I can't believe that I'm in week 22! When I started this journey I had a really hard time seeing myself here, having followed through with my plan for so many weeks. Sure, I've had setbacks and I've failed and eaten stupid things. But I never stopped, and that's what makes this time around different. And make no mistake, the deciding factor this time is you, my friends. The accountability I feel with this blog, your support and how I have to really reflect on things going on when I write and share.. it makes all the difference in the world - it really does!! Unfortunately I didn't lose any weight this week, but when I look at my exercise, food and water - I don't care. I've done great work, and my body will follow!
Starting weight: 123.2kg / 272lb
Previous weigh-in: 109.3kg / 240.9lb
Current weight: 109.3kg / 240.9lb
This week's loss: 0kg / 0lb
Total loss: 13.9kg / 31.1lb
Spring Chick Challenge goals:
- I will work out 4x times.
YES!!! 7 workouts - killed it!
- I will drink 1.5L water each day
YES!!!
- Not exceed 1600kcal.
YES!!!
I told you I was going to come back this week with a lot of YES'es and I sure did! I am proud of myself, I feel like I gave it my all this week. I can really feel how spring is making a difference in my attitude and drive. I want to get out in the sun and burn burn burn!
You know you have been my motivation during this challenge. We are very close in numbers so seeing your updates keeps me going. You will see a good loss next week I bet, after all the awesome hiking you have been doing. I am looking forward to the next challenge too :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week this week!
You've got the right attitude, girl. You know you're doing what right for you health and your body will follow.
ReplyDeleteMy inspiration to not give up this week.
Great job!
What a great attitude you have Maren! It is contagious and that is one of the reasons you are such an inspiration to me! You said it about not stopping. It took me 3 years to lose 80 pounds. If I had quit... anywhere along the way... where would I be today? That gives me an idea for a blog post!!! Perseverance is key to our success!!!
ReplyDeletelove love love your attitude.
ReplyDeleteIm borrowing some this morning :)

You are changing your life and your behaviors - the most important things in my opinion. Sure we have to adjust our eating and we all are working on all these things that will make long-term success a reality for us. I agree that blogging is tremendous help. Just knowing we are not alone and that others face the same challenges that we do is priceless. Take care.
ReplyDeleteYou are my motivation :D
ReplyDeleteNever give up, never back down!
Maren your doing awesome as usual!! I love that no matter what you keep pushing forward.. Have a wonderful week!!
ReplyDeleteYou have had such amazing progress already, I'm so in awe of you!!
ReplyDeleteYou have done great!!! Not stopping is key! Feeling confident in your food and workouts are key! Yup, the weight loss will follow. And it will just keep getting better with the arrival of spring weather!! Awesome job so far. You are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Maren! So glad we have become blogging friends through this journey :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! So happy for you. I agree, the very close promise of warmer weather does help!
ReplyDeleteI think we all need Spring to help us get out of the winter blues and germs. You are doing great, Maren! Proud to call you a friend. Oh, I also saw on another blog that you were thinking of reading the Hunger Games trilogy...do it! I loved it!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing awesome, Maren! I'm behind this week, just got caught up on about 6 of your posts, and all I can say is, the hiking trails where you live are so beautiful, it's no wonder you're getting all your exercise in!
ReplyDeleteYou had a solid February, you're on track, and yes, we support you... but you support us too!
Keep it up!
I'm glad you have your support system all sorted out! I love blogging for that reason.
ReplyDeleteMaybe not a negative number this week, but excellent habits are being created that will sustain long term success! I believe in you!
Great attitude, Maren! Blogging does make a huge difference with maintaining accountability and with both giving and receiving support!
ReplyDeleteThat's so great!! You are a huge inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYou had a great month! Rocking it:) Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteMaren, you are AWESOME!!!!!!! You inspire me! Have a great week!!!
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Maren! You are such an inspiration for the rest of us, and your attitude is contagious. The scale doesn't tell the entire story, and you are smart enough to know that. Keep up the good work - it is paying huge dividends to you!
ReplyDeleteKeeping going is really important, I agree. Don't let anything get you in the way or set up back. If you slip up just get back on the wagon and keep going.
ReplyDeleteYou are a huge inspiration and motivator, Maren. You;re doing amazingly xx
Great job!... I love reading your blog. I have wanted (and would have) quite so many times. But like you this whole blog thing has made the difference and I am still here, still on plan, still making (slooooow) progress.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your support.
Great job! And it seems like you were at 12 lbs lost just the other day! Look at you go...fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWhenever I read your posts, I can hear the smile in your voice. You are so positive, it really is infectious!!!
