Yikes it's been way to long since I've updated this thing. Life is good quite honestly I am still focused on my quest to live a healthy lifestyle. I'm not focusing as much on the weight loss as I was earlier in the year which is why I haven't updated but working out and eating healthy is still extremely important to me.
Anyways onto bigger and better things at the moment like Season 8 of the Biggest Loser!
I cannot tell you how excited I am to be watching this I am already in love with the contestants and their stories. I cannot wait to learn more about them.
First challenge is the last mile of the biggest loser marathon. The prize is immunity and choosing their partner for the season. I am so excited to see Daniel from Season 7 and that he's back!
The opening challenge was a little scary with Tracy. Girl you finished the race you totally rocked that race. She was medivacced out. :( She finished the race though which is what her goal was I am so proud of her for that.
I had a longer post but it didn't save :(
Anyway Alexandra got voted off.

Ok tonight's show started off with a nutrition challenge and Mike won it! The final question was between him and Kristin. The question was how many calories are in a fast food fried fish sandwich and Mike was 5 calories below the number. He won an all expense trip to New York courtesty of Good Housekeeping. He did such a great job! Bob was not thrilled that his team didn't win because they should have a better grasp of their nutrition so he made them carry a camera around for the day to go over food. So far he's not happy with their breakfast because it was to low calorie. Their pizza did not have any protein on it, their snack wasn't enough. Bob is not a happy camper LOL! It is actually hilarious to watch this. Hilarious hilarious hilarious!
The big challenge was for 10K dollars or could be traded in for a 1 lb advantage. Tara won. They were taken up quite a ways in the air and they had to hold onto a rope. Mike was out first, then Ron, the Filipe (who I'm sorry was a total jerk up there by bouncing around and tring to throw everyone else off their game) Kristin, Helen, and Tara won it. WTG girl!
The last chance workout tonight was BRUTAL for everyone and was very inspiring to watch. I know I got up and marched in place while watching!
Weigh in Helen was only down 1 lb. Kristin was up 1 lb. They are both below the yellow line. Tara took the money way to go girl!!!!!
Ron is game playing and told Mike to vote against Kristin so that it would result in a tie and Kristin would go home. Ron however won't write Kristin's name down so he keeps his promise.
Kristin went home. She was not the biggest loser this week.

Scroll down if you want to see the highlights of what I thought happened....
Ok the challenge today was tough they had to go through all these platters which had a hidden item whether it be gum w/ cash prize, cupcake, coke, chips, etc....There was one golden ticket hidden out there where the winner of that received the only vote for the week. Laura won it. The amount of calories that were consumed OUCH I was seriously sick after I watched it.
The people who were below the line are Helen, and Sione were the two below the line.
Sione is the one who got sent home.
Seeing the kids totally excited to see their Daddy was wonderful. His wife seems like a wonderful person and when she teared up talking about how positive all of this was for the family I was tearing up myself. And the recent pictures of him are amazing he has done a fabulous job! Keep up the great work Sione can't wait to see you at the final show and good luck on your new career!!
The game play is ON in the game now ON ON ON! It was crazy to watch tonight the playing that was happening.

3/31/09 Biggest Loser Recap
Ok if you don't want to know who got voted off quit reading now.
Are you still there?
Ok still thinking about it?
All righty here we go. The show started with former players coming back for a weigh in. Nicole won and she got to come back to campus which of course rocked everyone to the core and she had immunity for the week provided she didn't gain. They kept pushing this point throughout the entire show which really sent up some flags for me as I was watching.
Ron had to go to the hospital and they found what was causing his pain something about an ulcer my little girl needed her Mama for more milk so I missed the exact diagnosis but they got a diagnosis and he got to go back to camp.
The challenge prize was a 1 lb benefit unless Nicole won and then she would get to give the pound to another player as in they would not have the benefit of it....The challenge was to balance on a platform on ropes over a pool of water. One of the cousins won it so YAY!!!! Kristen almost had it though and she totally rocked!!
At the WI Nicole gained 5 lbs EEP! So she did not have immunity and of course went below the line. Ron gained 3 lbs because of all the IV liquid. Laura gained 1 lb. Mike lost 11 lbs WTG!!!
So it was between Nicole and Ron and after the votes were done it was Nicole going back home. Girl you are gorgeous and you look great!! I'm sorry you only had a week on campus but OMG on how great you looked in that wedding dress you are a true shining star!
Are you still there?

