Good morning I hope everyone is having a great morning.
Ihad a gain of 1.5 since last week. I wanted a loss but I didn't get it. I plan to be more careful with what I am eating and try to up my exercise.
I hope you all did well in our challenge last week. I worked out 6 days out of 7. How abou the rest of you?
Are you ready for the next challenge? We are now going up against the rest of the teams.
Two weeks have elapsed since the start of WISH BIGGEST LOSER ROUND 3 and our participants have settled into their routine of WISHing and LOSING and SHARING now its time to
TEAM CHALLENGE NUMBER ONE!
For this first challenge between the teams, team members are going to have to evaluate and meditate on what it is or isnt that they are putting in their mouths. Food is fuel and our big losers need quality energy to burn body fat during their workouts.
Here is how it works; below you see a list of tasks. For the next 7 days you are challenged to complete as many tasks as you can. Each one is valued at 5 pts each. During the 7 days of the challenge, keep record of a completed task and at the end of the week turn in your final total score to your team captain, or designated teammate. For example, task #1 Drink eight glasses of at least 8 oz of water each day ----- this is a one time task and you must complete it entirely to award yourself 5 pts. However, task #2 Try 2 new fruits or vegetables .. is possible to complete this task more than once. Each time you have successfully sampled, and hopefully enjoyed a serving of, a new fruit or vegetable you can award yourself 5 pts. Tasks that can be completed multiple times are marked with an ***
This challenge is on your honor system, be accurate and honest with the points you award yourself. After all, if you cheat you are only cheating yourself from forming healthy eating habits
TASKS:
Drink eight glasses of at least 8 oz of water each day
Try two new fruits, vegetables or combination of either this week ***
(new is one you have never tasted before)
Instead of snacking -- spend 20 mins engaged in a hobby or interest ***
Eat a healthy breakfast every day instead of skipping this meal
Eat at least 3 servings of whole grains this week ***
Consume at least 2 non-starchy vegetables 3 days this week ***
No eating of fast-food -- salads and Subway excluded
The challenge begins on Wednesday Sept 19 at 12:01 a.m. and end on Tuesday Sept 25th midnight. Your final score must be reported in by Thursday Sept 26 at 3 p.m. EST in order to be included in the team score. Team captains will report in to each team and report the final results in their weekly team thread on Thursday (Sept 26) evening.
Wanna know what youre playing for?? The winning team earns bragging rights and the right to include a clippie of such in their signature until the completion of the next team challenge.
Suggestion print out the task list and keep it hand to mark off each time you complete one for easy and accurate record
GOOD LUCK AND Bon Appétit!

Weight Watchers is really the best plan for me...along with burning 300 calories during exercise 5 days a week.
rolleyes: ) their kickboxing class for something different.
I met my fitness challenge and will do this week's. I can handle the no fast food since I generally don't eat it anyway. I'm just glad it didn't say NO eating out because my DH and I are going out for dinner tomorrow for our 15th wedding anniversary. I'm happy because it seems a Ravens' game always gets in the way of our celebrating. 
And hey, not everyone makes it 15 years right? 
I am definitely going to print off the list and put it on the refrigerator!
The only thing i can think it is im not drinking enough water. My hands and feet are swollen so i'm sure thats what it is. I worked out friday, saturday and sunday. Yesterday and today not feeling well( i think im coming down with the cold everyone is passing around our family and at work). I accept the challenge and will earn lots of team points. I love trying new fruits and veggies. I will have to go to the store and get them and whole grain. My sister is also losing weight and she is the cook in the family and doesn't eat anything but meat, veggies and whole grain bread for toast. So this will only help me. We also started a project tonight for our fish extender for our cruise.
