April 30th starts week 12!

This challenge officially ends next week.  Monday starts week 12.  My suggestion for another challenge is to do a few less weeks.  That way we can all stay super motivated??  12 weeks is hard when someone is way ahead of the pack. You feel like you can never catch up. But I think it's been quite successful to help us get through what could have been a weight gain winter. At least we were all trying to stick to this challenge! Even if we maintained, at least we didn't gain.  Scott has had incredible will power for the last 11 weeks.  He has run for an hour every single morning (except Sundays) at 5:15am.  Those little points are very motivating.  Since Mary is the only one that paid, we will be returning her money and we can put it toward another challenge.  (or you can go buy yourself a darling new outfit.  Ryan doesn't even need to know)

I'm proud of us for even attempting to stick with this.  It's been fun to challenge myself...excluding the week I went off sugar.  That was the worst.  Seriously don't know how you Paleo's do it.  Momma needs her sugar!!

How is everyone doing? 

Week ?-Mary Ann

I am almost right back where I started, so I will have to be strong to get where I want to be.  SERIOUSLY!!!  So nope, didn't make my goal this week, just didn't think I would miss it by a mile.

Holy Crap!  The 4 pounds gained was NOT worth the travel junk food and Easter Candy.  It is punishment week!

CHALLENGE Week Eight

Since we are all probably in a bit of a rut, let's have this week's challenge be to share a favorite:

Breakfast (Mon.)
Lunch (tues)
Dinner (Wed.)
Snack (Thurs.)
Lunch (Friday)
"Treat" (Sat)

You can post them all at once or each day--even though points would be for each day.
Can't wait to see what all of you are doing!

Week NINE-Mary Ann

Holy Crap!  We are nearing the end and I am starting to panic that I am not going to make my goal.  I am hoping to increase my exercise (especially because I have the 1/2 Marathon and Woman of Steel races breathing down my neck).  I lost weight this week, putting me back in the place I was four weeks ago.  The place where if I accomplish my goal, I will weigh in at a weight I have been only once in the last 7 years!  It would feel really good to get there :) My goal this week is to lose 1.5 lbs!
