Sixth Weigh-in

2/24/06 Sixth Weigh-in

1st Place- Stacy/lost 2lbs. this week/18.2 lbs total/5.43% lost!

2nd Place- Erik/lost 1.8lbs this week/15.2lbs total/4.63% lost!

3rd Place- Melanie/lost 1.3lbs this week/8.9lbs total/3.39% lost!

4th Place- Karen/+5.8lbs this week/1.8lbs total/.63% lost!

Personally, this was a tough week for me. Even though I did my exercises, I dreaded them. That's normally not the case because I've been enjoying my exercises here lately. I think it has to do with the weather. It's been way too cold to take Gavin out walking so I've just been stuck doing video tapes this week. In the past, this is probably when I would have given up my exercise routine. I would have stopped exercising..and then felt so guilty about it that I would endulge in all the fattiest foods I could find. But I'm not going to do that this time. Even though it was a tough week, I was able to lose 2lbs. So my body knows that something different is going on...and I'm actually feeling stronger and having a lot more energy. In other words, we're all going to have those times where we're wanting to give up...where we think what's the use. But you will get over it..you WILL get over it. I give big props to everyone who's losing weight and adapting a healthier lifestyle. And for those you are just starting out, or have just given up...you CAN do this...DON'T GIVE UP!!!

Nothin' much to report.

I'm having a blah day today. I don't know if it's the weather or what..but I just can't get into a good mood. I hate days like these. On a plus note I'm excited because I'm still losing weight. I'll post the update on Friday. Other than that I don't have much to say...(you probably can tell by my babbling.) I hope that everyone is having a good week at least. Everyone say a little prayer that Dina and Katy have a safe trip to Florida. Ok, bye!

p.s. If you haven't checked out Alanis Morrissette's Jagged Little Pill acoustic version...it's AWESOME. Erik got it for me for Valentine's day and I can't quit listening to it...brings back some major high school memories.

Happy Valentine's Day Everybody!

I hope everyone is having a good Valentine's Day so far. Mine has started out great. Erik and I gave Gavin some toys this morning and he's spent the whole morning pushing his lawn mower everywhere he went. Unfortunately Erik will not be getting off work early today :( So we'll be spending Valentine's Day at 10:30p.m. tonite. I guess I'm just being selfish because I want to spend this day with him...but I know that he's out there earning much needed money..so I will try to get over this rather quickly. In other news, if any one is wondering why I haven't posted the fifth weigh-in results here is the reason why. My mom, Melanie, Karen and I decided that we need to do weigh-ins on Friday morning from now on. I know this sounds bad....but the weekends are the worse for us..and we just can't bring ourselves to weigh-in on Monday mornings anymore.

Anyways, Karen is having to go to court and see Jason on Thursday for child support and visitation. She's EXTREMLY nervous about it..so everyone say a little prayer that everything goes the way she needs it to go.

Also, cross your fingers for Teresa...she's wanting to buy her first new home and she's hoping that everything goes through well. Good Luck Teresa!

Read here on Friday for the Biggest Loser results!!!

The First Month Is Finally Over!!

Hey everybody. The first month of our Biggest Loser contest is over! Woo hoo! And guess who's in the lead! Me! I'm not meaning to gloat or anything..but I've kicked some ass this month! Ok, but on a serious note though....it's been tough. Actually I think it has gotten easier now...but the first two weeks were excruciating. I can see that now it's starting to form into more of a life-style change..and I'm starting to really feel the results. I've been mixing up work-outs so that I won't get bored. I do The Biggest Loser DVD, a stair stepping DVD, or I go to the walking trails with Gavin in the stroller and walk a mile. The key to my success is that I don't deprive myself of anything. If I want something I'll eat it..but if it's possible to find a healthier version...I'll pick that one over the fatty version. I also have been watching my portion sizes and I haven't been getting up for seconds either. All in all I feel great! I owe it all to my great support team, the members of this contest and my friends. I love you guys!
