Supportive Teammates

I just want to use this opportunity to thank each and everyone of my teammates for the support and kindness they have shown me. My family and friends have been great, too, but it is my team that is there with me every morning pushing me to give it my all, even when I don't feel my best. I just want to thank them for all the support they've given me especially since all the drama this past Wednesday.

Drama, Drama, Drama

There was quite a bit of drama again this morning. Some people on the other team are getting all up in arms about the times my teammates and I work out. The only thing I have to say is that this is supposed to ultimately be about improving your own life and health. Lifestyle change. This petty bickering about when and where workouts take place is low and somewhat ridiculous. If you are taking these cheap shots just to eliminate competitors to win money and a trip, then this isn't about changing your lifestyle at all. It's about some cash and a vacation.

Phew!!!!

I almost got eliminated this morning do to my failure to blog. It put me in me bottom two. Only sheer honesty and the compassion of my fellow Gut Busters has kept me in the running. They were talking all day on the radio about my close call. I know couldn't have lived with myself if I hadn't been 100% honest about my blogging and everything. I lost 3.75 pounds by the way. Giving me a grand weight loss total of 18.75 pounds. Yeah me!!!!

3/18/08 Focused

I'm still feeling quite sick today. I had to call in sick for most of my work day. I am managing to keep working out though. Our training sessions and diet plans are becoming a lot more focused to our individual needs now that there are fewer and fewer people. It's tougher but I know it will be worth it. I've already experienced the confidence that feeling better about myself brings to me.

P.S. Diet cranberry juice is quite yucky

3/16/08 Yucky

I'm feeling a bit under the weather. I really hope it doesn't interfere with my ability to work out. But I have asthma, so you never know. Right now it's just a cough. I really hope it doesn't turn into anything too bothersome.

3/13/08 Still SOOOOOO Happy

I'm still just flying high from my success yesterday. I was the second biggest loser of the week. Can you believe it? I'm just so pleased and proud of myself. I'm in this competition to lose weight and get healthy, but my competitive side might be rearing its head a bit now. I'm in it to win it. There I've said it.

3/12/08 8 POUNDS, YES!!!!

I lost eight pounds this week according to today's weigh-in. I'm soooooooo excited. This brings my grand weight loss total up to a stupendous 15 pounds. THAT'S RIGHT!!!! This was totally what I needed to get motivated. I'm feeling so much better than I was just 12 hours ago. I got off the scale and was like, "Oh my GOD." It was just so exhilarating
