third week..
It's getting tougher to get all of my points. I really though it would be the opposite.
Sunday, March 28, 2010
Rollacoasta...of love.
So...
I have been all over the map in the last week with my effort levels. I have no idea why, it is wicked clear to me (and everyone around me) when I'm having a perfect day. I feel completely in control of everything in my life. And there is no better way to describe my attitude in general as "kickin' ass and takin' names" I love it, its like a high. A really hard high to score.
I set the bar kinda high for myself for my habits (having workout done before work/before family is up) as my house could be burning down around me and I wouldn't even kick off the covers. I sleep very, very deep. The hypochondriac in me has been freaked out about that for a while, but what kind of a-hole goes to the doctor because he sleeps too good?
Today was an awesome day. Its 9:00pm I still have 19 ww points left. I had my water busted out by 2:30 and was thirsty by 3:00. I stared down some Reese's PB ice cream after dinner, and won. I'm trying to ease up with the days off, as I'm mostly interested in kickin' some face this week. I have started a new regiment of medication for the never ending headaches and one of the most common side effects is weight gain, not really excited about fighting that fight...but I'm gonna win.
Took the new wheels out for a 2.8 mile slowride, but that didn't feel like quite enough for a good workout so... I hit the 'mill at full incline @ 3 mph shadowboxing with weighted mitts on. That got me sweatin', throwing punches like you mean it for 20 minutes, is a wicked cardio workout. I recommend it (to my team...screw you other guys)
Thats all I got, I'm going to try to post more often than my mandatory once a week. So...
Peace out.

2nd Week
Lost 2.5 lbs I am happy
Points 832
This week was better than last week. I am really enjoying the game and working on positive things really makes a difference with everything. Getting 7 hours of sleep is hard during the week, I messed up twice this week. It is 11:00 before I know it. I have to really plan to be in bed on time. I will do better this week. This is a great group and I love the support. I am going to get on your group chat if I can figure it out. Kirby sent me the information, but I may have to have her give me step by step instructions. Watch out for the Dream Team this week.

Team Tons o' fun weekly avg: 675.5
This has been a tricky week for a couple of reasons. I sure didn't have the same fire burning inside like I have now, or had last week. I dropped the ball a couple of times and it was really lame. I did just start a new medicine for my headaches that is supposed to take like 3 weeks to start working, and sudden weight gain is listed on the possible side effects (sweet, huh?) So to help combat that (even though I know better) I drastically cut my WW pts from thirty-four to 24... and I'm pretty sure that didn't help much. Lesson here?... use your points. The program is designed as such, so eat em.
We've also had some confusion on a few grey areas in the ww/go crossover. So, from this week on, to be clear. Your beverages of choice are: Water 3 liters (mandatory) Coffee: black only, no creamers or sweeteners. And herbal teas. The only artificial sweetener that is allowed is Stevia (which I don't entirely trust) My only beef with this, is that if its tracked and pointed, then is should fly. But, you will get more out of your experience if you just stick to the basics. Water, Coffee and Tea.
Even though it doesn't look as if we are going to win this time, I have to applaud my team for kicking ass even though at times the rules can be a bit overwhelming. Good job guys. Keep on keepin' on... We are gonna take this game. buleeve dat.
Good job everybody... the scores look awesome and a big ol' fat congrats to Fab Four.

Felt good after stepping on the scale. . .
I've had a pretty good week. Not quite as well as last but, I can only blame myself for the laziness. I had a couple mornings where I would not wake up and go to the gym, but on the days that I go, I feel soo good during the day. So you'd think that I couldn't wait to get up @ 4 am to go to the gym. . . I've also faulted on sleep a day, and faulted on my good and bad habits a couple of days (this almost being the hardest part of the game). . . .but I can say is that I am having a good time regulating what I eat and how much. I believe that it is helping me get healthier. The water is no big deal, instead of drinking 3 liters of diet coke, I drink 3 to 4 liters of water a day.
Back a year or two ago when Adam told me that he was going to weight watchers, I made fun of him and asked him if he took his favorite purse to the meetings. . . but in hind sight. . .I should have been right there next to adam in those classes packing my favorite man bag! . . . I like the points system. . .It works for a normal person with a normal lifestyle. If I over eat at lunch time, then I have to skimp on dinner. That's how it is! But for the most part I am setting myself up to have about 25 to 26 points left for dinner. Even at dinner time I'm still regulating myself so much that I sure I'm going to bed with about 8 to 10 points left for the day. I love having the WW point calculator on my blackberry, but hate looking like an idiot counting points in the grocery store. But it has to be done!
Having a good time, and meeting some cool peoples. Thanks for all of your support, and thanks for putting up with my trash talk.

