Sorry i haven't had any entries... it was beginning to be the same ole same ole... nothing really new to report... life just mellows out from time to time...
So today was the final weigh in for Biggest Loser 7.....I will admit i did not hit my original goal of 50 lbs i missed it by a long shot buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutttttttttttttttttttttttttt I'm ok with that. with all the trials and tribulations i had over the past 90 days I'm proud with my
16lbs....
I've worked hard over the past 90 days and i feel that even though the 16 may be small to some (there is a guy who lost 93lbs in 90 days, he won obviously) my body has changed... I'm going to have a picture taken of me this weekend and i will post it. I feel better too... I feel more energized.
I have cut out junk and I've cut out MONSTER...for those of who you really know me that's a HUGE step in my life... I enjoy working out... I enjoy lifting weights... I would like to lose all this body fat and be able to have big muscles(but not like a dude) and I'd like to be in roller derby.. Sean (my trainer) loves this idea...
I'd like to get in shape and be able to wear a size 10 or 8...these are all my goals but little steps first...
i have all the right tools to reach these goals...i have supportive friends and family, i have a KICK ASS AWESOME trainer, i have the supplements, i have the right food... i have the drive... so lets do this...
I'm not going to do the next biggest loser it's only a 60 day challenge and it's before the holidays..i don't want to add stress i want to enjoy the holidays just do it smartly.
I'm going to end on a victory note tonight....
5.5 years ago roughly when i found out i was pregnant with my wonderful daughter i weighed in at 222lbs...today I weigh in at 217 i weigh less then i did before i got pregnant. This is a huge victory...
Just because my biggest loser journey has ended for now doesn't mean that my weight loss journey has ended.. i will continue to work hard and work out and also write in this blog... keep checking back and watch me hit my goals..
thank you again for all your support and if you want to change your life and get in shape go see Sean Westbrook at the Auburn Vision Quest... he's amazing and he's motivating which is a huge help with your fighting a horrible weight loss battle.

dripping with anticipation
Soooooo today was weigh in and i really thought that with the day i had and the past few weigh ins i wasn't going to have a loss....
low and behold
2lbs :) oh yeah... I'll take it... so when i started the gym i was at 234.6 and I'm not at 219. awesome.....
that's almost 16lbs :) YAY so proud....
when we got to the gym we sat in the sauna for 15 minutes and then we worked out hard.... and then back in the sauna for 15 minutes before weigh in....
i believe in a previous post i said i felt that was cheating... I'm going to say this...sure i just dripped out some weight... i get that... that part is cheating but the heat makes my body feel so much better after working out so hard.
look at me I'm justifying it to myself....
well I've had a rough week... my favorite bank broke up (moved on) and i didn't get the job i applied for... but I'm ending it awesome... 2 pounds.....
i have three weeks left in this biggest loser competition... ultimately i would LOVE to lose 19lbs in the three weeks... do i think that's possible... i don't know but I'm going to give it a shot...
next biggest loser starts Oct 2nd and it's a mini....it's only 60 days sprint to the holidays... I'm very excited to started from the beginning with Sean...
this online weight loss tool said that if i lose 1-2lbs a week i will be able to hit my 100lbs goal by June 2011....that's awesome... I'm so ready...I'm also noticing a small victory... I'm not getting as winded anymore as i was....:) not to mention that my doc gave me an inhaler for my asthma that has come back...
yay...
well training on Sunday... oh yeah did i mention that Sean wants me to get boxing gloves so he can train me to box... do you see the first MMA fighter typing this? :) nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh more like roller derby....
i want to get in shape and than train for a run or event of some type and then start hard core training for roller derby......
come watch? :)

Grunting Gym Member
i have to share a funny little story to start this blog entry off....Today at the gym there was a guy lifting weights he had ear phones on and was totally dancing away to the music....he lifted a heavy set and grunted his way through it and when he was done he jumped up (eyes closed) and hooped and hollered until he opened his eyes and saw us standing there... smiled and said.. well yeah hell yeah ladies lol to funny....
So I'm back to feeling blue... I'm getting like zero results so obviously everyone jumps to the conclusion that i must be cheating on my meal plan... nope I'm not... ok then obviously I'm not working out as much as i say i am right? well yes this week i didn't work out as much because i was sick but I'm putting my all into it.
I'm feeling left out, abandoned, and given up on.
in talking to my very in shape father today he feels that my meal plan is actually causing me to gain because I'm not eating enough. he just read an article that states anything under 1500 calories for the day is more than likely doing damage because your body is going into save mode... i agree but i have been accused of not taking professional advice so i am still doing what I'm told to do...
everyone around me dropping weight and body fat % like it's going out of style. I'm still getting very discouraged. I really just want to work out alone and not be in competition with anyone because i feel like no matter what i never measure up to the ones i compete against....
i am feeling like a failure today :(
My clothing are not fitting better, I've stayed at the same weight for the past like 4 weeks, and my body fat % has not gone down... ;(
my legs and arms are like rocks though...
I'm not sure I'm going to do the next biggest loser.. honestly i feel like it's pushing me to do something drastic because I'm not getting the results like i should....:(