3/24/09 Biggest Loser
Ok if you don't want my recaps quit reading now
Are you still here?
Yes you are maybe?
Ok here it goes.
They have gone from teams to singles and they had to pick which trainer they wanted for the rest of the season. I cannot imagine how hard that was for some of them, then for others I was like yeah didn't see that one coming oh the cousins went back to Bob I totally didn't see that happening TOTALLY blindsided me yeah right whatever. Anyway I still wish them well as I do everyone on the show at the moment.
Then it was the time for the challenge and the part of the challenge that totally blew me away was when they had to pull the car 1/2 mile. I am soooooooooooooooooooooo proud of Tara she ROCKED this challenge and won immunity as well as a bunch of other things. And Tara if you ever happen to run across my ramblings I am so glad that you didn't walk off the show. You are totally an inspiration!
Then it was weigh in time and Tara was 1 lb away from that 100 lb milestone she wanted to get. Next week girl next week! Kristen is the first female to beat the 100 lb hurdle on the campus though. WTG!!!! You rock!!! Ron lost 10 lbs but unfortunately he lost more than he wanted because Mike is close to the bottom at the moment but Filipe just weighed in and it's going to be him and Aubrey below the yellow line.
And at the end through all the votes Aubrey got voted off. She is not the biggest loser. I wish her well and hope that she has the power and strength to keep going. I hope she is a motivation to her family and her Dad. I am glad she gets to see her kids again I know she has missed them sooooo much! And I am crying at her reunion. Her kids are so cute! In the first two weeks she gained 9 lbs back but it forced her to see how easy it was so she is now forcing herself to go to the gym and has lost 10 lbs since leaving the ranch. Keep reaching for your goal Aubrey!
*dim the fridge light thingy tonight is over*

3/17/09 Happy St. Patty's Day
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!
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!

3/10/09 All Day
Well first things first if you don't want to know what happened on the biggest loser look away now LOL!

Ok if you haven't looked away I warned you! It started off with a recap of last week and had Mike on the scale for the ooooo to be continued part. I hate that I'm sorry but seriously the attempt to keep us on our edge of the seat is bogus. Anyway feelings aside Mike had to lose 10 pounds or more and nobody would get sent home. If he didn't lose 10 lbs then one person from each team went home. He lost 11 WTG MIKE!!!! Then there were competetions people on opposite teams were paired off to compete, another competition black won again and got 24 hours of luxury where they went to an awesome looking hotel and lived the high life and ate and drank the high calories. I dunno how I feel right now I am still processing this. Everyone knows what you have to do in order to lose weight and they blew it out of the water blew it. Oy! At least everyone regretted it and I hope for them that it was one of those things that they will remember how they felt at the end of the day if they want to do it again. The guilt each expressed is something I have gone through myself. The feelings suck and knowing what has to happen and knowing where you fell of the wagon it's tough! So Black team I am still cheering for yall even though I want to ask each of you what were you thinking? And holy cow I want a drink I need to get that figured into my menu somewhere. Then the cousins had a big blow up at Jillian and walked off her team (I hope just for this week) Well somehow even through the splurge beyond splurges the black team won. Mandi gained and I am so sorry to see that she had worked so hard. The team talked and they agreed that it was Mandi's turn to go and she did. Her after video looks great and I can't wait to see if she makes her goal of being a size 2 by the finals. This season is so much different than last I love everyone right now unlike last season where I was throwing things at the tv going WHY are they still here LOL!
So that's my recap and yes I left a lot out but what I wrote about is where I felt inspired but I'll get to that later.
Waking up was hard to do and I honestly did not want to. I had to though as a day in the office was calling to me or rather the paycheck was calling to me. The temp here was going to be a lovely 80ish so I went on a search for capris to wear. That shouldn't have been hard I had bought a bunch of size 18's last year and some were still tight at the end of the season. I pulled them out put them on and couldn't figure out if I should scream with joy or aggravation. They seriously fell off as in they did not fit at all. They were huge on me. WAHOOOOO I decided to scream for joy but I had to go back to the closet on a hunt to see if I could find any from pre Roo days and I did. Size 14's that I had not worn in 3 years fit and they looked AWESOME! OMG I did it!! I am FINALLY back in pre pregnancy clothes. WAHOOOOOOOOO!!! So the day got instantly better and I skipped to the kitchen to make snacks and lunches and then I skipped out the door. I was wearing pre pregnancy clothes today WAHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I made it to work and enjoyed my serving of apple cinnamon cheerios eating them dry because milk doesn't really travel and dry is fine with me. I got to work and had my apple and 2 laughing cows around 10. At 11:30 I had my roast beef sandwich which was delicious.
Then the day went wonky. I needed to run to Michael's to get stuff to make a floral head wreath for Roo for some pictures so I knew I would be leaving later than I normally do since I took lunch. At 2:30 D sent me an IM that the daycare had just called him and Roo was sick and needed to be picked up. They said she had pink eye and was fussy. She had been totally perfect this morning so I ran out the door and made it to her daycare in record time. When I got there her eye was nearly swollen shut and she was in tears and hysterics. It is so hard to see your baby girl like that. :(... We headed home, called the doc, got drops called in, made it home, cuddled, bounced, cuddled, walked the floor, played up, down, up, down, watched her cry, wanted to cry myself, cuddled some more, watched her stumble around the room because her vision was off, held her, sang songs, talked, tried to comfort, wanted to cry because she was clearly miserable.
D made it home with dinner which was brisket, potato salad, and beans. I had a lot of beans not so much of the other. Dinner was tough because Roo was playing her up down back and forth hysterical crying, eating off each of our plates, cuddled, held cuddled and just tried to comfort.
When we decided that we'd had enough of that torture Roo told us she wanted to go on a walk and tried to climb in her stroller. I was all for it because today was my running day so we turned on the garmin and headed out for Week 2 of C25K. Roo lasted to the end of our block and it was over for her. D took her back home and I grabbed the garmin and hit the road. I am proud to say that I did it! I actually did it wrong and ran more than I was scheduled to and I won't be doing it wrong again but I did it!! I DID IT!!!!!! When I finished and hit my cool down walk I was trying to figure out if I was going to make it home because my legs were killing, each step hurt, and I questioned whether or not my knees were going to hold me up. I am going to keep doing this I am not going to give up!
I got home and D had already gotten R to sleep for stage 1 of the night we anticipate a lot more wake ups because she's already been up once as I am writing this. Poor girl. Anway after she was in bed I got on the elliptical and I did a 20 minute program again. It was the same one I did last night and I am so proud to say that I improved my calorie count from last night. I worked it hard! So today I worked out for 50 minutes of cardio. I did it!! I am going to lose this weight once and for all!!
It was then time for my evening snack and I had 2 waffles w/ 1 tbs of pb. :)
Till tomorrow yall fingers crossed we get sleep tonight and Roo is doing good tomorrow.

