1 Final Blog

One final blog before this contest comes to an end. The contest may end, but all of our journeys continue. For me I know I still need to lose more in my mid section and I would like to tone up my arms and legs.  I know the hardest part now will be maintaining our new life styles. I want to thank all of the sponsors of the contest, along with Cori from the Health department and Laura from the News-Herald. I especially want to thank all my family and friends who have gave me tremendous support. Tomorrow will be our Final weigh in and our after pictures. I want to wish all the contestants Good Luck, this is not the end but our new beginnings.

Measurements

Today was measurement day. I'm surprised by how many inches I have lost.  Didn't expect that much.

It's Here

So my Total Gym is here. It arrived while I was on my walk after work. Of course it was heavy to drag in. Had to leave after dragging it in to go to my Aquacise class at the Y.  Hubby was putting the finishing touches together when I got home.  Dinner and some total gym before bed.

Body Media

Enjoying my body media. I like seeing the calorie burn number after wearing the armband all day. As long as my summary shows more burned than consumed, I'm good. If I need to exercise more, I can see that and do more that evening. I think this is what I needed. It will help me in my journey after the contest is over. I want to lose a little more and then work on maintaining.  I really believe that the body media will get me there. Thanks to my Husband for purchasing it for me. Now one of these days I need to purchase some new clothes.

Rules?

Not to concerned with blogging anymore since it doesn't seem to be a factor if you stay in the competition or not.  Some of the contestants have been slacking at blogging.  Don't get me wrong, I know it's hard to remember to blog, but I used to be nervous that if I didn't blog then I would be removed from the contest. But the rules are not being enforced this late in the contest.  So I'm just venting for my weekly blog this week.
