Power of One: Weekly Check-In

[ 27 ] 02/16/2011 |

Holy MOLY MOLY MOLY MOLY! We’re almost there!

Next week is our last weigh-in for this challenge, how are you doing?

Well, you know what to do! Head on over to the scale and find out how many numbers that scale is willing to give up for you this week! And we hope the scale’s being kind, loving and generous, it is Valentine’s week, after all! So get to it, go snuggle with that scale of yours and come back and tell us all about it!

Did you see the Biggest Loser last night? One of the moments that really got me choked up (and there were quite a few) was when Rulon yelled on the treadmill, “I WILL NOT GAIN ANY OF MY WEIGHT BACK!”

It struck a chord with me because that is my fear every day. I feel like yelling it from the rooftops myself and I hope you will too. WE WILL NOT GAIN ANY OF OUR WEIGHT BACK! Mkay?

Thank you to our wonderful April for a kickass Tworkout last night on Twitter and to Subway for the great giveaways! Don’t forget to join in on our last minute workouts on Twitter during the Biggest Loser on Tuesday nights!

    For Valentine’s Day I stayed at home and ate my healthy leftover soup I had made the night before. Then I rewarded myself with two pieces of chocolate and did not feel guilty at all while I watched The Bachelor!!!

  • Nancy

    Valentine’s Day was pretty uneventful with the exception of my hubby sending me a dozen yellow roses to work. He is not a sending flowers kind of guy, so when he does it’s pretty special.

    Valentine’s day was uneventful – except M got me a card when we said we weren’t exchanging cards so I felt like a shmuck for not getting him one.

    We went out twice over the weekend and no guilt.

    We didn’t do anything special, it was another day around here. But we all ate healthy and it was a nice peaceful evening!

    For Valentine’s Day hubby brought me some chocolates (which I promptly devoured)home after his all day meeting…but on Saturday he took me out on a surprise Valentine’s Day dinner (mexican food) and movie (with candy). it was nice!! I had no guilt (although maybe I should have since my tummy hasn’t felt great since then)….and even lost a little weight this week – go figure!!

  • LuckyBamboo

    We didn’t do anything specifically for Valentine’s Day, just a regular day. I’ll pick another day and name it Valentine’s Day, and do something out of the ordinary on an ordinary day.

    Well, I’d love to link up my post but the linky isn’t letting me do anything. Here is the link to my post

    This Valentines Day was really uneventful. Hubby respected the fact that I am trying to get healthy and did not buy me any candy, I got two cards though. I did more with the children than with my hubby. He had to work :(
    Well Internet Explorer is really messing up, I almost lost this comment. So I am going to try again later to enter into the linky

    I am a tax accountant and so on Vday I went home, had my scheduled dinner and snuggled up with my dogs until bedtime. Nothing fancy!

    Hubby fixed a nice steak dinner and we enjoyed a glass of wine with it. I did celebrate my birthday on Saturday with a couple of beers ok maybe 3 beers. Much more guilt over that than Valentine’s day events.

    We made stir fry and everyone got to use the new chopsticks we bought at Epcot last month. It was quiet and lovely.

    I didn’t write a weight-loss post this weekend, but I lost an other 2.5 lbs. WOOHOO!

  • Virginia

    I think I did pretty well on eating. I did have some chocolate that the hubby gave me and some cookies that I made for him. Sooo I guess I did good on my eating until 7pm with the first batch came out of the oven.

    Checked in! Rough week numbers wise but hanging in there.
    For valentines day we went out without peanut! A rarity hehe. We saw adam sandlers new movie it was funny and went out to dinner. I stayed within my points for the week!

    We stayed home for Valentines Day. We had a healthy dinner and just relaxed :)

    I was surprised by my DH with long-stem red roses and dinner out. He had not said anything to me about us going out (and he normally plans ahead) so I was prepared to make a healthy dinner for us. Instead we went out for Mexican and we split an order. While the quantity was gread, my only regret is the salt I know my body always retains when I go there. And it showed on this morning’s weigh in. I’ll deal though.

    I ate too much chocolate. Blah. :(

    I spent Valentine’s Day curled up on the couch with severe abdominal pain, what seems to have been a 24-hour stomach bug. Which sucks on a normal day, but this was worse because I had to miss the memorial walk in memory of my friend’s daughter, on what would have been her tenth birthday. :(

    I really didn’t do anything special on Valentine’s Day. Just another day around here. Had a healthy dinner, read email and watched some TV.

    On “Single’s Awareness Day” (aka “Valentines Day”), I went to the gym after work!! At first there weren’t too many people there, but then they started filtering in. After the gym, I went grocery shopping (proudly sporting my work-out clothes and messy hair!!) and bought my groceries for the week. Then I went home and cuddled with my puppies! :)
    Oh, and I ate 4 pieces of chocolate that one of my students gave me as my valentine!! It was worth it! :)

    This was my best Valentine’s day ever!!! On a day that I would normally spend eating chocolate and sweets…I decided to make a few committements to my weight loss.

    I joined a gym, I got a personal trainer, and my Hubby bought me a BodyBugg…exactly what I wanted!!!

    We didn’t do anything special. Just another typical day in our crazy household! ;)

    We went out to dinner and I enjoyed the meal but didn’t go overboard. I even said no to the bread basket (unheard of! Goes against my religion!) Really savored every bite! And I got a skinny-tini. And kept it to one drink. We raised a toast to m beloved Gram who passed away on Valentine’s Day in 1998.

    V-day Dinner was amazing. My husband cooked dinner – and it was healthy! salmon with lemon and kalamata olives over yellow squash, zucchini & roma tomatoes. YES it was as delicious as it sounds. too bad the sodium in the olives is so high. trust me, the scale knows too.
