    Wacky Wednesday Whoa!

    Whoa! Truth just slapped me in the face! Wow!  We have been in the challenge, it'll be 8 weeks this coming Friday.  Although I am quite pleased with what I have accomplished, I am a bit, to be put it nicely, worried.  I really hope that my daughter Erika, will put her health in the front line of fire.  I love her to death, but I've been getting excuse, after excuse.  Am I pushing her to hard?  I don;t think so.  At 200 lbs. she really needs to try to focus on her.  Push herself alittle bit harder.  There is so many health concerns lerking in our family, Diabetes, colon cancer, breast cancer, heart diease, strokes and so on.  I am worried about her.  I only hope that if anyone can win a trainer.  I hope she will.... She is one who really needs drive! She tells me to push her, bug her, I phone her everyday.  But I get hesitation on the line. Or I have to get into this routine.  Well, hell add just 30 minutes of exercise into your routiue.  Someone HELP me!  What shall I do?  I am torn, I don't want to give up, ( Hell  I won't).I Need Advice.  Anyone.

    Fifteen pounds of FAT gone

    WE DID IT!Open-mouthed Our team, My daughter Erika and I are down at total of 15 pounds!Wink This is amazing for us!  Especially Erika.  I am so glad that we are doing this challenge.   Open-mouthed Slow going but we are doing.  SnailThat is what is important. I am so happy.  Ever hear of the Happy Dance?  Well I'm doing it!!Girl

    Fat Friday Weigh In..Week 7...Are we afraid of the Scales?

    Ladies and Gents or Guys and Dolls !. FEAR of stepping on the scales.  FEAR that my hard work won't pay off. FEAR that I haven't lost.  Just down right FEAR! There was a time in my life that I threw them damn scales out the window.  Broke they did.  I lived quite awhile without those cussy little things. What I mean to say is that they are only numbers.  Just numbers, but we like to live by those numbers.  Don't we?  So today was my weigh in day.  I held my breath and I stepped onto to those mean little nasty number showing thing.  I lost a pound!Open-mouthed But my struggle is hard.  Because I am just loosing a pound here and a pound there.  Am I disappointed?  No, not really.  Because I am loosing these excess fat pounds slowly and I am not giving up. If I screw up,  I'm only human...I screw up. I just take my ass and move forward. I "Turn the Page" and I have been turning alot of those lately.  No one can predict what will happen in any day ,for any one's life. Stress, Happiness, Celebrations.and so on.  So this is why they call it a lifestyle change.  Damn right!  I do have exciting news to share.  Next Friday Feburary 29th is my 16th wedding anniversary.  I am so pround to let everyon know that I WEIGH LESS than I did on my wedding day.  Isn't that some accomplishment? So I am pleased for what I have done,  So al of us who get on those scales with FEAR you are not alone.Surprised Will I face him (FEAR)again next Friday?   Yes, it'll still be there......BUT....I judge my success with the inches lost and the way my clothes fit on me, and most importantly the way I feel about me.  How about You? Tell me your fears.....

    Measurements.....OOPS!

    Well, well, well, I did not take my measurements as I said I would.Tongue out  But, who needs them anyway?Wink   Just kidding.  It really is a good tool to have. Espeically when the damn scales don't want to move or budge any.  Disappointed    My thunder thighs were up to 25 inches, and now those lovelies are 22 inches.  My arms are 12 inches and they were 15 inches. My waist was a 38 now it is 33.  As for hips, I got a big ass anyways, it was 44 now it is 41.   Bust , another bigger there.......is 42 down from 44.  My clothes are baggy and that tells me I'm shrinking.  I did take them earlier on before this challenge and I have lost alot... I went from almost a size 18/20 to now a size 12.. YAHOO!!!
    It is great when you go to buy clothes in a size SMALL instead of a size X-L Angel I am on the road to home ( or as one would call it, GOAL)Open-mouthed and it is getting harder and harder for the weight to drop.  So at this point I promise I now will take those measurements and keep up my spirits when those scales (Damn things) decide that they don't want to give me any good news. Whew, now I do feel better.  Got that off my chest.........Chow

    Biggest Loser Week 5/ Disappointing ARGH!

