Wednesday weigh-in!

Here we are in week 11 of the Weight Loss Challenge and I am so impressed with everyone's totals and exercise habits!  It's hard to lose weight under any circumstances, but many of  you have full-time jobs, kids, sick infants and other conflicts that make it hard to get to the gym, take a walk and make the conscious effort to eat right.  I want to thank you all for helping to motivate me each week as I inch closer to my goal each day. 

This week I lost 1 lb and 8 ounces (yes, I am now actually keeping track of those ounces! LOL) for a total loss of 23 lbs since the challenge started on March 9! I am 2 lbs from my goal for this challenge (although I will probably shoot for losing a few extra since I have plenty of time before my reunion). 

Challenges this week: the heat - now that the heat has kicked in, I have to walk really early in the day or late in the evening, which doesn't always work with the schedule.  I am just too old to be exercising in 96 degree heat!

What worked: Keeping focused on what I ate and not going for seconds at the dinner table. I am also still making an effort to not eat after dinner unless I am actually hungry. No snacking just to snack. It's not easy....

Looks like it is just about time for lunch: Veggie burger on 1 piece of whole wheat bread with green leaf lettuce and bruschetta (no mayo).  Side of carrots.

Did anyone watch the Biggest Loser finale last night? Wow - the sisters looked so amazing in those dresses!
