Jamie's Diet and Exercise Program - Week 14

I had an entirely average week this week. Been busy writing, and the weather's ranged from decent to good, so I walked every day but one. I notice I'm getting flabby now. Especially my arms. I need to start using weights more often to tone up those muscles. The legs are tone from all the walking, but the arms jiggle jiggle jiggle. I'm also noticing things like my shoes are too big. Losing weight in your feet? What a concept!

Week of October 31st - November 6th:

Weight Loss: 1.8 pounds

Miles walked: 18

Total calories consumed: ~7,140

Calories burned via exercise: ~1,800

Year-to-date weight loss: 44.2 pounds

Pounds 'til Goal 2: 5.8

Getting close to minus 45 pounds. I'm hoping to lose a total of 50 before Thanksgiving. I doubt I can lose 6 pounds in two weeks, but I'll try. Won't my family be surprised when they see me? Last time I saw them I'd only lost 10 pounds and they kept commenting on how much thinner I looked. HA! I wonder if they'll recognize me now.

I am happy to see your on the road to thin, it is a total life style change I can attest, I have lost 100 pounds and kept it off for a year, dont be discouraged by the flabbimites that enjoy the jigglefest on your body it takes a lot longer for the loose skin to tighten but it happens more gradual, after all we do not get fat over night! keep up the good work and welcome to the world of feeling better and looking great! :)

Thanks, Connie!

I'm still trying (unfortunately without much results) to lose weight with diet and exercise, so losing anything is a great accomplishment!

Who's the woman?

You KNOW it!

Damn girl. Awesome progress with 1.5-2 pounds per week!!! Funny about the shoes, makes sense I guess. Is it a width issue, I mean you toes didn't suddenly get shorter? Snork! Imagine if the whole body shrank.

Speaking of shoes, I have a date with DSW. Daughter needs to exchange some boot she bought online.

Yep, it's a width issue, mostly, but I think I might go down half a size in actual size too. I've always had stubby toes, but now my arch feels like it's in a different place. Weird..... Have fun with your shopping!

Jamie, you have to be one of the most determined women I know. When you set your mind to something, there's no stopping you. And that inspires others. Way to go! And way to be. You rock.

Jamie C. Nov 7, 2009, 5:22pm EST

What a nice complement, Jill. Thank you!

I'll come read this comment again the next time I have a craving for a double whopper with cheese.

I'm impressed Jamie.
This is great. I've been training to do a sprint tri and maybe a half or full tri by this time next year but I keep falling off the wagon in my training. I lost 25 lbs but after vacation and I had Bronchitis in all of August and I put 10 back on. Now I might go get foot surgery because my big toe on my right foot is crooked so...
Anyway, I'm proud of you.

Hang in there, Ty. It's a never ending battle. At least for me it is. It's really tough when you get sick, so stay healthy!
