Day Eight

Monday Weigh-In = 216.8

I'm down 5.8 pounds, with an overall loss of 2.61% of my total body weight. That puts me in the lead.

Saturday night we went out for dinner so I didn't even try to calcuate what I may or may not have consumed in calories. Sunday, was a day of rest from my counting and full of the pleasures of hot wings, mini-weiners, Italian Beef poorboys, potato salad, cocktail shrimp and all of the other non-diet things you consume while watching the Bears advance in the playoffs.

Biggest Loser Work Challenge

This site has cobwebs on it these days, but work decided to begin a Biggest Loser Contest that will span the next six weeks so I've decided to revive it. When I write down everything I consume it seems to help me, this weird sense of accountability or something.

So, my journey last year ended with the awesome weight of 191 pounds. I felt great and looked pretty good. I've noticed lately however that my pants were getting tighter and tighter and have just felt rather unattractive and heavy lately. Now I see why; I weighed in this morning at a staggering 222.6 pounds. WOW!

I did my measuring, weighing and paperwork at Curves tonight. I bid on a certificate and two month membership at a breast cancer benefit I attended this summer and won it for a mere $35 ($152 value). I was a member at Curves pre-SugarLips and enjoyed it but have never had a scheduled that allowed it since. Now that the girls are older and my work scheduled has changed I have no more excuse not to give myself 30 minutes of exercise a day. I figure I'll give it the two months and see how it goes before I commit to anything long term.

At curves tonight, I weighed 211 pounds. This is 19 pounds heavier than my lowest point in the last year, but still 26 lower than my highest point so I'm not giving myself too hard of a time.

50 Days to Go

Bought one dress yesterday...if I don't reach my goal I will be forced to purchase one of those horribly hot and uncomfortable sucker-inner scuba outfits to wear under it. If that doesn't motivate me, nothing will.

I was planning on skipping dinner, due to the fries at lunch, but the meatloaf I made looked Rokken with Dokken so I ate some.
