And the winner of last week's weigh in is:
Cindy!
Who gained the least weight of 0%!
Last week must have been the week of gains. We all struggled.
So, in case you've missed my numerous announcements, I have the need to step down from the competition. Pregnancy is not the best time to try to lose weight, weekly weigh myself, or take any sort of body measurements. But I will happily continue to host the competition for the next 56 days. And be prepared for a Season 3 in about a year or so.
Now my focus has changed to new weekly goals. Suddenly, all the foods I've been avoiding sound over-temptingly good. Never heard that expression before? Well if you've ever been pregnant, you can figure out what it means. And water doesn't appeal to me. I desire nothing more than sitting around and watching TV or playing around on the internet. It doesn't help that my check up with the doctor included her telling me that she's giving me permission to not exercise so intensely and only eat what sounds good. Oy. I'm in trouble.
So, here are my new weekly goals: get my water intake back where it needs to be, keep my running going but make sure my intensity is low, and try to stay away from the simple carbs. Now that Josh's birthday is over, it should be a lot easier. The German Chocolate cake I made from scratch was devastatingly good.
And, in case anyone is looking for a new 5k to participate in, my friend Tara is fundraising for her project "Choe's Sunshine Playground." I think almost everyone that reads this is a mutual friend of hers and mine. But this race would benefit a good cause and be a motivator to keep running. I have to tell you that I'm very tempted to make the trip up for it. The following Tuesday I'll be in St George for my sister and BIL sealing in the LDS St George Temple. It would just be a matter of starting my vaca a little early. I'm running nearly 5k now (I'm about to start week 9 of the c25k program) so I could do it, but it would mean taking off without Josh because he has to work that weekend in order to get the days off we need for the sealing. I hate making trips without him. In fact, after the last one I swore I'd never do anything without him again. Of course, I said that after the trip I took without him before that as well.
In any case, if you're still in the running for the Bloggest Loser, find your loss percentage. And jot me a note. How'd you do? Like Carina said last week, no subject is taboo. I'll listen to anything. And I hope everyone had a MUCH BETTER week this week!!

I think it would be Awesome to do that 5K. Unfortunately it is the weekend of our anniversary. Should I go run with friends or be with the love of my life celebrating our eternal bliss? Hmmm, maybe your trip here will help me decide. :D
1.37% weight loss for me this week. Yay! I was sitting dangerously close to my previous goal. Now I feel better.
I ran part of a 5K today. Haven't really ran in years. I am hurtin. I am avoiding bedtime. I am afraid I will wake up sore, grumpy and walk like an old man. Running may not be so great for the Fubromyalgia. But I will try to fight through. You inspired me Shelly.
1.5 pound loss which is .38%
Honestly having kind of a bummer week. But who doesn't. This week is going to be busy with lots of running and doing. I hope I'll recover from the gain last week. Here goes.
I haven't weighed myself...and I don't plan to. Two weeks in paradise, eating exactly what I wanted, when I wanted could not be good for me. I ran a total of one time! Ha ha. Back to reality. Guess I better unpack my running shoes. This little belly thing has to go. Who was talking about body changing? Cindy? Well, Cindy, I am assuming you are still nursing? I quit a month or so ago and my boobs are now officially gone. Nothing to hide my belly anymore! Oh the joys of being a woman.
I am flattered that my lack of weight change finally won me a week!
This week, down .5%. I'll take it.
And, Jeri Dawn, you may SO have some of my boobs! There are plenty to go around. And I thought my B cup in high school was too big. Sheesh!
