2:38pm: Guess what guys!!!

In the Biggest Loser Challenge, last week's results from Monday's weigh ins were posted in the paper and I'm in the top 5 women for total percentage lost from the beginning of the contest! I've lost 3.675% of my total body weight so far.

I weighed myself today in the locker room (they use the same scale for the weigh ins) and I've already lost 2 more pounds since Monday. So, if I can lose another pound or 2 by Monday, I'll be really happy. Still, 2 pounds is good. I really wanted to lose 20 by Cabo, but I guess I shouldn't push it.

I know I need to increase my calorie intake. Some days it's okay but most days I'm still doing about 800-1000 calories. I know I never get up to 1400 anymore. I am burning about half of that (the 800-100) in my daily workouts so it seems to be balancing out. If I increase my calories to a steady 1200 a day I should make myself work out an extra session each day to make up for it. I'm getting the nutrients because I drink my protein shake every morning.

The great added bonus is that people are constantly telling what a huge difference they see and how great I look. I had a meeting this morning with one of my clients I haven't seen for about a year and he was telling me how he could really tell I'd lost weight and that I look great. :)
