Here is another week gone by. Really quickly too. We decided to have our splurge night on Sunday evening, after my 18 km run. We had nachos, tea and some dark chocolate. So, my weight today is a bit off. I was expecting almost a 4 pound loss, and it turned out to be less than one pound. Due to my splurge. Goes to show you what eating at night EVEN with exercise and lack of sleep does. Hardly any weightloss. I am only one measly point from the 'healthy' weight range for my BMI. A point. Grrhhhh. Tomorrow I am sure I will be under that. Darn splurge...
I was down to 154.6 this morning. I am OK with that. I am toning up that is for sure, because when I was running on Sunday my fuel belt fell down around my ankles because the belt is too large. Last week I could still use it (still too big) and this week cannot use it anymore. Cliff will take my current one, and I will get a new one I have been eyeing in the store. And a new running skirt is in my future. Too hot to run in black capri running tights (and they are too big for me now.)
I have to say I have been laughing how people address me these days...like SCRAWNY, SKINNY, HEY you are wasting away, What are you doing? Hot Momma! (yelled out to me with a thumbs up on my walk to school and back yesterday morning.) I have to think about those comments and accept them and realize that the person on the outside is different. I am just the same me, but different in a better way. I have to allow my view of myself to catch up with what others see. I still see me as the big preggo, extra weight, nursing mom. I find myself asking my husband Cliff who I 'compare' to as in size etc. I don't know where I fit in that way.
I don't seem to be losing the balance of the weight I would like to lose. It has taken me about 3 weeks to lose four pounds. I am not sure. Also, I am breastfeeding still and maybe my body is just holding onto my reserve fat stores for this. I am not sure. I was hoping to be under and into the 140's by today. As I said before, I was close but splurged after my long run and here I am.
Kind of frustrating because I am not slacking, I am eating like I was two months ago. I am exercising even more and still it is here. I am still stuck in the 150's. I will work really hard this week and see if I can get under. I need to see that at least. If not, maybe this is where I hold for awhile. Until I stop feeding etc. I will see.
I have to still remain positive because I have taken off 83.4 pounds since November 16th. I tried on my 'before' bathing suit for Cliff and it is hanging off of my body (two piece tankini style) and I still haven't taken my inches measurements for some time. If I do not lose more by next week I will measure and post that for further motivation. I have no idea how many inches I have taken off my hips since January 1st! It will be exciting to find out that is for sure.
Tomorrow I am back to a straight run with my running group. Cannot wait to get active again!

Tuesday Weigh In - Week 20
Well, I am down 3 pounds exactly. FINALLY I moved down the scale again. I have had a great week. I ran my first 16.5K run this weekend, and it felt great. So, I am going to run my first half marathon on June 22nd. And, Cliff and I have booked into Victoria for the Thanksgiving weekend where we will both run the half marathon together (well somewhat) but the opportunity came up and so last night we booked our hotel already. I feel that will be a great way to celebrate my 37th birthday, and Cliff's 36th.
I now have 20.4 pounds left until my goal weight of 135 pounds. 20.4 I can do it! All of this running, and having concrete goals will help me! And my new found positivity LOL!

Tuesday Weigh In - Week 19 UP UP NOOOOO!
Yes, my weight went up. I knew it. Sucks but it is less than a pound, and I know it is water weight. I can feel it in my legs and ankles from the treats this week. It is amazing to see that when the triangle of exercise and calories in and out are not in sinc the weight loss doesn't happen. This week was a prime example. I exercised, but not enough and I had extra treats like 2 bellini's, chocolate peanut butter pie with whip. And an extra piece of dark chocolate here and there. And salty Subway. So, what do I need to do?
I need to get back onto my plan and do this. I am going to weigh 155 by next Tuesday. The water weight will come off, and I will be exercising a lot more. I have several 'food related' events to go to and I will have to work on that. Dinner out on Friday, and a memorial on Sunday. I will go for a long run this Sunday that is for sure!
Right now I weigh 158.4 grrhhh. Next week 155! I want to get out of the 150's! I will get out of the 150's but I need to work harder!

