Well I did great! So happy. The weekend went fine. I shopped all weekend and avoided the sweet foods at the mall so with all the walking I burned tons of calories!!!
However I am looking to starting fresh for the new challenge. Mostly because we have had so many internet outages it has been difficult for me to post. However, we have someone fixing it today!!! Yeah!!!!
When does the new one start? Oh an I am interested in participating in the "in-between" stuff. It seems smart to me that the biggest time we need accountability and support is over the Christmas!
Well, still the same weight here for the 3rd day. I'm cool with it since I know I've been OP and I'm under 132 which was my original December goal. I would really love to see those darn 120's though! We'll see, but it won't be tomorrow. I'm having a planned off-plan meal for DS's bday tonight. The plan there is to not OVEReat, just to eat slowly and enjoy the food. I'll let ya know how it goes.
Congrats Ms Perception on being this weeks OVER ALL Biggest Loser! You are doing incredible!! Good luck with your planned off-plan supper!! Candice - here is an info thread about the new challenge.. i am encouraging everyone who is participating in the new challenge to read it through as we have made a few changes. http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/bigg...ease-read.html
well just finished my 91 minutes of wii fit plus workouts. so i met my goal today of 90 minutes of workouts....that just leaves the strength training during the finale tonight.
i forgot to cancel our pic session at olan mills tonight...so need to shower soon and have lunch and figure out what we'll wear tonight. it's at 630pm, so will watch the finale when i get home - thank goodness for DVR lol
need to return some stuff to walmart before we go to the school for the preschooler story time (for kids under age 5 who arent in school - DS is 3.5 and really enjoys it since they read a story and do a craft that goes along with the story that day)
have started the laundry (since DD was out of socks and is wearing mine) and have almost got all the dishes run thru the dishwasher lol still lots to do to prep for my parents coming into town in 2 weeks.
on to the good news for today.....HUBBY CALLED THIS MORNING!!!!!!! He called while we were getting ready for school....so the kids each got to talk to him and i got to talk to him. was so nice to hear his voice and talk to him he doesnt call much, so we talk online almost everyday. i havent actually talked to him and heard his voice since he was home for R&R in August....so him calling meant a lot to us he's mailing the blanket back home next week, since soon they will be moving out of their rooms and into tents to prep to come home in Jan i figured he'd need his quilt to stay warm in the tent, but he doesnt want anything to happen to it while in transition, so he's mailing it back. ooh well, at least he got to see it and use it some

Hi Ladies! Sorry I haven't been very supportive this week. I'm just so exhausted, both mentally and physically. I really just need to get some extra sleep, put I had some really important meetings at work this week, so I had to be here.....luckily today is my rest day, so I'm going straight home and taking a nap!
Monto Cristo (Antonia): Yes get some rest and you don't have to apologize to us we know how hard you work and all that you do as our team leader!
AW: I am glad you got to talk with DH.
Candice:
Angela: You are missed, and thanks again for the info.
I am resting and relaxing today. I am trying to get completely well. I am doing my exercise but not at the level I had. I think I was pushing myself to hard while I was fasting on the retreat and I got sick because of that.

