…an itty bitty 1.6 lb loss (week 42) (I know, it's not really itty bitty…but that’s a 2 week total) .... great for me, yes, but it doesn't get me ahead of the game in the New Year’s Challenge!! :o) I'm going to have to kick some major butt if I am going to get these last 10.7 lbs off in 6 weeks....a HUGE stretch!!
(PLUS, I know, as well as anybody, that the scale is NOT my friend… there could be a number of reasons why I didn’t have a larger loss…. the next few weeks will tell….who made this Challenge based on those darned numbers anyways??? LOL!!)
This isn’t a big deal… on any other day, it wouldn’t even be a thought that I’m not doing well enough… 1.6 lbs is great… it’s a great step in the right direction… but I would give ANYTHING to be in ONDERLAND by New Years 2004! That would be AWESOME!! But… I KNEW it was going to be a stretch when I started this challenge… I was up for the challenge & knew that even if I didn’t reach that goal, I would be THAT MUCH CLOSER because of the challenge!! I’m going to get through the holidays a winner…THAT is the intention of this whole challenge, right?? The great thing, too, is that I am really determined to try to figure out how to kick this up a notch… (BAM!) see if I can reach this goal in time!
Plus, the fact that I’m almost neck & neck w/ Maryellen (medowney) makes this challenge that much more fun!! We started out OP almost at the same weight, I think we were right together when the challenge started & we tend to pass eachother by ounces at each WI! LOL!! PLUS, we’re the same age… and I think our brains use the same wavelength, don’t you, Maryellen… since we posted separate posts to eachother yesterday w/in seconds of eachother!! LOL!! Scary!! :o)
I gotta figure out what to do to kick it up a bit... I mean, I'm walking AT LEAST a full hour every other day, if not daily... but I obviously need to add in some aerobic stuff... time to pull out my Richard Simmons "Sweating to the Oldies" tape! LOL!! I’m also going to pull out my Tae Bo tapes… I think I might be up to them now… I think I’m in a little better shape than I was the last time I tried them (like 2 years ago!! LOL!)!
Fats, too... I've been told to get in some added fat each day... like 3 points extra... don't know if that is oil or butter type fat, or like avocado & nuts type fat. Hmmmmmm....
&... to eat or not to eat more flexpoints... that is the question!?? I mean, I’ve been trying to end my weeks w/ at least half of my flexpoints left. But, my all-knowing leader has said that they’ve seen better losses in those that actually eat all of their flexpoints than in those that try to avoid them. (also the added fat and getting my dairy from milk is supposed to be key, too!) I don’t know. I guess I’m just going to play around a bit & see if I notice anything different. I’m going to make today a high day, like the Wendi Plan, since yesterday was so low (22 pts)
Anyways…I’m just talking to myself….talking this thing through. All in all… I’m still thrilled how things are progressing! I mean, holy crap…I’ve lost almost 55 lbs since January!!! Okay… so I may not be in Onderland by January 1st… but I WILL BE in Onderland by mid-January…right? What’s a few weeks? (something like 14 days, right? LOL!!)
Oh yeah…. 42 weeks OP… I FINALLY filled my 26 week WW weigh-in book!! LOL!! I also got a BRAVO star sticker @ my meeting because I realized that I had reached my 2nd 10% at my LAST WI, when I passed 214!
