Biggest Loser Red Team Week 2

[lizdotcom99]

Morning! Not mcuh time to check in, but I did want to say and WISH you all a good week!

For me, the weekend went quite well! Said NO! to lots of stuff that I wnated to say yes to and said YES! to some things I would have rather said no to!

That being said, there were a lot of good eating choices made and even some exercise to report for the weekend!

To those with the ickies, feel better! For those having a hard time of things, make a plan and work your plan! It is so much easier to make healthy choices when you have the stuff on hand! For those doing well, keep up the good work!

Off and running to another busy week at work! I will try to check in later and see how everyone is doing!

Say NO! Say Yes!
RED TEAM ROCKS!!!!!



Oh and sorry about the mess.....I tripped on some donuts on the way in....seems as though SOMEBODY left a bunch of donuts here......must have been Geety! Ya know she is up to NO GOOD!!! Anyway, I cleaned up at best as I could, but truth be told I am domestically challenged.....and the donuts were stale anyway. As I was picking them up I was thinking if the bllue team is going to tempt us, they might try to use something better than week old donuts!

OK, off and running! And if you see Geety, tell her I think she is a peach too!!!

How is everyone on this rainy Monday? It's not really raining here right now but it has been. We really need the rain. It's very dry here.

Melanie--I would have loved for it to be in the 70's here. It was so hot at the game Sat. It was only in the 80's but the humidity was so high. I was sweating just sitting and watching the game. The kids were ok the first half but when the 2nd started they all melted. 2 kids left crying to sit on the bench, my son finally got to sit for a while and the rest were trying to sit on the bench. They were pouring water in and on them. The concession stand was much cooler, it was shady and fans were blowing.


Ok, today I did The Firm--Supercharged Sculpting. I do all my regular cleaning on Mondays so I will be doing the dusting, vacuuming, scrubbing the bathroom for about an hour.

Are the sicknesses finally starting to drift away? It was probably the smell of the stale donuts that caused all the problems.

Good morning Red Team. I hope everyone is having a great morning. I wanted to stop by and say that I am going to get my 8 glasses of water in today. I have been struggling with that some and I wanted to have it in writing.

Sorry so short, lots to do this morning. I'll be back later this evening to report in.

Good Monday morning!!

I did not do well as far as eating goes this weekend. I went to the Apple Farm Inn in San Luis Obispo this weekend. It is so beautiful there, but the food is just too good. I did split several of my meals, but it was things like pancakes and chicken & dumplings. I am not looking forward to weighing in tomorrow, but I am back on track today and determined to reach my goal of 20lbs gone by my December WDW vacation!!

Hi all,

Liz - Kick those donuts to the curb!!! Good job! hehe I am on Geety watch now!! You can rest.

Marty - Good job exercising! Hope you get the needed rain!!

Tammy - Good luck getting your water in! I found the thing that motivated me a lot at the start was buying a few fun water bottles and always keeping one full & chilling at the ready while I drink from the other. I got myself a Buffy the Vampire Slayer bottle and an Angel the Series bottle, my faves!!

Michelle - The weekend's past, time for good choices that will move you forward to that goal! I know you can do it!!!

As for me, I have upped my walking this weekend and am paying for it with aching knees today. I NEED to get my butt to the pool. A water workout will be easier on my poor joints! I averaged about 120oz of water each day all weekend which I was proud of and I of course stayed the course on my eating plan in the face of lots of temptations. I really think that knowing I can have a treat when I want and that I am really focused on feeling better than actual weight numbers this time around has really helped me this time around. I had half a regular chocolate chip cookie at dinner last night and it was good, and all I wanted! hehe (I also had a great salad, two small pieces of veggie & sausage pizza, and lots of water. This was at our all staff meeting so the selection was limited but I did great!) I plan my meals so I know I will have what I want when I want it. Tonight I am gonna have some apple slices with natural peanut butter with dinner, yum!!!

Have a happy & healthy day all! I think it looks like we won week 1 though no official announcement yet, so congrats all if we did! I can't wait to see how we do tomorrow!!!

