January 31 mandy thursdaySo after a rough couple of weeks I am still having trouble getting back on track! I've been doing better on my eating... but still can't get myself to exercise! After a lot of thinking and soul searching I talked to Natalie last night about auditioning for Season 6 and I think we are going to do it!!! It is going to be so hard leaving my baby and husband, but I have to do something! I have tried so many times to do this on my own and failed. I want to do this for me!!! So hopefully we will make it through and get to be on the show. I would LOVE to be the first woman to win BL!!! Or if Natalie won I would be so happy with that too!!! Wish us luck! Natalie's First weigh in tonight! Hey people!! Tonight is my first Weight Watchers weigh in! I wish it was NOW so I could eat! LOL....but it is after work at 5pm! I will let everyone know how I do. I'm thinking it's going to be around 9 pounds. Wish me luck! :) January 26 Saturday blog for Natalie SOooooo...I rejoined Weight Watchers on Thursday night...and I've actually been doing really good! I've been writing down everything! I will keep ya'll posted of my progress. I think I found a really good meeting and leader! I'll post more laters!!!! Love, Nat January 25 Mandy's Friday weigh inTO MY SHOCK AND AMAZEMENT AFTER NO EXERCISE THIS WEEK AND HORRIBLE EATING I LOST 2 POUNDS! I hope it doesn't catch up with me next week, but I am back on track eating and exercising!!!! If I can lose 5 pounds this week I will make it under 300....... keeping my fingers crossed! January 23 Wednesday..finally slowing downSo, this has been the week from hell!!! Spent every day and evening at Grandma's house trying to help her through. We only went home to sleep! Then Sunday I had to take my son to the ER because he has been sick and having trouble breathing. Found out he had RSV. They sent us home and basically said there was nothing they could do but keep giving him nebulizer treatments at home. MOnday morning I took him to the regular doc and he looked at him for all of 20 seconds and said take him straight to the hospital. So Monday and Tuesday we spent in the hospital with Hudson. The funeral was TUesday morning and my friend came and sat with Hudson while we went. Luckily at around noon they let him go home!! He is doing a little better but still sick. I am EXHAUSTED!!!!! I haven't done great on my eating and needless to say I haven't been home to exercise....I am scared I have gained. But, on the good side things are starting to calm down today and I WILL get back on track tomorrow! I'm so disappointed I missed the Million Pound Tour...but my rockin team mate got me a book signed!! Woo hoo, thanks Natalie!
Mandy Natalie's Tuesday BlogHappy Tuesday! I had a great time at the Million Pound Tour this weekend in Wichita. Julie and Jim were awesome! I posted some pics in my album on the page. I missed meeting Mandy, but hopefully we can meet soon! I haven't worked out since Thursday :( Monday was a BAD day. I'm scared to get on the scale!! I will continue to forge on...and kick the ass I know I can. It's a daily struggle of ups and downs. The show made me mad last night! I didn't want BetteSue and Ali to go!!!!!! Nat January 19 Friday's weigh in...I'm down 1.8 pounds this week....I guess slow is good...I'm used to big numbers though....but I'll take it. Million Pound Tour tomorrow so I must get to bed!!  Nat P.s. Mandy, great post below...You can do it girl, I'm here for ya too!! :) January 18 Friday RevelationI was sitting on my butt today while hudson was napping watching Oprah. They were doing a show about this being our year to end our struggle with weight. As I was watching something in me just clicked. All my life I've been controlled by food. I use food to deal with my problems. When I'm sad, depressed, mad, stressed, whatever I eat and eat to make myself feel better! Sitting there watching this show I realized....I am stronger than this! I will not let food control my life any more!!! I don't want to be fat any more. I want to enjoy my life and not be restricted because of my weight. So, I am challenging myself now... With the death in the family, now would be the time I would usually gain 10 pounds from grief eating....I will not do it this time. Food will not fix this problem, it will only make it worse. For the first time in a long time I feel in control. NO matter what comes my way I will win this battle. I will lose this weight and become the person I want to be!!! January 17 ThursdayI thought I would blog now while I am home for Hudsons nap....I won't have time for a few days I'm sure. My husbands grandpa died this morning so things around here are pretty rough. I am trying hard to stay in my cals...but I have a problem with eating when I'm upset! Obviously I won't get to go to the BL Tour in wichita...it would have been a blast but I need to be here with my family. I will write more when I have a sec. Thanks for all the support on this site...you are all awesome!
