Weigh In Wednesday: #HolidayWLC {link up}
IT’S HERE! Today is the Start of the Holiday Weight Loss Challenge Dietbet!!
Introducing… Weigh In Wednesday!
I weighed in on Monday, and it was a sobering experience.
Granted, I “let myself go” a bit this weekend since I knew this challenge was coming up.
So- Here is my official weigh in picture
Yikes.
I’ve been hovering around 192 since September. A few pounds up and down, but usually right at 192. But 196?! That is WAY too close to being back in the 200’s. I kinda wanted to be down about it. But I also realized it is my 6 Month CrossFit Anniversary. So I did a little collage to remind me of how far I’ve come.
So encouraging. Seeing all that progress made me even more excited to take on this challenge!!
My plan of attack this week is to drink lots of water. I have been using the Idrated App on my phone to remind me to drink my water. I’ve been tracking my calories using MyFitnessPal (my name on there is courtnorm), as well as using my BodyMediaFit which now links with MyFitnessPal. It’s pretty awesome. As far as eating goes, I’ve been focusing on lean protein and veggies. I pretty much eat spinach with everything.
I’ve also been trying to run more, since running 40 miles is one of my December Goals. I’m using my Believe I am Journal to track it and it makes it fun!
If you are joining us for the challenge, feel free to use the hashtag #HolidayWLC on twitter and instagram. Each week I’m going to host this link up for us to check in on each other. Also, It’s not too late join! The pot is up to $5860 as of 8am this morning!
What are you doing to stay on track this holiday season?

You’re doing great, try to keep it clean through most of the holidays! I started at 286 and I’m down to 176. Goal is around 150. I’ve also been hovering here for a while, but the crossfit games is my new inspiration! I desperately want to lose 20 pounds before 6 March. So that’s my goal, set goals for yourself and believe! You’ve come so far, you can do it!
