Re-organization :]

So over the past few years I have accumulated so much stuff that I do not need or want. About a month or so ago I decided to go through EVERY SINGLE THING that I have and get rid of what I did not need, etc. My room is officially finished and organized and if I might say so myself it is beautiful! I already want to go in and get rid of some more crap though. It is now time to go and clean out under my sink. I am afraid of what scary monsters are going to be under there though! When I am done with all this I am going to be one happy girl & I won't have to miss fun things like get togethers because I am still putting stuff away! I want to be able to go out and pull the shenanigans I always do.
Like this for example ^^^^

This weekend is a weekend of rest so there could be some funny things happening (:

So in the past 3 days I have burned 4,066 calories (: I'm hoping to burn about 6000 Thursday-Monday (: I know I can do it (:

Weigh In 11/3/09

So I am definitely bummed out about this weeks weigh in. I didn't work out a lot this week which was due to the fact that I was swamped with stuff to do & a couple days I went over my calories but over the past 3 days I've tracked faithfully & checked my calories on my BodyBugg so I thought I was going to be under for sure. But then, TOM came into town :/ So that basically explains the gain :/

Start Weight: 217.4 pounds
Previous Weeks Weight:200.6
Current Weight: 200.8 [+0.2 pounds]
Goal Weight: 135.0 pounds

Starting Body Fat Percentage:45.9 %
Previous Weeks Body Fat Percentage: 44%
Current Body Fat Percentage:44.1% [+0.1%]
Goal Body Fat Percentage: 30%

Starting BMI: 37.3
Previous Weeks BMI: 34.4
Current BMI: 34.5 [+0.1]
Goal BMI: 23.2

Overall I am not super happy with the fact that I gained BUT next week I know that I will be posting a bigger loss (:

November 2009 Goals!

So I know that it's not quite November yet but I thought that the sooner I outline my goals that the more successful I will be (: I know when written it looks like A LOT of goals but they all basically correlate with each other... For example, my BMI & BF% can't go down unless I lose the weight. And i can't lose the weight unless I get to the gym. So really I'm not asking that much of myself :]

My Starting Weight: 200.6
My Goal Weight [for this month]: 190.6

November Goals:
-lose at least 2 pounds per week [10 pounds this month]
-make it to the gym 2 or 3 times per week
-do a workout video at least 1 time per week
-do strength training [ST] move at home 1-2 days a week
-stay within my calorie range for 25 of the 30 days this month
-burn at least 2500 calories per day [I LOVE my BodyBugg]
-get body fat % down to 42%
-get BMI down to 32.7
-drink at least 8 glasses of water per day

Miscellaneous Goals for November:
-call my freshmen girls at least once a week
-blog at least 3 times per week
-memorize one Bible verse per week

So here we are....

I cannot believe that it is already November! For the past few months I have neglected this blog unfortunately & today I went in to look at it & I realized that on 11/3/09 I was below the "goal" weight I had set for myself for that time! I was so excited. In September I signed up for SparkPeople [www.sparkpeople.com] and I have been blogging and using that site ever since! But today I decided that it would be good to blog on both so that is what I will be doing! Granted sometimes I will post the same post on both [weigh ins, goals, etc.] but I think it is important to put my goals out there with 2 different forums!
