WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE - 7 Weeks-10#'s

[Veronica]

This is going to be the week from hell for me. Otherwise known as three stupid 90 minute meetings after work Tues., Wed. and Thurs. Did I mention I really hate meetings? Did I mention I'm really beginning to dislike my job? My class is nice, a little chatty... but I'm sick to death of all the testing we're doing and analyzing of the testing and analyzing of the analyzing... I just want to friggin' teach darnit.

Anyway... back on track here. Boring meetings make me want to eat. And of course to try to make all the depressed staff happy, my boss loads up our work tables with candy.

So, while I'd like to lose a few pounds. I'd really like to just make it through this week without eating too much junk.

Small, simple, attainable goals.

Testing, shmesting. I hate it too, but you guys to do even more of it. And the analyzing? Don't get me started. I try to take bags of safe snacks to the endless meetings so I don't eat the crap. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. 3-5 pm is a tough time for me.

Can I be in and not post my stats? Honestly, they're too embarrassing I would, of course, promise to write them down in *ink* in a notebook, and honestly report the losses

This is, however, a great idea! Since the time changed, there's way too much temptation to curl up on the sofa when I get home and it's dark rather than going for a walk or a ride...Plus all of the holiday candy is just starting to arrive in our office. All of our Admin Assistant stands currently have little piles of candy on them that I have to walk past to and from the bathroom - and the kitchen to get water - and the hot water machine. *sign* Temptation is everywhere

You surely don't have to post your stats to do this, there is no way that I want to embarrass anyone. Stay away from that candy today at work and welcome to the challenge!

No need to post stats, but you know...being brutally honest helps.

I'm having trouble with the time change, too. I went to bed at 7:30 last night! Of course, I awake around 5:30 every morning anyway (and I don't even have to because I don't have a job). I slept all the way through until 5:00 this morning.

OTOH, I was happy that it was daylight when I came out of my fitness class yesterday morning at 7:00 a.m.

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

Today's victory - I did a Spinervals tape this morning - Ultra Full Body. My knee isn't ready for any big chain ring work, so I stayed in the middle and 15 for all the tempo work. Spinning at 110 gets your heart rate up, lemme tell ya! I also fast forwarded through the lunges. My knee is better, but I'm not going to push it too hard yet.
