Week 35 - Late Post

I was sitting at the computer when I realized that I never posted my weigh in last week.  So, here is my post, very late and short.  I weighed in on Friday and did post a loss my new number is 162.8.  That is a loss of 3.8 pounds.  No, I'm not happy with the loss.  Well, I am happy I lost, but I'm still heavier than my lowest weight and I'm still yo-yoing up and down.  I have challenged my cousin to an "easy" challenge this month.  Since we are both around the same weight, actually she weighs less right now.  So I've told her, no numbers, no "I want to lose 15 pounds", just let's see who can weigh the least at the end of the month.  So if one of us has a really bad month, we may not even have to lose a pound and we could still be the lightest!  I secretly liked being just a little lighter than my cousin and I want to be able to say that again.  I was like it when I know I weigh less than my husband, which right now I don't.  And my cousin doesn't weigh less than him either!  Off the subject a bit,  how do men eat the way they do and not exercise and STILL lose weight?  I would never be mean about weighing less, I just feel so much better about myself when I can think, I'm less.  I've always admired Chris for her since of style and her ability to keep the extra weight off her body.  I realize now how much work it takes to keep those extra pounds at bay and it makes me admire her more.  Well my consultant and I talked about ways to reward myself when I reached mini-goals.  Since I don't seem to be doing that very well lately and made goals for weekly exercise also.  I have to say I'm really having a hard time right now staying motivated to exercise when I really don't have any clear running goal.  I feel like I'm lost with no direction.  I made of goal of running three times a week and core work twice.  Let's see if I can make that, so far I've only run once this week and I've done no core work.  I also promised to buy myself one new work uniform when I reached my new mini-goal of 154.  As I said I'm having a very hard time getting myself on the treadmill to run, when I don't have a race to train for.  I've been searching for something in this area, but still looking.  I was looking at a Jingle Bell run, but it was closed for registration and I'm not sure if it was full or just not opened yet.  Will have to check into that again.  So that the short update for this week.   And I'm glad the elections are finally over.......can we all get back to work now????   Next weigh in on Friday for Chris and I and Saturday for Jenny.  Til then, keep moving everyone, that includes me! ~ Darcy
