Today my work place's version of the biggest loser had it's first weigh-in. My team of 5 did great! We lost a total of 22.4lbs which translates into a combined total of a 12.10% weight loss. The biggest weight loss on my team was 5.26% and the lowest was 0.91% Of the 5 people on my team I had the 3rd largest % of weight lost at 2.05%. The other woman on my team lost a total of 2.96% of her body weight. When I first met her I thought there was no way that she was going to stick to it. I obviously underestimated her. In fact I'm starting to feel quite competitive with her. So I'm entering a secret competition with her. From this point on, my goal is to lose more weight than she loses each week.
Seeing the amount of weight that everyone on my team lost is a huge motivator to work harder. I don't ever want to be the person with the least amount of weight lost.
Daily Journal:
I ate about 1490 calories. I burned about 800 doing a Zumba aerobic class and half hour on the elliptical. I also did a half hour of lower body resistance training. Notice that I said I ate 1490 calories... Yesterday I said my goal was to eat between 1200-1400 calories a day. Obviously I went over. I felt little slightly hungry after eating dinner and without thinking about it I snacked on an open box of crackers and ate more than a serving. I continued snacking even though the hunger had subsided. I should have removed a serving from the box of crackers and had just that. Separating one serving would have prevented the mindless eating. No reason to slit my wrists... but next time I'll be more conscious.