Weekly Team Average: 643*
Overall Team Average: 729.25*
All I can say is that the five days I spent on the road with Vanessa were worth the devastating point total I accumulated last week (apologies to Ben and Toni) and the loss of alcohol privileges for the remainder of the Game. Back on track and ready to GO!
* These scores and averages are changed from the original scores and averages because I forgot to add 10 points for reporting my score to myself. (So embarrassing.)

This week is 166.4
Total LOSS -3.4 lbs
My pts are 823
I lost 10 for checking a text one day while driving, Totally unconciously! ARGGGHHHH
I was so disgusted with myself
I lost 10 for screaming, after taking a day off from already doing it once, *sigh
and I lost 2 pts for randomly stepping on the scale on two different days, wth?
Anyway, overall I am feeling good and am soooooooo much more aware of what I put in my mouth and realizing how wrong I was eating and am surprised that I wasn't fatter!!!
I had an appt with Dr. Cutie, I mean Dr. Nolte the other day and I am going to have some bloodwork done and have my cholesterol checked, that will be interesting I think!

Yes, my prediction was accurate. This week was a whole different story. Even after I got home and back to my 'routine' I struggled this week. Part of it is this spring cold I have been suffering from for over a week.
There are a few things from my trip that reminded me that I have made some really good lifestyle changes that have become part of my routine. In the past, for me, road trips=diet coke, cheetos and licorice. I can honestly say at no point during the trip did it even cross my mind to purchase gas station grub. Typically, we didn't even enter the gas station, just paid at the pump.
We stopped at Trader Joe's (similar to Whole Foods) and I stocked up on bananas, apples, clementines and soft oatmeal raisin cookies. Oh yeah, and wine and cheese. LeRoy was with me, what do you expect?
Geoff and I also talked about how much easier it is to travel when you aren't chasing your next high. Read: diet coke. I have been know to pack dc in the suitcase. There was none of that this time. I can honestly say I am to the point were I go more that a day without thinking about diet coke.
I've been doing good with my bad habit of no texting. Surprisingly, the new habit of reading or blogging 20 minutes a day has been a lot harder! So weird, its something I enjoy.
Here's to onward and upward! Looking ahead to week #3. GO! V

Blueberry Squares
I found this recipe of WW website and it's really quite good if you like blueberries and really quick so I thought I'd post it.
1 box Angel Food cake mix
1 Can light Blueberry pie filling
You add the pie filling to the cake mix; do not add anything else! Pour into 9x13 pan and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Let cool and cut.

So I had this craving lastnight......
Im not sure why but about 9 pm I started thinking about chocolate licorice, I had 4 pts left and I was thinking that If I had some licorice I could surely have a piece or two and still be within my pts for the day.
I looked and looked all through my house and couldn't find any, I even asked my son if he had any in his room, NO he didn't, I couldnt stop thinking about it....
He said he would go to the store for me if I wanted him too, I seriously considered it and at this point was thinking about eating the entire bag!!!
I decided to chug a big glass of water and wait for 15 minutes,
after 15 I was still thinking of chocolate, I did happen to find 3 mini twix in the back of the cupboard, I think they were from Halloween, they were a little firm but I thought oh yum, this could be the ticket to stop my chocolate craving......
As little as they were, I figured up the pts and they are FOUR pts each, *sigh
I held one in my hand for a minute and then had some more water, I was totally rationalizing everything in my head, "was it really worth 4 whole pts?" I mean I could have TWO fiber one bars for the same amount of pts.
I talked myself out of eating anything, and told myself I could wait until morning to have my yummy WW breakfast sandwich!
I guess I am sharing this because it was a huge milestone for me,
How often I would have just eaten all three mini twix, plus had a cookie because afterall the candy bars were just little.......
Being aware and concious of what we are eating and how many grams of fat & calories is so key to maintaining weightloss....!
I love my new plan, WW rocks, I don't feel deprived or like Im even on a diet, just a brand new lifestyle!!
Making better choices is going to lead to a better me, =)

