Sole Trainers - Chat (10/16-10/22)

Busy, Busy, Bee. This evening find a way to keep as active as possible around your house. Need to change the sheets on your bed? Run in there as fast as you can change the sheets as fast as you can and run back in time to catch the show. If you need to empty the dishwasher, you might just want to do something like squat down to get the dish & up on your toes to put them away...so you don't break any dishes :) Be creative and let us know what you did during the commercials!

If you are watching the show at a gym or something. Try finding an activity to alternate to during commercials. Maybe you are on the treadmill and the commercial comes on, so you switch to the bike and go as fast as you can, then back to the treadmill during the show. Unless someone's going to steal your machine :)

Have fun watching & chatting the show here!

    I've caught myself about to do the same; it is funny, isn't it? I wrote our name on a post it so I wouldn't forget.

    Why do they fall into the eat the most calories trap? I think every season the "winner" ends up going home.

    Put away clean dishes, wipe down the counters and put a pair of pants in the laundry. All on one break!

    kitchen and bathroom done already....living room next commercial break and I'm going to do some of my Jillian Micheals curves workout moves.

    What is different about Bob's Comeback Canyon vs. the ranch? Besides Bob of course.

    ooooh I like that insight "the pain of being here (working out and eating healthy) is less painful than being home (living old unhealthy lifestyle). That's motivation.

    I think it's to show the changes. The scale they step on is actually a prop. The weigh ins are done early in the day.

    He doesn't seem as approachable as the others. I'm not sure about the trust between him and his team members.

    I would take a shirt off when that weight of the shirt made the difference in team winning or gling home.
    I too Kyoung, I weigh nude. Then I'm not thinking those jeans were heavier then something else I wore the following day.
    Sounds like it was a good show. Will watch recording next week. Off traveling. My Dads 90th birthday. Sure I have some of his genes.

    I watched the show and did several chores during the breaks and carrying over after the breaks often but just turned the TV volume up so I could at least hear it til I got back. I still don't know if I like Jen or Jessie that much yet. They haven't grown on me so far this season. And in fact I haven't connected with any contestant that much either. I don't know why as I am watching more shows and timely watching them this season but enjoying it less. I think I liked the last season so much maybe is why?? Anyway, my favorite part is Bob and Comeback Canyon and getting a second chance. Do we know if the other trainers are clueless about this part???

    @kimjutor - I think the other trainers are clueless from their emotional responses to contestants leaving their teams. They could just be really good actors though.

    I worked on the kitchen during breaks the first time I watched it. I couldn't really remember much of it; so, I watched it again tonight. The Blue Team has consistently been pulling in small numbers amongst the girls.

    I thought about a challenge we could have done this week but it's too late lol sorry!! But my idea was to eat something that you miss (a temptation) find out how many calories are in it and then work it off. I forgot his name (the man that won the challenge) he was still able to lose weight for that week. I'll try to think of a new one when I watch the show tomorrow.

    I'm late posting so I'm not sure if this will count or not, but I just finished watching the show.
    I don't think they know about comeback canyon. I can't wait to see their faces! Lol.
    love the idea of workout for the three minutes instead of the temptation.
    I cleaned the baby's room and got rid of the too small clothes during the breaks. Gotta be quiet so he could sleep, but was very productive. Also something I've been putting off so thanks for the challenge.

    Sorry I missed the deadline on this one. I wasn't able to watch it live and later watched it "on demand". However, apparently "on demand" only does 2 30sec commercial breaks. Not really enough time to do anything. Will have to remember to record it from now on so that I have the commercial breaks (was hoping not to have to take up DVR space for something that was in the "on demand" section).
