I accidentally skipped last week’s weigh-in.  But, that might have been a good thing because my birthday was right in the middle of last week, and it seems like every night I was going out to dinner, and it was ugly.  That being said, this past week has been a recovery from last week’s eating, so I guess I can’t be THAT disappointed at the results:

Stats:

• Initial Weight: 241.4 lbs
• Weight after this week’s weigh-in: 251.2 lbs
• This week’s +/- :  +.6 lbs
• Total lost:  GAINED 10.8 lbs

Not a big loss, but a loss. That is good considering the disaster that was last week’s weigh-in…

Stats:

• Initial Weight: 241.4 lbs
• Weight after this week’s weigh-in: 250.6 lbs
• This week’s +/- :  -1 lbs
• Total lost:  GAINED 10.2 lbs

What are your goals for this year?  I call them “goals” and not “resolutions” since resultions usually get broken.  So, what goals are you working towards in 2010?  Here are a few of mine:

• Continue on the BigRigg Challenge and get down to my goal weight/reduce my body fat percentage
• Continue to pay off debt
• Travel more
• Make my past my past

I might have a few more, but these are the biggies.  How about you>  Anything you want to share?

Happy new year!

The big change this week was that I cut out softdrinks from my diet (minus 2 meals).  It was really tough at first, but I replaced that craving with tea, and it seems to have worked pretty well.  Apparently softdrinks have a lot of sodium (among other chemicals), and that can lead to retaining water.  So I contribute some of this success to that change.

By the way, if you want to try some of the tea I was drinking, head over to Teavana’s website and look at the Raspberry Riot Lemon Mate.  It is so good!

VICTORY! Well, I mean, I lost a pound, but considering I have been working on toning up and gaining muscle, I think it is a success. Also, for this coming week, I have decided to give up soft drinks altogether. That means I will have to say goodbye to my beloved Diet Coke with Lime. It will be worth it though.

• Weight after this week’s weigh-in: 242.4 lbs
• +/- :  -1.0 lbs
