Weigh-In Wednesday {on my new unintentional blog design}
So onto the topic at hand. Time to see how we really handled the week when we step on the scale. We started a Biggest Loser contest at work last week and had our first weigh-in on Monday. To keep things simpler I'm going to report that weigh-in so I can keep track of my progress on here. Plus it lasts 8 weeks so it fits in nicely with the Shrinking Days of Summer Challenge over at the Sisterhood.
I lost 4 lbs this week.
4 lbs people...my hard work is finally starting to show...my scale is not broken!
I have been walking 2 miles a few times a week and have been tracking my food, humph....who knew that would help? Me...that's who. Its crazy who easily it is to cave into temptation and just have a little extra at dinner or sneak a handful of M&M's. This is all fine if you allot for those extra calories, which I was not doing previous. You'd be amazed at how much all those things add up if you start actually tracking them.
So how are you....did the scale make your day this week?
Don't forget to stop over and sign up for a chance to win one of 8...yes I said 8 Lands End swimsuits that Shrinking Jeans is giving away this Friday. They are awesome, love the fact you can mix tops and bottoms. Go enter here.

Congratulations!!! Well Done!
I lost a bit, but I am happy with it because my body does not give up padding easily and I had two birthday parties with cake. - June 16, 2010 at 2:48 PM
