Would The Real Slim Jeffy Please Stand Up?

Forgive me for the brevity today, but I'm on a tight lunch schedule with a trip to Subway included.  I'll try to post again before the week is over, but here are today's results:

Goal 1 - Undo Last Week - A

I'm more than willing to pat myself on the back.  Not only did I lose the 3.6 lbs I gained last week, but I also managed to lose an additional 2.4 during my birthday week that featured a few celebratory dinners including this thing:

In case you're wondering, yes, it was amazing and yes, I did bring half of it home to eat the next night.  Somewhere under all of that shaved beef and horseradish is a burger.  As you are sitting there being outraged, remind yourself that I lost 6.2 pounds this week.  I also may have eaten a couple pieces of Oreo Blizzard Cake.  It was my birthday!

Goal 2 - Add a Weekend Workout - F-

I didn't do it.  In the immortal words of Forrest Gump, "That's all there is to say about that."

Goal 3 - H20, Agua, Eau, Wasser, Water!!! - C

I tried to be more mindful than I was the week before, but judging by the fact that I lost another three pounds of water, I didn't do a great job.  Guess that means...

This week's goals:

Goal 1: See A Water Percentage Increase

This goal shall remain until forward progress has been made.  

Goal 2: Hit the 20 Pound Loss Mark and Get Into the 230's

I'm sooooo freaking close.  I lost 25 lbs of fat, but I've offset that with gains to my monstrous guns.  I know this goal should be a gimme, but just like in the game of golf, I've missed my fair share of two foot putts.  Losing 1.6 pounds while gaining water weight this week could be a challenge, but I think I'm up for it.  That puts me in a really good position to hit my 235 goal by the end of December.

Goal 3: Push-Ups and Sit-Ups During Commercial Breaks

I should be home most nights this week, which means that I will be following the regular routine of sitting on the couch eating SmartOnes Peanut Butter Cup Sundaes while watching singing reality shows.  My goal is to do 60 sit-ups and 60 push-ups every night.  If I start watching TV at 6 and go to bed around nine, that means I have about 20 an hour to do, or 10 every half hour.  When I break it down that far, it doesn't seem so far out of reach.  I might need to build up to the 60 push-ups, but last night I busted out 20 on an incline pretty easily, so we'll see.  Feel free to roll off the couch and join me!

Finally, I just want to send out a huge congratulations to Molly and Shelbi.  They've started doing the 30 Day Crunch together (even though they live seven hours apart) and are really pushing one another.  We've all set weight loss goals and we are all making major strides towards them.  As of this morning's weekly check-in, we've lost over 50 lbs combined since the beginning of October.  I think I can speak for all of us when I say we'd like to get to a combined 100 lbs lost by Valentine's Day.  That might require another family member jumping in on the project (ahem, cough, cough), but it isn't out of the question for just the three of us.  Anyway, I'm really proud of Molly for getting up every morning at 5 to work out, especially when I get to lay there for another hour, and I'm really proud of Shelbi for making some major lifestyle changes and staying focused on our goal.  Our wedding party is getting smaller by the day.