Tuesday Weigh In - Week 18 (I am now over 80 pounds LOST!)
This morning I weighed in at 157.6. That means I am down 1.6 pounds. No suprise that I haven't lost all that much. It is what you put into your body(food) and what you put out (exercise) and I think when I am breastfeeding still my body just wants to HANG ON TO EXTRA weight. So, but exercising only once this week (well I walked a lot back and forth to school) my body says forget it. And I hardly lose anything. Simple and true. My eating is always good. I need the exercise to lose any more.
It has been a slower week, but after 18 weeks heading into my 19th week I think that is OK. I have been at this for like almost 'half a pregnancy' and the experts say 9 months on, and 9 months off. So, there I go. The good news is it looks like my tummy skin is getting a bit more firm. So, for that reason GOOD!
I am thinking the triathlon will be a no go, just because of my FIL, and the upredictability of his cancer. One day is good, and whammo the next day is bad. I cannot train the way I want to these days. I just miss the days when Cliff and I could go exercise together. We don't get an opportunity to do that anymore. Cliff didn't exercise this week at all. And, his weight is creeping back up. I don't want that to happen. I still have more work to do. So...
I am however going to sign up for the half marathon clinic that starts mid June. The race will be in October. We may have to do the Kelowna half, as it is closer and cheaper when we have to bring six kids to that. But, I will do this as it has been my goal for so many years. I want to cross SOMETHING off of my list this year.
On Friday, Cliff and I will be married for ten years. One decade. Just like that! Like a blink of an eye. Not really a time for celebrating these days, but thankful to my sis Amy, Tyler for coming out here on the weekend to give us a 'night off.' We are so appreciative of this kind gesture. It is not often that we get out without the six kids. So thanks for that. And hey, Sunday is Mothers Day. I will go running in the morning :D

Tuesday Weigh In - Week 17
Well, I did it. I am officially out of the 160's!
Today, I am 159.2! (Down 3.4 pounds from last week) My waist is 29"
I will have a photo done tonight to update how I look! I am now 5 pounds away from where I was after I had my daughter Claire (I weighed about 154 pounds when I turned 30) And, I am 9 pounds from where I joined Weight Watchers in college when my boyfriend told me I was 'fat.' Yah. Why oh why? Anyways. Life moves on!
It is funny, there are two trains of thought when people see me. They tell me I look great and shouldn't lose any more. And then there are the others who understand me, and say yah! go for it. And yes...I am going for it. I have 24.4 more pounds to go until my goal weight. I plan on getting there by July 1st! (Just happens to be a Tuesday and the middle of summer! Perfect for bikini season right!!!)
Tonight is my splurge night. Nachos here I come LOL!
My grand total weight loss from November 16th is 78.8 pounds. Next week it will be over 80 pounds!

Tuesday Weigh In - Week 16
Well, it is a Tuesday. That means it is get-on-the-scale-and weigh in Tuesday. I did, and I went down 2 pounds exactly. I weigh 162.6 and I feel good about that especially because I didn't have the opportunity to get to the pool and do swimming and weights last night.
My two week challenge is done, and I took off 5.6 pounds in the past two weeks and I feel great about that. Today, I have my 'postpartum' check up and I will feel great going in for that knowing I am WAY UNDER my prepregnancy weight. This time going on the scale will not make me cringe. I can do a little dance this time because I have lost 75.4 pounds since my final pregnancy visit to the doctors last November!
My next weight goal I would like to reach is 159 pounds by next Tuesday weigh in. I want to get out of these 160's and into the 150's. With my good eating, and a bit more exercise it should be more than possible.
Hopefully my bike will be ready this week and I can get out there and ride! I cannot WAIT!

Tuesday Weigh In - Week 15?
Well, even though it is wet and dark today, it is Spring in my mind!
Oh yes, and I lost some more fat! I weigh 164.6 this morning. I am down 3.6 pounds! It was the lack of exercise that kept me from losing the previous week! Remember I went up 1.2 from the end of GBG. Every move counts! That is the secret! Hard work and eating right.
My waist is 30.5 today! Down 11.5 inches from January 1st! That is a crazy number to me! I cannot wait to take final measurements of my hips! I think my hips have had a drastic reduction in inches too.
Every piece of clothing my closet absolutely fits, and most are getting loose! It is time to get new stuff! My size 11's are getting loose, and all of my 12's are baggy in the waist, bum and legs!
I cannot WAIT to shop!

Weigh In - Up
I am up 1.2 pounds to 168.2 and I say, I deserve this number. I didn't exercise, I ate well. But I didn't get enough water this week, and not enough sleep. All those point to weight gain. But, I am back on with my exercise. Starting tomorrow. I am still going to have my splurge tonight because it is Tuesday and I am not going to beat myself up over 1.2 pounds. I could even venture to say I feel bloated and my chest is engorged because my baby slept through the night again in her bassinet.
I have a doctors appointment for my postpartum check up in two weeks. I would like to be down 5-10 pounds by then. That is my goal. My mini goal. Something to work towards.
I need something to work towards. I am so bored without a challenge that is for sure.
Here is to two VERY good weeks with good eating and exercise combined.
I will be updating this blog daily to get back into finding my momentum. I will weigh in on Tuesday! Then I can knock these pounds off!!
My Health and Weight Loss Affirmations:
I can get fit and I will be happy (thanks Jillian Michaels!!)
I am filled with energy and passion
My body is toned and fit
I love my body
Every day, in every way, I feel healthier, stronger and happier
I always recommit to my goals no matter what happens
I keep promises to myself
I am happy with who I am
I am proud of myself
I always follow through
I eat food that supports my health
I love exercise

