Another 10 week-er down another one to start

Day one - upping it up to 4X a week :)

New year - New bet part 2A

Grr - Silly Calendars that start with MONDAY instead of SUNDAY!

Baseline - Jan 4th - 17th
Official Kick Off - Jan 18th - Jan 31st
Wii renewal - Jan 11th - Mar 21st

New year - New bet part 2

We are starting a new bet for the wii & a separate bet for weight and here are the guide lines:

Baseline weight bet: Jan 5 - Jan 18 (2 weeks) to see if a) we are comfortable committing to this bet and seeing how much we are willing to try and loose.

Official Start date of Bet: Jan 19th - with some sort of conference call to cement goals.

10 week wii bet - to begin on Jan 12th - March 22nd and our individual goal is to commit to 4x a week exercising AT LEAST 20 minutes. Any extra days are 'banked' for future injuries or problems.

New year - New bet

After taking a 3 week break from Wii'ing 5 days a week, I started a new bet. Wii'ing 3 days a week. I can definitely see that the weight loss is stabilized only doing 3 days a week. BUT I am still exercising AND almost done. The 10th of Jan will be the last week of my 2nd ten week bet. Hmmm,...now if I could only think of a bet that would motivate me to loose weight!

omg

10 weeks past and I was the sole survivor of the 10 week bet! woohoo!

I did take several weeks off and did not post! bad girl! bad!

Tomorrow Nov. 2nd I start again. This time I will do 10 weeks and exercise 4 times a week with the ability to bank days if I am ambitious and can get in an other work out!

Ha Ha - one week left

One week left! and the ten week bet is over! I think I'll take a week off and then start a new bet!

Week long stalemate

For this entire week I have hovered at 240.something. It doesn't help that this was my first week with students (I teach first grade) and thus I was exhausted (I forget every year that when I get them they are basically kindergartners) and over ate at dinner, but there it is: an entire week at 240.something. THEN this weekend I managed to gain 3.5. Yikes, Yikes, egad! I did however get in my five days on the wii! Yippee to me!

Friday's weight 240.8
BMI 37.96
Net loss as of Friday was 10.3 pounds!

It is hard to feel good about those numbers seeing as I am now 3.5 five pounds over them but for a while I did break 38.something BMI.

In other news I did something to my knee and I am taking Motrin to keep the achy swelling down and I have been trying to be gentle with it. This is hard to do as my husband is deployed and I have a 3 year old and a 7 month old, however life will go on. I just have to be careful with it, loosing is NOT an option.

I will say that this Friday I almost lost the bet. I had one day left of the week and only one day left to exercise and I didn't want to get out of bed. This kind of amazes me that it took 50 days of wii-ing to finally NOT want to wii. However, I remembered I would owe 100 bucks so I got out of bed and exercised!

My friend, who also was wii-ing 5x a week for 100 bucks, lost her bet. I feel badly for her. I am going to try my darnedest to not succumb but to keep going.

Week 6 done! 4 more to go!
Goals for this week:
1. Wii Sat & Sun and 3 week days
2. take a snack to school so that at the end of the day I am not STARVING and can keep a handle on what I eat when it is dinner time.
3. Forgive myself for the 3.5 gain during the weekend. Weight fluctuates. It is not the be all end all of my success or failure it is but one of many measurements. That Big Mac made you feel absolutely sick, and you will remember that feeling next time you are tempted.
4. Keep writing what I eat down in the stupid...I mean helpful journal. Which reminds me I need to write down what I've eaten today.
