TEAM MICKEY--Biggest Loser 11 Spring Team Challenge!

[tigger813]

Merryweather27- We have a family at church that we have become good friends with. They are also huge Dr. Who and Torchwood fans. We have had get togethers just to watch Dr. Who. They came over the day after Christmas to watch the Christmas Carol episode! We can't wait for July 1st to watch Torchwood! We will probably get together weekly for that! I didn't get to watch all of The Children of Earth today! I watched the first disc. I'll probably watch disc 2 Wednesday morning!

Had a great morning! Got my tax stuff together and organized on my spreadsheet and put in DHs desk with all the other stuff. I also got a little cleaning done. I got an email from Ash's teacher that she and some other teachers would like to talk to me about Herbalife and where they should start and they also want me to start a weight loss challenge which I hope to start in 2 weeks at the school. Waiting to hear back from the principal for permission. Also plan on setting one up at work.

Didn't work out but I have been eating and drinking well today. I need to go clean the kitchen now and think about what to fix Ash for supper. She has newspaper after school today and then she has dancing at 5 and then a math event after that. Hoping she doesn't have too much homework. I'll probably just skip the workout today since I know I'll get up early tomorrow and then do my workout during BL tomorrow night. Wednesday I will kick it into high gear as well!

Ash will be home any minute so...

I just wanted to say you are one busy woman and I get tired sometimes just reading everything you do in a given day.

I slept a lot over the weekend and it may sound strange bu TOM gives me extra energy! I've done all the laundry and changed the sheets and cleaned the kitchen. Girls want chocolate chip muffins for breakfast this week so those are in the oven. They are from a mix so I just had to add water!

Time to make my shake for dinner! I had a Boston Market meal for lunch! Honey Roasted chicken with potatoes au gratin...only 410 calories! A bit more than WW or LC but it filled me up. I have also had some of the Peppermint Patty pieces! I'm hooked on them right now! 50 is like 170 calories! Don't think I had that many!

I hope to get the results posted tonight so I'll be back later!

I'm sending this message to both teams!

I am having a dilemma regarding weigh ins this week. Our numbers are down considerably this week and several have asked to be exempt which is perfectly acceptable. Some who have had bad weeks have still chosen to send me their weigh ins as well. I appreciate their efforts. That is their choice. I am not questioning anyone but I really don't want to declare a winning team this week. Several just got back from vacation or are recovering from the Princess.

Does everyone understand where I'm coming from? I know there is no "prize" but I'm all about fairness.

Instead of a winning team, I will just recognize the top 10 on each team and recognize the top person for each team.

That makes sense. This has got to be a crazy month for weigh ins anyway between the marathon and Spring Break is a different week for each different school in the country. I could imagine trying to lose weigh this month is difficult all the way around.

 

[Rose&Mike]

Tracey--that works for me. Please let me know if any "issues" come up.

I'm one of the ones who went ahead and reported my weight this week. I am up about a pound and a half from last week, but still solidly in my maintain range, so I am ok with that.

I hope everyone is doing well. I am trying out a bunch of new g-f recipes this week, and so far so good! It's nice to be eating something besides Amy's bowls (even though I do love Amy's bowl.)

I am in love with the almond joy flavored ones! I haven't had any in over 6 months tho, you might be making me go buy some, lol!

I love Amy's bowls! Last week I branched out and tried the cheese enchiladas. So yummy!

Sorry, I had intended to send in my weigh in, but no sooner had I posted earlier than the power went out again. I didn't get home from work until 10 pm so it is too late to do so now.

Mother nature can make things look so beautiful even when they are devastating. All of the trees here are caked with ice. The trees look like they are made of crystal and are so beautiful. At the same time those trees are damaged. The roadsides are litered with brush piles, broken trees and ones that have been cut from roads and moved. It is amazing how much damage was done in just one day. Things could get worse tonight as it is cold, the ice is already on the trees and if wind picks up more trees will break. White birches are already bent so the tops are touching the ground in a complete arc.


In other news I received a second interview time for Thursday morning Praying that this or another opportunity works out soon.

 

[Stinasmom]

Hi Team!
Trying not to be MIA here but have been busy with the cruise meets thread and tying up loose ends before we head to the airport this Thursday night.

Weird about the weigh ins... I did get mine in and was down a bit even though I am trying to maintain. It's an interesting balance to change the diet again.
Although that was Friday and this is Monday, I am pretty sure that extra couple pounds are back as I ate more today than I can remember in a while.
Both my DS10 and DH are home sick with the stomach flu ... this was no time for me to not be able to tell if my stomach was hungry or queazy! So, I ate...

DD14 and I even went to a restaurant to get out of the "sick house!"

Besides, we board our cruise this Saturday... FOOD will be everywhere! I best figure out what I can eat and how to still maintain!
Not to mention that the boys in the house best be better very soon!

I have a mani and pedi tomorrow! It's just fun to say that!

Will be checking in here and there, and should be able to send in my weight this Friday, however, I will be checking it on the scale in the fitness room at the Hyatt at MCO! I know there is a scale there because I used it to weight my luggage a couple years ago after repacking stuff while we had a "day room," so as to not exceed the airline's 50 lbs. max!

The next Friday, March 18th, not only is my B-day, but we will be on Castaway Cay ... will send a PM to be excused for that weigh in as I won't have internet.

Hang in there everyone! Spring is around the corner and everyone will want to be outside more, eat less, and not hit the couch for TV when it get dark so early!

Ack - sorry I haven't had a chance to get back on tonight - things have been crazy. I will try to get some replies in tomorrow morning. Here's Tuesday's QOTD:


QOTD 3/8/11: What sources of inspiration and motivation do you turn to on this journey (online or off) besides the WISH boards?

I have found a few healthy living bloggers that I read almost daily:
ronisweigh.com
losingweighteveryday.blogspot.com (this guy went from 505 in 2008 to 230 today!)
priorfatgirl.com

 

[tigger813]

QOTD: My supervisor for Herbalife has been a great help to me! I'm meeting with her for a few minutes this morning to plan out my weight loss challenge at Ash's school. She is very inspirational and knows the business well.

Well, I'm within a pound of where I was Friday so I guess this weekend wasn't as bad as I thought. I we also VERY good yesterday drinking my water and tea and was very close on calories for the day. I really would love to reach my final goal by March 25th so I can really enjoy my girls' weekend! I feel very foucsed since I'm so close! Just need to keep it up!

I got up and did the 3 mile Pilates walk! I hope to do the 5 mile walk later today and then my 2 miles on the elliptical tonight. 10 miles just sounds doable today for some reason!

Going to post the week's superstars in a few! I've got it in front of me so I just need to type it in!!!!!

Deb--ice storms stink! We had one a couple of years ago that shut things down for a week. More than half the city lost power and there were trees down everywhere. Even during the summer branches kept coming out of trees. I hope things warm up soon! Good luck with your interview!

Marcy--maintaining is a little tricky at first. I continued to lose, but very slowly. I hope you have a great vacation and a great birthday!

Congrats to all the superstars this week!

Tracey--are you going to report goal % this week?

I hope everyone is doing well. We are having a fundraiser at work today--pancake breakfast. I won't be having any--I don't think anyone has plans to make g-f pancakes. I am taking fruit in for toppings for the pancakes.

I am hoping to make it to the Y today. I have a knee thing going on and haven't exercised since Saturday. Fingers crossed that the knee cooperates today.

 

[Rose&Mike]

Tracey--My only question--were there maintainers on either team this week?
Thanks!
