Between the BLs (Biggest Loser) Summer Challenge 2010 Part 1

[maiziezoe]

Hi everyone, hope you all had a good weekend. I did the WW walk it day challenge and jogged/walked a 5k with a friend! Felt good. Then she and I went shopping to see what size I am and what styles look best on me. I was so excited because I came home with size medium shirts!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always been an xl or xxl so this is a huge difference for me! I also tried on the 4 different styles of jeans at old navy to determine what style works best for my body type!

Tomorrow I start my new job and I am so nervous, but at least I should look ok!

I need to go to bed so that I will be fresh for tomorrow.

SarahMay

Congrats!!! I LOVE Old Navy jeans and shorts. Actually, I love all Old Navy. Yesterday I realized that 85% of my clothes are from ON. Don't tell my hubby.

 

[donac]

Sending good thoughts your way for good tests results. Enjoy all the 8th grade stuff!



I think a big dinner every once in a while is not the end of the world. And if you look at it, you ate almost nothing the rest of the day.

Kathy and Lisa--Thanks. I've been working on some of the meditation breathing stuff today, and it really does make such a big difference. I just need to remember to do it! Biofeedback sounds good, but our insurance is terrible this year, so I'm guessing we would be paying out of pocket, but might still be worth looking into. And I have pacs, Dona, I believe, has pvcs. It's just still amazing to me sometimes how frequent they can be.

We had a nice day today. Spent a lot of time working in the yard. We had gorgeous weather. The spring weather we never had, since we went from 60 to 90. Spent some time floating in the pool. I also booked DS's plane tickets. He's coming home at the end of the month for a long weekend.

Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow.

Taryn--I'm glad you're getting excited about your trip!

I am glad that the meditation breathing is helping. I am on medication but it also helps with my bp. My family history is for high bp (both mother and father). My doctors is a firm belliever in family history. You can work to fight it but at one point you have to give in. It is not a sign of weakness to use medication.

Good luck on your new job.

Congrats Jen and Corrine on the great runs.

 

[flipflopmom]

Well, at least I'm drinking my water.
Time to watch the Celtics and fold some laundry. Crazy morning tomorrow but hopefully I will get home by 12:30. Still have some dusting and cleaning to do before my parents come. I've taken Tuesday and Wednesday off due to stuff for the kids but those things won't take all day so I'll get stuff done those days as well.

Yep folks - that's why we call her the Energizer Bunny!!!!

When we decided in March to do the 1/2 marathon, we followed a 1/2 marathon training plan to be sure we could handle the miles. My make-up is just cheap, old Cover Girl. I guess make-up just sticks to me well! I do promise to be back on plan tomorrow. I know that running does not mean I can always eat whatever I want...but for tonight it was fine with me! Time to get back to my report cards!

1. I bet you were starving yesterday! I won't say you earned or deserved it, because I am trying not to think of food as a reward or treat, but I will say that I am sure your body need fuel! 2. I sweat too much for makeup to stick to me when I am running! 3. Which plan did you use? I looked at Hal Higdon's, and if I do each week twice for the sake of my ankle, I think I could handle it, starting on about week 5 since that is what I am running now.

Im glad your excited for your trip as you should be. I always get like that before trips too. Im not sure what it is. We leave for our trip to TN in a few weeks and Im not as excited as I should be. Im worrying about the money we are going to spend and the stuff I have to get together. Its dumb stuff but for some reason this always happens before trips.

I hope that by this time next week, I'll have a lot of my classwork done, prep for WDW done, and just enjoy!

Kathy and Lisa--Thanks. I've been working on some of the meditation breathing stuff today, and it really does make such a big difference. I just need to remember to do it!

Rose - I'm going to start reminding you every time I post to you! I'm so glad it is working for you, maybe come up with something you can connect it to, like when I XXX I'll do my breathing.

I too had a bad food day, went to a baby shower and grazed all afternoon!!

Shower food is definitely one of my downfalls, I love bite size stuff, but it can definitely add up quicker than you think! Good job getting a walk in!

QOTD: What is it about WDW or DL that pulls you back?

