Weigh in Wednesday: Go Team Maroon!!



Today is the first day of the new challenge.

Starting weight: 133

Yep, that's right - I've gained 2.5 pounds since last week. I'm hoping some of that is water. Or PMS. Or anything but the piece of chocolate cake I had this weekend.

This challenge is gonna start out rocky for me. I had a birthday party for my nephew on Saturday, and a for a friend on Sunday. Not to mention all the stuff my husband has planed for my birthday this weekend.

(Sweetie, are you reading this? You do have things planned right? Don't forget to get me a card and present - go to the Dollar Tree today if you have to. I just want something to open on my birthday.)

Ahem, where were we?

Oh yeah, me griping because I'm only 5 pounds from my fast food/couch potato diet. I'm a month away from my next assessment where I get measured and use the body fat calculator. Which means for the next 4 weeks the scale is all I have to go by.

I just hope my team members don't kick me off for bad behavior.

    You are too funny! And who cares if it's from one piece of cake (it was only 1 right?), you had fun and you weren't totally out of control.

    Good luck!

    Count it as PMS. I cannot IMAGINE how one piece of chocolate cake could do that. ;) Chocolate is good, right?

    Good luck, Brooke!

    Well, let me be the first to say...

    Team PURPLE rocks!!! ;)

    You DO have a week full of challenges ahead but envision how proud of yourself you'd be if you'd be able to tell everyone you actually managed to LOSE weight during your birthday week. AND THEN BE THAT PERSON!!

    I know you can do it!!

    You can do it...give yourself some slack, your birthday is coming up. I agree it was the PMS.

    I highly doubt that piece of cake did it. It's probably a number of factors. No worries!! You'll get it off soon!!

    I hope you have a happy, happy birthday, Brooke!!!

    Oh yeah, and

    Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    You better look out
    TEAM BLACK is coming after YOU.

    ;o)

    hahaha! kicked off for bad behavior, i hope the same for myself! Happy Birthday week! I'm with the others, I don't think one little piece of cake can do that. That's gotta be water/slash/PMS. It'll go away! Good luck!!!
