BL Blue Team week 4 Sept 27-Oct 3

[ohMom]

yes, water! i'm working on that again too -- i got out of that mojo in Vegas, at least i don't think bahama mamas count?

today i'm going to my FC for a strength training workout. made it through yesterday eating wise OP, did get called into work for 3 hours in the late afternoon, came home and walked with my neighbor and crashed out! everytime i'm tempted to stray and snack I think of the really yummy desserts we had at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill and think nothing in my prepackaged goodies comes even close, nor is it worth it!!

vija -- how's your mcD's boycott going??

 

[ohMom]

hey i'm back -- where are you??

ok, Vija, i got to thinking about you and your mcD's weakness and how i so boldly check up on you here in public? maybe that's not fair -- unless of course i join you?!? seriously - for you it's mcDs but i'm a serious sweet tooth. maybe we should join forces and go cold turkey for a week. what do you think? i'll give up my sweets and you give up mcD's. we can report in EVERYDAY and not lose focus together??

anyone else think this may be a good idea for a little blue-team challenge starting tomorrow for a week??

princess@heart -- i'm going to PM my exercise totals to you here today. i did a 60 min session at the FC today

been listening to Dr. Phil's ultimate weight loss CDs in my van -- i popped in the one that talks about exercising. he says for overweight folks to lose weight, they must exercise 5 hours a week. i like good solid goals, clear cut like that

ATTENTION ALL BLUE TEAM MEMBERS!! dont' forget to PM princess@heart with your exercise totals for our previous weeks (wed - wed) exercise challenge and your WI results tomorrow

I'm finally back, Blue Team! I spent one week at Disney came home and almost immediately left for a conference in Chicago. I have to say, there will be a gain tomorrow morning. I ate out every meal for close to ten days! I hope it won't be terrible.

Also, I still have my foot in a boot, so I'm not doing any exercise yet. I have another MRI scheduled for tomorrow so I should know soon what the next step is.

Hope everyone had a great week! I'm back and on track as of today!

Hey ohMom, my boycott isn't going that well. I swear I should have bought stock in McD's! I have found a holding pattern that is working for me. I can have it 2 times during the work week. So far so good. Now they started their monopoly game and I am addicted to that. However I am willing to go cold turkey on something else I love. Chips! I adore them , and I will take up your challenge starting tomorrow if your game too!

Welcome back Jana, hope you had a great time at WDW!!!! Did you go to any of the halloween parties? If so, how were they? I am planning on going next year and I can't wait!

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

Oh, almost forgot my numbers...

exercise yesterday 45 minutes and today 70 minutes so my total is 285 minutes.

BUT, I saw the interesting info Ohmom put up from Dr. PHil that overweight people should exercise 5 hours a week. That would be then 300 minutes. So... I am going to set my goal next week to be 330 minutes. that is adding on 45 minutes from this weeks numbers. I know I can do that! I am so thankful for the team challenge because it got me motivated to get off my butt and put up some exercise numbers for the blue team... and Ohmom's info from Dr. Phil has me motivated to make sure I get in those 5 hours. Thanks guys!

So I had 15 minutes of excercise yesterday and 120 minutes today. Which brings my weekly total to 320 minutes if I did my correctly.

I got my medical test results back today from the Dr. The only thing they found was reflux which I already knew I had. They don't know why I am having abdominal pain. I am to continue taking the medicine for the reflux and go back to the Dr.'s in 2 months.

I am posting on this thread since I knew I would be up (from the Vegas trip) and shoot I was right up 2 lbs (should be grateful only that much!) and my exercise total is 110 minutes to add.

I want to make TODAY my clean slate -start and moving forward and DOWNWARD - I hate this EXTRA roll around the middle - it's gotta go!!!

ohMom I will take you up on that sweet-tooth challenge and at least 5 hours of exercise next week too - I am like you I need something I can put into black and white - next week is a good one for me to get going ~ DH out of town all week and NO EXCUSE for me

See you all on the new thread - and willing to accept a challenge!!!

P Vija - start this week by eliminating those chips and get that craving gone and then you will see that it is possible to move on to ridding yourself from McD's - have you tried the new Kashi trail mix bars - I really like them - 2 WW pts each and you could probably have a WHOLE box and still not come close to the pts consumed at McD's ................................. and BTW - ohMom - those bars are a bit sweet (with honey) they are allowed on our challenge - right - you are talking about -"out-n-out" sweets/chocolate right ???? Well, just detail the challenge - I am THERE

 

[Mermaid02]

My exercise total was 205 for the week. Not great but not too bad! I have WW tonight and I think I am down some. Hopefully. It's been a rough couple of weeks for me!

Hope everyone is doing well-
