It’s time to get Down and Dirty with my sisters….time for the first weigh-in!
shrinking Beauties….formerly known as Team B….let’s kick some boo-tay!
Woohoo! Good to see a loss again after a few weeks of slowly creeping up. I started week 5 of C25K on Monday and if the rain holds off tonight, I will continue onto Day 2….which contains an 8 minute running interval! Eeek! I started tracking my foods again and have been holding around 1200-1500 calories depending if I run or not. This Friday and Saturday will be my first obstacle of the challenge, we have physical inventory at work so I will be working 15 hr days with little breaks. There are always lots of temptations around like candy and pizza, so I just have to be prepared and bring some good snacks to grab if I feel snacky. I can do it, not worth splurging on work.
How was your week…were you accountable?

Great start, Mendie! You'll get through that inventory because you're planning ahead and because you have a whole team behind you! Good job putting an end to that 'slowly creeping up' stretch.

Congratulations, Mendie! I'm so proud of you, girl! WOOT! Good luck this weekend at work. I know you can withstand the temptations. And look at you little runner girl. I knew you could do it!!
Sarah says
Great loss this week! I remember when I used to have to do phsyical counts and those days were brutal, way to think ahead and be prepared!
Bari says
Yippee Mendie!!!!!!!!!!!! Great job on the loss this week – and don't sweat your 5 min run interval (ok-you'll sweat, but don't worry about it). You can do it! I agree with everyone else about your long workdays coming up. Plan.Plan.Plan.
Carrie says
Congrats Mendie, what a great start to the challenge. Long days at work are tough, but if you are prepared you can get through them. Good luck with your run tonight too, I am at the same place, does your schedule have you running 20 minutes at the end of the week? I am nervous!
Becca says
From my experience, it can only take a day to get off course, so good for you for preparing for it!
Karena says
Congrats on the loss, Mendie! You're doing a great job. Yes, be prepared, take your own meals and snacks, and stay strong. Maybe YOU could be the one to bring a veg platter or some fruit for everyone. You can do this!
