I'm still going strong

Well my friends I am so sorry that I did not post last week. Just too busy!

I'm still trying to win this thing! So weigh in was today. I didn't think I lost much. I weighed myself on Saturday to prepare myself and I was only down a pound. So today when I got on the scale to weigh in and I saw 180 and that I was down 3.5 from last week I was shocked! I could not believe it! But that's what being a woman does. :o)

So to be honest I was discouraged because my main competition lost 4 pounds last week and is at 9.4%. I was at 6.8% and I thought it was going to be really hard to catch up. I was loosing hope I guess you could say. But I'm glad I didn't give up and that I was able to settle in my heart that I am doing the best that I can do. I'm a mom and that's my first priority. And Eli was a bit cranky all week. I see a few little teeth about to come through. All he wants is to be held. And I love holding him but it is also hard to get much done. Oh well. That's the reason why I stay home right!

So now I'm up to 8.6%. I am shocked and only a few pounds away from my competition. I ranked 11 out of 140 last week. I'll post this week when the results come in (Wednesday). I will also know on Wednesday what I'll need to do to catch up.

I can't believe this is working so well. I have lost 17 pounds in the last 5 weeks and I am only 16 pounds away from my pre-baby weight. 6 months ago I never thought I was going to get my body back but boy, I am so blessed that the Lord has helped me through all this. Yay!! Thank you Lord!!

3 weeks down 9 more to go!

So, Today is weigh in day. I'm always so nervous for this day but it went well. Matt woke me up in the middle of the night again because I was grinding my teeth! I need to stop that! Any help?

I lost another 3 pounds! YAY! So that's a total of 11 in 3 weeks and 5.5%. 186! So we'll see how everyone else is doing but I think I'm catching up to the other losers. I was in 26 place last week out of 140. My main competition is in 2nd and 3rd place. They are at 7% but we'll see how the next few weeks go they are both big guys. So I'm in this to win it! I only have 22 pounds to go to get to my pre-pregnant weight. 29 to go to reach my goal.

6 months ago I thought it was impossible! But boy, the Lord is truly teaching me that all things are possible! It's a great thing to be in control and to feel healthy and to want to workout! I like running. I never thought I would say that. I think I'll do some kind of race in the spring. Anyone want to join me?

Exciting!!!

OK, I got great news!!! My main competition for the NBC challenge only lost 2 pounds!!! Yay! I'm so excited! I still have a chance to get ahead. This is my week!

Although, I really shouldn't be happy. But it's the honest truth! I am so going to win this!!! It's not a sprint but a marathon!

2 Weeks down 10 to go!

Well, 2nd weigh in day! I think I get too nervous about these weigh ins. Matt woke me up at 4:30am because he said that I was grinding my teeth. And than at 5:30 because I was still grinding them! And he sleeps through everything!!

So I lost 2 pounds this week. I was a bit disappointed because of all my tracking and and excising. My log said I should have lost 3.5 pounds. But Matt made me feel better. We went over my food log and saw that I had way too much sodium and fiber and not enough water. So, I'm sure you all get the picture:o) At least next week I'll have a bigger number! So now I've lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks and 4.02% of my body weight. This is going to set me back some but I'm not giving up from winning to NBC contest! These next 3 weeks is really my time to pull ahead because the people that have more weight to lose aren't going to be pulling such big numbers (water weight).

So I will keep you informed! My team is a little disappointing. We are in last place and only half the team showed yesterday. So that's a little annoying too! But I'm not giving up! Although I want to eat junk food, I'm just taking it minute by minute!

Thanks everyone for your support!