seriously would have felt better with a tutu
ok ok so tonight was the big tu tu wearing weigh in.... I'm a softy and didn't make him wear a tu tu however..... as Sean took the stage to do the tug o war and as he is tugging Zach says "I spoke to one of Sean's Clients earlier in the week and she expressed that Sean was either late or didn't show *crowd is super quiet so i yell at the top of my lungs...."he missed it" (Zach continues) and she said she was going to make him wear a TuTu at tug o war to make up for it *again crowd is quiet so i yell again at the top of my lungs "a pink one" (Zach continues) i myself was hoping for the rainbow one *looks at Sean* but man you aren't tall enough for them to see it...(i yell) i didn't bring it though i cut him some slack....(Zach says) that will teach all our trainers a lesson...never to bail on your client you never know what they will do to you...
Sean your a great sport(assuming your reading this) and I loved that you laughed through the whole thing....Thank you for being you and being wonderful....
I'm sad to say that Sean did not win the tug o war but we still love him anyways....
There were good numbers....Tiffany (i know you read this) you are doing so great....4lbs that's awesome, Christina you are doing awesome too i think it was 4lbs also right... You girls are wonderful... Monica-4lbs and Maria-2lb you two ladies are die hards... Everyone is doing awesome....
Congrats to all you ladies doing so awesome.......
on that note I'm so disappointed in myself...only lost .5 that's right .5 that's nothing and highly insignificant it's not even viable as i probably lost that peeing... (please remember i highly respect my trainer and love him to death) Sean looks at me and says...well we are just going to have to kick it up....my first thought is great now I'm going to be in the gym 7 days a week instead of 6 :( and I'm going to have to cut calories off my meal plan... great... why dint i just stop eating all together... I look at Nate and say... think I'd make myself sick if all i hate was protein shakes for two weeks? he rolls his eyes and says YES TARD....
at this point I'm still mad... Poor Sean so motivating and with a smile says are you that disappointed i said yes i am... he said OK then we will have to kick it up at notch to which i say in the most sarcastic and snotty tone great so that means 7 days not 6 he said no... he said we will have to take it to 90% in the work outs instead of 80 i said oh great so you can actually make me throw up this time(most of you don't know i came super close to puking on Wednesday after my workout) he said no i wont make you throw up...
I'm very disheartened and feel really low right now...
i said earlier I am on the giving up Verge....rest easy this doesn't mean I'm giving up... it just means that this is one of my lowest days....i got a lot of feed back on face book for this comment but the one that truly got me was from my wonderful sister in law (have i ever told you that i do truly love you like a big sister?)
when i read what she had to say i felt so selfish for giving in to my negativity and disappointment...She's absolutely right I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE, I JUST HAVE TO DO IT FOR RHYAN.....this brought me to tears (but for a good reason) for that Jess i say thank you and i love you.....(I'm pretty sure I've never told you that before and we haven't always been that "close" but i hope we can be closer :) you keep me going more than you know.. I need you to tell me stuff like that, to keep me going and get me back on track...
THANK YOU!
So I'm going to bed hungry because it's way to late to eat and I'm going to bed with a hurting heart because even though i fully agree with Jess's statement i am still a tad bit disappointed.
so recap.... to date I've lost 13lbs which is a FAR cry from 50 (my goal)...I've accepted the fact that i wont be hitting my goal weight for this biggest loser....the next weigh in is August 19th and then the final one on September 2nd...that's the big final weigh in... they have a party of sorts and then we start signing up for biggest loser again...yes i will be doing the next biggest loser, i believe it starts in October.
I'm off to Fork to find a vampire :) this weekend... Training session at 6pm on Sunday...wooohooooo.....
trying to keep my chin up....

Does that make me a gym cheater?
So today i had to have lab work done in Puyallup and instead of driving all the way up to Auburn to go to the gym we decided to stop by the Puyallup location to work out today.....
AWESOME.....that's the best way i can describe it... but yet doesn't seem quiet adequate.
Brad seriously....please turn Auburn into Puyallup...WOW... i loved it.
Different crowd all together and i think that has to do with the boxing ring (or lack there of) the machines were better the locker rooms were better the atmosphere was better..it was just BETTER....
I loved it...
so i have decided that on the weekends i will be working out in Puyallup except for Sunday's when i hit up Auburn to work out with Sean....
All you Vision Questers seriously think about checking out Puyallup it's awesome.....
ok off to try to sleep in this 80 degree weather....
night everyone.

pink cheeks couldn't even look him in the eyes lol
so i thought i would share my little pink cheek episode today.....
(i haven't mentioned yet but i pulled my groin muscle and it HURTS way bad)...I'm in this to win this so of course I'm still going to the gym...
Tiff and I bust out our workout schedule and realize that we aren't 100% sure what some of the things are...so we find Sean and ask him a few questions.... nice guy stops what he's doing to show us.... he see that I'm limping a little...
he stops and here is what transpires....(for those of you who know me, you will get a big kick out of this as i don't normally get embarrassed)
S-whats wrong with your leg? is it ok?
M-It's not my leg
S-ummm then are you faking the limp
M-nooooo *quiet voice* it's my groin muscle (Sean is a pretty shy guy and obviously gets embarrassed easily and blushes at the drop of a hat....of course he starts to smile and blush)
S-Oh i see
M-crap sorry crap....now I'm embarrassed(hold paper up in front of my face as i start to blush)
S-well just take it easy and only do the sitting bike so that you don't put any pressure on that area
M-*totally red* looks at Tiffany and say...man i never get embarrassed and now I'm mortified.
S-hahahahhhaahahahahaa ok have a good work out ladies...
ok so I'm totally embarrassed because i feel like i embarrassed him... to funny Tiffany got a huge kick out of it... i rarely get embarrassed but tonight was my turn....so to cover up my pink cheeks i bust out after our work out and make sure to tell him I'm bringing a camera to weigh in for TUTU day lol...he laughed :) it was a great workout
I love doing arms.... I lifted 60lbs(i think...Tiff if your reading please correct me if I'm wrong) my arms hurt a little and my GROIN HURTS........

a dawning of a new trainer................
Today is July 15th....my 3rd weigh in.... I'll give you a recap....
I started this journey on June 3rd....at 233.7lbs.
my first weigh in was 9lbs....
second weigh in wasn't to good i gained 2lbs(horrible time with my old trainer)
third weigh in (today) 5lbs lost....
YAY....now weighing in at 221.00
that's a grand total of 12.7lbs lost....only 37.3 to go till my first goal.
it was an awesome high.....(Jessica.....the sauna that was my car helped me with 4.5lbs no joke....at 4pm at the doctor's office today i was 225.5)
I FEEL AMAZING RIGHT NOW.........I'm so motivated with my new trainer..... i told him for sure i was signing up for his team next time (starting in October)
I'm determined to get most of my weight off before we go to Disneyland for Rhyan's 6th birthday....
I want to thank everyone so far for their support i can't express to you how much it means to me... i am energized and feel great....i get my new meal plans on Sunday....YAY.....
well that's really all i have to say i guess....
Thank you doesn't seem to be the right words to say, but it's all i can say....

work out wheeze.....
well we had an awesome workout again today(we will be training 2x a week now until the end of competition)
today was a cardio boot camp.... ouchhhhhh.....
stairs,mountain climbers, laps with 25 in each hand, pushing the bag(no i don't mean Tiffany was pushing me lol), lifting the weight discs....hard but awesome...
I got a sneak peak at Tiffany's meal plan...AWESOME... so much variety i am loving it...
my arms hurt pretty bad today.... Tomorrow is weigh in and the scale said that i am up another pound...:( we shall see tomorrow.... i hope it's down at least 2 lbs... that would be awesome..better if it was like 25 down lol i know that's a tall order.
we got another friend to join the gym today YAY...she's kick ass and we are very excited to have her join us... we are going to start kickboxing class YAY....i am in search of some pink kick boxing gloves oh and i just rented the Dancing with the Stars work out videos :) very excited about it.
sooooo after my work out i have a horrible wheeze (good thing i go to the doc tomorrow) can it be that my athletic asthma (from when i played sports in high school) came back? yuck i hate inhalers... oh and I'm going to beg the doctor to please take me off my blood pressure pills... it's worth a shot right :)
wish me luck... i'll keep you guys posted...
YAY for tomorrow weigh in...i hope i do the new trainer proud...

I got a sneak peak at Tiffany's meal plan...AWESOME... so much variety i am loving it...
my arms hurt pretty bad today.... Tomorrow is weigh in and the scale said that i am up another pound...:( we shall see tomorrow.... i hope it's down at least 2 lbs... that would be awesome..better if it was like 25 down lol i know that's a tall order.
we got another friend to join the gym today YAY...she's kick ass and we are very excited to have her join us... we are going to start kickboxing class YAY....i am in search of some pink kick boxing gloves oh and i just rented the Dancing with the Stars work out videos :) very excited about it.
sooooo after my work out i have a horrible wheeze (good thing i go to the doc tomorrow) can it be that my athletic asthma (from when i played sports in high school) came back? yuck i hate inhalers... oh and I'm going to beg the doctor to please take me off my blood pressure pills... it's worth a shot right :)
wish me luck... i'll keep you guys posted...
YAY for tomorrow weigh in...i hope i do the new trainer proud...

on a workout HIGH.....
Ok i think that today was the best day I've had at the gym thus far(even better than my 9lbs loss day)....today was my first official workout with my new trainer Sean....
AMAZING doesn't really sum it up... I feel so great and i feel so productive... it's a totally awesome feeling...
I never heard one discouraging word out of his mouth....It was more like your doing great, that's a good pace you have, keep up that good pace.... i respond much better to encouragement...
i think the most amazing part was when he handed me two 25lbs discs and said do a lap around the gym... when i came back he made me do a lap without....when i was done with that lap he said... That's what your going to lose...feel the difference... Oh yeah i feel the difference and it's amazing... (a quick high five)
i worked out hard i mean nasty red faced sweaty hard and i LOVED it... he pushes with encouragement....
I feel mega hyper right now...
I have a "bootcamp" style work out on Sunday at 7pm......so looking forward to it... I'm ready to shed this fat and weight. get my rock hard bod on :)
Sean has created a 5 day work out plan for me and it's amazing...no more 30-50 minutes of straight cardio.. THANK GOD....
To say that i am finally satisfied with my trainer i think is an understatement . I feel like i just won the lottery, a new meal plan, a 5 day work out plan designed for me, and a 24 hour link to my trainer i feel spoiled....
night ya'll I'm going to try to come down from my work out high :)

way to hot to work out.....
So yesterday wasn't to bad but today was brutal... way way to hot to work out... They don't have enough Fans in the gym for my taste...
Tiff and I didn't do our usual work out today because we were both to hot and uncomfortable...
Tomorrow is a new day with my new trainer... my first hour long session :) YAY....i can't wait I'm so excited.
the Chiropractor adjusted my feet and it HUUUUURRRRRRTTTTTT so much... he thinks i need Orthatics but honestly i can't afford them right now they will have to wait...end of story...
This one is just a short little blip today... I'm tired and I'm going to veg out... Nates home bbqing and i can't wait to eat... I'm starving.... i find that when i work out on an empty stomach that i appreciate my dinner much much more...
Stay Cool

