TEAM MICKEY--Biggest Loser 11 Spring Team Challenge!

[Disneywedding2010]

Afternoon Team Mickey!

I hope everyone's weekend is going well. I've got a few things that need to get done today: Start paper for this awful class (blah), get on the treadmill, and get the meals planned for the week.

Meal plan for the day:

Breakfast - Scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, hashbrowns, and white toast (it was awesome!)

Lunch - lean cuisine

Dinner - Chicken alfredo, baked potato, and green beans


Oh, and I called Disney shortly after I got up this morning. Alan's son is on the reservation and Magical Express has been booked

 

[Disneywedding2010]

Sunday's Question of the day: I have invented a teleporting machine. You can pick one location anywhere in the world to be teleported to for 12 hours. Where would you go?

At this point it would be anywhere warm . I'd say maybe the Carribbean somewhere.

 

[my3princes]

Oh this is easy for me! It might not be tropical, but I'm sure it's warmer than here. I would go to SC to see DS! 12 hours is the perfect amount of time and I could be home to sleep in my own bed!

I am doing my meal planning. I always feel like I've accomplished so much when I finish, but like I've been tortured while doing it!

That sounds like a perfect way to spend your day.

Chuck is also friends with most of our Creative DISigns friends even though he has never posted. He reads most everything but just doesn't like the posting part. He loves it when we can get together with some friends at Disney. Those are our best trips.

Deb definitely would be awesome at Designing or Decorating. The stuff she has done is amazing. Either that or organization which so many people need help with nowadays.

It is hard to explain the benefit for me. I just am more motivated. I don't feel so lethargic. Most people who know me don't realize how tough winters can be on me unless they are very close friends. If I'm not taking my vitamin D, I don't answer the phone, I lay around watching TV, spend too much time on the computer and basically just hiding from the world. I am overly emotional and cry at commercials. I can push my self through it while I'm at work and in public.

My best friend that had the extreme deficiency had the same type symptoms on a larger scale. She couldn't drag herself out of bed most days. When she was up, she cried all the time even at work.



Sounds like the Vitamin D might be something to try for you. I would have the same feelings. I would want to get started and just couldn't get myself to do it. Thanks for the article. That is what I've heard and need to start doing.



That's the biggest culprit for me. I drink way too much soda. I drink about 80 oz. of pepsi a day. Yes, I said 80 oz. That is 1000 calories a day alone! I was able to cut back to about 4 oz. a day a couple of years ago and lost about 15 pounds just by replacing that with water. Then I changed jobs and got out of the habit so I packed all the weight back on. I'm pretty good about not eating the no-no foods thankfully. Otherwise, I'd need to lose a lot more than the 30 that I'm planning on.



I wish I could cut it out cold turkey. I have tried and that just doesn't work for me. First off, the caffeine withdrawal is horrible. Keep up the awesome work.



Deb, I was going through something similar at work. Decisions are being made that I'm being blamed for but I have absolutely no say in the matter. It was bothering me quite bad for a while. However, I had the same moment of clarity. It is a job and I can only do as I'm told if I want that job (which I do so that I can go to Disney and buy nice treadmills and ...). I'm glad you have come to the same and hope it gives you some peace.

I am currently at a large 12. If I gain anymore, they won't fit. I've never been more than a 12. I'm shooting for a 10 but listening to you guys, think I should set a better goal for myself. If I could get in an 8 I would be so happy. I was a size 4 in high school and a size 6 through college.



It's going to be cliche but I think I'd still say Disney World. It is some place that I could go and know how to get the most out of those 12 hours.

I'm off to purchase the treadmill. Then have to figure out who I can get to help me get it in the apartment. I can put it together myself but need help unloading it from the car. Have a great day everyone! Thanks for the help with the motivation to be successful on this journey.

I think I may need to try vitamin D. It certainly couldn't hurt.

Saturday's QOTD:

Is there an article of clothing that you aspire to wear when you reach your goal?
Swimsuit, although anything, right now buying clothing is so frustrating and I try to avoid it. I would love to fit into a size 10 clothing. Then again shoe shopping is horrible as well, as I have long narrow feet so it is very hard to find shoes as well as clothing.



Maybe I need to crash your trip, Hawaii for my 30th birthday sounds like a great trip.



