Today begins the Summer Challenge 2010.
Let's take care of a little business. :D
As I said in an earlier post, my goals for this challenge are simple. To stay on track, keep my calories under 1800 a day, to exercise more, stay hydrated and to get over my silly scale block. I think that this challenge will be good for me and assist me in reaching all of these goals.
Okay, now to the meat of the matter. The weigh in. I weighed in this morning, first thing. Of course, I would be puffy, this morning. lol Isn't that always the way. None the less, I get on me scale and took the required picture of The Number. :D
I weighed exactly one month ago and am down another 9.8 pounds, overall. :D
Start weight for this challenge: 366.0 pounds.
Okay, can I just gripe for one teeny second? My scale is a pretty good one. Accurate, doesn't complain when I step on it. (At least not so I can hear... ;)) But damn! It sure doesn't hold the weight number on the screen long. As soon as it flashes to show it has reached The Number, I have mere seconds, and not many, at that in which to snap that pic. Otherwise, I have no complaints about this scale. If anyone is curious about it, it is a Taylor brand digital scale. It will measure weight, body fat, muscle and water percentages and all that good gobbldy-gook. I just use the weight feature. I bought it at Drugstore.com. It was on sale and with shipping less then fourty bucks. So, if you need a good scale, I can heartily recommend this one. :D
All righty, then. Summer Challenge: On!
:D
Congrats on the nearly 10 lb weight loss!! That's great!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the Summer Challenge :D I know you'll do great!! Do you watch the Biggest Loser? Tomorrow is the finale - I am really looking forward to it. I like watching BL while I workout - I record it and use it for two workout sessions (ride my bike, do weights, etc.) because it motivates me watching others exercising. Plus, I love the show :)
I despise my scale. It sounds like yours is pretty good other than the short-term number display. Mine is so inaccurate. It isn't digital, so that is probably why. I need to get a new one!
Brooke, I do watch TBL. I also find it inspiring and motivating and I just enjoy it. :D
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the weight loss! I think you will do great!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the challenge! I am doing it too - I forgot my scale pic this morning though so may have to do it tonight which will then definitly be up from what it was - oh well! All the best!
ReplyDeleteThank you SM and Alex!
ReplyDeleteAlex, just think about the difference you will see on the next weigh in. ;) :D
I have lost 10 but have 64 more to go. Following you now.
ReplyDeleteI was searching for the post in which you gave your start weight but couldn't find it. But still, it seems to me you've lost quite a bit already and I am so proud of you!! I know you are going to rock this challenge!! Keep up the good work, darlin'! I know you can do this. Are you still getting out with Sabryna?
