Spring in 2 Action: Week 6

Becca — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 12:50:26 +0000

Argh. I think Brooke is right, I need to take a break and just focus on eating right and exercising and stop weighing myself for a while.

This Week: 150.8 lbs
Last Week: 149.2 lbs
Challenge Total Loss: +3.6 lbs
Total Weigh Loss since August ’10 (153 lbs): 2.6 lbs
Pushups:
Total for each day: 97 113 130
Maximum for one set: 25 28 33

I repeated week 4 for the pushups. This week was easier than last week, so I guess it was a good thing!

Spring in 2 Action: Week 5

Becca — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 13:02:57 +0000

It’s be a crazy week. I hope to do a real blog post soon, but now I’m just too busy.

This Week: 149.2 lbs
Last Week: 149.2 lbs
Challenge Total Loss: +2 lbs
Total Weigh Loss since August ’10 (153 lbs): 3.8 lbs
Pushups:
Total for each day: 97 113 130
Maximum for one set: 25 28 33

So I stayed the same weight this week, which is great for me considering my week! The push ups are getting super tough… I just finished up week 4.

Spring in 2 Action: Week 4

Becca — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 13:07:08 +0000

Sigh. This week was awful. A lot of stress with school and craving for chocolate. I think you can catch my drift. Honestly, I’m getting too close to the highest number again and that causes me to panic. I truly wish I had more time to work out and paid more attention to healthier eating options. I WILL get this under control.

This Week: 149.2 lbs
Last Week: 147 lbs
Challenge Total Loss: +2 lbs
Total Weigh Loss since August ’10 (153 lbs): 3.8 lbs
Pushups:
Total for each day: 72 80 88
Maximum for one set: 17 19 21

I’m doing decently with the push ups. This was week 3 on level 2.

Spring in 2 Action: Week 3

Becca — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 13:12:19 +0000

What a rough week. I ate a lot of crappy food this week… it’s been very stressful, but I stuck to the push ups challenge, yay!

This Week: 147 lbs
Last Week: 147.6 lbs
Challenge Total Loss: 0.2 lbs
Total Weigh Loss since August ’10 (153 lbs): 6 lbs
Pushups:
Total for each day:
Maximum for one set: 15

I’m considering doing cardio on the days I don’t do the push ups. I have all these Wii and Xbox games I need to pull out and dust off. The whole purpose of buying them was so I could workout at home. I need to get off my butt and stop being so lazy about working out.

Spring in 2 Action: Week 2 (really)

Becca — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 12:30:10 +0000

Whoa… how is it already Wednesday?! Last week I was a total slacker about the push ups but this week I bought the app for my iPhone and have pushed through. I’m proud of myself. I’m pretty sure my weight gain this week is muscle mass, and I’m ok with that, for now.

This Week: 147.6 lbs
Last Week: 146.5 lbs
Challenge Total Loss: -.4 lbs
Total Weigh Loss since August ’10 (153 lbs): 5.4 lbs
Pushups:
Total for each day: 30, 33, 42.
Maximum for one set: 10

So now that I’m a bit out of my exercise rut, I need to get moving more! The push ups are so easy and only take 5-10 minutes. I’m thinking of maybe doing the sit up challenge as well, not sure. We’ll see how this one goes first, I guess.

Go team D.U.M.B.O.S.!!

Spring in 2 Action: Week 2

Becca — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 16:25:50 +0000

I’m on spring break but I’ve done pretty decently with my eating, mainly because I’ve stayed away from junk food, but mostly because I’m drinking lots of water.

This Week: 146.5 lbs
Last Week: 147.2 lbs
Challenge Total Loss: 0.7 lbs
Total Weigh Loss since August ’10 (153 lbs): 6.5 lbs
Pushups: Total #FAIL. I kind of forgot to do them at all.

A lot of people asked where the team name “D.U.M.B.O.S.” comes from. Although I could really do a long post about this, it’s basically an inside joke with my friends from Sophomore year in college. Samantha and I met that year, I was a sophomore and she was a freshman. We lived a few doors down from each other in the honors dorm on campus. A lot of the girls on our hall were joining sororities, and my friends and I made up a fake one, with Dumbo as our mascot. Delta Upsilon Mu Beta Omega Sigma… or something to that extent. We were the procrastinators so that became our motto… “Procrastinators Unite!”

Spring in 2 Action: Week 1

Becca — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 13:20:45 +0000

It’s time for a fresh start! I’m ready for some action! Yesterday I did my initial pushups test because we’re doing the 100 pushups challenge. I did 10 girlie pushups. I’m not surprised by the low number because I have weak wrists. Hopefully by the end I will get better!

This Week: 147.2 lbs
Last Week: 145.6 lbs
Challenge Total Loss: 0 lbs
Total Weigh Loss since August ’10 (153 lbs): 5.8 lbs

Since this challenge is for buddies, I teamed up with Samantha, one of my BFFs from college. We decided to be “Team D.U.M.B.O.S.” which will only makes sense to a handful of people.

Power of One: Week 8 (Finale)

Becca — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 20:34:19 +0000

Today marks the end of this challenge. I’m debating taking a break from the Shrinking Jeans challenges because I feel like I’m at a standstill. I don’t know, I will still weigh in each week, but probably won’t blog about it. I’m not sure yet.

Anyways, I lost a little this week and at least I ended the challenge with having lost something.

This Week: 145.6 lbs
Last Week: 145.8 lbs
Challenge Total Loss: -.4 lbs
Total Weigh Loss since August ’10 (153 lbs): 7.4 lbs

Power of One: Week 7

Becca — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 13:42:02 +0000

See-saw.

In my defense, I’ve had a LOT of stress this week. I know the gain is water weight and I’m doing my best to check my habits and try to stay away from salt the day or two before weigh-in. That’s where my weakness lies.

I have a whole set of posts coming soon to explain the stress, so come back for those.

This Week: 145.8 lbs
Last Week: 144 lbs
Challenge Total Loss: -.2 lbs
Total Weigh Loss since August ’10 (153 lbs): 7.2 lbs

Power of One: Week 6

Becca — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 13:51:42 +0000

It seems that I’m just going back and forth during this challenge.

Last week I started to feel bad. Every time I ate, I felt nauseous or was fully pretty quickly. Yet, I knew I was hungry because my tummy kept rumbling. I weighed myself over the weekend, keeping in mind I weighed 146 last week. I figured 2 of those pounds were water weight and wanted to know if not eating was hurting me. I weight 141 pounds on Saturday. YES, weight does fluctuate, but I hadn’t been eating… it was like the loss of appetite when you have the flu.

I didn’t have the flu and I’m not pregnant. Apparently my symptoms matched up to IBS, and they all make more sense now. Thankfully, my appetite is back now.

This Week: 144 lbs
Last Week: 146 lbs
Challenge Total Loss: -2 lbs
Total Weigh Loss since August ’10 (153 lbs): 9 lbs

The bright side is that I totally didn’t eat much junk at all this week, no desire to, really.
