Thanks for the opportunity

Well..... I had to miss my work-out last night my son Luke was sick. As a single mom, I have to put my children before myself ,no matter how VERY much I wanted to be Memphis' Biggest Loser. My family has been very supportive but, no one was available last night at the last minute to watch a sick and crying toddler who only wanted his Mommy to hold him. I want to thank Karson and Kennedy for giving me the opportunity to compete in this contest. I am just sorry it had to end this way. I have enjoyed working with the trainers and hopefully, I can continue on with the things I have learned on my own.
Best of Luck to all my team members!!!!! I hope the winner is from our team ...Go Food Fighters!!!!!!

OHHHH I am so not looking forward to 4 am tomorrow! I have been sleeping in until 7 everyday this weekend. It was very nice! I just got done working out tonight at my gym. I need a mp3 player so bad. Working out alone really sucks. Especially with stinky guys all around lifting weights. Yuck! I'm so glad our team doesn't smell bad when we work out. But getting past the mucky smell of guys working out... I managed to get in almost 2 hours of cardio. See ya'll tomorrow! I gotta get some sleep.

Weekend Work-Outs!

Hey guys! Well our "homework" for the weekend was to get at least 90 minutes of cardio Saturday and Sunday. So I got to the gym at my apartments at 6pm and pretty much did every piece of equipment (treadmill, bike, stair master etc.) for 20 minutes each. It is really boring working out with out my team.

Oh my legs are killing me! They feel so tight and stiff. lol The stair master is to thank for that. This morning we concentrated on cardio training. It's very exhausting! But I know that pain is fat leaving your body... so it's worth it. But anyways, today is CSI Niki's birthday!!! YAY Happy Birthday Niki!!!

Working Hard

I'm really starting to enjoy training twice a day! At first it seemed like a lot, but now I don't see how I ever started my day off without some cardio! Seriously! I have a lot of extra energy throughout the day, and I feel like I get the most out of my day. =) We are still training hard. Our meal plan changed a little but believe me not for the better! They took away the bread and added oatmeal. EWH!!! I hate oatmeal. I can manage to choke down some veggies, bland tasting fish but not oatmeal. Well I don't really have a choice about the oatmeal so I guess I'll have to manage.

I am so nervous! We have weigh-in's at 5:45am tomorrow morning. I feel confident about the weigh-in but not so much the elimination. I missed Monday morning's training session because I was sick with who knows what. I went out to eat the night before at a restaurant were I got a talapia fillet and some steamed veggies. For more then a week now I have been cooking my own meals without any salt, butter, etc. So I think maybe the way my food was prepared was the reason I got sick. I have no idea. It sucked. But, I hope I don't get eliminated tomorrow. I love my team and my trainers and the results I have seen. Well everyone cross you're fingers so I don't get eliminated tomorrow!!!

I could sleep for days!

I am so sleepy today. I can't wait to go to get some sleep tonight. My whole body is sore and in need of some much needed rest. But I know all this hard work will pay off. We are still training hard (like we need to be). And amazingly enough I am actually getting used to getting up early, sticking to our diet, and the work-outs are getting better for me. Watching what I eat is becoming a GREAT habit for me. The meal plan is definitely the easiest thing for me. We lost another team mate this week... but that's ok! Our training session are very difficult. I hope that everyone left on our team sticks it out as long as they can. We are a really great team! Oh geez... I gotta get ready for round #2. See ya'll!
