I WON THE BIGGEST LOSER CONTEST!!! my final percentage lost was 13% i am SUPER excited!!
then i went to the gym for PUMP and afterwords i met with the trainer for BOOT CAMP - my body assessment.... i have lost a total of 17.1 inches
1.25 off my neck
3.25 off my chest
4.75 off my waist
5.00 off my hips
2.00 of my thigh (right only - they only do one)
.5 off my calf (right only again)
i am SO EXCITED about those numbers for my waist and hips! i start BOOT CAMP tomorrow... i'm nervous. when i told kim about how much i have lost and about winning biggest loser she said "don't think i'm going to take it easy on you!" i told her i didn't want her too - i still have 40 pounds that i want to lose! i don't remember exactly but my body fat before was 41% and now i'm at 36%.
i was told that i need to be eating my activity points.... i'm not eating enough! she said with the workouts that she already knows that i do.... and especially adding in her BOOT CAMP i need to eat some of my activity points - and i need to make sure 30% of all my meals are potein. we also talked about protein shakes.
okay - i'm off to read a few blogs before going to bed.... tomorrow's the last day before spring break!! whoo-hoo
tomorrow is the last weigh in for our biggest loser contest for school. the winner takes home $270.75 - second place takes home $90.25. it is totally biggest loser style - most % of of weight loss - at the halfway point she said that as a whole the team was avg. 4% - i was at like 6 or 7 % - as of last week i am at a 12% weight loss!!! i'm trying very hard not to get my hopes up - but it's hard not too.... i'll let you all know tomorrow!
i have 2 more days until spring break - we leave saturday 6am for alabama/georgia. and i found a gym that is about 30 min. away that does my BODY ATTACK and BODY PUMP classes... that excites me very much! i just need to find out about the visitor fees. thank God that my MIL and BIL both are doing WW too! that will be very helpful.
i have had a hard time eating all my points this week - that has been my biggest challenge. i still did well this week - but i need to try and do better at that.
okay - i need to finish watching TBL from last night! i'll visit everyone's blogs tomorrow - i don't want to read something about it before i've finished watching!! have a GREAT night everyone!
i stepped on the scale this morning... unofficially my weight is 192!! i am on my way to being out of the 190's!
today was my fusion class and it kicked my butt! sweat was DRIPPING after the first 45 min. and when i asked one of the instructors about the air - he said it was set at 60! so i was super hot and sweaty and now it was time to do weights for 45 min!!
tonight we are going to shogun's for dinner - it's a hibachi resturaunt. it was thrown in the plan at last minute. a friend of ours is leaving for iraq - and his diployment date was pushed up to wednesday. i LOVE hibachi! i can normally eat pretty well there - i can eat seafood or chicken and veggies! and yes - i will be having rice. just not so much of it...haha.
i have a lot of work this weekend - we have our head start audit this week coming up - and i just need to remain calm and not get stressed out (which is hard becuase the higher ups are stressed!) as long as i get through to wednesday. then there is thursday and friday - and then it's spring break! then the week after spring break i come back to a title one audit. that one - i'm not nervous about at all.
okay - i guess i need to get back to my work! ttfn!
i'm am down 2.6 pounds! for a total of 26.4!! OMG - i cannot believe that i have lost that!
i went for BODY PUMP yesterday - but skipped YOGA... my DH was actually home - i only get to see him in the evenings... even on weekends because he is working - so yes, i wanted to be home with him. i did PUMP at least - i didn't skip both (which i wanted to do!)
i still haven't had my assessment for my BOOT CAMP yet. kim is still out sick. i hope she is feeling better soon!
tonight was ATTACK. i felt like throwing up today at the end of it! that's how much i pushed myself.
i've been trying to shop for some new pants... my work pants are way too big. i can't find anything! i went to ross, cato, goodwill, old navy, and walmart.... nobody has anything i like. so i keep on wearing my old pants - super cinched. i am going to try to hit marshalls and goody's this weekend.
in other news... 42 school days left this school year! i'm ready for this school year to be over! and a week and a half until spring break!
well i drove past taco bell tonight - 2 times - and i REALLY wanted to stop. i know i shouldn't deprive myself - especially since i had the points to get for my dinner - but i didn't plan it in! so i didn't stop... i drove right past.
i was supposed to have my assessment for my boot camp class starts - but the trainer was sick. so she's supposed to be calling me tomorrow to set up a new time. i was really looking forward to checking my measurements ... i guess a few more days won't hurt.
we don't have any heat! we didn't really have it last night either. the blower stopped working - DH went out and did something and it was working (for a couple hours at least) and stopped working in the middle of the night. called the landlord this morning - and the earliest anyone could come out is tomorrow. we borrowed a space heater from a neighbor...
i know - not much of a weight related blog - i think it's time for bed... ATTACK kicked my butt - i need to get back into actually writing blogs that are related!
