We're two weeks into Pfit and I'm down 2.5 lbs. Yay!
It's not as much as I would like; I love the thrill of a big number dump on the scale. I love making the top 10 list. I want to see my name in pixels! But it IS definitely going in the right direction AND, while I'm lifting weights too, not just ripping through cardio workouts. Sing it with me..."muscle weighs more than fat". How is that fair? Anyhoo, clothing is still growing on me and every week I'm finding more and more items in my closet that just won't fit anymore no matter how many binder clips I use. It's time to stop trying to convince myself that the baggy-hip-hop-business-casual look is attractive.
Things I need to tweak?
The mindset that I can eat more recklessly because I'm working out like a madwoman. You know, they should put that on the treadmill scrolly sign...Ooooh girl...another half mile and you can snarf down one of those Godiva truffles that you hid from the kid. go GO GO!!!
Other than that...onward and downward!!!
Pfit Update
P-Fit Round Two!
The 2nd Biggest Loser competition at my workplace, fondly known as P-Fit Round Two starts this Friday. It will be a 12-week session ending on Aug, 7th. There will be an overall cash prize at the end along with several challenges throughout. I, for one, think Round 1 should have had a tiara and am working diligently to obtain one for Round 2. If all else fails, I'll hoof it over to Burger King and pick up one of their fine paper crowns. Does Long John Silver's still have the pirate hats? Those would be cool, too. P-fit Pirates!
Sorry.
At $20 a person, P-Fit is cheaper than Weight Watchers and includes a fun, informal smack-talk atmosphere between co-workers. Last round brought sneakily placed Snickers bars around the office and competitors ordering pizzas for each other. Good times!
Here are my goals for this round:
- 20 lbs (1.6 lbs per week)
- Drop 2 more sizes
- Definite definition in arms and abs
- Complete Triathlon on Aug. 1st
How do I plan on doing this?
- Training for triathlon - 2 workouts per week of each Swim, Run, Bike and Strength Training
- Eat 5-6 meals/snacks per day, eating every 3 hours. Avoid sugars and refined foods focusing on un-processed as much as possible.
- Log all food, water and fitness on thedailyplate.com
- Water, water, water
A P-Fit group has been set up on Facebook for all participants and their supporters as a place to post events, ideas, recipes, plans, photos and the aforementioned smack-talkage.
Our total weight loss for Round 1 was 321 pounds. I fully expect us to beat that black and blue in true Chuck Norris fashion. And if you feel dizzy in August don't be scared. The Earth is just spinning a little faster due to our phenomenal poundage decimation.
