Ok, so we know I didn’t win the Move It or Lose It Challenge, last week I was in 4th place and I only lost 1 pound this week. It is ok though because even if I won the Exer-Walk shoes from Earth Footwear, I couldn’t wear them. Unfortunately, earth Footwear doesn’t make these shoes in wide widths and I wear a 7.5 Wide shoe. Some I am done trying to win Earth Footwear.
I am not done trying to lose weight though. I feel I did well this week. I got in all my water every day, I worked out 2 days and I bought a pedometer. I made mostly healthy eating choices (except for Thursday’s lunch at Friendly’s). Wednesday night I had a yummy sandwich from Subway! I also had no soda…again!
I lost 1 more pound this week! This brings my total to 8 pounds, which is only half way to the goal I set at the beginning of the Move It & Lose It Challenge but…oh well.
This week’s challenge will be birthday cake and soda. Tuesday is my birthday, Wednesday I will be at Walt Disney World and I can only lug so much water with me and I can’t stand the water they sell at WDW sooo…I need to see how I can make this work. Saturday is my son’s and my father’s birthday and our large joint birthday celebration will be next Monday 5/31.
Overall, this week is much less busy than the last 2 have been so I am still striving towards the goal of working out 4 times a week. I bought a new Leslie Sansone Walk at Home workout dvd so I’m excited to start that. I also keep bidding on and losing the Zumba Beginners dvd on eBay. Here’s to another week of Moving and Losing!
8 lbs ain’t nothin to sneeze at! You may not have reached your goal, but don’t discount what you have done!!!! You’ve done wonderful! Just keep it up & fight the soda’s allure! (For the water, you can grab the powder for Propel or even the Crystal Light, to change up the flavor & still get your water in!)

You know, I would have cake, in moderation! If you can psych yourself up to eat just a little, you can do it!
Bummer about the earth footwear because I have wide feet as well. Hm…
You’re doing great, though! I’m very proud of you!!!
Hugs babe!

Give yourself a break on your birthday.. or maybe at least eat a small portion of cake on your special day. But after that, focus on reaching your goal again.
Keep your head up Cindy! Even if you didnt win the challenge you changed your life! You can continue this weight loss journey and we are here to support you!
HUGS!
Remember – you didn’t try to lose weight and get healthy just for some competition.
Keep at it, you will have a better reward than shoes anyway – health and a better quality of life 🙂
You are doing great! DO NOT give up!
just make sure to get a small slice of cake and at disney you’re gonna get alot of steps so if you have a pedometer wear it that way you can see how far you went
happy birthday my birthday is middle of june
I am a day late from your post but here on time to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Have a great time at Disneyworld. Just take a bottle and refill it there. That is what I have done there, it is not bad water or anything. You have done a great job with the challenge though, be sure to keep up that work after your b-day celebrations.