There are so many things I love about WDW, but I think the answer to the question for me is the immersiveness of it!

DH and I stayed at the WL for our honeymoon, and that was my first trip. We agreed then that we would NEVER stay off property if we could help it! I know what you mean!

I woke up this morning to scary skies... so I decided to skip my run and clean

I need to do that every day! I do get the stuff picked up, but within an hour, there's stuff out again. What I really need to do is shampoo my carpets.

I was so excited because I came home with size medium shirts!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always been an xl or xxl so this is a huge difference for me!

Good luck today! I know you will be entering your job with a great amount of confidence, which is a wonderful side benefit of weight loss!



I am happy to report that for the first time in a while (probably 2 months) I only have a .5 gain for the weekend!!! I usually lose .5lbs from a run, so I am feeling very motivated to knock out some pounds this week!

I am pretty nervous for my torch run this morning. It works like this. Most of the sheriff's dept. and about 5-7 teachers are meeting in an hour at the sheriff's dept. We'll have a lead patrol car, and several officers and 1 teacher will run at a time. (I think we've nominated them to carry the actual torch). There is a van that we will all ride in, and from what I understand, each teacher will run a while, then trade off, and THEN REPEAT! This is the part I am most nervous about, b/c it takes me a couple of miles, sometimes close to 3, to get in my groove. AND I haven't done in run stop run intervals since I finished C25K. I don't know how my legs will handle the stopping and going again! I would prefer to just run 5 and be done. Also, we are running on the hwy from our sheriff's dept to the county line - about 20 miles, A LOT OF IT UPHILL!

Sorry for the book, but laying it all out there helps me think about what I have to accomplish this am. I am hoping I can just make it fun. I think I have a slow, short, shuffly stride that I have adapted to take impact off my ankle, but I am a little intimidated, b/c the other teachers run halfs and fulls on a regular basis. I'm the rookie of the group, but was honored to have been asked by my principal to participate w/ these "elite" runners.

When we are done, I'll get to come home and shower and have lunch before I go in for my workday, so I'll report in - if I'm not in a wheelchair!
QOTD up next!

 

[flipflopmom]

HAPPY MONDAY!!!! I know some of us are a little upset with our weekend food habits, but the beginning of a new work week is the chance to start over.

As I read our posts, it seems as if most of us do really well for breakfast and lunch, eating and packing basically the same things or at least we are in control. It looks like dinner is the hard spot - figuring out what to eat and how to work it in our schedules.

Monday's QOTD: What's for dinner?

I am hoping that this question will have a two-fold purpose. #1. It will make us think in advance about what we will have, and make better choices, (and if you don't check in until after dinner)#2. will give us all some ideas for healthy dinners for the upcoming weeks!

Tonight is a gymnastics night for DD1. I'll drop her off at 5 - her nana will feed her something right before she leaves, and then she'll have her post workout bowl of cereal when she gets home. DH will pick her up, so he will get something somewhere. Honestly, he will make that choice for himself.

When I get home from dropping her off, it's simple dinner night for myself and DD2. Which means: I'll have a lowfat turkey sandwich and a side salad of greens from the garden, some veggies, and low-cal vinagrette dressing. I'll fix DD2 a plate of veggies and low fat ranch dressing, an apple, and some peanute butter, and maybe some fat free yogurt, too, depending on what she had for lunch.

Have a great day all!
Taryn

Wow that sounds interesting. Now what is the reasoning for you and the teachers to do this? Good luck Im sure you will do great.


What's for dinner? Well my dh is not going to be home for dinner so I will just make the kids a grilled cheese, applesauce and baby carrots. I am going to have a salad with ff-ranch and sliced tomatoe and a cheese stick. Most likely I will have some watermelon as dessert. Kind of a boring dinner tonight.

 

[tigger813]

Good morning ALL!

Just back from my 2.7 mile walk with my neighbor. I'll do more later!

FLIPFLOPMOM_ Yup That's me the Energizer Bunny!

