Biggest Loser 10 Fall Challenge -- for losers and maintainers :)

[keenercam]

lovedvc - I hope your recovery is smooth and not painful. Please take it easy and ease back in to the strength training.

Lisa - YAY! for being done CLE. I have all my credits I need by this December but I am still trying to schedule a 3.5 hour videotape CLE of a seminar that I actually WANT and NEED to attend. I've had to cancel 3 times due to unexpected "expedited" matters. UGH! Maybe I'll try to schedule it for the Tuesday before Thanksgiving since I could then leave from the video viewing site and get home early.

I feel like I am so far behind I can't ever catch up, but I'm going to take advantage of all the QOTDs Corinna answered:


11/4 Thursday QOTD: What is your favorite cookbook/ cooking magazine?

Umm, I don't really cook, certainly not enough to have a favorite. Sorry!


11/5 Friday QOTD: Think about where you were at the start of your journey and where you are now. List at least one positive thing that you have accomplished. This can be about anything--really think about how your life has changed. I know everyone has at least one thing, because I can think of at least one thing for everyone!

I am much more physically fit. I'm stronger, I have more endurance, and I've accomplished things I thought were just a fantasy. If you would have told me I could run half marathons, I would have laughed in your face!

11/6 Saturday QOTD: How did you find the DIS and other than the BL thread, where else do you "hang out" on the dis? Are you members of any other internet boards too? Have you ever done a trip report and if you have you could share the link.

Again like Corinna, I found the DIS through the Unofficial Guide. That book was made for me, I love all the details! I also hang out in the Leanies WISH Thread, my team thread Team Ohana, the Budget Board and DIS for Families.

11/7 Sunday QOTD: Question of the Day: If there could be a 5th Disney World Park what theme would you like to see? Would it be a fully extreme park or a combination like the other parks are now?

I'd like to see a fantasy animals park -- the long-envisioned "Beastly Kingdom". I think there could be some great animation and really fun attractions.

11/8 Monday QOTD: What is your favorite way to get yourself back on track?

A good book or plan! I am so excited for the new WW plan -- I really need it and I can't wait to try something new!

11/9 Tuesday QOTD: Name your 5 favorite condiments. Condiments are fun and add a lot of flavor without many calories (well maybe mayo and stuff can be overdone). Can be coffee syrups, jellies, barbecue sauce etc. Spices don't count as they are totally safe.



1. Salsa
2. Guacamole
3. Ketchup
4. Hummus
5. Cilantro -- herbs may not count, but I love it!

After next week, I will really be able to have time to post again. I am so looking forward to it! I worked 10 hours Monday, and got called in yesterday afternoon even though I was supposed to not have to work. I'm working all day tomorrow, when I usually have Friday afternoons off. I'm just worn out -- I got home Sunday night from a business trip. I wanted to take Monday off, but I had to go in and as you can tell my day never ended. I haven't even unpacked my suitcase. I am frazzled and it's starting to show. I may spend Saturday in a coma after my run...

Anyway, sending to everyone who needs it, to every one doing well, and to those like me who are trying to keep up and keep their head above water!

I forgot to thank everyone who gave me advice about the college planning session. We didn't go, but it is definitely something we think about, and I do realize ds's choices for 9th grade are greatly impacted by how he does in 7-8. Anyway, thank you so much for all the replies!

So here is my Wednesday QOTD: What is your favorite Disney-inspired quote?

When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you

Thursday's QOTD: Share your favorite lines from a song that speak TO you or ABOUT you. [/COLOR]

The Middle, by Jimmy Eat World:

Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).

Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.

The middle of my weight loss journey seems to be taking a long time (due to my lack of effort), so I think this is appropriate. I have to remind myself to keep going and do the best I can.

Just finished 2 more miles on the elliptical! I did it while watching a Disney Holiday special on HGTV on demand. Not anything special, saw it last year, but I'm getting really excited about my trip!

So I did 4.5 miles plus lots of cleaning and going up and down stairs. Drinking another big cup of water and I'll have another 1-2 more as well.

I had a mango-strawberry smoothie for supper. YUMMY! My friend ordered my Herbalife stuff and it arrived today so I'll be able to have shakes over the weekend.

I finally got confirmed to do a vendor fair next Thursday night in redwalker's town. I'm hoping it goes well to give me extra money for our trip. I then have one other event (home show) before I go away!

I think I'll go shower and take care of some things on my bed and look for DD2s carry on bag for our trip. I think it's in her closer somewhere! There are so many things stuffed in there I'm praying I can find it!

CC, don't study too hard. I'm sure that you know more than you give yourself credit for.