FINAL WEIGH IN GBG - Tuesday April 1st 2008
Goo-Be-Gone Summary
Starting weight: 218.8
Finishing weight:167
Pounds lost this week: 4 (171-4=167)
Percentage of weight loss during competition: 2nd place: Cathy = 23.67% loss (I lost by 6.45%)
Total pounds lost from Jan 1-April 1: 51.8 pounds
My rings that were so tight and couldn't be worn, are now getting so loose they could fall off! They all twist around on my ring finger! Crazy! I believe that I may weigh less than when we got married?! I never had a scale back then. But I certainly look smaller than at my wedding. Just the weight is distributed a lot different due to all of my pregnancies and deliveries etc. Forever changed!
I exceeded my weight-loss goal for this competition. Originally I had planned on losing 20-30 pounds and I beat that by an extra 20 pounds! I have given myself a great head start. And now I have proved to myself that this is a game of mind over matter! I have discovered I have will-power of steel! I can accomplish just about anything.
I won't bother with my measurements or a photo right now. I will do an after photo of the WHOLE weight loss on June 1st. I feel a new bathing suit heading my way...and hopefully somewhere hot and tropical where I can wear it!!
I came in second place, and I also took the Miss Congeniality crown. That felt good! It would have felt way better to have finished 1st but I did my very best. What else could I have done? So, therefore I know I put in my best effort. Seriously I don't like losing LOL. But, I will suck that up and use that negative energy and put it into losing the last 32 pounds!
Cliff ended up with 3rd place. I am so proud of you honey! You did great! You look like the day we got married! SO proud! SOOOO proud of you.
As you can see I have sort of updated me blog. I have changed my ticker back to reflect my TOTAL weightloss since the day I had Courtney.
My total weight loss to date: From November '07 to April 1st '08 I have lost a total of 71 pounds! And now I have 32 pounds to go. I will give myself another 3 months to lose those pounds. June 1st is my next deadline! Perfect for bikini season!
My motivation is high, and I will continue to weigh in, change my ticker and blog every Tuesday until I hit June 1st. I plan on losing approximately 2 pounds per week. I will take my time in losing the balance of the weight. And, if I get to a weight that I feel comfortable with, I may just stop there! After all they are my rules ;D
Nothing really changes for me today, except now I am basically on my own, and nobody to email my weight to. The excitment is over, those 71 pounds are in the past and now I will concentrate of the task of losing 32 FINAL pounds. I will update my goals too. I need some thing to motivate me to see that 135 on the scale.
103 pounds lost is what I am after! 103 pounds! I know I will get there, because I have it in me!
I just wanted to say thank you to all of my support team who come here each week and comment and cheer me on. You do not know how wonderful that has been. So please come back and see me once in awhile OK!!
Have a great week!
And, I just want to say congratulations to Ted K for getting his 1st place! Thank you for bringing out the competitor in me! Thank you for helping me reach my goals! You are fierce Mr! Fierce! So, when are you taking us out to dinner?? ;D

Tuesday Weigh In - Week 12
I weigh 171 pounds today on the nose. 3.2 pounds gone this week and I am SO close to the 160's!! Next week I will kiss the 170's goodbye forever too! What an awesome feeling!
One more week left in the Goo-Be-Gone 2008. My FINAL weigh in next Tuesday! Then I am on my own to lose the rest of my weight! FOREVER!
Next week I will take a couple of full body photos, but I will not reveal my ORIGINAL bathing suit before photo (at 218.8 pounds)until I get to my FINAL goal weight of 135! Look for that this summer! I think the bathing suit will be falling off and may require a new purchase!!
I have 36 pounds left to lose! I would hope it takes 3 more months...April 1st - June 1st! Anybody want to do a second Goo-Be-Gone with me starting next Tuesday?

This morning I am sitting in a pair of nice workout pants from my sis that she gave to me before her trip and they fit awesome! I am also wearing my new Brazil tank top she gave me! Cliff told me last night that I look awesome and that meant a lot to me! I have been working so HARD!!!!!
My stats in a nutshell:
Pounds lost this week: 5.8 pounds

Tuesday Weigh In - Week 9
I am down another 4.4 pounds this week to 182.2 pounds. My waist is at 33 inches.
BMI: I am now out of the dangerous "obese" category and I have moved to the "overweight" category! I am getting healthier yay!
Tonight I splurge on nachos with my hubby. Cannot wait! And, watch the Biggest Loser. But of course!
I am now 7.2 pounds away from my Goo-Be-Gone goal of 175 pounds by April 1st 2008 (that was revised from the original poundage because I met my original goal of 20-30 pounds about half way through this competition!!!!)
On Saturday, I am getting my hair done! Yay! Yay! Yay!!!
On Sunday, we have Courtney's Baptism, and I will be the smallest I have EVER been out of all 6 kids! I am so happy! I think some of the family members will be shocked at how different I look! Can't wait to see their reactions!

