Yet another reason why I’m having a hard time being fit; Parties and Church activities. We held a pumpkin carving contest at our apartment last night. We won for the 3rd straight year! The picture is kind of silly. We have our pumpkin crowns on.

Welcome to week 6 of the Stubz Fitness Challenge. We have separated the uncommited from the pack. Give a round of applause to Megan for leading the mileage with 61! That’s more than 10/week. Good job. Andrea had a great week and pulled away as the biggest loser. 9 lbs and almost 7 inches. I hope she took a before picture. If she keeps it up she will have lost 18lbs by the end of the challenge. But, it is still anyone’s game. There are 3 people interested in joing the second round so I will start posting their results along with these results once I start receiving them.

I emailed my fitness challenge pals about my interesting weekend. Last weekend I was out of town and was treated to 3 buffets by my in-laws. Needless to say, I gained a lot of weight. In fact, I was at about 235 before the trip and by Sunday evening I was at 241 (which was my starting weight for the fitness challenge). I was pretty depressed about that, 6 whole lbs. To make it worse I haven’t had time to go jogging at all this week. I’ve had several job interviews and am behind on my school work. Well, I went back to my normal eating habits this week and, surprisingly, have lost all the weight I gained over the weekend. Not only did I lose the extra weight but I’ve lost 2lbs beyond that. I really think I triggered my metabolism with the all-you-can-eat buffets. This morning I weighed 233 which is the lowest weight I’ve seen in several months. I don’t really recommend this because who knows if it works everytime for everyone. Also, the rollercoaster weight is kind of hard to handle. Instead play this fun game. Maybe it will trigger your body to burn more calories.

Sorry, I haven’t been updating much lately. I’ve been busy and was out of town all weekend. That’s why I didn’t remind anyone to send me their results and that’s why no one sent me their results. I had buffets all weekend long so I’m in the negative weightloss range. Megan reported 11 miles and a loss of 1/2″ in her waist. Josh will join the challenge and has lost 3 lbs so far.

Ok, so I didn’t remind everyone to send me their results. You all obviously haven’t gotten too excited about this challenge yet. On the upside. Megan finally saw some results and took the lead in miles. Andrea continues to lose and has easily lost the most percentage-wise. I hope you like how I separated the lbs and inches in the totals chart. If you still want to add your information just send it on down and I’ll add it. Keep up the good work everyone. One Month Down. 2 more to go. Hopefully we’re still gaining momentum.
