Week 10, Weigh In

Weight: 219.8 lbs (-25.2 pounds total)

Waist: 38 in (-7 inches total)

Hips: 45 in (-5.5 inches total)

I'm HALFWAY TO MY 50 POUND goal!!!!!

No loss in the hips and waist this week, been stalled out in that department but I'm still losing weight so I'm a happy camper.  Honestly, I'd rather lose the weight because I'm having fit issues with almost ALL of my colthes.  OH WHAT PROBLEMS I HAVE!  Lol.

This week gets a SMILEY!

Week 9, Weigh In

Here we go...

Weight: 223 (-1 lb from last week)

Waist: 38 inches (same as last week)

Hips: 45 inches (same as last week)

Not stellar numbers, but a pound is a pound!  I will do better this week and not do so much indulging.  I was really off my game this week.  SHEESH!  I'm taking the kids to see STOMP on Friday and Saturday so I will have to have McD's for dinner those two nights, but I'm going to do my research and make good decisions.  I WILL!

This week gets a SMILEY!

Week 8, Weigh In

This week's STATS:

Weight: 224 pounds (- 1.6 from last week)

Waist: 38 inches (-1 from last week)

Hips: 45 inches (- .5 from last week)

Overall totals:

Weight: -21 pounds!

Waist: -7 inches!

Hips: -5.5 inches!

I'm pretty stoked about finally being under the 20 pound mark.  Now I am on a foreign scale so we'll see what the scale at home says tomorrow but I'm really happy with these results!  29 pounds to go until I reach my first goal!  I'M ALMOST HALFWAY THERE!

This week totally gets a smiley!!

Week 7, Weigh In

Here we go!

Weight in Pounds: 225.6 (-1.4 pounds, -19.4 total!)

Waist in Inches: 39 (-.5 inches, - 6 inches total!)

Hips in Inches: 45.5  (-1 inch, 5 inches total!)

This week has been Crazy!  Here's the low down.

Sunday: On the road, had lunch out with my Dad.

Monday: Snow Day, couldn't go workout because the Y was closed.

Tuesday: Valentines Day.  Worked out but then ate like a crazy person at dinner!

Wednesday: Pretty much my only normal day this week, good food and 20 minute run

Thursday: Parent teacher conferences so I had pizza for dinner and was too tired to go workout.

Friday: Had a pretty good day.  Did good with food and did another 20 minute run.

Saturday: 1 mile swim, good food day.

I'm totally surprised that I didn't gain this week and I'm REALLY happy with my loss.  I am, however, slightly annoyed that I'm still .6 pounds away from losing the elusive 20 POUNDS.  One more week I suppose!  It's not like I'm stopping anytime soon.

Ok, I'd say this week, crazy as it was, gets a fruity smile!

 

Day 49

Today has been a pretty good day.  We got up this morning and I made a nice brunch.  I packed up a few snacks and my suit then Hubs and I left to take the foster pup we've been keeping to meet his new mom!

On the way home we stopped by the Y and I tried to correct my slacking off in the swimming department!  I swam a mile today and then Hubs and I went and played racquetball for a bit.  I tried to go upstairs and do weights but my arms were super tired after my swim.  OH WELL!  You can only do what your body lets you!

I made a DELICIOUS new chicken recipe tonight for dinner and we had a good time sitting and watching re-runs of Dancing With the Stars.  Hubs went out to hang out with the boys and I've been primping on the couch.  It was HIGH TIME my toes got some attention.

Tomorrow is my weigh in and this morning when I got on the scale I was right where I was last Sunday, so who knows what tomorrow will bring!

Week 6, Weigh In

Ok!  Here we go!

Weight in Pounds: 227 (-4 pounds this week)

Waist in Inches: 39.5 (-.5 inches this week)

Hips in Inches: 46.5  (-.5 inches this week)

OVERALL

- 18 Pounds!

- 5.5 inches in my waist!

- 4 inches in my hips!

I feel FANTASTIC about this weigh in!  Almost to 20 pounds lost.  Maybe next week I'll get there!

This week gets a SMILEY!

Day 39

Today I hit a pretty big weight landmark!  I got home from school and just for kicks I hopped on the scale.  IT SAID 229.2!  229.2!!!  I'm under 230 pounds for the first time (I'm pretty sure) since college!

Other than that today has been pretty normal.  Had a good dinner and a pretty good work out!  We did day 3 of week 5 of C25K.  Tonight's run consisted of a 5 minute warm-up, 9 minute run, 2 minute walk, 5 minute run, 2 minute walk, 2 minute run and then a 5 minute cool down.

I thought the 9 minute run was going to be pretty tough but it wasn't that bad!  I don't even think we need to repeat week 5 again!  We're onto week 6 on Friday!  WOOT!  Pretty awesome day!

Week 5, Weigh In

Weight in Pounds: 231 (-2 pounds)

Waist in Inches: 40 (same as last week)

Hips in Inches: 47 (same as last week)

I'm actually super excited about my numbers this week.  After having not really worked out for the past two days and having such a high calorie day yesterday I was convinced I was going to either totally push or flat out gain this week.  So two pounds is a great number!

  My week this week was really busy and hard to manage food wise because of that Honor Band but it's nice to know that I'm capable of keeping control and making better choices than I used to.

I'd say this week gets a great big SMILEY!

Day 31

Today was another slow day.  I really don't have much to say but I did get my 5th perfect day today.  Tomorrow I'm going to weigh for my 1 month mark but I don't know if I'll post or not.  My results were not stellar this morning and I really don't want to back track if it means my numbers will drop at the end of the week.

We shall see!  Here's to a great month and more perfect nutrition days in front of me!

Week 4, Weigh In

 

Ok!  Here we Go!

