Healthiest Loser Week 2

I feel like a slacker! I have about 4 blog drafts saved right now with everything (pictures, funny stories, etc) that I know some certain Grandparents are dying to see!! Unfortunately, I seem to have trouble uploading videos at work so I am hoping to resolve the issue today and if not maybe tonight after school...

In the meantime - yesterday was the beginning of week 2 (out of 8) for my healthiest loser challenge. I didn't do as well as I had hoped the first week, I met my goals only half way, yikes. On the positive side though, I was constantly thinking about them. Having my goals written down, near by, wearing a reminder bracelet and tracking my success makes me feel a little bit accomplished.

I have started each morning with a full glass of water, hoping to work up to 3 by the end of the 8 weeks because this helps jump start your system, makes you feel fuller and contributes to your 8 glasses a day in a big way. Also, tons of water is good for your skin and it is almost the ditch the make up time of year (I wore make up 3 days total last summer!)

This weeks challenge is to maintain your goals, keep focused, and find out what your strengths are, literally.

As you will notice all my scores are blank, I'm hoping to get these scores all plugged in by Thursday night, if you all promise not to laugh!
I just didn't want anyone who was following along to miss out or be held up with their own healthiest loser program.

Anyway, since I am reporting in - the inevitable begins...my progress after week one:
Weight Loss Percentage: .075%
In Pounds: 1 lb
Money Stashed Away: $5

I am happy with my week one results but to achieve my goals in 7 more weeks I need to really get focused and aim for 1.5% a week.

Happy crunching everyone!

Oh by the way, I got a jumpstart on Week 3 - it is really cool! Can't wait to share it next week :)
