Week 12 Weigh In

Hellllllllo!! I hope every one's week has been as good as mine!:)

So, in my last blog I said that my goal was to work out HARD every day till my next weigh in, to reach at least 1,200 calories every day, and have a GOOD WEIGH IN! Well, I achieved most of that!

Friday - Ate 1,207 Calories/Burned 566 Calories doing Jillian Michael's "No More Trouble Zones"

Saturday - Ate 1,372 Calories/Burned 432 Calories walking 4.34 Miles

Sunday - Ate 2,394 Calories (Oops)/Burned 1070 Calories doing Jillian Michael's "Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism" and "Shred Level 2" We went to Charlie's Aunt and Uncle's for 4th of July and I indulged a little too much!:(

Monday - Ate 1,058 Calories (a little low)/Burned 1008 Calories doing "Bridge to 10k Week 1, Day 1"

Tuesday - Ate 1,427 Calories/Burned 338 Calories doing "Shred Level 3"

Wednesday - Ate 1,201 Calories/Burned 874 Calories doing "Bridge to 10k Week 1, Day 2"

Thursday (Today) Ate 1,236 Calories/Burned 149 Calories swimming laps and treading water

All in all, I'd say I did really good! Minus Sunday! haha... That was pretty bad, but I did try to make up for it in exercises!:) I've never done multiple DVDs in one day!:) I felt really good after that!

On Sunday, Roch and I went to Arundel Mills to go shopping. My intention was to only spend 40 dollars on like 2 shirts... Well, that didn't go too well!

I did end up getting two shirts... and a necklace... and a ring! So I went a little over, by like 10 dollars. Unfortunately, Roch suggested that we go into the new Coach outlet that they just opened. I didn't think I would buy anything. I'm not a huge Coach fan or anything. Don't own anything of theirs.

Well, they were having a sale... 50% off of a lot of their stuff, plus, a 30% off your entire purchase coupon! Grrr!! I saw a few things that were cute, but I wasn't in love with anything, until I saw this bag!!!! I loved it! There was one competitor, a black and grey Poppy bag, but this one won!:) I <3 it!!! The best part... it was originally $389, I got it for $101!! AWESOME!!!

It was a great weekend overall. We watched the fireworks in Laurel on Saturday night. They were actually really good! Even though I've lived in Laurel for almost 3 years, I've never watched them here before. It was especially nice watching from atop ladder truck 6:)

As I mentioned earlier, Sunday we went to Charlie's Aunt and Uncle's house to eat dinner and watch fireworks. His uncle actually put together a whole little firework display. They were really legit though! I mean like BIG fireworks! It was pretty awesome:) Besides eating too much lol.

I worked Monday night. I had a great view of the fireworks on the Mall from my unit:) Unfortunately, I had to float to Medical Care Unit at 2300:( It wasn't too bad of a night though. Just really boring!

Tuesday night was great! We were originally supposed to go to RA Sushi in Baltimore with Caitlin,  Tim, Sam, and her husband David. Unfortunately, Sam couldn't make it in time:( But Darla ended up coming last minute with Nick!:) It was a good time!

They have happy hour from 3-7 so we ordered 12 rolls, apps, and drinks!! It ended up being a really good price! The sushi was great! Especially this one roll they have called a "Viva Las Vegas Roll" It was delicious!:) I will definitely go back!

Afterwards we hung out at Darla's house which is sweet! I love it. They have an awesome roof top deck with a beautiful view!! We hung out up there talking, listening to music, and drinking:) Fabulous night!:)

My "Fruit Parfait" lol

Wednesday we watched Maddie while Katie was at work. She's gotten so big, it's crazy!! We were there from 8am to 4pm. She was pretty good for the most part. It's definitely different taking care of her compared to all the babies at my work.

Charlie did a lot too, I was pretty proud of him:) But it was a good experience for the both of us!

Ok, now for my FINAL weigh in of the 12 week competition!

Previous Weight - 179.8

Current Weight - 176.8

Weight Lost - 3 Pounds!!!!

Total Weight Lost - 54.6 Pounds!!! Finalllllly!! I thought I was gonna be stuck on a plateau forever!! I think making sure to get my 1,200 calories every day definitely helped!! As well as my hard work outs:) I'm so happy I finally lost!!

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I also gave up weighing myself for the whole week!! So I had no clue what I was gonna be when I weighed in, it was so nerve wracking! Luckily it was a good outcome. I think I will only weigh myself at work now:)

The total I lost during the first Biggest Loser was 33 pounds. This 2nd round I lost 26 pounds. I know that doesn't add up to 54.6, but that's because I gained a little between the 1st and 2nd biggest loser. If that makes sense!

I'm pretty happy about this round. There was definitely more downs than ups, but now I know not to starve myself anymore! Not good!:) I'm going to join the 3rd Biggest Loser too... it starts next week! I'll update with my starting weight next week!

Thanks for reading!!:)
