Knock Out the Fat Week 12

Welcome to August! We are entering the final week of the George Foreman Knock Out the Fat Weight Loss Challenge. This summer and this challenge have just flown by. August always brings to mind back to school  preparation, along with the hope of cooler weather. I am looking forward to that - it's been HOT here!

Here's last week in review:

Fitness: A great week in this area, in spite of the busyness of Vacation Bible School every evening. It forced me to use my time wisely, and it also increased my daily activity! I tried finishing up the Gruntstyle challenge, but just didn't have enough time at the end of the week. I did get other strength workouts in however. Including re-starting the 100 Push Up Challenge.

Monday - morning run
Tuesday - warm up on the exercise bike, Gruntstyle Paralyzed workout
Wednesday - morning run, push up challenge
Thursday - full workout on the exercise bike, EASActive core workout
Friday - exercise bike, push up challenge & upper body workout
Saturday - long morning run
Sunday - rest day

Nutrition: The biggest struggle this week was the busy schedule and food at VBS. I mentioned last week that I would be packing my own dinner instead of eating the dinner provided, which I did. It took a lot of self-discipline to stick with the plan, but I did it. I love the idea of having dinner provided but knew that I needed to stick to the plan.

I love using my George Foreman grill in unusual ways. This week, we made one of our favorite snacks - grilled apples. We also made pancakes, utilizing the griddle plate.



The Scale: It was an okay week, so I'm happy with a .8 lb loss for the week. My weight loss so far in the George Foreman Knock Out the Fat Weight Loss Challenge has been 7.6 lbs! My BMI is currently 36.


Disclosure: I am one of 10 Brand Ambassadors in the George Foreman Knock out the Fat Weight Loss Challenge. I was sent a George Foreman Grill for my participation in this challenge and will be compensated for my time at the end of the 90 day challenge. HOWEVER, ALL opinions expressed in this post are 100% my own.
