Hello to Team Belly Acres. This is your official team thread. If you would like to change the name that is fine - but, I think it's appropriate for me anyway. I will have more information regarding the workouts and how I handle the weigh-ins on a weekly basis. Stay tuned.

Hi Belly Acres - we are officially a team!! I've had a good day yesterday and today. Sodium is always hard for me. I love pickles, olives, bacon, cheese, pizza, etc....
I've been getting up before work to work out in the mornings. It's a change for me and took a couple weeks to get used to. I have to admit, I love, love, love having it done first thing in the morning and don't have to worry about it all day.
I started tackling the stairs at lunch, I am up to the 4th floor from the basement. I think the highest I have access to is the 10th floor. It's a goal and maybe a heart attack.
2 workouts today, elliptical this morning and my strength class this afternoon. Tomorrow is Friday, I love my liquor filled weekends. I will only have cocktails one day and exercise for 3 hours to earn it.
Peace out for the day!!2 -
Hey all - just wanted to post a few ways to sneak in your abs for the week.
Standing hip circles - circle one way 10 times & circle the other way 10 times = Boom 10 abs
For those that don't want to count?
One minute of abs is 20 abs.
A five minute ab video is worth 100 abs
A 1-minute plank is worth 20 abs.
You cannot count the ones that you do during an exercise class if you are also counting the calorie burn from it. It's an extra perk.2 -
Hey Team, I will not drink wine tonight, I will not drink wine tonight, I will not drink wine tonight1

I'd love to say the same thing Kim but I'm not there yet LOL. I will get better, I will get better.

Hey all!! I'm excited to be a part of the team, and I am especially excited to be against my hubby! Let's win it!0

I'm working from home today so I plan to get up every so often to get flights of stairs in.0

Hey team,
I spent the past 2 days paying bills, on-line Christmas shopping, credentialing for my new job and credentialing for going back to school for my BSN. It's a lot of b@llshit paperwork.
I did win $125 playing Bingo on Saturday. I missed the $500 by 1 number - grrrr. Exciting for me, because I literally never win.
Tonight is strength training class and some abs.
I made a new pulled pork yesterday and it's been cooking all night. Easy enough to do and it sounded like heat meets a l'il bit of sweet. I'll make some slaw today. Possibly, some corn tortillas for tacos too!!

Today is my day off, I'll check out and hit up the new remodeled Aldi as well as Sur La Table because I have a 20% off coupon. Hubs ruins my pans. I have no idea what he does with them - but, alas, I just replace them.
Keep moving team!!

nice win! $125 is better then nothing. Pulled pork sounds amazing. I made a roast last night, so we have meat and veggies left over for tonight.
I am going to make a meal plan today for the week. My biggest problem is wanting what I scheduled. But I think it's the only way this is going to work.
I think I am going to try and do a workout on my rowing machine today. And I will go for a walk.0 -
I have been a little under the weather but working on stepping up the exercise even more, have a good day everyone.1
-
I have subscribed to the Daily Burn for $15 a month. I am really liking the videos from the cardio blast. They are 30 minutes and and easy to squeeze in the AM. I was up at 5:00 AM today getting it done. I love that it's just over and done.
Kanderson, take care of yourself!!
Vacamama, have 3 meals that are planned out, prepped in advance. 2 meals that you might want when you want them.
Tomorrow is first weigh-in!!1 -
I climbed 150 stairs just at lunch time. As I was warming up my lunch, I was standing there waiting and my legs were literally shaking. What a mess I say!!0
-
@nisijam5 good job! I am planning on doing a row tonight. hopefully I don't die after 5 minutes like last time.... on the plus side I have been eating really well so far today and I actually planned out dinner! (spaghetti bolognese with mine on squash noodles)
Not sure I would like squash noodles - but, my friend says it is good. Five minutes is a long time to row if you ask me. Lots of upper body there.
I am home sick from work today. Yesterday, I was feeling achy and run down. Today, I have a honking, giant cold sore. Boo! I'm down 1.2 lbs and my goal is 1 a week. So, good there with a head start on next week. It probably would have been more but I ended up at happy hour last night and 1/2 price bottles of wine.0 -
so today i have the office to myself and we happen to have a mini gym room in the building so i've decided i'm going to get up away from my desk every hour and do the arm exercises, i have 15 of each done so far@nisijam5 with the curtsy lunges does one on each side count as one? 1

