    How ya'll doing/

    Hi everyone!

     

    Boy I am tired today. I did not sleep well last night and my tummy has been bothering me again. UGH! I am sure you are all tired of hearing that! I know I am tired of it too. Katie and I have been texting back and forth as to where to go for dinner Saturday night. My hubby and I are double dating with her and her new boyfriend.  Oooooooooooo….let the romance begin! LOL! I won’t say much because I haven’t met him yet but I have heard a lot about him. “Eli this and Eli that”! LOL! Just kidding Katie! You know I am happy you met someone nice. J Anyway, I want to find a place that we can have some healthy options but we also have to watch price too. No Sushi for me.  L I was just talking to a gal that I work with and I realized I have not had fried foods in probably 2 years now. I mean I have a French fry here and there (like one or two) but I have not eaten a whole serving of them or anything else fried in a VERY long time. You know, I don’t even miss it. It kinda smells gross too. My weakness is and always will be sweets. I LOVE desserts and candy!!

     

    Well, I just wanted to touch base with you all to let you know I am still alive. Now we just need to get Katie to tell us ALL about her new man! LOL!

    Hello!

    OK, I am not going to record my weight from last Saturday. The reason why is because I realized that the Alka-Seltzer that I was taking has 1,900mg of sodium in it and I was taking it 3 times a day!! Needless to say my weight jumped up 6 lbs in a matter of a week. I will weigh in this week and accept the outcome now that I am feeling better and able to work out. Just about everyone I work with has gotten that nasty flu. Well, I don’t have much time today but I at least wanted touch base with you all. Take care!!

    illness update

    Well, I am feeling better but my stomach is still really sour. I swear that if I have to eat any more dry toast, I am going to scream! I have been working out a little bit but my legs are so weak that I can’t really get my heart rate up. I hope this passes soon. It is really getting on my nerves. I smell other peoples’ food around me and it smells SO GOOD but if I would eat anything “solid”, it upsets my tummy. Well, I have been eating chicken soup that I made so I guess that resembles solid food. I don’t have much else to report. Just going to try and get well.

    Katie Not Well

    Well, I have been enjoying doing my video blogs. Though they are slacking I enjoyed them. This week has been so whirlwind that I haven't been able to get one done and now I am sick!!! BLAH!! I see that Wendy is sick too. This has been such a long season of sickies.
     
    Here's a pickle. To work out or not to workout? That is always my problem. While I LOVE the working out I know that my body is screaming for me to rest, please rest Katie. I haven't physically been to the gym since Tuesday; but I did workout to my Turbo Jam videos at home.
     
    Ok, this challenge that Wendy has given me since the begining, has been going well. I am surprised. Asparagus is actually pretty good. I the hater of green veggies is craving asparagus. LOL!!! It must be working because I have officially broken out of the 230's and am running towards the low 220's. I found my 16's are now comfortable and not tight. WHOO HOO!!! Maybe I can get to 14's soon. There might be a muffin top for a few weeks; but heck, they's be a 14. Take the challenge with me. I have encorporated the challenge of "greens at every meal" into my life daily. For example, I had a lunch date yesterday, YES, I had a date lol, and I had a side salad with my meal. Ummm, who gets a salad at a Mexican resturaunt??? Chips and salsa were my staples. Not anymore.
     
    I would love to hear how everyone is doing. Did we make it out of our 2/3rd week slumps? I finally did thanks to Wendy and my trainer, Ross's, encouragement. I have looked at some of the other MPMU pages and ya'll are doing sooo great!!! Keep up the good work.... I am heading out to the gym. ;)

    not well

    UGH! Man have I been sick! Yesterday I went to work for about an hour then left. I was so nauseous and I hurt all over. All I did for them most part is lie on the couch and moan all day. I went to work today but have not been very productive. I keep having this sharp pain in the side of my head.  It is probably because I had my neck adjusted yesterday too. I thought I messed up my shoulder doing Turbo Jam but it appears I knocked my neck out of place. It took him 4 tries to get it in place. So needless to say, I do not feel good at all. The only thing I can eat is dry toast. Absolutely nothing else sounds good.

     

    I am going to take the rest of the week off from working out to allow my body time to heal. It’s hard to do that but I know I won’t get better if I don’t. Well, not much else to say right now. As soon as I am done at work, I am going home and lay on the couch.

    Monday night call

    Great call last night!! I am so glad to meet some new people.
     
    Yesterday we went to a health fair at Boy's Town here in Omaha. They are having a wonderful contest where the person with the most weight  loss will win a cruise! WOW! That is quite the prize. We also got to hear Marty and Amy speak publically for the first time. They are very good public speakers.
     
    I am very, very tired today so I don't have much to say. We had 8 kids at our house on Super Bowl Sunday and 5 of the 8 kids were 2 year olds. LOL! It was an experience that's for sure!
     
    Well, I am going to run but I wanted to make sure to touch base.

    Sorry! Conference call

    Hi everyone!
     
    Sorry we were not able to be on the conference call last night. We found out at the last minute that we had a business call we had to be on. Looks like they will be every Thursday night so we are going to have to cancel on Thursdays. The line is open all the time so if anyone wants to use it, you are welcome to it. We dont have to be on there for it to be used. So going forward it will be just on Monday nights. I am going to talk to Amy and see if she would be willing to drop in on the call on Monday. Her and Marty are VERY busy but I will see what I can do. We will be doing a health fair with them on Monday afternoon so I will ask her then. I will try to post a message before the call to let you all know if she will be on or not. It would be a great way to be able to ask some questions that you may have always wanted to ask a contestant.
    hmmmm....I have Pam's email address too..I can see if she would as well.   
     
    Last night was just a crazy, busy night. I no sooner got done at boot camp and I had to get on this call. I was going to just blow it off but Amy was right there encouraging me to log in. What is a girl to do, right? LOL! Amy is so sweet it is hard to say no to her. Open-mouthed So I was on the call at the gym, trying to get my warm clothes on so I could go home, drive home and then take a bath all the while on the call. LOL! I missed a good portion of it.
     
    Man! This new business we are in with 'Team Biggest Loser' is going to be great! It's going to take some time but I know it's going to be worth it. We are still looking for people to join our group as "fitness buddies". So if you want to know how to get fit and help other while you get paid, please let me know. My email is coachwmt@gmail.com.
     
    I gotta run now! Talk to eveyone soon I hope!
