20/72/3

These are my goal numbers.

20 minutes of cardio a day.
72 oz. of water during the work-day.
3 lbs. lost a week.

I have 5 more weigh-ins for the competition at school. I'm pretty sure I'm out of the running as one lady is way out in front of the pack. However, I'm not giving up on my personal goal. This week I'm allowing a bit of leniency with the 3 lbs lost b/c I actually have 3 less days than normal since I just weighed in today instead of Friday. The last week we weigh in on Wednesday instead of Friday, so I'll shoot for 2 lbs that week. My goal is 13 lbs. by Nov. 26. I'm currently down 7.6 lbs. Twenty even would be fabulous! I had a spell where I was consistently losing 1.5lbs a week. The last couple of weeks have been weird. But I'm hoping with the addition of exercise, I can see faster results. I'm a bit nervous that working out will cause me to want to eat a bit more in the evenings. I need to get to the store to get veggies to munch on!

I'm also planning on increasing my work-out time by 5-10 minutes every week or two. I'd like to be at 40 minutes consistently by Thanksgiving. It might be hard to get that in every night because of Layla's and Jeremy's schedules, but I'm going to try.
