16 Lbs. Down, Many More to Go...the Battle Begins

Today was midpoint measurement day! 6 weeks since the start of the challenge! It's official, I have lost 11 lbs. since our first challenge weigh-in for a total 16 lbs. since I started eating clean and being more active. I have NEVER lost this much weight this quickly and WITHOUT going to the gym for hours and hours, doing high-impact exercises and lifting weights every day like I once did.

We also did a Quick Fit extra credit, where we had to do push-ups, stand on one leg (test balance) and do a flexibility test (see how far you can reach past your toes. My back is still a little sore and I kept cracking up when doing the balance test because you have to close your eyes when you do it, so I failed those. But I did do 20 push ups, which I am particularly proud of because usually I struggle to do 3!

I am very happy BUT now the battle begins. Men lose weight a lot faster and more easily than women. Women carry more fat than men, after all, we were made to bear and nourish children. Men were made to be hunter/gatherers, thus, have more muscle mass. I found out that some of the men in the challenge have dropped a significant amount of weight! Yey to them but BOOO because I REALLY have to work that much HARDER to try to win! My brother lost 5 lbs. in 2 days and the damn guy is eating Hooters wings! WTF!

My plan is to step up my weight training to every other day, and to burn at least 2500 calories every day. Also verrry carefully measure and log everything I eat, down to the damn sugarfree mints! More water, more water, more water!

I needed to buy another Wii Remote for the Gold's Gym Cardio Boxing game I bought and this machine was outside:

LOL I don't know why, but my mouth watered just looking at it! Hahahaha! Fuggedabout it!
