I agree with all of you I feel so bad for coach Mo. He looks so put off when Tracy speaks. That first episode when she got hurt. I felt so bad for her, but now, I think Jillian wants to smack her in the face when she gets that look and how does she continue to loose all that weight????

Canada Mel- Happy Thanksgiving to you and the rest of the red team that lives in CAnada!!!

KimL- I assume it has to be the same weather pattern but this morning I thought the rain was going to break through our bed room window, it was raing so hard and sideways it was not a pleasant experience. I will say it is beautiful here now at about 3pm so maybe that is coming your way too.

Igetfit- I live at the foothills of the smokey mountains in Tennessee. There are so many great trails I love to hike just do not get to the mountains enough!!!
Hope everyone is doing well and staying on plan. Lets keep loosing Red Team!!!!!

Growing up we lived near the wildress, I miss it so. I know they keep saying that Tracey is unstable and it weird because I keep saying that to everyone she is unstable. I should work for the Producers. LOL


Boy you guys are so lucky. Rain oh rain, we are in the middle of a three year draught, and you live near a lake as well that does sound like heaven. You must live in the North East or South East, I hear they are having a lot of rain, I wish God would send some our way.

Coach Mo looks like he's a little scared of Tracey. I hate that he has to have her as a team mate and is causing a chasam between he and the rest of the house. I am also pived at Bob for being rude to Coach Mo, when he hurt himself, Coach Mo really works very hard and deserve a little more respect.

Tracey damaged her muscles from extreme exhaustion during the first chanllenge. One of the things she has is called Rhabdomyolysis it is the breakdown of muscle fibers resulting in the release of muscle fiber contents (myoglobin) into the bloodstream. Some of these are harmful to the kidney and frequently result in kidney damage.

Causes
When muscle is damaged, a protein pigment called myoglobin is released into the bloodstream and filtered out of the body by the kidneys. Myoglobin breaks down into potentially harmful compounds. It may block the structures of the kidney, causing damage such as acute tubular necrosis or kidney failure.

Dead muscle tissue may cause a large amount of fluid to move from the blood into the muscle, reducing the fluid volume of the body and leading to shock and reduced blood flow to the kidneys.

The disorder may be caused by any condition that results in damage to skeletal muscle, especially trauma. It's very dangerous, CPK levels being so high means her body is still eating its own muscles which I believe makes them worry she could have a heart attack or kidney failure.

hi! :wave:

i ran tonight, 1 and 3/4 miles. i was going for 3, but then i just lost steam. i don't think i had eaten enough before hand. i tried to look online for nutrition for runners, but i haven't found anything good yet. i need to be on this though, i have my first race next sunday!

Good Thursady morning to you all!! Hope everyone is doing well and eating right. I have not been to off this week. Just need to continue to get in my veggies. I am taking a 1/2 day off work today to take the kids to the mountains to go hiking so I am very excited about that. I am not sure which hike we will go on but I am looking forward to some exercise. I must thank you ladies all the hiking talk got me in the mood and the kids seem very excited about it too.

:coffee:

hi all! today is cross training - some bike time, and weight training. All after class, though. :)

Hi all, sorry I have been MIA. Had an awful eating and exercise week last week so I took a freebie. I'm still not 100% back on track but it's getting better. I'm refusing to weigh until Monday so I don't have a total meltdown haha.

Good news is I finally got in and got a new script for my ADD meds, so my dependency on caffeine just disappeared. No more Coke and Pepsi = less junk being put in my body! I am much happier to be back on track, although it will probably take a few days to regulate in my body.

Well I am off to do more homework - my classes are killing me this term! I'm planning on walking this afternoon after lunch to get in some exercise. Maybe I will go dust off my weights too!

hi everybody hope this week goes well for all of u im a bit off track this week .......i really wanted to be near 200 im 212 right now so lets see how this month ends .......i need to go grocery shopping for my dieting .....
anyways i hope u all stay on track and dont forget the water good luck

Hey everyone, sorry I've been gone for a while. This week and next week are midterm weeks for me, so I've been EXTREMELY busy with school. I completely forgot to weigh in on Monday so I took my first freebie week. Hopefully things will die down a little bit next week.

RED or Blue
 

Who won the weigh in?

Just waiting on dixie, I'm guessing she's just got a lot going on. The weigh-ins are in, just awaiting posting. I'm sure they will be up soon. :)

I think we did. :carrot:
