Oh my!! What a great beginning to the show when the blue won a trip to Vegas baby!! They got a chance to hang out and have a fun guy time. Did you see that all of the guys ended up getting tattoos? How cool!! Now, me on the other hand would not have done that. The marking is so permanent and if you don’t want that on the bod your are suck.
Did you see that emotional elimination for the blue team? I was crying myself for Mark. He had only lost 1 pound and was not the biggest loser. At first I thought they would have voted off the other guy. I forget his name, but if they did that would not have been fair because he lost a significant amount of weight. Then mark also did not want to leave his brother either. The entire team was in tears as to was to decided. In the long run Mark decided it was he that needed to get vote off because he will not be dropping the big pounds any more and it would be beneficial to the team to have him off. So he went home.
What a admirable person Mark is. he put himself last in order to help his team in the long run. Now, that is what this game is all about and how it should be played. Way to go Mark!! Well, next week should be pretty interesting as what happened. They clued in that there may not be any team no more, so we will see. Until then, have a great day
I was watching t.v. the other night and then a Jenny Craig commercial came on and I was surprised to see the beautiful Queen Latifah on the commercial!! I am so excited for her to be making her own new weight loss journey. Personally I think she is a ready beautiful inside and out because the confidence to shows to the public eye. Just imagine how she will through her weight loss and reaching her goal. That is going to be something interesting to follow. Check out the new here!!
To believe in yourself and to follow your dreams, to have goals in life and a drive to succeed, and to surround yourself with the things and the people that make you happy - this is success!
I have to say last week was a great week. I got in the exercise I want and I am seeing the results in my cloths and scale. Today I hopped on and saw a good number and I can’t wait to keep progressing to my goal. I am also proud of myself because I ate healthy at work and instead of taking a break in the breakroom and sitting on my butt for 1 hour I decided to get up and go walking at a near by outdoor outlet mall since the weather was beautiful today. I believe the weather was almost 80 degrees here, so I had a blast with my brisk walk and window shopping at clothes and shoes.
Later today after work I returned home to watch some of the red carpet events with the Oscars and then decided to complete my 30 minute workout with Jari’s DVD. I am tired as hell, but I feel good! I also feel good because the family order pizza hut and I did not eat one piece instead I ate my healthy choice entree. It was one of the new cafe steamers collection called Merlot beef. It was so yummy and the beef was ever so tender!! I will be buying that again!!
In a bit I will get ready to curl up in the bed and read for a little. I am reading the Ice Queen by Alice Hoffman. It is a very interesting fictional book and it keeping me intrigued to read more and I better because the girls and I will be meeting to discuss this book this weekend. Yikes!! I better read FAST!!!
Are you all ready to get ripped and toned for summer? I have been using this workouts for a weeks and I am seeing some nice results to my body. Now this workout will really get you sore, but all worth it and the end. The DVD is called Get Ripped 1000, by Jari Love and I love it! I found a clip from youtube for you to check out.
So, what did you all think of this episode? To me it kind of dragged a bit. It was great that they all got to go home and see their families and also see how they would have to incorporate their new lifestyle at home. Everyone seemed to do very well at home except for Paul. Did you see how much food he eat at that restaurant? Oh my gosh!! If Jillian knew she would have had a fit. I was just thinking the weigh in silly, you have to go back!
As a result, of this the weigh in for the black team was not so great. The blue team really rocked the scales did you see the numbers? 11lbs, 10lbs, 16lbs, and etc!! Sending the black team to the elimination room for real! I bet Jillian was so mad!!
Later, it was decided that Paul goes home. He kind of deserved it, but. . . I thought that decision was stupid on the black teams part. Yes, he strewed up, but this is also a game. Paul is one of the heavy weights there that can continue to lose bigs numbers in addition to Bernie and this will help the black team out of elimination. The girls will not lose as much which means the black team could potentially see elimination again next week, you know what I mean? I truly thought they should have sent one of the girls home, but it is what it is.
Next week will be pretty interesting to see what happened, but until then. .
