BL challenge ~ BLUE TEAM ~ week 5

[hobbester]

Wow, I am so shocked! I've never been #1 at anything, let alone my weight. I owe it all to you BLUE, I really fought a lot with my food decisions last week. BLUE you really inspire me to do well. Thank you for all the good wishes!

I was proud of myself last night. I made a batch of fudge to enter into our State Fair today and I only tasted a very small bite. I "made" my DH eat a few pieces to see what he thought.

Shelley, that is cool that we live so close together. I'll pm you sometime.

2 more days - we can do it. Go Blue!

Last night I had planned on eating some chips while watching BL.... I know, that is an oxymoron at the highest level! Anyhow I got busy sewing our costumes for MNSSHP (adding spiders and worms), it kept my hands busy and I DID NOT EAT ANY CHIPS, OR THE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES MY KIDS MADE!!!!! I am so proud of myself!

Way to go!!!! That's willpower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wednesday QOTD: What Disney character are you most like/can you best relate to?

Probably Tinkerbell. Because she can be so cute and sweet but if you cross her she'll have the Lost Boys shoot you out of the sky like a Wendybird. Either that or Belle. I just love her strength and intelligence.

Good luck in the fair! Let us know how it goes, please!!

You ladies have been awesome!!! CONGRATS LISA!!!!!!:cheer2:

I've been eating alot of salads and chicken lately so, I'm feeling pretty good. Last night was the first night in a long time that I can think of that I DID NOT go back for seconds on anything!!!!!:cool1: I was SOOOO proud of myself!!! I'm going to see if I can try that again tonight!1

QOTD: I think I'm most like Minnie Mouse, Belle, and Ariel. Minnie because she loves everyone no matter what or who they are and is just so darn cute!! Belle because she can tame even the meanest of the mean. Her kindness and love and personality wins over every time!!! Ariel because I love the water and would do anything for her man, even if it means losing her life or family for her one true love!!

Keep up the good work ladies and I hope next week we all could be number 1!! I've inched up. I was number 4 or 5 the week before and now I was number 3!!! YEA!!!!

I totally missed Brenda's post last night when I posted so...

Congratulations Lisa!!!

QOTD: I think I'm most like Belle. I enjoy learning and I would do anything for my family. I also married a beast and have been able to tame him for the most part...

Have a great day everyone!

QOTD - I think I'm most like Fiona from Shrek - According to my kids, I'm human during the day and an Ogress after sundown - especially around bedtime. I live in a swamp (or at least some days my house feels that way); Far Far Away sounds like a place I'd like to be be on certain days (especially when the kids are fighting or my mother visits). And while I might really suck at hand-to-hand combat and break a few rules along the way, I'm a fiercely loyal friend and mate. Sometimes I care too much about people seeing the Orgress on the outside rather than the beautiful Princess I am on the inside and it makes me look for a magic spell (or doughnut box) whichever is easier to find. I'm down to earth and independent like Fiona and I'm married to a smelly orge who has as many "onion" layers and flatulence issues as Shrek, and am an equal to my Shrek, whom I will love to the end of time.

Hi guys, I have been sooo busy! Packing for our WDW trip, and getting our costumes done. I haven't had much time to get onto WISH. I am sooo excited! Our trip is almost here! It is a birthday trip to celebrate my 40th birthday (which is in 1 month), we are just going early. But guess what? I got a card in the mail from my MIL yesterday, and she sent me an early birthday gift! It was so sweet I started crying! She sent some money and I am looking forward to buying something special to commemorate this trip.

QOTD: this may sound silly but I think I relate to Woody the best. (I know... he is a guy! )He is self conscious at times, and doesn't always have the best self esteem, but when push comes to shove, he is a great leader, he can really be creative, fights for his friends, and is truly a wonderful friend!

Thursday QOTD: Are you following a specific diet/exercise plan? WHich one and why?

 

[TammyNC]

Good morning Blue Team....

QOTD: No specific plan...watching what I eat and the amount and have just started getting a little walking in but will be working more on that.

