Nooooo!!Do you smell that?  No?  Wait… wait for it… Yep!  You guessed it. 

The smell of fresh cut grass.  Maybe.

Okay, so I lost Week 2, folks.  Apparently burning 50 gazillion calories during my 5k run wasn’t enough to push me past Hubby’s 2.2 pounds of weight lost this week.  Yeah, you read it right. 

Official numbers are as follows:  Hubby lost a total of 2.2 pounds this past week.  And I lost a total of .4 of a pound. 

I’m not discouraged though!!  Oh no, my friends, I have the heart of a fighter (poor Hubby, I know) and I am not going to give up!  Plus I suspect there are reasons for the small number this week.  I have a feeling that I retained a lot of water from the run on Saturday.  (I had been weighing less all week long until Sunday.)  And there are also feminine reasons that need no further explanation.  (Never in my life did I imagine that I would be blogging about that!!!)

This momentary setback only furthers my determination to win this Weight War!  GRRRRRR!!!!  (Can you tell I’m getting all pumped up?)  Help me stay motivated!!!  I don’t want to be that lady in the picture!!!  And I sure as heck wouldn’t be smiling!!!

What do you do to get all pumped up?!  How do you keep up your momentum and motivation?  And seriously, I need help with this one because summer and ice cream are synonymous in my mind… what are you eating instead of ice cream in the summer?!

You should compete on % lost to make it fair. ;) Although I suspect you would still have lost this week.

sorbet, baby, sorbet! They’re low in fat, and have no dairy i think…I get the whole fruits ones and they’re only 80 cals a stick - delish!

You can do it! My period always makes me fat.

Eat smoothies during summer…good for you AND easy to make.

When I want to stay motivated I think about how happy my sister is when I gain weight. I do it to spite her. Nothing wrong with a little sibling rivalry right??

A weight war– I love it!!!! I’ll have to keep reading to see what it’s all about. My hubby and I are wanting to try something like this- but details are sketchy. :)
