I am officially back & in buisness!!!
Well, I have been back from my vacation for about two weeks now! I have been meaning to get on here and blog my weight and get back on the ball for awhile, but I kept forgetting to weigh myself in the morning, and then when I did... I forgot to blog. What to do?
So it is late at night and I usually weigh in the morning, but I honestly want to do this post to get back on some accountability. I guess it will just seem like I lost more since I weighed at night and not in the morning. So here is the damage from my vacation days and NOT dieting. I noticed that I forgot to put my last weigh-in so I guess I will just go with the last one I posted but i think i was down 2 or 3 lbs from that...can't remember.
June 20 - 155.2
July 27- 156.8
It was fun to be in Thailand and wear a bikini in Bali and not feel fat! It was great! I had so many people encourage me and tell me how great I looked. I guess that made it all worth it- despite the fact that I didn't win the competition. I had one friend even tell me she coveted my arms...never had anyway say that before! I felt honored. Although I feel content for the most part where I am...I want to keep losing. So let's see how this goes.
I will also be traveling in the next month. While I am visiting Amber she informed that we would eat healthy! So that helps a lot and is actually great for me too!! I will try to keep you posted!!
Here is a picture of me and April. April actually won the money in the competition! So here are your 2007 Skinny Minnies!!

Skinny Minnie Competition Update
As many of you know, I put together the Skinny Minnie Competition among 6 co-workers. We each put in $50 making the jack pot $300. The competition started April 1st and ends July 1st (which is in 5 days). The jack pot goes to anyone who meets their weight loss goal. So it is split by those who achieve it.
My personal goal- 14 lbs
Weight loss as of today- 11.6
Missed my goal by 2. 4 lbs (there is still 5 days)
Honestly... I am pretty bummed about missing my goal by just 2.4 lbs! Damn. I am trying to have a good attitude about it. It was a lot of hard work to miss it by 2. 4 lbs. I have been pretty bummed but I am trying to remember that even though I didn't win the cash, I still get the prize of being almost 12 lbs lighter!! Thanks for all your support and encouragement.
I will be leaving for Thailand and Bali tomorrow (slight chance today). I will not be updating and I will be enjoying beef, Starbucks, good quality American food, cheesecake and 7eleven slurpies. So i plan to have some weight gain, but I plan to continue losing after I get back. So keep checking back to this website!!
I know that my friend April has achieved her goal and lost over 17lbs!!! I am so proud of her. You have worked hard and I am glad you were able to meet your goal!!!

Alicia Needs Encouragment
Hi Everyone. This is Shannon, Alicia's sister. I don't know if she remembers that she gave me access to her blog when she first started it. She may be regreting it right now.
If you get the chance encourage Alicia. She is in the last week of the competition and she has 4 pounds to go. I know she can do it but she needs a little confidence in herself. So cheer her on and lift her up!!!
You can do it, Alicia. I believe in you!!!!

Weekly Weigh-in Wednesday June 20
Several Weeks ago - June 4- 154.0
June 20- 155.2
Total: +1.2 lbs
My apologies for not blogging and posting my weight in over two weeks! Shame on me! My parents completely surprised me and came to visit Delhi and so I didn't take the time to weigh-in or rather even remember to do it.
Because my parents were here, my diet kind of went by the wayside because we ate out a lot. Pretty disappointing, but they were definitely worth it!! Therefore, I have gained over a pound. BUT I still have about 10 days till the competition is over- so I plan to keep persevering and working towards that $300!!
I would like to say, that I am feeling really good about myself. I took tons of pictures these past 10 days with my parents here and it felt good to like the way I looked in all my pictures!! I can definitely see the difference. Even though it is showing that I have lost lbs- I still feel like I am loosing inches. My clothes continue to fit looser and looser!! Yay.
I leave for Thailand and then Bali a week from today. I plan to eat lots of beef and Starbucks- so the diet will fall by the wayside until I get back.
I posted lots and lots of pictures in the past 10 days cause of my parents. You can see more of my progress on this site. http://namaskarsa.blogspot.com/
Thanks for your encouragement!!

