I have really felt so terrible this past week.... I'm in such a slump. Mark seems to be feeling the same way too. We're getting back to the gym this weekend and we just went food shopping last night, and threw out all the bad stuff (well... most of it anyway).
Ate- I'm so glad you're joining us :-) It will help a lot to have support.
Now... if I could only get this website to load up on my phone... I think I'd stay more up to date....

I love you Annie!
Welcome aboard, and thanks for sharing that video. What a great tool! I've got to figure out how I can take a video from my camera and upload it to the blog. Maybe it'll be me hula-hooping lol!!!
Friday it is.

I'm IN! Friday it is!
Maybe this vlog of me will distract you from the shock of how much I weigh. I was really embarassed to do this the first go round, but collected some courage, and here I am! :)
Round 2
I'm in for round 2. I think weigh in should be this Friday to stay consistent with our current progress. I think that's fair for everyone.
Friday - March 6 - Weigh In Day
Friday May 1 would be final weigh in. That's eight weeks for weight loss.

collecting my winnings! heh heh heh
I would prefer a giftcard, to make sure I buy myself incentive as opposed to pay bills, but I don't see how that can happen with everyone scattered to the North & South. Unless everyone got me an individual gift card but that would be a pain in the butt for you all. So I suppose send the mulah to my apartment.

I went to the doctor's this morning. Their scale said 168.8 boo! MY scale still read 165 this morning. The Doc said to go by MY scale because she thinks theirs is "heavy". She said based on her numbers I'm only very slightly overweight with a BMI of 25.5 and I shouldn't worry about it too much because I am so active, what with the running and hula hooping and all.... easy for her to say. I left the office and promptly went for a run! Another 7.2 today, it was beautiful to run in the sunny woods with all the snow.
I know the Doc is right, but I just can't get past my shadow on the ground. I know I'm making progress. These past 8 weeks with you guys has been great and I love the support we give each other. I've lost 6 inches around my waist (39 is now a 33) and 3 around my hips (45 is now 42) It's nice to see my waist again. At least I'm losing weight in the right place.
Eating today - breakfast: slimfast bar, coffee. pre run snack: slimfast protein bar. lunch: salad, 3 wasa w/ lf cheese. Dinner might be a challenge a friend is in from NY and wants to go out. I will choose wisely of a light meal.
Let's start again with a weigh in on Friday March 13?

round 2
Hi guys,
I'm totally down for round 2. I could use some support. This 2 week slump seems to have brought me back to my starting weight. I feel so sick- stuffed up- and lacking so much energy.
TL- do you want $$ or a gift card? CONGRATS! i'm so super proud of you. or maybe i could just send you a box of truffles to get me ahead in the rematch ;-P
When do you want to start?

not so bad overall
According to MY scale I am still maintaining 165. I'm going to the doctor's today for my general check up and am nervous about what THEIR scale says. But it will be an opportunity to have a frank discussion with a doctor about my weight. I've never done that before and it will either confirm or put aside my fears that I am very overweight.
yesterday:
b - slimfast bar, coffee (lots of coffee at home yesterday!)
l - healthy choice panini sandwich, tea
s- handful almonds, tea
run - 7.2 miles (love the snow!)
s- tea
d- cheese burger w/ lettuce tomato, 1 Scarlett Lady beer, side salad instead of fries
(no I don't feel guilty, my body was craving red meat protein and I listened)
s- tea, hand full almonds, celery w/ lf cheese
okay, I should have skipped the last snack and owe it to snacking while reading. That has to stop. And I might have an almond addiction....

Tuesday
Good luck TL - I hear you - sometimes too much free time leads to bad decisions. I know you can do it!
Worked til 815 last night, changed and went to the gym and did 3 miles. I had yogurt, apple and peanut butter for dinner around 530. I'm trying the fast again today. Hopefully I can make it longer than last week.
I got up early and did 1.5 miles and then weights. I'm going to be exhausted later on I think.
I hope everyone has a great day!

off schedule
Flower show is havoc on my schedule. Or maybe that is just an excuse. Yesterday:
b - slimfast bar, banana, coffee
s- slm fast snack bar
l - tomato mozarella salad, slmfast shake, water
s- apple, water
d - (10 pm!) salad, three wasa w/ thin sliced turkey breast, two celery stalks w/ lf cheese
I have today and tomorrow off. I need to pry myself away from the computer and go for a run! the problem with having off in the middle of the week is there is no one around. the benefit of having off in the middle of the week is that there is no one around.
