#172 Weekly Weigh In

Last night at weigh in, I had a loss. I lost another .6 (point 6) pounds making my total which brings my total weight loss to date at 34.2 I believe. A loss is a loss right? I know I should be happy that I am headed in the right direction but I can help but wish I would loose more than a half a pound each week. At this rate I won't reach my goal of 40 pounds at Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is 4 weeks away.

Last night I had to buy an new 3 month tracker. So in an effort to make a change, I decided that a New Book meant a New Challenge. Meaning I sort of created a challenge for myself. This challenge will last till Thanksgiving Day. So below are the rules of the challenge. Those that should accept will be able to reward themselves how they see fit.

The Rules:

Rule #1: Track everything that enters your mouth.

Rule #2: Drinking sodas including diet and caffeine free is prohibited. I think this rule will be the hardest for me cause I so love my diet coke. However Crystal Light is allowed.

Rule #3: No fast food of any kind except Subway. This means no McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell,  Chick-fil-a, etc. This may be hard as Rule #2 but if I reach my goal of 40 pounds then it will be worth it.

Rule #4: Earn more Activity points. This means, for me, to put my ActiveLink to good use. I must earn at least 2/3 Activity points per day. Last night at weigh in I had a light bulb moment; I have to my baseline with the ActiveLink before any activity points are recorded.

Rule #5: Cook more.

Rule #6: If you achieve the goal you set for yourself, celebrate.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.
