Today’s weigh-in is a full-blown miracle. Somehow, I lost 3.1 pounds and made it back into the 180s! As I mentioned, I did fairly great on the exercise front, but food-wise, I lost my mind. This is hard to admit, but over the course of Saturday alone, I ate an entire medium deep dish, extra pepperoni (with banana peppers and grated parmesan cheese) Domino’s pizza by myself. Minus one slice that my dad snatched. It was extremely delicious and I didn’t eat it all at once (I probably could have, but made it two meals and a snack), but still! When you add that to the several Kit-Kats and at least eight peanut butter cups I ate, it adds up! <insert shocked gasp here>
I did better on Monday, though. I put a freeze on my chocolate-fest (I was out anyway) and we went to Red Lobster for lunch. I had the broiled tilapia (yum) with rice and broccoli and a garden salad with red wine vinaigrette on the side. I did have two cheddar-bay biscuits though which were eight points just by themselves.
I guess the combo of all of the exercise and then doing okay on Monday food-wise balanced everything out. I was lucky! Of course, this could just be a testament to just how much more I ate last week!
So far so good today, too. I’ve tracked everything so far and I brought a couple of slices of whole wheat bread, a babybel light cheese, a snack slice of WW cheddar cheese, and a whole bunch of fresh fruit for dinner.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD – The Biggest Loser was great tonight. It’s really hard to root for anyone in particular when you like almost all of the teams! It was hard to see anyone fall below that yellow line. It’s terrible to say, but I think that my least favorite person right now is Tara. I’ve just felt really sorry for Laura – Tara heaps so much pressure on her. Kristin’s excitement at getting out of the 300′s reminded me of my own excitement. To most of the world, the usual response would be “she’s excited to weigh 289 pounds”?!? But for someone who has weighed more than that, I remember that excitement. You feel positively skinny! It’s all relative. I’m really happy for her.
I’ve also seen those TRX trainers like what Bob used before, but I am now obsessed with getting one. They look so awesome!
By the way, we watched “The Secret Life of Bees” and “City of Ember” last night and I loved both of them! I would recommend checking them out if you haven’t already. I’m not a huge fan of Dakota Fanning, but thought she did a great job in “Bees.”
Congrats on the nice loss, Kit-Kats’s and all!!!

Well done on the loss! I hope to see both those movies soon!
Good job on the loss!! It’s amazing how we can go off the wagon and have it run over us and still find a loss on the scale. As far as TBL, I agree this season is so much better than those Jackals they had on last season. I also agree Tara is really starting to get on my nerves, I’m getting sick of hearing how she’s ‘carrying’ the team. I’m not overly fond of Aubry and Mandi either. Finally, OMG these are the weepiest contestants EVER on this show. Every time I turn around someone is crying!!
It’s always nice to see a big loss when we were scared to step on the scale to begin with, isn’t it? Nice job!!

Great WI!!! So cool when you realize you CAN eat what you want (within reason of course!) and stay active and healthy.
I agree with you on Tara – she’s pretty full of herself. I like Kristin myslf the most, but I bet these guys start realizing soon that whenever they get a chance, they better vote off whoever is the biggest threat. It’s a game after all.
Mandi is also getting on my nerves…go home if that’s what you want to do!

Great job on your loss! Maybe you were in a bit of a “starvation-mode” and your bod needed to know it was okay to use up some fat stores.
I’m surprised to hear you feel sorry for Laura on BL and you thought Tara was putting a lot of pressure on her. I was watching and thinking that Tara was being really patient and showing a lot of class by not getting outright mad at Laura. It always fascinates me when two people see the same thing so differently.
I can’t pick anyone to root for either. I want them all to stay as long as possible. I am still heartbroken over Daniel getting booted though.

Way to go on the lose!!! I’m not sure who I’m rooting for on the biggest loser yet, I like them all this season. I definitely like a season like this one over last season. I prefer everyone showing the love lol. As for Tara, I don’t like that’s she’s a bit two faced with Laura. I feel like Laura works just as hard as she does. I loved seeing Kristin get below 300 too, it did bring back memories for sure *smile*.

Great job losing weight. I love movies, I will have to check them out.
This is possibly one of the better articles I have stumbled across on this subject. I would like to know if you have you considered the opposite side of the topic of gardening? To be candid, I think a good case could be made either way, but let me know if you have found more sites on the Web to verify what you are proposing.
