Walking away the pounds

Feb 10, 2008 13:15

No really I am! LOL I decided to do my 1 mile tape that I own and ya know what happened? I lost 2 pounds! I couldn't believe it. The friday before last I gained 2 pounds so I was back up to 184. I was upset but I knew why and I told myself no more! I was going to count points and make this exercising thing work. So I decided to dust off the 1 mile tape I had and do it when I go out of block at night and I did twice! I did it the day before weigh in as well when I got home around 10pm! That's how much I've been trying to get exercise in. So I go to weigh in on friday and I'm shocked! It took me a second to register that I was down 2 pounds because I thought I was only down 1 pound. So now I'm at 182 and I'm working my way to 178 by the end of the month. Why? Well I was talking to Sandy because I decided to buy a few things from ebay. I got 4 more walk away the pounds tapes and I got a walk away belt for the abs video's I got. Why? because I have a friend that I talk to on the ivillage message boards and she lost 122 pounds doing the walk away the pounds video's and weight watchers. I saw some of her before and after pictures and it just totally blew me away and inspired me so much. Ok back to what I was talking to Sandy about. So I told him on friday that I can't wait to get my new tapes and what not so I can really start working it. So he asked me how much I spent total on all this stuff and I told him $35. It's not that bad because I got the 4 tapes and the walking belt when usually the tapes would be $10 each and the belts would be $15. So Sandy tells me that I never stick to doing the video's which he's right but this time around feels different. So I asked him if he wanted to bet that for two months I would do the tapes on a regular basis and then if I do I get something and if not he gets something. He then says that he didn't want to make it about sex or anything like that so how about you get down to 178 and we'll talk. I told him why 178? He told me because that's when you can get your hair done. Well no I can get my hair done when I get under 180. So I told him that I would be down to 178 by the end of the month and he said you think you can do it in a month? I said sure there are 3 weeks left in February and if I stick to ww and do the tapes I will get there. He said ok show me. I told him your on so now I have something else to work toward so I'm excited and I got my first shipment of video's yesterday. I got the 1, 2, and 3 mile walk away the pounds for abs. I don't have the belt yet but I figure I'll just do it without the belt until that gets here which should be soon. Then I also go the 3 mile advance walk which I can't wait to do as well. I think once I get some more money's I'm going to get a few more tapes from ebay. Why VHS instead of DVD? Because I can do them upstairs in the room and I don't need alot of space for them. I might get a DVD or two sooner or later but for now I'll work with the VHS's. I will still do the gym as well but for now I like the tapes because if I'm not feeling up to going to the gym I just come home and pop in a tape. But I have to keep at it so I can prove Sandy wrong. LOL But no I really like having these challenges cause they make me really push myself. So here's to another good weigh in and I'll update ya to know how things go!