Thus brings a new day.......
So lets see where did i leave off last?
oh right i just got the word on Friday about joining a new team... well Sat was very eventful.... I went to the gym at 8ish :)...went and did cardio...when i was done i went and talked to Sean to set up a meeting with him and get this rolling....again :)
We talked and i truly feel that he is the right trainer for me... very straight forward and you can tell that he LOVES his job.
I went home from the gym and had to make cupcakes for a client... We made Red White and Blue cupcakes...they turned out awesome (if you want to see them check out www.facebook.come/frostinghappens
they turned out great and it's funny because i find myself wanting to eat them less and less... (oh and Sean told me he was going to give me a weeks worth of meal plans YESSSSS)
Sunday came and i was at the gym at 7am :) i love it at that time in the morning because there aren't a lot of people there and the music is always up really loud i LOVE it....
It's also nice to see the owner there working out.. i don't exactly know how old he is but he's older than i am and he's in amazing shape.
Have i mentioned that i think he's an awesome guy for reading my email and addressing my concerns personally...I think that say a lot about him as a business owner and about how he cares about his gym member's satisfaction....Thanks again(if you are reading)
After i was done I dropped the cupcakes off with my client :) she was pleased and then i went home to rest and clean house...
I had to be back at the gym at 2 to meet with Sean to set up my program. We sat down and went over EVERYTHING... it was refreshing and eye opening to see how much i wasn't getting that i truly needed. He asked me what food i liked and didn't like and what i wanted to achieve and work on....We talked about what i wanted to get out of not only the biggest loser but my overall need or want. I told him that i would like to be in a single digit pair of pants and he said good go out and buy a pair right now... whatever kind of pants you want and hang them up where you can see them... look at them everyday and i guarantee you'll never lose sight of your over all goal.. i thought this was really a cool idea... so as soon as i can afford it I'm going to do just that :)
I feel totally supported by my trainer now which is wonderful.. he's totally focused which makes me feel focused... we have an upper body crash course(because we are a bit behind) on Wednesday :)
So, so far things are going good... he's going to be working up a meal plan for me for a full week and said that he's not going to be writing a dinner meal for me that he's going to be putting recipe's in for me to cook and try instead of just giving me a generic dinner plan.. i think this is exciting he's also going to make me a shopping list... how fantastic is that? i love it...
well i feel re-energized and ready to face this head on now... wish me luck (again)

YAY....it's a good good day.
I'm so excited to report that i OFFICIALLY have a new team :) I am now on Team Sean :)
I'm so super excited.... I guess that my letter to the Owner really made a dent... That's right my LETTER to the OWNER.... yeah Zach the man who runs biggest loser asked Sean to contact me as i was in need of a new team and I'm so glad he did....
However i will say i didn't answer the phone...Nate was going to the Chiro so i said will you stop at the desk and see what they wanted(i thought it was Sean Fooks)...he said sure i will :)
So he stopped at the desk and actually talked to the Sean that called me (Sean Westbrook)...he said oh I'm the Sean that called her. I was asked to call to see what her biggest loser goals and wants are and to see if we can assist her in anyway....
Nathan talked to him for about 45 minutes.... Nathan told him everything that has been going on the good and the bad and he was shocked to say the least... No one had told him why he was calling me other then to find out where my focus was....
Here's what he told my husband
"she's welcome to join my team..i will start completely over with her and comp her a free session for the one she used with Amber, i will give her new meal plans(notice the s) and if she is still wanting to the biggest loser i will help her achieve her goal"
AWESOME.... I'm so so so so so so so jazzed...I cannot wait to start fresh and have my first work out... It's a small team of 4 soon to be 5 and I'm perfectly ok with that... hell I'm so excited about that... that means he will have more time for me :)
F You Amber :)
I'll show you that i can do this without YOU.....
Here's to team Sean....

