Y Fitness Challenge Week 1

While I'm still plodding along and still sticking to my plan, my motivation and progress was starting to wane. I'd find myself drinking an appletini and/or having a couple of cookies as a snack. Neither of those is a no-no, but their frequency was increasing to nearly nightly, which is a no-no. Besides, I've been stuck in the 190's since June and it's now September! I've dropped to a size 14 pants and size L top (down from a 22/2x last year) so the running is definitely helping, but the scale is another matter.

So, I signed up for the Fitness Challenge at the Y. The first meeting was Tuesday. I'm committed to going back to tracking and bumping up the exercise for the next ten weeks at least.

Now that I no longer have access to Weight Watchers tracking because not enough people signed up to start a session at work, I started using another iPod app, Lose It! to track. So far, so good. I like it and aside from a few strange glitches, it's simple to use. I also like that it computes carb/protein/fat percentages. I can see that I have some work to do in trying to get my carbs down.
