I didn't post last week's weigh in, mostly because I was bugged! I know the way I was eating did not deserve a weight loss, but it still stinks to see it on the scale. I actually gained 3 lbs. last week. This week I did better in the eating department, but still not 100% the way that I should be. I didn't lose weight again this week .. however, my body fat % has dropped by over 4%. I think that is quite significant, but I still need to lose lbs as well.
Yesterday I went to a taping of The Biggest Loser. For some strange reason they were here in Laveen, of all places! lol They were here "picking up" two of their contestants for this season. So, there were about 200 of us (give or take .. but a lot less people there than I had expected) that got to be there, meet a lot of the celebs from the show (ie, Ali, Betty Sue, Sione, Bob, Dr. H etc.) We also got free Biggest Loser t-shirts. They had 3 people who wanted to be contestants. They had their first weigh in there in front of us and then they had their first challenge to earn their way onto the show. They had to do a 1 mile run. The first two across the finish line got into a limo and headed for the Biggest Loser ranch. They had all of us (or those that wanted to) run with them. It was 90 degrees when we did the run. It was so stinkin hot! I don't do well running in the heat. I ran the mile faster than I usually do. (13 min.) but I ended up with a migraine later in the afternoon :)
I ended up in a bit of a predicament; they gave the contestants a head start and then we were not allowed to pass them until a certain point in the race (probably about 1/4 mile) I ended up passing all of them, but just barely passed the first contestant to finish (Jessica) a few hundred yards before the finish line. I wanted to get a good amount ahead of her so that I was not on camera running in with her. However, right at the end she got a spurt of adrenaline, I am assuming and sprinted into the finish line. I couldn't stay ahead of her, so I finished right at the same time as she did. I am not excited about seeing myself on TV running! :(
Overall, it was a fun day. I am glad that I went ... migraine and all! :)

I'm realizing how important the eating part is, so what do you eat?!? Mostly I mean breakfasts and lunches since my dinners aren't too bad (if I can control the portion sizes ...). I go to eat healthy and other than a ham sandwich, I can't think of anything to eat!
ReplyDeleteI'll watch for you next season on the show -- even if you didn't want to be there. :) Maybe they had a close-up on her and ignored you altogether ...
