Update

Sheena will be happy to know that her evil plan to fatten me up while I was there worked. Up 2 lbs to 174. Sigh.

But on the upside I went back to the gym this morning and ran over three miles straight, which I have NEVER done before. GO ME!

Back to diet Coke, exercising, fewer desserts, and no more homemade bread ;) But the weight gain was so worth the trip...we had a blast! Thanks again Sheena!

Weigh in

Weighing in....172

I lost 3 lbs last week.

Suck it, Trebek!!!

All y'all might want to get on it....double or nothing means $10 bucks a person ;)

Fair Warning

I'm changing my starting weight to 175. Because I gained three freakin' pounds in a week. Yah. I'm awesome.

In other news I feel it's only fair to warn you that I have actually begun to work out. Pretty much every other day, not killing myself, but nice and steady-like. Today I ran 25 minutes at 5.2 mph and only stopped because the preset timer was winding down. That may not seem like much to you runners out there, but it means that I ran over 2 miles without getting to the point of feeling like I was going to die, which is HUGE for me. I just keep adding a little everyday. I may actually have to bump the timer up to more than 30 minutes in order to keep adding...not a bad thing.

And then I do my little weight machine routine. I'm fully expecting to gain more weight before I lose a lot, because muscle weighs more than fat, blah de blah blah blah. Anyway, I'm going to look awesome. Because I also have not had an increase in appetite. It's actually going away. And I've put myself into counseling so I fully expect that to help...mental and emotional health should translate into better physical health, right?

Anyway, consider yourselves warned ;)

Double or Nada

So it looks like we're doing Double or Nothing...

Let's start August 1st....same deal only we'll actally lose some weight this time, Okay?

I've started back to the gym, only two days, but I'm not killing myself, starting out nice and easy so I want to keep going. And the last time I weighed myself I was at 172. So that's 11lbs to date. Only we're starting fresh from here so I don't get to count any of that already lost weight. Crapola. But I'm happy it's coming off....

Let me know if you're in or post your ending weights for the last contest por favor!

Signing in...

163, as of this morning. That's one pound down from yesterday (despite the 6-7 fun size candy bars...oh, and handful of Starburst at 10:00PM last night. I'm sure it will catch up with me tomorrow)

Not so good but I shall count my small victories.

That's 5 lbs lost so far.

I guess it is weight loss but not very encouraging.

Mostly because I sabotage myself CONSTANTLY!

What is wrong with me.

This is the Accountability Part....

I hate to bring this up, but our little contest technically ended almost a week ago. I realize everyone is hoping I had forgotten, but I haven't. Soooo, time to pay the piper people. Post your ending weight with you percentage lost in the comments and then we shall declare a winner to whom we shall send the $5 a piece and the coveted squirt bottle.

Back in the game...

164 lbs...not good...not bad.

Not much to say about it.

Two weeks ago I gained two pounds and didn't feel like talking about it so I didn't post anything. But this week they're gone again so I'm back to my stellar 175. That lame little fact means that I've lost 10 pounds to date, but that only 8 of them count. Anybody else working on stuff or have you all given up on me? Hmmm? I know Mel's working out....anybody else?

ARGH MATEYS!

WHo knows if I'm loosing.

I don't.

Hard to keep track of if you don't have a scale.

But...I AM WORKING OUT...thank you very much Valerie and I still don't feel any different.

Especially today.

I am totally bloated.

Honestly...who bleeds for 7 1/2 weeks after having a baby and then starts their period 9 weeks postpartum.

I DO! AND IT TOTALLY SUCKS. (of course, last time I bled for 9 weeks and then started my period 2 weeks later)

SUCKY!

Time for workout sabotage...(although I just drowned the rest of the bag of chocolate chips in the sink this morning). I NEED CHOCOLATE!

Update

I neglected to post on Monday, but I'm down another pound.

175. 8 pounds lost to date. Still not working out.

Don't hate the player, hate the game, my sistas ;)
