Hi Red Team
Like most everyone we have been digging out from the storm, we had around 10 inches but it s hard to get a true amount because most of it blew around. WE have some spots in the yard and drive where there is no snow and some 3-4 foot drifts. DD had to go to school today, she is disappointed that she only got 1 day off school, with an early out and a late start. Now the cold starts for a while. I'm not ready for that.
Tomorrow I'm going to a Go Red fof women lunch, it will be the first time I've been out in almost a week.I did the 1 mile WATP and it was hard, I used to do that all the time I guess I've been too lazy for to long, from now on I'm doing it every day.
Desidoo, good luck with your surgery and work on getting over it and healthy again.
For all the Snow Bunnies- Keep digging, Spring is around the corner, we just need to shovel a path for it to get here.
Rainbow: You are my motivator . . . you are rockin things out . . .
I didn't know today's challenge but, I bumped things up and started pushin' that train at a jog . . . . JM 30-day shred (Level 2, 5 lb weights) then JM 30 Day Shred (Level 3, 5 lb weights), zumba flat abs, 200 crunches and 90 push-ups . . . now off to the blue team thread to help them melt a little butter too!!
CanadaM: that does NOT sound good . . . are you OK, do you need to go to the hospital???
lavie: glad you're OK and TRYIN' to stay warm under all that snow . . . summer will come, summer will come, summer will come <sigh> or at least that's what I keep telling myself . . .
Desidoo: no worries, you can drive the train for a bit and pull the whistle . . . WOOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOO can you walk????? better than nothing . . .
PEANUT: OH PEANUT, I AM LAUGHING SO HARD toooooo funnny, DO YOU SEE ME STICKING MY TONGUE OUT AT YOU, MELTING MY BUTT-ERY GOO . . . I did each of these 5 times, I think they will work . . . but still toooooo funny!!!
Charlie June: GREAT JOB, TWO weeks is SOOOOOO WONDERFUL you have to start from where you are at . . . and now it's time to PUSH THAT TRAIN . . . after you catch you breath, even if it's 30-40 minutes . . . start that DVD again, even if you only go for 1 more minute . . . YOU CAN DO IT!!!
JayTee, JayTee where are you???
I want you to see my butt-ery goo
Are you stuck up under the snow drift too
Watch me drip my butt-ery goo
stay warm in your new house, the BIG WHITE IGLOO
and try not to slip on my butt-ery GOO
OH, I am SOOOOOOOOO funny in my own head, lolol
Hope all of you who are stuck in the snow are keeping warm and have electricity (aka HEAT) stay warm, don't shovel too long and we'll see you soon!!
UGHHHHHHH!!! My Love Train is stuck in the snow and SNOW really, really #@!@s the big one! And, so does COMCAST which left me without tv and internet for almost two full days. And so does having to shovel snow to get your car out, but also having to shovel portions of your home which have a flat roof so it doesn't collapse!
Just read all the posts to catch up. You ladies are amazing!!!!
Rainbow--congrats on another huge loss this week!
Madame BUTT-er-- I think I slipped on some of that goo which I was shoveling. It was yellow...oh wait, maybe it wasn't butt-ery goo...lol...nice job you shredding, zumba-ing fool you!
Desidoo--Poor baby. No fun for you over the next few days. Good luck and good health wishes coming your way!
BetteK & Lavieboehme--glad you joined the posts. SNOW BLOWS in more ways than one, doesn't it?!?!?
Shan--can we come by you? Is it warm there?
CharlieJune--wheezing, coughing, lying on the floor dying after a mile is worth it. If I hadn't started working out again on January 1st, I never would have made it through the aftermath of our blizzard. My husband couldn't believe how much I helped in the clean up effort. Keep at it!!!! BTW, really, really nice of you to volunteer helping others to read. That made me all warm and toasty.
CanadaMel--Feel better! Sometimes a quick little run helps loosen up all that chest congestion, but don't over do it! Hope you're better by the time you read this.
Peanutt--I'm all for trying to working off additional calories, but can I do it next week? Right now I can barely straighten my back!
And for today's song lyrics let's go with HEAT WAVE!