Week 4

Weight in Pounds: 233 (-3.6)

Waist in Inches: 40 (- 2)

Hips in Inches: 47 (-1.5)

In total that's...

Weight: -13 pounds!

Waist: - 5 inches!

Hips: -3.5 inches!

I'm totally happy with my progress this week and this month!  I made it more that 10 pound in a month and I'm seeing some real progress on my inches!  I did take a look back at my hip measurements and decided that week 2's numbers could not have been correct.  It was 4 inches bigger than the first one at week one, so my inches lost in my hips are back to normal.  Maybe not as shocking, but I'm still one happy little(r) girl!  Only 3 more days left in this month so I will be doing a mid-week weigh in for my Month 1 official totals.

I'd say this week gets a great big SMILEY!

Day 27

Oh my!  What a day!

I weighed this morning for Biggest Loser and although my weight is recorded higher at school, I've lost 11 pounds so far.  And I've lost 11 pounds according to my home scale, so in some sort of twisted way I guess they're actually consistent!

11 POUNDS!   I broke the 10 pound mark in less than a month!  Woot!

I planned our dinner and my snacks really carefully today and I got an A- with all but 2 of my key nutrients in the green!  I was really excited to get that little button on my screen!

We finished out the day with a little C25K, Week 4/Day 1.

Here's what this week looks like!

5 minute warm-up

4 minute run

2 minute walk

6 minute run

3 minute walk

4 minute run

2 minute walk

5 minute cool down

The first two runs weren't that bad!  It was the last one that killed me!  It's the knowing that you're on the last run and you're almost done that makes the time go slower!  EXCLAMATION!

Hubs, *J* and I played racquetball after a lot of stretching and a bit of a cool down.  I won the first match 12-8-10.  *J* and I played another 10 minute match and I won 3-2.  We were tired!

I'm going swimming tomorrow and I have to get in and do weights and some more racquetball!  I'm ready to work my tukkus off and shed some more pounds and inches for my official weigh in on Sunday!

Week 3, Shocker!

 

Today was my week 3 weigh in.  Here are the stats!

Weight in Pounds: 236.6 (-1.2 pounds!)

Waist in Inches: 42 (-1inch!)

Hips in Inches: 48.5 (-5.5 inches!!!!)

I'm in total SHOCK at my measurements.  I had to have done something wrong last week.  I worked hard this week, but 5.5 inches in a week???  I'm not complaining, I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around it.  I'm going to have to go in my room and try on all my small pants that haven't fit in forever!  I don't think I'm there yet, but I have to be pretty damned close!

I'd say this week gets a GIANT SMILEY!

Day 21

Today has kinda kicked my butt!  I got to sleep in today and after I got up and ate brunch Hubs and I headed to the Y.

Hubs met a recently re-discovered friend and they played on the rock wall while I did my make-up swim from Thursday.

After my swim I met the boys and climbed the wall twice (not all the way up, but about 10 min.)  Then we all went and played racquetball.  I pretty much sucked it up, but we played for over an hour.  BURN CALORIES, BURN!

After we played racquetball Hub's friend talked us into the hot tub which turned into the family pool, which turned into the slide and then we ended up back in the lap pool.  I did a couple more laps with Hub's friend (he's trying to get back in to swimming.)  We finally got home and I had a tuna sandwich and some apple slices with peanut butter for a snack.

I spent the next few hours on the couch doing nothing but after a long hot bath I'm up and ready to cook dinner.  Tomorrow is my 3rd official weigh in and I'm nervous and excited.  I really worked hard today and I might do some Wii Fit before I go to bed.  Nothing hard, just fun stuff.  I hope it is all paying off with a loss (weight and inches!)  I know I expect a lot, but I'm really determined to make this a life change, not just an attempt at a diet.  Keep your fingers crossed for tomorrow!

Week 2, Weigh In

My weigh in was GREAT this week!  I'm so excited!  I totally made up for last week and THEN some!  So here they are:

Weight in Pounds: 237.8
Waist in Inches: 43
Hips in Inches: 54

Total Lost: 7.2 pounds, 2 inches at the waist, 1.5 inches at the hips!  That's 3% of my body weight!  WHOOHOOOOOOOOOO!

This week gets one GREAT BIG...  Smiley Face!

Day 12

Had a pretty good day today.  I was still pretty tired today but I managed to eat well and get to the Y to swim and do the weights we didn't do last night. 

I did give in and weigh tonight.  I had much better results than last week.  I'm interested to see my "before food" weight tomorrow morning at school.  It's our second weigh in for Biggest Loser.

Hubs and I are going to my mom's for the weekend.  I'm concerned about my ability to control myself when we have meals.  I think I can make good decisions, but we are planning on seeing a movie and Movie Theatre Popcorn is MY WEAKNESS!  I love it so.  I'm going to have to do some careful calorie planning to make sure I can have pop corn because I know I won't be able to resist it!

It is sooooo cold here.  I can't seem to get warm.  My fingers and toes are always freezing.  It makes it hard to make myself go outside.  Anyway, here's to tomorrow! 

This was one very random post.  Oh well.  See you tomorrow!

Day 8

And the Magic 8 Ball says....

Weight: 244.2 pounds
Waist in inches: 44.5
Hips (were I wear my pants) in inches: 50.5


Not the loss I was looking for, but a loss none-the-less.  From and from where I was on Friday, I'm down 5.8 pounds!

We'll put this one in the win column for today and I'm going to keep on chugging along and working my tail off!  Literally.

I just need to focus on eating well and keep exercising.  I'm blaming my small loss to all the weights I've been working this week and say that I'm just gaining muscle.  First week down, and I'm ready to tackle next week!

Today gets a happy face!
