The 17th Biggest Loser contestant

Last Friday I started doing workouts at home in addition to my classes at work. I'm working on a weight loss goal and I'm a third of the way there. My goal was to lose 30 lbs by the season finale of the Biggest Loser. That gave me roughly 17 weeks to drop the weight. I am keeping a record of my weekly weigh-ins. Needless to say that I'm losing as much as the BL contestants. But I don't really need to. Once I reach the finale. I'll set another goal to lose the next set of lbs. One thing that has helped is changing my diet and exercising.

I will admit that I don't have the calorie counting down. I'm looking at the numbers as a guideline. But I will admit that I'm not keeping a food journal. I am though planning better meals for myself and eating smaller portions.

Right now my biggest hurdle is my current weight. I'm at the weight where things have usually fallen apart for me. So I'll just to plow through this barrier and keep on going. Running has helped. It helps me think. When I'm on the treadmill, I can be inside of my head. It sounds crazy, but in noise of the gym, I can tune the world out and just get in my own head space.

My running goal is to do a 5K. We'll see how that goes.