Great job, CC!!! Keep up the hard work -- it will all pay off! How long after the test do you have to wait for results? We'll all be biting our nails for you, you know.

Thanks! I lost the first attempt at posting this morning. I will try to reenact my excitement. LOL

I took a practice test this morning. I have a couple so I did one to see where I am. You have 4 hours to answer approx. 100 multiple-choice questions and two open-ended (essay length). I finished it and scored it in about 80 minutes!!!! I have to add more details to my open-ended questions, but the multiple choice-well, I'm in great shape. I answered at least 40/45 of the math questions correctly!!!! English is okay. I could brush up on poetry terms, but otherwise, I can relax. I have a few areas to focus on for both science and social studies, but I am much better off than I thought!!!!

I studied for 4+ hours each on Monday and Tuesday and over 6 hours yesterday. Today, I'm only at about 1.5 hours. I'll do some science and geography tonight, but I'm not planning 6 hours for tomorrow. Maybe 4. I'm going to sleep in tomorrow and Saturday because I feel a cold coming on and woke up pretty early yesterday. On Sunday, I will begin studying for the teaching reading test. I am not nearly as worried about that one, but I could definitely use a review. School districts use varying programs, techniques, etc., so I'm good with the ones I taught, but a review of the ones I haven't used is probably a good idea. Always better to use the lingo.

I should get my scores sometime aroun Jan. 1st.

Thanks for all the support everyone!

Connie: Don't push yourself too hard. Glad you went to the dr. for 10K.

Talk about stress eating. Today I was presented information that would get a fellow employee fired and quite possibly worse. And I'm obligated to report it. I want to keep eating until I vomit. NOT a good night.

 

[keenercam]

I am so excited for the new WW plan -- I really need it and I can't wait to try something new!

Maria - I am excited about the new WW program too. I think it will re-energize my efforts. So glad you have a light at the end of the tunnel. How long will your run be on Saturday? Cool song!

I finally got confirmed to do a vendor fair next Thursday night in redwalker's town. I'm hoping it goes well to give me extra money for our trip. I then have one other event (home show) before I go away!

Tracey - That is great! Will you be selling herbalife? or doing massages? There are several fairs and farmers' markets around here where people do shoulder massages and there is usually a line. I keep thinking if I trained to do massages, got licensed, and sprung for one of those really cool chairs, I might be able to have a solid part-time income


CC -Great job on the practice test!! Does your new job start after the test? I have been wondering how in the world you are juggling everything.

Talk about stress eating. Today I was presented information that would get a fellow employee fired and quite possibly worse. And I'm obligated to report it. I want to keep eating until I vomit. NOT a good night.

I am so sorry you are going through this. Sometimes doing the right thing is so hard. I wish there were something we could do or say to help.

 

[my3princes]

Good morning, everyone!
I am so happy to be your coach today. Actually, I should say "our" coach. It seems I learn so much when I stop to think about what anyone has posted and what I might be able to say to provide encouragement or consolation or congratulations. So, thank you for the opportunity.

I'll be back to respond to some posts, but I was so inspired by Jude's post, and reading all of those quotes gave me insight about your lives and who you are inside, whether because some quote makes you smile or brings you inspiration. So, taking off on that, here's the question:

Thursday's QOTD: Share your favorite lines from a song that speak TO you or ABOUT you.



This is what is speaking to me at this moment in my life:

from "Mountains" by Lonestar:

There are times in life when you gotta crawl,
Lose your grip, trip and fall
When you can't lean on no one else,
That's when you find yourself
I've been around and I've noticed that
Walkin's easy when the road is flat
Them danged 'ole hills will get you every time.
Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains so we could learn how to climb

I love Zac Brown Bands "Toes" It speaks to me because it makes me think of my dh every time. It came out about the same time as our trip to Cancun last fall. It reminds me of Cancun and just getting away. I It

e


North conway is in new hampshire near mount washington. They have an old railroad train, and do a polar express trip every weekend in december. We've never done it, I tried a couple times, and it was a raffle they drew early in the year, and we didn't get picked. I love that the Polar express kept your son believing. My son has been on the brink this fall, so we've started watching some christmas movies, and I think he's backed away from the brink for now. He said last night, "remember when me an taylor saw santas sleigh in the sky that christmas eve?" I'm not ready for him to not believe yet.

Hello to everyone I've missed. Off to get ready for work. Have a great day.

My mother, sil and her kids have done the Polar Express in North Conway. They had a good time, but it was a 2 hour drive to and from so that impacted the fun factor. They enjoyed it, said that the North Pole was well staged and they even wore their PJs.

