Weighing in with Melissa – Week 4

January 27th, 2010 | Comments | Posted in Melissa |

I had a less-than-stellar week.

Husband was home for the first time in a month.

NFL Playoffs.

Yes, these are excuses.

I weighed in at 218.8 lbs, which is down 1.2 from last week.

Kickoff for Team in Training is Sunday.

I am ready.

My mind is ready.

My body is ready.

Down 0.6 lbs this week.

SMFD.

I thought it would be so much better.

Went to gym this morning.

You can check it out on DailyMile.

My router died.

So I must use this awful desktop.

That is all.

Ole!

November 11th, 2009 | Comments | Posted in Melissa |

Oh, Dear Goodness. I gained another pound back this week. I am going the WRONG WAY the last few weeks.

I admit it.

I ate Taco Johns potato oles.

I ate at Arbys.

I craved cheese.

Whatever.

Yesterday, I re-broke my gym virginity and it felt beyond awesome.

I did 3.01 miles in 40 minutes.

Songs I enjoyed during my workout:

Axel F – Crazy Frog… it’s also fun to dance to with friends while drinking vodka and video-recording yourself.

Rocket Man – My Morning Jacket.

Given to Fly – Pearl Jam.

Just thought you would want to know.

I am heading to the grocery store to buy veggies right now. For real.

Total Miles logged:  3.01 miles.

Week 1 of Shrink-a-Versary Extravaganza!

November 4th, 2009 | Comments | Posted in Melissa |

Well, Week 1 is over! How did I do?

Not so hot. Yes, I totally succumbed to the pressure of the reesespeanutbuttercups-sweetarts-snickers-gummies-badfoodgoodness.

Was I expecting a gain this week? YES.

Did I gain this week? YES. 1.4 lbs to be exact.

I am going to say a big WHATEVER to my first week in this new challenge, because really? I wasn’t trying. At all. I vow to do better next week.

Bits and Pieces!!

October 23rd, 2009 | Comments | Posted in Melissa |

First off, I did weigh-in the other day and I was the same as the week before and it was even a middle-of-the-day-after-eating weigh-in! AWESOME!

Second, have you seen the ‘hood?? I LOVE IT! I am so excited to see all the new (and old) faces! I think it is going to be amazing!

Third, my shameless plug… sorry but I want to WIN! I am one of twelve finalists in 5 minutes for mom’s photo contest! So, you know, if you want to go vote, I will be very, very happy! (And btw, mine is the cute girls jumping, just sayin’) It will take less than a minute of your time. Mwah!

Weigh-In Wednesday!

March 25th, 2009 | Comments | Posted in Melissa |

I am writing here today, well, because I can. And I also don’t feel like writing my numbers on my other blog.

WI today: 229, +2 lbs.

I am pretty much back where I started last December!! Augh! I was expecting a little gain this week because I haven’t been eating very well, plus I have my period. ;o)

My goals for this challenge:

*Lose 15 lbs.

*Refrain from alcoholic beverages during the week. So far, so good this week! Yay!

*Continue exercising over an hour for AT LEAST 3 times a week, aiming for 5.

*Log points on WW Online.

Just So You Know…

January 23rd, 2009 | Comments | Posted in Melissa |

I really appreciate all the awesome comments and advice left for me here (and here) by you wonderful people after my huge gain this week. I did go ahead and buy a new scale. I tested it out and compared it to my old one and can no longer use that as an excuse for my gargantuan gain. Crap, now I need to think of something else to blame it on.

MIA

December 17th, 2008 | Comments | Posted in Melissa |

Sorry that I have been missing in action lately! I have been traveling like crazy and just can’t seem to get caught up with everything. Not to mention that having four children in elementary school is keeping my head spinning. Aaugh! I have been failing miserably keeping track of who needs what on which day and where!!

So the good news: I have been doing well with the exercise again. I feel like I am gaining muscle and endurance. And, of course, the bad news: I have been sucking with the eating part, hard to believe, right?! I took a girls-weekend-shopping-trip in Minneapolis this past weekend and there was SUCH good food. I had margaritas, Chex mix (my weakness!), cheesecake, candy… NOT GOOD PEOPLE!

I am down 0.4 this week, which I will gladly take after all the shitty food I have had! My hubby left for work again, so I am going to completely focus this week on eating right and journaling!
