Ergh.

127.6 today. What's with the going backwards? I'm still at 8.5 lbs down. Of course, I haven't been exercising, so maybe it's time to start doing that. Hmmm.

Standing Still

Well, I'm still at 127.4. It's not bad. I haven't been drinking much water, so I think that plays into it. Leif and Eliana are both sick, and I'm not feeling so hot myself. Yesterday I slept from about 1-5, then went to bed around 9 and slept until 6, so I'm guessing I'm fighting off something, too. Thankfully, though, I'm not puking, like they are. But I'm taking it easy. I may not make it to that 10 lbs by Sept 1 after all, but we'll see what the scale says when I weigh in on Tuesday. In the meantime, I'm just trying to stay hydrated and eat responsibly. =D Let's hope that does it!

Lunch

I am having baked zucchini parmesan and some tomatoes for lunch with carbonated water. Yum!! (and healthy, too!)

Healthy Weight!!

See that ticker?

The one at the top of the page?

It says that my BMI is now 24.9.

Do you know what that means??

It means that I am officially within the HEALTHY WEIGHT RANGE for my height and frame!!

HOORAY!!!

Down to 127.4 today. 1.4 lbs to go to reach 10 lbs, but this was my first goal and I've met it!!

Almost palindromatic

8.2 22.8 =D

8.2 lbs down, 22.8 lbs to go... I weighed in at 127.8 today! If I can make it down another 1.8 lbs in the next 5 days, I'll be down 10 lbs in the first month! Hooray!

Weigh in for Biggest Loser

Weighed in at 128.4 this morning, which means I'm down 7.6 lbs in 3.5 weeks, or 5% of my body weight. That's about 2 lbs a week, which is a healthy rate of loss. So we have 12 weeks to the middle of November, and a little over 14 weeks to December 4th, when the contest ends. That puts me right on target if I keep losing at the rate I'm going, even a smidge ahead for the contest. I need to lose 23.4 lbs more.

Moderation.

Water.

Walking.

I really want to be down another 2 lbs by the end of the week. That would bring me to just about 10 lbs.

I've also considered running a 5K next month, and if I'm going to do that (which I'm not completely decided on) I need to start running again!

7 lbs down

Yesterday I had a garage sale (and today, too) and I decided to drink water and stand during the 3 hours of the sale, just to keep from being too lazy. =D And today I'm down in weight again! Hooray! I know they say just to weigh once a week, but weighing daily is so much more encouraging for me! I can see what's happening right away instead of wondering what I did over the course of a week to lose the weight. Right now drinking water and not spending oodles of time sitting on my bum seem to be key! So today I've passed the 7 lb weight loss mark and am at 128.8! I would be STOKED to lose 10 lbs by the end of the month! That would be 1/3 of the weight I need to lose.

Of course, I'm sitting down right now as I type, so I suppose it's time to get up and move!
