Weigh In Day/FFC

 

Weigh in Day!!!!

8.04 = 230.0

9.11 = 228.0

-2.0 pounds

Total Loss to Date: 49.6 pounds

My leader went ahead & adjusted my start weight to 277.6, so instead of a total of 32 pounds, I'm officially at 49.6 pounds down. :D I'm getting my 50 pound award next week.

Today's first-thing-wake-up-naked weight:

This post is two fold, and will be for the next 8 weeks. Today starts the beginning of the Fit & Fabulous Fall Challenge over at Thunder Thighs!

228.0 is my starting weight for this challenge. Curious as to how this challenge works? Click the image below. ;)

Week One's Mini Challenge is:

Week one - Today, in addition to weighing in, visit all challenge participants' blogs and share some encouragement through commenting on their post. Even a simple 'good luck' counts. One of the whole purposes of this challenge is to create a community of people who are in this weight loss journey together (ok, and the competition is helpful too, so you'll be able to see what you're up against *wink wink*).

Easy Peasy! ~ and done HERE.

Broadway 10K ~ Race Day

Today was my very first race! It was a very early morning. Today went better than I planned, even with one minor mishap. I'll get to that mishap later....

Green is for the 10K

Sweaty Mug

So I joined this group of gals on FB, most of which I went to high school with and am comfortable enough divulging my information with. So, as part of the groups September challenge we have to post a "Sweaty Mug" shot 5 out of 7 days a week. So.... here's today.

I did 3 miles, pushing the jogger in 80+ degree heat. 422 calories burned, however I will start wearing the chest strap again so my calories are more accurate. How's that for sweaty? Oh, and what do you think of one of my newest Bondi Bands?

Anyone else care to join in on posting their sweaty mugs? I could post a linky at the end of each week and we could share our favorite mug from the week??? Any takers?

New Shoes - Round 2

So, my shoes I purchased on the 24th have been returned. I wore them twice! Both times they caused a blister on the top of my toe, left foot, before I could even hit the two mile mark. That is not going to fly with me. You don't go out and spend $114 on shoes for them to hurt you.

So I took them back and exchanged them for some Brooks. I like them. They seem to have more stability than the Mizuno, but that means they are more rigid. I think the cushioning in the Mizuno's didn't help much after wearing the Brooks. So here, we go with round two... and four days remain until my first race.

And I'm randomly throwing out there my dinner...

Tuna Salad. {Organic Baby Spinach, Romaine, Kale, Green Onion, Cherry Tomato and Tuna. And yes, I used my points on salad dressing.}

Until next post...

Fit & Fabulous Fall Challenge

So, my friend, Thunder Thighs posed the question, does anyone know of any Fall blog challenges. Well, I Googled until my fingers hurt and found zero things out there. More than likely I wasn't Googling properly. LOL.... total 12 year old thoughts running through my head right now. Moving on...

So, Crystal beat me to the punch and beginning Tuesday, September 11th we will begin the first Fit & Fabulous Fall Challenge (FFFC). <<< You can find the rules by clicking.

1. Optional weigh-in weekly - With the beginning and final weigh in being mandatory, I am going to opt in for weighing weekly. I mean, I already do anyways and post it for the world to see, so why should this challenge change that?

2. Weekly challenges - These again are optional, but I think it's important to complete most, if not all, of this challenge. Besides, if prizes are involved...I'm even more motivated to complete them!

3. Prizes - HELLO! Prizes? What other motivation does one need? Oh right...the health aspect, but still, prizes just sweeten the pot!

So, I'm ready. Are you?

PLEASE be sure you share this challenge via Facebook, Twitter, Email, whatever social media you use. We want this challenge to start off on the right foot and the more the merrier. We all know how important motivation can be, especially when we are getting ready to head into that dangerous time of the year. You know, Halloween candy, Pumpkin Pies, Turkey & Dressing, and home made candy season.

Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

A girl deserves a little treat every now and again... after yesterday's blow to the brain I busted out the treats. I found this recipe on Pinterest, but wanted to do my own tweaking to it. So I broke out the coconut products and whole wheat flour and viola!

The large muffins are 6PP each and the mini's are 2PP each.

*Flax seed meal is optional, if you choose to use it, mix with the dry ingredients.

*For large muffins bake for 22-25 minutes.

Weigh Day

 

Weigh in Day!!!!

9.04 = 230.0

-0.4 pounds

Total Loss to Date: 30.0 pounds

Today's first-thing-wake-up-naked weight:

Today I'm pissed. I'm so pissed I didn't even want to write this post. I'm freaking LIVID. I even left the house for weigh in and forgot to take my breakfast with me for after my official weigh in. I haven't a lot to say other than I'm upset. This isn't right nor fair. I've worked my butt off, watched what I've eaten and have nothing to show for it this week. P-I-S-S-E-D.

Wanna know why? This was my weight 3 days ago, which put me at 50.0 pounds down:

No need to comfort me or blow smoke. I'll get over it, move forward, yada yada yada. It just flat out sucks that there's no reason for a jump like that. No.reason. Oh, except for lack of sleep.

Positives: I lost weight. I hit the 30 pound mark in 5 months. I didn't gain. My leader & I decided that next week at weigh in we'll go and adjust my start weight to include the weight I lost right before starting so we have a total weight lost instead of this and that... if that even makes sense.

Also I will be posting a new recipe and information on a fall challenge I will be partaking in and encourage you all to do so too! :)

Now I need to get some sleep before I lose it again.
