Beck's Challange

I have joined up with the girls for Beck's 6 week belly buster challange.

I didn't do it so much because I have a big belly, but I did it to simply challenge myself.

I seriously need some encouragement to get off my keester and get moving.

It would be very silly of me to join a challange and then not exercise wouldn't it?

Monday I did a little bit of power walking (in the city walking to my massage), but other than the squats and crunches I did to figure out how many I could do in one sitting I didn't do much else.

What a slacker I am.

So I will be reporting more regularly here about the challange because I need to see my inches to improve. Especially the thigh and arm ones.

I bought a size 10 pair of cream colored business suit pants and they fit everywhere but in the thigh. Yuck. Not a pretty sight.

I was really impressed with how big or small I should say my waist is. I can't remember ever seeing a number lower than 30 something.

I was also impressed with my hip measurement although beck didn't ask for it.

I didnt keep my measurements from the beginning but boy do I wish I had.

So here are my measurements as of Monday:
Neck: 13in
U/Arm: 12in
Bust: 34in
Waist: 29in
Tummy: 31in
Hips: 36in (not that long ago that # was 45+)
Thigh: 22in
Calf: 15in
Ankle: 9in

Did you mean 12 in for your upper arm? 'cause 22 sounds pretty big for the size of the rest of you ... :)

All it takes is determination

I got my butt up this morning and did a 20-minute walk/jog, and it was still DARK outside. You proud of me?? Sure you are! I didn't do so well with my eating on the weekend, but this is not going to stand in my way. I know that in order to push through and lose more than what I've been averaging since Christmas (500-800 grams a week) I have got to stick to the Wendie Plan for the rest of this week and to my new lower points intake of 18 a day as well as exercise . I said the dreaded word, but it is true. I can do this. I have decided that there will be no excuses. I will apply to be this year's WW Slimmer of The Year. I can't let anything stand in my way. Thanks to all of you for getting behind me with this. Your support is so crucial because I am feeling high and on top of the world right now, but I know there will be days that I will feel like giving up the fight when I will start thinking it is just to hard and I know I will be going back and reading all your w...

Weigh-in March 5th

I weighed in at 68.1, and was amazed to discover that I lost 800 grams this week. I've only got just over 5 kilos left to lose before I reach my goal. Like WOW. I mean wow. I am pinching myself. Can you believe this? A weight loss 2 weeks in a row?!?! I mean jeez, imagine what I could do if I got my butt up off the couch and started exercising. I think I owe it all to the Wendie Plan, which by the way I told all my fellow weight watcher' members about today. I tried to tell them anyway, but I couldn't say a whole lot because our leader likes to hog all the air time. It is weird. I've never felt so shut down in a place where we should all be sharing our ideas with each other. Isn't it a support group, not a one-woman-show? Plus she is boring and only talks about the same thing over and over again. I've heard enough about low GI foods, exercising, how her daughter is a dancer, and how good it is to eat protein for breakfast. I would try out a different ...

Starting over

Hmm. Starting over is never easy. I'm on a new journey this time. I want to do this for different reasons. I want to do it for me. This week has been an okay one food wise, but I haven't been walking. I have had to suffer rain, but we needed it so it is hard to be mad about it. I know I may have lost a tiny bit of weight, but probably not much. Will weigh myself tomorrow. I had a few too many drinks still. BUT I swear I am trying! It is hard right now. I want to go to the doctor and request some weight-loss drugs. I don't think my doctor will give me them, and I know it is a weak way out, but I want the help. So don't judge me! Thanks so much for the support lately. Even the few of you who still check to see if I am around, your words mean a lot to me.
