I thought since my co-workers and I just started a Biggest Loser competition...and we weigh in on Fridays....I would take this opportunity to check in and tell you about my weight loss and work outs! Oh, and food. Always food. I'm calling it...Biggest Loser Fridays. Genius, I know.
Since I was out of town on Monday (our initial weigh in day) I had to weigh in on Tuesday this week. That only left me with three days of "dieting" before the weigh in today. Eek! Tuesday and Wednesday I hit the gym hard with new classes. I tried out Boot Camp and Cardio Circuit, both of which kicked my booty in a major way. I also did my old standbys of Yoga and Pilates as well as some lifting and cardio on my own. I cannot express to you how sore my little abs are. Well, they're not so little...so I guess it's a good thing they're sore!
I also did great on my food intake. I'm back on "poor girl Weight Watchers" AKA: doing it on my own. I stuck strictly to my points both Tuesday and Wednesday.
Thursday I had a dinner date with a friend at Bonefish Grill. I had never been there before so I checked out their menu online. I couldn't find any solid nutrition facts so I just used common sense. I went into the meal with 8 points left and ordered grilled tilapia with no sauce and some veggies for my side. That's it! And drank water! So I think I did just fine.
At the weigh in I lost 0.5 lbs. It was quite a bit lower than I hoped for but I'm trying my best not to get discouraged. I did only have 3 days so I can't wait to see what I can do with 7! And the people at the site are doing fantastic! One guy lost 9 lbs! So far this morning we have lost about 40 lbs. total and only half of the people participating have weighed in. I'm really excited about the program and the success it is having thus far. Hopefully next week will bring more of the same (except a little more of a loss for me please!).
Hope everyone has a great weekend! We have NO plans so I am completely stoked!

Any loss is a loss! Great job!!! That is success! And can I just say way to go on looking online before going to the restaurant! That is something I need to start doing!
I am so rooting for you.

Dude... 1/2 pound in 3 days is kind of amazing. You can do incredible things in 7 days...especially since you spend 5 hours a day at the gym! ;)
.5 is better than nothing! Keep it up!
.5 lbs in 3 days is great! That's an average of a pound a week - which is healthy! You are a rockstar. :)
No big plans this weekend - Habitat for Humanity build tomorrow morning & then dragging my husband to IKEA since we didn't go last weekend. :)
I started working out again and I have gained....bummer. Keep up the good work.
You're doing great! Half a pound is something to be proud of! Way to go!
You lost! That's good! That's all that matters! That's a success! Good work, my friend!
I just found your blog today - super cute! I've recently become a Biggest Loser fan....just in season 8 because a friend of ours (Sean Algaier) was on the show. I've been hooked ever since! I also am on a weight loss journey, so I'm anxious to check in with you and see how you do! Good luck! =]
