I’m writing this late, and didn’t weigh in until Monday morning, but I wanted to wrap up Challenge 2
__________________________________________________________
Today marks the end of Challenge 2 (2009). Not impressive at all!! I started this challenge at 138.5, got to a high of 142.5 (after vacation) and finished at 136.0 (up a half pound from last week). I’m a little frustrated because I have stayed completely within my target WW points for the past 4 weeks straight. The first week, I lost 3.5#, the second week I was down 2.5#, and last week I was down 1# during a high hormone week. This week, I stayed on task, had leftover “allowance” points, haven’t (ever) used a single activity point and I was UP a half a pound. Granted, I weighed in a day late (and AFTER a holiday and free day) and I was only a half pound up, so I won’t be fighting all week to get off a pound or two sparked from a full free day of eating. There’s my silver lining.
I ate at my parent’s house on the 4th. They had a cookout and I wanted to at least enjoy the cookout without doing too much damage, so I brought baked chips and a whole wheat (double fiber) English muffin to use for my hamburger bun. I also had some baked beans, a little bit of some really good potato salad, sugar free/fat free ambrosia, and some fresh fruit. For dessert I had a piece of cake my sister made that had fresh fruit, angel food cake and some vanilla ice cream. Oh, and a slice of homemade pumpkin bread (a huge weakness for me – AND it’s 8 WW points!!) Since my points were up from Saturday, I took a small free day and ended up having leftover allowance points for the week.
I will be counting WW points again for C3 and see where that takes me. Our workouts have been great! I absolutely LOVE lifting. If I had to do cardio only for the rest of my life, I’d go crazy!
I’ll take my measurements sometime this week and see where I’m at there. My goal for the next challenge will still be a target of 130 pounds.
Anyone want to join me for a 12 week challenge?? Set your goals, make a workout and eating plan, and let me know you’re in!!
I guess it’s on to Challenge 3…