White River Jct., VT does a much smaller scale version. It is a train ride on an old steam train, they serve a little toffee candy and hot chocolate and sing songs. I think the kids were all given a bell too. When the train gets back to town you walk to a hotel nearby where Santa reads a story to the kids and they get a goody bag. We've done that one several times as it is 10 minutes from home and priced very reasonably.

Talk about stress eating. Today I was presented information that would get a fellow employee fired and quite possibly worse. And I'm obligated to report it. I want to keep eating until I vomit. NOT a good night.

I know that it is hard to turn someone in, but it sounds like the person has put themselves into this position and must be aware of the consequences No point in tourching yourself over something that you did not cause.

 

[keenercam]

Well, my friends, I am going to call it a night for coaching. I am going to try to get to bed earlier than I have been. But first I have to clean my very messy kitchen. I made a huge vat of chicken apple corn chowder for the marching band's family tailgate tomorrow night. And I had such a great time making it. Andrew helped - he loves to do food prep -- and we had the best time talking for about 90 minutes.

Tomorrow night may be his last performance in his high school marching band career. The football season culminates with a game against the archrival school. At half-time, they do a senior recognition ceremony for the band and I know I'll be a sobbing mess. My BF /Andrew's Godmother will be driving 2 hours to come to the performance.

After the game, the drumlines march to the center of the field performing cadences the whole way. They face off at center field and do a drum-off, a la "DRUMLINE". Andrew is the captain of his drumline and they didn't have an instructor, leaving Andrew to the responsibility of running practices, writing cadences, creating visuals, etc. He is taking the drum-off so seriously, and the entire line has acknowledged his leadership with gratitude and typical teenage male backslapping. I'm really proud of him.

He is so outrageously excited about all the events tomorrow night and I am excited that Jenn is coming too to surprise him. And yet, I also know that we'll all be so sad at the end of the night. Being a drummer has been such a huge part of his high school career and it feels like the end of a very significant chapter in his life.

(His HS football team will go to state semi-finals at the very least and the band will go too, but it may happen while we are away for Thanksgiving. I hope they make it to state championships so Andrew can be there for that.)

In any event, it was a wonderful evening for me. I selfishly soaked up that time with him. Okay, off to clean the kitchen. Hugs, all!

 

[dvccruiser76]

Everyone hug your kids today. They held a candlelight vigil last night here for an 18 year old who went to meet someone he met online and was killed. They are looking for his body in a landfill. It's very sad.

That is very sad and scary. The poor boy probably was excited and happy to meet someone and look, there are just some bad people out there. It's scary to think about sometimes. Hugs to his family

Wow, dvccruiser76, you have a lot of fun things coming up. Even if your guy is too little to remember anything, he will have a good time just looking at everything, and if not, he is small enough to fall asleep.

I have two more four hour sessions of my continuing education course this week. I will be so glad when it is over -- it just drains me, it is hard to be stuck in one spot a big chunk of your day.

It's funny, I used to plan tons of things all the time and up until now we haven't been doing much since we have the little guy, but now that he's a little older, I've started planning more things for us all to do as a family.

Unfortunately he doesn't sleep at all unless he's in the car, at daycare during nap time, or in bed. I once took him into Boston and he missed 2 naps b/c he was too interested in everything and everyone around him to sleep. He has only fallen asleep in his stroller 3 or 4 times. It's nuts, if someone was pushing me around, I'd be happy to nap

Good luck with your class, 4 hours is long, but at least the end is in sight

I love the enchanted village, and remember my grandmother taking us to Jordan Marsh to see it as kids. Then we'd get blueberry muffins in the bakery. I've heard the North Conway polar express is amazing.

Funny you should mention the blueberry muffins, I'm kind of a foodie and my parents loved those muffins, so years ago after the Jordan Marsh Muffin Company closed, I found it in Brockton where it had moved to. It has since closed, but last year Jordan's Furniture got one of the original bakers to come to their store in Avon to make the muffins, so I'll be curious to see if they have them when we go. If you want, I can grab you one and bring it back to Danvers

Rose and Mikamah, where is North Conway? The POlar Express is an important part of our Christmas celebrations. The movie was released when my DS was just on the brink of not believing in Santa. After seeing the movie, he was able to keep the magic of Christmas alive for a few more years. Isn't it amazing that a movie can have such an impact on a family? I'll always cherish the memory of watching that at the theater with him...

Sorry to be jumping in here, but North Conway is in NH. In order to get tickets you have to enter the lottery. I entered, but didn't get a call. However, my MIL did so she bought the tickets. Today I got a call that my name was chosen, but I turned down the tickets, because we already had some. So, it might be worth giving them a call. They also have a Polar Express Train Ride in Newburyport, which is in Mass. I'm not sure if it's any better or worse than North Conway, but this one is being held on Saturday December 4th. If you are interested in that PM me, and I'll forward you the email that I got.

