Thought for the day (or week or month)

Do you talk too much? Think about it.

3 down....12 to go.

Week 4 has officially begun in our Biggest Loser contest. We had our first drop-out this week, so we're down to 24 contestants. I'm very proud of my colleagues for making this kind of commitment to better health (the potential for prizes doesn't hurt either).

The one thing I'm most pleased about with this competition is how it seems to have raised morale around the building. People are talking to each other more (mind you, it's usually about the funny thing that happened in Zumba class or the weird concoction they had for dinner last night). Nonetheless, it's bringing us closer together.

C.S., who is in the competition, had the nerve to bring in a cake today that she baked on the weekend. Unfair tactics or smart games(wo)manship? It's not chocolate, so I have no problem resisting.

All right, down to the nitty gritty. I lost 3.2 pounds this past week and I earned it. I worked out 6 days out of 7. Nothing crazy, my usual 30 - 40 when at home and a little longer when I go to the gym.

I feel good. I can already see the difference in my face and my clothes are fitting a little better. My "loose" jeans are loose again.

All together, I have lost 11 pounds (14 more to go to reach my ultimate goal). I'm pretty sure I'll make the top ten losers this week again. (10th the first week, second last week).

Starting weight: 164.8 lbs.
After week 1: 160.8 lbs.
After week 2: 157 lbs.
After week 3: 153.8 lbs.

Goal for this week: 1.5 lbs.

Wish me luck!

P.S. My bro got Wii fit and made me try it. My physical age is 34! Put some icing on that and eat it! ; )

P.S. 2 - I'm this week's biggest loser!!! Woohoo!!!

*sigh*
Point 8.
I'm UP point frickin' 8.
All my fault. I'm lucky I'm not up 8 full pounds.
But, dammit.
This whole "facing the consequences of my actions" thing...
it stings.
Another week...another weigh in.

Steady as she goes...

Congrats to you, "Mrs. I Lost Eleven pounds".
