Weigh In Wednesday: Whole30 Before Stats
So it’s the start of Day 3 of the Whole30 and I’m still alive. I’m still not sure if I’m going to post daily updates throughout the week or if I’ll just do a weekly update post. There are several other bloggers who are doing the Whole30 this month so I am going to host a weekly link up for us to check in with each other. Every Monday we will link up our recaps of the week. This way we can stay accountable to each other and get meal/planning ideas! So be sure to come back on Monday for our first link up! Now let’s talk “before” stats. Here…

Coffee Date & Dietbet
Good Morning Friends! I’m so excited to share a cup (or 3) of Coffee With you! Things are crazy around here. SO much is going on right now.

This is the third one I’m…

Weigh In Wednesday: Stuck in a Holding Pattern
Whew- Wednesday already? It has been a whirlwind of a week for sure. I just realized that since last week’s weigh in I have only worked out twice! We left at 2am on Friday morning and spent the whole day in the car driving some equipment down to my family in Florida. Spent Saturday and Sunday with my family and left to drive home at 2am Monday. So we spent close to 40 hours in the car, had a short time to get things done while in Florida which meant no workouts and less than stellar food choices. Not to mention road trips always make me dehydrated. I don’t…

Weigh In Wednesday: Dietbet Round 2!
So it is the first week of the Spring Break Shape Up Dietbet. That means it’s weigh in time! So this weigh in is actually from Monday, the official start of the dietbet. Let’s just say coming into this weigh in I was NOT looking forward to it at all. Last week was just crazy stressful and I didn’t do any meal planning or grocery shopping really. We ended up eating out way more than I’d like to admit, and eating stuff I wouldn’t exactly endorse for a healthy lifestyle. The truth is sometimes that happens. I’m not always perfect. It isn’t always green juice and grilled chicken. On top of…

Weigh In Wednesday: Final Dietbet Weigh In
Ooooh Man… it’s here! The Final Dietbet Weigh In!!! This was tough. When this started 4 weeks ago I thought it would be easy. I could crush it on my workouts and just clean up my eating a little. But dang. That’s hard during Christmas and New Years! I usually gain at LEAST 5lbs over the holidays and vow to start fresh for the new year… or monday… but not this year! So, let’s get to the numbers… Last week: 191.6 This week: 187.6 Loss/Gain: -4lbs DietBet Goal: 188.2 <— BAM!

Weigh In Wednesday: Assess The Damage
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas! I plan on doing a fun recap but wanted to make sure I got the Weigh In Wednesday Post up so we could all link up, since I know how eager we all are… This week I wasn’t expecting a loss. I was just hoping I didn’t gain like 5lbs. I worked out like a champ, but my eating was WAY off base. Cookies, Cinnamon Rolls, and Dirt Cake… OH MY! I used “lightened up” recipes for the scalloped potatoes and green beans (although I wasn’t a fan of how the green beans turned out…) but I don’t think there was any…

Weigh In Wednesday {link up}
We just finished week 2 of our dietbet and Let’s be totally honest, I was not looking forward to stepping on the scale this morning. After last week’s big loss I felt a little over confident I suppose. I didn’t track my food, my tailors bunion has been acting up so I haven’t been running, and I went to Five Guys Burgers. And had pizza. And cookies (they were (mostly) paleo!) I still worked out like a beast at CrossFit (using 85lbs for Hang Cleans during the WOD yesterday!) – but wasn’t expecting a big loss. It’s the biggest loser second week on the ranch curse. Let’s just get to in… the magic…
