Point 1 for the J!

Friends, when we last spoke, I was frustrated with myself and lemme tell you how I have absolutely turned things around the past few days! I have lost -6lbs!!!!! YEAH!  (which also lets me mark the first 5lb on my 30 lb competition) Hopefully this will make dearest get his butt in the game. He's given up soda, so thats a start. But if the past predicts the future, when I'm doing good and feeling good about stuff it tends to cause a chain reaction and inspires others to be good on their diets as well.  Lets hope I can keep it up!

Total loss: -6/31
Current weight: 175

Maintaining is good... I guess...

So update on the 30 lb challenge, so far I am in the lead with 4lb to his 0 (mind you, he gained a bunch of weight randomly right when the challenge was issued, so he HAS lost some weight but not enough to put on the board.)  Prizes are as such:
If I win:  He has to consent to going dancing with me at one of the clubs in Downtown Disney (and actually dance with me, not just stand there and be like... my body guard) on our honeymoon (whenever that may be ... but thats another story for another day.)
If he wins: I have to watch a movie of his choosing (horror, stupid, whatever) at a time of his choosing.  (so if he wants to watch a horror flick right before bed, I have to sit and take it--SOMEAN!!!)
If we both make the goal before the wedding, we both win and we both get our prizes.  Aren't we nice to each other? :)

As far as this blog is concerned, I have lost 5lbs! HUZZAH! Just yesterday I whipped out my old DDR mat from my high school DDR-mastah days as a way to get in that cardio but not having to deal with kicking tom out of the room, although now he's learning to play too so he may kick me off the mat to play himself!!! We'll see. We. Shall. See.

However, I must complain about myself.  As far as diet goes I have been AWFUL. I completely blame all that on my boy being here, but it is ultimately my own big fault and I need to work on that.  Even harder now that we're getting into the holidays and we all know the holidays were made so people could gain a layer of fat for those cold winter months ;p  How I've managed to maintain/lose is absolutely beyond me.