Today was exhausting. I left the house for work at 7am and got home from work at 910pm. I am beat. TOM really did me in this week. Eating was not great and somewhat out of control. I blame it on TOM but I know it is really me. I need to stop the excuses. I cant really say it was the whole week, mainly yesterday and today but I feel so gross it makes it seem like I ate bad for weeks. Tomorrow is a new day.

Congrats to all the losers and to cruisedisney no matter how you did it a loss is a loss. Great Job

I loved reading all the quotes and song lyrics the past two days. Here are some of mine:

Quote:

Have faith in your dreams and someday your rainbow will come smiling through. No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true.

-- Cinderella

Song: The climb by Miley Cyrus.

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

Tomorrow will be a new battle but I will keep on climbing!!!!!

 

[dvccruiser76]

I am really struggling. I know that I’m hurt. I know that it’s not getting better. I just want to get thru next weekend and then I have no problem taking some time off to heal. I just don’t want to have to give up these two races. I'm afraid to call my doctor because I don't want to hear what I'm pretty sure she's gonna say.

Hope you feel better soon

Today I found Peppermint Mocha Kahlua!!!! OMG!!! It is HEAVENLY!!!!

Yummo I need to get me some of that. We have a gift swap at work on December 23rd and usually have wine, but this will be much better. And festive

I made the BEST soup today. I found it on find.myrecipes.com. It's called African Sweet Potato Stew with Red Beans.

Mmmm that sounds yummy. Thanks for the recipe link

Well, I saw the doctor. She did a couple xrays and found no fracture. Since she determined that I had no serious injury, she said I could manage the pain with ibuprofen and "run thru it".

Glad to hear that you got the okay and you're clear to run

CANDY CANE COCKTAIL

Ingredients
1 shot vanilla rum
1 shot white chocolate liqueur (recommended: Godiva)
1 shot peppermint schnapps
Candy cane, garnish
Directions
Add all liquid ingredients to cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well and strain into martini glass. Garnish with candy cane.

I've got to make that one too

Not anything special, saw it last year, but I'm getting really excited about my trip!

When do you leave for your trip? Since I love to live vicariously, any good dining plans?

 

[flipflopmom]

Hey everyone. Cam, you did a fabulous job of coaching today! That recipe sounds like something I need to have the recipe for.

Well, everyone, I will be your coach this week, and I will needs lots of help. You are all so great at coaching each other, I have no qualms. I have a Pampered chef show at my house tomorrow night after school, and I'll be gone most of the day Saturday for training. Please jump in and support and encourage each other as you already have been!

I will probably be posting mostly "fun" questions this week, it seems that we're all in need of a little encouragement.

Since I'll be cleaning like Taz in the morning, I'm going to go ahead and post tomorrow's QOTD tonight.

DON'T FORGET TO WEIGH IN AND REPORT TOMORROW! GOOD LUCK ON THE SCALE! REMEMBER, YOU ARE MORE THAN A NUMBER!

QOTD Friday, November 12th - If you were presented with a blank check, that had to be used on you or your household, no holds barred, what would you do with it?

For me, I would use it to become totally debt free - house, cars, credit cards, etc. Then chunk the money we've been putting towards that for the girls' college and retirement!

Night everyone!
Taryn

 

[LuvBaloo]

Jumping on a little late to say I hope everybody had a good Remembrance Day or Veteran's Day. Thanks to Jude and all those around the world who serve.
This year, my family went the our new town's Remembrance Day Ceremony and then my girls marched in the parade to the cenataph. A young man from our city died at age 21 serving in the military. His family was marching in the parade immediately after the flag bearers. What an emotional day for them. You could see the pride and pain in his parents and siblings as they marched.


To answer the music QOTD. I have many songs that speak to me. On a light note, my favourite happy song is "the Bare Necessities".
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life

And on a more emotional note: In My Daughter's Eyes by Martina McBride
In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I want to be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes
Everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light
And the world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me
Gives me strength when I'm weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart
Is had enough
It's givin' more when you feel like givin' up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes
I can see the future
A reflection of who I am
And what we'll be
And though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone
I hope you'll see
How happy she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes

Have a great Friday everybody!

And on a more emotional note: In My Daughter's Eyes by Martina McBride

Shannon, I had never heard of that song before. The lyrics are beautiful!

