Red Team Fall Focus Chat Thread Week 4 (10/11-10/17)
 

Hey team. Like I said I'm posting these up a little early tonight. Seeing some good numbers being posted for weigh ins. Good luck to everyone! Let's continue this weeks thread by talking about any crockpot recipes you use that you enjoy.

Sorry team. I'm using my first freebie this week. I did some extensive exercise this past week as you can see if you look in my workout journal on that thread...and I have some massive water weight going on. I'll take my freebie this week and work on dropping some of that weight for next weigh in. Congrats to others who are seeing great losses this week.

Checking in from Waterton. We did a nice long hike yesterday (my pedometer logged ~32,000 steps)
We're in a hotel tonight and grateful since it's raining here. Tomorrow we'll head home, but we've had an enjoyable weekend spending family time together.
Hope everyone is doing well and ready to rock week 4!

First concert: Hall and Oats!

Cook with a crockpot?: not as much as I should! Usually I make black bean soup in the crock pot.

Almost done with my move. For a week i stayed with a friend who does not have internet or tv - that was interesting. Haven't unpacked my scale yet but judging from my jeans nothing changed too much!

so sorry I missed weigh in!!

I'll be gone next weekend as well so I'll weigh in Thursday so I don't miss it again.

Happy Monday (is that an oxymoron?? lol) team! I'm far more chipper than I should be on a Monday while the girls are fighting as they get ready for school. On my way to the gym. Hoping for an hour on the eliptical, but we'll see. Foot still banged up, zumba and bosu out of the question for a few more days I think.

luckybustert-I vaguely recall Black Oak Arkansas. My first concert was Grand Funk Railroad in Omaha.They later did a song titled "We Are An American Band" that referenced a wild party in Omaha and we all speculated who was referrred to in the lyrics!

CanadaMel-I just went to an outdoor Hall & Oates concert in the spring. It was pouring rain but it was still great because that music is just plain fun.

I use my crockpot quite a bit during the winter but it is just the usual-beef stew, pork ribs or bean soup. I am not sure if any of those fit in my food plan anymore. My old recipes are probably pretty high in calories. I am not sure what I will be eating this winter but I would like to incorporate more soup and the crockpot might be the way to go.

Shan - sounds like you must be in some pain after your tough workouts! I hope the water gain comes off quickly for you.

KimL - My Thanksgiving was awesome, thanks for asking :) I am sooo glad I used my Friday weight for this week, I've gained 5 pounds this weekend!! I'll be working on it for the rest of the week.

Grneyegrl -- Sounds like an interesting week...must have given you lots of time to think and chat!

Crockpot -- I love it, especially in winter I probably use it at least once per week. Chili, spaghetti sauce, sweet and sour chicken, roasts...I'm going to try more stuff with chicken this winter, I haven't experimented much with that.

Hey red team. Sorry I was MIA for the day. Spent a day away at a cabin in the woods with the bf. Good times and beautiful weather!

Congrats to all of our losers!! Way to go!!! Let's keep it up and keep moving for Week 4!

For myself personally, I am going to stop weighing in daily, and start weighing in only once a week. I don't usually count everyday when I weigh in, but its starting to play mind games with me and I don't want to bother with it anymore. On another note, the bf and I will join the boxing academy here on the island tomorrow. It will be my first workout with that tomorrow and I'm super nervous and very excited. Also tomorrow is the first day back to work after a 4 day vacation. Hope everyone has a great Tuesday here!

Congrats to all the losers!!! :)

Hi Red team I just post the results and want to say Congratulations to the Red Team for winning the week 3 challange. Great job!!!

Also to all the Canadians on the team I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving

CONGRATS TEAM!!!! We won the week 3 weigh in! :celebrate:

Yay to those of you that helped make us winners this week!

I had a rough day, kids were crazy, I have the worst PMS that I've ever had, and my cat is very sick and may not be with us very much longer. It's been a pretty emotional day, but my one victory is that I stayed on plan today with both food and exercise. I'm hoping when I wake up tomorrow, my hormones will be in check, my children will be behaving like perfect little angels, and my cat will be cured. If that doesn't happen, I'm hoping I can at least stay on plan again! :) Have a good night, all!