3/3/09 All Day
I woke up with a renewed heart and spirit for this journey today. Eleanor Roosevelt said at one point in time that you must do the thing you think you cannot do. Just maintaining on Monday was crushing and I felt like throwing in the towel. I know that my body loses slowly as long as I stay on the path and I must do what seems like an overwhelming task a lot of the time. I am on this journey for life it's not a do it and be done. Once the weight is actually gone I have to maintain and when the time comes that we can have numero dos come into our lives I will have the journey to repeat again. I cannot give up now or else I will not get to that point in my life. I am doing this so Roo will learn that a healthy lifestyle is a great thing to partake in.
Watching the biggest loser tonight (and no news on if anyone got voted off yet for those that are checking here for the answer they are making us wait till next week BOOOOOOOO) it was so motivating to me as a parent watching what Mike did. I am not going to spoil what he did but I can say that he is a genuinely awesome person.
Ok so I had the renewed spirit this morning and I got up easily out of bed and I came out to get lunches and snacks ready WAHOOOOOOOOO!!!! Breakfast was a serving of banana nut cheerios. Morning snack was an apple and two string cheeses. Lunch was the baked ziti leftovers. Then afternoon snack was a serving of cottage cheese and raspberry yogurt mixed in. It was out of this world good DELICIOUS!!! It was even better than the blueberry yogurt which is and always has been a huge favorite of mine. Dinner was a piece of salmon, a serving of peaches, and a serving of Knorr Rice. It was sooooooooooooooooooo good!! I am still craving fish though so I need to figure out how to hit that craving so that it stops being a craving. Roo was so excited about the rice and fish although she was a baby bear tonight and really didn't want to eat once she got a taste it was over. She was so cute!!
I did a workout tonight! D was exhausted today he didn't get more than 3 hours of sleep last night so he wasn't into a workout so I did a program for the first time in two years on the elliptical. It was sooooooooo intense but I am happy to say I powered through it! I DID IT!!!!!!!!! 30 intense minutes with a warm up and cool down. I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow I plan to run.
Evening snack was a cappucino shake YUMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
You must do the thing that you think you cannot do. I can lose this weight once and for all because for so long it has seemed like the impossible task. I can do this and I must do this.
