We are doing a local version of BL but no one gets booted off (luckily). We are groups of 2 and it's based on % of weigh lost.

I've never had a quesadilla, so I have no idea how they are actually made. I just take a tortilla, cut it in half. Put sour cream, salsa, veggies, chicken and low fat cheese on half. Top all that with the other half and put it in the oven to melt the cheese.
 
Did a walk/jog in the rain (well heavy mist) with my brown BL partner Jeannie.
I tell ya, she can be killer. When she does something, she jumps in with both feet..can be fun and can be not so fun...lol.

Tonight is cardio, so this will be 3 days in a row with good workouts.
Scales up one but I did have a cheat yesterday and I'm good with it. I'll work that off tonight.

Going to REALLY work toward eating 100% clean this week. I want to make a good impression on the scale come Sunday for BL weigh in.

Feels good to finally feel positive.

Oh, family having potato salad for supper tonight....ugh, I love potato salad. BUT I won't have any..no carbs for supper!
 
Great work with the exercise! I bet you are feeling loads better from it too! Great work and keep it up!!! I'll be so proud if you resist that potato salad!!!
 
Well, I didn't resist the potato salad..but didn't have much.
I have been doing great this week..cardio was great, even hit the ball around with Danny and the kids before cardio which was soooo fun!! Wed. was my "active rest" day, so I just went for a quick walk to the com. center and back. This morning was Zumba, enjoyed it more the second time. Then the "brown team" went for our walk around the loop (3km loop we walk/jog) after Zumba.
Doing my best to eat clean, no major slip ups..no chips, no junk of any kind, no left over ice cream cake.....and I DO feel good!!
Can't wait for weigh in on Sunday for BL and Monday for SFL..super excited!!
Olivia has ANOTHER birthday this Sat...is this # 6? Sheesh!! Then in 2wks another one and then the week after hers...not to mention Easter!!!!!! Ah, have I got my work cut out for me?!!
Off topic but finally started painting my youngests room, got a nice rainbow painted on her wall, so fun. Can't wait to finish it.
How do we upload photos or make an album?
 
Yesterday I just did my 30 min. on the treadmill and had a mini cheat. I took myf salad with me and bought a chicken breast but the kids had chicken balls and it was hard to resist..had about 3....and some veggie chips last night, that were soooooooo yummy. Only up 0.4 this morning, which I knew I would be, so was glad it was minimal.

Birthday party this afternoon, was thinking of dropping Liv off and going for a walk, depends on if she "needs" me...I tend to stay to most parties. No cake for me though.

There's a bake sale today. My Mom made lemon pie, coconut cream pie, molasses cookies and cherry balls......can you say YUMMMMY!! Have to turn it ALL down. THAT's going to be hard.

Weigh in for BL is tomorrow. Going to do well there I think, because I was up last Sunday. Had breakfast, snack and water........
 
There's no way i could resist all that cake if i had to hang around all day. Take along some fortifying healthy alternatives to help you.

Good luck!!

btw I tried to make a coconut cream pie last year. It wasn't very good. I got the recipe off the net. Its not an australian regular like it is over there but a local cafe makes a really nice version without pastry. I just don't know how it should be made. My version tasted like coconut custard i think. And I can't imagine the cafe version with a pastry base on it. So i'm really confused. I wanted to end up with something like what the cafe made. Any ideas. YOu can pm so as not to trigger anyone. If its not too much trouble. There may come a day in the future when i would want to make one.
 
Well, I ended up going to Frenchy's shopping so no cake or chips temptation.
As for the pie, I don't make pies, so I have no idea how to make it. My Mom did and I think it's just a pkg. from the store she cooks up and puts on a crust.
 
Actually I've been doing quite well for me.

I finally made it past the dreaded 209 and going back up repeatedly, actually last BL weigh in I was 207.4lbs...I did however go back up over Easter..not due to candy so much as eating ham and potato salad. I did have 2 sugar cookies Easter day and an Easter cream egg the day before but that's it.

I'm up still but had a crappy day yesterday and didn't exercise......

Been feeling pretty good. Getting a lot of jogging and walking in. We've been doing jog one pole, walk one pole and repeat for 7km.

Been meaning to get back on here but it's been SO busy!

Monday I took Mom on errands, Tues. Danny and I ran errands, today was Madi's class trip that I chaperoned, tomorrow is Zumba and a bank appt. So far Fri. is free but Olivia has another birthday party this Sat. I am on the go WAY to much..but I do enjoy most of it!!
 