Dark Days......
first let me apologize....this one will be long and this one will be very very angry.....with that said here is how my day went.....
i got the the gym and got adjusted by the Chiropractor...ran to get changed for our training session(Tiffany and I's) i pull my stuff out of my bag to find that my water bottle had leaked all over my work out clothing... my shorts namely... but i sucked it up and put my shorts on....not in the best of moods from having wet shorts i trudged along out of the locker room with Tiffany following me....Amber(the trainer) meets up with us and says so i talked to Zach today (the head biggest loser guy) and he said that if you are going to be training together without purchasing buddy session that you both have to sign off on your sessions...(inset a bunch of curse words in my head right now and i think my head might pop off I'm so pissed) i said well forget it I'm not going to give up one of my sessions for that. She said well your still getting trained and i said yeah that's not what we were offered... I looked at Tiff and said have fun doing your session can i have your keys I'm going to call Nate to come get me....she walked off to talk to the manager who said hang tight (I didn't follow Tiffany for fear that i would cuss someone at because at this point i have wet shorts and am super duper pissed)
for those of you who follow this blog you will know that over time I've felt increasingly let down by the program....a lot of things have not been followed through with thus far...
Tiffany comes back to me and says it's taken care of...we can work out together.. i said for just today though right (i read the guys lips that she was talking to) and she said yes just for today... so Amber standing there and smirking pissed me off more... i looked at her and said honestly that's not fair because that's not what you offered us. she said when i said in the beginning and then again last week... she said well i got in trouble for doing that... to which i said i really don't give a shit nor is that my problem... you offered us buddy training for our training we get through biggest loser and you should have to honor that... she looked at me with a snotty look on her face and said SORRY... but that's not going to happen... i looked at Tiffany and said I'm out of here I'm not training with her. that's fucked up and they should have to honor what she offered (in front of her... i told you that i was super duper angry)
i walked into the locker room and changed and left.
When Tiffany was done with her training session she text me and said where are you i said in the play area with Rhyan... she walked up to me and said i was told to give you a message and here it is
"i know that you don't like me and I've had other team members tell me that, so i talked to the GM and he is allowing you to change teams"
insert my brains exploding all over the play area because i seriously think my head popped off... So now I'm officially team less and have officially pissed 150 bucks away...
ok lets break it down.
if i do change teams because that stupid bitch doesn't want to work with me anymore then i will only get 2 training sessions with the new trainer for the remainder of the session(it ends Sept 2nd)
and i will be on a team that i know no one... none of my friends will be on it...
Nathan said screw it you were doing just fine without her before but now I'm mad because that means i lost out on 150 bucks which i didn't have in the first place...
So if i stay on her team and don't switch (which i have the option of) then she will treat me like crap because she's immature, i still only have 2 training sessions and some boot camps(provided i actually go)
I'm at the point of mad that I'm in tears and about to scream at someone... so did i say something to management no because whats to say at this point... i want my money back? they wont give it.... Oh btw did i tell you that she is talking to other people about me... and actually thinks they wont tell me?
seriously?
well i will admit that i fell off the meal plan waggon tonight.. I'm a feelings eater so yep had a really shitty dinner and loved every minute of it...
i feel very let down and very discouraged and very given up on... i feel like i have zero support and no where to turn...
i am truly on my own now...
So i guess i just keep doing what I'm doing... working out every day on my own and trying my hardest to lose this weight that now i feel is hopeless to lose.
Jess wanna share your cookies with me :) i could really use them right now.....
night ya'll

uppers and downers
today is a down day probably because I'm in so much pain from boot camp...
I'm back to hating my meal plan and I'm just bored with eating the same food every day...
why can't i have pizza once in a while and not have to kill myself in the gym the next day?
i feel like I'm giving up all the stuff i love... My kid isn't getting any sleep because I'm in the gym all the time and people who go to the gym less then me are losing more then me :( i feel like I'm killing myself at the gym for nothing....
even with my KICK ASS girls... i still feel blue... I feel like I'm failing and i hate that feeling....
I'm still bitter from the other day with the dick trainer.... I'm angry that my trainer doesn't care honestly care about us.... i just am mad that i keep gaining yet I'm doing everything like I'm suppose to be...
my body is getting older and it hurts more but not in a good way...Nathan says I'm building muscle but yeah ok that's fine but it's not the biggest muscle builder it's the biggest loser and right now I'm not getting smaller I'm getting heavier :(
I mean i wish you all could feel my rock hard legs that giggle a little and my rock hard arms that have some flying squirrels...
some days i feel very alone even though i know I'm not i just feel alone... no one truly understands how i feel.
Sorry this post isn't awww inspiring or happy go luck...
it's just a down day...
Rhyan's having ear surgery on Friday and so since i will have a 4 day weekend i'm going to start a cleanse :) wish me luck....

