See you later 230's!!!

Woot! I went into today's weigh in expecting to be up on the scale.

You see I have been sick for the last 4 days and not following my meal plan 100%.

And I missed zumba last week, and haven't done any exercise.

Plus my comfort when I am sick is warmed ice tea mix with lemon juice. It's kinda like

a neo citron, but with out the medication. And it is full of sugar.

So I really didn't think I had any chance of losing this week.

I am pleased to say that some how I am down 1.7! YAY me!

So what that means is bye bye 230s!!!!! I am really excited about this! That means 30 lbs lost in 3 months. This is a big celebration for me.

I am starting a new round of the biggest loser challenge. It is a 12 week challenge, and my goal is to lose 30 lbs in the 12 weeks. That is 2.5 a week. I know this is a lofty goal, but I feel pretty confident that I can do it.

Here's to another great week!

Cheers

Disappointed?

Last week was a big week! It was Easter weekend. Yikes!!

Lucky for me, I am not a huge chocolate fan. Yeah that's right...I said it!

But I was planning on having a family dinner, and partaking of the "normal" food.

Thursday I attended my regular weekly rumba class.

Sunday, my family started Geo Caching. If you are not familiar with Geo Caching, I highly recommend checking it out. So fun! You can find information at www.geocaching.com

You can also follow my families adventures and partake in this new fun adventure. OUr family blog is here

Sunday night was easter dinner. I was proud of the decisions I made. I treated myself to a carrot cake muffin with cream cheese icing. I was smart on the portion size. and I didn't go back for seconds. I was satisfied and happy to share a special meal with my family.

Monday we decided to go out geo caching again. We were gone for 3.5 hours and hiked approximately 10km. Boy was a sore last night!

I had a feeling going into this mornings weigh in that I was not going to be happy with the #. I was really striving to see the 220s. And though, my muscle were hurting, and that means water retention. But I was hopeful.

Sure enough, when weighing in, I didn't get below 230 :(. I was visibly upset, but my consultant reminded me that more than a 2 lbs loss on easter weekend would be next to impossible.

So I will take it. And work towards hitting the 220s next week.

I will be starting a new round of Biggest loser challenge next week too. The last challenge ended a week or so ago and I placed 5th. Not where I wanted to be. But I will take it. Aiming to win it this time around! My goal is to lose 30 lbs during the 12 week challenge.

Here is my before picture for the challenge - note: no makeup or shower before this pic. I cannot believe I am posting it here. I must really be committed to change!

Have a great week all!
