BL 3 Blue Team-Week 5

[luckywife]

Goldcupmom, I hope everything gets resolved quickly for your DD and they find out what is causing these problems. Hugs to you!

As for which trainer I would pick, it would have to be Bob. There's just something about him that I really, really like. Jillian would be my next choice but if I could have a trainer, it would be Bob, hands down.

Or did Kim not have that much personality on her own last year? Bob gels with anybody.

I'm kind of thinking it's Kim...Actually I think she's a little more spunky than she was last year!

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

Sabrina_Mouse, Glad to hear your MRI results are back and they show no surgery needed! Hopefully the stretching will help heal your ankle quickly.

LaLaroo78, I agree, I think it would be fantastic to morph Bob and Jillian into a super trainer!


MIdanceMom, I think you are right, the preconceived ideas we have sometimes really hold us back. Here's to pushing through some barriers!

becka, Oh, I hope today is better for you. It's never easy deciding what to eat when the options look terrible. Is your friend at work better today? I hope that you both will be able to smooth the waters. I agree with VernRDH, maybe send a funny card. That might help smooth things over. I second what OhMom said too... you are a good person, good friend and you need some time for you as well. good luck, and more hugs.

jennz, I love the mantra

"there is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs."

that is awesome!

disneychrista, OOh, good point about Jillian knowing what it was like to be heavy. That is probably why she pushes so hard too, she wants people to feel the reward of weight loss.

VernRDH, I agree, isn't it interesting that no one has picked Kim yet? She must appeal to some people. I did like how she physically helped some of her team on the last challenge, holding the girls hand/arm really must have made a difference for her.

DisneyMomTwins, I wonder how many others watching the show were affected by Jillians softer side? And your right, her "punishments" would be rough, but worth it!

goldcupmom, hugs to you and DD! I hope she feels better today! Not just for the Florida trip, but for her and your sense of relief. Once the prednisone works through the body, I'm hoping too she is better. Migraines are the worst. Please keep us posted! Oh, and by the way... in case you do decide to go to Florida, and you are absent from our thread.... here is some good news for you to help cheer you up.... you were #2 in our weight loss this week! WAY TO GO! I can't put up the official results yet, the other captains haven't posted yet, but I think I needed to add some sunshine to your life with a bit of good news!

MinnieMouseMom, me too, I never cared very much for Kim, I think the whining gets to me, and last season she kind of fell apart. I guess I always see trainers strong and when she fell apart last season because her team didn't work with her/like her/???? that was tough to watch.

hrpufnsash, last season Kim really struggled with her team. they didn't really respect her at times. Jillian has such a personality, and Kim just doesn't seem to have a "nitch" Bob is compassionate, Jillian is tough, kim is ??? Hard to say.

Losers have a losing day today! Results for the challenges/weigh in coming soon! And we did really good this week!

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

I still kind of like posting in different colors! hope you guys don't mind... Anyway I have some good news to report, I stepped on the scale again today and I am already down another 1.5# for the next weigh in! At first I wasn't going to post that, but I figure I better so at least I maintain that loss, and keep motivated for more!

Also, last night I had a Silpada Jewelry party. I bought bars, cookies and crackers with Port wine cheese... yum! In the past I would have gobbled, scarfed, and sneaked alot of that food. Probably 1/2 the cheese container would be gone by now. BUT I didn't even really struggle with not taking a bunch. I had a cookie before the party and slowly savored it, then I had only1 cracker with a bit of cheese for taste. ONLY 1 cracker! Can you believe it???!!!! I didn't even have any of the turtle bars. I have had them before, know how they taste and didn't even really consider having one. And the best part? It was't a big struggle, I actually was satisfied, and didn't even realize how little I had eaten of the snacks unitl I was talking with DH and told him how proud of myself I was! I took the bars and froze them, figuring if I need a sweet snack they are there, otherwise I didn't want them just out for the taking. I also had a great workout this morning. I did the high intensity Biggest Loser I DVD. I was sweating! Then took the dog for a long walk after. Feeling pretty motivated still. Hope everyone has a sun shining, magical day today!

Vija - WTG!!! You're doing awesome!!! And thank you for the credit on the words of wisdom but I can't accept, they're from becka's sig line.

Goldcupmom- how's today going for you guys? Have you made your FL decision? Tough one!! Can you call the airlines and move it back a day due to medical reasons?

Becka - how'd you make it through last night??

Dopey4disney...where are you??

[goldcupmom]

Thanks, Vija! I needed that. went to WW this morning just to weigh for the first time in about 6 weeks. I was actually down 1 lb!!!!! Now only 1.4 above my pre-cruise weight. that was a positive, too!!

I think this weeks challenge I'll at least get some in. Tonight is bubble bath night for me anyway. it's my retreat - I have an oriental soaking tub...(it's why I bought my house!) Think Pickle barrel & you'll have a pretty good idea what it is.

Spent an hour playing games to entertain DD last night. Should have been doing Ebay, but.....

Still don't know about FL.

Way to go! that bubble bath sounds like fun! An hour of playing games counts toward your challenge points... you earned yourself 10 points with that hour with DD. AND you earned 1 hour of time with your DD that is special time, ebay, shmebay.... time with DD is the best!