I am now 7.2 pounds away from my Goo-Be-Gone goal of 175 pounds by April 1st 2008 (that was revised from the original poundage because I met my original goal of 20-30 pounds about half way through this competition!!!!)
On Saturday, I am getting my hair done! Yay! Yay! Yay!!!
On Sunday, we have Courtney's Baptism, and I will be the smallest I have EVER been out of all 6 kids! I am so happy! I think some of the family members will be shocked at how different I look! Can't wait to see their reactions!

Tuesday Weigh In (Not for Goo-Be-Gone)
Today I weigh 186.6! I managed to knock off another 2.2 pounds this week. I didn't think I would lose because I was sick and only did one run this week.
My waist measures 33 3/4" (down 8 1/4")
Today, we do not enter our weight with Goo-Be-Gone. But we do next week, and that will be week 9 already! We are getting near the end...
I feel good about my loss, and I look forward to getting back into my fitness program this week. I need it for mental health!

Weigh In - Week 7
I weigh 188.8 this week. I lost 2.4 pounds this week, and I lost another inch off my waist, so now I am down to a 34" waist from 42". I have taken off 8" in 7 weeks in my waist ONLY.
My husband weighs 187.8...boo to him. He was sick, ate Valentine cookies and didn't exercise and lost and now weighs less than me! Yuck. But good for him...lol.
I hope for a stellar week this week! Now that there about 5 weeks left, I hope to take off 10-15 pounds by the end of the challenge. I cannot believe the end is rounding the corner already!

Tuesday Weigh In - Week 6!
This morning I weighed in at 191.2! I am down 4.2 pounds! So close to the 180's! I will certainly be in the 180's by next weigh in, and hopefully reaching another mini goal! I still need to book my facial from the 199 goal darn it!
Today is my day off for working out, and most likely will splurge tonight on something like Subway. Or, I may save it for some chocolate on Valentine's day.

Tuesday Weigh In - Week 5
Today, I am down 3.8 pounds. I weigh 195.4!
I am really happy, and looking forward to getting out of the 190's! Getting closer! I would think in 2 weeks I will be in the 180's! Woo!
Today, my rings fit really comfortably even when my fingers swell. My veins are going down (still itchy/bruised looking) but nothing like they were when Courtney was almost 2 weeks old.
I cheated and booked my hair appointment (early!) but I know I will be at 189 by March 8th! Got to look good for Courtney's baptism! (No roots allowed!) Perhaps I will weigh less than all of the other 5 baptisms before?! Truly that would be marvelous! End off on a good note!
Today, I take a day off from exercise after 5 days this week of vigorous working out. And tonight we splurge! Yummy!

Weigh In Tuesday - Week 4
I am down 4.4 pounds. I AM UNDER 200 Pounds today! I am so happy! I reached my first "mini" weight goal of 199!
My waist is 36" today. That means I have taken off 6" in 4 weeks. Not too shabby!
Bye Bye 200's! Ciao! That means I am booking my pedi/waxing and a facial ASAP!! My hard work paid off this week! I am feeling so good! Next mini goal...195. That is only 4 pounds away. My next big weight goal is 189. I am 10 pounds from that. I will get my hair cut and styled shorter! Yay.
Yesterday, after my appointment at the surgeons I got a call. They have an opening for the end of the month Feb. But I have to stop feeding. I am not really sure why about that. All he said was 'he was not comfortable with that.' So, long story short. I talked to FVH, and to the Newborn Hotline, and also to a Lactation Specialist. They all say it is OK to go under general and breastfeed (just like when I had my gallbladder out)after Carly was born and she was 11 weeks at the time. Grhhhh. Such OLD SCHOOL thinking!! Get into the new millenium!!
So, I don't know. I am going to talk to my doctor today and maybe he can talk to the surgeon. If not, I will just defer and stay on the list. It is not worth the trouble. I just feel angry and frustrated. Oh well. Life goes on!

Tuesday Weigh In - Week 3
Well, as I expected I had a GREAT loss this week of 5 pounds something. I weigh 203.6!
Cliff ALSO had a great week losing 8 pounds something. We both WEIGH THE SAMEEEEEEEEEE...Oh well. I am happy for him, and for me. But I WANT TO WEIGH LESS than my hubby. Yuck. With time right.
With this weeks weight loss I am OFFICIALLY lower than my pre-pregnancy weight of 204. I have also reached a sidebar milestone, and now I am only 4 pounds to my first real goal of 199! Then I schedule my first ever facial!
Tonight we are going to splurge a bit on nachos, but reduced portion and stuff like cheese. They will still be good I am sure. I am also on my exercise day off. I need it after this week...
Well, I am off to enjoy the day! Cheers!