And the winners are…
Boncharlie
wins this first week with an impressive 8 lb. loss. And a 4.4% drop. So, close to the one-derlands. This week you will bask in the comfort of a 0.5 lb. advantage. I want to see some impressive bingo arm action as well. I personally am very nervous about you and Chunkysloth being on the same team.
Winning team...
The Hangry birds lost 3 people due to non-weigh in.
They will receive a 1-week pass for elimination since they won. I had someone contact me today about joining and I will put her on your team as well.
Belly Acres - will receive a 1 lb. advantage for next week for their collaborative efforts.
Boo, our eliminated player….
MamaTurner from the Belly Acres did not weigh in and will be this week’s eliminated player.
Weight Droppers….soon to be panty droppers (or boxers)
None yet!! I am sure they are on the way.
Opps, I went the wrong way….
Going forward, anyone who gains weight > 1.2 lbs will be penalized ½ of that weight going into the next week. WHY, WHY, WHY? Well, you can’t gain one week and then come back to win by losing the gained weight. This helps to balance the contest.
None yet!! Keep up the good work. Do not gain the >1.2 lbs because I don’t actually like to penalize people.
FIT/NUT….
There is no fine art to this other than I look at who was successful at tracking and logging combined with weight loss. The top 3 I picked this week are:
Cheffirlrd - 0.25 lb. advantage
Sisumom - 0.25 lb. advantage
Fourathomej - 0.50 lb. advantage
11/21/2018 prizes...Secret Rewards
You will pick 2 numbers from 1 to 14 at the next weigh-in. I have corresponding prizes that go along with each number. The numbers of the winner will be applied!!!3 -
Hey Team,
It's awfully quiet here!! I'm feeling better and woke up early to get my 30 of cardio in. I never thought I would be one to wake up early but it feels so good to know that it's done. Took about a week to get used to it.
So, my challenge for the weekend will to have one alcohol day. I just ordered 6 bottles of "The Calling" for a sweet deal. Usually, they run about $35 a bottle and I paid $20. They will be perfect for the Holiday! Again, the key will be not to drink them. One bottle of wine is a 100 carbs. Sadness exists within me knowing this....1 -
Hi! Ive had a headache for 24 hours, which really makes me unhappy. The good news is, I have been working hard to focus on building good habits back. This headache might be sugar withdrawl..
We have been getting our yard landscaped (goodbye ivy!) and today a fence is being installed, so Im also trying to stay out of the way.
This wrekend is my daughters birthday party. 8 have so much to do for prep, but it will be so much fun! I can't believe shes 5.
I am going to try and get a dog walk in today or tomorrow and hopefully that will be a good start.
Hqve a good weekend!!0 -
I had Thanksgiving at my mom's house today. I didn't do too bad but I didn't want to have to measure portion sizes and whatnot so I didn't log my food. I did a bunch of arms and abs this morning. I Also went on a little 2 mile jog. I'm currently at a football game, Oregon vs Arizona state. We haven't stopped walking since we got here. Another hour and a half till it starts so we'll see how many more steps I can get in!1
-
way to go! I was running around all morning for my daughters birthday. I had 30 minutes while they filled balloons so I walked around the store and the mall. I now have a minivan full of balloons and just doing the final preps before we go set up the room.
I hope this week I will be down, I am a bit worried as we have had higher salt content foods the last couple days. I figure we have a couple days to eat clean and get rid of the salt.
how is everyone else doing?0 -
Jeez, the busy season has started!! This weekend we moved bedroom sets, cleaned out a lot of our storage areas. Laundry all weekend as well. I was able to get rid of a bedroom set, a headboard, a dresser. Plus, lots of other things on FB garage sales.
I just ordered all my groceries online for the holiday so I will pick that up tomorrow at 11. Hubs asked me to take his truck in tomorrow for maintenance and get a loaner (why, me?).
I have the absolute best recipe for the turkey and I am excited to get him going. Blueberry lemon cake and apple bread.
So, needless to say, I have done nothing in the way of actual exercise or logging. I need to lose like 5 lbs. by tomorrow. So, I think it will be a liquid day. I had a smoothie for breakfast, a pre-lunch Plexus drink and some homemade bone broth (I ended up with 3+ quarts). I'll have some chicken breast with swiss cheese and avocado. Wish me luck. I hate to be eliminated from my own contest so early.0 -
Yes, yes, yes - my smoothie, Plexus supplement and homemade beef bone broth paid off in the long run. I am down 2 lbs. today.
I am always happy to start a new motivating week. Last week was terrible and being sick didn't help. I have lots to do today but will make sure to get 30 minutes of moving my booty. I am excited to make a great turkey and all of the mixings!!
I will try to get results posted in the morning. If not, Happy Thanksgiving to the Americans and belated to the Canadian (I think yours was in October). Thanks for participating and keeping me motivated.3 -
Woo hoo!!! I’m down! That was a tricky week. I have issues with the late night snacking. Even being a dietitian I still have my struggles and the late night snacking is the biggest one. I’m going to have to tell myself the same thing I tell my clients and patients on this topic. I think the being active almost every day is what helped me. I love getting out with my new baby for a walk.
I hope everyone had a great week and I’m wishing all of you a Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American teammates! 🦃. Also celebrated my bday early today ...because tomorrow we have 7 parent interviews -😴 -Here’s to 42 🍻! After a couple of weeks at this, I have noticed a big difference in tracking food vs not. We were without cell service for the later part of last week -in the middle of nowhere for our work...and it was a challenge to get back to tracking. Plus I had my Christmas party in there (crazy Canadians!!). What else has worked to date.....shop and chop veggies and cooking chicken breasts Sunday to grab each day as I head out. We have a scale at work and we don’t have one at home-so I like the consistency with using 1. We have been cleaning our house from dawn till dusk for the past 2 weekends trying to clean every square inch as our cat, then catS, then cats AND wiener dogs had fleas. Embarrassing yes, but we live on a big working farm and i suppose we are lucky it’s only happened the once. The upside is that there is no rest for the wicked and that=a lot of calories burned.
I will post a pic from my Christmas Party -I had to get my son to take SO many pics because my arms looked huge.
