3 more weeks

Saturday's weigh-in was decent @ 3.2lbs of loss and there are only 2 more weigh-ins to determine who the final 10 are. we get to skip this Saturday as it is a bye week so there needs to be a big showing in 2 weeks. Maybe another 8 lb'er?

Second Month completed

I have come to the end of the second month in the Bakersfield Loser competition. Last month I did not even place in the top 10 losers so I am hoping for better. I talked to a few today and they were only showing 1 lb loses so after last weeks loss of 8.2 lbs and this weeks loss of 2.8 lbs I have hopes...

Kristina and Sarai also lost this week so we were all losers together. Kristina had an amazing 7.4 lbs I think it was and so she trounced us... I will hear the results of February tomorrow so till then...

Okay so I am not that good with blogs

Last weigh in was great with the loss at 8.2 lbs (not 9, sorry) this week... well lets just say we are staying the course and leave it at that because the loss seems to be elusive.

Lonnng Week

It has been a few days. 3 days in Arizona on a sales trip, 40 plus hours of driving (their were 3 of us to drive) and then back to the grind. I lost a little weight in the last weigh in but only a couple of pounds. We had 2 weeks (only 1 now) till the next weigh in and I am determined to make a showing.

Back in the saddle again

Back home, back in the gym...

I only gained about .8 lbs while I was gone which is pretty good considering all the food I was given was "Carb" City! I managed to pick through and survive. I had to resort to using the stairs instead of the escalator at the convention center and I walked as far and briskly as I could. Dinner at 8:00 every night did not help either...

Enough for today...

Really!!!

What a week! Can't get to a gym, subsisting on grilled fish and water as much as I can, (but not totally unfortunately) did not make the top 10 losers, and one more day to go before I can return to a normal schedule. I will have to work my rear off the last 2 days before the weigh-in...

Evening of challange

Spent 1 1/2 hours in a conference pavillion last night with all the Chinese, Mexican and American fried foods you could imagine, all you can eat just for the taking. I managed to get out on 2 bottles of water, 1 small thin slice of french roll, and 5 small chunks of cheese. We finally got to dinner around 8:30 at a Japanese restaurant. I ate Salmon Teriyaki with squash and eggplant along with a 1/4 cup or so of rice. This conference is going to be quite the challange, as of yet I have not found a gym to work out in. The good news is I ate very little else yesterday!!!

Sorry so long

Took a few days off from the blog

The 2 weeks between weigh-ins has been brutal, no weight loss at all the first week (good thing there was a not a weigh-in). This week has been better, I am anticipating about 6 lbs loss but we will see.

I have to say that I feel much better with the healthy meals and exercise than I have in years. I have not really had any health issues but being lighter and physically active has greatly improved my energy level. So far I am down about 44 lbs.

Well tomorrow is the big day, another weigh-in at 11:00AM. I'll be back...

Samo-Samo

Well this last few days have been pretty uneventful, no weight loss, not much gym, gotta get back into is and get ready for the weigh in next Saturday, the good news is I have not gained...

24 hour break over

After celebrating the weight loss for the last 24 hours it is time to get back to the grind. Back to the gym, and back to eating correctly and conservatively.

Woahhh 10 plus lbs

Second weigh in this morning, my youngest daughter lost 1 1/2 times what I did, Sarai made a great showing and after whining all week I was pleasently surprised to lose over 10 lbs in one week.

We have 2 weeks till the next weigh in so I am looking forward to maintaining the same momentem to lose 20 more lbs.

Grrrrrr...

I am not dropping and I am eating right and drinking water and exercising twice a day...

The week wears on

I find that I am at a loss as to what I should eat. Listening to all the ex-perts almost all food is eliminated. Don't eat fruit after noon, don't injest caffeine, don't eat empty calories the list goes on... too much fat, too many carbs...

My weight is down steadily this week but the loss is slowing down even though my eating is light and steady.

Feelin Good!

Weight is down today, that is good. Ate well with no regrets and goin to hit the gym in an hour or so.
(on a side note, suspicions gatorade bottles full of honey shut down the Bakersfield Airport today and cause an evacuation)

This 1st quarter

Tomorrow Jan 2nd begins the competition for weight loss at the Gym. I am determined to lose at least 70 lbs in this competition which will put me at my goal weight. I will not be undertaking this task alone as my youngest daughter is also in the competition.