Hugs to you. Don't beat yourself up. Don't say never ever. If it is too hard to do a big improvement make small ones. Get the junk food out of there or lock it up. Or if you decide to keep it around, if you want chips put a serving size in a bowl and then put the bag away. Have the one soda and then drink water the rest of the day. If you go out to eat, pick something healthy. Pack some of your food up in a to go box as soon as it comes out. Eat part of it in the restaurant and take the rest home for later. Good luck with the financial issues. I hope that you can make progress on getting all of it under control.

So Sunday's Question of the day: I have invented a teleporting machine. You can pick one location anywhere in the world to be teleported to for 12 hours. Where would you go?

Someplace on the other side of the the world perhaps where it is warm and sunny. Somewhere where it will take me a day plus to travel to Tahiti, Polynesia, Australia, Tokyo, China, Korea, Africa. Although maybe Ecuador to visit my cousin. Or Castaway Cay.

No need to crash, your welcome to visit Hawaii with us.

I think a place that would take more than a day to travel to is a brilliant idea

Hey everyone, sorry I have been MIA lately. I am at least down 2#!!!

My dad had a heart ablation on Thursday, spent the day with them. Then yesterday got the call he was heading back to the ER because his groin was swollen and hurt. Back to the hospital... (1 hr away from where I live). He isn't doing good. His blood count keeps dropping, so he is bleeding somewhere. Probably the groin, he is in now for a CT scan to see where he is bleeding from. I am sure he is going to have surgery today and maybe a blood transfusion. So... I am quick trying to get everything done as I am sure that I will be heading back into the hospital later today. This just sucks!

On the upside, I am doing the BL for my DH's work and I feel pretty good about that. Getting in about 1 hour of exercise every day. I physically feel much better. Although yesterday my food intake was less than stellar. Amazing how stress affects your choices if you let it!

AND I got flowers sent to my work on Friday anonymously from a patient!!! That was ouststanding. Another nurse working said she can't remember ever another nurse getting flowers SENT to her at work as a thank you from a patient! Feels pretty good!

Sorry I have to run, got to jump in the shower quick before I get another update on my dad.

I'm sorry about your Dad. Hope they figure it out soon.

Hugs to you Princess Vija!!!!! Praying for your dad!

Slept in this morning! Turned alarm off early as I felt that sleep was what I needed most! I got close to 10 hours which is very rare for me! I took some Tylenol PM last night and I think it helped!

Had last two pieces of pizza from supper last night for breakfast this morning. Just had pork yellow curry over white rice and a piece of TJs garlic bread!

Cam-I bought a package of those Chili Lime Chicken burgers you mentioned and box of the grilled chicken burgers. Hoping this will help me this week.

I've got 3 EASA workouts to get in today as well as a few miles on the elliptical! SO I guess I had better get going! I'll send out the reminders between workouts. I had a lot more coming in today and I believe I've entered them all now!

Mickey is still down by about 15 pounds! Keep those weigh ins coming!

TTFN

Glad you got some sleep. That always makes me feel better.

Afternoon Team Mickey!

Great plan. I'm sure Alan's son will totally enjoy his first trip with you.

Sunday's Question of the day: I have invented a teleporting machine. You can pick one location anywhere in the world to be teleported to for 12 hours. Where would you go?

At this point it would be anywhere warm . I'd say maybe the Carribbean somewhere.

Warm would certainly be nice

Good Afternoon!

It's been a busy day here today. I had trouble waking up when the alarm went off, but I'm not really surprised. I tend to need a lot of sleep over the weekend. I think it's because I wake up so many times at night on weeknights. I think.

We went grocery shopping after lunch and bought a good amount of food. We usually don't buy so much. There were some good sales-the freezer was getting empty anyway-and we were actually out of some of the essentials. 4 lb bags of oranges were on sale so we got one of those, plus lots of stuff for salads, and some frozen fruit as well.

Now for some replies:

Taryn: Take it from the expert on bad days, we all have them. Look at the positives:
- You are able to look back on it and figure out where you could have made a change or two.
- You are motivated to do things differently.
- You are optimistic about things.
- As you said, "you put your big girl pants on."

You are an awesome person and yesterday was just one day. That was the 1st day since Jan. 1st of 2010. You are one of the people I for your diligence and success. I owe you big time for your constant support. You are amazing!

I owe you a PM, btw. You should have it soon.

CC—I think that container sounds perfect for lunch at work. And it seems like I got a pm from you last week. Did I forget to answer something? I’m sorry, I have been very distracted this week.

Oh, no, not to worry. I should have been clearer. I have received very few HH PMs and was more concerned that I am not receiving 100% of my PMs.

