98 days left!

Since it is less than a 100 days until the 1/2, I decided that I would count backwards. I know that it has been 10 days since I last wrote. I have no excuses. There has been major drama in our Biggest Loser contest. One girl has lost 39 lbs as of February 1st. That is over 14% of her body weight. It has been frustrating to say the least because the next closest person has only lost 7% and then everyone else is comparable to that. When asked what she is doing, she has only replied, "I will tell you after the contest." But last Monday Missy asked her if she was doing HCG and she said, "yes." They didn't ever specify in the rules that they couldn't take it, but it just doesn't seem fair to those that are working their butts off to not even have a chance at the grand prize. So the owner has consulted with her lawyer and they have told the owner that she could refund her money. When told that the girl said, "I never told you I was on HCG. You asked me and I said no." What???? What kind of integrity is that? It has been crazy. Anyway, enough about that. I was very happy today that I had lost 3 lbs. I have been sick and not exercising this week due to some major dizziness that I have been having. I am feeling somewhat better today and hope that next week, I can get back on track.

Day 27 of 135

I had a great workout yesterday! I am SO sore. My abs hurt if I laugh or cough. I'm going back to it tomorrow. I just need to get my running going! That's the crazy part. You'd think I could do that. I have been eating really good so hopefully we will see something on Saturday.

Day 25 of 135

Well, my plans didn't go as planned this morning. Long story....can't explain on a public forum. I did play dodgeball for a half hour and I played hard. Then we went bowling. I want to get on the treadmill, but I have to be up at 4:45 for my weightlifting class. So I am going to choose to sleep. I am exhausted and I haven't even had Parent Teacher conferences yet which are on Wednesday and Thursday. Hopefully I can make it. I have done really well on my eating today and yesterday so I'm hoping that will show up on Saturday! Thanks to all who are following this. I really appreciate the support.

Day 24 of 135 - I know! I know!

Well as you can tell by my posting that I probably didn't have a good week. Well, you are right. I ended up losing a pound but that is according to my scale. I didn't even attempt to go and weigh in, partially because of the roads and the other reason was because I had such a bad week. So I have a new resolve....I am going to have an excellent week which so far I have had. I am going to do my running and be faithful with just that. If I can fit in anything else in then I will. My goal for the week will be one hour of cardio a day...so tomorrow, I am up at 5:45 to run. I'll check in tomorrow!

Day 20 of 135

Well, I worked out, woo woo! I did an hour on the treadmill. I walked most of it with some spurts of running. I didn't follow my c25k very well and I am sure it will show on Day 2 when I am supposed to run 8 minutes. I hope I can do it!

Day 19 of 135

Well folks, I'm here to confess....I am a slacker. I have been rebellious since my 2 pound loss and going at the rate I am, will end up GAINING that 2 pounds back! I have 3, count them 3 days to get my act together so that I can lose instead of gain at the next weigh in. I have to admit that I have been feeling depressed since I was expecting a bigger loss last week and to top it all off, Andrea (of the Biggest Loser show) lost 7 pounds so now we are tied. I don't know what I'm gonna have to do to lose at least 3 more for this week. Maybe I will stop eating and fast for 3 days. I don't know. Tomorrow is a new day and I am going to be on that treadmill no later than 6:15 tomorrow morning. If I don't then you are all invited to come to my house and form a line to give a swat to my boo-tay. Night!