I thought i gained 2 pounds... luckily it was only one... but sadly i lost the bonus points of an otherwise perfect week on paper.
I spoke with vanessa and my team leader stacy and I need to change my fitness goal. I had an appt with the oncologist tues in salt lake and I am realizing I am fighting my meds and my body is still adjusting. i just cant seem to break 160. It takes all i have just to hover around that number. I am ok with that. I want to be healthy. I just dont want to let my team down. I want to be fair. I want to work as hard as everyone else. I will post my new fitness goal this evening.
Thank you.

Week 2 Day 1
Wow, so that was new and different.
When I started this game a week ago, I was 10 pounds heavier than I started out this morning. I went from 340 to 330 in 7 days and I feel pretty damn good about that.
The water hasn't been that big of a deal for me. I was worried at first, but it turns out that I was already doing 3 or more liters a day anyway. So kick ass!
Changing my bad habit has actually worked really well with the 7 hours of sleep rule. I have been getting the 7 hours every night and I (mostly) get to work on time. I feel great about both.
My new good habit has been a lot harder than it probably should be. I hate to admit it, but it has been really hard to actually spend 1 on 1 time with my kid. Although once we start I love it and usually end up spending more than my 30 minutes playing with him.
The exercise has been by far the hardest thing to do in the whole game. The first two days really killed me. It took me almost the whole rest of the week just to walk right again. But now I am able to spend more time on the elliptical before I need a break and that's pretty kick face.
I've got some mini-goals I guess for the second week. Basically I want to maintain my kick ass progress and hopefully hit a perfect week. Also, I would like to finish a full 20 minute workout without stopping and another 10 pounds would be what the kids call "awesome" .
Before I end my post I just want to say three more things.
First, good job to everyone on the first week done. Keep up the great work!
Second, for mostly new comers I think our team really stepped up. I'm proud of us.
Third, I'm sorry for all of those that hope to win at the end, but Team Whatever We're Called Now is gonna kick some ass.

WOW. I had the best week yet playing this game. I never got a chance to take a true day off because I had to use my "day off" points as a safety net when I screwed up. But thankfully, it was no more than once per point group...
I found the hardest/most rewarding part of this round is having my habits lead to other success. Workout done before 6:00am (on workdays, 8:00 on days off) has been a mutha. I am NOT a morning person. But I find it a lot harder to have an excuse not to workout, when its the first thing of the day.
Water is now second nature as is tracking what goes into my face. I am so "in it to win it" this round. I'm not even letting the headaches slow down my tour de force. If your not on my team right now, I'd be pissed that I exist. Thats how hard I'm comin' at this one. Be ready. I know there were a bunch of perfect weekers this time, but that ain't gonna last. Ready thy selves for some snearious resistance from TEAM: TONS O' FUN!
Its on like Mutha F**king Donkey KONG!

Team:Tons o' Fun...week 1 [EDIT!!!!]
[edit] As our team has a few newbies on it, the scoring process was a little misunderstood. So our new team avg is: 816
Ok, considering that we are the only team with only one previous GO!er, I gotta say, I am impressed. I love this game. It gets into you. You really start to analyze the choices you make every minute and how that is going to affect you (and your team)
I've told all my teammates to judge themselves as hard as they would an opponent and I think everyone did a really good job in keeping themselves in check and still kickin' some ass.
TEAM TONS OF FUN: WEEK 1 Score: 781
Adam: 850 -First perfect score ever!
Chris: 802 -New to the game, new to weight watchers
Keith: 822 -Had already given up pop, busting out 5(ish)liters of water daily
Alicia: 790 -Chose a very difficult habit to break, doing great, Kickin' FACE!
I gotta say... GO! team. These are impressive numbers, this game is hard, but the rewards are well worth the efforts.

