Wait what!? That is correct. This year I have decided to join about 40 or so of my co-workers in a friendly 'biggest loser' competition in my office. I have been wanting to shed some of my stored flubber (yes like a whale) for about 2 years now and the fact that I call it my winter weight all year long I think is getting a little old...just saying. So I bit the bullet, turned in my $25 entry fee and cut out reagular soda. If any of you know me you know that I cannot stand to drink diet soda. I know the sugary brown stuff is bad for my bones, my skin, my teeth, blah blah blah I L.O.V.E it, so giving it up is a huge feat for me. The first two three weeks of this competition went fairly well. I even won one week for losing the largest percentage of body fat, what what! So now we are almost half way through our 12 week journey and I
had been consistently losing weight..until this fateful week. Whoops!! I jumped on the scale knowing the numbers weren't going to look pretty and sure enough NO GOOD!! I'm talking like almost back to where I started, not quite there but darn close enough, bummer!! I know now that I need to start exercising more (that whole look like a cheetah while running thing kind of fizzled), and need to start watching what I eat more closely. Unfortunately, this means I cannot make the cab stop at McDonald's on the way home from the bars at 2:30 in the morning and I must resist the concession stand at the movies, my two weaknesses. So here is to a new week of losing the winter weight and changing my habits! Have a great weekend everyone! I promise to show pictures of my finally complete bedroom. Oh and of course, Kaneil if you're reading this have a wonderful time at your engagement party and sooo sad I can't make it!! HAPPY FRIDAY everyone!
OMG....complete de ja vu reading this post. Don't you remember me crying in your office last year after weighing in for TBL???? Don't you worry lil missy - I'm panicking here, too. Wedding Shape Up is NOT going well...
ReplyDeleteMy trick for the movies is to pop a 100 cal bag of popcorn and put it in my purse, along with a good granola bar, sugar free candy, and/or diet soda. That way, you can snack with everyone else and save about 1000 calories. Let me know if you try this out! Miss you tons...have fun being a momma this weekend!!!
