Warning: My blog seems to be experiencing some type of funky formatting where all of my apostrophes and quotation marks are replaced with letters. Sorry for the confusion and if anyone knows how to fix this I’d appreciate it as it’s very frustrating!
I can’t believe it’s been over a week since my last post – so let me get my updates out of the way first:
Yesterday, I weighed in at 230.8, which is a 2.1 pound loss for the week. This brings my total weight loss since 9/28 to 25.2 pounds. Yep, I’ve hit my first “milestone” of 25 pounds lost and have updated my sidebar accordingly!
You can see the rest of my progress here
Now for the Hot 100 Update:
As I previously mentioned, I’m not officially part of this challenge, because I got in too late, so this is just for fun.
My goals for last week were:
- No carbonated beverages. period. Sucess!
- Complete Week 1 Days 1-3 of C25K training. Not completely
- Bring my lunch everyday to work. Forgot 1 day.
- Cook dinner at least once this week. Failed.
- Don’t buy any holiday decorationsSucess!
- Don’t binge on holiday food.Sorta successful, had a little too much peanut brittle…eek!
- Go to the gym at least 3 days this week.Didn’t go any.
- Keep working at C25K Day 1.Success…did it twice this week.
- Eat at least 1 apple each day.We ran out of apples, but I did have at least one fruit each day (grapes, strawberries, orange)
- Walk/jog 7 miles.Epic Fail
The Hot 100 Challenge is hosted by Steve and you can read more about it here.
And a photo update:
Me on Day 1:
Me ysterday which was Day 77:
Whew. What a week. Just hectic ya know? Sorry I went MIA and hopefully it won’t happen again. I miss you people!!!
There’s so much to say, (about hitting a milestone, doing c25k, the heartwalk, arm update, etc, etc.) but I’m really tired and I don’t want this post to be any longer than it already is. I did, however, want to mention this awesome email I got from my sister in law. It completely made my day when I read it and brought a little tear to my eye.
I’m sooo impressed with the weight loss and the exercising thing!!! Maybe you’ll be my motivation to get my stuff back on track for the new year. I had thought I would quit smoking by or at 50 and get into a better exercise routine…and I’m behind on my routine exams. I think O’ll keep telling myself, “if a young mother of two working full time can make the effort and succeed at this, surely I can at least get started!” I’m proud of you.
Awesome, huh?
Well, I miss reading all of your blogs and look forward to doing some catching up tomorrow. Till then, G’night everyone!

You literally are shrinking! So quickly! Congrats on the 2 pounds that is AWESOME!!!!!!!
You are doing great Josie! Congratulations on two more pounds! 25 pounds is serious progress! Yay Josie!!
Wow, congratulations, Josie! The loss is starting to really get visible, whoohoo! Hope you’re recovering from the wild week and all is well in your world. (Hugs)
Josie, you are really doing an outstanding job. The pics tell the story, but the letter from your SIL makes it that much more interesting.
Regarding your blog, the letters that are replacing the apostrophes and other symbols are ‘codes’ used to generate symbols on the web. They shouldn’t be showing up on your blog, but occasionally they do. More often though, they are seen in an email generated from your blog that doesn’t use the web language. It could also be a browser setting on your computer. Everything seems to be displaying good on my end.
Josie, congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are not perfect so you have really done great! Pics show it! Love that email you got.. HOW NICE! You should be very proud!
Everything looks goo on my end, with regards to your blog text.
…and your picture! Holy Moses, you are looking good. And you’ve hit that milestone. Congrats!! Those clothes are getting very loose.
Oh, and don’t beat yourself up too much about the goals–I think you’re doing great. And you’re inspiring others–nothing better than that!
Josie – first of all, congrats on your 25 pound milestone! You’re looking fab in your newest picture, too! You did pretty well on your goals, much better than I’ve done as of late.
I bumped my head when I fell off the wagon and I need to get my arse in gear!
Good to see a post from you, I was wondering where you disappeared to!
Much love,
Erin
Wow…what a difference in your pics!!!! Congrats on the 25 pounds milestone, I SO want to hit that soon. And you did good on the Hot 100 too! Since you aren’t officially in it are you going to continue it into the new year? It’s good to have weekly goals (something I haven’t done in a couple weeks, and is probably why I’m struggling…UGH).
Have an awesome day!
You sure can see a difference Josie. Great job. I am glad to hear you are starting to succeed with C25K. You will do it even if it takes longer. Keep up the great work.
It’s awesome to see these photos. A picture sure is worth a thousand words.
weight loss
Hey Josie, I know we all get busy around the holidays, but it is time for an update. Don’t let it bother you if you fell off the wagon during Christmas – you can get right back on it now. You are missed.