Just stopping in to let everyone know I will not be going to Japan, so I will be here to weigh in next week.
I was diagnosed tonight at the hospital with a 102.2 degree temperature with swine flu. I'm now quartined to my apartment for 3-5 days while they await more tests results.
I have no clue how I caught this, other than maybe one of the kids at school was sick. I started feeling bad yesterday afternoon. I slept for like 16 hours last night. Then today, I went to school but was sent home sick. Went to the hospital tonight with 102.2 temp, tested positive for swine flu, got an iv drip, and now I'm quartined. Luckily I have such an amazing man in my life who took me in tonight, even though I really didn't want to go. I'm so blessed in my life right now.
Awwee... Shan, I am so sorry to hear that! Get lots and lots of sleep/rest.. I have know a few people who have had it as well and they felt horrible and were to stay at home for 7 days. They say we are coming to the end of the second wave of it going through our province, and are unsure as of yet of we are to expect a 3rd. I am happy I got my vaccination for it last week. Although I have a golf ball sized lump on my upper arm that I am hoping will go away soon..lol Get lots of rest and lots of water and liquids, load up on vitamin C and Zinc lozenges if you can... feel better soon!! Will be keeping you in my prayers!
Thanks Angela. I'm quarintined for the original 3-5 days while they wait for more test results. Then they might have to extend the quaritine. Luckily, I was already going to be off work next week for my planned vacation, so I just ended up using a sick day today and tomorrow. Not sure yet what this means for the school. We were closed before for 3 weeks for swine flu and thats just because swine flu was in our city, not because one of us actually had it. Not to mention, there are a few other teachers going to the hospital tomorrow because they are not feeling well.
Shan - That is too bad! Not only did you have to cancel your vacation, but your stuck in bed, and with swine flu. I hope you get to feeling better really soon.
I am feeling so much better. When I got home from work yesterday I ate a ton, took a long nap, ate again ( ) and went to bed early. Ended up eating WAY too many calories, but today I feel awesome, so it is really hard to feel guilty! But I'm back on the straight and narrow today.
Monte-Glad you're back to feeling great! I indulged a bit yesterday, too. Maybe it's something about the time of year ??
Shan-Oh man, sorry to hear you're not well. I hope you're not too disappointed to miss your vacation. I'm sure you'll get plenty of rest, though I'm not sure how relaxing it'll be. I'm so glad your honey took you in. Now, take good care of yourself!
IGetFit-Seems everyone has been under the weather here and there. Make sure you get your rest and all. Definitely decrease that workout intensity if you're still gonna do it. Your body will thank you!
I was happy to see a new low today. It was just a touch lower, but it all counts in my book! I had a couple cookie bars yesterday that my mil made. I love those darn things. I finally had to tell myself, "Just say no!" after I'd already had a couple. I could've eaten the whole pan, they tasted so good. But I felt like I needed to compensate so I danced around to the radio for awhile after my regular workout to burn a few more cals. It was actually really fun, 'cause the kids were home from school (snow day) and it was all Christmas music. We love Christmas around here, so it was super great to have that time with them.
Hi Red Team,
Sorry I haven't been around and missed the last weigh in, but for some reason this site is very slow in loading on my computer. I don't know why it's been this way, but after it was down that time I can hardly get on and if I can get it to come up then it takes 15 minutes or more to load a page.
Todayis the 3rd day of being snowed in, from Tuesday to wednesday we got over 12 inches of snow and high winds, School has been canceled for 3 days, I don't think DD is going to want to go back, it's been a mini vacation for her.
I hope everyone is doing well.
Have a great week and I'll try to get on again soon

Hi everyone! Sorry to hear some of you have been sick, and hoping you are feeling much better very soon.
I haven't been able to be as active in the threads as I'd like during this challenge, but I knew that was going to be the case due to work commitments and despite that I'm really happy with my progress during this challenge. A loss of 20.2 lbs or 8.99% is wonderful in my opinion, and I'm feeling really good about it. If I keep this up, eventually I will reach my goal
I've signed up for the next challenge, but I'm a little confused about how it's going to work. It sounded like there's specific workouts we'll be required to do? If so, I'm a little worried about that. What if a person has some physical limitations? There's an instructor at the gym I go to who expects everyone to go full tilt like she does regardless of their fitness level - VERY UNSAFE. The best instructors have always shown safe modifications to the exercise for those who are not yet in the best of physical condition. Oh, well that's just my opinion...FWIW.
I can't believe the holidays are upon us. I am soooo not ready! Not too worried about staying on plan - that part seems to be going quite well for me at the moment. Wishing everyone on the Red team a warm, happy, healthy holiday season!
Oh yeah, one more thing I wanted to ask about....I just ordered the Rockin' Body and the Hip Hop Abs dvd's off of eBay. Have any of you ever used these? If so, what do you think about them? They look like they'll be fun!
lol
lol still lots to do to prep for my parents coming into town in 2 weeks.
Congrats you deserve it!
) and went to bed early. Ended up eating WAY too many calories, but today I feel awesome, so it is really hard to feel guilty!
