Week 9 & Week 11 Weigh In



Yup, that's how I'm starting off this blog. FAT. LOL:) That's a picture of me, HAPPILY indulging in a brownie sundae from Sunset Grille in Ocean City. Absolutely amazing!! I loved every bite!<3

Anyways, let me tell you my results from my weigh in before I went on vacation, so, two weeks ago.

As you can see from my last blog, I only lost 0.6 pounds. Not so great. Well, that's was on Thursday, June 9th. Then I had to weigh in again on Tuesday, June 14th. So not even a whole week between the two weigh ins, unfortunately. Here's how it went... :(

Previous Weight - 179.0

Current Weight - 180.0

Gained 1 Pound!!!!

Total Weight Lost - 51.4 Pounds.

Definitely depressing. Especially since I was hoping for a good loss before heading to the beach. Not the case! But I decided that I really wasn't eating enough. Looking back at my diaries, sometimes I don't even reach 1,200 calories, and with how much I work out, I know I need to. I guess I just always feel like less food is better, but in reality it was hurting my weight loss. Basically I was just making my body want to store any fat that it ate, because it thought I was starving! Not good. So now I strive for 1,200 calories every day:)

We had so much fun in Ocean City! I tried to eat good the first 2 days and exercise, but that's all I did lol. The rest of the time I pigged out! We had... Station 7, Sunset Grille, Crab Bag, Thrashers, Anthony's Pizza, Harborside, Seacrets, Fish Tales, etc!!! Lots of bad food!! But it was so delicious!!!

I was so scared to weigh myself when I got home! Wasn't sure how bad it was going to be! My weight before I left was 180, when I got on the scale it said 186.6!! Yikes! Gained 6.6 pounds in 9 days! But I was determined to get it off, and hopefully a little extra, by my next weigh in!!

I worked really hard as soon as we got back! I've walked/ran 20.01 miles since we came home on Friday. I've done push ups, crunches, lifted weights, did the elliptical, and did a Jillian Michael's video. I worked my butt off!!! And it only paid off a little, I guess...

Previous Weight - 180.0 (6/14/11)

Weight when returned from OC (6/24/11) - 186.6

Current Weight - 179.8

Weight Lost in 6 days - 6.8

Weight Lost from Previous Weight - 0.2

Overall Weight Lost - 51.6 Pounds

So I guess that's not too bad, for just coming back from vacation! But as always, I'm disappointed. My goal from this day, till the next weigh in, is to work out HARD every day, eat really good, always reaching at least 1,200 calories, and to have a GOOD weigh in next week! Next week is also the LAST weigh in of the 2nd Biggest Loser! Can't believe another 12 weeks has already gone by! I'll let you know what my total weight loss was for those 12 weeks on my next blog.

Sorry I haven't been updating too much lately, just been too busy working out I guess! lol:) I'll try harder, because I know there's SOME people out there who do read this! (Hi Rayna lol) :)

Thanks for the support!

(p.s. it's Week 9 and Week 11 Weigh in because I missed week 10 while I was in OC)

Week 8 Weigh In

*Sighhhhhh* Yes, I'm starting this blog out on a bad note. It's not terrible news, but I'm not that happy.

First off, after I wrote that blog on Monday, we decided to go camping Tuesday into Wednesday. It was just a spur of the moment decision!

I slept till about 1ish and then got up and packed things up real quick, then left. We packed the minimal things needed. And I didn't want to eat too much since I was gonna weigh in Wednesday, so we only brought a few things to eat.

The drive there was good. No traffic or anything. When we left the house, it was sunny, but once we got there it was kind of overcast, which sucked because I hate not being able to see in the water! I like to know where I'm stepping lol.

We fished for awhile, didn't catch a single thing! We had a few bites though. We made a little fire. Charlie cooked one of these freeze dried meals he had. He didn't really like it, so I ate it. Too bad it was 520 calories for the whole thing! Ew. It's because they're supposed to be for people who hike for days and need a quick, high calorie meal.

Anyways, I ended up eating a lot of little things throughout the day, but I didn't think I did too bad.

We went to bed around 10:00pm. It's so scary! There was lots of creepy noises out in the woods. Luckily I fell asleep pretty fast. Charlie on the other hand, had a terrible sleep lol.

We woke up around 8:30am and left right away. We were ready to get back home! The ride was good till Tyson's Corner where we hit tons of traffic! Ugh, it sucked. We got home around Noon.

Once we unpacked, I decided to go for a long walk. My goal was to walk 5 miles, get really hot and sweaty, and burn over 500 calories. I accomplished all of that, and then some!!

Walked for 5.49 miles. It took 88 minutes. I ran for 15 minutes of that. Burned 1,182 calories!! Glorious! I was so happy, hot, and sweaty!! What a great feeling:) But, when I got back from my walk, I decided to weigh myself. Not good! It wasn't any different than my last weight, so I decided to give myself an extra day and weigh in on Thursday... Yeah, didn't help much! Here's my weigh in...

Previous Weight - 179.6

Current Weight - 179.0

Weight Lost - 0.6 Pounds

Total Weight Lost - 52.4 Pounds

So, of course I'm not all excited about it like my 6 pound loss last week, but oh well!:/ Hopefully the next one will be better!

Here's my May calendar. I know it's hard to read my handwriting. I suck at writing on those kind of boards. But, it looks like I worked out every day excepts 6 days out of 31.

And 4 of the days I didn't workout were because I was super sick! I think that's pretty good:)

Oh, so I got the results of the 5k! Here's how we did...




Place Name  Time    Pace
261   Caitlin   0:31:56 10:18
270   Sam      0:32:35 10:31
286   Anna     0:34:22 11:05

Not too bad for my first 5k! I'm so proud of us! We did really good!:) That was out of about 400 people.
We're still looking for our next one to do! Can't wait!

That's all for tonight. Can't wait for Ocean City next week, but at the same time I'm scared about how I'm gonna eat and exercise while I'm there! Hopefully it's not too bad and I don't gain like 10 pounds in 1 week!:)

Goodnight everyone!:)

P.S. Over 1,500 views! Thanks!!

Week 7 Weigh In

What a great week it was! Sorry I haven't updated in over a week! Oops!:) But it was worth it, trust me!

Ok, so I had that horrible weigh in last week, as we know. Well, a 0.4 pound gain, but that is horrible to me!! I never wanted to gain anything!:(

I can't quite recall what I did during the week. We had the 5k Saturday, and I worked that night. Then I also work Sunday Monday and Wednesday. Boo!:(

But, Wednesday was good, because that's when I weighed in!:) And he are my lovely results...

Previous Weight - 185.6

Current Weight - 179.6

Weight Lost - 6 Pounds!!!!

Total Weight Lost - 51.8 Pounds!!!

So I passed my 50 pound mark!!! Heck yeah!!! In your face 0.4 gain!!!

It feels sooooo amazing to say I'm in the 170s!!! It's crazy! Can't believe I'm at this point!:) Only 19 pounds to go till I reach my goal of 160:)

Thursday was a blast! We went out to Looney's for Tim's birthday. I didn't make the best food choices, but it was so fun! I had a crab pretzel, which was delicious!:) And LOTS of drinks!

I like to splurge after a good loss though!:)

Friday was Charlie's birthday. We didn't do too much. Just went in the pool. Then went to Outback for dinner. Oh, and cleaned ALL DAY!! Ughh... but the house looks amazing, and it's like a weight lifted off my shoulders!:)

So for the past month or so, I've been planning a surprise birthday party for Charlie! It's been tough, getting everyone in on the plan and what not, but we pulled it off!!:)

Sunday I walked Chief to the dog park and back, which totaled 4 miles. It was nice!:) Then when I got back home, Charlie was getting ready to go shooting with his Dad, Aunt, and Uncle, which was the plan to get him out of the house;)

He thought that I had to work that night, but right after he left, my mom and sisters came over with all the food and we went to his parents house to set up everything. We had potato salad, deviled eggs, shrimp dip, sour cream and onion dip, buffalo chicken dip, hamburgers, hot dogs, sangria, strawberry lemonade, and strawberry shortcake!!:) TOO much food!! lol But it was sooo delicious!!

Everyone got to the house around 4:30, then we just waited...
Charlie got to the house around 5:30 ish and when he walked into the house we were all there and yelled "surprise!!!" It was great!! The look on his face was priceless. He was truly surprised!:)

It was a perfect day! The food was awesome, we played games in the yard. It was great being surrounded by my family:) I had a blast, and I think he enjoyed it too!:)

Anyways... I'm not really in a writing mood right now... lol so I think I'm gonna end this blog now:) I will update Wednesday (hopefully) after my weigh in!

Bye bye!!:)
