Biggest Loser

I am the biggest, and I am the loser. I guess the holidays weren't kind to me. As of this morning, I'm officially putting an end to this contest. My final result:

206

Ouch! So after all is said and done, after the months of eating healthy (yeah, right) and exercising (well, at least a little bit), I ended up with a net gain of two pounds. In the words of Jennifer Aniston, "that's not cool." Anyway, I guess it's not bad... but it's not good. Probably the only positive that I can take from this is that I now have a "pre-wedding weight." Months and years from now, I'll have a goal that I can shoot for.

Oh, by the way, did you realize that the wedding is...

FOUR DAYS FROM NOW!!!

Numbers

Having a job as an accountant, I see lots of numbers throughout my day. Here are a few numbers for you:

16 - days left till our wedding. Can you believe it?
17 - days till we're in Hawaii for our honeymoon. Definitely much warmer over there.
8 - days till Christmas
7 - days left for me to start and finish my Christmas shopping
14 - days since we've last posted a blog entry. Sorry guys; it's been busy.
63 - days since I've posted an entry in my own blog. Slacker.
204 - my weight in pounds when we started our Wedding Weigh-In weight loss challenge
198 - my lowest weight in pounds during our challenge (about two weeks ago)
203 - argh... my weight in pounds the last time I checked (about a week ago)
124 - Cy's weight in pounds when we started the challenge
118 - Cy's lowest weight during our challenge (two or so weeks ago)
? - Cy's current weight
9 - days till our challenge is over
290 - guests (ourselves included) attending our wedding
260 - guests our reception hall can accommodate (in a dining setting). Um... you do the math.
48 - degrees (F) that my thermostat read inside my house when I woke up this morning. Once I get married, I can't be as cheap... er.... cost-conscious when it comes to turning on the heater to keep the house warm.

Where We Are

Wedding Weigh-in Week 5

11/26/08
Nelson - 201
Cyryl - 121

What happened to week 4? Whoops! Anyway, here's where we are.

FYI, I weighed myself on the Friday after Thanksgiving, and it's not looking so good. BUT... it's not official till we both weigh in, so we'll wait till week 6.

BTW, can you believe it's only 34 more days away?

NO MORE EATING OUT!

I've been pretty unhappy with my weight lately, i guess the fact that I know that the wedding is like a month and a half away is making it worse. I made a promise to myself this week that I'm no longer going to eat out (as much) anymore, maybe at the most once a week. I also started counting calories today. Hopefully this dedication and hard work will pay off in the long when i beat Nelson!

Progress?

Wedding Weigh-In Week 3

Nelson - 202
Cyryl - 124

Hmm... progress? Sure doesn't look like it. I guess we slipped a little this week. But maybe this isn't the case. We've been eating pretty conservatively and have been in the gym pretty regularly. Well, you know that I'm in the gym pretty much every day, but Cy has been there a couple times this week already. I can't make any excuses for me, but Cy has probably put on a little muscle, which reflects the gain in weight. Still, she hasn't gained any more than when we first started. And as long as we're feeling more fit, that's all that matters, right?

Wedding Weigh-In Week 2

Ok... update on where we are:

Nelson - 201
Cyryl - 122

In all fairness, Cy has been sick these past couple of days, so she hasn't been able to work out as much. We've been watching what we're eating, but it'll get tougher as the holidays approach. The contest continues...

Wedding Weigh-in Week 1

Nelson and I just began a competition against eachother to see who can be the most fit by the time of our wedding. We've gone to the gym together twice this week and we're trying hard to watch what we eat. 2 months left!

So far, i'm in the lead!

Nelson: 203 lbs.
Cyryl: 124 lbs.

Saturday 11.1.08 weigh in.
Nelson: 202 lbs.
Cyryl: 121 lbs.
