BL Blue Team Week 4!

:grumble: :grumble: dang UPS guy.... :grumble: :grumble:

Rach... try freecylce.org. That is a site where people give away stuff for free that they either dont need or want. You might get some awesome deals on there especially if you live in a big city. I havent used it in along time because I got so much crap here at my house as it is.


We are getting a new computer YEA...... We have had this one for years and it is about time we get a new one. My sons will be happy because they are getting this one and now they can play their games on it. I play the sims games on the computer so I either have to start a new on the new computer or just wait until Sims 3 comes out.

:flowerforyou: Congrats Rach!!

About the overweight teen thing:
The reason I have invited my 13 year old son to join me at the gym is because he is becoming overweight (more and more).
I try really hard to walk the fine line of not making him overly worried about it and keeping him healthy. I feel bad because I know he is self conscious, wearing a t-shirt with his bathing suit when he swims. He HATES it when the soccer team plays "shirts and skins" (isn't that torture??)
And like I said earlier it doesn't help that his older brother never had a fat cell.
I have been keeping a bowl of fruit on the counter for a convenient healthy snack (which works)
and he seems to enjoy going to the gym with me and I like the company. I had him in basketball but he wants to quit, too many kids and not enough playing time.
Other ideas?

I JUST ATE A 1000 cals OF CRAP!!! I COULD JUST CRY!!! WHY????I'M SO UPSET WITH MYSELF. I have to exercise yet, but there is NO WAY I can burn1400 cals when I'm now not motivated for anything. HELP PLEASE!

Just a quesiton how many calories can i burn when im doing this

I'm not sure but if you find out PLEASE let me know!! Maybe we could wear our HRMs!!

I'm so very sorry to hear that you're having a rough time. Seizures sound just terrible. I couldn't even imagine what you're going through. Please know, that we are all here for you & we hope that you can pull through it all!

Hi Team...hope all of you are having a good week...even if you fall off the horse, dust yaself off and climb right back on to finish the ride!!!!....WHHHHEEEEEEE DoGGY!!!!!:drinker:

iM NEW TO THIS SiTE.. AND i WAS JUST WONDERiNG WHAT THE TEAMS WERE ABOUT?? AND iF THERE'S ANYWAY N JOiNiNG ONE?!

j-g4 ever.. you are strong.. you know you can do it.. you have been dealing with this for quiet some time now.. and you know.. it's not your fault.. that something you can't control i guess... we can control what we put in our mouth and how much we exercise- right ? and that you do have under control.. the other thing.. leave it to God.. it's in His hands.. and remember.. we all have been given something in our lives to deal with. you - got the seizures, but would you trade it for cancer ? or.. having some kind of disformation.. no leg ? no arm ? blind ? deaf ? .. I mean God, gave each one of us a load , but a load He knew we could carrie.. He knows you are strong to deal with this, accept it- don't fight it.. live with it- but ask Him to help you in the rough times. .. because no doctor or .. other human can really help .. He has the power.. trust in Him , ok ? :flowerforyou:

Good job hotmomof4 .. that's amazing that you went and " fought the calories " .. Good job.. and don't get discouraged we all are going through those stages . sometimes super motivated, but sometimes we just eat.. maybe our body needs it more than we realize, maybe we are not giving it enough- but maybe we are hungry for something else ? attention ? love ? understanding ? sleep ? rest ?
I guess all this is a process of learning we have to listen to our bodies every day.. and it's a never ending- learning process.. but- we can do it .. we have to believe in that ..

i'm here... i'm doing the challange- not stepping on the scale, watching my calories and working out..

So just as friday is over my week is hardly over. I have to leave at 7:30 for school. I have class from 9 - 11:45 and 12:00 - 2:30. I have been doing nonstop homework. I had to send my fiance home tonight just so I could get caught up. I am super stressed and my headaches are coming back again. I have a presentation to do tomorrow. Needs to be 30 minutes, probably one of the longest presentations I have ever had to do. I think my top is 20 minutes. Anyways I am super nervous. I have to present as if I am the teacher and it is the first day of class - I have to go over rules and expectations and then do a mini lesson for the rest of the class. I am not worried about the beginning portion I am just worried I will screw up the lesson portion. I guess I need to get use to it seeing how I am going to be a teacher within the next few years.

Besides for the busy part of my life with school and work. I was able to work out Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I did the wii fit step aerobics on Thursday for 10 minutes and I can hardly walk I am so sore. I haven't been losing much but I have lost a ton of inches all over. I am half way to my goal and so excited. This is the longest I have ever stuck to anything. It definately isn't a "diet" it is my new life. I just want to thank all of you for supporting me through this journey. You are all so amazing and inspiring!!!!

I did it-550 burned! Did my P90X legs, back and abs! I'm so pleased with my self! Thanks for all your motivation guys, I really needed it today. GO BLUE!

I just finished my workouts for the day!! Burning 605 calories with the BL Cardio DVD plus an additional 30 minutes on the tread mill! Lot's of fun!! I'm really hoping to make that scale move this week!! I'm so darn close to being in the 170's!!! So darn close!! We'll see! :drinker:
