January 21 Tammy's 10Well I can't say a lot today. I ate o.k. and I am feeling yucky. My head is congested so I did not workout. Off to take a bath and hopefully the steam will help my big head clear up. Oh I did lose a pound.....Don't know how people can lose more than 2 pounds in a week. I guess that we need a personal trainer. HINT! HINT! January 20 Melissa Day 9Tammy came over for mommy and me yoga. I used to be good at yoga pre-baby. It's hard doing it with extra fat layers. Then me and my dog walked for 1mile outside because it was too cold for Mason. We all went to dinner and had yummy salads so I did good with my calories today. Even had some calories left over for a little desert. I can't deprive myself or I want it more so I had cinnamon bites from McDonald's and they were YUMMY. But now I feel gross because I ate them when I was full of yummy salad. I will work on my hunger cues and eat only when I'm hungry, even if it's dessert. Day 9Today we have been busy....We went to church :o) Then Cole and I went to Melissa and Mason's house (and Randy too)...WE did Mommy and Me Yoga. She did some ab exercises that oh my goodness hurt! I am not very good at Yoga..... I have no balance what so ever! But you all should have seen Melissa go! We all went out to eat at B.J. and saw Ben Roethlisberger (the Steeler's quarterback). Did o.k. with the dinner. I had a Pepsi because of a headache I had. But I did have a salad and only ate half of it although I did eat the fried onions that were on the top of it. :o) All and all I think I did good. January 19 Melissa Day 8Well Yuck. After all of my hard work I only lost .8lbs... but I'm staying positive and looking forward to next Saturday's weigh in when I will lose 2lbs. because all of the muscle I've built up will be burning more calories. We made a video clip today of us exercising and I can't believe how huge I look. I guess I really don't realize how overweigt I am because I'm not standing in front of a mirror all day long. In fact, I usually avoid mirrors all together. So, today has been rough. Plus, me and my husband got in a fight over I don't even remember and I tried to have chocolate make it better. Not so. All of this eating right and exercising would be better if I felt better about myself instead of feeling like a cow. I'll keep trying. Day 8 TammyFreezing!!!!! Oh Boy it was cold outside! We invited Mason and Melissa to come over and do a workout DVD with us. I did real good with my food intake (Only because we did not go out to eat) Tomorrow we are going out to eat with Melissa and her family.....wish us luck! I think we will do good since I will be watching her and she will be watching me :o) It is a win win situation. January 18 Day 7Double Oops! I did not workout today! I spent my day taking a nap with Coley Moley and also going shopping with Craig. We did go out to eat and I ate 1/4 of what was on my plate. I also requested a potato instead of french fries. I had a dab of butter but mostly ketchup on it. We did order Fried Mushrooms....I had a couple. I did good for the rest of the day ;o) Tomorrow will be better I will workout with my two favorite people.....Melissa and Leslie. Melissa Day 7OOPS... Sonic Java Chillers are 540 calories. Unfortunately, I found that out when I checked the website AFTER I had sucked it down. Live and learn. My body still hurts so I only walked 1 mile with my dog today. At least I got my big butt off the couch. Actually, I've been very busy packing and moving boxes.... that counts as activity right?! Tomorrow is weigh in day and I am being positive that the scale will move down. :) Melissa Day 6Thanks to Tammy I sweated today! She is amazing with how she motivates me and I am very blessed to have her as a friend. I would have let my tired old body and the cold snap outside keep my bootie on the couch but instead we busted out the video workout. I had chinese food for lunch but made good choices so it was low calorie. I love being able to eat out when the right foods are chosen. I can still stay within my calories AND enjoy not cooking! Only one more day until the weigh in and I'm looking forward to it. January 17 Day 6Alright my dear Melissa look at our before pictures that should be our motivation. I have already seen a change in you :o) You are more motivated because of the challenge (with the web and with yourself) and you are eating much better :o) You should be very proud of yourself for making these changing..... This is also going to help with your overall acheivement! So stop drizzling out on yourself! And give yourself more credit! Well it was freezing today! Melissa came over and worked out with Cole and me.. Melissa kicked some bootie! She did 3 miles with Leslie Sansone! I had to build myself up to 3 miles! I did good with eating at home....although I went out with Craig for lunch and did not do so good. I really need to work on that bad habit! January 16 Melissa Day 5Well BLAH!!! Like Tammy said, it's crummy outside. Plus, I am VERY VERY sore from weeding and weights... so..... both good excuses not to do very much activity. I feel guilty becuase I told Tammy I would do my 50min video but I wussed out and only did 15min of yoga stretches. So I let her and myself down. I've done good eating though... made homemade chili for 100cal. Tomorrow is supposed to be cold too.. but I WILL do a video either with Tammy or on my own. I really hope this week of good eating and exercising pays off so that I lose some pounds and stay motivated because my motivation is definitely dwindling..... Tammy's Day 5Well today was crummy outside....so there was no chance for us to do our walking especially with the boys. Cole is still running a low grade fever so I have been giving him major Mama time. (Meaning holding him while he sleeps) I ate pretty good and did a one mile workout (my goal was 3 miles). January 15 Day 4Today was a great day! First of all it was in the 60's and sunny :o) Great workout weather. I worked out with one of Leslie Sansone's videos. Then I went and walked with Melissa. My hubby was having a sugar craving and since I threw all the cookies out....he was left with nothing. So I made Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies tonight. One cookie has 66 calories with 3 grams of fat. Craig loved them. Off to help out with Cole...he is running a low grade fever. :o( Melissa Day 4My crowning achievement today was telling my husband NO to getting burgers from a restaraunt and cooking the turkey burgers I had planned instead, even though it was going to be late when we ate. That was HUGE for me!! After yesterday's lunch fiasco, I am very proud that I stuck to the menu I had planned. I only got 4hrs of sleep last night because my body hurts from exercising... I'm still sore from Sunday's gym experience. I did 2hrs of weeding today, which I count as a workout in itself! January 14 Melissa Day 3Not too good with the eating today either. I had lunch with my husband too. We had pizza.. my favorite! Instead of stopping at 2 slices, I had 4. Then, feeling sorry for myself I ate a 250 calorie cookie after dinner. Emotional and mindless eating are my pitfalls. Today's calorie total... 2250. Tomorrow is a new day! Day 3Goodness gracious! I am figuring that I am not that strong when it comes to eating out :o( I shared a slice of coconut cream pie with my husband. At least I shared a slice instead of eating the whole thing right!! I started back exercising with Melissa today. We walked 1.5 miles today. I also did a little workout with the elliptical. NOw I am off to bed. I know it is 8:00 but I am tired! January 13 Tammy Day 2Well it is my second day and I am feeling better than yesterday! I did a one mile workout DVD. I should have done more when Cole went to bed....(I was soooo exhausted though! Cole was having some stomach issues and cried for over 30 minutes. Nothing could console him except for Craig and I took turns holding him while he slept. I sure hope he sleeps through the night tonight :o) Tomorrow will be a better day! I am going walking with Melissa and will do my 2 mile workout video at home! Also this week I am going to drink more water and stay away from the snack foods! Melissa Day 2My motivation is still here.. yesterday my son was up late so I had extra calories. I made a poor late night choice of a bowl of mini wheats (300 cals.) instead of a piece of fruit. I've done great today though... hopefully Mason goes to bed before my stomach growls! My husband and I went to the YMCA to work out today. I haven't been in 2 MONTHS! Partially because I don't like to put Maon iin the day care. But I sucked it up and lifted weights. It felt good.. but my body was that shaky weak feeling you get when you're tired after lifting. Despite that, we took the dog for a 1mile walk. I also bought a new workout video at WalMart that has 10min "Fat-Blasting" workouts. I'm excited to try it out. Hopefully my knees don't hurt from the dancing. They aren't used to all of this extra weight so it makes it hard to do aerobic things. Tammy and I will walk tomorrow and I'm looking forward to that because we have fun together! January 12 Tammy's First day..... :o)Well this is our first day of the game! I wish I could say that I was excited but to be honest with you....well feeling kind of blah! Thank goodness I had my motivators (Craig and Melissa) standing behind me pushing me to workout! It actually felt great afterwards...I did a workout video for two miles and Cole and I walked with Melissa and Mason today. Hopefully tomorrow I can have my game face on instead of my lazy I want to stay in bed face :o) It will be hard especially since we have church tomorrow! (oh how I love my afternoon Sunday naps!) Wish me luck! Melissa's Day 1Woo hooo!!! Here we go! I'm SO excited to be a part of this competition becuase it already has motivated me to be on the path to better health. I ate within my calories today and walked fro 45mins even though I was tired and my back hurt. I am excited to be doing this with my best mommy friend Tammy becuase she really helps me stay on track. Right now I just finished dinner and I am craving the desert out of habit. But, all I am going to have is a Dove chocolate "sweet treat". It is small but dark chocolate and I suck on it to make it last longer. YUM! The full length picture of me is in my sports bra just like in the BIGGEST LOSER.... very SCARY and hard to do. But if those couples can weigh themselves on national TV in their sports bra then so can I! |
