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 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!

 

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!

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!

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!

WOOHOO!

Ok, so I cheated and weighed when I got up this morning!  I'm down another .8 pounds from yesterday!  That combined with yesterday's great food day have me motivated to shake it for tomorrow's weigh in!  220's, I'm coming for ya!

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!

My PANTS!

On Christmas Eve I got up and put on a pair of jeans.  They were uncomfortably tight.  I wore them until my other jeans were dry and then shed them and haven't touched them since.

Last night I grabbed those jeans (a Lane Bryant size 20) and put them on to see if I could wear them today at school without being too uncomfortable and what do you know?  THEY FIT!  PERFECTLY!

I'm excited to be getting back into clothes I bought last time I lost some weight.  At one point last spring I was able to wear a Target size 20.  I still have those pants, and some others like them, and I am ready to let them get loose too!  YAY for progress I can see!

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 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!