okay - i am not beating myself up for eating that pizza! it's in the past - so i'm looking forward. reading blogs and comments have really helped! i took yesterday off from the gym - but DH and i did go out line dancing (at the bar) i only had one drink - and the rest of the night i had water. that is a big accomplishment for me! at the end of the night he wanted to go to the diner for breakfast... i did okay. i had chicken fried chicken - with gravy on the side - egg whites, 1/2 of the order of hash browns, and one slice of wheat toast with grape jelly... oh yeah - a large hot chocolate with whip cream. we hadn't gone out and done that in a long time... a couple of months....so it was good.
so because of this - i have eaten pretty light today - strawberries and cantaloupe with splenda for breakfast. salad and turkey sandwich for lunch. so far i've only had 5 of my 27 daily points. and i've been to the gym. i actually did some running today! i was on the treadmill for about 22 min. i walked for 2 min and ran for 3 min. i repeated this until 22 min was up and then i went in for aqua aerobics. tonight we are going out with friends for dinner to mongolian bbq. i don't eat too bad there. i have lots of veggies!!
in unrelate news.... tonight is Earth Hour - basically you turn off all your lights and electronics for one hour... from 8-9 pm. check out earthhour.org for more info. i hope you can all participate.
well WI went okay... lost .6 - not a lot but still a loss.
now for the bad news.... last night i ate (almost) and entire medium pineapple pizza from dominos. 7 slices (a med. has 8) it just tasted SO GOOD! my stomach didn't like me very much today because of it. so i guess i learned my lesson. at least i did workout - ATTACK!
today i ate much better. i still have 3 points for this evening. i also went to walmart this evening and picked up my veggies and fruits. maybe i'll make myself a little treat of some strawberries with FF cool whip. that'll be a nice treat for tonight.
tonight i did BODY PUMP - i upped my weight on my bar tonight for certain sets.... squats, chest, back, and biceps. i talked to one of my favorite instructors about how often i should be taken certain classes - mainly once i start taking the book camp class on friday. right now i don't go to the gym on fridays or sundays. so my new schedule will be monday - ATTACK; tuesday - PUMP and yoga; wednesday - ATTACK; thursday - off; friday - BOOT CAMP; saturday - aqua; sunday - off.
okay... now i need to get off of here - and read some blogs to get some more motivation!
don't really have much to say... probably because i'm feeling a little down. WI is tomorrow and i have peeked at the scale and not really much of a change since my last WI. thats why i'm down... i was able to say away from candy on valentines day... not so much over easter. i LOVE easter candy - mainly cadbury eggs and reese's pb eggs. my cadbury eggs are gone - but i still have a few of my reese's. i gotta get them gone - and no - i'm not going to throw them out. oh well - next week is a new week.
i gotta head out to the gym for BODY PUMP and YOGA.
well i didn't do "too" bad tonight for dinner. i am only 7 points over for today. i think that is very good for a holiday meal. i was told to bring dessert - i made brownies. well my friends daughter made brownies too - so guess who had to bring her brownies home... yeah - me. it made me a little upset - mainly because why did you tell me to bring dessert if you were going to have dessert.
okay - well nothing much else is going on. thankfully no kids tomorrow - a day to do paperwork. hopefully i get a lot done.
i hope you all are having a wonderful easter with your family and friends!
**edited in 3/24/08** well i ate another brownie last night!!! BUT - DH took the brownies in to his work this AM so they are now out of my house. so glad for that because i don't know how well i would have been able to stay away from them!
i got up this morning and did the fusion class (ATTACK & PUMP) my body in definately tired now though. it got me thinking though -
how many days a week should i be doing strength training? (i'm thinkin' Gettinfit will have an answer to this question for me)
monday i might miss the gym - there is a psychic that i listen to on my country radio station and she is going to be here on monday - and i would love to go see her - my mom told me of a few times she had gone to see a psychic. she was told about me before i was even thought of. (there are 18 years between me and my sister - and my mom was on birth control - my mom said i was a gift from God) but anyways - a psychic said something to her about her 3 daughters - and she only had 2 at the time. well anyways - i would really like to go and see her.
we will be going to a friends house for Easter dinner tomorrow. it should be fun. i wish i had a church here that i liked. i hope that everyone has a nice Easter with or without your family. i have my mom and dad here in my heart!
anyways - enough off the non-diet track - i got an email from the boot camp instructor. sometime between now and april 11 i will be meeting with her for a one-on-one assessment which includes a body and a behavior assessment. i had my measurements done when i joined the gym last summer - i'm excited to see how much they have changed since then.
okay i gotta go - gotta take rocky (the dog) to get his nails clipped. i HATE doing it myself.
oh well - next week is a new week. 
BUT - DH took the brownies in to his work this AM so they are now out of my house. so glad for that because i don't know how well i would have been able to stay away from them!
