The competition is at its end! Thank goodness. A co-worker asked me how I felt at the end of losing 10 pounds. "Hungry." was my reply.
"Do you feel energetic and full of life?"
"No. I feel hungry."
Fortunately, I do not have a scale here at home. Because since the completion of my goal, I'm sure I've doubled back. In fact, last night we hosted a pie night with our neighbors, and fully took care of two pies. I have
The Take-Home
- The accomplishment for me meant dropping into a weight bracket that I've not previously seen in over 10 years.
- I have a new-found respect for hunger.
- The workout regimen required for this will be a great segway into my next goal: Windermere Marathon 2011. Last year I began training for that marathon at a weight of 193. This year I begin at 169. Somehow, I think that's gonna make a difference.
Anywho...if you took the 10-pound challenge, post your results here, and I'll make a trip to Spokandy next week. Cause you've earned it!
(I had this on your previous post but decided to move it to this one :) I've been resisting reporting because every time I weigh myself it keeps getting lower but the time has come. As of the 23 I was a solid 174 - that's 17 lbs lost and only 7 of it was baby so I made it! Yay me! and Yay for babies!!
ReplyDeleteI have had a very stressful 2 weeks, I have lost at least 10 lbs, but it was lose 2 then gain 2 and so forth. I am sitting at my original weight, so at least I haven't gained, yipee! Check back with me in another month and see how thing are.
ReplyDeletei made it to the goal, but i am afraid it was short lived. i haven't been on the scale since i have returned home (don't really want to know the damage at this point), but i am sure the scales have tipped back. the silver lining is that the quest continues and a healthier life is the goal....just not going to take the same route as i did for this 10 lbs. it was brutal being that hungry. a "new-found respect for hunger" is exactly what i have gained. :) no candy please, the games enter the next round for the holden's!!
ReplyDeleteErin,
ReplyDeleteWay to go! I rebounded nicely, and am back to my sustainable 175. There's no way I'd be there had I not taken the challenge, though.
Good luck on your continuance!
