Biggest Loser 4 Week 13

[donac]

Good Afternoon everyone.

Well I have about 5 dozen raviolis left to make for my dad's birthday party on Sunday. The inside mixture is a mix of chicken, pork, beef and veal. The meat is cooked on the bone in tomato sauce. They are cooked in the oven until they are falling off the bone. The meat is then ground finely. Then the filling is put into homemade pasta. They willl be cooked on SUnday and covered in tomato sauce. I am going to finish them up this evening.

Sunday has turned into something else. It was supposed to be for my dad (He will be 83 on Tuesday). My brother emailed me and wanted to throw in his daughter whose birthday is in March. My brother was supposed to check with my sister about another neice whose birthday is in April. My sister emailed me and asked me when and where (DOESN"T SHE READ THE EMAIL I SENT 3 WEEKS AGO ) (I am still waiting for this same sister to RSVP to my son's Eagle Ceremony last Aug) Today I got an email saying my brother emailed everyone the other day to say the party is also for ALL of his kids. WHERE WAS MINE??? So I just went out to buy 6 birthday presents instead of 1. I just have to remember that this is really about my dad.

Tomorrow morning we are going to ds2's new school for accepted students. It should be a nice day. The engineering department has impressed us each time we have seen them. They have been sending ds all sorts of emails about what they can expect when they get to school and what kind of things they do with the students. He is getting excited about going in Sept. He also just found out that someone he has been in scouts with since 1st grade is also going to the same school. They won't be studying the same thing but they will be at the same school so maybe they could share rides.

Well I better go I have some things to do. Have a great day. I will probably check in tomorrow evening.

[Geekerbell]

Yay! I made it through the day!
I still hit the afternoon munchy time and did eat, a lot, but it was good for me stuff - 2 apples, a banana, a can of green beans, and half a bag of frozen broccoli. I know, I'm nuts, but sometimes it's all about quantity for me.
So I still ended the day right at 1500 calories (1527 to be exact).

Whew!

Now to make it through the weekend...

Geekerbell - whatever works to keep it "working for ya" - healthy foods for sure!! KEep up the good work.

Now tinkamom - what do you do each night to strengthen your nails?? I skimmed back and just couldn't get the answer - thanks

I have not done well on exercise this week - my weight still hanging in there but I need to get re-established on a routine.

Molli and her family her for our "Easter" lunch today - so I need to moving and making sure there is some "lunch"

Have a good weekend everyone and make wise choices - you'll like yourself much more that way

 

[JOANNEL]

Good morning every one.

It sounds like we are all hanging in there. For once I made very good choices at bunco instead of pigging out. She served sloppy joes.So I just put the meat over lettuce and ate salad & strawberries. So if I can keep this us for once I may weigh less on Monday than friday for once!!

Happy Saturday all,

There have been many days in the last couple of weeks (okay, pretty much everyday) that I have made it til lunch time on plan, then just break down emotionally after putting the kids down for nap time and end up eating the rest of the day.

So far today, I feel "sane". I feel like I can make it through the whole day on plan with my eating. I feel like this evening I can enjoy spending time with my


Hopefully this will continue and I will be able to post a loss on Tuesday.

Hang in there Laura. Good for you for pushing through.

Have a nice weekend,

Wow! I was super busy at work this week and didn't get online at home much due to the business. I logged on today to realize that I had not even checked in here once yet this week

I was up this week, but I find this challenge motivating and like several others have said it has kept me from gaining more. I would really like for some form of the BL challenge to continue. I have not been as into the weekly challenges, but I really like all of the support. I did like the exercise challenges, those are helpful to me.

I have not done very well this week. I got in some exercise, but my food has been out of whack. I am working on doing better with both food and exercise. I can't seem to get both going in the right direction at the same time

I need to check in here more often and maybe that will help me to stay on track better

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!

 

[lisaviolet]

awwww, shucks, it weren't nutihin'...

No no, I wasn't being sweet. I was seeing if chanting would make you crack under the pressure of being #1!!! And not the comfortable feeling of #2!!

Oh, the irony of it all. I just liked the flow of #1 Wendy.

Or do the spotlight issues only come during weigh ins?

