Go Jillian!

Val — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 07:54:01 +0000

So excited that the girls did it again. Second year in a row that Jillian’s girls have kicked butt and too many seasons to count of Jillian’s team kicking ass! She really gives the best resources and sends them out in the world ready to kick it for themselves.

I’m looking forward to the new season starting right away. The biggest season ever? I PROMISE to keep up on posting about it. I can’t believe I didn’t post once this season. I could have gotten a lot of venting out about the evil Vicki. lol

Biggest Loser couples

I haven’t even blogged about this have I? What a loser I am. lol I’m not too sure about this season of BL. I mean I like it because it seems like
there is even more training being shown. But I’m just not connecting with any of the players. I think one of my clients hit it and Jillian did too.
Black team ate and won the $5000. She yelled at him to go home and earn the money faster, that so many people would pay that for one day at the Ranch. That hits this season totally. They are just whiners. Why did they even go on the show? I mean, I understand if they are going to complain when they work out, I do that too. But to whine and cry and pretty much not even want to be there.

New Biggest Loser season

Val — Sun, 23 Dec 2007 17:08:14 +0000

We just finished this season and yet in just a couple of weeks we’ll start a new season. I was a little disappointed because it will be a regular season of voting people out. I was looking forward to the couples and families that they did between season 2 and 3 that they didn’t play the “game” they just did challenges and learned how to change their lives.

Don’t get me wrong it was a competition to see which family or couple could lose the most. But it was a single episode for us to watch and it was just who lost the most won.

I am looking forward to it starting again though as I have a client that this really ads motivation for.

If any execs just happen across this blog, please think about switching biggest loser to it actually being the biggest loser. No more voting and drama crap. The person that loses the least amount each week goes home! Then it will truly be the biggest loser at the end.

Tuesday Biggest Loser night

Val — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 04:38:17 +0000

Well biggest loser night means pizza around here. I swear it honestly does. It just happens that way. lol Tuesdays used to be taco’s, hmm, I need to get that habit back in. That was a much better choice than the pizza and it’s easy. BAHAHAHAHA, their jobs today as they transition into going back home are at a pizza parlor. Man I have super guilt now. lolol Oh man, the guilt!

So today I burned 431 calories jogging and also did the elliptical for 10 more minutes earlier in the afternoon. So I did my 500+ calories burnt. WOOHOO! Then I had sushi today and it was quit healthy, nothing was deep fried. Big step, it’s difficult to decipher what some of the stuff is until after you’ve had it. Course I had two rolls, so that is besides the point.

weekly weigh in

Val — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 15:24:21 +0000

Ok, it’s not any better, in fact it could be worse. I honestly haven’t weighed in yet, but I know I have to. The beginning of the week was a horrible weight. I’d gained 3+ pounds. I had eaten quite well, but then I had microbrews on Sunday and those are a ton of calories. So not happy with myself for that. I’ve worked on my portions this week. Even though I had nachos yesterday, I didn’t go crazy on them and ate a ton of the meat with less chips. For dinner I had a med. size salad and then a french dip made with the roast from dinner the night before. Before I’d probably have had two as they weren’t very big, but one was enough.

I’m back on my shakes in the morning. It’s hard to grab anything else when you want to sleep in til the last second. lol And I’m doing the lean efx as well so I won’t be so reliant on caffiene and the extra calories that can bring. One step down.

Yesterday I did an hour of extra moving, 20 min. of it could be considered cardio. Burned an extra 425 calories total. Today I jumped on the bike already (it’s only 7:30 am) and got a 100 calories out of the way. I’m going to do my cardio workout here in a few minutes. I’d hope to wait until the gym cleared out as I just don’t feel like having anyone here while I do it. lol Then I will also hit cardio before my evening appointment. I may hit it with my last appointment as well. I really need it, so why not?

Well the scale is better today than it was on Monday. It still sucks though. I will log into the Biggest Loser Club and keep track of my progress better. I also need to print off the menu’s for the next couple of weeks with the shopping list so hubby can get groceries. So today my weigh in is 182.5 and I hate to even type that. But also, I lost 1.5 pounds in the last two days. I weighed in at 184 on Monday morning.

My workout so far today is rockin and I still have another one to fit in later today. I just finished 35 min. on the summit trainer for 350 calories and then walked to get my HR back down and did another 50 calories. total of 400 on that and the 100 on the bike. I’m at 500 for the day so far and I will get another one in later today plus a walk or bike.

I know I’ve been blogging more than usual. Are you excited to hear from me so often? lol Being as you keep up with my blog I am going to assume that you are addicted to the Biggest Loser like I am. I think this show has easily taken over my top spot. It is the only show that I will watch WITH the commercials because I don’t want to wait to see it. I cry every episode at least once. Jillian is my idol and I was so excited to see her come back.

The Biggest Loser has it’s own weight loss online plan of course and I can’t help but promote it. The Biggest Loser Club has helped 1000’s of people lose weight. The great thing about it is you do not have to be in a city or have a gym to participate. It’s an online program that will help get you to your weight loss goals. I am awaiting some info from a couple of other plans and then I have decided to join one of the online programs for a month. This way I can give an honest opinion of the program. Well ok, I’m not going to wait. I’m going to jump in. It’s the 2nd of the month and I’m going to go join the biggest loser club and report back to you about it.

Next month I will join another online program and report back. Are you ready for this? Feel free to join me in this crazy quest and post here. I’m actually excited. Of course I’m signing up right now and won’t be able to play in the program until tomorrow night. ARGH hate that!

Updated: I have updated this post to let you know that I am now a 3 month member of The Biggest Loser Club. It was a much better deal because I got the cookbook and another book for free for signing up at only about $60 for all three months. So I’m in it until Jan. 3rd. Then I can check out another program. How is that for committment? lol

Update #1

Val — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 07:41:27 +0000

Well so far I am going through the forums and I hate them. The shopping lists and recipes are AWESOME! The workout routines are super beneath me, but hell, I’m a trainer already. That was expected. lol This program is geared for the beginner to keep them going. But the diet alone is enough to make me happy. I’m going to print off the shopping list and make hubby buy for these recipes. The end. It’s time for me to step it up. The funny thing is he will be most happy to do this.
