Wednesday Weigh-In

Well, after a week of not weighing in I took a chance and weighed myself this morning. Still 180 lbs., which I am EXTREMELY grateful for since for the last 2 weeks I've been eating crap and only working out less than half what I normally do. So no change is GREAT!

BTW, I did get up and go work out this morning, and it was HARD! Got to get back into the groove, I guess...

Just one more night of eating crap and then back to being more strict about watching what I eat!

Happy New Year everyone!

P.S. Can you believe my overuse of ALL CAPS this morning?! UNBELIEVABLE ;)

I'ts coming....I know it is

146......that is how much I weighed this morning.

Still 4 lbs under my goal weight. Yipee!'

I'm like a sitting duck......waiting for the holiday treats to kick in.

I know they will. I am just waiting.

It's weird to weigh myself ever week. After going a month without it, a week seems too short. The day creeps up on me all too soon.
So....for this week I am safe.

Next week......we shall just have to wait and see.

New developments......

So, Valerie....you were wrong. I was going to plow through the snow to go to the gym yesterday if they were holding classes but because they canceled them, I did decide to stay home. Although, Rob and I spent over two hours shoveling the snow off of our driveway and walkway so I got a good workout anyway. In fact, every muscle (not bone) in my back is nice and sore and tight this morning. It feels so good.

Speaking of classes at the gym, Denise (my mentor lady) informed me the other day that she will be taking her Thursday class completely back and will only be alternating Saturdays with me. What a crock! It ticks me off but....oh well. I just have to wait until my blasted certificate gets here (hoping that I passed of course) and then I will either try to pick up MY OWN CLASSES or look elsewhere for work. She did tell me, in the beginning, that this fitness industry is full of a lot of gossip and backbiting. I just had no idea SHE was part of it. HE HE!

Wish me luck!

It's been a while

I don't know my weight. Somewhere around 140 I'm sure. I've still been going to the gym. Today I did a body sculpting class. I love it. This is a body that could use some serious sculpting.
I did ask the dr. about exercise and she said to keep track of my heart rate. It shouldn't be over 140 for more than 15 minutes. So, I am trying to just keep it at or below 140 when I work out cardio. I did have to back it off a bit today in my class.
Of course, then I came home and ate a hershey bar... meh.

Anyway, I want to know what every one else is doing. You were all motivating me with your stories of exercise classes and marathons and whathaveyous. Now it is a like we only blog to weigh in and even that is sporatic. Not that I am guiltless here...just saying...

So, three out of four days at the gym this week. Tomorrow is a new day and we'll see how it goes. I am planning on the gym...

Chari's Weigh In

I know that I've been absent for a very long time, but I'm ready to get serious about this again. I think that the last time I posted my weight I was at 162 (that was several weeks ago). Well, the results for this morning are that I'm at 158. Woo Hoo! Wish that it were due to some awesome dedication, but it's not. I've been eating junk (not huge quantities, but junk none the less) and my run this morning was the first one in more than a week. Okay, so the lack of runs had more to do with Joe being out of town, me getting sick, and oh yeah, the painfully cold temperatures. But the point is, I could be trying a lot harder and then imagine the results! My goal is 145 so, that's only 13 lbs to go, time to get serious!

Wednesday Weigh-In

No change. No reason to post other than to stay consistent. Still 180 lbs. Christmas is coming, are you mentally prepared for all the eating?

Melanie's weigh in......

So I weighed in again today. I know I only waited a few weeks this time but the temptations was too overwhelming.

In spite of eating ice cream every night for two weeks and feeling a bit chubby the scale admitted that I had lost another 2 lbs.

I don't know whether or not to be too excited over it (because it wont last for very long) but it was better that what I was expecting (as in, a weight gain).

Aunt Flo is even visiting right now so..........I don't get it but I won't complain (at least not too much).

It doesn't look like I will be getting pregnant any time soon so I guess this "maintaining" stage will be my MO for the next while.

Maintenance is a *****. I don't like it one bit.

Wednesday Non-Weigh-In

Thanks for the guilt trip, Valerie! :)

I haven't stepped on a scale for a while - been in denial and/or scared of what it might say. But yesterday at Target I tried on a dress, two sizes smaller than any dress from there that has fit me in the last 5 or six years, and I could actually zip it up ... and I didn't even take off my shirt(s) to try it on, just my pants, so it actually fit better than that. It was a good day. I didn't buy it, because there is no way on earth that I would be able to nurse my baby while wearing it, but that is beside the point. It fit, and that's all I care about right now.

Wednesday Weigh In

Happy birthday to Holly and to me!

This week is another pound gone (180 lbs), to bring me to a total loss of 20 lbs just in time for my 31st birthday.

Is 20 lbs in 3 months good, average, or slow, do ya think?



Also, this blog will not help you with your accountability if you NEVER POST ON IT!!!

Wednesday Weigh In

I'm lazy and didn't go work out this morning. That really has no impact on anything other than to say I'm lazy. But that's not why we're here, now is it?

181 lbs. Down 1 lb which I'm extremely grateful for. 19 lbs gone to date. Oh, I guess I never reported on whether I lost that extra 2 by last Saturday, but, um, this probably tells you that. NO. I'm not beating myself up over it. It was a pipe dream anyway.

But I'm thankful for what appears to be slow and steady weight loss. SLOW anyway.
