Weigh-In Wednesday
I am going to participate in Life as a CEO's Weigh-In Wednesday. Click on the image above to take a blog button and participate!!
From her site:
Today I am kicking off Weigh- In Wednesday and I hope you'll join me. Do you have some weight you'd like to lose? Maybe the last 10-15 pounds from your last pregnancy? Or just a few extra you packed on this summer? Let's be each others inspiration.
If you are a blogger, grab my Weigh-In Wednesday button and blog about your new efforts every Wednesday. I will have a challenge for each week - such as to post your favorite diet-friendly recipe, or snack tip. Each week, you can let your readers and myself know how many pounds you are down (don't worry, no need to disclose your starting off weight!), too.
If you are not a blogger, simply post a comment every Wednesday under my post to let me know how you are doing, and to share in the challenge for the week, too.
My Weigh in Wednesday Update #1
I have recently lost 15-20ish lbs by following the Biggest Loser Diet. It was a good diet...but it was very structured which in my book is grounds for failure. I just know that I can stick with something for maybe a month...but I get bored and lazy after at about a month's time. I want to lose 15-20ish more lbs so I am going to make a list of things that I can do to achieve this goal.
1. Drink more water...less diet coke and coffee. I just won a Fiber One Giveaway that has a large water cup included. So everyday...I am going to drink one of those! UGHHH. I hate to even type that out. I love love love my Diet Coke.
2. Get more sleep...so that I will have more energy to exercise. I will be in bed by 11:00 p.m. ( we will see how this goes as that is blog time.)
3. I will start running in the morning's again. Starting tomorrow. (good thing my iphone is an ipod.) Music makes running a little easier. When I think I want to give up...I think to myself -- I will keep going until this song is over!! It works.
4. I will stop snacking on crackers and peanut butter when playing winster at midnight. This should be easy to accomplish as I will already be in bed! This may seem easy for you since it is just crackers...but they are my Kryptonite!! I have no trouble saying not to cheesecake or sweets, but if I bring cheese it's into the house...they are goners! I am not sure what it is about carbs...but I love them!!
5. I will eat breakfast...this is really important as it starts your metabolism after fasting while sleeping. I know that when I have a good breakfast I don't pig out at lunch. Can you say Kashi $1.50 Q's?
6. I will start snacking better between said breakfast, lunch and dinner.
OK that is all that I can think of -- starting weight 141 hopeful weight 120ish.
Kelly Mac Snack Attack
(this is one of my favorite recipes from the Biggest Loser Club)
11 almonds- seems stupid to count them out-- but trust me it's plenty!
1 table spoon chocolate chips
2 table spoon raisins
It's really good. I usually get smoked almonds and milk chocolate chips. It's filling with an apple!!

Good for you for participating in the challenge. Sounds like you have a solid plan. You can do it!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think those are great goals. I can't wait to have this kid and make my own. Being on this GD diet has been fantastic a blessing in disguise since I have only gained net 1 lb the whole pregnancy... so after the baby is here I should be lighter.. YEAH! but If i continue on the diet or CLOSE to then i'm sure i'll lose more weight. :)
ReplyDeleteGoodluck!
