Week 3: Weigh In

Week 3 - 165.8

This week didn't go so well - I didn't work out even once. I am however still avoiding soda, and taking the stairs at work - that should count for something!

I think I'll go weigh in again later this afternoon and see if I weigh any less...

Update as of 1:55 pm:
I just weighted in again and this time was at 165.0. At least now I haven't gained anything back (for the record)

Week 2: Weigh In

Week 2 - 165.0

I didn't really try too hard this week so I'm ok with the result. I stayed away from soda for the most part, but did have a few unhealthy meals.

This week in review:

• Learned (or realized) the water from the water fountains at work tastes like a$$, however, if you add crystal light to it then it tastes ok.
• Worked out 1 time at Bally - did the elliptical machine for 10 mins, treadmill for 5 mins and bicycle for 15 mins. When I left they offered me 4 years for the price of 2 if I joined the gym. I told the guy that I couldn't plan 4 years in advance! (besides that I'm just using them for their 8 week free membership, as I have no intentions of joining ever)

Week 1: Weigh In

Good results - I'm down 3.4 lbs from last week, weighing in this afternoon at 168.4!

How'd this week go?

• took the stairs at work (4 flights) up and down each day
• only 2 sodas the whole week
• worked out (weights) Thursday night
• walked around (cardio) the zoo Sunday afternoon
• Activated free 8 week gym membership to Bally Total Fitness on Monday night
• Trying to eat lots of fruits and veggies and not so much junk
  

First weigh-in

171.8 lbs

The Biggest Loser Contest

My work is having a biggest loser contest...here are the rules:

• Contest will begin 1/9/08 and end on 6/25/08
• Each participant will pay a total of $40. If you decide to drop out, you will still be responsible for paying the $40. You can pay all at one time or as you go.
• Each participant will be weighed weekly on Wednesdays and their weight will be recorded in a confidential file. The only information that will be posted is a periodic top 5 ranking with % of weight lost.
• If you have an official weigh in at Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, etc.; you will have to bring in your weight with a signature from the place to have it be official.
• The person who has the highest % of weight loss at the end of the competition will be the Biggest Loser and will be awarded 75% of the pool of money. Second place will be awarded 15% and third place 10%.
• You are encouraged to adopt sensible diet and fitness habits to achieve your weight loss goals. The methods you choose are up to you, however, child birth, voluntary donation of organs weighing over 3 lbs, weight loss surgery and removal of limbs will disqualify you
• This contest is not an work sponsored program.
  

Good luck!

Made it up 4 flights of stairs....

I made it from the ground floor to the 4th floor at work taking the stairs - hardly stopping. 106 steps in case you were wondering.
