January 14 - The Biggest Loser? Me? I Think Not!

And here’s why! Well I’ll babble a little first – I know you guys are always waiting on the edge of your seats to read my rants haha. Right? Uh huh! J

Well let’s see. There’s been less blog entries. Less workouts. Less buzz. No water ingested. No pics of the wonderfully healthy meals that I’ve been making. Some cream cheese icing left over from Christmas eaten (yes almost the whole tub over two days – that’s 70 calories per tablespoon). Oh dear.

And…da da daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! It’s Biggest Loser Weigh-In day! 

Unfortunately, it’s also Challenge day. Last week I had a terrific weigh-in. But alas, I came in last for the challenge. I’m not too sure why. There’s no bloody way I can do football runs faster than that. Anyway, the main thing was I had a great result in the weigh in if you remember my previous postings.

So today I had to do more of those damned football runs, ugh. But I came in first today. Not sure what I did differently. My comments from Bob or whatever the fuck his name is were he was particularly impressed with the results of my challenge.

Weigh in time. Booooo! Normally I look forward to those days. Today I was dreading it. With all I listed above I knew I was not going to have much of a positive result. In fact, I was possibly facing elimination tonight. I came in under the yellow line along with Drea and I barely made it...I beat that bitch out. 

So this week I have to step my game back up. Back to being anal. Back to being the annoying rah-rah girl that I am.

But guess what? Something has occurred to me this week and it’s something quite fascinating. Something wonderful! Right from day 1, my daughter Kaitlin was changing her food habits right along with me. For two whole weeks we were on her about how things were going to change, and they were changing DRASTICALLY after the Christmas season. She seemed ok with it when we kept nagging her. And I expected her to put up quite a fight along the way.

No fight. In fact, she ASKS for the healthy stuff all the time. Oranges coming outta her ass whole because she devours them! She asks for vegetables on a regular basis. Bananas regularly too. Peppers! Oh yes, peppers. She even TRIED spinach! I had no idea that all this time I was setting such a bad example for my child!

I’m so proud of Kaitlin! The picture below is of the snack that she requested! She asked for oranges and I asked if she could maybe have a vegetable instead. She said, how about both? Can I have some red pepper with it? I said great. I didn’t tell her that we were out of red pepper lol. Handed it over with green pepper, explained it when she questioned me and she ate almost all of them.

I may not be the Biggest Loser on my Wii game, but I’m the biggest winner when it comes to improving my daughter’s health and habits this month! I'm a positive role model for her hooray (well she doesn't know about the frosting binge so we'll leave that in the vault)!
