Woo Hoo

Today may be evil, but I'm down by 2.33%

Today is Evil

Fellow BLOBers, may you be delivered from the temptation that is the ubiquitous giant bowl of Halloween candy. Every time I walk past the reception for my office, there it is, filled with miniature-sized sugary goodness. I got a cup of coffee, and some kind co-worker had left out Halloween cupcakes for the taking. I know that when I get home tonight, a huge bowl of peanut butter cups and M&Ms is waiting to ambush me, lurking by the front door.

Do they do this in Canada? Can I move there fast enough?

ugh.

Fellow BLOBs-

Having a tough time staying motivated today. Had to run to the 24 hr vets at 6am with a swollen dog face. Two shots and $157 later he is fine but I am BEAT! I was hoping to get a few more hours of sleep after the baby ate at 6am. no chance. So I am asking you all to start bragging on your success so far so I can get my post baby butt outside and exercising!

Thanks B.L.O.B's

As the rain pounded on our windows this morning, I wanted to stay in bed and not go to the gym. But knowing that my fellow competitors were probably working out, I reluctantly put my gym clothes on and headed to the gym. I had a great workout and was so glad I went.

Thanks all for the motivation.

gym buddies

So the problem with going to the gym close to home/work etc? Seeing the creepy guy you had to kick off your massage table over a year ago! despite that horifying experience he was on his way out and I managed 45 mins on the bike with motivation to gain muscle to kick his a$% the next time I see him :)

Biggest Losers or Bust: aka B.L.O.B

After a good start yesterday (healthy breakfast, lots of water and a brisk 45 minute walk carrying my 3 month old baby) I was stricken with a killer migraine. I mean bad! After ridding myself of all stomach contents and being unfit to injest more, I am now down 2 - yes 2 lbs!
So the lessson here?
Get real sick and lose real weight. Hate to say it but my sorority sisters were on to something...

Going to buy myself some big pants today, cant stand the maternity ones for even one more day.

(although I am kidding about the being sick and losing weight, bulemia is no laughing matter, no matter how small the jeans you are wearing are when you are not laughing.)

Programs

So what does everyone think about sharing their program details - or is that like trade secrets?

GAME ON

Ok - So, I just figured out we can all make our own posts to the blog, so I just want to say....I'm going to WIN!!! First, I have a live-in motivator (Badass Brian). Second, after seeing my before pic, I have a super strong desire to have a TV-worthy makeover. Wait until you all see my transformation...
