Shrink-A-Versary Weigh In – Week Four!

View Comments 11/25/2009 | christieo

Sound the alarms, it’s weigh-in day!

Last week, Heather described my trek to the scale so perfectly in her weigh-in post that I laughed out loud as I took every step in the perfect way in which she described. Something about heading to the scale, looking at the numbers with our “scrunched up eyes”, naked and after having already peed (because we all know that adds about 5 more pounds…oh wait, I think I added the pee part. But still.)

That’s me. I’m a first-thing-in-the-morning weigher. Every Wednesday morning. Just like today.

So hop to it, sisters! Take the trek to the scale, or if you want to, skip to the lou (or loo) and whistle on over to the scale, look down at the number, go post about it, and leave the link right here in the comments below. Or if you don’t have a blog, weigh in right here in the comments.

Then don’t forget to visit everyone and leave a little comment love because if there is any weekend that we’re all going to need the extra support and motivation, it’s this one!

And don’t forget to add how many miles you logged this past week and/or how you’ve done on the More Workouts challenge and what you are thankful for this Thanksgiving eve. OK you don’t have to add the “thankful” part, but why not? We’re among sisters, here and you’ve all become my “virtual” family.

And this year, I’m thankful for the Sisterhood. I’m thankful for this freakin amazing year. God, I’m so darned thankful for being able to run around with my babies. Finally!! I’m thankful that I found inspiration and motivation to change my life through all of you. You are all SO AMAZING with your 5ks and half-marathons and never-ending motivation and support!!! I just love you.

So let the love-fest continue in the comments below. Go on, do tell…how did you do this week?

    sometimes freaking out at a gain can be the best thing for us. a slap in the face to get back on the right track. :) stay focused and you'll get there!

    Up 4 pounds. Sucks but bad choices while traveling. Here is my blog: http://momsmuttering.blogspot.com/2009/11/must-...

    I forgot my miles. I logged 22.5 miles this week for a total of 48.2 miles. I have a pedometer so I am counting all my steps for all day not just workouts. I hope this is right? Have a great Thanksgiving to everyone.

    I lost 1.6 pounds this week! Maybe because I changed from 'real' ice cream to Skinny Cows… ;-P (current weight is 170.6) c'mon 160's!!!

  6. Way to go, Elaine!! Small changes = big results :)

  7. tiffanyzook says:

    Okay…

    Pretty amazing that I am even taking part in this at THIS time of year!

  8. Pubsgal says:

    -.4 pound and logged 21 miles. Could have been better, but also could have been a lot worse…

    Hope everyone enjoys a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!

    No weigh in for me today. Scales do not exist in Kauai. I think I need to move here, permanently.
    Love ya'll and looking for a good weigh in next week. I ran this morning. And I'm on vacation! I know. Dedication right here!

    I started the EA More Workouts Challenge on Friday. To date I have burned 1800 calories and run a little over 2 miles if my memory serves correctly. I started Jenny Craig on Monday and had my first weigh-in. I weigh more than I thought. But I will post it here – 202. YIKES. We all have to start somewhere. Here is my post – http://cutiebootycakes.blogspot.com/2009/11/obe...

  11. We do have to start somewhere, girl! I'm proud of you for stepping up and taking control.

    My high was 193. ONEHUNDREDANDNINETYTHREEPOUNDS on a 5'3″ frame doesn't look remotely good!!

    Way to go on the EAS challenge! I'm really loving it, and oh-so-sore!

  12. Nice job, Elaine! I love Skinny Cows!

  13. That's not bad… and 21 miles in a week is AMAZING! Great job!

    Happy Thanksgiving!

  14. You are one hard-core, hooker girl. Enjoy your vacation. Just know that I am so incredibly jealous right now. ;p

  15. Just think -it will only be going down from there!

    I never had a chance to blog today. Scale this morning said I'm up 1.6 to 159.6. Not how I wanted to go into Turkey Day, but it is what it is. I had a great time celebrating my dad's 70th birthday and truely enjoyed the Cold Stone ice cream cake we had.

    I logged 8 miles this week. I'm up to 21.9 miles since I started logging miles on dailymile.com (I love that site, btw!). Gotta put a new button on my blog :)

    I'm thankful for a supportive, loving family, my health, and for my smart, beautiful and healthy children. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

  17. Bari_F says:

    16.9 miles is really freakin' awesome!

  18. Bari_F says:

    15 miles for the challenge is great! Definitely take what your scale said as your “home” weight. Scale fluctuations are so unfair. I had to go to the doctor last week and refused to weigh in. :) I had weighed myself at home in the morning butt nekid and there was no way I was getting on an unfamiliar scale wearing jeans and a sweater. Would have ruined my day!