I had a perfect week. Can already tell this week will be much different. It is hard being on the road and out of my comfort zone and routine. I have 30 seconds to finish this post!!
Thanks to you all, GO! V

Ending weight: 205.6 pounds

Goal: 160 pounds
Points: 826
The Dream Team: Ben - 772, Geoff - 826, Toni - 814, Vanessa - 850.
Team Average: 815.5
I had a fairly solid first week with a perfect score until Tuesday. That's when my bad habit reared it's ugly head and I instantaneously began to reply to a text while driving. I struggled with whether my misstep really warranted a point deduction ("I was only driving in a parking garage, after all, and everyone knows that doesn't really count as driving," the logic went.) before I remembered that, in this game and in life, our integrity with others and with ourselves is all we have. So, I took the bad habit penalty because I earned it.
I also had to take a good habit penalty for Wednesday night because I neglected to write down my thoughts for 20 minutes. It was a stupid mistake and one I could easily excuse by saying, "Hey, I'm on vacation in California." But in reality, I have no excuse. I was simply careless with my commitment to myself, my teammates and the game.
All that said, the prospect of three days on the road heading back to Utah makes me doubt that I'll post a perfect score next week. I'm going to make every effort to attain that score, but the situation may not permit me to do so. We'll just have to see how things shake out. Until then....GO!

End of week one....
This is Christie, just ONE of the fab four!
I was pleasantly surprised when I stepped on the scale this morning to find that I had lost another lb from yesterday, Yay!
Last weeks weight was
172.4
This week
169.8
Total loss 2.6 lbs
I got my bonus pts., and have determined that creating a new scream free home is harder than I thought, I had to use my day off one day and then last night I lost it again, *sigh
So my perfect week was shattered, but Im still happy to report a great score of 838, of course losing 10 for my outburst lastnight......
On to a new week and I am starting to get a hang of the WW thing!!
Best wishes to everyone!!

First week
First week, Toni and Ben are excited to have it done and on with week two. Harder than I thought, Older I get the harder to break habits or routine. Toni plans much better than I and seems to be happier with her food choices. I think, or I am convinced, that planning is the key.
We both want to thank you for the fun.

Swearing Habit - Alicia
So I need everyone's opinion on this to make it fair but when I posted my bad habit (to stop swearing) my main intention was to stop the cussing around my son since he's picking up on everything now. However, I did not explain my reasoning when I posted so now the big question is: is it a modification of my existing bad habit to say that my goal is to stop the swearing in front of my son or is it clasified as changing my habit and therefore will cost me 50 pts.

Weigh Watchers Recipes that actually taste good...
Ok, one of the biggest issues I had when fist starting WW was the fact that I couldn't bring myself to eat a salad with yellow mustard as dressing... I mean really, WTF? I can't support crap like that. However, after diggin' deep, doing some research and going out on a limb, I discovered several FREAKING AWESOME recipes that were not only super low in points, but wicked filling and didn't make ya feel like you were eating some sort of nasty ass diet food. So, here we go.
Bitchin' Onion Bagel Burgers
POINTS: 5
INSTRUCTIONS
4 item(s) Western Bagel® The Alternative Bagel Roasted Onion, Toasted (optional)
1 cup(s) Tomato(es), Sliced
1 cup(s) Lettuce
1 cup(s) Onion(s), Sliced
1 pound(s) raw lean ground beef, Prepare in 4 oz. patties, Season with Onion soup mix
Season and Patty hamburger.
Grill Burgers to desired doneness. (George Foreman Grill is perfect for this)
Place on toasted Bagels (Better results if you only toast the inside of bagel, easier to bite through)
Garnish with Lettuce, Onion and Tomato.
Serve with Cucumber slices.
These burgers are freakin' delicious. The taste is nothing like a Weight Watchers meal, and with only 5 points per burger you can even afford to have a cold Beer with 'em. (Corona Extra 2 points).
**UPDATE**
If you would like to cut the points even further substitute the ground beef for a GardenBurger. 2 pts Per Burger!!
I would have never recommended this before but I have seen the light. GardenBurger can be a pretty tasty alternative.
-----------------
Super Kick-Face Mini Taco Salads. (7 WW PTS)
1 pound(s) cooked chicken fillet, Cubed, cooked
15 oz canned black beans
1 tsp McCormick Taco dry seasoning mix
1 medium onion(s), Chopped
1 medium green pepper(s), chopped
90 item(s) Tostitos Baked! Scoops tortilla chips
1 1/2 cup(s) Kraft Free Shredded Cheddar Cheese (If you can't roll with the fat free, you can use 2% Cheese, but it will add about 2 pts per serving... sometimes its actually worth the hit.)
6 cup(s) lettuce
16 tbsp Kraft Light Done Right Ranch Salad Dressing
2 cup(s) canned yellow corn
7 PTS Per Serving (1 serving = 14 Super Kick-Face Mini Taco Salads.)
Cube and cook chicken on Med/High heat, season as desired . Dice Onion and peppers and add to chicken. Add black beans and taco seasoning. Serve on Baked Tostitos Scoops with shredded lettuce, cheese and fat free ranch dressing (2 tbsp per serving = about 1 small dot per Scoop)
Super filling!
The best part about these Super Kick-Face Mini Taco Salads is that it doesn't taste like Weight Watchers friendly food. You could probably even serve them to unsuspecting non-WW persons without any complaint. You get 14 mini taco salads per serving that look and taste a lot like a super nacho situation, also, feel free to add green chilles or anything else to spice it up. These rule! and take about 15 minutes from start to finish. win/win.
Thats going to have to do it for tonight... gotta get my seven in, before hittin' the 'mill, while doing some shadowboxing early. Perfect day numero dos. FEELS GREAT to back up the trash talk with legit effort.
Get sOme!

