Losing It ~ Week 7

Oh goodness! I barely squeaked by with a .2 lb. loss.  I am so happy to see a loss, but a bit disappointed it is not bigger. I have worked so hard this week! Since last Fridays weigh in I have done 3 hours & 45 minutes of Book Camp classes, 1 hour of Zumba and 2 hours of cardio… plus eaten very healthy. My body is just not releasing the weight and it is frustrating.  But hey, 7 lbs in 7 weeks is nothing to whine about!

Here are the stats:
Starting Weight for 2012: 264.2 lbs.
Previous Week: 257.4 lbs.
Current Week: 257.2 lbs.
Loss:  -0.2 lbs.
Total 2012 Loss: -7 lbs.

 

How are you doing this week?

Healthy Eats

I am trying really hard to eat healthy. I have one major problem… I like unhealthy food. Oh, that isn’t breaking news to you is it?
The Challenge I am participating in emphasizes  high protein and fresh vegetables. I don’t love most vegetables. So I thought I would share my list of loves, likes and dislikes and hates when it comes to vegetables. Just cause I know you are sooo curious about my personal preferences!

 

 

Loves

  • Cucumbers
  • Carrots
  • Green Beans
  • Beets – high carb
  • Corn – high carb

Likes

  • Lettuce
  • Cabbage
  • Swiss Chard
  • Peas
  • Spinach
  • Sweet Potato

Dislike

  • Broccoli
  • Celery
  • Onions
  • Peppers
  • Zucchini

Hate

  • Asparagus
  • Artichoke
  • Brussels Sprouts
  • Cauliflower
  • Mushrooms
  • Radish
  • Tomatoes
  • Squash

Now am I missing anything? My goal is to move the Likes into Loves and the Dislikes into Likes… I doubt I will budge much on the Hates.

What is your favorite vegetable or recipe?

2012 Losing It ~ Week 6

Yah! Another Loss! I am down 1.2 lbs again! That brings my loss for the year down to 6.8 lbs. I am really happy to see a loss because last week was a yo-yo. On my Monday weigh in for my 12 week contest I didn’t show a loss… so I must have gained the 1.2 lbs back over the weekend. But I apparently lost that plus the additional 1.2 lbs. I am hoping to stay focused this weekend and not have any sort of gain so I can show a loss at my contest weigh in Monday.

Here are the stats:

Starting Weight for 2012: 264.2 lbs.
Previous Week: 258.6 lbs.
Current Week: 257.4 lbs.
Loss:  -1.2 lbs.
Total 2012 Loss: -6.8 lbs.
