Time for the Redecopps to weigh in (verbally at least)

We’ve been plugging away at this since the day after Thanksgiving (Oct 12). Every morsel of food heading into our mouths has been weighed and measured. Our daily calorie counts are 1100 for Theresa and 1300 for James. This week, it’s party time! We’re being raised to 1300 and 1500 respectively. WOOHOO!

As we didn’t have a proper (read: accurate) scale until week 2, we really don’t know what we started out at. However, now that we have a shiny new scale, we have been watching our numbers drop daily. It’s amazing the power those dropping numbers hold (even if they are on the right side of the decimal). Fantastic motivation.

Our treadmill has replaced our popcorn maker as the ‘most used appliance in the house’. The rule is that we can only watch our PVR’d shows if we are on the treadmill…and the treadmill has to be turned on ;) (Yes! That needed to be said!) For someone who absolutely hated exercise, I now find that I’m loving the 1hr dramas on the treadmill.

Hopefully this weight loss will result in record breaking speeds down the tubes at Canad’Inn in a couple of weeks.
