Watch Your Mouth

I’ve been a bit relaxed this weekend after my final weigh in for my challenge. But if I want to continue this life style I’ll have to be diligent and keep up with my weight loss and getting fit efforts. So I’m going to use this blog to document, feelings, work outs, food eaten and other things that help or sabotage my journey to my ultimate goal.

Work-out = 30 minutes, interval hills, elipical

Breakfast=

Yogurt, blueberries, walnuts

scramble eggs and a bit of hash

Lunch=

left over scallops with brocoli and carrots. Left-overs, Lots of butter I imagine.

They are gone now, so I’m in the clear.
I think it’s soup and veggies for dinner! I need to work off this weekend. and not screw up my first goal reached.

I want to train for this event for the summer.

note to self: Don’t challenge a goal driven, competitive, salesMAN, unless you are prepared to lose. But honestly, I’m glad I did. Even though I’m not competitive, I was inspired by Brian’s weight loss and it just made me more diligent in my efforts. I knew I was in trouble when he loss 10 pounds in the first week! And I was a bit concerned, almost gave up, when I didn’t lose anything for 3 weeks after the first 10. But instead, I became more diligent. I joined a health club and made time for my work outs, which I believe made all the difference. I have a long way to go, before I make my ultimate goal. But this little “win” feels good. I can do this.

I loss 21 pounds in 8 weeks. So I kinda feel like the winner. Well, of course, sans the prize money. Congratulations, Brian. Can’t believe you loss 33 pounds. Crazy cool!
Thanks for the challenge.

I notoriusly keep food in the fridge past it’s prime. And when in doubt I call Mom.

me: “Mom, how long can you keep such and such before it goes bad?

Mom: “I don’t know, smell it, does it smell bad”

This is just about the same conversation we have each time. And I’m just thinking there is probably a thin line between edible and totally rancid. But, hey, I’m the one who picked up the phone.
