"Getting to Know You" er ummm...me

I am doing my best to get back in with the people and groups that used to be involved in. One of those groups is the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans. I really miss the interaction I once had with the ladies of the fabulous group and miss the challenges too. To get myself back into the swing of things, I decided to partake in the questionnaire "Getting to Know You' So, here it goes:

Name, City/State: Misty Martinsburg, WV

How did you find the Sisterhood? A friend

What is your biggest strength? determination

What is your biggest weakness? Wish that I could be more outgoing. Too shy and don't always say what I'm thinking.

What do you like best about your body and why?As awful as it is, I'm at a point right now, there isn't anything I like about my body ;(

What do you like least about your body and why? midriff...that's where all my weight tends to go.

What is your favorite type of exercise? elliptical when I'm in good enough shape to do it. Can't wait until I'm able to do those 5 miles a day again!

Have you noticed any improvements (physically, mentally, or else) since finding us? Yes, all the way around while I was as active as I could be in the group. Been struggling while I've been "away"

If you could travel anywhere in the world without thinking about cost nor time, where would you go? Australia

What superhero power would you like to have? to read minds..but then again I may not wanna know,. Thinking of the Jim Carrey movie  lol

Spring In 2 Action- Check in Week 2

This week has not been a good week for me when it comes to weight loss. Not that I am really suprised though. Last week I was down a whopping 6 pounds, I knew that most of this loss was from the stomach bug from hell I had acquired for several days. I was hoping I could keep the six pounds gone...but didn't happen. At least not all six.

Good news is although I am up from last week, I am still down from where I was the week before I was sick. So that's good new, right?!

I'm keeping my little 15# button over there -----> because I am going to do my best this week to work off those pounds that found me and be back at 15 pounds total loss by the next check in.

How did you do this week?

Previous weight 195.5

This weeks weight 199.5

----------------------------------

             +4

Total loss for the challenge: -2

Total loss since 12/21/10 : -12.5

100 Pushups Challenge

Although I have been hit with the worst stomach bug EVER, and have gotten absolutely nothing done, I did make myself keep up with the 100 pushup challenge. Didn't want to get behind! Today I finished Week 1 level 2 of the challenge. Of course I am only able to do the wimpy girlie pushups. Once this challenge is over, I am challenging myself to do it all again doing military style pushups!

Spring in 2 Action

Its time again for a new challenge with the guys and gals @shrinkingjeans. The last challenge, Power of One was an each man for himself type of challenge. This time with Spring in 2 Action, I've teamed up with Trish B for the challenge. We are the Vicious Vixens!

Along with the weight loss part of the Spring in 2 Action, we are also participating in the 100 push up challenge. By the end of the six weeks, if the plan is followed one should be able to do 100 push ups. Me, I have to start out with girlie push ups, I suppose I am wimpier than I thought, couldnt even squeeze out one regular push up. But thats ok. I will get there.

I am also challenging myself, to exercise every.single.day. in March. I will be keeping track on here how I am doing.

I am starting this challenge up a few pounds than where I was when the Power of One ended. But I'm not gonna let that get me down. Those few pounds are gonna be GONE next week!

We are ready rock! Lets get the party/challenge started!!! Woot!

This weeks weigh in stats:
