Christmas Dress Challenge – Week Five – Holding Steady

This week I weighed in at 157.6 pounds, a 0.2 pound gain.  Right back where I was two weeks ago.  That’s just the way it is some times – nor harm, no foul.

DO-IT:  The Dress.  Picked it up from the store this week!!  Oh. My, Gosh.  It’s perfect!  It fits just a bit snug now and should be perfect perfect perfect by Christmas.

DO-IT: My  Weight Watchers points. I knew going in this was going to be a challenging week, with both Princess Pea and DirtBike’s birthdays,as well as some schedule conflicts that I knew would affect my exercise time.  I went over my daily point allowance every day, but I didn’t use up ALL of the weeklies and the activity points.  Pretty darn close, though!

DO-IT: Earn 50 activity points a week.  Oh sadness.  For the first time in forever, I didn’t get my whole 50 points this week. I did manage two self-defense classes with killer lunges (still sore) a short bike ride, my situps and pushups.

DO-IT: Consistency.  I would consider myself slacking this week, but then again, I’m probably my own worst critic!  I’m already heading into next week with plenty of exercise, hydration and a food plan that includes an abundance of veggies and not a bite of leftover birthday cake.

DO-IT: Hydrate.  Done!

DO-IT: I did not read a single page of Refuse to Regain this week.  I chose to work on a water model for work, reviewing an environmental assessment for a property that our my kids’ highschool is considering purchasing (I’m on the facilities committee and volunteer my engineering input when they need it), chaperoned an ecology class field trip for Princess Pea, and our entire family donated many hours to the Stephen Breen Foundation this week, helping host a dinner reception and a golf tournament.

DO-IT: One update post a week. Yes!  Both here and at the Christmas Dress Challenge Site.  Go Read It….I wrote about Consistency this week.

DO-IT: Link up to your weekly updates.  Done.

DO-IT:  Be supportive.  Yes!  Yes! Yes!  I’ll make the rounds again this week!

Hold Steady.  Keep the Faith.

Why I Love Jack Sh*t

He blogs about weight loss.  He’s hysterically funny.  When he’s serious, he’s spot on. This week, he talks about what it takes to commit to your own weight loss journey.

Lion

You’ve got to get stronger because this is a long, uphill climb, and it will take its toll on you, both mentally and physically. You’ve got to get stronger because time is not on your side, and Life will jump up and throw hurdle after hurdle after hurdle in your path. You’ve got to get stronger because me and everyone else that follows your story aren’t going to be satisfied until you reach your goals. ~Jack Sh*t

Read his entire post Here.  Really.  You need to read this.

Be a Lion. Keep the Faith.

Blessings…

It rained. From Saturday evening until Sunday afternoon – the most rain we’ve seen here in over a year.

Here is the current radar shot.  This passed through this morning, and there’s more on the way.
