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!
:) Glad I could get you back on the tracking wagon! You're doing great Rachel!