QOTD: What's for dinner? I haven't a clue! I need to do a meat run at the grocery store. I guess I can take out some chicken that we can grill this afternoon before dancing! I also still haven't grilled those Vidalia onions. DH is home today so we can eat around 4:15 this afternoon before taking GG1 and her friend to dancing! Friend's mother will bring the girls home this afternoon which will save me some time.

Laundry's folded but not taken care of yet! Dining room and living room need work today as well as the kitchen.

I need to get moving now. I'll be back later!

Edit: Came home and took some steak tips out of the freezer. We'll have some potatoes and grilled Vidalia onions with the steak. I will be getting in 3 miles when I get home from work and then another 2-3 tonight on the elliptical!

 

[lisalisalisa]

Sunday QOTD: What is it about WDW or DL that pulls you back?

It is my happy place. I still feel the same when I walk in as I did on my first visit. DH and my boys love the place and we have had the most amazing family trips there.

Back in 1994 DH and I worked together and I knew that he liked me a little. He went to Disneyland Paris with his family and bought me back a Disney cup. He just left it on my desk but I of course knew it was from him. I asked him whether he enjoyed his trip and he said it was amazing. It was then I knew he was the man for me!! We went to Disneyland in California for our honeymoon and are returning this year with our boys for our 15th wedding anniversary.

Monday QOTD: What's for dinner

I am not sure yet I was hoping to get to the grocery store but my little one is poorly. There is plenty of food for DH and the boys and I will probably have soup and a salad.

Well done to Jen and Corrina on your 1/2 marathon runs. I am in awe.

 

[MushyMushy]

What's for dinner?

I'm just going to try to work with what I've got for a change. I have some chicken breasts in the freezer and some corn on the cob sitting on the counter. Maybe I can pull together enough for a tossed salad. Not very exciting, but hopefully it'll help make up for all my mistakes during the weekend.

 

[Rose&Mike]

I am glad that the meditation breathing is helping. I am on medication but it also helps with my bp. My family history is for high bp (both mother and father). My doctors is a firm belliever in family history. You can work to fight it but at one point you have to give in. It is not a sign of weakness to use medication.

Thanks Dona. I don't look at it as a weakness, but more that I react so poorly to so many medications, side effects, etc. We'll see how it goes. My bp has been ok so far, at the high end of ok at the doctor, but the cardiologist and my doctor think it's white coat syndrome. No family history of high bp that I know of. Thanks for thinking of me.

QOTD--leftovers--hummus, some veggie pasta, and maybe a garden burger.

Have a great day everyone! I went to the Y this morning and now it's time for work.

 

[lovedvc]

Im glad your excited for your trip as you should be. I always get like that before trips too. Im not sure what it is. We leave for our trip to TN in a few weeks and Im not as excited as I should be. Im worrying about the money we are going to spend and the stuff I have to get together. Its dumb stuff but for some reason this always happens before trips. I know when it gets a week or so away I will be excited. Glad you are at that point and so glad you are staying the extra night. Im sure it will make for a much better drive home!

I have a big trip 4 weeks from now and we will be gone for a total of 15 nights. 7 days on a carnival cruise and 7 nights in Disney with the Dining Plan. I am excited but not excited. I am worried about the money, the packing, the food. The last 2 nights I haven't been able to sleep. I haven't started my trip nightmares yet. I usually have bad dreams where I am at the airport and I forget my passports or leave my money home. It's awful, I get myself so worked up. The excitement will come when the suitcases come out. Right now I just have things piled in the corner of my room. Everytime I think of something I tell the kids add it to the pile. The money, well you only live once and I'm gonna enjoy myself just not too much. I have to stay away from the roulette table. The food, well I've looked at the cruise menu on line. There is a spa menu that's much lighter. I can do it. I usually gain 6 lbs on vacation and I'm okay with that as long as I get the last 7 off before we go. Lots of shrimp and salads. I will definately bring my gym clothes.

This morning I woke up and I'm at the weight I was on Friday morning, which is great. I hate waking up on Monday with a gain for the weekend it makes the week a complete battle.

