Shape Challenge – Week 9 – 1lb
I like to wine. It’s healthy to wine in small doses, but not in large doses. But, when it comes to weight loss, wine-ing doesn’t get you too far. And, no, I didn’t spell “whine” wrong because I’m not talking about the act of complaining. I’m talkin’ the act of guzzling down some fermented grapes, Mama!!! For the love of Napa Valley – I don’t have the strength!! Last week:
Lauren – Week 9 – 1lb – total weight lost – 12 lbs – 148 lbs
Last week was a pour-salt-on-my-wound week. A lot of crap happened. That is a different post and a novel in itself. Won’t go there today. Just think of the worst week of your work, social and personal life and you’ll get the idea of last week for me. I ran like Forrest Gump, but drank like Mel Gibson. No excuse, I just limited myself to a 1lb weight loss. But, hell, I wined and still lost weight. Can’t complain, but you can image what will have to be omitted for the next couple of weeks… WINE!! Oh.. how I love thee… let me count the grapes..
I just got my October SHAPE with a half-naked Jennifer Love Hewitt on the front. I starred at it, drank my wine and decided to read on Tuesday evening so I wouldn’t jump out the window. I’m enduring her perky-boobs and defined abs tonight. Here’s the deal; I’m not oblivious to the fact that I’ve slacked for a month. I know it. I’m actually admitting it right now. That’s what I just did. So the results don’t feel as good as they should. Let me tell you something though, I have a side of me that is a kick-ass, strong woman and she won’t stand for slacking! I just felt a slap across my face. The strong side just slapped me. GOOD! BRING IT!
Ass is in the gym now! I’m going, Strong Woman Side.. don’t hurt me. The lesson I learned last week was that wine-ing too much will just ignite sweet love between your growing ass and the couch. That’s one love affair that is just mash-potatoes wrong.
If you’ve been trying to sweat it off – no matter it’s the SHAPE Challenge or whatever diet – put your weekly weigh-in below! Keep track with me!

Well, my starting weight = 143. Last week’s weigh in, down 1.5. This week, down .5 – putting me at 141 flat. My goal weight is 130. It is so far away. But, when I watch Biggest Loser and see some people losing 6 to 11, or more lbs in one week, I realize I need to get out of this “slack mode” I’ve recently entered and start back on writing down my foods and getting back to the work outs. The thing that would be best for me is if I could get my sleepy butt up in the morning to work out rather than sleeping in. Then I’d at least get it done and not have to worry about excuses after work for not doing it b/c it would be done. Does anyone else have this problem and what do you do!?!?!? Please help!

Melissa- I have that problem as well. I no longer work out in the mornings, but when I did the only thing that I could get myself to do was swim laps. It was always really refreshing, and by the time I got home from work I’d be exhausted. (BTW I just hit my 100 lb lost mark last week!!)
