Weight Loss Update & Giveaway

August 2nd, 2009

Shameless! Avert your eyes!


I am doing my first BlogHer review. I don’t typically do reviews on products unless (a) I think that it will somehow benefit my readership (THAT’S YOU) and/or (b) it is a product that I really do think is worthwhile.

In this case, I did a review on the new Acer Timeline Series Laptop. I really believe that computers should be made for the masses (i.e. affordable) and Acer is a company that works really hard at being accessible at a range of price points.  We’ve had ours for a couple of weeks with nary a problem at all.

As part of the review, I get to give a laptop away to one lucky devil. Check out the review and contest guidelines here.

Woot!

Okay, on to the news at hand.

I wish I could say that I’ve been really diligent about going to the gym, but I haven’t been at all. It’s been so hot here that finding the motivation to get EVEN MORE sweaty seems pretty ludicrous. Instead, I’ve really been trying to watch what I eat … staying away from the things that may have gluten in them. There have been mess-ups for sure, but for the most part two or three meals of indulgence does not mean a setback. In means that I am leading a real life.

I know I said that I would post a “progress picture” last week, but I really couldn’t get a decent picture of myself because (a) I don’t know how to use the timer function on my new camera and (b) I really need to invest in a tripod. Instead, here is a picture of my latest weigh-in:

You can imagine my sigh of relief knowing that I am down 2 lbs. from last week. Nothing increases your motivation like things trending in the right direction.

This week’s goal? Getting back into the gym routine.

    At least you’re headed the right direction. I was losing more weight before I was trying. Time for me to get focused. At least when I read you, I feel like I have a sister in the weight loss struggle. (I’d post my weights, but my boyfriend reads my blog on occasion. And I don’t think my ego could handle him knowing the actual numbers.)

    Well, good luck to both of us in the coming week!

    Oh i know what you mean about the hotness in Seattle!!!! The last thing on my mind during that past week was the GYM (unthinkable), but somehow my friend managed to drag me there and there was air conditioning and it was so much better than stewing at home. Luckily things have simmered down to perfect these days :) .

    The universal rate of succeeder of these weight loss courses of study which are always competing with from each one other is more or less the comparable. And the most comic part is that these programmes all fail at the one vault in wound of doing really tall claims. This happens because the trunk gets habituated to the rigor through which it is order and corrects itself to the new routine and the metabolic process slows down. You have to be brainier than nature to be able to magic the body into falling back weight. Without following this footprint then you will invariably curiosity why you cannot turn a loss weightiness.

    I’ve truly loved browsing this – many thanks. I have to beware though since I’m SUPPOSED to be working hard and wouldn’t like my employer to notice me. LOL
