Day 8 & Week 1 Results

Another morning and at 5am I didn’t want to get up. Last night our scale produced a lot of drama at my house. My husband informed us that the old scale we have has always weighed about 5-6lbs light. This totally screwed the girls starting weight up and Kitty cried for about an hour because she weighed 7lbs more to begin with…to make a long story short, I added the 7lbs on top of their starting weight. This morning when we weighed, it was more drama, because Kitty was certain that she gained weight because the new digital scale (yes, I went and bought one, so we could have an accurate scale to weigh on) read 2lbs more than her original starting weight. I started to get mad – I went and got the old scale and took her weight – she was down 5lbs! She had the hardest time comprehending that she lost weight, but her starting number was wrong.
This drama on top of Kiki not being able to find her shoes that she apparently had laid out last night at the foot of her bed, but that had now magically disappeared – put me in a bad mood. We got to the school late, so we were only able to complete 3 miles. Mile 1 was fine and everyone was happy, but mile 2 and mile 3 consisted of the girls crying, me yelling and wondering WTH? am I doing out here! I finally just stopped and told the girls (or maybe yelled-whatever) that I am now doing everything that I know I can to help them. We are getting up at 5am every day and my house is only stocked with good healthy food. There had to come a time when they decide that they want to lose weight and be healthier for themselves! I just basically said that they can’t blame me anymore!
At the end of mile 3, Kitty had a whole new attitude and Kiki was puking over to the side. By the time they walked over to the truck – they were different kids. All is good…
I’m just shaking my head, because even with the complaining, whining and crying – they get through it! Wouldn’t it just be easier and less exhausting if they cut all that other stuff out? Shish!
Breakfast was a burrito: Egg beaters w/spicy chicken sausage in a low fat tortilla. (Straight from the Biggest Loser cookbook -Yum!)
For all of you that have emailed me about our before picture - #$^(&*^^$^%(*^!)&*&%!!!!!!
I wanted it to be dark and not really noticeable on purpose! But, since this is a “weight loss” blog, I realize the need to completely humiliate (I mean motivate) myself to push towards even greater results.
