New Weight Loss Challenge

[Starfish]

How about I switch all your pants to one size smaller? That outta do it

Zen, I'm glad you're as far away as you are...you scare me!

I am up this morning: 163

Starfish - don't give up. Sometimes just keeping this 'goal' in your mind (even if it's not at the front) is enough to keep the weight creep from happening. I know exactly how you feel, though...and all my pants ARE too tight!


Weight today: 165.6...Up 0.6 from 2 weeks ago. Considering that the previous weight was a guess and considering what I ate and how much I sat on my butt last week, I'm actually kind of pleased with this. It could have been SO much worse. I've been eating much better this past week since we've been in OR, but I'm still eating 100% of my meals either out, or they are prepared meals eaten at home off paper plates. I finally got the kitchen 85% unpacked last night, so with a weekend run to the grocery store, things should improve this week! Plus, once I get this place put together, I'll have some time to workout, too.

whoa, i'm at 142.8 - up a bunch. i think i will blame DH as he had a nasty cold and gave it to me. i havent ridden in 9 days and i have a metric century tomorrow (tour de cure) with my head still stuffed up and my throat still sore. oh well.

Up 3 pounds . . . time for a new kick-a** plan! Will be curious to see if it works next go-around.

HOLDING at 172.4. Actually, that MAY be down slightly, but it's close to the same! OK, especially since I finished off those darned girl scout cookies, AND ate an entire pint of Mango Gelato last night. What was I thinking? I know... MMMM, MMM, GOOD!
This is a new week, and I have NEW motivation!

KJAY: What is your "kick A$*@ Plan"? Enlighten us!

LOL Jes . . . I'm still formulating it so am reluctant to share a half-baked plan, but so far it involves a one- or two-day watermelon fast, planning in advance what I will eat on a daily basis instead of recording at the end of the day what I ate; my exercise plan is still in the works but will probably include a plan to bike/spin at least one hour daily or 2 hours every other day, plus two days of weight lifting, plus my standard one-day-a-week 8-hour day working with 15 camels (my passion). Okay, now I'm out of breath.

By asking about my plan, you've REALLY motivated me now. Thanks!

[jesvetmed]

Working with camels????? What do you do? That can be very challenging! I've only spent time around llamas. Even they can be challenging. Now 5x bigger would worry me! Too much spit!

You are good to get the weight lifting in. I have signed up for an oly tri, and am consumed with the time it is taking to run, bike and swim. I barely make one swim a week, and don't know when I will get in the lifting -- I miss it, and I'm sure it will help with all. Now if only I could fit it in. Maybe instead of cooking or cleaning!!!!

[Jen-Jen]

Hi all- Well the good news is I haven't gained anything! Didn't lose either. foo-wee. Maybe I won't be any good at this challenge? I'll give it a couple more weeks. Really cold and gray here. Giving the blahs!
