That is almost 11 pounds and although I thought it would come off faster, the whole thing is getting a little easier. I know that I am only tracking what I lose during this competition, but I was reminded this week that since February I have actually lost 31 pounds. Paul handed me a 30 lb flat weight so I could see what my body used to carry around - and it was heavy! Also pretty excited that I am getting close to breaking a really big number...one that I haven't seen in over 10 years!
I am still not sleeping better like they said I would. Tracy attributes this to the fact that I insist on working out in the evening. I am sure she is absolutely correct, but so far I haven't been able to drag myself out of bed to work out before I go to work. I don't know that this week was the best one to choose to try to do it as I am battling a cold, got a new boss, had to sit through 2 days of riveting regulatory training and have crazy repairs required on my car. STRESS!!!!
But I did discover that there is a rule about going to the gym with a cold. If it is from the neck up then you are okay to go and moderate what you would normally do. If it is from the neck down (or a fever), you need to stay away from the gym for 2-3 days until it clears up. So, since it has taken up residence in my head/sinuses I have gone to the gym all week...I didn't do cardio on Tuesday though so I don't get out of going this weekend. It is kind of hard to do cardio when you can't breathe though :} I even had to use my puffer this week - first time in months!
Telling you people....there should be bonus pounds lost for going to the gym when you just want to crawl under the blankets and sleep :)
PS - I have now burned over 20,000 calories since the beginning of this crazy trip!!

That's GREAT!!!!! Keep it up!
(I'm soooo jealous! My scale has not budged all month. boo! : (
That's awesome!! Kudo's for going while sick - you definitely deserve bonus pounds for that!
Getting in to the habit is the toughest part my friend.. losing the first 10-15 lbs is the hardest. You have already pushed water up the hill and soon you'll be able to ride the wave as a result! Very proud of you and YES bonus points for doing it when you are sick..don't know that I would be that motivated! HUGS!
You rock Chrissy, I'm so proud of you!! I wish I was so motivated! PS-Your 11 pounds lost is very noticeable.
