I made mennonite squares today.....uumm.

yeah!

I came on to post the same thing! Uh oh, we can't be slipping with our posts already! yiy! Well, anyways, I was gone all day Monday and yesterday was crazy busy. But, I did weigh on Monday, and same same here too. I was able to work out twice last week. It seems I don't get a chance to do it till evening and everyone is settled. Usually I get on the ol treadmill about 10 pm. Last night I really just wanted to crash, but I'm proud of myself, I worked out!! Hopefully this week I'll get in at least 3 workouts!  I'm not really expecting weight loss for another week or so. It usually takes my body 3 weeks of steady working out before it kicks into gear and realizes we're not trying to pack it on anymore!
See you all Monday!

What's happening?

So how did your last weigh in go everybody??? I'm so curious! I stayed the same. Considering I went out for supper 3 times last week and enjoyed cheesey Harvest House Pizza (which probably has enough fat and calories to sink a ship) I'm rather happy to have not gained. Oh, and I was very happy to not have to cook supper either. I did manage to walk 6 days last week, which is quite an accomplishment. Did you know subways 'cheap' subs are only 5 dollars? A foot long no less. Anyway, enough rambling. I hope to hear from ya'll soon.

Good News!

I had my weigh in and lost 3 lbs. with 7 to go! Now, if I could stop eating chocolate chips.....

Week 1 report

Weigh in: 12 (that means I am 2 lbs up from my start weight)

Exercise last week: 3 runs approx 30 mins each, but not terribly successful runs
some pilates moves 5 days, but not a full work out worth. But my body is getting back into the swing of things: no more blisters on my feet and my muscles aren't as sore. I can tell that it is helping with some of my energy levels already.

Eating: Auh, not so good. I have come off the treadmill starving and wanting to consume all in sight (and have consumed more than I should). I need to go off sugar soon, but I am waiting to get rid of some of the Christmas stuff first. Even as I write that though, I don't think that is such a good excuse.

Week #1 Come and Gone

Well today is Monday....my weigh in is tonight but I'm not looking forward to it! I was doing great all week but had way to many tempting desserts on the weekend. My parents even brought a box of chocolates!!! How could I refuse! It's amazing how one bad day can really effect the scale at the end of the week! That's been my experience anyways. At least I'm nursing lots (sick baby) so I shouldn't gain any weight!!!! I've been on my treadmill a couple times this week but I'd like to do it everyday for at least 30 minutes or 2 miles. I also need to get an exercise ball. I really enjoy doing sit ups and push ups with the ball. It's on my list of things to buy! Anyhow, that's life in my zoo. I wish I could make this more of a priority but it's just not realistic! My philosophy on weight loss: Eat Less, Exercise More.

Monday weigh in

   Well ladies, how did your first week of the challenge go? Mine was a bit of a flop to be honest.. I only exercised once, and didn't even get in a full workout! Ah well, tis life. We'll see what this week holds. Needless to say, my weight is still at 15.

I find that I need to both work out and watch what I eat to effectively loose weight though. This is hard!! But I'm trying to tell myself that I just need to put some effort into this right now and then it's easier to maintain weight then loose it.

Here's to trying! How did all of your weeks go?
