I wish I could vote on how much weight I'd lose each week and how quickly!
But I didn't see that on the ballot.
Instead, I lost one pound. We're back to that phase, one lonely pound at a time. One lonely pound away from the new decade of numbers. S-l-o-w-ly.
So:
Results: One pound
Goal for next week: Actually exercise. Yes, I did not exercise at all because I was all crazy sick this week but now that I am a little better I fully intend on exercising EVERY DAY. In some form.
Also, I left crazy kidcare-tipjar gym! And I found me a wonderland gym. A Christie gym. It has four-wall racquetball, indoor volleyball both of which I LOVVVVE and the kidcare does not have a tipjar anywhere in its vicinity! I can't wait to break it in!!!!!! Bye Bye old decrepit tipjargym!
Boy I'm talking a lot about me today! Sorry!!!! How are YOU? How did YOU DO THIS WEEK? Only a few weeks left!!! Do tell!!
This week's project was a fill in the blank: My life would be better if I had more ________.
Here is mine:
My life would be better if I had more CONFIDENCE.
I have a serious lack of this in my life. I compare myself to everyone and I waste a lot of time wishing when I could be doing. And the thing that stops me from doing what I want is the lack of confidence. I am quietly building it though. Things I would not want to do as my larger self: go to parties, take a group class at the gym, join a mom's group or actually go, work out, try on clothes, see old friends, do anything sociable really. Now that I've worked on things a little bit, I'm confident to try new things, like take a spinning class at the gym, or go to a Christmas party, or join the preemie mom's group I've joined. These are new developments. But I am still the one to sit back and let other people talk, I'm still conscious of the sound of my own voice filling up a room, I am conscious of what I may look like to other people and my self-consciousness has even affected my interactions at my son's school. I'm working to fix this too.
What about you? What would make your life better? It could be anything, by the way.
Happy Friday everyone! What an emotional week it's been, huh??!!! How did you do! Don't forget, today's prize comes to us from Laura at Adventures in Juggling, the book "Living Beauty" by Bobbi Brown. "Living Beauty is about creating a new ideal, a new reality, and a new aspiration for yourself. It's a guide filled with knowledge, secrets, and solutions to make you look and feel great."
Thanks Laura! Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAIRANNE!!! (My best friend in Georgia and also an HFHer!!!)

Down 2 lbs this week! And am up to 4 laps walking again (2/3 of where I was before surgery!
ReplyDeleteI too have lost 1 pound. But I am really glad when it´s at least a pound!
ReplyDeleteI'm weighing in 20 minutes early today. 1 Pound too! WooHOO!! I'm actually surprised I lost anything=) I'll probably lose 10 since I'm about to go outside and shovel my driveway and sidewalks! We had snowwwwwwwwwwww lots of it! Did I mention that I hate snow?
ReplyDelete1 pound here too.
ReplyDelete+3 pounds YIKES, so sorry everyone. It's been a challenging time lately. Hope to change that soon.

Stupid Halloween candy. I stayed the same this week after exercising my butt off!
ReplyDeleteI stayed the same. Halloween candy got me too :) Have a great week. 1 pound is still good, you know. 1 down is better than 1 up :)
ReplyDeleteI lost 2.4lbs! Woo Hoo ... finally moving down. It's been slow ... but I am getting there.
ReplyDeleteI had an awesome week - down 3.2lbs. I am now 137! Of course I still have more to go but it's nice to see that.
ReplyDeleteOkay - I can't do math this early in the morning. Disreguard the above. I lost 2.8lbs woo hoo! I had even written 2.8 down, I am losing it!
ReplyDeleteI lost 4 pounds this week! I am so incredibly excited and proud of myself. The last few weeks have been crazy around here and I haven't been able to get to the gym, so I'm really trying to cut back on what I've been eating. I now get to proudly display my 5 pounds lost badge! I'll be walking around today with a little added spring to my step and a big smile on my face!
