Weight Loss Challenge - Week 2, Day 7 - Refocusing
Posted in: July to October 2009, Suzanne's Weight Loss Journey, Week 2 | 2 comments
I got re-focused today — although I did get hungry by mid-afternoon, so I need to make sure I eat at regular intervals. I dropped the fat down to goal level, got some fruit in and ditched the wine. Weigh-in and measurements are tomorrow, so we’ll see how that goes! I did take some preliminary measurements mid-week, but even though I hit my calorie deficit goals Friday and Saturday, I’m sure the wine didn’t help with any fat burning.
Here’s what I ate today:

Day 7 Workout
Because I had a really inactive day on Day 6, I decided to try a more difficult Cardio Coach. I didn’t realize what I was getting myself into! But I learned a lot about myself. I talk about it in my video:
I kicked butt with that cardio session!
Avg HR: 151 bpm
Strides: 6648
Cals burned: 502 (estimated)
Time: 54:00 minutes (Whoohoo!)

I know I’m a bit behind but I would like to start the challenge.
Is there anywhere I can post what I’ve done.

Hi Suzanne!
There’s no ‘being behind’ because this is all about challenging yourself!
I used to have a forum, but it was hard to control the spam. So, I’m using Facebook instead. You can join us over there:

I don’t have anything else in place, other than for people to post comments on the blog posts. I’ll try to think of something else for the website for the next challenge.
If you haven’t read it yet, you can start with my first blog post:

Good for you for taking the first step and making changes!
