Almost done

So i stayed the same this week on the scale. Not a great feeling. But not much I can do about it at this point. I wish i had pushed harder at the beginning so I could have lost more than I have and more importantly gotten the $$$ involved in winning, I was looking forward to a new camera that didn't really come out of my pocket. Even though they do this at work about yearly, I have a feeling this will be my only attempt at the Biggest Loser so here is to the last week and we will see where it takes us. At least to the top of my team and that is probably it, there was no published results from last week so i don't even know if i am still in the top 10, but I will give it my best shot this week and see what I can lose and although I am happy with the loss of space, the shedding of pounds right now would be better!

One more week to go!

My computer has been freaking out for a week now so I am once again behind!! The reason for that freak out would be that I tried to install Dragon Naturally Speaking so that I could just talk my posts and it would do all the typing for me, since my brain runs faster than my fingers but that did not seem to work out for me, instead it raised my blood pressure and my blood sugar!! And cost me a lot of time on the phone to the antivirus company!! But on the weight loss subject...I am # 10 on the Biggest Loser challenge and that is better than I thought I would be. I figure that the field will widen this week because I am guessing that the people that are in the top 10 or so will really try to kick it in to gear. I know I have been working a little harder at it this week, not that I am sure it is really helping out, but I am working atit. My hubby keeps telling me I am losing weight or at least space but "you have to remember that muscle weighs more than fat." Yeah Yeah Yeah!But I need to scales to drop not the pants size or the bra size right now! So I am hoping that this week proves better than last since the final weigh in is next week and i would love to have some $$$$ from all this effort!!

Not feelin it!

I am so not feeling like I have lost anything this week, I weigh in tonight so I guess we will see. I have not done great on my eating this week but I only missed one day of working out so not as good asI should have been, I am a little disappointed in myself, but I will do better next week. I am making out a grocery list and I will eat off it only even if my family doen't join in. I probably need to hit up my Beachbody coach and get some quick tips so I can pass them on and use them myself! Oh and i am enjoying the TurboFire workouts, even though I look like a drunk monkey half the time. If you are looking for something to get you or keep you moving you should give it a shot!

Here are the links to the beachbody sites if you are interested in purchasing any of thier workout programs that I mentioned in a previous post. I thought the link worked, only to find out it was not there later. You should definatly take a look at them and see what they have, I have been drinking the Shakeology and I have only good things to say about it, well mostly, it grows on you as far as the taste but I feel better andlook better, my skin and my hair have improved so much and I am pretty sure it is part of the reason that I am losing weight! So check it out!

Winning the Team!

I am down 3 lbs this week!! That puts me on the top of the list for my team by about 2%! Still not great but at least I am losing and I am winning! So this week my goal is to be down 10% from the start of the contest, yes that is a big goal, I need to lose about 7lbs to do that, so I am sure that is a little to much of a loss to achieve but so far I am doing good on my intake and my exercise! Oh yeah it is just Sunday!!

Not a good blogger!

I Really suck at this whole blogging thing! I feel like I sometimes suffer from short term memory loss and I just forget to do it! So I am probably also suffering from the lack of the 1/2 percent point that I would have gotten from this also, which also sucks because I really am in need of it. Right now I am at least on the first page of competitors in my weight loss and much to my suprise in the lead of my group I think. This week I am beginning my newest Beachbody program TURBO FIRE with Chalean Johnson. I have done another of her programs, Chalean Extreme with good results and I enjoyed it. CE was a lot of strength training with some cardio, Turbo Fire is lots of cardio with some strength the plan is to take off more weight with it than with CE. So we will see how that works out. I am starting today with the 5 day inferno plan. I will be better at keeping informed and I may even post a picutre once I am done (only if I lose alot and its not to scary!!)

Back to internet access!

AHHH! Back to the internet and civilization! Not that I really missed it to much it was sorta nice to be seperated from life and on a real vacation with no contact with the outside world and therefore no worries! My family just spent a week with my husbands family in the wilderness of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a beautiful place with no modern conveniences. At least not where were at. We do have running water, sorta, with the old fashioned hand pump for the well. So I got my strength training in for the week with priming the pump and filling the jugs and the buckets everyday! I also got my workouts in with walking “the loop” while watching for bears! And even got my runs in for the C25K program with no shin splints, I am not sure if it was because it was all done on sand or the new chi-running style, but my shins were not sore regardless. So I will take it! I also spent my fair share of time kayaking on the open waters so my arms got a pretty good workout, if you have never tried kayaking backwards across a lake you should, I assure you your triceps will be on fire!!!

Now we are in Wisconsin at the dells with my family. Yesterday I ran on the treadmill for my C25K, not to bad and today I ran in the halls (which are endless) and played in the wave pool and the AWESOME ball and play area they have here at the resort. I am sure that if I could have calculated the calories burned it would have added up to several thousand! So tomorrow I may take the day off and really vacation a day at the local spa for a massage is sounding great and I think my feet and my back would thank me for it by the end of the week!
