our own biggest loser.......

alright... well.. my husband and I have decided to do our own version of biggest loser.

Someone told me recently that I dont need to lose weight.... but.. again.. I must disagree :)

I am 5ft 4inches tall. (or short. depending on how you look at it)
We just got back from weighing ourselves and tonight I weight 150lbs! (which by they way i am in complete shock by that... i KNEW I had gained weight but i thought it was 20lbs or so... yikes!... my hubby thinks that last year i never was really down to 120lbs cause of the scale i used was old. THIS time we are using a commercial scale that IS correct and calibrated often to make sure it is correct.)
SO
since i weigh 150lbs.. here are a few stats:

• Your BMI is 25.75 which is categorized as "Overweight". A healthy BMI falls between 18.5 and 25. For your height, a corresponding healthy weight would be between 107.78 and 145.64.

• Your basal metabolic rate is approximately 1338 calories per day. According to the specified activity level, your body needs 2230 calories per day.

• Marine Corps Weight Chart -- Female ( according to the Marine's chart I am over weight:)...

Height	Maximum Weight	Minimum Weight
58	120	91
59	124	94
60	128	97
61	132	100
62	137	104
63	141	107
64	146	110
65	150	114
66	155	117
67	160	121
68	164	125
69	169	128
70	174	132
71	179	136
72	184	140
73	189	144
74	195	148
75	200	152
76	205	156
77	211	160
78	216	164
79	222	168

OK.. so now that the myth is dispelled that I DONT need to loose weight.... I am here to face the reality.......

• I have had some setbacks
• I have faced up to the fact that I have gained weight and its concrete reality to me.
  

Soo.. whats my plan you ask?

Keep training for the half marathon on the 4th (of course)
Keep weight training (of course)
but most importantly
be controlled with my meals, planning and fueling my body.


Tonight after we got home from weighing my hubby and I lifted (in the cleanest garage we have ever had by the way) ... Here is what I did:

• Squats: 12 just bar, 10 bar plus 10lbs, 8 bar plus 10lbs again, 6 bar plus 15lbs

• Leg extensions: 12 35lbs, 10 35lbs, 8 40lbs, 6 45lbs

• Leg curls: 12, 10, 8, 6, 35lbs

• Lunges: 1 set of 12 (6 on each leg)

Felt great! I am feeling it already! :)

I will continue to run MWF with the track kids at 7am
T-TH-SAT I will weight train 630am


I refuse to be classified as overweight.
:)

Progress.. not perfect. :)
