Katie's Week 3 in review

Well, week three wasn’t kind to me… I only lost 1.2 lbs! I did a little better on my fruits and veggies, and I did drink twice as much water as the week before and still had 14 of my weekly allowance points remaining but, I guess I should just be grateful that I didn’t gain. Daley  is so sweet in continuing to remind me of this…

  This week, my goal is to get moving!! I want to exercise on my kinect 4 days and my friend, James is coming to walk/run with me on Tuesday to help keep me motivated. It’s only one day I know, but I think slowly getting in the swing of that is best.

  I get very discouraged when I walk or run because of my calves. I have always had very large calves and I guess I can thank my German heritage for that…My calves have very large knots in them (almost like ones you have from stress in your shoulders) and they tighten up and cramp after just walking a few feet. I have been reading online things I can do to prevent this like taking magnesium supplements and integrating more potassium into my diet. I am going to try a banana for breakfast each morning and on Tuesday, I’m going to have one additional banana before we set off on our walk. One great thing I read was how to massage your calves to eliminate the knots. It’s supposed to be very painful at first, but once the knots are gone and I continue the regimen, maybe I won’t have the calf problems I do now. I am going to play the YouTube video for Jay so he can see the techniques and we can start that program too. I’m looking very forward to those massages ;)

  Here’s to a great week for me & Daley! Fingers crossed…..I’m shooting for 3 pounds this week! I CAN DO THIS!!!!

Daley's Week 3 in Review

I seriously can't believe it's already been three weeks! I know I say something to that effect every single time but it's true, time flies when you're havin' fun.

So this morning I weighed, and,*drum roll*, I've lost two more pounds! Yay, me! I honestly could have done better but I'm by no means disappointed. I didn't workout as much as I should have but I did do my daily workouts with Jillian on my Biggest Loser Kinect Game. Also, not to make excuses, but it was my first week of nursing school and that took up ALL my time. Not to mention the fact that I haven't been on a schedule since, well, it's been so long I can't even remember.

Anyway, this week is going to be even better. I am super excited that Royce will be coming into town on Thursday and it will be the first time I have seen him in 25 days...crazy! This upcoming week will also be my first full week (last week we didn't go on Monday) of school, so we will see how well I do with even MORE to do, seeing as how I already feel completely overwhelmed and really behind schedule.

I can't wait to hear how Katie did this past week, I am sure she has fabulous results. Go Katie!

Daley's Week 2 in Review

Wow, this week FLEW by! I had a rough start to the week but it ended beautifully. My weigh in on Sunday was fabulous; I lost 4.8 pounds, yay me! I also got an Xbox with Kinect (an early birthday gift from my family) and I love everything about it. I started my Biggest Loser game on Saturday morning and it’s amazing, it really does kick my butt. The body scanning on the game is absolutely incredible and my numbers came out almost 100% accurate. Out of my height, hip, waist, and neck measurements, it was only off by 2” on my hips…not too shabby for a “game”. Oh, and I was able to adjust my hip measurement manually to make sure it’s everything is accurate. There are so many wonderful tools within the game but I think that one of my favorite features has to be the video diary. Every week or so I can record my video diary and then a year from now, the skinnier me can see what the not-so-skinny me looked like….that’s going to be freakin’ AWESOME!!!

I am really looking forward to this week. First off, it’s my birthday week. YAY! Second, I start school tomorrow and I am so excited to finally be able to have some structure back in my life. WooHoo! So, I will keep y’all posted on how everything goes.