Mandy Natalie's Wednesday Blog. Well I'm not having the greatest couple of days. I'm doing well working out, and staying within my calories for the most part, drinking the water....etc....but I am eating too fast and too much when I get home from work. It's like I look down and I've eaten 2 bowls of noodles. :( It's so frusturating!! I don't even realize I've done it. Maybe I should just go back to Weight Watchers because it gives me more accountability. I don't know what to do. Grrr. I know I'll get there....baby steps!! On the upside...I can't wait until Saturday for the Million Pound Tour and to meet my girl Mandy!! January 16 Mandy's Tuesday blogToday has been a much better day! Did my exercise and did great on my calories. I found an awesome recipe for pork stir fry with cashew rice that I made for dinner. It was delicioius and only 400 cals. I haven't watched the show yet. I have it on my DVR so I will watch tomorrow while I exercise! I'm getting really excited for the million pound tour this weekend. I have a feeling it will be awesome! Well, time for bed...baby will be up at 7 whether I'm ready or not!!!
January 14 Mandy- MondayHey all, sorry it's been a few days. I have been out of town with a family member in the hospital. So, needless to say I haven't got to exercise and the eating hasn't been too great either. I have a feeling I won't be losing this week. I really hope I don't gain. I will post more once things settle back down. Hope all is well! January 13 Hellloooo, Natalie here!Well hello everyone! Ok this is weird to me. Friday night I didn't work out. I had 2 Red Bull and vokdas at a friends house. So Satruday morning guess what? The scale moved DOWN. 2 pounds. I don't get it! Last week, I worked out every night, ate within my calories, but the scale didn't budge. Could it be that I ate the majority of my calories at night for supper? Well anyway I am happy....didn't work out last night, but didn't eat too bad. Ate lunch out for the first time since the first of the year. Did ok. I'm moving downtown in March so I'm completely stoked! I haven't had a roommate in 3 years so we will see how that will work. Have a happy Sunday people. Natalie Saturday from MandyIt's been a pretty good day today I guess. Had a few setbacks with my eating today...but I will work out extra to make up for it. A few days ago I sent a message on myspace to Julie from last seasons Biggest Loser. She actually replied back and had read my myspace page and told me all the things we had in common. She told me she really hoped to meet me at the Million Pound Tour in Wichita!!! It made my day. It was so nice of her to take the time to send me a message back when I can only imagine how busy she is!!! Anyway, only a few more days! Yippee!! January 11 Mandy's weigh inFirst of all, let me say to Natalie...a loss is a loss! Sometimes it goes that way! I really saw that on the show Tuesday too...those guys work out for hours and hours a day. If they only lose 1 or 2 pounds after all that, it's bound to happen to us too! Don't get discouraged, I'm sure next week will be better.
Well, I lost 3.8 pounds! I usually don't have a number that big so I'm pretty happy! I'm down to 306.2 so maybe if I work really really hard this week I can get under 300 finally. Thats a big amount to lose in a week so I doubt it, but I'm gonna try!
Natalie's weigh inWell I can't get the photo to upload right now and I have to get to work, but I am down 1.2 pounds (293.8 pounds). I'm not happy with that at all. I worked my butt off. I think I ate too many calories at night. I will upload the pic at lunch. Nat January 10 Mandy's WednesdayThe show rocked last night! I agree with Natalie about the orange team!!! Had a great day...I even worked out twice! Woo HOo! I'm starting to feel better already. Every day I get more and more energy! I won't lie, it's not easy eating healthy. I was at my husbands business today and there were brownies there. I ate one! Thats why I worked out twice...ha ha. I know it's ok to cheat every once in a while...but it's hard for me when it's right in my face! Weigh in day is almost here...just one more day! I'm excited and nervous. I hope you all are having a great day. Stay focused tomorrow!! We can do this! January 09 Tuesday for Natalie! Well today was pretty darn good! Despite being stressed about work, trying to find a place to live, and oh did I say work...LOL...I managed to do 2.1 miles on the treadmill! Woo hoo! I just keep thinking that there is a fit, healthy girl inside of all this 295 pounds just busting to come out! The show was awesome! Soooo motivating! I just love Dan and his mom (orange team)...they are so positive and sweet to each other. I'll check in tomorrow with ya'll....be healthy!  January 08 Mandy- BL Tuesday!!!!!!!!WOO HOO THE SHOW IS TONIGHT...CAN'T WAIT!!! Today has been pretty great. I rode the bike for 45 minutes and did my strength training today. I feel good! Right on target for my cals and a healthy dinner is in the crock pot so I should be good to go!! It seems like it is going to take FOREVER to lose all this weight...but it is so worth it!!! I got myself into this mess, so I've gotta work hard and get myself out! Going to the doctor tomorrow so I will get to peek and see if I've lost any before my weigh in on Friday. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Hope everyone is having a great day and staying on track! Monday is done!Hey everyone, this is Natalie! I just got done working out and wanted to do a quick blog. Did 1 1/2 mile on the treadmill. My legs are pretty sore from the BL DVD so I kinda took it easy. I'm eating good. Went shopping tonight and stocked up!! :D Well I'm off to bed. Will blog more tomorrow!! Natalie |
