First things first for those who do not want the big loser recaps look away now







Are you looking away?





Now?




Ok here we go. All of the players got to go home for the competition. The competition was to run a half marathon. There were a variety of places that were used such as outside and a school gym. It was great watching everyone do this and getting to see their families. The twist was they each had a tin of cookies and they could eat a cookie and add 5 minutes to someones time. The prize was 10K. Tara time wise won by a little over a minute over Sione but Helen had eaten a cookie against Tara so Sione won the 10K and Tara lost out. I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this. Yes it was a game but give me a break eat against the opposing team not someone on your own! Anyway they workout and they move forward and blue team loses the WI again and Kathy asks to be sent home. Everyone (including her daughter man what a hard choice) decide to go with her wishes so she went home and of course she is looking great! I wish you the best Kathy and I can't wait to see how hard your daughter works. I feel for Kristen that was seriously a hard choice for her and one that hurt. HUGS!

Now watching them run that half marathon is TOTALLY inspiring. They hurt they pushed through and they DID IT!!! WAHOOOOOOOO!!!!! It made me want to go out and run myself and if my leg weren't cramping like it currently is I would have.

B: apple cinnamon cheerios S: forgot to eat or rather wasn't feeling 100% L: leftover slice of pizza (homemade) S: 1 serving animal crackers and light yogurt D: 1 tbs spanish rice, 2 homemade chicken enchiladas (2 chicken tenders shredded and divided among 2 high fiber tortillas, topped with light queso) s: pear (real) and V8 juice.

Workouts: 1.5 mile walk/with jogging with family. It wasn't a good walk though we had a lot of trouble because DD did not want to be in the stroller nor did she want to be carried, nor did she want to walk or run on her own. It left us with a lot of FUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. We speed walked and jogged home just to make it home quicker so that those on the neighborhood would quit glaring at us LOL!
