Update

I decided to forgo the challenge for the Get Fit for Christmas contest. The idea behind it is awesome but the energy and determination it takes to do it has not been there. Plus, although I think watching your weight during the holidays is important, for me it is not priority. I want to focus on family and that is what these last few months need to be.

To keep me on track my husband and I have challenged each other to move and lose weight. So far we haven't done the best but its a work in progress. My goal for this holiday is to maintain my weight if not lose more.

Weigh-ins are still Tuesday morning(another reason I had a difficult time with the challenge is it through me off because weigh-ins were fridays. it is all a mental thing, i know i am crazy) and this next Tuesday I will post updated measurements.

Week 23: 158.6
Week 24: 160.6
eek!! not the 160's again

These pictures make me laugh because it is a picture of our legs and it makes me think naughty thoughts. When it was just me all I thought was weight. Just another reason to get the man on board. ;)

hubby's weighin

Week 1: 207.6lbs
Week 2: 209.6lbs

Weighing in was exciting for the man because he thought he was around 215lbs but to find he was lower than that was a plus.

Stay tuned: Monday I am going to host my first give away titled Pay It Forward!

Challenge starts today!

Get Fit For The Holidays starts today and I am so excited!!

I really think that this will help me not eat so much. HAHAHAHAHA

It's ok you can laugh.

I am. But I really am going to do it!!

Weigh-Ins are on Fridays so I will start posting my weigh-ins and picture on friday.

Who cares right.

So to start out this challenge my weight is 158.6

Rules:

1. Set a realistic goal. Remember that this challenge is only 36 days long.
2. Track your stats on the last day of each week period.
3. No cheating! Be honest about your updates and please don't tamper with anyone else's.
4. If you don't have a blog or twitter handle please use your full name and supply an email address. This will allow me to contact winners if I am able to get the challenge sponsored.
5. In order to qualify for the contest you will need to take a photo at the beginning of the challenge (Nov 19th) and one photo at the end of the challenge (Dec 24th). Please include a sign that says "Get Fit for the Holidays Nov-Dec 2010". This is to ensure that everyone is presenting honest and accurate information.
   

Ummmm I didnt do a body shot. Hoping that's ok but if not I will do one later.
Good Luck to everyone

I got a happy pill and so far I am still getting used to it. It makes me super sleepy and gives me headaches. Actually I dont know if the headaches are pill induced or if they are cookie induced but either way the headaches are there. I do feel like they calm me down a little bit. So we shall see how that works out.

Twitter is getting more exciting as there are different motivational people on there with great advice. If I could sit still to read it all that would be great. I found someone doing a challenge over this holiday season starting November 19th ending December 24th. I know what you are thinking, a challenge over the biggest eating season of the year, I have to be nuts. hahahaha I am excited for it and it will keep me in check.

Get Fit for the Holidays

Eat Day!

Ok one thing I must confess is I have an eat day where I eat anything and then do good on all other days. This was my day yesterday in no particular order:

cake
cake frosting
sauteed squash
sauteed zucchini
sticky rice w/ hot sauce
fruit/vegetable smoothie
oriental chicken salad
cheese stick
bagel w/ cream cheese
milk
water
chips
crackers w/ hummus

I think that is it. But the best part about this is the fruit/vegetable smoothie. It cleans me out and then in the morning my lemon/peppermint water cleans me out. Not that you wanted to know how much I poo but pooing is good for you. You know your body is getting rid of the bad stuff when you poo.

Something exciting to talk about. I won 4th place in VBL and that is pretty freakin exciting. I can now go buy pants that fit. :) Thank you so very mucho grande.

Just as I was getting pumped. . . .

. . . . to start the workout challenge over at Drazil's Blog I get sick. Seriously! What is the deal with my body?! I think mostly it is just due to stress and not getting enough sleep. So I have been having daily hangovers thanks to Nyquil, which I will not take again so I can be alert for the kids this week, blowing my honker like crazy and losing my head thanks to head congestion. I havent made the best of food choices. Not to mention anything like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Cake Icing. But it really is the only thing that taste good going down the sore throat. At least that is what I tell myself. hahahaha Oh the joys.