CHUGGA CHUGGA....WOOOOOOSH! WOOOOOOSH!
PULL THAT TRAIN OUT OF THE SNOW BANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UGHHHHHHH!!! My Love Train is stuck in the snow and SNOW really, really #@!@s the big one! CHUGGA CHUGGA....WOOOOOOSH! WOOOOOOSH!

Greetings Teamies!
Life still seems to be getting the best of me these days but I'm still putting up a good fight... Hope the rest of you are doing well! I have been reading your posts when possible even if I haven't been able to comment often...Love the team spirit and encouragement going on! Keep it up!
Also...my computer is kind of on the fritz this week (read "blue screen of death") and so I am trying to get that taken care of...don't be alarmed if I am even a little more MIA than normal the next two weeks or so, or if I have to use a Freebie because I can't get to the site to post...Lots of Luv! Emily
DesiDoo - I hope you heal soon! Take it easy and keep on posting!
Okay team, last night I think I had just the right thing happen to kick my behind back in gear and get my mind back into the zone for losing this weight! I dreamed about being on The Biggest Loser. I dreamed that this whole team was on the ranch and we were at weigh in for this week. So I hopped up on the scale (knowing that due to it being "that time of the month" that the numbers might not be so good) and I had an 8 pound gain. So the whole team was shocked! Bob and Jillian laid into me just like they did to Don the day after his brother got sent home. They kept yelling at me about how I had been doing so well and have completely lost my motivation. They screamed about how I told my family at Christmas that this would be the last Christmas they would see me as a fat girl and I hadn't really done much of anything since 2011 started to seriously lose the weight. I felt like such a slacker by the time they got done with me. And their tirade was done in front of ALL OF YOU!!!!! EEP! I was totally freaked out. So after that weigh in we all went to a mountain for a challenge. All of you started running up the hill and I was standing at the bottom, just staring up at everyone. Next thing I knew Courtney (from the current season of the show) came over to me and said, "I know it seems daunting but you can climb this hill. Just like you are scared of the amount of weight you have to lose, this mountain is the same. Each step will get you to the top, and each pound will get that weight off!" So little by little I started walking up the hill. Then I got motivated to catch up to my teammates and started running to catch you.
Then I woke up.
I feel pumped! The dream was so close to reality really. I definitely don't feel like I've done everything that I could have done to ensure decent losses each week. And this week due to "that time of the month" and giving in to bad cravings and stuff I expect a gain. I contemplated taking my last freebie this week but I can't do that. I have to own up to the cravings, face the number on the scale, and put it behind me.
Tomorrow morning I plan to get my behind in the gym! They have day care from 8:30AM to 12:30PM so I can get in there in the morning and start getting back on track! No more stopping for fast food just because it's cheap and quick. No more going home and watching TV with a bowl of kettle corn and drinking half a 2 liter of orange soda. I just have to keep thinking about that dream and take those little steps to make it to my goal!
Huge thanks to the RED TEAM and Bob and Jillian in my dream for helping me to pull my head out of my behind and get it back in the zone!
CourtneyD--We're all puttin' on Rainbow Red this morning and climbing that moutain with you. Why? BECAUSE IT'S LAST CHANCE WORKOUT TIME!!!!!!
Shan--What an exciting adventure you have planned. You derserve it and we want details when you return!
Hungry4--Glad you could drop in for a bit. "Blue screen of death" is bad. When our Mac goes on the fritz we get the "spinning beach ball of doom" symbol.
Hmmmmmm....that last bit of talk about computers reminds me that it's time to go feed my other "machines" their daily calories. Off to feeding time at the gym...
IT'S RED FRIDAY AND I'M WEARIN' THE RED, EATIN' THE RED AND SHARIN' THE RED

Wow, the energy in this thread is amazing! It kind of scares me a bit, lol.
My zumba teacher added a bunch of different songs/routinues this week. She's had the same group for a while now and she's starting to push us (which is good). But I'm so sore! My abs feel like I got run over and please, please don't make me laugh! She even stepped it up in yoga this week too! I can't wait to hear "child's pose" so I can just lay my head down! Can't wait to see the results this week!!
