Started off the day disappointed but using it as motivation!

Well, I started out the week excited and pumped up about winning the biggest loser contest here at work. I've steadily lost between 1 to 2 pounds each week...below is a copy of the excel spread sheet from work, my weigh-ins are the 2nd column and the winner's weigh-ins are in the 7th column..

At home, first thing in the morning I'm currently 264.6 but the weights above are what we weigh when we weigh in together at work around 8:00 am each day after breakfast and fully clothed. I lost 8.6 pounds this month and 3.11% but my awesome opponent lost 7 pounds and 3.62%. I'm also an emotional wreck because on weigh in day not only did I not lose any weight but I also got my period. Thanks mother nature, great timing! If you notice my buddy that kicked my butt's column she dropped 7 pounds in 4 days. All because she quit drinking diet cokes, literally she went from drinking 15 cans of diet coke a day to none and dropped that much in 4 days. She's my buddy and I am very happy for her! Not only for losing the 7 pounds but also for giving up diet cokes which is something she's been addicted to for YEARS! I am so proud of her! I wouldn't be feeling so sorry for myself if it weren't this time of the month. I still lost 8.6 pounds this month and that's awesome!!
                                                   








Let's discuss my workouts since last Friday...

Friday:  16:08 minutes, 454 calories

Saturday: none

Sunday: 2.5 miles around the neighborhood with the family.

Monday: 17:02 minutes, 479 calories

Tuesday: 17:35 minutes, 495 calories

Wednesday: 18:06 minutes, 510 calories

Thursday: none (I was late for work by an hour and a half so I didn't get a lunch break)

Friday: Goal is 18:30 minutes


As far as eating goes:

I had a breakfast shake, an apple, a lunch shake, a banana as a snack before dinner and then we either ate turkey or chicken with veggies.

I've been drinking 160 ounces of water a day, on average.



Next weeks goals:

Continue my eating habits, working out at least 5 days and get over 19 minutes on the stairs at work.

I hope everyone has a happy Easter!!

    Well this month you may have just barely missed it, but next month it is ALL YOU! You will win that contest!!! Keep it up, keep it moving. I'm so glad we are all in this together!! I'm loving that excel spreadsheet that you're using at work...is it automatically set to calculate or do you calculate it yourself? I should really do something like that...