ReplyDeleteDown 1.6lbs!!
ReplyDeleteI am down 1 pound this week. Dang Halloween candy and TOM. Bad combo!! :)
ReplyDeleteMy first gain of the challenge this week... not surprising though. I wasn't very disciplined, and I only (really) exercised 2 days and didn't eat as well as I normally do. The strep throat last week really wiped me out so I was feeling weak at the beginning of the week and really had no energy or strength. It's also cloudy here... and I know that effects me in a big way.
ReplyDeleteSo, I'm up 0.6 lbs... :(
This weekend I have a womens' retreat to go to, and I'll need to be very disciplined with my eating. I normally have 2 meal replacement shakes, and I may still do that for breakfasts, but there will be a buffet style set up for 3 meals a day plus 2 snacks... DISCIPLINE is the word for the weekend!!
my life would be better if i had more patience...but then again, i prayed once for patience and the Good Lord gave me FIVE children!
ReplyDeleteI am not playing along this week since I am giving this week's prize away. I can't wait to find out who won!
I lost three pounds this week! I can't believe it especially since I didn't make it to the gym at all this week thanks to this creepy crud I have been dealing with all week. But I did try to keep up my usual everyday activity level and water intake.
I have to say watching that fat ticker is so exciting. We are all doing so well and we all should be proud because we all have made that ticker move.
I lost 0.8 this week! I am proud of that because it is my 4th loss in a row!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy to report I'm down .7 lbs. today. It is sslloooowwwlllyy coming off!
ReplyDeleteone pound is better than NO pounds! yay for you!
ReplyDeletehaving a cold stinks, it's not that big of a deal sickness but it really makes you feel crummy. im glad you are feeling a little better.
once you take that spinning class you will realize everyone feels the same lack of confidence that you do too. it's kinda funny that way. just do it!
i had gained a LOT last week..this week i'm down 3 lbs of the gain. w00t. i've been so drained lately due to being sick & other things. i should FORCE myself to exercise, but i think i'm just straight up lazy (you can only use being sick as an excuse for so long lol).
ReplyDeleteo.k. off to post my hfh.
Big fat zero this week. I hope to be a LOSER next week!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a HUGE loss this week! A whole 0.2 pounds! Ain't it great? I also have a HFH post this week.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for more this week, but I guess you get what you worked for...down .2! Don't know why, I mean I hardly ate anything, I was sick most of the week. We even gave away most of the halloween candy.
ReplyDeleteUp one pound...damn Smarties and bite size candy bars!
ReplyDeleteI lost 0.8 this week, almost a pound LOL!
ReplyDeleteAnd this statement:
My life would be better if I had more ________.
I could fill it in with a lot of things: money, coffee, time, clothes, friends, acreage (heck, a backyard would be nice), etc. But, I am pretty happy nonetheless :D
Mark me for 2 lbs. LOST! Woohoo! Resisting the Halloween candy is paying off.
ReplyDeleteSorry everyone- the Halloween candy did me in this week. I am up 1 pound.
ReplyDeleteZERO AGAIN.
ReplyDeleteDown 1 pound this week. Sick today, thought the flu shot was supposed to help! :) Hope everyone has a great weekend and a successful week ahead!
ReplyDeleteNo change for me this week... I am pretty happy with where I am at!!! 5-10 more pounds would be nice... but I won't be disappionted if it doesn't happen!!! I am glad that you are finally feeling a little bit better!!! YAY!!!nontipjargym here you come!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm up 0.4 this week :(
ReplyDeleteNada. No change. Meh.
ReplyDeleteMy life would be better if I had more MONEY! Then I could join a proper gym with child care so I could actually get in a good workout. Oh and a personal trainer and chef wouldn't hurt either!
I'm a little late this week. I didn't have any weight loss. I think I'm going to weigh in on Thursdays when the kids are home on Fridays. It gets too crazy around here.