ok a little behind......
Ok sorry I didn't post over the weekend...It was a busy weekend.
Friday Tiffany and I went to the gym for a training session(buddy training) with our trainer.....It was a good work out however the attitude was a little thick....
First off i think it must be a trainer thing because there is another trainer Ali(a guy) who was training in the same section that we were training in and he had the nerve to walk this trainee over by where we were training...no big deal... until he opened his mouth... he looked at me smirked and then looked at his trainee and said and i quote
"training too hard for you? I hear you can't hack it and threw up last week after boot camp" :( I was devastated and of course my trainer said NOTHING....oh wait scratch that she told me to cuss him out...ummm I'm mean as most of you know but as some of you may not know i get very quiet when I'm super duper mad and Tiffany said that i was the most quiet she has ever seen me in 3 years.... He proceeded to harass me and make smart ass comments the entire time we were working out... i was very crushed that a. a trainer made fun of me and b. my trainer didn't stick up for me. again i worked my ass off at a training session until i felt like throwing up... so Tiff and i went to get protein shakes (a peanut butter cup mmmmmm) after drinking that i felt much better.
we left the gym and headed to my house to make cupcakes for Keyta's baby shower......They turned out super cute. so needless to say it took forever and we didnt' finish until after midnight.
Then it was up at 6 to be at the gym by 7AM .......I think i need some Ginko because to my surprise Miss Christina was there waiting for us :) i had totally forgot that we planned to meet up :) it was an awesome surprise...She's awesome to work out with and keeps me motivated :)
We did cardio and then we went to the big boy section and lifted weights and had a great time.
Sunday is usually my day to take off but we had boot camp tonight....Thank god Christina's daughter is willing to keep Rhyan entertained or else i wouldn't be able to go....it was a great work out but hard for sure...Yes again i still finished boot camp feeling like i was going to barf but not as bad as last week.
i loved boot camp until the end.... Our last activity was doing planks....for those of you reading this that may not know what that is it looks like a push up but instead of going up and down you just stay in the middle on your elbow and keeping your butt level with your tummy... it's hard... we (my team) the ten of us were doing planks and not everyone was doing them how the trainer wanted and she actually started getting pissy with us... yelling and saying that we would be doing planks until everyone got their shit together and did them right. i did a plank for a minute and started to cry just when she said....
"oh i give up on you people, you at the biggest pains in the asses ever"
wow really? i mean i can appreciate the pushing you and training hard but come on... we are all there for a reason and it's not because we are skilled and a professional like you... get it most of us are heavy and over weight or at best out of shape (except for Monica lol she just ran a 13 mile marathon in 2 hours... you rock girly) but I'm over that i know that is just her being a you know what :)
Here comes the GOOD stuff..... now when we are on a weight loss program none of us want to gain...well i have gained... yep 3lbs since last Thursday....but here is where the good is... i did a body fat test today and i have lost almost 3% body fat so those lbs i have gained is more then likely muscle :) YAY....
it's a gain which sucks but at least it's an ok gain.... 3% body fat sounds so little but it's a huge accomplishment for me and I'm proud.
I just keep plugging away and reaching for me goal... I'm going to start a cleanse on Friday...did you know that at any given time you can have anywhere from 10-20lbs of undigested or written food in your intestines.... especially if you eat red meat... that's so nasty... So I'm going to cleanse it out of me for the next 28 days... that should help with my weight loss and my digestive issues :)
well I'm off to bed... for those of you interested i sort of got a new meal plan... she changed part of my meal plan... instead of tuna i now get to eat a chicken wrap :) i made one for dinner after boot camp and they are soooooooooooooooooooooooooo yummy :) so it's a nice change...
Friday Tiffany and I went to the gym for a training session(buddy training) with our trainer.....It was a good work out however the attitude was a little thick....
First off i think it must be a trainer thing because there is another trainer Ali(a guy) who was training in the same section that we were training in and he had the nerve to walk this trainee over by where we were training...no big deal... until he opened his mouth... he looked at me smirked and then looked at his trainee and said and i quote
"training too hard for you? I hear you can't hack it and threw up last week after boot camp" :( I was devastated and of course my trainer said NOTHING....oh wait scratch that she told me to cuss him out...ummm I'm mean as most of you know but as some of you may not know i get very quiet when I'm super duper mad and Tiffany said that i was the most quiet she has ever seen me in 3 years.... He proceeded to harass me and make smart ass comments the entire time we were working out... i was very crushed that a. a trainer made fun of me and b. my trainer didn't stick up for me. again i worked my ass off at a training session until i felt like throwing up... so Tiff and i went to get protein shakes (a peanut butter cup mmmmmm) after drinking that i felt much better.
we left the gym and headed to my house to make cupcakes for Keyta's baby shower......They turned out super cute. so needless to say it took forever and we didnt' finish until after midnight.
Then it was up at 6 to be at the gym by 7AM .......I think i need some Ginko because to my surprise Miss Christina was there waiting for us :) i had totally forgot that we planned to meet up :) it was an awesome surprise...She's awesome to work out with and keeps me motivated :)
We did cardio and then we went to the big boy section and lifted weights and had a great time.
Sunday is usually my day to take off but we had boot camp tonight....Thank god Christina's daughter is willing to keep Rhyan entertained or else i wouldn't be able to go....it was a great work out but hard for sure...Yes again i still finished boot camp feeling like i was going to barf but not as bad as last week.

rock hard legs oh yeah
well we meet again :) today is a much better day (except for a little irritation which i will explain)
Went to the gym, started off with seeing the Chiropractor(for those of you whom fallow me on facebook, i have decided not to take Rhyan to see him) got adjusted and he actually made me hurt today :(
then i was off to walk my butt off. with no more double chin left i guess my butt is next lol or my flying squirrels :)
walked for 30 minutes at a 10% at the max incline :) i love walking on the treadmill...
man was i soaked afterwards.....
here comes my irritation.....as you know I'm not having the best time with my trainer....I don't feel that she truly cares about her team members(well some of us anyways)
Today she walks up to us while we are on the treadmill and starts giving us "training" tips... this irritated me because A. she was standing around doing nothing but yet i couldn't get a training session until tomorrow with her, B.she doesn't really care enough to help me anything else such as giving me a new meal plan....almost 4 weeks of the same food is getting to me.
I think i have a minor underlining issue with her because in the beginning she was going to see what every one's schedule was like and then determine what day she would do boot camps... Nope that didn't happen she just chose to them at 6pm on Sunday evening....have i mentioned that the gym is at the Auburn Super Mall and i live in Tacoma? yeah it's not the quickest of drives... and my hubby works on Sunday nights and the gym daycare isn't open on Sunday nights....So what am i to do with Rhyan?
Seriously and then when i say I'm not sure i can make it she gives me attitude?
really?
this 9lbs i have lost has been courtesy of me...not her... I've had one training with her and one boot camp....all the other days I've been in the gym was me...
oh well....by the way they hung up our fat pictures in the hall at the gym for EVERYONE to see :(
ok night night readers :)

