Biggest Loser 4 Week 9

[lisaviolet]

Ummmm. Can someone help me make my clippie a tad smaller? Pretty please. Even with sugar on top.

Anyone? Anyone?

Reminds me of Ferris Bueller.

Hey everyone - Just checking in - Haven't been coming here like a should and I feel lost and dont' know where to start in the threads so I"m just jumping in feet first.

I weighed 165 this morning. Today is new beginning for me. I havne't weighed this much in a LONG time. Since before I started WISH originally.

So I can do this - I will do this. I've done it before - I can do it again!

Hi Melanie!

Hang in there. Did you see Wendy's post about starting over? I thought it was excellent. We've all done it. Been there. Felt like I needed a new beginning. Best wishes to you.

Brenda,

I just caught the "Bueller here". . I swear that movie never gets old. Just like The Princess Bride. Priceless.

I am bound and determined to not make one change, not one, that I can't, or not even can't, don't want to make for life. And the chips will fall where the chips will fall.

I posted a sabotage listing that I thought was interesting on the end of the last thread. The first one was about denying foods we love and what that does.

PS. Princess Vija. I am thrilled to see you come back on. Thrilled. I've been thinking about you. I too feel the same way about the scale.

Congrats Lisa on being the biggest loser!!!! The sabotage list is awesome.... I can completely relate to the denying of favorite foods. I think I have come up with a plan. I can have whatever I want for meals, but only healthy snacks. That way I am not denying myself what I want, but can work in healthy portions.

Lisa what you posted on the last page of last week's thread needs repeating.

Thanks for reposting it dona!

I saw this posted on SparkPeople today, and with the week we've all had, it seemed appropriate to post it here too.--W

START OVER

If you've started out in pursuit of your goal
And you've really tried with your heart and your soul,
but somehow things got out of control---
START OVER.

This was fantastic, thanks for posting it!

YES YOU CAN! And welcome back my friend! I haven't been here as much as I should either, lets both commit to checking in here daily. It can only help!

Hey everyone,

I am soooo excited right now I can barely stand it. I applied for a new job on Wednesday and today they called me for a phone interview! It is set up for next week and I am so excited, I am shaking!

PLEASE send me your good luck wishes, and prayers. I really need this!

It would sure be a change though, I work weekends now and am off M-F. I would be changing to working M-F and having weekends off. My kids have been spoiled with having me home, OK, who am I kidding... I have been spoiled being home with them, but it is time for a change!

PLEASE, Please, please send me good vibes!


And by the way, I woke up this morning thinking... HEY, this is leap day, what a great day to start over and get focussed! And to get this call is a great motivator.

Lisa,

Are you following Peep Watch 2008 on the CB? Here is the beginning. It is getting quite lengthy. EV really knows how to spin a yarn about MI. We have many DISers with too much time on their hands over there but I think that is what the CB is all about. Peep Poop, who would have ever thought? The Tag Fairy has been very generous over there. She never seems to visit here.

Anyway, check out post #212 here. After seeing the Tag Fairy visit lintasare is hoping for a tag. Then read post #216 and #225, The tag needs to be highlighted to read it, bad, bad color there Tag Fairy. Tag Fairy you need some color co-ordinating lessons.

Lisa, isn't that tag just priceless? I really love it and after your remark about the Princess Bride I had to share that with you.

Gotta get to my salad before I put anything awful in my mouth.

Have a healthy day!

Good morning all,

I was so bad last night at my bunco party. Did win $30.00 but ate and drank way too much. Well it's a start over day. Off to the gym to work it off. It's going to be a very nice day here so after that a very long walk.

Have a great Saturday.

 

[acourtwdw2]

I got on the scales yesterday and ive lost 2 pounds since Tuesday. Well the sun is out today i off to work and i want to take a long walk today. Hope everyone is having a great saturday.

Amanda


ps will post some replys later when i have time but thought i would check in.

 

[whgrn]

I woke up feeling yucky--kind of a cross between "I'm really hungry" and "I feel like I'm gonna barf". So I'm sitting here nibbling on a tiny baked potato. I don't have anything else really bland that I can eat.

sigh

 

[donac]

Good Saturday morning. I finally got a great night sleep last nigt but it didn't start until 2:30 this morning(UNfortunately I was eating but I didn't eat that much. I had been asked to join the production staff for a celebration dinner after the show last night. MOre on that later). I slept until 8:30. It is 10 AM and ds is still asleep but he too needs to catch up on his sleep.