Day One, Week One, Round Three
Ok, gotta be brief... have to be to bed soon to get my seven in...
Starting Weight: 247.8
Goal Weight: 205 (in fightin' trim)
I am wicked happy about the turnout of the new flock of GO!ers. This game has the potential to change your life...it has mine.
I have not done as well on the previous two rounds as I could have. I consistently had a reason (not an excuse) for my piss-poor performance for the week. Whether it was a snout surgery or a barrage of skull splitting headaches, it always seemed like something.
Doin' things a little different now. I have identified a lot of my issues and I am attacking them with full force.
My Transformation habit is going to be a six part Declutter/Decrapify of my house (with the help of my opponent and dear wife) Starting with the downstairs, and working my (our) way to the garage.
My bad habit is going to be hard (as it should be), because it almost conflicts with another point earning portion of the game. I will be up and out of bed, getting my workout in before 6:00am on workdays and by 7:00am on days off. I am trying to "can not can't".
I want everyone to be clear that this game is FUN, the trash talk is FUN, the changes are FUN and the weight loss is hella FUN. Also, it is nearly impossible to garner "tone" from text. So, if you get the feeling that someone is being a dick with some trash talking, try to imagine them saying it with a smile on their face with their tongue firmly placed in cheek.
Gotta hit the sack, doesn't look like I'm gonna hit my sleep points tonight... maybe I'll work it as my day off. Work the game... it will work for you.
Peace out everybody and good luck dealing with the feelings of sadness as Team: Foxtrot ...yadda yadda, opens a large can of whoop ass and proceeds to distribute it evenly among the masses.
Remember, boys and girls... If you're gonna be a bear, be a grizzly!
GO!od luck and Get sOme!
.adam.
Oh, yeah... I have a ton of super kick face WW recipes that I will be posting soon, I'm just outta time tonight. So, rely on your team and don't be afraid to ask questions, they are all valid. Also... READ YOUR BOOK! it has all the rules and caveats, anything we have changed or modified has already been discussed, but there is no problem with a little clarification here and there.

