    Well, I'm glad I was the biggest loser this week. Because this coming week will be bad. I'm already feeling bloated due to TOM on it's way. I'll be drinking lots of water and pushing through my workouts. The weekly challenge will have to wait. I'm not in the mood today to find things I like about myself. :grumble:

    WEIGH IN = 164.4. Not a huge loss, but a loss so I'm happy. Hopefully I'll lose 1+ lbs next week ;)

    I've been doing lots of Jillian Body Revolution workouts this week. Started them on Saturday and I've been getting 60 minutes of exercise in most days this week. I've also been tracking calories and trying to come in around 1550.

    3 things I love about myself? intelligence, determination, freckles. lol
    3 things I want to improve? Fitness (duh), be a better wife (I'm not a good one. lol), and do more activities with the kids.
    3 ways to improve? Exercise and eat well, be more kind and express my love more, and do more activities with the kids ;)

    Three things I love about myself:
    #1 I am a good listener. My friends often turn to me for sage advice and support.
    #2 I seldom hold a grudge for more than 5 seconds
    #3 I would do ANYTHING for family

    Three things I want to improve:
    #1 Time Management. I have so much on the go sometimes that things fall by the wayside. Sometimes these are things that are important to those around me so they feel hurt by what seems like a lack of regard for their considerations.
    #2 Fitness Level. While I've been fortunate enough to lose weight through Nutrition, I am nowhere near as active as I need to be.
    #3 I am scared to death of confrontation. I will keep feelings and concerns to myself to the point of becoming an emotionally depleted shell of who I want to be, just to save from wrecking a good mood.

    Three ways to achieve these improvements:
    #1 I have downloaded a productivity and management app on my iPad. It allows you to have tasks that you need to achieve and to assign them urgency levels. It will allow me to see everything I have on my plate all at once and hopefully allow me to better manage my time and resources.
    #2 Get up off my *kitten*! With my husbands help, I will make sure that I am as active as I can reasonably be without exhausting myself with being an administrator, wife, mother, friend, daughter, sister and myself!
    #3 Continue to work with my therapist. This one will take some time, but I'm up for the challenge!

    Great posts ladies! (It just occurred to me that we lost our only male in recent weeks? Is Panyg okay? Anyone know?)

    Here are mine:

    Things I Love About Me:
    1. I am smart. My brain is a sponge.
    2. I'm a good partner (friend, coworker, riding buddy, fiance)
    3. My child like creativity (sometimes it's goofy, but it's a whole lot of fun)

    Things I Want To Improve:
    1. My self worth and self opinion
    2. My physique and fitness level (weight included)
    3. My immediate anger response.

    How I Will Achieve These Improvements:
    1. Through activities like these! A lot of self reflection, and stopping to examine my successes rather than continuing to push towards the next goal.
    2. I am currently on a workout routine that involves being active at least 5 times a week. I think that I am doing fairly well with it. I can't wait for some warm weather and the snow to be gone so that I can integrate riding my horse more readily. It's a challenge now with all of the melting and freezing (ice build up).
    3. I'm doing a lot of work on this. I have several books that I am working through. Some of it is helping, but a lot of it is still a struggle. I have to stop and think A LOT on WHY I am angry. It's my body's go-to emotion and often covers up what I am really feeling.

    I talked to him and he's been really busy with work and house repairs, but he promises to be back soon :smile:

    Three things I love about myself:
    1. I'm a nice person. I know it's kinda dumb, but I try to be kind to others.
    2. I love my family with everything I have.
    3. I'm determined. I keep falling off the horse, but I just keep getting back on :)

    Three things I want to improve:
    1. Of course my weight.
    2. Time management. I have such a hard time juggling everything going on (school, work, kids, husband, housework, working out...you know, life) I seem to get overwhelmed and just do nothing :(
    3. Patience. I'm getting better, but still something I could work on.

    Three ways to achieve these improvements:
    1. Well, joining this site I've lost 21lbs. I've been yo-yoing here for a long time, but I will bust out of it. I will!!!
    2. I've sat down and worked out a schedule to try and fit everything I want to get done in a day. Hopefully I can stick to it, at least a little bit.
    3. I don't know about this one, but take a deep breath and walk away.

    Week 1: 146
    Week2 : 146
    Week 3:146
    Week 4: 145.2 FINALLY IT BUDGED!!!! I am so excited about this after seeing NOTHING for about a month and a half. Yes!
    Goal weight: 139.9999

    Things I like about myself:
    1. I laugh at myself a lot.
    2. I like my personality.
    3. I go above and beyond when others need help.

    Things I don't like, things that need improvement:
    1. Procrastination.
    2. Assuming the worst (when I am in one of those moods).
    3. I tend to isolate myself a bit too much.

    Things I can do about those things I don't like about myself:
    1. Re-read Feeling Good by David Burns and do the procrastination work sheet.
    2. Ditto, practice identifying and talking back to my fearful/pessimistic thoughts.
    3. Ugh, I love being alone, but when I force myself to attend functions I actually have fun. I need to break the habit of the automatic "no" when I am invited to do things.

    Starting Weight: 154.8
    Week 1: 153.8
    Week 2: 155.2
    Week 3: 152.6
    Week 4: 156
    Total Challenge Loss: +1.2

    End of challenge goal weight: 145 lbs
    Weight loss remaining to goal: 11 lbs

    Biggest success: I honestly don't know that I had one. Since I started on MFP, I have NEVER bounced around like this! The painters are in, so I know that has factored in to it a bit, but much of it is on me and my choices.
    Biggest challenge: Making poor food choices too often this past week. I'm perfectly okay with enjoy treats once in awhile, but it was too many, too often.

    I need to get this under control. I was doing really good and I can't let myself get off track now!

    Don't forget to get your weights in by midnight guys!!

    My Weekly Check In:

    Starting Weight: 165 lbs
    Challenge Goal Weight: 155 lbs

    First Week: 164 lbs
    Second Week: 161.8 lbs
    Third Week: 164.6 lbs
    Fourth Week: 163.8 lbs
    Total Challenge Loss: 1.2 lbs

    Weight Loss Remaining to Goal: 8.8 lbs

    I still don't get why I am at 163.8 lbs and not back to 161.8 lbs, but I'm going to continue to press onward. I am again worried that there is a plateau somewhere in my future. I rocked a pretty sexy dress last night at a fundraiser gala, which was a great ego boost. I need to buckle down though, I think I have been getting a little slack...

    Weekly Success: I guess staying under cals?
    Weekly Struggle: Not being deligent.
    This Week’s Personal Challenge: Lower sugar intake, up protein, get the exercise going again.
