End of Bootcamp and 24.6 pounds lighter

Okay, yesterday was the last day of Pete's Slim U Seminar (class) and I weighed in at a lovely 281.4, which totally surprised me because while I had done the work, I thought maybe it was time for a plateau. Thank goodness that the scale continues to be my friend because I've worked way too hard to not lose any weight, that would completely frustrate me, actually not really, it would challenge me to take a closer look at my diet and my exercise.

I've decided to complete my next stages of weight loss into 6 week increments. The first post boot-camp increment is Aug. 28th through October 8th. My goal is to lose 2-3 pounds a week, just I like I did this summer. My initial exercise plan consist of (4) weekday runs of 3 to 5 miles along with 3 days of high intensity interval training and on teh weekends, I plan to do a long run on Saturday and a 3 hour workout on Sunday, to consist of running, steps, resistance training and whatever else I can do to burn calories.

I ordered the DVD Insanity because I'm totally insane. I'll keep you posted on the details. But in the meantime, I'm going to continue to keep moving along with my healthy eating plan, I don't call it diet because it's essentially the way I should be eating under any normal circumstances. I feel wonderful despite still being slightly sore from boot-camp workouts.

Kudos to me for a job well done and I'm excited about continuing this journey because losing the weight is not only the shortest phase but the easiest and only the beginning. The goal from this point forward is to keep in mind the ways in which I can keep the weight off for the rest of my life.

Peace and Blessings