Here is my blog. Day 1
I have never blogged before, so this will be a slow start for me. I'm excited to join this competition that I've heard about from my homie Gordo, and have always been curious on how well I can stick to a game plan. Now that I have a team, I am finding a lot more motivation. I have never done weight watchers before, but I'll try to stick to the 44 point day that I'm suppose to. . . .
Starting weight = 330.2
Goal weight = 265 = fighting weight
My good habit like Keith will be to spend 30 minutes of "one on one" time with my 2 year old son Gavin everyday. He's growing so much I need to stop and enjoy my boy. I plan on taking him on a lot of walks and exploring tours (wheather permitting of coarse), and reading books( TV time does not count).
My bad habit that I would like to work on is, keeping the house in cleanly manner. I have a problem with cluttering up the house with work clothes, dirty dishes, and letting my bathroom get to an unhealthy level at times. . .I just assume that the cleaning fairy comes and spiffy's up the place before I get back from work. In reality my poor pregnant crazy wife cleans the house while I'm gone, and it goes unoticed at times. So I will try to help with the cleaning of the house, and If my awesome wife has already cleaned the house. . . I pledge that I will give her a 20 min message of her choice for payment on cleaning the house. . .

Mini Butternut Cheesecakes
Mini Butternut Cheesecakes
 |  | POINTS® value | 2 Servings | 12 Preparation Time | 14 min Cooking Time | 25 min Level of Difficulty | Moderate cakes | These creamy cheesecakes are a fabulous finish to any holiday meal. Feel free to substitute canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) for the squash. |
| Ingredients |
- 2 spray(s) cooking spray
- 2/3 cup(s) graham cracker crumbs, from 4 whole graham cracker sheets
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 4 oz fat-free cream cheese, at room temperature
- 4 oz light cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 1/3 cup(s) cooked cubed butternut squash, pureed (yields 3/4 cup puree)
- 1/3 cup(s) sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, plus extra for garnish
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 large egg(s)
| Instructions |
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Coat 12 small ramekins (or custard cups) with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and butter with a fork. Using a tablespoon measure, scoop approximately 1 tablespoon crumb mixture into each ramekin; press down mixture with your fingers. Bake until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine cream cheeses, squash puree, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg; mix with an electric mixer set on medium-high speed, scraping down sides of the bowl often, until batter is completely smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggs; mix for 1 to 2 minutes more.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup batter into each ramekin; smooth tops lightly with back of a spoon. Bake until lightly set on top, about 20 minutes. Let cool at room temperature and then transfer to refrigerator to cool completely. Sprinkle with cinnamon before serving. Yields 1 per serving.
| Notes |
The best way to make squash puree from a whole squash is to halve an unpeeled squash lengthwise and then scoop out the seeds and membrane. Place the halved squash cut-side down in a baking pan, filled three-quarters full with water. Roast at 400°F until squash is completely fork-tender. Let cool, scoop out flesh and mash it with a potato masher or puree with an electric mixer.
A medium-sized, 2 pound squash will yield approximately 2 cups of squash puree.
Precut butternut squash is widely available in supermarkets and is a great shortcut for time-pressed cooks. Be sure to trim down the pieces to small, even-sized cubes or slices before roasting to allow for better browning. To make squash puree from precut cubes, simply simmer in water or microwave until extremely tender. Drain well and mash using a potato masher or puree with an electric mixer.
Frozen butternut squash puree is also available in some supermarkets. Just be sure to use a brand without added fats or sweeteners.
When you are really in a time crunch, you can use no-sugar-added, pureed squash baby food.

Week 1, Day1
Well, here we go.
Starting weight = 340lbs
Goal weight = 300lbs
Eventaully I would love to get back down to 250lbs or even less, but we'll call this the first step.
I'm excited to start GO!, a little apprehensive too. It's going to be tough, but I'm confident that it will all be worth it.
My new good thing is going to be that I spend at least 30 minutes of undivided time with my boy. I'm looking forward to stacking blocks and then picking them up after he Godzillas them.
My Bad thing that I am getting rid of is being late to work. I love the fact that my boss is forgiving. But showing up at 10 -ish, is getting to even me.
Alicia and I are both doing the WW thing. It already sucks. But I'll live.
Go! team Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo, lets kick some ass!

Week 1 - Stacy
Current weight - 266.4
Goal weight - To not be so damn fat
Well, my week of glutenous eating finally caught up with me. Tuesday I weighed in @ 260.4 and I was excited I hadn't gained anything, then I stepped on the scale this morning.....Anyway I'm ready to play (win) The Fab Four Girls and I are going to whip some serious A.
My good habit is cleaning and organizing my house. Adam and I are sharing this habit, so we don't feel so overwhelmed.
My bad habit is not eating after 8:30 p.m. I will have a bowl of popcorn or a Fruit Bar after I put the kids to bed and that's it.
This game is hard. Getting healthy is hard, if it was easy everyone would do it.
One last thing, if you don't want to receive an email whenever someone posts something, just let me know and I can take you off the list.
Hope you have a good week. GO!