Thanks for everything! Just sharing and knowing that someone would read it was a huge help!

I can't wait to try my new container out tomorrow. Sounds like I'll have to report back on how I like it.

Hugs to you Princess Vija!!!!! Praying for your dad!

Same here.

QOTD: I have to say Disney. You can't beat the natural exercise and the excitement. A 12-hour trip would do wonders for my mood. Disney is truly my "happy place."

 

[Stinasmom]

Sunday's Question of the day: I have invented a teleporting machine. You can pick one location anywhere in the world to be teleported to for 12 hours. Where would you go?

Definitely warm, sunny , tropical, where there is an amazing pool with lush gardens and a lazy river; on the beach, of course, where the water is warm and turquouise, poolside service , and a cabana to retreat to when I need a break from the sun.

You know, I've been reading about how many of you have given up soda, even diet soda, and I didn't really get it. Not that I drank much soda before... maybe 1 per day, 2 occasionally. I do know it's not good for your teeth. But now that I'm not eating salty fried foods, I'm not even wanting soda. I don't miss it. Yea!

Hello Mickeys and Donalds!!

Just a reminder to send in your weight AND team name to tigger813.

And your HH points AND team name to cclovesdis.

And Donalds--I am still looking for two coaches. C'mon, you know you want to give it a try. If replying to eveyone is stressing you out, you do not have to reply to every post. We have some coaches who do and some who don't. They are both equally appreciated. I will admit that last summer when I first coached I was a little nervous--but really it's a lot of fun!

Please pm me if you are interested or have any questions!

I'm with you! I can't stand this anymore! I saw our Dollar Tree starting to put out Easter stuff and I got excited just thinking about Spring and warmer weather lol.

 

[smile4stamps]

As for the weight fluctuations--I'm contemplating going gluten free. I'm going to talk to my doctor about whether that could be causing my stomach issues and a lot of the other weird symptoms I've been having--pac's, horribly irregular tom, etc. I spent a lot time researching it all yesterday, and while I'm not sick I have so many mild symptoms, it's getting hard to ignore. And I can honestly say, I am at my wits end here. But can you imagine--gluten free and vegetarian. That won't make eating out difficult at all! Normally when I bring stuff up like this to Mike he looks at me like I'm crazy and a hypochondriac, but he said a couple years ago I would have said you have a crappy diet, but you eat well now, so it sounds like gluten really could be a problem. Anyhow, we'll see what she says. My weight was actually down later in the day yesterday, go figure!

So I thought I had a gluten issue about 2 years ago. Everytime i would eat cereal I would have nasty stomach issues. My Doctor ran all the tests and they all came back fine. So I thought about it a little more and realized the issues were also whenever I had milk. I stopped having plain milk and most other dairy items and my stomach issues mostly resolved!

I now have cereal with Almond Milk (when I have cereal) and my tummy likes me a lot better and I like the almond milk for that purpose!

ReAnst - I've had a bodybugg before and loved it. It tracked my calories burned, number of steps I'd taken, and the time. I'm replacing it because my old one bit the dust and I couldn't get it to work again.

I've looked at the bodybugg's but they look pretty expensive. You feel its worth it? Does the bodybug itself tell you how many calories you have burned or you need to look at your computer?

Didn't realize it was a balance board game. You are supposed to be barefooted for that. I have arch issues if I do too much on that. That mat probably does help. Thanks for the PM. It was very helpful, and I spent much of the day yesterday researching various methods, plans, spreadsheets, and trying to make a plan I can live with. It's scary, and going to be hard, but just like weight issues, I didn't get here overnight, and I won't go back overnight.

I really hope the PM helps. I know firsthand how stressful debt can be. Even more so when you can't see any options. Good luck! And let me know if you need any other thoughts or help with trying to use coupons. My family and my co-workers all call me the coupon lady.

 

[tigger813]

OK, I'm an overachiever!!!! I just did 4 workouts on the EASA2! Burned about 700 calories in 1 hours and 50 minutes approximately! Once I got started I didn't want to stop!!!! I still plan on doing about 2 miles on the elliptical tonight.

Going to take care of the reminder lists now while I chug a bottle of water. I drank a 21oz Hydroflask of water during the workout!

I feel so much better now that I've got that done! Hope I can get to the wellness center in the morning to get me on track. I will do the EASA2 workout in the morning and probably a BL workout or the elliptical! See what I'm in the mood for and how sore I am from the step aerobics that I did!

YogaMama--I almost missed you!!! Hope you have had a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY today!!!!

