that night around 10:30 p.m., a friend told me, "Enjoy your day off. Enjoy your workout." That's when the idea popped in my head that I could do a workout when I got home. I've never done a late night workout before. I know I've seen the contestants on The Biggest Loser do it before when they want a good weigh-in. That is what I wanted so that is what I did. I came home, changed, and did my Last Chance Workout DVD. Apparently, it paid off big time. Maybe that is something I will add to my routine from now on. I'll see what happens next Monday night. Let's see if the urge hits me again.

But or now, it's time to get some cardio work done!
