Back to 145 - Week 1

Week of May 9-16, 2010, current weight: 187lbs.

Rule of thumb: Weigh yourself in the beginning of every week.....I continue to weigh myself every Sunday, Monday, Thursday, and Saturday and I fluctuate between 182-189lbs. On a good day when I wake up before the alarm, I can get down to 179! So here I am once again, longing to be back in a comfortable weight where I don't have to feel a role of fat when I sit down or worry about my zipper not reaching the bottom of that jeans button so that I don't have an open 'v' that tends to slowly come down after moving around a lot.

I made a goal to get the Nike Pacer which was $59.00 at Sports Authority . I researched the price on the Nike website and budgeted for this purchase at the end of April. I got the Nike band, red/black, then realized I had to get the shoes for the sensor! Since the shoes online started at $135+, I decided to shop locally and found an awesome pair of Nike shoes, with the sensor, on sale for $69.99, at Fred Meyer , what a deal!

Today I tried out the Nike shoes & band and found that it was easy to track and upload on the nikeplus.com website. I've scheduled goals and entered challenges for 2010:

1) Ideal weight: 145
2) Coach Program - Walk to Run - ahead of goal
3) Burn 4,000 calories in 4 weeks - ahead of goal
4) Entered the Challenge - Flab to Fab - run a total of 113 miles by 8/29/10

• Currently in 400+ place
  

5) Entered the Challenge - 210 for 2010 - run a total of 210 miles by 12/31/10

• Currently in 43,000+ place

My determination and perseverance is on and it's going to increase everyday!

P.S. Someday I want to go on the Ellen DeGeneres show to dance my shoes off and win some prizes!