I'm to ashamed to post my weight so I'll just say that at the end of this I'm hoping to be 20 lbs lighter.
My good thing to work towards is doing a full load of laundry a day. This includes drying and putting away.
My bad thing to stop is swearing. My son is getting to the age he's picking up on everything so this will be good for me.
The lack of caffeine is kicking my butt and I think I'm going to have to give in to coffee eventually. I'll keep working on that.

What a difference a day (off) makes!
Starting weight: 212 pounds
Goal: 160 pounds
Good habit: Spend at least 20 minutes each day writing in a journal of some form. I want to gather my thoughts at the end of the day in one place, document my successes and failures and my goals for the week, month, year. Also, I write a lot of cool, interesting and bizarre stories each day and it would be nice to catalog the experiences somewhere.
Bad habit: No sending texts or tweets or updating my Facebook status while driving. As clarification, I will still read messages that are sent to me depending on the situation, but I won't send any. In an effort to eliminate even the reading of messages while driving, I have downloaded the free version of drivesafe.ly (http://www.drivesafe.ly/) for my BlackBerry, which reads your texts and e-mails aloud while you are driving. I'll let you know how well it works.
And now for an example of what even one day of going hog wild can do to me:
Vanessa and I decided to play a mini-version of GO! during the break. I ended the nine-week GO! round at 208 pounds and finished the nine-day mini-version at 203.5 pounds when I weighed in Wednesday morning. Not too shabby, considering I weighed a little over 231 pounds 10 weeks ago.
Then, I decided to take Wednesday off before starting this new round today. And boy did I take a day off. It started at lunch when I ate a scrumptious Reuben sandwich piled high with thick cuts of corned beef and melted cheese and slathered with Russian dressing. Oh, and I had a cinnamon cranberry cookie and a chocolate chip cookie. So good. Then I had another chocolate chip cookie during an open house at work.
The gluttony didn't stop there. I nixed the idea of exercise entirely and for dinner I ate....wait for it...a whole large deep-dish pepperoni and black olive pizza from Domino's. (It was cheaper than ordering a medium, the Domino's guy told me.) I haven't done that in years and I don't think I should ever, EVER, do it again.
This morning I fully understood why. One day after weighing in at 203.5 pounds, I tipped the scale this morning to 212 pounds. SERIOUSLY!?! I GAINED 8.5 POUNDS IN ONE DAY!!!!
It's true kids. When I don't treat myself right, my body responds accordingly and quickly. So guess what...I'm back on track and ready to stomp some serious booty.
LET'S GET IT ON! GO!

Week #1 *Kirby*
Starting weight ~ 148.6
Goal weight ~ 135ish
Bad Habit: I decided yesterday as I was driving to pick Kason up from my moms house that I am going to join the NO TEXTING WHILE DRIVING GROUP! I didnt think that I really did it but I cought myself doing it twice yesterday.
Good Habit: I am going to do three days of spring cleaning and three days of doing kind stuff for people. The spring cleaning is going to be cleaning my windows inside and out, cleaning out cupboards and drawers, and im throwing my bathrooms into the list I will clean both bathrooms once a week (im SO bad at getting to them because i hate to do it so much!).
I am also going to be doing a fitness goal. I will be doing three hours of exercising a week plus my 20 minutes a 6 days a week.
Two side goals for myself:
1~ Lose one pound a week
2~ Dont stop playing the game inbetween games. I was down to 144.2 and I stopped counting points and had four diet cokes and a 52oz diet dr pepper.
GO!