QOTD: It's funny that this question was asked today. Last night I decided to shake things up a bit with my diet. I have protein shakes in the house that helped me lose weight in the passed. So tonight that will be my dinner at least for the next 4 nights. I am eating a normal breakfast and lunch with a shake for dinner. I want to win the Lose Before We Cruise competition that I have with 4 of our other cruisers. One guy is up to 31 pounds lost but he started out much heavier. My husband kept telling me last night I know you can do it baby. That's all I need is my husband in my corner he is my biggest cheering section. Okay I'm rambling, I woke up in the a great mood time to start my day. See you all later. Good Luck today.

 

[redwalker]

QOTD: What's for dinner?

Tonight we are having Broccoli and green beans roasted in olive oil with a little sea salt, fish w/panko breadcrumbs-roasted, and rice pilaf. This is my kids favorite meal.

Feels good to be back with all of you. I have been in contact with some dog breeders, I am on a wait list for one, and waiting for news on a dogs hips from another. Feeling good about our potential new family member for the fall/winter. Makes me feel better we have some prospects. Although, it doesn't mean I haven't stop shedding tears over my old friend, but the thought of a new one gives me hope.

I am still setting my goal at 125 for the end of the summer. There is no reason why I can't attain that. The only thing in my way of reaching goal weight would be Me... I am also thinking about doing my 2nd half-marathon in Oct. I think it would be fun, and good to have a goal like that out there.

Congratulations to all of you who reached your goal on the last challenge! To those of you, who didn't...that is ok, what matters is that you are here, continuing your journey. I didn't make my goal either, but here we are marching on. Never give up, Never surrender...(it is a silly quote from Galaxy Quest, but it is true).

 

[lisah0711]

I learned something while cleaning today... my floors are NOT made by Fisher Price or Mattel... I actually have hardwood floors under all those toys. *gasp*

Hi everyone, hope you all had a good weekend. I did the WW walk it day challenge and jogged/walked a 5k with a friend! Felt good. Then she and I went shopping to see what size I am and what styles look best on me. I was so excited because I came home with size medium shirts!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always been an xl or xxl so this is a huge difference for me! I also tried on the 4 different styles of jeans at old navy to determine what style works best for my body type!

Tomorrow I start my new job and I am so nervous, but at least I should look ok!

How fun to fit in smaller sizes, SarahMay! Good luck on your new job today! I know you will be great!

Corinna - I am so glad that we were there at the end for each other! I think that we must have both been keeping each other going because I know that running with you I felt inspired by all your experience...so THANKS to you!

How fun that you could run that last distance together!

jen, I think your body needed some fuel last night. In Marathoning for Mortals they talk about what your body needs to recover so I would say you took care of that! It was mostly real food, too!

Kathy and Lisa--Thanks. I've been working on some of the meditation breathing stuff today, and it really does make such a big difference. I just need to remember to do it! Biofeedback sounds good, but our insurance is terrible this year, so I'm guessing we would be paying out of pocket, but might still be worth looking into. And I have pacs, Dona, I believe, has pvcs. It's just still amazing to me sometimes how frequent they can be.

It takes a few weeks for the breathing to really kick in so give that a try for awhile. You know you always have the biofeedback to fall back on. I myself take BP medicine. I have a strong family history, I had high BP when I was 18 and weighed 125 so if a little medicine is what it takes to keep my here with my family, it's a small price to pay.

We stayed off-site once when someone gifted us a stay at a timeshare. That was great of course. It was super nice, we had laundry in our place, and there were many great things about it. But we didn't like that we felt like we LEFT our vacation every night when we drove off the WDW property. I know everyone feels differently and some love staying off-site for many reasons. But it comes back to that immersive feeling I love! Gotta be back on-site, which we will be in August!!!!!!

I love staying onsite. It is part of the magic for me..

I hope that by this time next week, I'll have a lot of my classwork done, prep for WDW done, and just enjoy!

I am pretty nervous for my torch run this morning. It works like this. Most of the sheriff's dept. and about 5-7 teachers are meeting in an hour at the sheriff's dept.

Taryn, good luck with your torch run today. I am sure that you will do great! for your busy times. Thank goodness a trip to WDW awaits at the end!