 

[smile4stamps]

I forgot to quote it but my3princess. Thanks for the congrats on getting control of the debt. I have a LONG way to go till I get to the end of the tunnel but I am very thankful to at least see a light in there! It took me 2.5 years to stop living paycheck to paycheck and robbing peter to pay paul. Now I am living paycheck to paycheck but no longer having to rob peter to pay paul. In other words every month a little bit of debt is coming off and not continuing to build.

So today I had NO ambition. I really had no intention of exercising. I made myself swiss cheese fondue (which due to the lactose intolerance I'll be paying for soon) which tasted SO GOOD but not the healhiest option. I did however get both servings of calcium in with it though for the HH and I dipped an apple in it. I was going to dip some broccoli too but I think my broccolli is past its prime.

I did finally talk myself into going for a walk though. I walked about 1.8miles in just over 30 minutes. I even jogged for about 3 30-second intervals. That was all I could handle! but as a person who has never ran in my life its a start.

 

[poochie]

Good evening everyone, my name is Ann and I am very excited to be on team Mickey. Hopefully this will help keep me on track for my weight loss.

My goal is to reach 160 by the time we leave for our trip to the world end of June. I have been pretty steady doing Tae bo everyday since last July for a total weight loss of 38 pounds. Yes I started at 218 . But I have slid off the track. My DH is not helping he keeps ordering in pizza, wings, shows up with snacks. In fact while I was working out yesterday morning he came in from his job (words 3rd shift) with breakfast. Yes you guessed it MdDonalds, bacon,egg, cheese biscuit and hash browns. Today he insisted on going out for dinner Applebees. Man he makes this tough.

As a pick me up I just finished coloring my hair and am sitting here on Dis waiting for the timer to go off.

So I need everyones help please to keep me on track and strong.

We've been working on paying down debt too. I thought that we would have most of it gone by this month, but alas it didn't happen. We did pay off our DVC purchase though. Now to work on the camper that we bought last fall. It really was a once in a lifetime deal that we couldn't pass up. We paid $10000 for a brand new $26000 camper

[my3princes]

I'll post Mondays QOTD now since there isn't much hope of me getting on before 9 PM tomorrow. Both jobs tomorrow. I keep telling myself how glad I am to have kept my part time job just in case I need it to fall back on in the future.

Anyhooo...Monday's QOTD: What can you do along your weight loss journey to magnify the impact or give yourself a self esteem boost?

When I lost 50 lbs years ago I treated myself to a new haircut. I had had long scraggily hair and went with a cute modern cut. I also went to a mall (the closest one is 1 1/2 hours away ) and had them show me how to propery apply make up. I felt transformed from head to toe. It was amazing how much those small things added to what I had worked so hard to achieve.

 

[poochie]

Anyhooo...Monday's QOTD: What can you do along your weight loss journey to magnify the impact or give yourself a self esteem boost?

Definately shopping for new clothes for my trip I was in womens wear ugh. But I am already in ladies sizes and I hope to drop at least 2 more sizes 3 would be awesome. This way I can show off my new me.

I drank sooooo much diet soda. And ate really bad food with it. I really think my body had an adverse reaction to the aspartame, because I felt a lot better when I gave it up. Then a couple of months later I had to give up caffeine completely because of a minor heart issue. I was so glad I had already started, because cold turkey would have been tortuous!

Tracey--I'm glad you had a good day today!

welcome! Congrats on losing the first 38 pounds! That's great!

I must have missed it earlier.

Nope, just me being distracted today. I try to check the birthday list everyday, and I knew we had one this weekend, and then I forgot!

Ok, I hope everyone has a good Monday. I will probably not be checking in until late tomorrow, or maybe not until Tuesday. I have a busy day at work and I'm going to group strength after work.

 

[Disneywedding2010]

Alan got home around 5 after doing some work and I was on the phone with a friend. I didn't even realize 3 hours had gone by! OYE. So, we decided we'd just go grab something at Chilis. I considered tonight my splurge night and had chicken crispers, with fries, and we split an order of mozzerella sticks. Other then the occasional thing of french fries from Wendys I've not had a lot of fried food this month.

Blah, I feel sick now and felt even sicker when I logged the meal onto my Sparkpeople account, 1800 calories!! And I just now realized I didn't even log the mozzerella sticks. That sent my calorie count for the day almost to 3000!

Yeah, I'm letting my food settle and then going to walk 2 miles on the treadmill,
