BDW Biggest Loser ~ Season 9!

[Eliana]

Love it!!!! My guilty pleasure is wine! I love wine sooo much!!!! lol

I will go the wholte next week without it!

[nsbride2010]

My guilty pleasure is fast food: McDonald's, Wendy's, KFC, etc. I love it all! I will go all next week without any of it (since I usually allow it once per week).

 

I'm under a lot of stress right now, my grandfather is extremely sick and isn't expected to make it past the weekend. I'm sure it is going to reflect on the scale tomorrow, as stress always does!

Thanks for that Eliana! I don't know if I could ever abstain from caffeine.... but otherwise some great tips.

I did that last night, napped from about 530-800 and when I woke up had NO energy to workout or even really eat... I feel great today, so I know I'm not getting sick... this seems to happen once a month or so. Sleep habits are consistent- no extra stress at work. IDK!

OMG I've been pretty good since I finished university, but my FI is a huuuuge napper. It's so tempting to just cuddle up with him for an hour after work. But then it gets late and by the time I work out and everything, we don't have dinner until after 9PM (which I'm sure isn't good). And then we can't sleep, so we're up until after 1AM and then tired the next day... it's a vicious cycle that I'm trying to avoid.

As for a tempting food to give up, I'm going to have to say chocolate. So far I've been awesomely good since Monday!

Natasha, so sorry to hear about your grandfather. Let us know if your fellow BDWers can help in any way.

I’m so sorry to hear about your Grandfather! It is so very hard to lose someone you love

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Natasha <3

[Eliana]

I'm so sorry to hear that Natasha! I will be praying for you and your family...

I'm not doing so good this week-aaahhhh. My bd cake, student's cupcakes, Secretary's day cake-uuuggghhh. I hope to do much better next week. Good Luck!

[Mere]

p.s.=Natasha-your family is in my thoughts and prayers

[Tifany]

Natasha - So sorry. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers!

 

I tried to finish up week 1 of P90X, but my foot cramped up (toes, actually) for an HOUR. Switched tomorrow's rest day to today. Yikes.

 

I love the challenge idea. I've been making mini-goals each week. This next week, one is to have this Shakeology stuff each morning. I normally get coffee and toast at work, but the toast has been cutting my gums!

 

Don't think my weigh-in will be great this week, but oh well!
