So now it's up to me to lose 13.6 pounds... because I should have kept off those nasty 3.6 pounds of the aforementioned shortbread, doughnut, wine, etc.
3.6 pounds doesn't SEEM like very much... but when you were down 16... and you know the weight is getting harder to lose... it's ugly.
I was chatting with some gals after our workout tonight, who had gone through the first round of Biggest Loser/10-Pound Challenge with me. We talked about how much harder it is to motivate ourselves the second time around. You would think after being pretty successful in round 1, we'd be extra motivated to keep going... but ummm... no.
Maybe it was the adrenaline of STARTING round one... and the great feeling nearly every week when you stepped on the scale and you were DOWN. Now it's HARD. It takes much more work to get the pounds off. And the holidays served as an awful reminder of all the yummy food we did away with for 3 months.
So we've vowed to re-group... and maybe a new sea of fresh faces eager to kick our butts will help motivate us THIS time around :)

I'm back for the biggest loser,round two- still working on getting the baby weight off... well, I can't blame him for all the weight, just a good chunk of it.
Glad to have you back Tracy- you're a great workout buddy !
Motivation is key, it's so easy to get tempted by yummy things- and I don't mean the tuna steaks !! :) I'm an all-or-nothing kinda gal, so when I get off track,and eat stuff I shouldn't have, i'm tempted to just throw the whole day/week away and stay off track, but i'm working on that. I've heard from both Mikkie and Lorilee, if you make a bad decision on food, get right back on track for the next choice. It's true. :)
