Biggest Loser and Goals

First to my goals from last week.
1) To not drink any more diet sodas (or sodas of any kind). I have done well at this one. Actually better than I thought I would do.

2) To try and drink decaf. whenever possible. This one not as much as the other, but I am drinking lots more water and come coffee in the mornings. By just eliminating the soft drinks I cut this down a great deal.

3) Get in 3 days of exercise between now and Wednesday (hopefully this will include the season 1 BL DVD). I didn't get 3 days of exercise in, but I did get 2 days in. I also jogged some on those 2 days, so I'm giving my less lots of credit for this one.

Now to Biggest Loser. I just loved it. I kept waiting for the black team to join the other teams, but I guess that will have to wait another week. Even though she was booted off this week, I was impressed that she had lost 60lbs. That is great.

I just couldn't believe how sad it was when those 6 people didn't get picked. I was almost in tears. But all is well, they have Jillian and she will get them into awesome shape. I am so excited that the season has finally started.

I still haven't giving up on my quest to get the Biggest Loser workout DVD. I checked overstock.com today and they have it, but it will take a while to get here to me.

Weigh in day

So today was my second weigh-in day and I lost 1 lb. So I am back to where I was and that is great, but I really want to see a new number I haven't seen in a long while....say like 175 or less.

I have noticed I'm been drinking a ton of water. That has been good for me. I also have had this want to jog and get a good sweat on. I did that on Monday. It was fun pushing myself. I didn't jog my entire time. I did 3 little stretches on jogging, but it got the heart rate up and the sweat level up. Unfortunately it rained yesterday during my walking time (after work but before I get the little one from daycare) and that meant just going home and paying more attention to what I ate.

I am a little frustrated. I have wanted to buy the Biggest Loser Season 1 workout DVD but I can't find it anywhere but online. I guess I will break down and order it somewhere on line, but I was hoping to get it fast and start on it. I also didn't get to watch the Biggest Loser season premier last night, but I have it saved and look forward to watching it tonight.

In Remembrance

Tagged!!!

I have been tagged by Mrs. Shannon....So here goes...8 Randon things about me.


1) I am a CPA married to a CPA and we have a sign that says..."CPA's count"...aren't we cute and funny accountants.


2) I love American Idol....love, love, love. I call in and vote every season.


3) My Dad shaved his head for a radio station contest so me and my best friend could meet Billy Ray Cyrus when Achy Breaky Heart was the biggest thing ever! I still have pictures and the hat Billy Ray signed....somewhere. I didn't ask him to do it either...talk about random.


4) I just received a level one Reiki attunement.


5) I can touch my nose with my tongue. weird I know.


6) After dropping my son at day care I like to listen to his Veggie tales CD to learn the words better. I hate singing along to songs that I don't know the words too.


7) I have a huge thing about Elvis. I think it is a something for the women in my family. We all love Elvis. My hubby and I even decided that we had to Sirius satellite radio instead of XM because they have an all Elvis station...Elvis lives on Sirius 13!


8) I have a blogging addiction...recently developed ; ) My husband actually told me I was addicted to the internet the other night. Just because I didn't want to watch another episode of "the Universe" with him...whatever.

Not sure who I can tag since most of the folks blogs that I check out have already been tagged....but here are a few.

Southern Fried Fatty since she is part of the reason I picked up this blogging thing.

Inspiration

CNN has a series called Fit Nation. Here is a little inspiration from someone who has lost 110 lbs.

Three years ago Sharon Twitchell was miserable.

Sharon Twitchell lost 110 pounds and went from wearing a size 22 to a size 2 in 10 months.

Carrying 227 pounds on her tiny 5'2" frame, the 51-year-old mother and wife could barely squeeze into her plus-size clothing.

Just for you Twix

This is just for you Twix. You were so brave to post a picture when it was the last thing you might have wanted to do.

This is me circa 197?....(sorry I couldn't be as brave..heheheh)

Challenge Checkin

Well yesterday was a really good food day. I made good choices and it wasn't that hard : ) today has gotten off to a great start too. I have already had two servings of fruit.

The other good news is that I stopped eating when I was full. GREAT IDEA HUH?!?!?
It is always a great idea but most of the time I just have to finish off whatever I have on my plate. So my resistance muscle is finally ahead of my give in muscle.
