New Week

I am so excited to see the progress everyone has made over the last week. Tomorrow is weigh in day, and I know it is going to be a good one. Even if the numbers are not what you want, remember it is a process and not a race.

Barb shared a yummy treat I am hooked on. They are called Kim's Magic Pops. You can get them at HEB. They are like a rice cake but larger. Each pop contains 15 calories and no fat. They are great with a little low fat peanut butter and glass of water...you feel full:)

Check out the biggest loser web site. They will donate money for every pound you drop to food banks.

Be sure to share your weight loss tips with us.

Make it a great day!

Week 1 Down

Everyone had such a great week. Even if you did not get the results that you wanted, don't get down. Just keep your eye on the long term prize. I have to remind myself that I did not put the weight on overnight, and it will not come off overnight either. I just downloaded the app from Couch to 5K, and I am going to try to use it for my cardio. If I ever hope to run that half marathon, I have to start somewhere. I will let you know how it is going.

A big congratulations to Teresa and Barb for winning our prizes for the week. I hope you enjoy them ladies. However, everyone that dropped weight won the best prize!!

Make it a great day

Welcome Monday

Hope you all had a wonderful and healthy weekend. Tomorrow is weigh in day, so I know we are all being extra good. Don't forget that there will be a drawing on Thursday for all who have dropped weight this week.

Let's Get It Started!!

Good morning all! Today is the kick off day for our biggest loser contest. The idea of dieting makes me want to cry, so I am looking at this as a lifestyle change. I have blown every diet I have ever been on, lost and gained weight like a yo-yo, but I know I need to make a change. I want to feel good when I look in the mirror and enjoy shopping again. So today starts with small steps and changes to make a long term difference. I have started the do squats and leg lifts while I dry my hair in the morning. Climb up and down the stairs a few extra times each day. I started to do calf lifts on the bottom step before I start up each time. 20 reps makes my tush start to burn. I know I have such a long way to go, but my goal is to do a half marathon a year from now. I am putting it out there so I can have more accountability. My next hurdle is going to be setting real time 3-4 times a week to really work up a sweat. I hope we will share our highs and lows on this journey together, and I hope we can be a real support system to each other. In the end, we can't all win the money, but we can all be losers together! Make it a great day!

Prayer for 2011

Dear God,

This year I pray for a fat bank account and a skinny body. Please don't mix them up like you did last year.

Amen


Thanks for sharing a smile Barb. Hope you are all having a great day. I am fighting the urge to curl up under a blanket and enjoy some good comfort food. Going to go for a piece of fish instead. My next hurdle to jump is to get myself motivated to wake up early to work out...any good ideas?
