Chris & Angela's The Biggest Loser Million Pound Match-up Space

We have had a terrible weekend as far as eating right goes.  We had a birthday party for our five year old daughter and planned ahead as far as what to eat so we weren't tempted by the pizza.  The problem came when we had so much cake left over and didn't have the heart to throw it away.  We SHOULD have thrown it away.  I was hungry by the time we got home and I ended up eating two plate fulls of cake.  I was miserable afterwards and was feeling very guilty.  We threw the cake in the trash on Sunday...but not before Chris had some.  To top the cake debaucle(sp?) off, we ate out several times.  I didn't eat too terrible (I'll spare you guys the delicious details) but I ate more than I needed to and some things that I did not need to.  Then there was the whole Valentine's thing.  We always have candy at work but I gave into it this week.  Then we swore to get back on track after our 4lb gain each but have both eaten not so good tonight.  We ARE getting back on track tomorrow.  I have already gotten lunches ready and have dinner planned for tomorrow night.  Now all I need to do is get back to drinking my water daily. 

Well, we had a rough weekend but we made it through and still had losses on the scale this morning.  Our little girl went to sleep Friday night okay, but woke up with a temperature.  I took her to the pediatrician today to find out that she has an ear infection, tonsilitus and conjunctivitus.  She has been an trooper and feels okay until she starts getting worn out.  She needs more sleep.  Anyway, this challenge had us wanting to eat what ever was easy...which usually means unhealthy.  BUT, I talked Chris out of pizza and into Subway.  We both had footlong subs, but that was better than eating some of the alternatives.  Oh, and to those who don't know, Girl Scouts are out selling cookies, so BEWARE!  I had to walk past not one, but two tables so far.  It is hard, but I did it!  Be strong.  Take care.

Well, we both weighed in on Monday and had good weeks.  I lost 3 1/2lbs and Chris lost 2lbs.  We've been doing really good on our food choices and calories this week.  I have even managed to get on the treadmill every night.  It is my goal to walk at the very least one mile every day.  I'm trying to do more but I'm not a fast walker and can only walk about 1.5 miles in 30 minutes at a speed of 3 or 3.2.  That might not seem like much, but it is a challenge for me.  One of my goals is to be able to do a 15 minute mile!  I'll get there.  Hope everyone is having a great week.

Well, we got on the scale this past Monday and as I had feared, it had not been a great week for me.  BUT, I did lose 1/2lb.  A loss is a loss and I will take it.  I feel strongly that our next Monday will be a good weigh in for me.  Chris lost another 3lbs so that is great!  Considering we have not been exercising, our weight loss has gone well.  We really need to get into a routine and incorporate exercise but we have just been concentrating on the eating right part for now.  We have a treadmill so there really is not excuse except for laziness.  I really don't know how people do it.  We both work 40+ hours each week and we have a VERY active 5 year old little girl.  Where do people find the time?

Well, this weekend has come and gone so quickly as they always do.  We have done good on our eating for the most part.  We probably did not get enought of the "pyramid" like veggies and fruits but we didn't eat bad.  We haven't exercised at all this weekend or very much during the week.  I'm not looking forward to the scale tomorrow.  Chris has probably had a really good week.  A loss is a loss, so I hope I have one.  I'll let you all know tomorrow.  Hope everyone has a great week.  We will be getting back on the exercise train!