Sorry that I have not been on as much lately. There has been too much drama in my life that I haven't been able to write about to do it justice. I wanted to wait until I had time to think about what I wanted to say and a lot of it has hit the fan this week when I have been averaging about 4 hours of sleep (and Thursday night it was 3).

First Scouts. My dh was Scoutmaster for a long time and last year stepped down but is still an assistant. He has to stay active in SCout until at least 2010 when he is set to work security at the National Jamboree. The guy who took over for him was going through a divorce so we thought that was why he was not getting back to kids or for his layed back attitude. Not the case. The divorce was final this past Aug and he has gotten worse,.. NOw we have to ask him to step down and as I as Troop Committee Chairperson has to do it. Dh and I have been talking about this a lot and we think we have come up with a solution that will let him step back without losing face. I need to do this in the next week and a half so wish me luck on this.

School DOn't get me wrong. I have been in the same school for 31 years. I get along with most people and I love the classes I am teaching. This week was the pits. Every year the school can nominate teachers for Teacher of the YEar. I have never been it and maybe someday I will get it but I am not holding my breathe. Many good teachers have gotten it in the past and I know how hard it is to pick just one person out of the great staff we have at our school.

About a month ago one of my collegues asked me for my resume and she did tell me that she was nominating me. I hoped that it would be my year but I gave up hope long time ago.

Wed afternoon at the faculty meetingthey announce the teacher of the year. The principal started by saying it was someone in the math dept, so the girl who nominated me got excited. But it was not me it was another teacher in the department who is a total fool. She is a student's dream. She gives the students so many chance for extra credit that they could go from a C average to an A average. ANd this for an honors class. She is coordinator and is supposed to check on people who are absent but she is always late herself. When we have a department meeting she always talking about what she did and how late she stayed doing things (If she was more organized and had a life she wouldn't be there until 9 at night.) If I had to lose to someone why did it have to be an incompetent fool. My dh said If you hadn't been nominated you would be laughing about it. HOw true.

Then the drama with the play. WE are doing Beauty and the BEast at ds's school. I have been working with the guy who is in charge of the costumes and the sets for the last 8 years. He makes the costumes and while he is working on the sets I get together a group of moms to do the detailing and finishing them. The enchanted objects have kept us very busy and I have been in charge of a lotmore since the set is so extensive. This week was final tech week. Costume parade last Sat to see what needed to be finished and to add final details like hats and stuff. The moms and I worked Sat and all daySUn. We weren't finished but the costumes were finished enough so that the show could run. I could finish them at night on Mon Tues and Wed. Some moms came in on Monday to help me and we were in really good shape. The directors have been sick on and off for the past month and they have not had as many rehearsals as they have in the past. The kids were not ready beacuse of this but the director did not see it as his fault. He was blaming the costume and set guy, the lighting guy and the cast. He even walked out before the show on Tuesday (real mature for a guy almost 40) Thursday was the final dress rehersal in front of senior citizens who paid half price for their tickets. The kids were better not all the way but a long way from Sunday night.

Last night was opening night. It was a GALA performance with pre theater munchies, stuff to eat at intermission and coffee and dessert after the show. Well as someone said The theater fairies were smiling down at the cast. They were way above where they were last SUnday. Be Our Guest got a standing ovation. It was amazing what they pulled off last night. The entire productions staff were in shock.

After the show I was asked to join the production staff at for late night dinner. We didn't get there until 12 and I left at 2 when they wanted to close the restaurant

Three more shows this weekend and 4 and a rehersal for next week so I am going to be busy. At school we have a crazy schedule since we are doing state testing this week. This week guarantees to be just as crazy.

I am pretty proud of myself since I have done this without chocolate. It has been a month since I gave it up. I still crave it but I have gotten through a lot without it.

I have also been walking a lot. I have worn my pedometer a couple of days this week and one day I put in over 16000 steps and another 14000 so I have been pretty active. My eating hasn't been too bad either. I have been packing some 100 cal packs of almonds in case I got hungry during rehersal and have been bring my water bottle and keeping it full.

Sorry this is so long but thanks for listening.

 

[dare2dream]

I have been thinking about you dealing with everything going on in your life. You are doing great handling everything well. I know you can get through all this without having a food frenzy.

Hang in there Dona, this too shall pass.

Have a healthy day!

 

[whgrn]

Dona

You must be exhausted!!! See if you can find (make?) the time for a nice hot bath or something else soothing.

Hang in there! The week will be over before you know it!

 

[lynnielou]

Donac,

You do so much for everyone and are so involved with your family, your job, giving extra. How do you do it? My hat is off to you. You deserve a lot of credit for keeping it all together!
