My Team~~We're Shaping Up!!

With inspiration from others on my team I've managed to accomplish many different 'challenges'. 

 

I challenge myself with making healthy lunches for H2B and myself, here shows how I fill a baggie with peanut butter and with a snip in the corner - a little squeeze - you can fill the celery stalk clean and simple and you can regulate how much you fill! and no mess!!

sometimes I amaze myself

snack time for the day

{yes the day}

includes a mix of

grapes, snap peas, and cherry tomatoes,

2T of veggie spread and a

serving of Triscuit Thin Crisps.

 

 

All my hard work has paid off.....

getting to the Last hole of my belt...

the weight loss isn't that significant

but I will take a NSV (non scale victory).

 

My ShapeUp team members that have decided to take the time to read this blog I thank-you, join in as a follower and leave a comment or two,

[there might be a surprise]

there's more yet to come,

more challenges to complete!

 

We Can Do This!

What the ..............

OK folks as in the title What the .......! On January 1st I along with many others joined the weight loss challenge from "The Sisterhood of the Skinny Jeans". My buddies are doing great losing their weight (Hi Jen and Bonny) while I have not really loss much my buddies have been doing great! So while I walk a lot in my job I have been also walking during one of breaks on the treadmill. Jenn and Bonny have reported significant losses I did well to loose my measly 1 - 1.2 pound. In a email to the buddies I commented that I needed to step up my game and 'Commitment! ' to also doing some treadmill work after work at home.

my email to my Buddies:
          Well I said I was going to need to 'up' my game and start walking at night on the ole treadmill, and in fact I did just that!! I was quite proud of myself, felt really good after, read some blogs, choose photos to post in my blog, relaxed in the tub, went to bed at my normal time still feeling good!...............Then the alarm went off!!! OH MY GOD!!!! I couldn't hardly swing my legs over the edge of the bed!!! Oh yea I thought I was in great shape for a my age! Apparently I was Wrong, wrong, soooo Wrong (hard to admit this-even to myself). I struggled with some of my movements at work, and then all I could do was laugh at myself. I'm doing this though! I'm doing my 2013 Word  'Commitment' !

Here's to Walking on!

We're doing this!!

OK so here's the deal, I like thousands of others do the Facebook thing, so while checking in the other night one of my "likes" The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans posted a 2013 weight loss challenge. Yeah ok your thinking Ugh! loosing weight, exercise, the dreaded 'D' word (diet). But instead I was already thinking ahead for a different twist to the resolution phase everyone seems to do. I am using the one word idea for 2013 and with my December 31, 2012 midnight post my 2013 word is Commitment!

Melissa Anderson is the admin for The Sisterhood and here is what the company overview is, "The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans is an online weight-loss and fitness community for people who's jeans are too tight! We feature online weight-loss and fitness challenges, product reviews and giveaways, healthy recipes, personal success stories, and a lot of fun!"

Once you liked the post you were in for the challenge you can have your own 'buddy' or sign up for one. Apparently with all the 'likes' a lot of us ended up with two buddies. WooHoo! I'm pumped! I heard from my team early this morning and have already started the ball rolling. Jenn has graciously volunteered to be Captain, (at'ta girl Jenn), and I voted for our team name of 'Skinny Jean Sisterhood'. I have also added a miles ticker to my blog and will update every week when I update my mileage at Daily mile. I'm NOT and most likely will NEVER be a runner and though this is a blog as a runners mom I will also add bits and pieces of my quest to 2013 miles with steps in 2013.

      

 

Here's to a fabulous year ahead!!
