I weighed in this morning at 212.6 lbs which is a .4 lb loss for the week. This brings my total weight loss so far to 43.4 pounds.
Nothing to write home about, eh? I’m still trending downwards, though, which is awesomely awesome. 
I’ll take a .4 loss over a gain any day!
It’s time for my first Weekend Warrior update. Thanks to Brandon for hosting this challenge!
Anyway, here are the three goals I set for myself this weekend and how I fared on each:
- Work out Friday night for at least 30 minutes.
- Map out and walk/run 3 miles on Sunday.
- Limit myself to 1 glass of tea each day.
I did not do this. My mom got out of the hospital Friday, so after work we ate dinner and then immediately went to her house to visit and didn’t get home till late. I know that’s no excuse, I still could have done SOMEthing once I got home, but I didn’t. So I told myself I’d make up for it on Sunday. Which I didn’t do either. 
Success. Felt good too!
Success. I actually only had one glass all weekend long. It’s a good thing not feeling weighed down by all that sugar.
I really want to thank Brandon for starting this challenge. It’s such a GREAT idea. I never really acknowledged the fact that weekends were my weakness prior to this. It’s also pretty dang cool reading the blogs of my fellow warriors, some of which I’d never been to before. I love meeting new people!
Another thing…As of Friday I was 26.5 miles (more than a marathon) away from reaching my Perfect 10 goal of 100. Since I got another 7.1 miles in this weekend, that leaves me with 19.4 miles left to do before Friday. (eek!) Even though this goal seemed so far out of reach, I said I was going to try and I meant it.
Lori had a good idea in my comments. She said:
For the walking, maybe tack on an extra 1.5 mile walk at the opposite end of the day where you do your usual one to get those miles in without getting too tired (or burnt out).
So here’s my plan:
Tonight: 3 miles
Tuesday morning: 3 miles
Tuesday Evening: 1.5 miles
Wednesday Morning: 3 miles
Wednesday Evening: 1.5 miles
Thursday Morning: 3 miles
Thursday Evening: 1.5 miles
Friday morning: 3 miles
for a total of 20.5 miles; just over my goal. Thanks Lori for the suggestion! Now I just have to stick to it. This is far more than I do on an average week, so wish me luck!
Edited to add: Check out this great giveaway over at Stellar Path, where you can win Jillian’s 30 Day Shred! I’ve read so many great things about this program; it’d be super cool to win it.

Congrats on another loss this week Josie!! A loss is a loss and you are doing great! Good luck with your mileage plan. It looks good to me! I am thinking about joining you all on the weekend warrior challenge.
good job! Thanks for stopping by my blog as well! I love the weight loss blogosphere
Great job on the loss! Every little one adds up over time, you’ll be surprised at the total pounds lost pile up!
Congrats on the loss Josie…that’s a lot of weeks of losses in a row, I’m so proud!
Like you, I let the miles catch up to me on this challenge. So i’m laying down an EXTRA challenge to you to let’s finish strong! Hopefully completely finish, but at least come close! I’m working my tail off trying to! You up for it?
I loved the Challenge too. I also think that .4 lb loss is something to get excited about. It’s going in the right direction!
The trend downward is what matters – not the slope of the line! You are doing great – congratulations!!
Overall I’d call that a very successful weekend. Thanks for being part of the challenge Josie! And congrats on the loss
I think it is great you participated in the Weekend Warrior Challenge. Weekends can certainly be counterproductive to a healthy living plan, but you rocked it. I need to participate in the next one!
I think your walking plan is awesome, too.
Good job Josie! I love that you are sticking with it & every little thing is a success!!! Glad your mom is better too!
A loss, a successful weekend, and a plan to hit those P10 goals? Way to go, hot stuff!
A loss is a loss. And maybe that means that you’re primed to drop this week?
I’m loving the WWC, too! Brandon had a great idea.
Best of luck on the walking plan. I know you can do it. How awesome would that be???
That’s is an awesome job you’ve done Josie. A very well thought out plan that will results it great accomplishments. Congrats on the loss as well and with all the walking/running you’ll be doing I am sure that will burn a lot of calories and the ebed result will be a HUGE loss next week. Keep up the great work!
I love your new pic in the about corner! You have just rocked this weight loss thing!!
Great job Josie! Your pics are so neat and I *definitely* see a big change.
