40 lbs in 4 months

I'm challenging myself to losing 40 lbs in 4 months! 

The inspiration behind this is that I just started work as an independent courier for a courier company, meaning I'll be getting a lot of exercise! I just completed 3 days of training. Tomorrow is my first day of delivering newspapers on my own. It's going to be great exercise delivering 7 days a week. Although, my hubby will act as a backup so I'll get a couple of days off once in a while.

For the next two weeks I will be delivering 1-2 hours every day. Once I've learnt this first route well, I'll be taking on an additional route that will take another 1-2 hours. Surely with 2-4 hours of exercise per day, I should see pounds melt away! Plus once I get home I will do 15-20 minutes of light weight lifting in the amenities building of my apartment complex but only every second day or so. Out of the 3 days so far, I've done the weight lifting once. So tomorrow should be my second weight lifting session.

In addition to the exercise, I will be replacing one meal every day with Melaleuca's Attain shake. So tasty! I'll also take Melaleuca's women's Vitality vitamins and Replenex for healthy joints.

I found this cool weight loss tool on Pinterest that will serve as visual encouragement too! Using glass beads in a vase to represent "pounds to go" and "pounds lost". I have more than 40 beads in the "to go" vase because my long term goal is more, and I already have 6 beads in my "lost" vase because I've already lost 6!

So here I go. Woot woot!
