X-Weighted Challenge: Week One Reflections


Alright, so I've got week under my belt and it was a successful one indeed. I lost 6 lbs.

What did I do to make this happen? I TRACKED EACH AND EVERY BITE THAT WENT INTO MY MOUTH.

Those of you who have been reading for a while, know that I'm a bit of a workout nazi. This is always the easy part for me.

My week in exercise looked like this:

M - EA Active, 60 min walk, 20 mins Abs
T- Body Attack
W- 6k run, EA Active
TH- 5k run, EA Active
F- 60 min walk, EA Active
S- Body Combat
S- 10k run

My eating was pretty spot on. I tried to avoid processed foods and filled up on fruits and veggies. I also stopped eating dessert and substituted a light hot chocolate to curb my sweet tooth.

I plan to do a little recap of my week after each weigh-in. I think it will be nice to look back on my progress.

My goals for this week: Up the water intake. I generally do just "ok" in this department. This week I want to rock the water!
To my fellow X-Weighted Challengers: How was your week?

My first week was good too. Not near as good as yours, but still good.

The one thing I'm doing well is keeping my water intake up.

Can't wait to see how you do with Week 2.

Maggie said...

Nice work Amy! I am impressed with the amount of activity you were able to squeeze into only 7 days! Well done.
My x-weighted week was better on the eating than the exercise, but I'm down pounds too!

Blossom said...

As usual, you kicked ass! Awesome! I was down 2lbs...but that's not enough because the computer chided me after...

Sunshine with the chance of clouds said...

Awesome job! You have an incredable workout week! Does the EA sport work well? I've been conteplated on buying it.

Life, Health & Fitness said...

Not shocking at all, you superstar!!! You're so going to get your romantic weekend with Paul! :)

Carol said...

I also rocked this week, down 3 pounds. I also managed to work out almost every day, just taking Friday off to recupe. Between my Boot Camp twice a week, and marathon training 5 times, I should be rocking the exercise. I need to control my sweet tooth (which I find exercise helps) so I'll also try the hot chocolate as an alternative. And up the water.
Great job!

Miz said...

Im with you on the water and am even replacing (waitforit) my daily diet coke with WATER this week!

If you find me sleeping in a corner thats why...

Tamara said...

I would be so dead if I worked out that much. And I would eat soooo much. You are truly amazing. Congrats on the 6lbs down! You might just win this thing.

Kim said...

Wow... you are so inspiring... have you always been a runner or is that something that you worked to develop? I want to become a runner...

Melissa said...

Fantastic first week! That has GOT to be motivating. Congrats and keep up the hard work!

Tricia said...

Great job!

beautifuldancer said...

Amy, you are a FREAKING ROCKSTAR!

You are so motivational! I dream of a 6 pound loss and I dream even harder to have a passion for exercise like you. I love it but you just seem to make it look so easy (although I wont take away from your hard work because there is definitely effort there!)

keep up the awesome work!