The first day of the rest of our lives!!
woohoo!!!
I have to admit I was very undecided as to whether to play the game again, I have been feeling so overwhelmed lately, as a mother, as a wife, as a daughter, and as a friend, it seems as though everyone pulls in different directions and I struggle to know which way to stretch!
After finishing my hcg round, I lost a total of 14 lbs. I was hoping for more, especially taking into consideration how difficult it was but nevertheless it is what it is.
Upon ending that "diet", I now realize that I was lost because I didn't have a plan, I had no idea what to do next, I not only want to keep OFF the 14 lbs but also lose about 30 more, I don't know why I was hesitant about WW, I guess I just didn't know enough about it and was being stubborn.
I know with all of my heart that this weight loss journey is NOT a diet, not a 30 day starve, not the latest fad, its a change in lifestyle.
My bff Cindy is thin, she eats what she wants and has maintained a very healty weight for over 6 years, her mom is VERY thin, I often feel that she has some sort of advantage because her genetics are better suited for a "thinner" build. However, we are what we are and my entire family is overweight, Ive always been "the smallest one" and somehow In my mind I guess I took pride in that but one day it hit me that I wasn't happy with what I saw in pictures, even in the mirror I didn't mind so much but certain pictures, I thought who in the hell is that??? It couldn't possibly be ME?????
I am doing WW, got some great tips & advice and get 23 pts!!! (actually 24 but I prefer odd numbers so I rounded down, Thanks Kirb!)
So here I am, beginning round 2 with some awesome people! Some I know well, some I am getting to know, and some Ive never met! I am grateful for the knowledge that has been shared, the questions that have been answered, and the encouragement that has been given!
My current weight as of this morning was
172.4
My goal is
*141* ( I maintained that weight for years )
My bad habit that I am quitting is
TEXTING while driving.....
I know some others are doing the same and that is great, its a great goal, especially since I have a brand new driver in the house, I want to be a good example!!
Oprah has a campaign going for everyone to sign a pledge that their car will be a "no phone zone"
I am a fan of Oprah but thought, "i don't do it that often" so I wasn't worried.
However just last week while traveling, (&texting) I was honked at because I had wandered over into the next lane, I cant tell you how stupid I felt.
I had my kids in the car for heaven's sake!!!
So dumb and I will not do it again, wont check fb, wont read texts or emails nothing!!!
My new habit is sort of quitting a bad habit but also starting a new way of doing things....
I have come to realize that somewhere along the way in my motherhood journey,
I became a screamer!
I really had no idea, but it has been brought to my attention, and Yes I know...
I have 4 kids,
two of them have special needs,
one a 16 yr old, and an almost 2 yr old.
Needless to say, my buttons get pushed, and pushed some more.
I dont want to scream at them anymore, I also know that I do control it somewhat when other adults are around, this makes me feel terrible.
How unfair that I, (the mom) can scream at the four beautiful children that "I" brought into this world?
The youngest three don't even talk to be able to defend themselves,
So,
from this day forward I will not raise my voice to them unless the house is on fire, Savanah is running into the street, or if there is poop all over the walls and I need my otherwise occupied hubby to come and Help me NOW!!!!
I am going to try whispering to them and see if that gets their attention, afterall I believe they have learned to tune out my yelling............
poor kids!
Good luck to everyone,
We (The Fab Four) are going to kick some hiney!!!
Hugs to all,
Christie =)

I also know this is a healthier way to eat. I weaned myself from splenda in the coffee....and creamer watered down yesterday...today...coffee black...could only do half a cup...not bad...maybe the caffeine addiction will be attacked as well!!

Goal - 145
I am pledging a fitness goal instead of weight loss to earn my 2% bonus points. I plan to run the Neola half marathon on the July 4th weekend. To accomplish this I commit to 3 hours of training per week. This training is in addition to my 20 minutes of exercise 6 days a week.
For my bad habit - I will be giving up texting while driving. This is really hard! I have also given this up for Lent, but have been failing miserably. Hopefully the added incentive of losing points will motivate me in a way that I haven't been able to commit to The Man Upstairs! I do want to point out that in the past two rounds I have given up diet coke and swearing. These are two habit that, so far, I haven't gone back to. So success is imminent!!!
For my good habit - I will spend 20 minutes a day reading for pleasure or blogging. Both things I really enjoy and are stress relieving for me. But, always the first things to go when I get busy or stressed.
What a cutie!
No more of these for a while....
No more of these for a while....
Be prepared to play, but be prepared to lose. I am prepared to win! win! win! GO! V
