Biggest Loser Check In!!

Sign up for the blog roll.

 Well, It's Monday. This time of year that means that it's time to reflect on this past week, and decide how I'm going attack the week coming up. So here we go.

I can't say that I did great, but I can't say that I did horrible. The outcome of this week is a loss of 1/2 a pound. I always say, "A loss is a loss". It's a great thing! It means that you're on track, and you're still focused. But, if I think about this last week, I'm very disappointed.

I went over my daily caloric goal too many times. I enjoyed alcohol too much. I drank too much soda. I didn't drink enough water. I did not have enough self control. WOW, the stress this week too.

So, this next week I'm going to stick to my plan TO THE "T". I have 2 lbs to lose by the end of the month in order to stick to my monthly weight loss goal. I can definitely do this, but it means I have to be a good girl.

Biggest Looser W2 - HSP

Well, today is Monday and it means that it's Biggest Loser Check in.

How did I do. FANTASTIC!! I've done wonderful this week. Actually, today is the only day that I've deviated from my plan, but I'll get to that a bit later.

I stayed in my calories, I'm down about 1.5 lbs since last Monday  and I stuck with what I had planned. I had planned to start exercising today. I didn't think it would happen, but I did end up getting a short exercise episode in this afternoon. I'm pretty proud of myself.

So what's the plan this week. I'm sticking to my calories, and establishing my exercising.

But tonight, I'm drinking. It's probably not a good idea, but I'm going to have a couple of drinks anyway. WHY? Because it's been a very hard emotional day. My 5 year old little girl (Angel) was diagnosed with HSP. Have you heard of it? Well it's not too uncommon. Here's a website because I really don't want to try to describe it.

The outcome is supposed to be excellent....well, for the most part. I got the call from the labs that Angel's kidneys are effected. So what now? I don't know. We go in tomorrow for more labs, it could be absolutely nothing, but it could be worse. I'm just the kind of person who's mind automatically jumps to the "worst" option. So, here's hoping that my baby is fine.

Biggest Loser Week 1

Alright, so I'm really excited. I have joined a few women in the blogging world to be a part of this challenge. Thank you to The Java Mamma for putting this together. Here's how it works:
SO -

THE PLAN:

• Every Monday starting January 7th-March 25th come back here and link up your post for the Biggest Loser Challenge.
• If you want to post pictures or specifics about your body/weight you can.  If you don't feel comfortable doing that then just put *starting #* and after that you can put (- pounds from starting weight)
• I'm going to post a motivation picture.  We all have that ONE picture that we look back on and are like "dang I remember those days".  This coming Monday I'll post my motivation picture and you can too if you would like.
• Share your plan, goals, and recipes.
• Read other participates blogs, comment, support, be real, honest, and show love.
• On the last day of the contest I'll announce a winner!!! (Working on a finale prize- details to come soon!  I hope it's something super fabulous)

The goal here is to give you a jump start and motivate you to start a good healthy habit.

SO - I'm not really a picture posting kind of person (not yet anyway), and I'm a bit late. But hey, I just found this challenge, and I'm not letting it slip through my fingers. These kind of challenges are very supportive!! Frankly I'm just trying to food journal. I'm trying to be accountable for all the crap that passes these lips. I'm doing great too. Only one day that was over my calories and I did it knowingly. So it's short and sweet, but This is how I'm losing weight!!!