Oh boy. Can't you just smell them? Taste that warm chocolate as it melts in your mouth??

Hahaha! No way Terry!
If I can survive with an untouced pint of Ben n Jerrys Chubby Hubby in my freezer for three weeks now, I can resist a virtual cookie!

Anybody coming to chat tonight? I will be there for a bit......


See you in the chat room!

 

[geetey]

[lizdotcom99]

Yep, and LOTS of it! I hear the BLUE TEAM is starving!!!!

 

[agotta]

I'm there

 

[geetey]

If someone doesn't show me how to get to chat, then I won't be able to bring all of these desserts in! Mmm.... gooey butter cakes, chocolate chip cookies, hot apple pie with ice cream, hot Krispy Kreme donuts....

anyone?

 

[monte]

Hey, tonight's chat was great! I really enjoyed talking with Liz, Agotta & Tiger Lily. Hopefully the rest of the Red team can make next Monday night.

Keep up the good work Red Team

 

[Mykelogan]

Sorry I missed chat y'all!!! I got wrapped up in a project with one of my RAs!!

Glad it was fun!

[nursetink]

Sorry I missed the chat. I have a sick child.

I wanted to post my weight loss for the week. I lost 3 lbs! Can't wait to see how everyone else did. Go Red Team!

 

[lizdotcom99]

Good Morning! Chat was indeed fun! A good time had by all.....all be it a small crowd!

Anyway, I have no news to report.....I am at even this week in weight! I knew that first week was too good to be true. Gotta love the bloat fairy! Next week will indeed be better!

I will work hve to work harder on getting some exercise in! That is for sure! Hope everyone is having a great week! Onward and downward we go!!!


Methinks we need to think of some new ideas and challenges. Might even have to up the stakes and challenge the blue team to something interesting....ideas anyone?


Have a great day!


GO RED TEAM!

I had a small victory yesterday. I bought a new pair of jeans in Aug that I could button but were too tight to wear out in public. I'm 34, a little too old to look like the teenagers in pants that are 2 sizes too small. Yesterday I tried them on and they fit!! I could wear them now without looking embarassing. I haven't lost much weight but my body is really changing.

I rode the bike for 60 min this morning. I didn't want to and had to really force myself to keep going. My son came home all sad from school yesterday, feeling like he doesn't fit in. He's in 1st grade. He is not in a class with his 2 best friends from last year. They have 90 min of uninterrupted reading time this year but he goes to the 2nd grade to do his. He's so far beyond the fluency level of his class that he could regress listening to the Saxon phonics in his room. He also gets pulled out to do accelerated reading and math. He loves getting out of his class to do these things. I've talked to the 2nd grade teacher and he's doing great with the reading there. I think the main problem is that his best friend is across the hall so when he comes back to his room he doesn't have that friend to talk to and regroup. So I'm doing my mom job and worrying about him. I'm hoping this phase passes quickly. I'm going to have lunch with him today (I'm not actually eating there today) and see how his day is going.

Hey Liz, I know what you mean. I'll be happy to break even this week, instead of gaining 3 lbs!!

I wasn't sure if there was a chat last night, I guess I checked too early. Is that going to be every Mon at nine?

Good Morning Red Team,

Sorry I didn't make it to chat last night. I had Weight Watchers, had to pick Taryn up from Gymnastics, stop by the store and then when I got home DH wanted to watch a movie we had from Netflix so he could return it. I also still had to eat dinner.

The night before I didn't sleep well because I drank ice tea. Last night I slept good. I needed the good sleep.

For tonight once you officially weight-in, please cut and past the running weekly total to your post. Lets do new loss/total loss. Try to use the one that the last person posted so the most current will always be in the last post. This will make it easier for me to post the results. I have football practice tonight so I'll be pressed for time.

By the way, why do I have chocolate chips on my shoes. Oh yeah the blue team is trying to tempt us. Fortunately it has no affect on us!


Way to go Red Team,

Keep up the great work.

Hello Red Team...I just checked the original thread and there are 5 people who asked to join after the 16th. I know they are not eligible for the prize, but are we okay if they join in the rest of it? I'm posted to the Blue thread too...
