jcatron243 · 02-08-2010, 07:46 AM

I cant believe this is the last week ladies. This challenge has flown by for me. Officially my w/i have followed the same patterns as previous Challenges , bouncing from 139-141. But my dailys have been mostly 137-138s this challenge.

Week 1: 142
Week 2: 142
Week 3: 139
Week 4: 141
Week 5: 139
Week 6: M~141 T~138.8 W~136.8~TH~136.8

Even though I watched the party at home, I still over ate. I cant believe how bad I stuffed myself. I feel gross still.

We need to decide on our next challenge.

It's about 7 weeks till April fools? Did horribly this weekend, we were snowed in Saturday so I actually got a lot of physical acticvity in with tons of shoveling - however I also made a batch of chocolate chip cookies which are pretty much gone now. Steak, potatoes and beer for dinner last night - sooo of course the scale reflected it this morning. My official weigh ins aren't until tomorrow so try and be an angel today and get rid of some of the water weight before then.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

W - 64+
E - increase activity in general
E - 24-29 pts
D - no 'treats' today!

Emily~Wow, it must be scary getting that much snow.

Sorry I had to bolt before I really finished my post. I remembered that on friday I left my house at 8 till and there was only 1 machine left open when I got to the gym. (BTW I live 4 blocks from the gym, it opens at 500am I got there at 455 at the latest). It wasn't so crazy today, but I still got there at 5 till.

I was telling you about my superbowl, uggg. We didn't have a lot of terrible food, but the sodium really kills me. I have been noticing whenever I indulge on salty treats the scale bounces. Its over. The scale will be back down Tomorrow.

For the next challenge I'm thinking it should run To the first Monday in April. April Fools Day is a thursday, Easter is the 4th so we can call it something like WOW No foolin its Easter Challenge. or something not so dorky.

W 80 oz
E 2 miles done/60 minute class done/ 35 elliptical done/15 weights done/10 summit climber
E 1400 cals
D Laundry. Keep the house clean.

Editing~my second workout is done

I had to change it up a bit because not only was it a mad house but the TV Guy was there working on the treads with tv.

Sounds like a great challenge name - more creative than anything I would've come up with

We got 2' of snow, another foot is forecasted for tues-wed so it should be fun. I'm from upstate NY so this is actually nothing, but around here they just can't handle that type of accumulation, takes longer to plow etc.. I'm actually looking forward to tues/wed snow cause daycare will probably be closed and I'll get to stay home with the boys! Having a grapefruit for dinner (cause I ate chips and dip earlier - argh!). Have a great night everyone!

Mindy~I hope you get back down to the 170's!! I'm glad your foot is feeling better.

Tiara! Awsome w/i!! You totally rock!! I'm not much of a football fan, but I chose to root on the Saints since DH and the kids were for the Colts. Yes my team won.

Emily~We get paralyzed in the snow around here too. Last year we had a bunch of snow, I think we ended up with 5 inches

Luckily we we had two 4 wheel drive vehicles so driving wasn't too stressful once I got used to it.

Last night DH wanted to go workout so I told him I would meet him there. He works out on his lunch break, but he can only get in 45 minutes, he likes the edge of working out after work as well. Anyhow, I think he likes me to go so he is obligated. But he tweaked his back and ran to the chiropractor for a quick adjustment and ended up going to the hospital for x-rays. I'm sure he is fine, but I did get in an extra 30 minutes of a light run.

Today~no workout I work then swim lessons. We are going to breeze through to the end of this session. Next session will be tough 610-730. We did this once before and it was a long night, especially when I work the next day. I will have dinner done before we go so the kiddos will eat while we are there, and for DH and I it will be soup and salad nights.

TIARA · 02-09-2010, 07:03 PM

jeni.. im like that too. my sister and i always take different sides of teams.. i usually go for who is cuter..loli usually win but there have been times my team has lost..
to day i weighed in at 234.6... i estimate i will need to lose a few more pounds to be able to comfortably fit in the pants but atleast im inches from ziping the zipper...lol... im determined..

also last night i worked out for 3 hours and that is the max on the wii fit plus. wow i found out something new..

tiara- really good job on the challenge...

i'm still around... i've stayed 180 the whole time. havent lost anything but havent gained either and am slowly getting back on track. i know i've said it before but isnt life a series of "getiing back on tracks"... lol.... had an awesome workout last night. work was kind of bad today. it can be so stressful sometimes and i'm not the best at letting things go. but i'm making it. everyone did so good on this challenge. i remember when i used to actually lose during a challenge b/c i was actually trying. what an awesome feeling.i'll get there again. my other issue is patience (or lack of). i know weight loss is a process and a lifelong commitment. it will happen sooner or later.

jeni- lol... it took me a while to get the name for the next challenge. it's cute. i like it.

JasonsLea · 02-09-2010, 11:27 PM

everyone.

I hope you all have been well. I'm so-so. Still battling an extreme bout of depression. Looking for a job. Trying not to drown. Bills are due and I'm 6 days away from getting evicted. My BFF called to tell me that Nikolas, my godson, probably has sickle cell. I still don't have my W-2s. And my weight just keeps climbing.

I won't be able to go to school next month either. I'll have to wait till August.

I might be in a research study though. It's for depression. I have an appointment Thursday to see if I qualify. I'm willing to do anything to feel something again and get some focus.

jcatron243 · 02-10-2010, 09:59 AM

hi onestar and shari!

I'm very sore. My regular aerobics instructor is on vacation starting today so we did Zumba. Wow what a workout. I didn't know most of the routines, but it was a great workout.

DH has a doctors appt today and I will be going with him, so I doubt I will get in a second workout. But I am ok with that because my muscles can use a bit of a break. Working myself as hard as I have been is starting to wear on me. I feel great, but my muscles are a bit fatigued. But then again, I love the feeling of my workouts and I am an animal!!

W 80 oz
E 2 mile run done/60 minute class done/ 30 more??? hmmm not sure
E 1500 cals. Listening to my body, I need some carbs and potassium.
D Get my hair done. (I hope)

mtiger · 02-10-2010, 08:12 PM

TOM weight is shedding away this week. 178 this morning, hoping for 177 something tomorrow. Got in an extra workout tonight. Our horse got a bellyache and we walked her for about an hour. Then I did Shred level 2 for 30 min. Hope that did some good.

jcatron243 · 02-10-2010, 09:29 PM

Mindy thats great!! I'm so glad that your scale is being kind

You have worked so hard for it.

No extra workout tonight. I'm going to have a glass of wine, and chicken and salad for dinner. DH and I are going to watch a movie and just relax! I got my hair colored today. I absolutely love it. It was way too much $$ to spend on hair but it is awsome

WEEDin is great today. I think I may be a bit under my cals for the day, Not my norm but I will get them in by the end of the night I'm sure. (I forgot I wanted the extra carbs today. HMMM)

onestar · 02-10-2010, 09:48 PM

got up and worked out this morning. it was a pretty good way to start the day. definetely was a little happier and could feel i had more energy. havent felt that in a while. i've got some things planned for my life and right now i feel really focused on accomplishing those goals.

jcatron243 · 02-11-2010, 10:02 AM

Workout is done!! And I am less than 2 miles to my goal of a marathon this month. I still have two weeks left of the month. Its weird tallying up the number of miles I do in a month, I had no idea. since Jan 11 I have done 50.5 miles.
