....and the bread.
....and the processed foods.
....and everything else that I am craving that I shouldn't be eating.
Back in December a friend of mine threw out a question on Facebook..."Would anyone be interested in doing a Biggest Loser competition starting in January?"
I debated for a bit, and then said yes. So did 95 others.
I have been battling 10-15 pounds that I lost and then found again, plus 5-10 more that have been obstinate enough to never go away. However, more than the numbers on the scale, I was tired of not fitting into clothes that I once wore.
So I decided to jump in.
The initial weigh in was Jan. 2. After lunch. This is important.
The first check-point weigh-in was Jan. 21. The scale showed that I lost 7 lbs. At first I was celebrating my victory.
But then it hit me that it was 7:30 in the morning. Before Breakfast.
After lunch....before breakfast....and I soon realized that my 7 lbs was really not 7 lbs at all. More like 4....maybe.
Fast forward 3 more weeks. Today was our second weigh-in. If you don't weigh in or if you don't lose weight, you have to pay $5 to the prize money pot.
The past 3 weeks have been....well....let's just say I put my $5 in my pocket and headed off to the weigh in. I nearly skipped it altogether, but my very frugal husband said no way - just in case I had lost some weight since the last weigh-in and didn't have to pay.
The good news: I didn't have to pay.
The bad news: In THREE weeks time I lost 1/2 of a pound. Half.a.pound.
Sheesh. Somebody needs a personal trainer.
At this rate, I may reach my goal by June...
of 2014.

I know a personal trainer. ;) Remember that it takes time...slow and steady wins the race. I think my weight watchers mentor taught me that.
