    So I'll start to discuss NSV's.

    I HATE burpees. I have no upper body strength, and I honestly feel pretty stupid jumping all over the place with my shirt flying abouts. Well, I have attempted boxing several times, and each time somthing takes me away from it (family, sickness, finances...)

    Anyway, since I have been back the last few weeks, I told myself I was going to conquer this feat. I have made myself do the burpees, punches, pushups, etc. I feel like my strength is increasing. I feel strong! The burpees aint as bad. They still suck. My shoulders are finally feeling like they should. I feel great!

    My turning point was a photo of myself a few weeks ago at my sons bday party I saw a pic of my arms and was like EEEWWW.

    So, if I can get my strength and arm fat and stomach fat under control by CHRISTMAS then I will be stoked. Getting my strength up will only benefit my weight loss goals!!!

    Wow, everyone is doing such a great job - y'all are truly an inspiration to me!

    So.... this week (and last) are why I weigh every day, and as a result am reluctant to fully trust the scale, which this week reports:

    1. CW = 137.8
    2. Weight lost = 5.2 lbs (uh, yeah... I DON'T THINK SO!)
    3. NSV = last night as I begrudgingly did my 15 minute jog, I was shocked to find myself at my half-way point so quickly! AND the whole jog only took 13 minutes. It's working... I'm getting better at this!
    4. GOAL = I decided to pick up the c25k program... starting in week 5, I think it is. I'm close to my goal weight/body shape now, so want to re-vamp my exercise routine to something that doesn't consume all of my free time. It's still going to consume most of it, I'm afraid, but that's just the way of living a healthy, active lifestyle.
    5. Weight to go until Elf Status = 2.8 (again, if we can believe the scale today)

    Last week the scale told me I weighed 143.0 on Wednesday... my high in quite awhile. Today is the lowest weight I've seen in years. I've been doing well on my hydration, but I know that last week I was retaining water (Tuesday dinner was sushi (i.e., soy sauce) and THREE Saporos). Last night (all of yesterday, really), I ate well and didn't consume as much sodium as usual (skipped the pretzel snack!). So in one week I'm seeing two extremes. What's my real weight? Don't know, don't care much. Tummy is looking better, butt is considerably less flappy. All good!

    Has been super frustrating since starting on this journey. Plus side is that I have only gained 3 pounds since I got back from camp (where I lost roughly 20-25 pounds in 4 months).


    1. Current weight (optional): scale hasn't moved
    2. weight lost since last week: still the same
    3. Other accomplishment or NSV (non scale victory) for the week: I fit into another pair of jeans I hadn't been able to in 2 years!!!
    4. Goals for next week: find time to work out and stop making excuses!
    5. weight to go by Christmas: 20 lbs
  • Hello!! Can I Join? I found the group following My friend Lynette - but forgot to check in on Wednesday. This will be from my Wednesday Weigh in - I just started back on plan on Sunday so I was 3 days in by this point..


    1. Current weight (optional) : 233.6 lbs.
    2. weight lost since last week : 3.2 lbs. ( was 236.8 on Sunday)
    3. Other accomplishment or NSV (non scale victory) for the week : the Biggest NSV I've ever had, and that was changing my diet freed me from almost 2 months of consistent abdominal pain.(was starting to notice this on Wednesday, but it's been a week officially now)
    4. Goals for next week: Keep following the new diet plan, learning more variety and start adding in some exercise (eventually getting back to Crossfit workouts)
    5. weight to go by Christmas : 26.8


    Ideally, I'd like to hit around 150 with good muscle tone. That's a ball park, but I'll know when I get there. I might have to go to 145, or might find that 165 is fine. No interest in being 'tiny' just healthy and look decent. I'm probably too old to be 'smokin' anyhow :) LOL so I'm guessing I have about 65-80 lbs overall to lose.

    It'd be sweet to lose close to half that by Christmas. Fingers crossed! :)
