It’s that time again – weigh-in Wednesday!
I’ll admit that I was very nervous about stepping on the scale this morning, especially because of the Super Bowl and my one pound weight gain last week, but…
I lost 2.2 pounds this week! That’s a total weight loss of exactly 6 pounds since Danny and I started the Diet Bet four weeks ago.
That means I lost 4% of my body weight and will win the Diet Bet! However, the Diet Bet doesn’t end until tomorrow, not today, like I thought. As long as I don’t gain a pound overnight, I’ll be good.
I am very excited that I hit my 4%. I honestly wasn’t sure if I’d make it. And I still have a day left, so fingers crossed…
Danny did great this week. He lost 2.8 pounds for a total weight loss of 16.2 pounds! Great job, Danny!
Danny’s strategy these last few days has been to run like crazy on the treadmill…mine has been to drink a crap load of water. I guess both strategies worked.
Drinking a lot of water is a great way to aid in weight loss. It revs your metabolism, helps you feel full, cleans the toxins out of your body, and keeps you hydrated. I 100% believe that drinking a lot of water has helped me lose the weight. You should drink at least half of your body weight in ounces in water a day.
I don’t measure my water, but I know that I drink probably more than that. I use this cup everyday and drink from it all day long.
Breakfast
Breakfast this morning was half of a grapefruit and the new passion fruit clementine Fage yogurt.
The yogurt was okay. I’m not a huge passion fruit fan, but it was very flavorful. I didn’t taste the clementine at all, just the passion fruit.
Half of a grapefruit and a yogurt might seem like a small breakfast, but I usually eat when I wake up before I work out, and then I eat again right after I workout – kind of like two mini breakfasts instead of one big breakfast. Post workout was my normal snack today:
Today’s Workout
- Elliptical – 14 minutes
- BodyPump – 60 minutes
- 1.33 miles treadmill, walked
My abs are super sore today from yesterday’s Butt and Guts class. My abs rarely ever get sore. I don’t know if I have weaker ab muscles from having two babies or what, but even if I do a lot of crunches they don’t often get sore. So maybe this is a good thing.
Have a great afternoon!
- If you’re doing the Diet Bet, did you meet your goal?
- Do you drink water? Enough water?
- Do you eat breakfast every day? What time?
- What body part seems to get the most sore when you workout? Today my abs are sore, but it’s usually my legs!
***Don’t forget – Today is the last day to enter my Crunchmaster giveaway!***
Way to go, Heather! That’s awesome about your weight-loss (and winning the bet tomorrow!). I eat breakfast every single morning at almost exactly 6:45 am, because that’s when I’m in the car on my way to work!
I eat breakfast, usually between 8 & 9. It is usually something small, like a protein bar. Not in a diet bet, but I have lost 6 lbs since the 2nd week of Jan.

Wow – great job!
I almost sent you another msg the other day to tell you Im betting you would be pleasantly surprised with your weigh in! Well done!! Remember my carazay 72 WW pt Super Bowl Sunday? I was down .5 lbs this morning! Score I will take that seeing as I ate my weight in toll house cookies! Bring on the water challenge Im drinking a big ol glass right now
Thanks! Good job on the .5 pound weight loss! It shows that one day of eating bad won’t ruin your diet as long as you get back on track
I gained this week:( I was wondering where you buy the clif minis? I have searched everywhere!!!
Target. It’s the only place I’ve seen them! They’re in the back of the store at my Target, not by the other bars.
Congrats on hitting your weight loss! I did to so let’s hope for some winnings from Diet Bet!
I know it said that only winners need to submit final weigh-in pictures, will they be giving us another secret word we need to take a picture with? I want to submit my picture and be done so I can enjoy my dinner tonight! Lol
I believe they’ll be sending the secret word sometime today – I hope it’s soon! Great job!!
so proud of your progress
I have been slacking off with working out and dont know what its like feeling sore anymore 
Thanks! I think we all need a little break sometimes – just ease back into working out
Great job!!!! Although I am not trying to lose weight, just tone this Mommy body up – I am loving the meal ideas I’m getting from your blog. Keep up the good work! http://www.colorushealthy.com
