Final totals should be rolling in!

Week 1 Weigh ins

We are now up to 6 people in the 5 week, 5 pound bet! Weight loss totals for week 1 are starting to roll in. Results so far:

Me: -3
J: +1
R: +1
A: +.8
Mom: -0.5

Husband: forgot his baseline... he might be 5 pounds in 4 weeks.

New Year Bet: 5 for 5

And... we have a New Year's bet on. 5 pounds, 5 weeks. 4 participants to date: R., J., Me, The Husband, and My Mom. Week one weigh ins should roll in soon. Buy-in is $5 to be given to the first person to lose and keep off 5 pounds for two weeks.

Some Catching Up to Do

There are 5 weeks left in our bet, and I have 6 pounds go to. My mom has only 3.5 pounds left. I have some catching up to do.

Overall, my mom and I have been stymied in our weight loss for the last two weeks. She, however, has been kicking up the exercise a notch and may come in with a super drop surprise at some point soon.

A cold got me down last week, but I am feeling better this week and walked for over an hour yesterday and today, and did some strength training. My mother reported that she has started to even throw a little bit of running into her exercise. Go, Mom!

Drop It Like It's Hot!

Me: Lost 2 pounds total (one last week). I worked out every day last week that I was at the hotel, even when I had to wake up well before the sun did to fit in a workout.

Mom: Lost 3.5 pounds total (3 pounds last week!). My mom completed 1 hour core training, 30 minutes of core training, and did sit-ups/push-ups most nights. She also got in a walk in her new shoes at the zoo. She's dropping it like it's hot.

Hoping to keep up the weight loss and exercise, even though my travel schedule is starting to wear on me again. My fourth week of travel in a row... with many more to come.
