Another Day, Another Cheat

Sooo it's Brad's actual birthday today. While I've had some tummy issues ALL DAY, I was so hungry at dinner. If it weren't for dessert I wouldn't have gone over my calories. But 1 slice of my Miracle Whip cake is like 293 calories, plus a scoop of frozen yogurt... I'm over by probably 300 or 400 calories, so I added $1 to my cheat pot.

Both Jana and Erin expressed a desire to get back into this and drop $5 into the cheat pot to make up for the last couple weeks. Victory! Tomorrow I'm gym-ing it up, and I went yesterday as well. Other than today, I'm doing pretty well this week.

Fingers crossed it keeps up haha. I didn't lose anything last week, but I didn't gain either. I want more loss... I want March to be a good month. I'd like to weigh 180 by the time it's over. That's another 5.8 lbs to go. Wish me luck!

Oops

Wow, it's been almost a month since we last update our blog. Fail.

It feels like lately the three of us haven't been as into this competition and we'd been planning. It's probably due to the fact that we all live in different cities and never see one another, but I'd really like us to get back into it. Record any issues we're having, talk about our successes. Work out as often as possible.

I've been keeping up by myself, and not really checking in with the girls. I want to check in more often and make sure all three of us are on track. I'm making sure to work out AT LEAST 3 times a week, and each time is at least 45 minutes of cardio on an elliptical or an arc-trainer at the YMCA. I probably only do strength training once a week, and I should do that more often.. haha. But I don't have a whole lot of drive to do strength training. I bought a Wii fit and now that I have a gym membership, I never use it. That was probably a waste of money... but if I continue to not use it, I'm going to sell it. I've been staying well within my calories every day, except for a couple of cheat days (which I have charged myself $1 for each time on here), but I'm getting into a rut. Same food every week, not a whole lot of variety! It's mostly because I don't have the money to try a whole lot of new things, so I stick with what I know, what I have, and what I can afford. Boring right?

Anyways, I'd really like us to try harder to keep up with this competition and this blog. Don't forget, it IS going to cost 2 of us money! Only one of us will be the winner!
