Ben and I recently finished up a 12-week weight loss contest. A big shout-out to my sister-in-law Julie who put together the "Lettuce Eat Cake" contest.
I just received my cash prize* in the mail and Ben and I each got some awesome t-shirts. I ended up in first place, losing 30 pounds (up to 35 now) and Ben came in third place, losing 13 pounds (would have been more but traveling all the time made things difficult).
I had to eliminate all desserts for the first 6 weeks which helped a lot. And I avoided eating after dinner. And I walked about 90 miles during the first 8 weeks (kind of fizzled out the last 4 weeks but I've gotten back to walking regularly). If you haven't noticed, we go on a lot of walks around here.
Hooray for being healthy! Thanks Julie.
*I may or may not have just used a good chunk of my winnings to pay my library fine.
Way to go Ben and Sarah!! Being that disciplined is not easy, I am both impressed and inspired.
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome! I have been counting calories for the last few months and have been reminded again about how hard it is to lose weight. Way to go, Sarah!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on losing so much weight! I've struggled to lose baby weight this time. For some reason my diet of 'eating whatever I want' is not producing the results I'd like. I admire your fortitude for refraining from desserts!
ReplyDeletep.s. I have a huge fine at the library that has been unpaid for YEARS.
