I will be the first to admit that I have looked on the blog to see if there are any new posts, if not signed out and went about my cyber way but I can't today! Why you ask? I am a loser!!! I lost exactly 1 lb. Which I really needed because I felt like Erin McFattyton! Last week was PMS and you know what that means (choc. and chips, the terrible Double "C") then my grandmother tells me the shirt I was wearing made me look "fatter", she hails from New Jersey so she can say things like because it is the norm up north! To say the least my confidence was a little shattered. But no longer I am only 5 lbs. away from my goal. Horray! So, I hope everyone feels good this week and hope to hear from ya'll soon. Have a skinny and healthy weekend!

Sunday's Meeting
Sorry to be posting about Sunday's meeting so late in the week... It seems like everything in my world is coming to a head--this week!
*Girl Scout Cookie sales are ending this week (& I'm the troop leader)
*Basketball season ends this week (that means extra practices and a tournament on Sat.)
* My husband is emceeing a HUGE event on Thursday- It has taken our whole family's participation to help him get ready (recording, making posters, etc)
*Wynell is out of town this week, and we miss her!
Anyway, back to the meeting...
It was a little sad, that only two people were able to make it on Sunday. Thank you Katina and Beverly for staying. Also, Thank You to all who called to let me know that you wouldn't be there.
Luckily, our BIG Loser for the first 6 weeks WAS There~
Congratulations Katina!
Katina lost 5.59% of her body weight in the first 6 weeks~ Way to go! Her prize for this is $15 in SU Bucks. (Good timing with all the FUN stuff headed our way!)
In second place is Becky Bray, who lost 4.89%. Becky gets $10 in SU Bucks. (Becky is rackin' up the SU bucks... she also won the "Post the Most" Contest on our Message Board!)
The next three winners ...uh...losers... are:
Alice~3.92%
Wynell~3.68%
Erin~3.63%
For me, the most exciting thing about this six weeks is that we have lost almost 100 pounds as a group! As Katina put it, "That is almost a whole person!" Keep it up, ladies~Let's try to lose "another person" in the second half of our contest!

Is it over yet?
Have to say that last week was a ride. After wanting to commit diet-suicide on Sunday (no weight loss), I binged on cookies. Yeah, they were sugar-free (still haven't eaten a bite of food that's not on my diet plan), but I ate 2 servings instead of one. Tried to rebound on Monday, but I felt heavy all day (Oh, come on! Those cookies were wafer thin!!). It was as if I could feel the earth's gravitational force pulling on me. Forced myself to workout anyway. That's what you're supposed to do, right? But with every repitition of every exrcise, I was on the verge of tears and just wanted to stop.
You'd think Tuesday would be a better day... not so much. Got up and got ready for work as usual. No big deal. Drove about a mile, noticed I forgot my phone. Drove back to the house... phone was in my pocket. Grrrrr. Got back in the car, drove about a mile...where's my badge?? Drove back to the house. Grabbed my badge and drove to work. Got out of the car, grabbed my gallon jug of water..... drove back to the house. You gussed it. I was wet. And, it wasn't just a little spot or two that would dry by the time I got into the office. I was soaking wet from about the belly button down! One leg! And I'm not talking just a little bit, I was wet right down to the panties. Now, not only did I drive home clothes wet from the waist down, I was also in tears.
Good heavens (I told myself), it's just a little water what is the problem..... (the whole event was funny, but not until after lunch!) I made it back to work and finished the day rather uneventfully, except I had an appointment later that day. Yeah, missed that too.
Wednesday had to be a better day, right? I survived the drive to work (and only took one trip). It was my regular routine, but by the time I made it to the office, I wasn't feeling so well. Took an trip to the ladies room, only to find that my friend FLO(W) decided to join me.... A WEEK EARLY, nonetheless. NO WONDER I WAS WALKING AROUND LIKEA BLUBBERING PSYCHO!
This week started off a bit better. Lost 5 lbs. at weigh-in. Hopefully that's a sign of good things to come. Hope everyone is doing well! HEY!! Where was everyone today? Only two of us showed for the meeting!

Dear Lord, Help me be good!!!
Well, I wish I could say I just fell off the wagon, but I fell off, down a mountain, and crashed right into Willy Wonka's factory!!! It has been an awful week and I missed weigh in last week so I am going in today to take full responsibility for the numbers. A good scale tells no lies! But I can say that even with that bump behind me ( not my bottom! Last week!) I am feeling better about this week already. And I am really looking forward to the upcoming meeting. Hope everyone has a healthy week and can't wait until Sun. to see you!

Heavens to Mergatroid!
I demand a recount!! Not really!! Where my prize AT?? :p
Though I wasn't happy with the number, I am glad it's coming off.... Jody reminded me that the BIG numbers on "The Biggest Looser" are all coming from the men... But still, Becky's voice is in my head, stuck like an earworm singing.... "I'm gonna loose more weight, I'm gonna loose more weight..." get out, Get Out, GET OUT!! *banging self on left ear*
Have a great week everyone! And keep that goal in sight!!

YOU on a Diet Intermediate Workout
So I found this video of a very good 20 minute workout. I really thought it was good. And who does not have 20 minutes. Don't forget 30 minutes of walking EVERY day. "They" say it is just as important as sleeping (I don't know about that) BUT... anyway.... let's get to work, workout that is!
Love ya

Let's get Back on Track!
Ok you guys-- Sorry I haven't posted this week~ No excuses, other than my crazy-busy life. I will post last week's winners tomorrow morning. And, to make up for being so late, this week's prize will be extra fun!
Only two of you came in to weigh today. (But those two did great!) Don't give up now! Please make sure you come in either Monday or Tuesday, so we can get everyone entered for the weekly prize.
A couple of you have suggested Biggest Loser Meetings... I was thinking about Sunday, Feb. 17, at 3:30, after Book Club. As long as that date/time will work for a majority of you, we'll plan on it. Please post a comment to this post, to let me know if you can be there! Thanks,
Ami