    What The F#$K  Baring teeth   Today was my weigh in , for week 5, and the FRICKEN scales did no move....NADADisappointed Damn, and I increased my workout.  Weights, Time etc.  I pushed myself really hard and stayed 100% to my diet and NOTHING, NADA!!  Crying What in caration is going on.  Last week I gained 1 lb.  This week I didn't loose nor gain. HELP! Should I reduce my exercise routine to 3-4 days a week instead of 5-6 days of week? I like to work out.  I can tell myself it is muscle gain, it really has to be becuase there is no way in HELL  that I have consumed 3500 or more extra calories.....OH my, maybe I didn't have enough calories..Thinking.I didn't really add them up...all I  know is everything I ate was extrememly low in calories.  This week I will be writing down every calories that goes in me.  Maybe that'll help.  I will do that.  I also will "Turn The Page" and finish what I started.  But, It is so disappointing when I am failing the last two weeks......Head Up! I'm gonna do this...I just got to.   I sure hope Erika has done better than I this week.  Erika just started her new job at the airport,so I believe she got alot of extra walking in here and there. I hope everyone else did better......I guess maybe next week, it'll be my week.   Funny but if I was on the BL show, sure enough I'd be the one goning home.....UGH!  Any suggestions please?

    Southern Tornados/ Survived them

    Just to let all know that we made it through the deadly tornadoes last night.   Total dead at count is 44.  It was a scary and deadly day/night.  The tonado took down a mall and a distrubition center.  Numerous homes etc.  It is an ugly site today.   This weather has gotten really bad as of lately.  But I'm alive and so is my family and friends.

    Wacky Wednesday/Biggest Loser's

    Whatever you want to call it.  Hump day. middle of the week, well I call it Wacky Wednesday.  I'm halfway through this week .  It is week 5 for my partner, Erika, and I.  I am proud to say that I have been 100% true to my diet and exercise. I actually added to my exercise workout, increased weights ,when doing the Power Sculpt.
    My great Husband has joined in my  exercise routine, which is wonderful, because he usually just ran on the treadmill 3x week.  Now he is working out and running up to 5 days a week.  I got him into working out with the Biggest Loser DVD.  using both the Cardio with the Power Sculpt.  We both use the Nordiac Trac, it has these wonderful ifit programs.  I also use the recumbemnt bike and ellip.  I thank him daily, because on the days I just don't feel like doing them, He DOES and vice versa.  I just need those pushes.  With that siad, I hope to see those scales move in a downward position this week.  My congrats to all who have all weighed in this week( those who have lost or stayed the same) bigger KUDOS with your lost, and those who will still yet to weigh in.  My weigh in is on Friday.  Until then   Chow!!

    Biggest Loser's at Superbowl Party

    Caution Ahead!! We all know what Sunday brings.....Loads of FOOD,DRINKS, and FUN. We must be careful to make the right choices when watching the BIG GAME! It might be great fun to share low caloric foods here with all.  I personally like baked BBQ ings instead of frying them.  Have celery, carrots, califlower,pickles for munchies.  Stay away from chips (unless maybe baked)  portion control.  And remember at half time.  Get down and give 20 puch ups, run in place, go out and throw a football.  Just get up and do something.  If having  beer, wine etc.  remember to count those calories, they add up.   5 oz. wine  120 calories..... 12 oz. Miller lite is 96 calories.  alternate drink witth water to keep you hydrated.   Oh and gang......Go Patroits!

    Biggest Loser Challenge Week4

    Glumly, miserable, Cloudy, describes the weather on a nasty day!  Well today is not a good day, it's down right NASTY!!  Today is weigh in day and I GAINED a Frincken pound.  How can that be?Crying  I was 100% to my diet program and I did all of my exercising. Drank all of my water  I did not comsume an extra 3500 calories to add a FRICKEN pound.  No, I am not happy. Baring teeth  I am going to take my famous quote and "TURN THE PAGE" go forward and finish what I started. I will continue to work hard and hopefully then those damn scales will move more next week.  Hell, I feel like I lost!  My clothes tell me that.  But, I guess the clothes and the scales are not talking to each other.Disappointed  I hope that my partner/daughter had a lost this week.  It is so disappointing when you don't lose and you've done everything you're suppose to. So how has everyone done this week?
