this week I did not get on the scale because I needed a break from the pressure of losing weight that came with the competition. I still worked out, didn't eat so great but time to kick it back in gear tomorrow.
My goal this week: workout BEFORE the kids get up. I hate how it takes up my morning when I wait until I've taken the girls to school. I think I will also eat better throughout the day if I workout first thing in the morning. maybe the scale will be my friend because of it!
Have a good week!

week 15 and end of BL challenge
Not quite the blaze of glory I was planning on but I still lost and I came close to my goal. And I saw new lower numbers this week which always feels good.
weight: 186.5.....-1.5
my total weight loss percentage for the challenge was 4.6% which doesn't place me in the top 3.
measurements:
Rarm....................12 same
Larm....................12 -0.5
bust.....................40.5 -0.5
belly button.........36.25 -0.75
baby bulge..........37.75 -1.75 oh yeah!
waist...................39 same
hips....................42.75 -0.25
Rleg...................21.25 same
Lleg...................21.75 +0.5
I've decided that when I get to 180, I will post pictures. It will be nice to not have the stress of the biggest loser challenge so for the next couple weeks, it's just me and my blog viewers. I would like to pick it up the next 12 weeks and I know I will because of a new program I'm starting, but it's cool to think that by swimming in public time of year, I will be comfortable in a suit. But I'm far more comfortable chubby in a suit that most woman ;) so that doesn't mean I'm going to be ripped and at 8% body fat.
We had a few days of cold and snow and it was depressing and unmotivated. But it's warming back up and the costco cake is gone, thanks to the neighbor kids. So this should be another successful week.

posting on monday?
As you can tell, I really don't want to post this week. I actually wanted to do measurements but my kids got a hold of my measuring tape and I didn't have the time to look for it. Bad week, bad bad bad week. I only lost 0.3 pounds which puts me at
188
Can't complain at a loss but the Friday we left for CA, I was 187.7. This is the last week of the current weight loss challenge I am doing and my goal is to have lost 10 pounds. I have a hard time NOT accomplishing a goal when I set one. Therefore, I am cutting WAY down on carbs this week. Kind of doing South Beach diet. I'm not a fan at all of diets that require you to cut out certain foods and you lose a lot of weight fast but this is for purposes of achieving my goal. I won't be disappointed if I quickly gain some of it back but I'm going down in a blaze of glory. This is the only way I know how to lose 2.5 pounds in one week and keep my milk :)
I'm still training for the triathlon and am still nervous for it. I find they are easier to go and do when it is more spontaneous. Now that i've had a few months to prepare and think about it, I'm getting nervous.
I need new running shoes but getting my husband to agree on that purchase is a difficult one. It's hard to argue your case with someone who knows nothing about running. He thinks you need new running shoes when they have holes in the toes. If I could afford it, I would buy new shoes every six months. The ones I have now, I have had for at least 2 years. Yeah, time for new ones, I have a knee that is starting to bug me.

week 13
I'm being lazy today so I'm going by my weight yesterday. I'm suppose to be watching my brother's baby today. He was suppose to come over at 8:30 am and it's now 9:10 and he's still not here. So, I could've gone jogging and brought my weight down for this week's weigh in. Oh well.
last week: 187.8
this week: 188.3
I'm wanting to get a workout in later today. we'll see.
The weight loss challenge I'm doing end in 2 weeks and my goal for finishing it off is to have lost 10 lbs. I started it at 195.5, so I need to get down to 185.5. Today I have 2.8 pounds to go, totally doable. It was a 12 week challenge and I remember at the beginning thinking, "if I lose 2 pound a week I would weigh 171.5!". But looking back, had I worked hard enough to be losing 2 pounds a week, I would've gotten burned out. It would have required me to be counting calories or points and in the past I"ve figured out that using methods like that for weight loss don't work for me. I have to be able to feel like I'm just living but making healthy eating decisions and exercising because I love to. And that is why I will have lost 10 pounds instead of 24. But hey, you won't see me complaining! And hopefully I'll make some cash by at least getting 3rd :)
This week I am making a goal to eat 5 servings of fruits and veggies again. Mostly veggies. I've been slacking on that the last couple of weeks and need to add them back into my diet.
Thanks for all your support, it really is helpful to know your checking the blog so I know that someone is keeping track of me.
