Fessin' Up: Week 8

Another summer Monday has arrived and that means it's time for the Slimmer this Summer update/check-in/fess up post for week number 8.

My goals for the challenge remain safe.

Water intake: Still getting in the 64 oz plus.

Exercise: I walked every day again for a WEEKLY total of 13 miles and  I continued Pilates 5 of the 7 days- alternating my focus between the Pilates fat burning workout and the focus group (arms and abs). The heat around here is STILL of the brutal type.

Calories: The calories remain within the challenge limit---



Here's the breakdown for week 8:
  • Monday: 1366
  • Tuesday: 1253
  • Wednesday: 1154
  • Thursday:1190
  • Friday: 1098
  • Saturday:1231
  • Sunday: 1322
  • WEEKLY TOTAL: 8614  calories
Discoveries?  Yes. I have discovered that no matter how well I've done so far with the support of this challenge, I still have to battle that stupid jerkface sh*t head inner voice that tries to get me to fall off the wagon.  It hasn't worked but SERIOUSLY when the hell will he take the hike of no return?!  Enough is enough already.


Goal changes? None this week.

Here are the numbers for week 8:



Weight loss:  -1 lb (Total for 8 weeks: 34 pounds gone forever!)And, NO, I am NOT frustrated because of only 1 lost pound. I'll take any loss I can get and I am aware that it had to slow down at some point. I'm surprised (and grateful) that it hasn't done so until now. We women do have those hateful weight fluctuations.

Inches: -1 total (chest:= -0"; hips = -1"; waist = -0"; neck = -0")  Total for 8 weeks:-20.5 inches off forever!



Hope everyone has a fantabulous week! And don't forget to tell you inner voice to $%^& off!

  6. Of all the successes you are having, the one that I would (and do) have the most trouble with is the water intake. Well done for sticking with it so well.
    And a one pound loss is still a LOSS. Let's raise a glass of green tea to another one down!

    Mimi- Thank you! I'm hoping to lose it for good this time!

    Gail- Thanks! ICE CREAM?! I love ice cream! LOL

    Jo-And I am determined to keep them gone forever!

    Betty- We get out there around 6 every morning and it's already HOT! Once Tucker's carrier comes in, I should be able to walk further.

    Stephanie- I used to have issues with the water intake too. The challenge has really helped me stick with it- now, it's a habit! And the green tea is still part of my everyday intake- after the 64 oz of water, the green tea is my reward!

    Michele- Thanks! I will give Tucky a hug from you and I will take his picture once his carrier arrives!