Good point, actually! I wonder why that is??? Could it be that I don't mind being #1 at doing stuff for OTHERS, but I don't feel comfy being #! at doing something well FOR ME????

Oh gosh, a shrink would have a FIELD DAY with me!!!!

 

[donac]

Good Monday Morning Everyone. I don't have much time to talk beacuse it is the first day back to school and I have a lot to do. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

My raviolis were a big hit and they tasted great. I will talk more about it later but let's just say seeing my family yesterday made me realize what a wonderful life I have and what a wonderful dh and ds I have.

WEigh in is tomorrow. I think I am on the gaining side of this week but we shall see.

Have a magical losing day.

 

[goldcupmom]

I'm still here, though I've been missing for the last 2 weighins. Haven't had the opportunity to weigh & forgot to report in when I finally did.

will weigh tomorrow....expecting a gain as life has been over the top & I feel like I have terminal PMS, but going on month 3 with no TOM. Just get over already!!!!!!!!! I'm almost 48 & my DSis & mom were done at 38! NOT FAIR!!!!!!!

Anyway, as usual must run....hopefully will update my journal soon.

Hope everyone has had a GREAT WEEK!!!!

Hi and hello to everyone!


Just an FYI if you want to join me... I am starting a 100 day challenge thread. We used to do this alot on WISH in the past. Here is the link if you are interested in joining me! http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1773201

I am getting more and more excited about having my weekends back with my family. I am so planning things to do. I can't wait!

Has anyone been geocaching? I love to do this, and it is great exercise. You go to geocaching.com and find some geocaches in your area. You do need a GPS tracker of somesort. you put in the coordinates and off you go to do a treasure hunt. Ususally it is a small box that contains trinkets of some sort. The kids bring something to put in and they take a trinket out. It is great for family time, and the hiking is great exercise! Anyway, I bring this up because we plan to do alot of this in summer!

Hope everyone has a great day!

I know I will.... it is cloudy today, and I plan on taking a nap!

 

[donac]

Hi, I have a few minutes and I thought that I would explain by what I mean about family.

When dh and I got married 30 years ago my mother thought that we never last (yes she told me that a week before we were married) Well in those 30 years my dh has improved in status. I have 2 other bil's. My twin sister's husband helps my parents as often as possible so he is in good standing. My other bil is a total puzzlement. My dh was very upset at him last night. Now you all know that I spent last week making raviolis for yesterday. I spent a great deal of time doing it last week. My strange bil ate nothing He told my dh that he ate before he came over. Now my ds is not a big Italian food eater (we claim he lost the Italian gene) and he did not eat that many raviolis but he did have the angle hair pasta that we prepared. But bil ATE NOTHING. My twin sister took some pictures that we used for a slide show for parent's 50th anniv. and put it on a dvd with music and we all gathered to watch exceot for bil His with wife made my dh and I angry while we were watching the dvd because everytime I came up she commented that "There's Dona again" We were ready to throttle her. That is what I mean about family.

Hope everyone is having a great day. Vija I wish I could take a nap but I never got to the grocery store yesterday so on my way home I need to go.

Sorry I haven't said congrats on the new job yet! So I'll say it now... Hooray! Way to go Vija! Congrats on the new job!

I have read about geocaching, I think in Family Fun magazine, but have never done it. DH hasn't seemed that interested, but I think it would be a blast and I know my boys would love it! I'll have to check out the website and see if there is anything in my area.

 

[Geekerbell]

Well, I had another "on target" day, coming in at 1487 on calories. I'm starting to feel like I can o this for the long haul again.
It does help that emotionally, I am doing much better, as is the rest of the family, and everyone is healthy. So that makes it MUCH easier.

Hope everyone else had a great Monday. See you at weigh tomorrow!

That is just too bad. Family's can be difficult. I feel for you. You cannot control others, just yourself and you did what was right. He was the problem. You can only hope that one day he will realize what a "jerk" he is.

Sounds like a fantastic idea. Let me come up with a challenge and then post over there on the thread.

Take care all and happy April 1st tomorrow! I can only hope that tomorrow may melt the last of my snowbanks from the driveway, it was over 50 degrees today and they are still there. Oh well, opening day for the Detroit Tigers, even though we lost. The boys of summer have returned.