Our school secretary's son, 22, was killed in Iraq, about 4 years ago. The Marines came to school to tell her. Even in a back room with the doors closed, I will never forget hearing her screams that day from my classroom and then finding out what had happened. Her mom instinct had already kicked in, she had seen on CNN that am that fatalities had occured, and she said "It's Jon." It was such a shock, and hard time for them, and the whole community. After that black time, and watching one of my BFF's go through her husband's 2 tours with little girls at home, it has made the day much more meaningful to me. I took the girls' to our VERY small local Veterans Day parade, too. I hope one day, they'll understand.

On that note, today will be very emotional. Ever since Jon was killed, I've been extremely emotional on Veteran's Day. Since we were off yesterday, today will be our assembly at school. Last year, I had my BFF's daughter in my class. Her Dad had sent some pictures from Iraq, and they showed a slideshow of them. It really made the kids think, since BFF is a teacher there, too, and most all the students know her girls. The teachers, and many of the students, were in tears the whole time! I had to take her daughter out, she got so upset. I'll never forget that day. I hope I can pull it together during the assembly......

I'll try to make it back on later today, but if I don't, have a good one, and take care of each other.

Good morning everyone. The last couple of weeks have been crazy and this week doesn't look any better. I was just looking at my calendar for next Thursday I have school, a faculty meeting at 2:30, a union meeting (for 90 minutes) at 4, a meeting at 7 and one at 7:30 which means I have to miss yoga. And that is one day.

I had to answer the QOTD about favorite song lyrics. I have too many that mean a great deal to me. This one makes me thing of my dh each time I hear it. I heard it last Sat night at the concert I went to.

Time After Time

What good are words I say to you?
They can’t convey to you what’s in my heart
If you could hear instead
The things I’ve left unsaid

Time after time
I tell myself that i’m
So lucky to be loving you

So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through

I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You’ve kept my love so young, so new

And time after time
You’ll hear me say that i’m
So lucky to be loving you

I especially love the line "The one you run to see, in the evening, when the day is through"

I had yesterday off but was supposed to drive my parents to see some relatives. I got a call about 8 that my dad had some sort of stomach bug so they weren't going so got a free day with no one else home. I got to sew and quilt. It was lovely.

Today I won't be home until 7 and then tomorrow I am sewing pillowcases all day. I do have to go grocery shopping on Sunday but I am hoping the rest of the day is quiet.

Have a good day everyone

 

[tigger813]

Keenercam- No, I will be selling Usborne books. I haven't signed up to do the Herbalife yet. Maybe after my trip.

DVCCruiser- We go Dec. 1-9!!!!! We're eating at Biergarten, Tusker House, b'fast at Crystal Palace, Yachtsman for DH and me, Artist Point for my parents. I can't remember if there are any others but we like a lot of the QS meals at Epcot and MK.

Well,,,,,DRUMROLL Please!!!!!!!!!!!

50 pounds!!!!

I did 2 miles this morning followed by my strength workout and some extra crunches and reverse crunches!!!!

We're having Thai food for supper and my special drink!!!! Gotta get DD2 something else to eat. DD1 will be at BFF's tonight!

Working this morning, running some errands, picking up DD2 and her friend at school for a playdate, picking up dinner and trying to hook up my village so I can light it up. Nothing planned tomorrow except maybe put up lights outside since it's supposed to be 60 out! Sunday is church and Patriots game.

Gotta finish getting ready to take DD1 to the bus. Now she wants some hot cocoa to take with her to the bus.

Well,,,,,DRUMROLL Please!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT's AWESOME TRACEY!!!!!!!!!! Your hard work is really paying off! I'm so proud of you girl!!!


Well, I decided to weigh in quickly this am. Um... lost another pound. How strange! I'm down 3 since I stopped running and trying. Of course, I'm not taking a lot of time to eat, so that's the key. I'll take it, though. I'm only 2 pounds from 70 loss, and 5 from what I had set as goal. This "maintaining" stuff is kinda working for me???

 

[jennz]

Talk about stress eating. Today I was presented information that would get a fellow employee fired and quite possibly worse. And I'm obligated to report it. I want to keep eating until I vomit. NOT a good night.

What an awful place you're in. I'm sorry.

Shannon - that song! "In my daughter's eyes" I am sitting her crying.

Good sales at your show Taryn.

Cam I am going to chat with dd a little more about the movie before we go. I'm not sure if I'm still seeing her as an 8 year old (she'll be 13 in a few months) or if I should be worried. In the past she has told me if she thought a movie would be too scary for her but she's excited to see this. Of course we are slighty on the obsessed side with HP.

Lisa your posts just always make me smile. You are always so kind and friendly.
