Biggest Loser Million Pound Match-up

"Greetings!

The 11th annual Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon will welcome Ali Vincent, the first female winner of NBC's "The Biggest Loser," and her mother, as they walk the Flying Pig Half Marathon presented by PNC on Sunday, May 3.

Vincent is coming to Cincinnati as part of Prevention Magazine's "Team Prevention Walk It!," promoting walking as an exercise option for many Americans. The program has motivated thousands of walkers, and Ali is inviting walkers to join her during her 13.1 mile walk at the Flying Pig.

How's it going everyone. You can yell at me..I can take it. Things are still going....um...well they are going. I still havent lost anything since the holiday splurge (Thanksgiving/Christmas) but I'm still under 200....barely. I can honestly say though that even though you watch your eating most days of the week...those 2 days can kill you. Plus without exercising...nothing changes. So yeah...thats where I'm at...

 

BUT... it is about to change. I have committed to a monthly group of people for the next 12 months to improve 7 areas of my life. One of them is my health and the first step is to get into the 180's again by the end of March.

 

On a better note... Amber is doing great. She is now working for a Bariatrics practice in the same building as the Healthplex. How convenient is that? She had a speaking function for Life Success for a program they are having called The Greatest Loser. She did great she said and even enjoyed speaking and taking questions about our journey last year.

 

I am a little over half way done with my 2nd class at school. Well ahead of pace!!

 

Take care everyone!

So I've started posting alot on a new site for Biggest Loser fans. I really like this one. Has a lot of good tools and much simpler than the BLL. The moderator really knows what he's doing.

 

 

Come visit us. I know Sonja has joined from the MPM and Chris/Melissa (Under Construction).

 

 

Did ok this week....not great but not bad. Missed my workout this morning though but after Friday's workout...my legs were hurting! So I'm sorta glad I did miss it. hehe

Amber and I have come to the realization that our trainer Stephanie hates our core. Every day, every workout beats up our core. :)

 

Stephanie gave me a weekly training log now to follow. I get one day a week off from exercise now. Its ok though, I can take it.

 

Everything else is going great. Amber is on dayshift now...no more nightshifts taking a toll on her body. We really went by the wayside from Thurs-Sat on the food but its a new week and we started fresh at the grocery store Sunday. I cant wait for Season 7 to start on TBL. I dont know if I can take anymore of season 6. It is a totally different feel from the cast of season 5 to season 6. Yes there are ones I like but man....that Shakespearean one... :)

 

Take care everyone!

Well, after the intense Pilates session on Monday, I thought I would be hurting on Tuesday. That was not the case, in fact my core felt great!

My triceps are a little sore and I dont remember doing anything that concentrated on those.

 

I think I'll pick up the Thursday Pilates class that Steph runs. Amber started a new job that runs late on Thursdays so thats a perfect opportunity to get an extra class in while waiting on her to get off work.

 

Other than that...its another great day today. I meet with my advisor tonight to talk about taking Weekend courses at Xavier in Jan. I'm excited about that as well. 2008 has been a good year...no...a great year!

 

After celebrating my completion of the Life Success course (which went from from one night to 2 days of bad eating), I'm up a pound this morning.

 

I've got til Friday before I have to send in my numbers though. :)

 

 

Take care!