My WI this week has me down 3 pds, I'll take it, especially after being gone last weekend.

Not much time this morning but keep up the great work!!!

 

[hobbester]

Hello Blue!

Wed ? - I'm most like Winnie the Pooh. My nickname growing up was "Pooh bear". I am kinda shy sometimes, but always am willing to try something at least once.

Thurs ? - I have just been trying to watch my portion sizes, the kind of food I'm eating and walk more.

This morning has been very difficult, but so far I've done very good. My section is celebrating Boss' day. Everyone brought in all kinds of carbs & sweets. They only thing I had was 1/2 a bagel. I wanted a lot more, but I looked up some of the calories (donuts, cinnamon buns, biscuits) and decided to eat 1/2 this morning and the other 1/2 this afternoon.

Hope everyone is having a good day - Go Blue! - Lisa.

Hey Blue did you see COW 6 is posted?

Here are the results for the COW 4:

So now for our first scores- drum roll
First off, I am proud to announce that we have 3 perfect scores, one from each team.

Way to go goldcupmom, SILLYANDI, and sahbushka!

And so the winner is Black team with a score of 80 points!

Blue is in second with a score of 77 points and

Red is in a close third with 76 points.

Keep up the good work gang!

Man we lost by 4 points!!! Ouch that hurts!! Could you have helped earn those 4 points. I know I could have if I tried. Let's all try harder this time. We can be victorious!

Before my weight reports start pouring in for the week and I have no chance to think I'd like to send a shout out to our Blue superstars especially PRINCESS VIJA and Hypermommy. I know Vija has been working hard and she has a trophy and all but being a superstar can be nice too. I was so happy to see Denise's name this week because she was concerned that she would never have the chance to be a superstar. Well see Denise now you are and you CAN do it again.

I look forward to hearing from everyone over the next couple of days. Report no matter what. This is a journey with roadblocks and challenges along the way. It's important to just keep trying to move forward.

Have a healthy day!

Jaime,

I just read your wonderful trip report. You have a lovely family and you are beautiful. Those girls are real cuties. You are so blessed to be able to have enjoyed such an adventure with them. When my kids were growing up we were dirt poor. I called our summer vacations poor man's vacations. We went camping but had a ball (or is that bawl or brawl?) Watch out Jaime they really do grow up fast. Enjoy them now. I'm going to see my baby soon. He's 23 now. Time flies. It doesn't seem like it when you are in the trenches but some day you will look back on these years with fondness.

That's so sweet thank you. We did those camping trips when I was little...they were a blast

We wanted to go on DCL in 1997 for our honeymoon but just couldn't afford it...so we decided to do it for our 10th and the CN$ agreed with us at the time. We are hoping to go one more time hopefully next year but it depends on the CN$ and my dd's health.

Hey, where is everyone!!!! Please post and say hi!

And remember, Please post your mini triumphs, they are what the building blocks of healthy living are made of!

The QOTD's for this week come courtesy of Black team's goldcupmom. THANKS!

QOTD for Monday: Where do you live? country, city, sate, Region... whichever you feel comfortable sharing!

Sorry I haven't been posting...it has been a crazy week.

I feel as though I may be down a pound but not much more then that...I decided to have my full Thanksgiving dinner. I live on the east coast of Canada.

Hi everyone,

Didn't get on the boards again on Friday and totally missed the link. So today I get on and there's already 4 pages. I must admit I skimmed through a lot. Please forgive me if I ignored anything important!




Thanks! Sparkpeople is what I've been using but only the "record the calories" portion. Don't have time for more messageboards and such. I was just hoping the "official" word on my allowed calories would be different



I just love the way you said that!



What a wonderful thing for us to remember and what a fantastic way to remember it!!!! Thanks for the story.



Wow!!!! What a trophy!!!!!!!



I live in North Florida. Y'all send some of that cooler weather our way!!!

Okay, guys... gotta run. Gotta get back to the grindstone here at work. Missed you guys!!!

I love Florida...hope to live there some time

I hope everyone has been having a great week!
