Healthy Heart Competition Week 2 Results…

I am still missing some weigh in numbers.  I hope you had a great week.  Here are the results so far....

Our top4 overall losers so far are: Melissa Leatherwood, DJ Conger , Paula Olsen and Louise Brown.  CONGRATULATIONS!!!

The % loss overall is great but the biggest part of the competition is reaching the goal you have set for yourself.  I am excited to be seeing some results myself.  I do great 2 days then tend to fall back 1 or 2 then try again.  I have set a pretty huge goal for myself but I know I can do it.  Don’t get discouraged if the numbers aren’t moving fast.  Often you will have a larger loss then stay the same then drop again.  Have a wonderful week and if you haven’t sent me your numbers, please do and I will update our list.

This weeks check in…

The week of Thanksgiving I was all over the place in my eating.  I lost several pounds and put them right back no. FRUSTRATING!!!  I was determined not to do that again this week and I didn’t.  Tomorrow is official weigh –in day but I have time today to blog before the busy week begins so here it is:

194

Here I am Friday after running.  It was fantastic.  It was great weather.  A storm is rolling in now but I have my fingers crossed that there are still a few good running days left.  I don’t care to run on ice and snow.

243

The happier scale.  Still not where I want it to be but I made huge progress this week.  Loss of 7 pounds!  WAHOOOOO!

278

Today after church I am really happy.  I ate way too much since it was fast Sunday (as an  LDS religion we abstain from food for 2 meals on the first Sunday of each month and donate the cost of those meals to the needy) but I had so much fun baking with the kids.  TRULY HAPPY!  I am letting myself feel the happiness! 

I am ready for another great week.  I realize that these numbers are really just first week working hard numbers since I blew off the first week and the rest will come after a lot more hard work and slower but it is a start.  Only 10 weeks left and 13 1/2 pounds to go.  It will be tough but I can do it!  AND so can YOU!!!

You must go to this link and read the talk by President Uchtdorf.  If you are a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or not it has a message we all need to hear.  It is amazing counsel.  It has changed my life and it will change yours too!

I am posting on Facebook by Monday evening the results but from now on for those of you not on Facebook I will also post the results here.  The negative % shows a gain over Thanksgiving.  Don’t get discouraged.  We are in this together. 

Congratulations to all of us that were able to lose over the biggest “eating” holiday of the year.  I didn’t work hard last week with my eating but this week I expect to see BIG numbers on loss.  I have been eating so much better.  I hope this has been a good week so far.  Have a healthy weekend and I look forward to seeing your numbers on Monday. 

For those of you that are local…. It is so fun watching you shrink!  I can already see it in your faces and the looseness of your clothes.

There is still time to join us.  I have a few drop out and a few join this week.  You just lose a week of weight loss is the only draw back to joining late.  Money is DUE tomorrow.  Mail or drop it off at 1812 E Cedar St, Eagle Mountain, Utah 84005.  All money will be kept in the bank until  the end of the competition and not at the address listed.

A New Start to Healthy Eating

This competition I am doing is my way of crying out for help!  I have no intention of winning overall. I am so hopeful that someone out there needs this change as much as I did the first time I did a weight loss competition and that this will change their life. I will reach my goal and I will document the process every step of the way!  My goal will be lofty but attainable with a lot of hard work.  With my Savior’s help and the support of my amazing husband and kids I can do this!

A scale with a tape measure wrapped around it tied in a bow. The display window says HELP!  White background. Dieting concept.

This past year has been a battle with my food disorder.  I don’t know what else to call it.  I have an unhealthy relationship with food.  I wish I could just eat to live but that is not who I am.  I eat to satisfy every emotion. I have been overeating and binging terribly for the past year.  It started at Thanksgiving last year when I just wanted to eat normally for the Holidays.  Normally?  What was I thinking?  Even people who eat moderately don’t follow any rules at Holiday time.  This idea of just enjoying food for the holiday season put me on the road to self destruction. I did not too bad through the spring and summer but recently it has gotten out of control.

I have done a pretty good job keeping my weight under control with running a lot up until the weather changed but now the pounds have come on fast and furious.  I couldn’t believe the scale today.  Not water weight this time but true fat gain.  I did this to myself.  One bite of pizza at a time.  One cookie at a time.  I even drank root beer last week.  I haven’t had pop in over 3 years!  I am so disappointed in myself and to be completely honest I am a bit ashamed to admit where I am at. I have let myself down! I feel like I am letting all of you out there down too!

I have been looked to as an example of positive change and healthy living and look at me right now!  I am a mess!  I don’t want to stay here though.  I do desire to change and I will change!  The last time I saw these numbers on the scale was in the Spring of 2010.  I hope to NEVER see them again.  I will conquer this food disorder.  This time will be different!  I will keep on the right course with my eating. 

So where am I at today?

Just wait till my “after” pictures on Valentine’s Day!  I can’t wait to see the difference!  My goal is to lose 10%.  21.4 pounds in 12 weeks.  I will be 193 pounds or less by Valentines Day.  I haven’t seen that number since March 2011 so it will be a tough goal to reach but I know I can do it!  I WILL do it!  What will your goal be?
