Big Mac's Lifestyle Change

Intervention is awesome!!! I love watching that show. Good thing a nice healthy dinner comes along with it!!!
 
Very true, I'm always up for a good healthy meal. Well as of a couple months ago anyways :). They should do intervention for overweight people. In all honesty I believe food can be just as addictive/dangerous to your health as many drugs. Especially with such simple accessability.
 
Good night at the gym. Busted out 30min on the elliptical. 5-5min HIIT, 5min cool-down.

Core workout:

Dead-lifts 3x8
Random core workouts 3x8, 3x20, 3x30

Did lower abs with an exercise ball for my ab workout challenge, 3x20.
 
Feeling good but tired this morning. Really want to drop 3 lbs this week, we'll see what happens.

Breakfast: 10oz milk, 2 strawberries, 2 eggs, whole wheat english muffin (1/2) w/ PB
AM Snack: South Beach Diet Bar (cinnamon raisin)
Lunch: Grilled chicken salad, lite balsamic dressing

Thats the plan so far! Accompanied of course by lots of water.

I COMPLETELY agree! I've often thought if I could be "locked up" somewhere for a month or two, I could kick my eating deamon! :reddevil:
I LOVE Intervention too... I DVR it so I can watch it when I have time. I have like 8 episodes backed up right now lol (not much time to watch TV). I should start doing a little extra cardio and making a plan to watch a little TV at the same time each night...
Anyway, enough about me... looks like you're doing great! Did we get you "officially" started for the Vegas Challenge?
 
They're soooooooo good sensa. I limit portion size cause I'm watching my sugar intake, but they do help the metabolism.

Palua! Welcome back stranger :). Last night's Intervention was great, that guy drank like 4 beers in under 2min. And yes, as far as I know I'm officially started. Didn't sign a contract or anything, but I did weigh-in at 309 Saturday. I've been keeping up with my points, as much as I hate training abs every day... I'm doing it. Kinda lonely on the solo team, but thats ok. I guess I'll withdrawl myself from the prize stuff. No way I can accumulate as many points as 4 people. But I'm still ultra competative, so you better bring your A game! :hurray:
 
thanks....now I have strawberries on the brain lol...well I suppose out of all the things I could be wanting right now...strawberries are not so bad lol

I actually watched that one last night! I was married to an alcoholic for 11 years so that one was a very familiar story to me!

We just got a new girl who wants to join the challenge... You two could just get double points since there would only be two of you... then if other people joined, we would just adjust the points as we went along... no fun playing if you can't go for the prizes too!

AND my friend JUST joined, SO I Think we are GOING to throw her on YOUR TEAM, and I heard WHISPERS of 2 other PEOPLE who want to HOP on too...SO it would BE PERFECT for your TEAM!!! CheeeeooooWW!!! COMPETITION baby!!! :)

AND it's CRAZY that YOU guys KEEP talking about INTERVENTION, cause UNFORTUNATELY I have a FRIEND who IS IN DESPERATE need of INTERVENTION,....but its IN GOD's HANDS now....:newangel:
 
Paula, I'm sorry that must have been very difficult. As far as getting a teammate goes, that would be great! Oh, and I'll totally bring it! (<-- sensa) That sounds super chearleady. (is that a word?)

Big John, you keep pushing as hard as you can. I'll just push twice as hard. :)

Alta, 3lbs would be great! Really want to drop some poundage for my first week on the challenge. Your friend is a welcome edition to my team. We'll need to brainstorm on a new team name. Do hawks kill both owls and bunnies? :reddevil: Muahhahahahha.

I hear ya Alta, my sister really needs an intervention. The problem is, for it to work they gotta realize they're at rock bottom. She doesn't realize shes there yet.

I feel YA on that TOO......its TOUGH cause ROCK bottom....SOMETIMES....could just be JAIL or DEATH.....she wavers....from "I want REHAB" to leaving to the STREETS......

...SO like YOU said....THEY have to hit rock bottom.....
 
My cousins ther too... all methed up and shit. She doesnt realize that doing it 3 times a day or more and staying up for 2 days straight then sleeping for 2 days straight is not very good for you. Worst thing is... she's 6 days older than me and I'm the only one in the family that knows. How do you deal with something like that? I feel like if I don't tell someone and she gets hurt that I will be fully responsible for it.

YOU CAN"T think that....MY FRIEND too...same DRUG....you CAN only HELP SOMEONE who wants HELP!!! :)

...you are a good friend for worrying....but it is EMOTIONALLY consuming......:(
 
Yeah, its a tough situation. I would say just make sure you aren't enabling him/her.

So, I was just thinking, when it comes to november I'm gonna have a lot of random convos in my journal, heh.
 
Heh, those will be quite hillarious too. I'm sure those who don't go are gonna miss out on SOOOOOOO many inside jokes.
