So much for the 2 weeks of the last challenge weight shedding. I went into a “food fest”. I should know myself by now. As soon as I put myself on a restrictive plan, I rebel. I’ve been shedding weight this whole summer by portion control and working out. I’ve eaten the foods that I’ve wanted, not what I “should” eat. Well, as soon as I went into “should”, I went nuts.

The great news is that I went to the weigh-in and shed 19 pounds! The audience applauded. It felt great! I felt great. My teammate lost 13 pounds. I hadn’t heard from her so I wasn’t sure if she was still in the challenge. I was so happy when she called and wanted to walk over with me.

We will hear the final results later this week. I can’t wait to find out where I stand individually.

Now, I’ve started a personal, 60-day fitness challenge.  It’s a very simple plan: work out 60 days by 11/15. I’ve worked out 3 out of 3 days so far. Woo hoo. My official start date is September 10, 2009.  I have 80 days to complete 60 workouts. This is very doable.
