Monday Weigh In

Well, it's not good news. Today the scale said...

That is a gain of .6 pounds since last Monday.
I guess after my self sabotaging day Saturday, I should be happy it's not more!
Of course it is impossible for me to be happy about a gain.

As you probably know, I am in Tessa's Challenge. It was 77 days long, and the challenge was to be the first to loose 24.75 pounds by May 31st. That was an average of 2.25 pounds per week, which I think was a good number. Of course I didn't do that, so here we are! It is down to the last week, and to even reach my goal I would have to loose 10.95 pounds this week... ummm... I don't think that is going to happen lol. That's like Biggest Looser Ranch numbers! BUT I am going to try my hardest to loose as much as I can this week anyway. In a healthy way of course, no starving myself or doing anything crazy :) Just eating less, maybe a little more treadmill if I can. Also trying to snack on fruit instead of junk and my beloved Hershey Nuggets :) I can't get to a 10.95 pound loss, and that's ok :) But I am going to get as close as I can!

Not the BEST day... Didn't need 2 helpings of dinner for sure.
I had the munchies and tried to make good decisions. Those chocolates got the best of me... FOUR TIMES, did I mention they are my favorite candy ever? But I am going to try my hardest this week, if I have to have one of those I will only have ONE a day. I have fruit and will be eating it!!!
I had to force down those 5 carrots with no light ranch... was worse then I thought lol. But for this week I will go with out it and see if I don't get used to it :)
Treadmill: 27 minutes/ 1.01 miles   5 minutes of it with 2 LB weights
Still having some pain in my lower left leg. It's under my calf and almost feels like a... pulling feeling? I don't know. I do know that my biggest looser walk is tomorrow, and I hope it doesn't keep me from going the full time!

  1. yeah, I'd have to lose about 17 pounds this week to win, at this point. Baby carrots might be your problem. They have a much different taste than real carrots, at least imo. Baby carrots are made from the castoffs of regular carrots. Ever try parsnips? like a spicey, strong flavored carrot. Jicama is good, too.

  2. Really? I thought they tasted like regular carrots... I don't like regular carrots without ranch either LOL. I have never tried parsnips or Jicama. I wouldn't know what to do with them. Do you eat them raw???
    I guess I buy baby carrots because I'm more likely to eat them if I don't have to wash and clean them and everything.

    It's a bummer neither one of us is going to get the $100. But it was fun anyway :) A great motivation.

  3. Parsnips you can clean and eat just like regular carrots. Jicama, you peel off the outside and slice it. I think it can be cooked, but I never have, I just eat them raw.

  4. I'll try some regular carrots when this last bag of babies is done :) That would be good if I like them more, AND I think they are cheaper too lol.
    I'll try the Jicama too. I don't know if I'll like it, but I'll try it! lol. Thanks so much for the advise!
