Well the at work challenge is over this round…and I came in first!!! (Despite the fact that my last weigh in I gained 3.2 lbs….I blame it on the family reunion I had last weekend!! ) But I had a 12.94% weight loss for 12 weeks total and a total of 30.2 lbs lost. Our challenge will start again on August 18th, but I am not taking a break….time to be STRONG. Before and after pics in my photos…come see!! come see!!! :)
Well…one more week and my challenge at work is done. (But I’m going to keep going regardless if we start another challenge or not. It looks like I’m winning…I really didn’t think it was going to be this easy…otherwise I would have done this a long time ago! Pics will be posted on my page with before and afters next week! I can’t wait!! 
I can’t believe that I am coming back! I have been in this slump for a couple of years now after gaining back all of the 85 lbs that I lost in 2007-08…to the date I have lost 20.2 lbs since May 5th. I owe it to a challenge that we are doing at work called “The biggest Loser Challenge”. We put 20 bucks in to start and with every pound gained, that person has to put in 1 dollar into the pot. At the end of our challenge, whom ever has the highest percentage weight lost…gets the dough! But I am using this a motivational device just because I love competition! I could care less if I win the money….I am more or less doing this for me and my real win is the NEW me!!!!
After the disappointment of a challenge I was a part of crumbled and no one posted anymore, I started gaining back the weight….. I started tracking again today 7-9-09! I started to go back to all of the sweets and chips etc and I’m taking a vow to stay away once again! I am going to look for another “challenge” available on BS and I’m going to embrace it! I am also going to take a second vow that if I join another challenge and for some strange reason it should happen to fall apart too….I will not follow……
I have been feeling really weak lately-not physically-but mentally. I wonder if I am craving different foods now because I’m bored with the same ‘ol same ‘ol? I need to mix it up a bit and maybe get some advice from my buddyslim buddies. What do you do when you get into a boring menu and get tired of the same old thing? I get fed up with seeing my family eat things that I can’t have…for example Au Gratin potatoes! I get so weak! I tell myself …oh just one bite…then it leads to two, then three and the next thing I know it…I’ve eaten a whole serving that should have been counted in my daily food journal but somehow does not hit the keys on my computer??!! Then the guilt starts…boy you really know when you’ve been really good to yourself by this little factor. If you didn’t record that food entry, you are the only one that knows that you did that. That’s when you feel guilty. But….if you record it in your food journal…well then, you did it….but you feel better about it and you can move on guilt free because you have been true to yourself-mentally and for your eyes to see (and not hide!) 3 more days till weigh in and I have not been really physical this week….I hope I at least maintain…or lose a little
OHHHHHH…..I’m getting closer to my mini goal! I’m less than 10 lbs away now..I can’t believe it!! And I know that the jeans I use to wear at that weight are finally going to fit again! Do I seem hyper???!!! You darn right I am! There’s nothing more exciting than shedding off this blubber!!!!!!!! LOL!
I sure did win some…cuz I lost some! I may have not lost as much as I wanted to..but hey a loss is a loss! I originally started out at 210.4 and that was back on April 19th. When I joined Buddyslim I weighed 201 lbs. Now I’m down to 196.2!!!! (the ticker lets me put it in as 196 hee hee hee) For a grand total of (drum tapping) 14.2 lbs loss so far! I only have 11.2 more lbs to go before I reach my mini goal of 185 lbs!! Go Me! I’m so excited that I’m actually doing it again…and it can only get better because summer’s coming and it’s time to sweat!!!!!! Sweet!
I am so scared about tomorrow! This will be the first time I stepped on the scale since I joined Buddyslim…UGH! I’ll report back with the results probably tomorrow night being it’s Mother’s Day and all!
