Calendar Challenge - November

Mini Challenge Weeks 1&2

I've got 3 weeks left until my parents arrive for christmas on Dec 16th. Two weeks ago I posted on connect, challenging myself to lose a total of 39lbs in those 5 weeks (8.6lbs to lose at that point). My maximum loss at any given time in my on-and-off journey has been 38.8lbs.

Challenge Starting Weight: 215.8

Week 1: 213.4 (-2.4lbs)
Week 2: 207.8 (-5.6lbs)

It looks like I've currently got this one in the bag, so I'm amending my goal to be 40lbs down, putting my CGW at 206.2.

I've surpassed my original WW start weight now and I'm 0.6lbs away from the highest amount of weight I've ever lost on WW. I'm only 8lbs away from ONEderland now! It's SINGLE DIGITS y'all!!! And once I get there, I'm striking distance from 50lbs lost and from overweight BMI instead of obese BMI!

Turkeys

So last week I was down 28lbs. At the grocery store, looking at turkeys they were all mostly 14ish lbs each so I picked up 2 and said to my husband, "take a picture of me. this is how much weight I've lost."

On my WW group, I've got over 1500 likes at this point and I'm shocked! I guess it's a different kind of post than the usual before and after posts lol.

25lbs

As of now I've lost more than 25lbs.

That's heavier than my 20 month old weighs.

That's more than 100 sticks of butter.

That's more than 57 vinyl records.

That's more than 3 gallons of water.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Don't mind my mirror, my children are disgusting and I knew if I didn't take the picture, I'd forget. 

This is what 28lbs less looks like on me. 

Christmas Challenge Week 1

Started this this week. There were 8 weigh ins until christmas and I set a goal of reaching 35lbs lost by christmas (dec 23rd for me). That was a total of 10.4lbs in 8 weeks.

Progress:

Week 8 Weigh In

Lost 3.4 pounds! Again it was extremely unexpected. I was just hoping for the 0.4 but was surprised with the extra 3 bringing me above and beyond the 25lb charm this week!

I did similar to last week where I ate a lot of weeklies on sunday and stayed towards the high end of my blue dot the rest of the week and it worked again. Makes me nervous all week long though lol.

I've finally broke into the 210's! 8.2lbs before I'm at my original WW start weight. ONEderland is getting so close now! I'm thrilled!

100 Days of Why Day 58 & 59

Day 58
Because I'm tired of my wardrobe and it looks sloppy all the time. I'd like to get nice stuff and have it fit.

Day 59
Because food doesn't rule me. I am the boss.

100 Days of Why Day 54-57

Day 54
Because I'm tired of dressing in sweats and big shirts. I feel sloppy.

Day 55
Because I'm STILL working on listening to my body regarding too much of something... too much food, too much sweets. I'm awful at putting things I enjoy back if I'm just finished. I'll eat until I'm done.

Day 56
Because I'm experiencing less pain in my ankles, knees and hips already.

Day 57
Because hopefully that damn 25lb charm will be mine today! >:)
