Mo's shape up plan: week 5: back on track


I've been so good this week! Worked out a bunch, ate right. Felt so so good to get things back under control and especially to be on top of exercising. Big news this week is that I've dropped enough weight to hit a weight that ends in zero. That means only 10-15 or so pounds to go to be back at a weight where I feel good and happy with my body. God, wouldn't that be nice?

Total exercise this week: 6 hours aerobic
1.5 hours on elliptical
4.5 hours running on treadmill

Diet: I was SO well behaved this week, sometimes probably actually not eating enough, in part because I have had a family emergency going on that has pretty much squelched my appetite. But I'll take it. Trying to be healthy in the choices I am making.

Items of clothing earned: 2 (another grey sweater, black pencil skirt. Hey, I live in Manhattan. Must wear black, grey, and brown to the exclusion of all else.)

Weight lost this week: 2.6 lbs

Weight lost overall so far: 8 lbs!!!!

Total body fat lost (based on gizmo on my scale that I only half believe): 3.38 lbs.

  3. I so need to get on this. Still healing so I figured I'd give it until after the holidays. I need to lose about 15-20 lbs from 18 weeks of baby weight, activity restriction since pretty much MARCH, and IVF procedures. Thanks for posting!

  8. Wish I had some of your willpower! Hope all the working out and eating right brings you lots of energy and a nice healthy body to go into your cycle in the new year (bringing you fantastic success, of course).
    So glad you've got a snow-happy puppy to raise your mood too!

  9. Well done! I'm going to go off the grief and loss diet after the new year and back onto South Beach and Pilates, and then I'll be able to wear what is in my own closet! Oy.

  10. You are inspirational. I agree with mekate that trauma diets suck, but at least there is a good side to it. I've started my own trauma diet. Have failed IVF, will trauma diet. Let's just say that portion control is not a problem right now! Keep up the good work!