I have no idea! I have jury duty today so DH will be in charge of dinner tonight. I will suggest spagetti because it is easy and I can easily just eat a small portion and I have lots of salad makings in the fridge.

What's for dinner? Well my dh is not going to be home for dinner so I will just make the kids a grilled cheese, applesauce and baby carrots. I am going to have a salad with ff-ranch and sliced tomatoe and a cheese stick. Most likely I will have some watermelon as dessert. Kind of a boring dinner tonight.

Sounds pretty tasty to me!

Another person who wishes they had done a little better in the eating department over the week-end but the scale doesn't show too much damage. Hopefully I will have lots of time to walk around the courthouse today and get in some extra steps. I have my exercise clothes in the car. Maybe I can run around Lake Coeur d'Alene at lunch if the weather lets up a bit.

Have a great day all!

Hi redwalker! Nice to see you. for missing your wonderful companion. It will be fun to have another dog and I found our new dog helped remind us of all the entertaining things our old dog did when he was younger. Just like with the kids, you have a tendency to forget some things!

You can make your goal by summer!

Hi All:
what's for Dinner?
hmmm...good question-for me it will be salad and grilled chicken...DD's not sure-DD1 has gymnastics and DD2 isn't feeling well...probably chicken and salad for them as well.
Enjoy your week everyone!

 

[JOANNEL]

I am still amazed at all the support here. You guys are great!!

I got on the scale to see how much damage I did!! I am the same as friday, I am so happy!! I guess the walking helped!!

What's for dinner??- Left overs, DH will eat his left over pizza and I will have the left over salad. With the kids gone we are trying to eat what's here and get the fridge and freezer empty!!

Thanks again for al the support. I have a step class this am and a walk with a friend tonight!!

Have a great week all!!

 

[Leleluvsdis]

QOTD: What is it about WDW or DL that pulls you back?
WDW makes me feel like a kid again! It is a wonderful feeling to go back to that place where I have so many childhood memories. It makes me forget about everything else that has been going on in life, and remember what is most important in life and what is most important to me, and that's my family.


Monday's QOTD: What's for dinner?
Well... tonight's dinner probubly won't be so good if I had to guess. Today is DH and I's 2 year anniversary so we are going out to dinner for it. So I'm sure it won't be great, but I'm thinking a salad, somekind of chicken dish and a sweet potato sounds really good, a probubly a fruity beverage of choice lol

Good luck today!! My friend Craig did that run yesterday.

 

[Connie96]

Monday's QOTD: What's for dinner?

I wish I could get in a groove with dinner. The daycare DD goes to provides a late meal right before 5:00, so she is never hungry in the evening. She usually has a snack around 7:00, but not a real dinner. That is good and bad. It's good because if there are errands or whatever, I don't have to worry about her being hungry while I do what I have to do. It's bad because family dinners just don't happen and I don't plan for it. DH and I have such different tastes and different nutritional goals, that planning just for the two of us has always been less than optimal. This is one of the reasons I love going out to eat - so we can each order whatever we want without having the mess to clean up, or double the mess even.

Anyway... Dinner will depend on whether I decide to go for a run tonight. If I do run, I'll have a turkey sandwich as soon as I walk in the door this evening and go run about an hour later. If not... well, I'll just have to keep thinking...

 

[flipflopmom]

I'm back, and I'm beat. I ended up running 7.5 miles, which is 2.5 more than I've ever done in a day. Most of it was under my usual time, I had my first under 10 minute mile EVER! (No gas problems, either. ) I did walk a couple of really steep hills, but it was great! I am on an endorphin high! I burned 1000 calories on this run, probably due to intensity and starting and stopping (I did 4 legs of the 17 miles). My hamstrings are on fire right now, though!

We all went to the cofee shop for lunch, and I worked too hard to get a frozen mocha like I wanted. Did well w/ half a turkey sandwich with a slice of swiss, no l/t/m or chips!

Off to take a quick shower before heading to workday. Hope to finish up my records, and do a few little things!

I'll check back in tonight! Have a great day all!
