Weigh in #2

155.8 lbs
That's a 1 lb loss for this week.

I have no time to blog this morning, but I had to at least post my weigh in...

Work is hell. I don't want to be too hard on myself, I'm in the middle of an unusually extremely hard 3 weeks... I just have to hang in there... one day at a time, I will get through this...

I exercised this morning...

I can't wait to have more time to blog and read all your blogs...

Weigh in #1 + My excuses

156.8 lbs
That's a -0.4 lbs loss...

I can do better this week...

My excuses:

Stress - Stress - Work - Stress... Too tired... Don't feel like it... Scared...

Today my big challence is to not get all depressed over the project I've been working on for the last 2 years finishing in 12 work days... It's the fall, things are changing, it's scary, I'm sad...

BOO HOO...

I know if I keep a stable schedule - wake up at the same time, exercise, eat well - it will make this change much easier - this time I don't want to fall into the easy trap of 'self-pity'... I won't allow myself to be sad, or depressed... Right this very second I'm already trying to fight it thinking - oh, I can give myself a day to be sad... NO!!! Be happy, it's a great time - I'm going to start on a new project!! There are tons more reasons to be happy about this change...

My trick for when I'm depressed like that is - don't listen to any sad music or movies. Find the happiest songs, hang out with energetic and positive people... Be positive!!

I plan on doing just that today...

Weekend Day 2

I started the day by doing my first day of C25k week 2. It was pretty good, a bit tougher than week 1, but I got it done...
Biggest accomplishment here is that even though I have not exercised all week and lost track of my points yesterday, I didn't wait until my weigh in day to 'reset' - if I have a bad week, I usually give up and continue 'being bad' until the weigh in day, where I 'reset'... Not good...
Things can and will most likely go out of control sometimes, but you should always go back 'on program' as soon as you can... I need to remember that...
I counted all of my points so far today, and well, I exercised... Yay! :)

Off to read some blogs from the biggest loser challenge... part of this challenge is also to encourage others :) I just realized I got some comments here already! I hadn't set up the comment notification emails yet... Thank you for your comments! :)

Weekend Day 1

I usually go all off program on weekends, but I usually save points for that. This week I have no more weekly flex points available... And I'm starting by going to Cora's for breakfast... That's ok, I'll have something that's points friendly... I'm at 155.6 lbs this morning (weigh in is only on Monday...) Let's see how well I can do this weekend...

Weekly Flex Points

I was going to eat extra points today, felt like snacking... I would have had something unhealthy, most likely... but i didn't ! I stopped after using only 2 weekly points. That's a good day for me...

My goals for the weekend: exercising on the treadmill once, strength training once. Eat no more weekly flex points (I'm out of them anyways...) eats lots of fresh veggies...

What are your plans this weekend?

Biggest Loser - Blog Edition

I've decided to create this 'side' blog to join the challenge of

Biggest Loser - Blog Edition

This will be a good opportunity for me to blog in english... I'm going to continue posting on my regular blog in french, but for this challenge, I will keep this page up to date, less about life in general and more about my efforts towards weight loss...

This is really more for fun than anything - even if I will be taking on the challenge seriously... we'll see how long I'll last...

Join the group if you need the extra push!
