Still Going Strong

I know, I know, I have cute sweet smart babies, and I should probably write about them sometimes.  But, not today! :)

Today wrapped up week six of the Ultimate Loser Challenge.  I am excited to say that, out of 22 people, I AM WINNING THE CONTEST!!  I have been working out at least two hours each day (and trying to stay moving even when I am not at the gym) and have been logging every calorie that I eat.  It is paying off!  I have lost 26.8 pounds since I started six weeks ago!  The contest is judged by percentage of body weight lost, and right now I am at 10.24%.  I have a lot of great competition.  These ladies all totally kick butt!  But, that is a good thing because they definitely keep me motivated.

Four weeks left of the competition and I still have some big goals to accomplish. 

The Ultimate Loser Update

I am feeling super excited about The Ultimate Loser again.  Last week and the first half of this week was gloomy, but my knees are *mostly* better now and I am back to the Gym-Three-Hours-A-Day routine.  The weigh-in today left me 6.2 pounds down.  Wahoo!

Frustrating!!

I have been so excited about this Ultimate Loser experience!!  I have given it everything I have to the point of puking!!  And now, for almost a week, I have been unable to do any weight bearing exercise.  That includes eliptical.  And I am FRUSTRATED.  It is only a ten week program and, after the two-three weeks the doctor estimates I will be out (patella-something-or-other) I am feeling at least a little short changed.

I am feeling lucky to have good trainers, though.  I will be doing separate workouts (upperbody) while everyone else gets the real thing, but at least I will have the help of some super-knowlegeable people.  And I am still in love with my Exerspy and my Dotfit program, so that's a plus.

My second weigh-in (last Friday) left me down another 3.8 pounds, so even without the exercising I am off to a decent start.  Just imagine if I could really give it my all...