What am I up to this week? So far this is the best week that I am really focused moving toward the 160 mark before the end of March. So far I have worked out 3 days this week and I will add in workouts for today and Saturday to keep up the great work. May plan for today is to:
Finish the second half (30min) of Jari Love’s Get Ripped 1000. Let me tell you I did the first 30 minutes on Tuesday and my butt is literally sore as you know what, but it feels good. I just hope my left knee is feeling a little better because I was playing around with my son earlier this week and moved it the wrong way and now it hurts a bit to do anything on the step bench.
10 minutes on the elliptical
30 minute walk/jog with my friend later this evening before Lipstick Jungle comes, lol.
I will continue to hydrate myself with the good old h2o. believe it is important especially for the skin. Did I tell you I got a new cut and color last week Tuesday and I tried a new spritz by Matrix and it literally broke out my skin and left it dry and scaly? So, now I am using any hydrating skin product from Sephora that I can get my hands on. So far I am loving Murad’s Resurgence Renewing Cleansing Cream, Bliss Steep Clean Mask, Cosmedicine’s Hydra Healer for night, and Ole Henriksen’s Walnut Complexion Scrub from Sephora.com (it’s great to work there because I can sample anything!!). Skin feel so smooth!!!
Eat balance meals in order to avoid cravings.
I am so glad there is not any celebrating of the sort with food right now because I need this time to get my mind set on eating healthy. So when the time does come for a celebrations like Easter I will be in the right mindset to eat and enjoy but with portion control too. Well I am off.
By the way, did I tell you all I started to author another blog? I love fashion and that is my background. I have a degree and in my twenties I worked in the industry for a well before having our son and all. I miss it so much, not the craziness and fast pace from the industry, but being immersed in whats going on and the in’s and out’s of fashion. The name of the blog is called fashioniche.com. There I will talk about the latest in fashion trends, news from the runway, beauty tips, designer looks for less and celebrity fashions too. Feel Free to stop by and say hi!!
Well, I will be off to veg out on fashion and I will return to talk about the biggest loser too. I saw the show and. . . I will tell you later. I hope you all have a great day and just think its all most FRIDAY!!
My thoughts before a big race are usually pretty simple. I tell myself: Get out of the blocks, run your race, stay relaxed. If you run your race, you’ll win… channel your energy. Focus.

Okay, I seriously need a DVR! My husband had very good intentions of recording the show while I has at my hair appointment at the salon that night. When I got ready to watch the show on Friday morning I noticed something odd on the corner of the screen while the video was playing. I saw the ABC logo?? I am like what? WHAT? ABC? Oh no! My hubby set the VCR to record the wrong channel. So guess who did see the show last week? Pick me!!
So I found myself on NBC.com to read and watch the recap of the show. That is so cool that the black team won the weigh in again!! Now I see why Bob left the room when his blue team lost the weigh in. Was it that upsetting? I guess it could have been as a trainer heck it competition. It looks like Trent was sent home too. How come I knew that if the blue team was up for elimination again he would go? Funny.
That was so cool for Jillian to bring in her mom to help clear the demons that was holding back her team members mentally. I think if you can get to the root of whatever is holding you back for achieving any goals that you are trying to reach you will have success. That is why I love her training style so much. I have recently signed up for Jillian Michael’s free profile on her weight loss program and let me tell you she sends daily news of encouragement and training tips too. You have to check it out. I love it!! Even after losing weight I still like to keep a lot of resources to increase my knowledge and keep me in check with my healthy weight too.
Well, this week I will not miss this show for sure. I have no appointments and my little one loves to watch the show with mommy too. It kind of cute to see a 4 year old exercise or try to jump rope, but at least he is learning at a young age how important exercise is.
I am off to veg out on some fashion fun and then really workout today since last week I only managed to workout 3 days and my eating was only good enough to maintain my weight and I can’t keep that up if I want to lean up for summer. So, with that said I am out!!
Happy Friday all. Do you want to work your abs but don’t want to spend a lot of time doing so? I do and I found a great clip from exercise TV to help get you started. Just think doing this a few days a week along with healthy eating and cardio will get you. It will get you swimsuit ready for sure!! So drop down and give me 2 minutes! Now! I will join too, lol.
I was watching t.v. the other night and then a Jenny Craig commercial came on and I was surprised to see the beautiful Queen Latifah on the commercial!! I am so excited for her to be making her own new
