Cheeseburger?!?!

I don't want to HAVE to eat a cheeseburger. I would like to eat a cheeseburger, but I would really rather wait a bit longer in the weightloss process. But if I lose the weigh-in tomorrow to one of my co-workers I will have to eat a cheeseburger. At least I think I will. That was the last thing we talked about the "loser" having to do.

We have been trash-talking this past week and so tomorrow is the big day to find out who lost the most weight % and who has to suffer through the humiliating task of eating a cheeseburger.

Please God don't let me be the one to eat the cheeseburger.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Until next time,

Family Photos

A friend of ours, Dylan, took some pictures of us together back in October. These are my favorites. What do you think?

Until next time,

Girl Scouts and Firemen

Megan's Girl Scout troop had a field trip to a local fire station. She had fun and the kids had a lot of "what if" questions.

I have lost track of how many fire station field trips I have been on. But this one had some good looking firemen so it wasn't so bad.

And get ready because it is almost time for Girl Scout cookies. Just a heads-up.

Until next time,

Sisterly Love

"Sam took the fin off my Flounder. And she is holding my Ariel in her dirty little filthy hands."

Oh the love between these two sisters.

Weigh-In #3

Today was weigh-in #3 of the Biggest Loser. I was not very confident going into it because I didn't feel like I had lost any weight. Boy was I surprised! I lost about 3.5 pounds. Which put me in 1st place for the week. Yep I am the Biggest Loser of the week. Woo Hoo!!!

So now I am even more inspired to work even harder. I have lost a total of almost 12 pounds in 3 weeks. I am almost at 5% weight loss. That is so much better than I was expecting.

Here's to a good week and even more weight loss!!

Until next time,

Yummy!!!!

Okay, you may all know by now (or maybe you don't) that I don't like to cook. Seriously, it isn't really my thing. I have been focusing on trying to enjoy it more since that is going to make a big difference in my lifestyle change and eating habits. And I am sure that you don't really consider using the blender "cooking". But I have found one of my new favorite things. And because I am feeling generous I am going to share.

Strawberry Banana Smoothie

1 banana
1 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup fat free vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup low fat vanilla soy milk
1 packet splenda
1/8 tsp (or a little more) vanilla extract
1 cup ice cubes

Blend and ENJOY!!!!!

So good!! In fact that is what I am enjoying right now!!

Until next time,

Weigh-In #2

If you watch the Biggest Loser on TV then you know that the second week is notoriously tough for the weightloss. And it was evident today in everyone's weigh-in at work. Luckily I did lose weight, but not much. Only 1 pound actually. But in the big picture I lost 8 pounds in two weeks. And that is still really good. I slipped out of second place and landed in fourth place. But I will rebound this week.

I did cheat a little bit tonight. It was my first cheat. And it was yummy. I put light sour cream, I can't believe it's not butter, and some shredded cheese on my baked potato. Not exactly the kind of cheating you were expecting? You were probably thinking I had some greasy burger or junk food. But I kept my cheating to a minimum, at least in my opinion.

So now I pick up and move ahead while focusing on working even harder. I will do it! This is me being positive!

Until next time,