Last Week- 157.6
This Week- 154.0
Total Loss- 3.6 lbs!!!
I am super excited about this weeks progress!! I knew it would be 2 lbs, but the 3rd lb was a suprise. This week, I went back to phase I of the South Beach Diet and I have also been sick all day Saturday and Sunday (i have been peeing out my butt). So I guess the combination of the two made for a great weight loss!! yay. This puts me in good standing to have a chance to still win the competition!
Weightloss Recap-
Since January - 20lbs
Since April 1 - 10.4 lbs (only 4 to go..I think I can do it!)

My Diet Meltdown
So this week, I had a diet Alicia melt down. I was discouraged to say the least about my Skinny Minnie Competition. I h
ave done pretty good with my weight loss since January (about 16 lbs) but since April 1 I have only lost a little over 6 lbs. So really, I have only 5 weeks left to loose about 8 lbs. So pretty much, I have lost the competition. Suck. I think my body has kind of plateaued which is bad timing and typical of weight loss.
So anyways...I decided to take about a 3 days diet break! I can honestly say that I feel like a NEW woman. I felt like a little kid at Christmas as I ate a roll. It tasted like heaven in my mouth!! It was amazing. Then I took a spoonful of icing and sprinkled coconut and ate it and...yes...I feel restored. It has felt really good to eat all the things that have been off limits for the past 5 months. I think its enough to keep me going till the end of the competition. I already feel like I have a new focus and new excitement.
This is a picture that was taken yesterday at the American Idol party. I thought that I could see a lot off improvement and it encouraged me. I think I just need to stay focused and just work hard to the end. I also haven't posted a picture of myself in awhile.
Please pray for me. I can get really discouraged when I look at people around me who never struggle with weight issues. I know balancing my weight if a life time goal. Pray that God gives me great and endurance to keep loving dieting and learning self-control and discipline!!
I still plan to wiegh-in on Monday. Let's see what happens. My fingers are crossed.

Weekly Weigh-In
Last Week- 158.4
This Week - 157.8
Total loss- .6 lbs
I have this much to say...I am relieved I lost this week BUT not because I didn't try. I actually worked out 5 out of 7 days for 45 minutes on the treadmill and also did some conditioning. However, all week when I got on the scale it kept showing a gain not a loss. This morning was the ONLY morning i saw 157...or any LOSS so as you can imagine I was THRILLED. I wanted to see 157 this week and I did!! I feel some sense of accomplishment.
I am really close to losing the competition if I don't loose more soon! But I haven't really slacked off to much and will continue trying till the end. So even if I don't win, I feel like I will still have accomplished a lot. So we will see....my fingers are crossed.

Visual Motivation....
So I made these thanks to Kelley's inspiration and plan to disperse them in my room for visual motivation...any other ideas out there?
I need to be focused!!
Yesterday, I had the great opportunity to hang out with Kelley all day for Mother's Day. So as we were laying out by the pool we were discussing this whole Skinny Minnie Competition and wrapping our minds around exactly how much $300 is.
Here are some options-
- a New Wardrobe
- A ticket to Disneyland when I am in CA
- A ticket to Sacramento to see Jon and Cat
- spending money in Bali
Really $300 is a TON of money! I need to stay focused. And if I reach my weight loss goal, I will also be excited for myself because I will have the honor of being a "Skinny Minnie". So there are just too many good things going in this competition.
This week will be kind of pivotal in my weight loss. Because I have 8 lbs to STILL loose in just 6 short weeks. So if I want to do this, I am going to have to put my best foot forward.
This week things to improve on-
- NO CARBS whatsoever this week
- NO Sodas this week whatsoever
- I will work out everyday that I am home (45 minutes on the treadmill ladies) and of course good ol' conditioning.
This weekend, my team is going out of town for a retreat. We will leave Thursday morning. So I will have to be extra careful this weekend and try to avoid unnecessary junk.