a new day.....ok Drama Queen.
ok so first things first.... Sorry that yesterday i was a tad bit of a drama queen... i know (for those of you that know me) shocking right hahahahahaha..............Yesterday wasn't totally about the gym....I had a few other issues i was dealing with....I just blamed the gym because it was easy
ok... So yes i went to the gym today and worked out with Miss Christina :) love her....she's so fun to work out with and she's an AWESOME listener.....she lets me bitch at her and really listens :) (i know your reading this... so Thank you!)
In just three short weeks this program has changed so much for me....I am no longer "competing", I'm also no longer a "team".....sometimes the way we begin things is much different from how we continue to do things....Not that this is a bad thing it's just sometimes the way things roll out... our perspectives change.
I am happy to report that I can now walk on the treadmill for 45 minutes straight and keep my heart rate at a level beat and i dont hyperventilate...this is very exciting to me.
I have also decided to do the next biggest loser with a male trainer to get a perspective on the difference.
i'm still fighting................I hope that my posts are at least somewhat inspiring... I've been told they are funny so thats good... Honestly i just want to be able to tell people what i'm really going through.
I'm a gal who has to lose 100lbs or more to be able to stick around on this earth for my darling daughter....I'm inspired by her on a daily basis and so thankful that she has inspired my wonderful husband to work out also....
good all my readers :)

the lul
So today it feels like the world is crashing down on me..after my tragic barfing episode at boot camp i took Monday off(my legs hurt so bad and i really didn't feel so hot)...I called in and canceled my private session(my trainer was none too happy and actually got some attitude about it.) WHATEVER....i'm kind of over her... she's not super motivating....
So i'm in a lul... I worked out alone today which sucked ass(well except for the ten minutes i walked with Monica :) )
I'm having one of those days where it feels like everyone and everything is out to get me.
Sorry this is a short and not to inspiring post... maybe i will have more to report tomorrow....i'm going to make tiffany do pulls ups with me in the big boy section :)
think happy thoughts for me i feel like i'm cracking today....

BOOT CAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today is Sunday June 20th (Father's Day....Happy Father's Dad for any of my Dad friends reading this)
We arrived home from camping around 3ish so we got the stuff unloaded and made a bite to eat got a shower and decided that YES i was going to attend our first boot camp...
it would have been super easy for me to just stay home but i decided i needed to go.
I made the trek and was early so i decided to do some cardio while i waited... Amber(my trainer) saw me doing cardio and was pleased that i made it.
8 of us showed up out of like 15 i think... COME ON TEAM SERIOUSLY?
we started off doing arms doing weights that looks like a cow bell, doing the strap pull ups, doing push ups, all while rotating...then we did more activities(I'm not sure what they are lol) there was sprints, sled pulls(i like these), the HUGE tire, bear crawls, lunges, lunges with waits (this is when it started to go down hill for me)
after these two rounds of activities i could tell i was getting dizzy, tired, heart was up......Amber looked at me and said "you ok, you gonna throw up?" i said yep i think i just might...
then comes the kicker....ABS....yep ABS. (This is when i started to cry, i had no control over it)
sit ups, planks, sideways sit ups, and v sits.... after we were done i sat on the matt and the room was spinning, Christina brought me water and i just sat there...after everyone left i managed to get up and shake the whole way to the locker room.... i was perched up against the locker when i just hit me... i ran to the bathroom stall and yep you guessed it... tossed my cookies... and cried....
this was really a humiliating day.... of course my lovely friend Christina stayed with me and got me cold rags and walked me to my car....
wanna know the worst part besides my embarrassed ego?
the scale said i gained 6lbs since Thursday....how the hell is that possible... Amber said we will figure it out tomorrow (Monday i have a private session with Amber)
hopefully tomorrow will be better...
even though i had a rough evening I'm proud of myself for actually going to boot camp and making it through the entire boot camp...
by the way i flipped that huge tire with a partner about 20 times.... :)
night night everyone...I'm taking my bruised ego to bed.

discourage setting in.....
So in a few days(Thursday) we have our first seminar and first weight in after the kick off party...it's been almost two weeks....So far I'm getting a little discouraged. All I have been doing is the bikes,the elliptical or the treadmill.....I feel like we were offered all of these things when we joined the Biggest Loser but so far we haven't seen or received any of them. I know that the weight loss is not something that can be promised that's up to me however what was promised to me is the following
-weekly team work out sessions
-a meal plan(so far i have gotten 1 day worth so seriously for three weeks I've been eating the same thing EVERY DAY)
-4 private training sessions(the trainer has not scheduled them yet)
i feel like my 150.00 that i paid to join the biggest loser has so far been a waste...i know the weight loss is worth it but if this is the program and it's not going to deliver the other items it promises then i think it's not worth it. I can go to the gym (and aside from last weekend) I've been in it almost every day and i can workout myself but isn't that why i signed up for biggest loser because i needed the extra help?
I hate to rant and rave but i really do feel a little let down by the program thus far.....
I have decided that I'm going to try the spin cycle class :) it looks super duper hard but i am confident that i can make it through.....the trainer for the class is an older man maybe in his 60's but he's tough and he is motivating... i like that....
I'm happy to report that even though i didn't watch what i ate last weekend(two parties for Rhyan) i only gained .8lbs.... which I'm sure i worked off with the 45 minutes of cardio i did tonight.
I'm taking tomorrow off to go and visit a dear friend who is in town with her youngest daughter seeing specialists at children's hospital for seizures. then it's back to the gym Wednesday and Thursday and then I'm taking the weekend off to go camping and hiking.....
so today when i stepped on the scale i was 230.8.... I'm happy to report that Nathan has also lost 4lbs...
Ok I'm off to surf the net and go to bed....
by the way i think the adjustments are working... i stopped taking my heart burn meds a week ago and yes i have a little heart burn but it's no where near has hot or painful as it use to be untreated... so i believe the adjustments are working :) YAY
-weekly team work out sessions
-a meal plan(so far i have gotten 1 day worth so seriously for three weeks I've been eating the same thing EVERY DAY)
-4 private training sessions(the trainer has not scheduled them yet)

