I am doing ok.  I was worried about how I’d handle the rest of the day when I saw the scale was STILL over 200 lbs.  But when I start to get sad or depressed, I just remember that I still LOST!  I lost 4.6 lbs and its better than a gain.  Its easier said than done but I have to be patient!  I have to remember where I came from and where I am now.  It wasn’t but 4 1/2 months ago that I weighed 249 lbs.  To be 202 lbs today, its a big accomplishment!

I met with Kevin at 1pm today and we spent time together going over my diet.  I wrote out every single thing that I’d eaten for the last 4 days.  Kevin helped me by critiquing it and identifying areas where I could make improvements.  The biggest point is…I DON’T EAT ENOUGH!  I have to eat 6 times a day.  Its hard!  I still have the mental block about eating so much and so often.  But I’m making a conscious effort to eat those snacks.  Its my goal these next few weeks to make sure I eat all my calories.  I have to fuel my body to lose weight

Then we researched a couple different supplements.  This will be added to my nutrition regimen starting tomorrow.  The additional supplement will help my body work even more efficiently.  Kevin definitely knows this business and continues to better ME!  I am toned and strong.  I have endurance and agility like I’ve never experienced before!  I am so thankful that he is on my TEAM

Week 7 is complete and after a 2 week twist in the competition, we were back to weigh-in!  It was hard to believe that 3 weeks or 21 days had past so quickly.  There is lots of news to share after my morning so here goes…

My weight is now 202.8 lbs.  I lost 4.6 lbs in 3 weeks.  Its good, its a loss but its not what I wanted.  Is it ever going to be what I really wanted?  Am I ever going to be happy with the results?  I just keep telling myself that its a move in the right direction and that this is NOT A RACE!  Slow and steady and I will hit my goal.  Can you tell that getting under the 200 lb mark is killing me?!  Its been 10 YEARS since I was under 200 lbs.  Its about time that I get there again.  I’m so excited!

So I keep going on the path that I’m on – - its the RIGHT way to lose weight.  My clothes are fitting different.  I’m officially in size 12 pants.  That’s a big accomplishment in and of itself.

Stay tuned for another update next week!  Is next week going to be THE week?

On another note – 2 of the guys have quit the challenge so that leaves only 10 people.  A 3rd guy didn’t show up this morning so we don’t know if he is quitting or if he just missed the weigh-in.  So, it could leave only 9 of us!

Anyways, since there are only 9 or 10 of us, there is no longer a separation of guys and girls.  There will only be ONE WINNER!  We are all in one game
