Monster Fit Club: Week Nine

What a week! I am so tired! I just started a new job and I have some crazy hours, but it means I have more daytime hours...TO NAP! Today I took my first nap since college, and it was really nice. But enough about naps, Let's weigh in!

Monster Fit Club: Week 8

Hey there, folks! I hope everyone is doing well. I want to give a special shout out to Shellbomber for writing and posting Monster Fit Club for me last week. Thanks, lady, it was awesome!



Time for the weigh-in:

Monster Fit Club: Week Six

Week six, y'all!! Who's pumped?! I bet everyone is starting to see some great results. People are probably telling you that you look thinner, huh?! Sorry about the late post, but I have been a busy gal.

Time to get our weigh-in on:

This week I only lost 0.5 lbs. (BLAH!). That is 9 lbs. total. I am 11 lbs. away from my 20 lb. goal.

Monster Fit Club: Week Five

Can you guys believe that we are already five weeks in?! Everyone's weigh-ins are looking great, and I look forward every week to see how you guys are progressing. Last week, we even had new Monsters join! If you are thinking about joining, you can jump in at any time. It's never too late to get fit!



This week I lost 1 lb. (8.5 lbs. total). I am now 11.5 lbs. away from my 20 lb. goal!



My diet is going really well. I am staying within my calorie budget, so I am very proud of myself. I did go to the Olive Garden (don't judge me, that shit is delicious!) and I had quite a few breadsticks, but that was my only splurge this week. Workouts are going great. However, I am having a hard time waking up in the morning to do my workouts, so that means a lot of post-work workouts which really sucks. It's so much easier when I can get the workout done in the morning. I am going to try really hard this week to wake up early and it them done! I have already succeeded in that goal today, but I still have the rest of the week. I'll let you know how it goes!



This week, I would like to make recommendation for the MTV series I Used to Be Fat. I was a little apprehensive to watch this show, but Lawblog said that it was worth the watch, so I gave it a shot. To my surprise, the show is really great! Each week, they take an overweight kid who is about to start college, and they have the summer to lose weight. You follow them as they make the transformation, and it is actually really inspirational. If you have time, try to check it out. It might give you a little extra motivation.



So how did you do this week?! Put your progress and suggestions in the comments and let's discuss!

Monster Fit Club: Week Four

Time is flying by. I can't believe we are already at week four! It seems like everyone is staying motivated and doing really well. I am so proud of my Monsters!

This week I lost 1 lb. (7.5 lbs total). I am now 12.5 lbs. away from my goal of 20lb. total weight loss.

I have noticed that my jeans are fitting better and that I am getting stronger. I am able to keep up better with my P90X abs DVD and I running 2 1/2 miles now.

Thanks for all the suggestions on TV viewing last week. I have discovered that I can watch Netflix streaming on my iPhone from the treadmill. Only problem is when I watched Friday Night Lights that I started crying while I was running! Needless to say, my crying made it difficult to run. That was not a good look, you guys!

I came across an article on Self.com about snacking alternatives. Instead of bowl of ice cream or a bag a chips, try some of these. Also, here are a few of the foods I like to snack on (not counting fruits and veggies):

Fage Non-fat Plain Greek Yogurt (90 Calories, 15 g protein)
Quaker Fiber & Omega-3 Dark Chocolate Chunk Granola Bar (120 Calories, 9 g Fiber, 2 g Protein) Dove Dark Chocolate Promises, 2 pcs. (115 Calories)
Edy's Frozen Lime Bars (80 Calories)

Monster Fit Club: Week Three

Welcome to week three, you guys! It sounds like everyone did a fantastic job last week. Let's weigh in:

This week I lost 1.5 lbs. That is a total of 6.5 lbs. so far! I am now 13.5 lbs. away from my goal of 20lb. total weight loss.

I think I was expecting to lose more weight this week because I did so well the first week. Of course, I wish I would have lost more, but I know that it is a healthy amount to lose. So I am satisfied, and I am feeling great.

Monster Fit Club: Week Two

You guys, I can't tell you how excited I am when I read all your comments. We have lurkers and regular commenters alike participating. THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's get to point here...Weigh in time, y'all!

This week I lost 5 lbs. which means that I am 15 lbs. away from my 20 lb. goal!

Monday through Friday, I got all five workouts in and ate really well. As far as diet, I have changed my plan. I decided to not do the 4 Day Diet because my husband wasn't really on board, and it is much easier if we are both doing the same thing. We both decided to go with counting calories. This weekend I went out of town and my eating and drinking was not exactly the best, but that should be the last giant splurge like that for awhile.

Monster Fit Club: Week One (It Begins...)

It's Monday, January 3. We all know what that means. It is time to to crack down and get this party started! WHO'S EXCITED?! I know I am!

I got my grocery shopping done yesterday which means I am currently enjoying a bowl of non-fat Greek yogurt with fresh strawberries. YUM! I also just finished my first workout of MFC. I started my morning off with P90X's Ab Ripper X workout. This is a workout I used to be able to do with out stopping, and I had to take a couple of breaks because my abs were burning! I can't wait to be able to do the whole workout without stopping again. After my intense ab workout, I hit the treadmill for a 45 minute run/walk combo. I got a nice burst of energy that I hope to carry me into the work day (by work, I actually mean Videogum commenting-DUH!).
