Travel Girl Puts Out a Contract

That's right...I've put out a contract on myself to lose this last 37 lbs over at Stickk.  It's a website where you make any kind of commitment, choose a referee and add friends to be notified of your progress.  You can put money on it too, but I didn't do that.  Jerel heard about it from NPR, and I thought it was a great idea.

Today was my first day sticking to the JC plan 100% (in a long time), and it has gone really well.  I had a salad at lunch and lots of roasted veggies with dinner.  I'm feeling great and really motivated to get to my goal.

I cleaned out my closet and drawers today.  I had plenty of things to get rid of - some shirts that were too big, the Ann Taylor Loft pants I bought back in October (size 14), etc.  txlass - I have some things for you!

My workout goals for this week are:

• Monday - BURN
• Tuesday - personal training with Tara
• Wednesday - run (hopefully outside)
• Thursday - strength training
• Friday - run
• Saturday - strength training, Pilates

Hope everyone has had a great weekend and is ready for another successful week!!

Neat...

That is a cool website!  You WILL lose the last 37 lbs!  We are all here behind you!

Oh, Andrea!

I love you! :) I've been thinking about you all weekend! I have to pay $5.00 for 10 minutes of internet access, so I've been "el cheapo" about it, but just logged on and wanted to say hi! Love your plan! Can't wait to check out that webiste! I also am so excited about meeting you next month! Good girl for cleaning out your closet & drawers! I need to clean my closet out so badly!!! Soon as I get home.........!!

Shelley

Whoo hooo

You are still rocking and rolling.  It's been a while since I've been here.  Just wanted to stop in and say HI!

You go!!!

I love the website!! You realize we are all going to be taking out contracts now!!

You can do this girl!!

Hello

That is a neat site, and Gwynn is right, we will all be taking out contracts.  I'm going to go check it out to learn more.    Thank you for sharing it. 

I have no doubt you will lose those 37 pounds.  No doubt at all.  Your week looks great! 

It's way cool you are going to meet Shelley.  Will RBR be there too?  You guys will have so much fun!  What's great is I KNOW you'll take pictures!  Can't wait to see them. 

You had asked which information I was sending for.  It's ISSA, International Sports Sciences Association.  Other folks have given me other ones to look into.  Am sure this is going to take some time. 

Was going to have dh take a picture of the weight, but figured that would be just straight up vain.  Can we say muscle head?     I promice I'm not being vain it still shocks me, but it would probalby appear that way.  It was on a pin machine. (those are easier for me.  Do you find that to be the case too?)  I can't even begin to get close to that on the plated squat machine.  And I'm not  going in there to be like "oh, let's see how much more I can lift today"  but BFL says to increase with each set.  Well, the increase just keeps going up.  I'm curious though....is it because I'm getting stronger, or did I limit myself in the beginning?  Hmmmm.... you know what I mean? I just wish the muscle would get a serious appetite for the fat soon.  I'm really tired of that extra layer.  (or two)  I keep hearing about how it just starts to go away, but so far, that is not the case for me.  Just need to keep going strong huh?  Even if it takes 14, 16, 20 weeks, I just need to keep going strong!!

Anyway....I think my comment is now longer than your blog, so I will get going.  Hope you have a wonderful week!!!  Again, I KNOW you will reach your goals!!!  You have already come so far!!!! 

cool

that website is so cool! i'm so making my own contract! thanks for the tip!

you WILL lose those 37 lbs!!!

you can do it

Hey Andrea - Haven't been around in a little bit, but I'm happy to see you are still plugging away and not letting the weight stagnation get you down.  You know what you have to do and you are doing it by making this commitment to yourself and writing it down.  I know you will get off the last little bit of weight.  Take care :-)

New profile

Hi Andrea!

I'm glad to see you're still doing well with your progress. It's amazing that you only have 37lbs left to go until goal- I'm so proud of you! I wanted to let you know I started a new profile since I feel like I have a new beginning with WW, so check out my first blog and don't forget to add me as your friend.

Love you lots, Andrea!

website

I heard about that website on the news the other night.....pretty cool idea....I wish I would have thought of it!

I have faith that you will meet your goals...and not have to "pay up"

Where ya be?

You must be really busy! You used to blog every day and now you've slowed down. Anyway, I just miss you and wanted to say hi! Take care!

Shelley

Cool website

I think it is a great idea! You are breathing down the neck of your goal! Your workouts and run training look fantastic (as usual!) and 100% JC, gosh I can't remember what that is like. I bet it feels great!

Less than a month until Zoo Zoom! Whoopee!!  This is going to be a BLAST!