Well, that busy week is over! Olivia decided she didn't want to go to the birthday party, but we're still on the go today...so gonna exercise this morning on the treadmill!

I have NO idea where I am weight wise...our scales have been so irratic..it's insane! Weigh in for BL is tomorrow morning..so I'll see on someone elses..and then weigh in for SFL is Tues.

Eating is ON..feels good to not give in to cravings.
 
New battery seems to be working in the scale. No more "err" or erractic weights.
This morning it showed 205.4lbs and I am HAPPY about it..I kept hitting 209 and going back to 212...down to 209 and back to 215...finally I have past it and stayed away from it.
I didn't get a big number at this weeks weigh in (1.4lbs, last week was 5lbs) but this week I'm planning on big numbers...that 2 has got to GO!!

Excited to go to SFL for my weigh in, didn't make it last week, so my last weight down there was 210 something, it's gonna surprise her!!

Patiently waiting for my clothes to fit better...I've lost 25lbs since last Nov. and nothing has changed with my clothes....blah!

My partner/niece..doing the BL is setting up a "fitness test" at our ballfields (like Paul Plakas does on X-weighted) today, looking forward to that!
 
Amandaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW you lost a lost a lot!!!!!!
thats fantastic!!! i m so proud of you!!
and to think u almost gave up!!!

big congrats to you!!!!!!! :party:

Keep it up!!!
 
Thanks Justina..I have all you wonderful people here to thank!
You don't realize how your words make a difference.
I am so glad I didn't give up and that you all didn't let me give up!!

I did the fitness test..finished at 7min. 4 sec. It was a lot..phew!
We had to run the outfield of the ballfield (wasn't to the fence), then step thru 10 tires x 4 times, step up a step holding a 25lb weight x 20, then to a mat and lay down and then back up x 10, flip a tire x 5, jump over a rope x 20, carry 126lbs of weights to a wheel barrow (several trips some were 25, some 10, some 5), then push the wheel barrow from 3rd base to home plate..it was a workout and a half.
Some finished at 5.25, some 8..so it varied a lot.
Can't wait to try and beat my time in July!!
Had quite a sluggish day, Sundays are the worst for me. Worked on sorting Olivia's b-day stuff, still not done!
Tomorrow running club starts at the school 2-3pm, I need it. Hopefully, I can handle it, it's been a while.
That gives me running club on Mondays, cardio on Tues. and zumba on Thurs. with Wed. as an off day, I only have to find something for Fri, Sat. and Sun.!!
I can see that one...so close!!!
 
Up one lb today but not too bad considering I had WAY too many carbs for dinner and...had a cheat I planned on saving for next week (a kitkat chunky).

This afternoon is running club (1hr) so hopefully I can run that off!
 
..feeling pretty crappy right now.
Issues with "friends"...just so tired of the drama. We broke off a friendship with a guy and thought, we were still friends with the mutual friends we had but turns out they prefer the company of the two faced people who sh*t all over them, rather than us, who have done nothing but go out of our way to be friends.
It hurts, to just be ignored as if we don't exist when we thought we were friends.
I just want to be done with everyone but everything hurts me SO much, I'm overly sensitive and that makes it worse..everyones just "don't let it bother you"...as if I can.
Sorry for the rant...just feeling hurt and disappointed.
All I really wanted was a good friend and it turns out after almost 35 yrs.....it can't be done!
 
I don't know why people do that!! Its like they don't want to have decent people they can count on to be around. Maybe its the fact that everyone else is insensitive while you are just the right amount on sensitive :) I hope you feel better Amanda!
 
hey lovely - this could be hard - are they the same people from before?
big hugs - hope you feel better soon :grouphug:
 
Yes, same people as before.
The biggest part with him is..he stopped in said he wanted to be friends like before, so for the umpteenth time, we said yes. Felt good about it. Two weeks later he comes back and acts like a jerk, says he won't be drinking with us, he's changed..etc. Acted like a "I"m better than you hicks back the road" (his girlfriend hates him being around us and drinking with us)..so we ended it.

Him and 2 of our mutual friends all went 4 wheeling, he drank. We were hurt...we just wanted to be friends like before. What they did last weekend is all Danny was asking for...so it's like it's o.k. to do it just not with us........
It probably sounds confusing but it's been a lot of back and forth...just REALLY hurt to be left out last weekend.
