What The Hell Was I Thinking?

So... I mentioned in an earlier post that 

I am the Head Coach for my daughters

Peewee Cheerleading Team. 

And I am really having fun with it. 

I've spent nearly every day choreographing

our Cheer Routine and making up 

arm motions to new Cheers.

Then I had my daughter record me

so that I could see how the arm motions 

of the new Cheer I made up looked like.

WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING!!?? 

I look HORRIBLE!!  

Yes...... I have lost 69 pounds. 

But HELLO!!!!

I still have 84 more to go!!!!

And I have to get up there in front 

of all the girls and the PARENTS

and teach this dance and cheers to the girls?

Oh dear......

 

I do not look as good as I feel.

Not even close!!!

I'm committed now. 

There is no backing out.

I will have to get up there in all my 

wiggly jiggly glory and teach

the dance and Cheers

to 24 girls while parents look on. 

Pray for me......

Week 25 Weigh In -

I lost 3 pounds this week.

That puts my Total 

Weight Loss at 69!

I've got 5 weeks to

lose 10 pounds in

order to meet my 

August 1st goal...

Which is to be in

ONEderland (below 200). 

Wish Me Luck!!!!

Week 24 Weigh In -

I only lost .6 this week.

Ugh.

But I am retaining water again.

On Monday I was down .8 for the week.

On Tuesday I went walking and running

and Wednesday morning I had GAINED 

2 pounds!! It was still there on Thursday.

(I know it isn't actual "weight" but water

because taking in the amount of calories

I am it is impossible to gain that much

weight. And I didn't cheat at all).

But it's still frustrating.

Friday I was back down to my weight

of the week before, and Saturday the scale 

stayed the same.  I was expecting it to 

be my first week EVER to NOT lose weight. 

But this morning it had dropped .6

LESS than a pound, but still a loss.

YEAH BABY!!!!!

I found out last night I have been

selected as the HEAD COACH

for my daughters Peewee Cheerleading Squad!

I am SO EXCITED!!!!

and nervous......

Last year was my first year to Coach, 

and at 278lbs I was so self conscious 

about my body.   I always felt like I was 

being watched and judged. I thought parents

were probably wondering why I was selected as

one of the Coaches.

I couldn't even get on the floor and stretch 

with the girls.

It was my wake up call.

I Came SO Close To Cheating

Our oldest two kids are at their Dad's house

for the first part of the Summer.

And our youngest two have been at their

Grandmothers house for the past week.

So we have been Kid Free for the 

first time in 12 years!!

They come back next weekend.

Since this was our last Kid Free weekend

in who knows HOW long, I wanted to do something

DIFFERENT. 

Something we would NEVER normally do. 

Something FUN and EXCITING!

 I had told my husband I wanted to do something

CRAZY.  

Like get drunk

and smoke cigarettes. 

But being on a diet...

Alcohol was out of the question.

And I don't smoke. 

Week 23 Weigh In -

This week was a fairly good weigh in.  

I lost 3.2 pounds for the week.

That brings my total weight loss so far to 

65.4 pounds. 

Just 13 more pounds to go and I will

be in ONEderland!!!

FINALLY below 200!! 

I can't WAIT!!!!!

Week 22 Weigh In -

I finally have Internet again!!

The tech came out late yesterday and 

got it fixed.  Something about it not 

being grounded....

Last week I lost 1.6. 

Bringing the Total to 62.2

Not a big loss, but it is still a loss!

 

On Monday I had dropped another pound,

and on Tuesday another...... so this week's

weigh in is looking promising!

Fingers crossed it doesn't go up again :)
