Wow...I'm obviously not great at the whole Blogging scene. I just looked through my last blog. Kadence has changed so much since then! She is now 9 months old and is almost walking! Still the cutest little thing on the planet.
So...I signed up for a biggest loser competition at work. Supposedly they have some pretty awesome prizes. I think it's pretty obvious that I need to lose some weight and get back into shape. The problem is, I always start out strong and then slowly start to fail. To try to fix this problem, I've decided to blog about the process. I've heard it has helped some others to be successful. Even if nobody reads the blog but me, I still have to account for everything I do in a public format, which will hopefully help me out. So, here's the plan. I started keeping an online food journal. It tracks calories taken in and calories burned through exercise. I like the site I'm using because it lets me adjust the amount of calories I want in a day, and then it shows me positive or negative numbers, depending on whether I'm over or under that amount. The goal is to have positive numbers. These mean I'm under my calorie goal. I'm hoping the journal will help me take more responsibility for what I'm eating.
Today was the second weigh-in of the competition. Unfortunately, it was a day of extreme embarrassment for me. I gained one pound instead of losing anything. I knew it would happen too. I have been really sick with an incredibly miserable sinus infection. The headaches and weakness took over and working out was not at the top of my list. I laid around in my sea of tissues and cold medicine while slacking on my new diet regime. I didn't pay any attention to what I ate whatsoever. Not good.
This week I am finally starting to feel better, and I am determined not to be embarrassed again! Today I went to the gym in my apartment complex (gotta love the free stuff). I rode 10 miles on the bike, lifted some weights, and did some ab work. I was pretty good with eating as well. The helpful part of my job is that I have no access to unhealthy snacks let alone time to sit around and eat them.
Well, wish me luck! I'll check back in tomorrow.
PS...My amazing basketball team won the championship and had a perfect undefeated season! Congrats to the amazingly talented girls on the team!
