Yesterday ended up pretty good. Ate a good dinner, and went to Ross to buy a new dress for our trip. I ended up finding some great clearance dresses, one for $10 and another for $5.50. Super cute, and both size 10s! Then I came home and packed like crazy. I collected the toys we have bought for the trip and gift wrapped them to make it more exciting and started trying to fit all of our stuff into suitcases. So far it is looking pretty good, but we will see.
I am sore from my Calisthenics yesterday, my thighs and abs feel like they really got a workout. So that is good. Slept like a rock last night.
Now onto the Final Weigh-In.
Well, I didn’t go out with a bang as I had hoped to. Today was the final weigh-in for our Biggest Loser competition and I ended up gaining .4lbs, which isn’t even half a pound, but still disappointing. I had a feeling this might happen, my TOM started today so it could very well be water retention. So I admit defeat in the competition, but certainly do not feel defeated. I have lost a total of 9.07% of my body weight, and am fitting into a size 10, much too small for a size 12. Honestly, I fulfilled my first goal of 10 lbs in only 4 weeks, then went on to lose another 5 lbs! In addition, for the last 4 weeks I have been keeping measurements of my neck, waist and hips, and I have lost .25” from my neck, 2” from my waist and 2.5” from my hips, a total of 5”! So my progress is still showing, if not on the scale. I feel healthier and thinner than I have been in a very long time; so really, I have succeeded! I have more energy and stamina, and am actually helpful in many of our projects around the house. And for every pound I have dropped, I have picked up some confidence, feeling pretty good 15 lbs lighter! I have to say, mission accomplished!
Congrats to my fellow losers, all of the results are not in yet, but I can say that I have officially lost the equivalent of 10 dozen eggs, can’t believe I used to carry all of that weight around!
Today we did some more packing then headed to Pump It Up to meet up with “F” and “T.” We let the kids play and reflected on the last 8 weeks of Biggest Loser. We are all feeling so much better now, and looking better to if I do say so! We are officially Skinny Mamas!
Now we are home and I am looking forward to an evening out. We were planning to meet up with “J”s friends from work, but we just have too much to do. So since the sitter is booked, we are going to finish the stuff around the house when “J” gets home, have a late dinner and meet up with friends, should be nice! Even though the BL competition is over, I am still going to be watching my calories, it feels good to be healthy and eat right. Hope we can find a figure friendly restaurant!
