week 9: 3/4 through the competition

so the jumping into 2007 competition is now 75% done, i can't believe it! it seems like just yesterday i was rolling back across the border from canada & plotting my workout plan. & now it's week nine, which means only three more weeks before the money is given to the biggest loser. right now rochelle & i are neck & neck on the weight loss. in this competition i've lost 17 lbs, which equals 6.43%. rochelle is winning by a hair at 6.73%!

even if i don't take home the big prize, i'm very pleased with what i've done. my butterfly is doing well, 23 lbs lost from the start 0f this blog with the last competition, & that's nothing to sneeze at. my bmi has went down 4 points, which is huge, & losing 6.43% of weight is a great help to my health & well on my way to the recommended minimum 10% for increased health benefits. all in all, today's weight in was good news.

& jenn is committed to kicking my butt from here to the Y, across the Y, & back again to work. so i'll be pretty hard core working out over the next three weeks....& beyond that as we roll into the time for my birthday!

weighing in week 8

i'm super happy, almost twenty pounds down from where my butterfly first took off from, nearly a fifth of the way through my goal of losing 100lbs. now that is wicked awesome! isn't it amazing what you can do when you really truly put your mind to it? although, i'll admit, i'm kinda afraid to be TOO happy because i'm worried that i'll back slide again. not like you can live your life in fear, but i'm still afraid to be too happy about all of this.
