Biggest Loser Purple Final Week!

[jayna22]

Mike--Sometimes I miss exercising when I don't go, but I feel more of panic, I guess. I'm going though!

jennz-I know I'm doing a good thing and I'm staying motivated. Now I just need the scale to move. I've thought about getting an mp3 player, but (now I'm going to sound old) I don't understand how they work! There are two televisions at the gym-one playing ESPN and the other on MSNBC. Sometimes this is ok, other times it's not.

I'm following the orders of my personal trainer and have 350 minutes in so far this week but I haven't even lost half a pound! I'm going to increase my water again and see what happens.

Thanks everyone!
Jana

MinnieMouseMom - are you feeling better? I hope so!

Yes & no. I was dizzy again this morning. I sure hope this is gone soon! I think everything will even itself out once TTOTM shows (sorry Mike & any other fellows on here ) At least I hope so!

i havent done too much exercising...about 15-20 min a day..but im leaving for disney on tuesday and have been really busy--i know , excuses, excuses!! but im planning on doing exercising in disney,,added to all the walking im going to do...im going to try and find my pedometer to bring!

 

[jennz]

Have fun on your Disney trip Jen!!

Our last day - let's make it a great one! I have got to mentally get back into a healthy lifestyle I really got out of it the past few days. Mike do you have some Jillian for me?

 

[K and K's Mommy]

Happy Monday everyone! I have to admit I was somewhat leary to post anything because I ate so much over the long weekend!! However, you guys are going to keep me honest. So far today I had an on plan breakfast. The problem is I am already hungry. I think my body got used to eating a lot! I did get in walks three of the four long weekend days.

Let's all get back on track today!!! No bagels!! (That was for me!!) No leftover pie!! (That was also for me, but my DH and I finished it off last night!)

Jana - I 'm with you on not knowing how an MP 3 player works!! My DH sets it up before my walk!! It really does help. Get yourself one for the holidays, and then find some time when you can really sit down and read directions or have someone help you with it!

Hi all!

Jennifer - I need some Jillian for myself!!! But I did get in 75 min of water aerobics today!

C'mon all, get psyched tomorrow is our last Biggest Loser Challenge weigh in!!! Jillian would call today our "last chance" work out day, so why not treat every day like it's your last chance to get healthy, that way you don't put anything off! I saw the movie of "Rent" this weekend and as when I saw the stage production one line stays with you, "No day but today!" So you worked out yesterday or you did bad yesterday... No day but today matters at this exact moment! So you plan to work out tomorrow or to take a day off, deal with tomorrow tomorrow, No day but today!!! Like I always say, making those good choices moment by moment adds up to the big victories! I know I will be up in weight tomorrow, but that is for tomorrow! Today I will try to make the best choices for me!!!

Have a great day everyone!
Mike

 

[jennz]

K&K's Mommy - I think you're right in that it DOES take time to get back into our healthy ways as far as not being hungry goes...make some good choices! Great job walking too.

Mike - you're right today is the day. Small choices add up to big victories YES!

I'm very motivated again...I saw Extreme Home Makeovers last night and that poor Paulita with cancer. I'm am SO back on track, I survived cancer and now what am I doing to my body? I don't want to die because of neglect! Plus I've been so tired, I guess you are what you eat is true.

Last chance workout day - bring it!

I'm voting for a BL support thread until Mike and Jen get back from the World. Hey you guys do you have an intinerary planned? Maybe we can walk the parks with you. That would give me a daily goal...anyone with me?

 

[Mykelogan]

Do I have an itinerary planned?? LOL I have it planned down to the minute! hehe I am only there for 4 days, gotta maximize my time! hehehe

We can always start the "Biggest Loser II: The Losers Strike Back!" next week!

hehe!
Mike

 

[MinnieMouseMom]

Happy Monday!

Mike & Jen, if you see me, give me a I'll be the one easy to recognize. I'll be the one pulling my hair out trying to keep 10 people organized.

 

[jennz]

MinnieMouseMom - you're going too?! Are you all going to the meet? If so get a group photo and post it! That would be fun!

Mike - so where will you be when? We'll walk the parks with you in spirit. Seriously!

Actually I'm going to the Incredibles on Ice this weekend (my reason: DD's brownie troop & of course I volunteered to be a chaperone! ) and am excited - they're "going" to the MK and from the previews there will be the Pirates of the C, the ballroom ghost from the HM among others. I'm looking forward to it! The night before we're going to the Jump5 concert, another Disney favorite.

I've missed you all!!

I ate a little of everything I wanted. We had a small family dinner so no huge quantities of leftovers. Stayed at my IL's for a few days.

After a week of not working out it felt great to sweat again today. I tried the weight control oatmeal today, it was good.

I hope you all have a great time at Disney. Enjoy the sunshine!!

Marty

 

[bcvprincesses]

Mike that sounds like a perfect trip. Wish we were all going with you.

I have not really exercised since last week. Today I was back at the gym. It felt really good. I can't believe this is our last few hours. I am really excited to see the show tomorrow.

 

[K and K's Mommy]

I'm jealous of everyone going to Disney! Mike, have some hummus and soup for me at Boma! Yum! I also love Crystal Palace, but my favorite thing there is high carb so I won't tell you what it is! (My DD picked stickers!)

 

[jennz]

Just finished my workout and it felt good! No post-exercise rush but I do feel a little "clearer"...

I think we have our challenge for next week everyone...it'll be "Tag Along with Mike." I have a reward in mind for everyone who completes it (I know we need to firm up the details a little but rest assured it won't be "keeping up with Mike" - dude! you're on the go!) It will mean that you'll need to pm your addy's though.

Welcome back Marty! It sounds like everyone who was off track is getting back on which is fantastic!!

Helen when are you going to WDW?

I have a favor to ask of one of you WDW goers...will you send a postcard to my daughter "from" either Stitch, Minnie, Mickey or Sleeping Beauty? I'll send you the $ for it. Please let me know if someone's willing to do this.

 

[MinnieMouseMom]

MinnieMouseMom - you're going too?! Are you all going to the meet? If so get a group photo and post it! That would be fun!

Mike - so where will you be when? We'll walk the parks with you in spirit. Seriously!

Yep, I'm going on Friday. Oooh have fun at Incredibles on Ice and the Jump 5 concert. My oldest daughter would be very jealous!!

I can send your daughter a postcard if you want.

 

[jennz]

I will! I feel kinda like a geek because I'm actually looking forward to both of them. We went to a Jump5 concert in March at a local church and I had a lot of fun...and I was dreading it before we went.

Thanks for the postcard...I'll pm you...

 

[Mykelogan]

Jennifer,

I will definitely send a card to your daughter. I "fairy godmailed" like 10 kids my last trip. Just PM me the info.

Mike

p.s. Sad I'm gonna miss the Mike challenge! LOL
