Well.. another Tuesday has come and almost gone.. Not as happy with the results this week ... I am .2 lbs up on last week.. This totally sucks! However, I am not as upset as I normally would be! I wish I would've lost, but I will take a slight gain as I have been running and walking a LOT since my last weigh in! Like I said before, I've got a ton of stuff coming up from Birthdays and Vacations to a 5K! Lots of planning, training and packing! Wouldn't trade it for the world.. I've traded candy bars and candy for waters and running... It is not the most fun (at this point), but it definitely makes you feel better about yourself!

Truth Be Told Tuesdays ~~May 24~~
Weighed in today and needless to say, I am not overwhelmed by my weight loss, but I still lost. I am down .2 lbs from last week... It really is almost a downer because I didn't go crazy last week, but I guess I didn't do all I could. Definitely going to step it up a notch from this point forward! I definitely have a lot of tests coming up as well: Bryson's 2nd Birthday (6/5), Outer Banks, NC (6/18) and NYC (6/23)! June is going to be tough for me but I am ready for the challenge!
Goal: 75lbs
Gain/Loss: (27) lbs-- 36%
To Go: 48 lbs -- 64%
How am I going to be ready for this challenge? My friend and I have decided to add a new goal to our weight loss program (that we are doing).... We are running a Half Marathon on Sunday, October 23 in Myrtle Beach (http://runmyrtlebeach.com/site80.aspx)! CRAZY I KNOW! However, we are not running this race to finish at a certain time (besides under the allotted time), we are running to finish! We are also going to participate in a 5K in June and a 10K in July (and will repeat that in August and Sept).. This will help us get prepared for the Half in October! We are very excited and have officially started our training program as of yesterday, Monday May 23! I made my husband take a photo of me for my first day (it is like Kindergarten)! Wish us luck! And obviously I will keep you posted ....

Truth Be Told Tuesdays ~~May 17~~
I am pretty sure that I wrote up a post for last week, but guess I never posted it. Quick summary for last week: We started the weight loss challenge @ work! I am on a team of four women (and one honorary member) and we have named our team "The Meltaways"! We weighed in last week and I had lost only .6 lbs... Not great, but it is better than a gain any day!
Let me just say that this week.. "The Meltaways" are melting away! I weighed in this week and LOST 3.6 LBS! And so far my other team members have lost 3.8lbs, 5.2lbs, 2.2lbs and I am still waiting on the last one (but I know she lost)! We are doing GREAT!
I am very shocked at this weight loss, but not terribly.. The reason I say I was shocked is because I weighed myself at home this morning and expect an almost flat week, but I guess I can't base my weight on the scale I only check in on on occasion... Very happy today! Very much so! I am officially over the 20lb weight loss mark.. Make it 22lbs to be exact! And like I've always said.. 22lbs since the very beginning but 26.8 lbs since the beginning of my blog! Love it! :-D This is going weigh better than I expected it to (*haha*)! Until next week!
I'm going to start posting my current weight loss goal status (this started with the Blog, so it will coincide with the Blog weight)
Goal: 75lbs
Gain/Loss: (26.8) lbs-- 36%
To Go: 48.2 lbs -- 64%

Moment of Truth Mondays ... 5/2/11
I want to apologize for missing my post last week.. there is really no excuse for why I didn't blog my weight GAIN! I unfortunately gained 1 lb last week (Stupid Easter Bunny)... Haha... The Easter Bunny used to not stop at our house, but Mr. Bryson now gets visits from him! Ugh!
So I want to say I am sorry for not posting this unfortunate gain sooner... I had a lot going on at work (as it was Earnings Release week) and knew that it wasn't going to be a good week for me.. But I took it in stride, as I said to myself... "Hey.. 1 LB... Not bad for a bad work week and Easter!".. Plus when I weigh in here @ work, I tend to wear the same type of outfit, to make sure I have a little consistency.. The day I weighed in last week, I had jeans on and wet hair.. when normally I have lighter weight dress pants and dry hair.. Haha.. Also, I failed to mention that last week was the worst weather week I have ever been through in a while.. so I stress ate as well (since Storms are a phobia of mine)...
However.. a pound gained is still a pound gained, no matter how I look at it!
THANKFULLY, that week is over and a new week has begun... I weighed in today (with dress pants and dry hair- haha) and I have lost 2.4 lbs since last weeks awful weigh in! Bringing my total up to 17.8 lbs since the beginning of February and 22.6 lbs since the beginning of blogging!
This week I am also going to get back on the wagon of tracking my calories... last week I didn't do that good of a job and my friend called me out on it (on the My Fitness Pal app on my iPhone)... It has a wall (like facebook) and it said that Rachel M has not logged in for 3 days.. and my friend said "Where are you?" Yup.. she did.. she called me out! I am ashamed, I am back on and re-tracking my calories Katie! :-D
My friend and I saw online (here at work), that they are going to do a weight-loss competition here... It officially starts, Tuesday May 10th and ends Tuesday, Aug 9th. My friend and I have decided to form a team to give us additional motivation. The team with the highest total percentage lost after the final weigh-in in August will be declared the winners! Each member of the winning team will receive a $250 voucher toward the purchase of a gym membership or home fitness equipment! How awesome would that be! That would be enough money to buy an Upright Bike for the basement or a Dumbbell Set and a different Upright Bike! Oh, the fitness stuff I could buy with that!
I don't think we are going to win as there are some hardcore people here at Lexmark. However, I think it will be good for us... So Moment of Truth Mondays are moving to Truth Be Told Tuesday (have posted a few of these before, but this is the official announcement)! See you then!
