Summer Training 2009

I've decided that I'm going to have this blog be a place I can put our weekly training schedule as well as how I feel during and after workouts. We have a lot of events going on right now and I want to keep a journal of them and have something to look back at when I need motivation.

And the Winner is...

We did our final weigh in, took our measurements, and pictures.

Kathy Lost:
Weight: 19.5 lbs
Inches: 12
Body Fat: 5.7%

Timmy Lost:

Weight: 24 lbs

Inches: 12.5

Body Fat: 4%

So the problem is....who is the winner? Timmy won 2 of the 3 but the rules were body fat % and I won that. I think we'll call it even and just be so dang happy that we both lost so much weight.

It feels so great to be back to pre-prego weight within 4 1/2 months. It's a record for me. Now we have to maintain through the next month of holiday parties.

It's been a while

It's been way too long since I've posted updates on here. We are just about to be finished with our contest. Next week is the official end so we'll take "after" pictures, do our measurements and one final weigh in.

I am down 18.6 pounds total
Timmy is down 22 pounds
Todd graciously left the contest when he got his new job - traveling didn't work well with his diet - maybe next year...

Broken

Our brand new scale hasn't been working so we haven't weighed in for a few weeks....Timmy got it working tonight so we're back on track for a weekly weigh in this Friday!

10 Secrets of the Effortlessly Thin

I liked this article.

Here is the summary with my comments on the side:

1. They don’t diet (I usually don't diet - only after a baby)
2. They keep track of their weight (I always know about what I weigh)
3. They exercise regularly (definitely - I LOVE exercising)
4. They don’t solve problems with food (nope I use shopping to solve my problems)
5. They stop eating when they are full (I'm pretty good at this)
6. They don’t surround themselves with temptation (I try to keep good food in the house)
7. They allow themselves treats (oh heck yeah)
8. They eat breakfast (I have to eat breakfast cause I'm starving after 6:00 am workouts)
9. They move, stand and fidget more (I am a fidgety person)
10. They don’t skip meals (I'm usually too hungry to skip meals, but I do it sometimes)

Weigh In - Week 5

WOW! This week was BAD!!!! I ate ice cream pretty much everyday and since I didn't shop last week ate out way too many meals. And now I'm leaving for Vegas for the weekend so I'm not starting off next week very good either. Oh well.

Kathy: I didn't gain any weight but I didn't lose any weight.

Todd: Up 2 lbs (traveling for work all week will not make this easy)

Timmy: Down another pound this week - way to go!

Weigh In - Week 4

I was VERY stressed about our weigh in last week....I had a hard time sticking with the diet but I still ate pretty good and only had a few extra treats. And I worked out HARD last week. I'm getting stronger so I get more out of my workouts.

Kathy:
Lost 2.5 pounds

Timmy:
Lost 2.5 pounds

Todd:
Same weight as last week (he's going to rededicate himself)
