Weigh-In Wednesday Week 14!!!

14 Weeks Completed 

98 Days Down 

Starting Weight -- 294

Week 13 Weight -- 267.5

Today's weight -- 2-6-5.8! So that's another 1.7 pounds down!

Total Weight Loss to date = 28.2 pounds !!!




One of my big goals I had when I started out, was to have lost 30 pounds by the end of October. With just 1.8 pounds to go to reach this goal, and 5 days left in the month, I think I can do it. Anyways, my parents just got into town tonight and we are going with my sister and bro-in-law and their kids to Orlando for a nice long weekend.  I still got my late workout in tonight though, and I wanted to get this posted so I could make my Wednesday deadline. 


Before Pic... This is from December, 2010 when Jaimie and I went to see Wicked together.

And from the Side .. 

Sorry for not updating this more often lately. I have some other posts I want to finish and put up this week so stay tuned. I'll have another from our Orlando adventures coming up this weekend. 

It's a busy time of year, and with that comes more and more opportunities to hit major roadblocks. I've definitely had to pick my battles. For the most part I've been able to enjoy myself, while making sacrifices in other places. I'm glad I'm still on the downward trend, and I can't wait till I start closing in on the 50's .

It's getting late, so that's all for tonight. More to come soon...I promise.

Thanks for all of your support!!!

Saturday Links

Hey Everyone! 


Hope you're having a great Saturday so far. Going just hang out and relax with Jaimie today. Later tonight we have an Improv show at the Box in Ybor. Come check us out!


Anyways, thought I'd shoot out some really interesting links that I found this week. Check em out! 


1) The 20 Worst Foods in America - This list is just nuts. Do you have any favorites on here? 


2) 85 Tips and Strategies for Dining Out - Lots of Cool stuff in Here


3) The New Way to Eat Pasta - Thanks for this one Jess 


4) Finally here are 4 ab-toning tips from those Biggest Loser Club emails I get : 


    1. Suck It In    Work on your abs, even when you're not working out. One trick: Constantly pull your        stomach in to work your transverse abdominus, the deepest layer of muscle in your core.    This improves your posture so your stomach looks even flatter.
    2. Sit and Sculpt   Sit on a stability ball instead of a chair to work your abs all day long. It's a wonderful way to  engage muscles without even thinking about it.
    3. Crunch and Twist    Regular crunches are great, especially if you can lift your feet of the ground and make a 90-degree twist from side to side. Try 3 sets of 20—more if you can.
    4. Ride On    Do up to 10 minutes of bicycle pedaling in the air while you are lying on your back to work your abdominals. 


I hope those were helpful! 


Enjoy your Saturday everyone. Go Mountaineers!