I'm so jazzed. i go back tomorrow :)
So now for the juicey stuff :) so i started this journey "officially on the 3rd... weighing in at 233(and some change lol) when i signed up at the gym i was 234.7lbs....So today when i stepped on the scale at the gym i was weighing in at 231 even.... YAY... little victories are the best...
I got Just Dance for the WII and Oh how funny and fun... Rhyan was cracking me while she was dancing with me. it's a good work out though it made me totally sweat and i saw some of the same moved as the ZUMBA class so maybe if i learn some of the moves i can take the class again and actually keep up?

zumba.......wow.....
ok People when they say that dancing to work out is fun they must have been smoking something...don't get me wrong it was fun and I sweat my butt off....the trainer was very into it but I had a hard time following the steps sometimes. I was told that if i go more often i will get the hang of it... I hope so. I sure was drenched afterwards.. I will say this... I absolutely need to stretch no matter what....ok here's how it went down.
I got to the gym at 5pm to get x-rays done on my spine as I'm going to start seeing the Chiropractor to get my thyroid back in order. After I was done with that I went up to the women only section and walked on the treadmill at a 13% incline for 35 minutes. then I sat on a broken bike lol and peddled the last ten minutes until Zumba started....Zumba was an HOUR....man I was mushy after....I obviously lead with my right side of my body because the calf muscle in my right leg kept getting a charlie horse. I have no idea why since i drink enough water to drowned a fish hahahahaha.
My trainer did say today that she was so pleased and impressed that i have been in the gym almost every single day since i signed up. that made me feel so awesome...
I'm proud of myself today because i tried something new...I really want to try the spin cycle class next..
I have also gotten Nathan to sign up and go to the gym he did almost two hours of cardio today.. I'm very proud of him :)
another day closer to my goal...I'm totally open to work out suggestions as well...I got Just Dance for the WII i was told it's an awesome work out. I want to try Flirty Girl( i know that sounds lame right?)
ok I'm off to bed.. I'm getting up at 6:30 to go work out at the gym...I'm actually really enjoying working out(i think this sounds funny coming from a fat chick)
let me know if you want to work out with me.....My trainer "Amber" has free month long passes and two free training sessions.. it's only 19 a month and that includes all classes and one training a month...:)
they are also open 24 hours a day :)
I got to the gym at 5pm to get x-rays done on my spine as I'm going to start seeing the Chiropractor to get my thyroid back in order. After I was done with that I went up to the women only section and walked on the treadmill at a 13% incline for 35 minutes. then I sat on a broken bike lol and peddled the last ten minutes until Zumba started....Zumba was an HOUR....man I was mushy after....I obviously lead with my right side of my body because the calf muscle in my right leg kept getting a charlie horse. I have no idea why since i drink enough water to drowned a fish hahahahaha.
My trainer did say today that she was so pleased and impressed that i have been in the gym almost every single day since i signed up. that made me feel so awesome...

Let the games begin......
(this picture was taken a few months ago.....)Today June 3rd is the day I start to change my life.....
I joined the Biggest Loser at Vision Quest in Auburn.
My trainers name is Amber(however i can't afford to do anymore sessions beyond the initial 3)
We have a pretty big team and I'm sad to report that just about everyone has signed up to do extra sessions with Amber.....yeah i still can't afford it....
Today was the Kick Off Party....We had two special guests in attendance. Suzi and Matt Hoover from Season 2 of the (real) biggest loser..OMG they were awesome and so inspiring. Could she seriously be any more cute :) I'm super excited they are going to attend one of my teams boot camps :) YAY....*side note....I was and am a tad bit star struck*
We have to set goals and I have set mine at 50lbs for this session. My over all goal is 110lbs. It's a lot but it is achievable. This biggest loser session is 90 days and to be honest right now I feel more alone then I ever have.
I have hit a minor mental road block tonight as I am feeling very alone. I feel very overwhelmed and unsure. Chalk this up to me being needy as some have pointed out.
My spouse has signed up for my gym also so I'm sure he will be going to work out with me on the weekends and Thursday's and Friday's :)
because I'm at such a disadvantage being unable to pay for extra sessions i am going to try to go 5 days a week. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday*biggest loser day*, Friday (for zumba class) and Saturday. So hopefully going 5 days a week and doing the team boot camps will help me achieve this 50lbs I have to lose.
Now I'm sure you are all (if anyone is reading this at all) wonderful just how much i weigh....well at first weigh in I ring in at 233.4lbs on my tiny frame that leaves me at 46% body fat....wow... i just admitted that out loud... but this is all part of my journey and i want you all to share it with me. Maybe this is how i will get my support.
I will try to post a blog every day and will absolutely post a blog every other Thursday after weight in (June 17,July 1,15,29,August 12,26,and the final on September 2nd)
Did i mention that the winner takes home 500 bucks and a start at better health?
Wish me luck....
