Kaisi: Day 11

Hi everybody!. Man, I have been tired today! I woke up at 6 for work and was pretty darn hungry so I made my breakfast pretty quickly, same as always... eggs!. The morning went by quickly and before I knew it, it was lunch time. I had some corn on the cob I had gotten for our BBQ this weekend, but because of my hubs crazy school schedule we decided to put that off until next weekend so I needed to cook it up before it went bad. I decided I would have chicken and corn. It was pretty yummy and very filling. I had been working on a project later in the afternoon, so once again time flew... I had about an hour until my workout class so I ate a hard boiled egg. Spin class was nuts!. I hated it, but I loved it!. What a great way to burn extra calories going into the weekend. I had never done a spin class before, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect... If you have the endurance, I definitely recommend it. It is mentally and physically challenging. When I got home I didn't want to have a big dinner since it was later, so I went to my go-to dinner lately... Slim-fast. I have been cleaning up the house since I put our little girl to bed at nine and I know it is lame to call that any kind of a workout, but at least it was more moving around. Here are my stats for the day....

Breakfast: 2 plain Eggs and a Banana
Lunch: Chicken, Corn on the Cob and 2 Hawaiian rolls.
Snack: Hard Boiled Egg
Dinner: Slim-fast

Workout: 1 hour of Spin.

I forgot to mention above... I have made the mistake of weighing myself during the week this week. When I am not constantly going down I get discouraged, so I need to remind myself to only weigh in once a week. It's always going to fluctuate day to day, but weighing in once a week will allow me to know if what I am doing is working. I also need to remind myself not to focus 100% on just the weight. I have been doing a lot of working out and I am sure that I am building muscle, so I need to pay attention to my measurements too. I am fine with my weight staying or slowly going as long as my measurements are shrinking also. Ultimately that is what I want is to be fitter and healthier. The weight is just a number... It's the number on the jean size that really matters!! :)

Until tomorrow....

Katie's Story

Well this is going to be exciting and I am excited to begin my blogging and also my weight loss adventure! I'm Katie and am the very proud mother of an adorable little boy! I love being a mommy and I do believe that I have one of the cutest little guys in ALL the universe! Growing up I was a Ballet dancer and therefore I never really had to worry about my weight. I say that loosely because I was always dieting and not eating and dancing. So I was always skinny. Therefore I have never really been a healthy dieter nor have I ever enjoyed exercising because to me Ballet isn't exercise its just fun! I would do Ballet now but there is NO WAY I am ever putting toe shoes on again n0t to mention a leotard and tights :) When Shelley and I discussed doing The Biggest Loser I was excited and nervous as I have in the past 5 years failed at losing weight and working out. However I have hope that this time it just might work as I now have a blog and others watching and I have always been fairly competitive and so here goes nothing! Wish me luck! I sure hope I am a gracious winner :)

UPDATE: I am now a lucky mother of 2 adorable kiddos! My daughter was recently born and it is time for me to get back on the diet wagon. So here we go again!!

Kaisi's Story

Hi, my name is Kaisi Grow. I have never had to write a profile about my weight journey so I am not really sure where to begin... I guess I will just start where everyone does. I enjoy long walks on the beach, but lately it seems they have turned into short winded waddles. I am just kidding...but seriously I have never really been good at dieting or exercising because frankly I never stick to it, I am all talk. So when Shelly & Katie asked me to do the "Biggest Looser" with them I though what a great way to be forced into sticking to something rather than having it stick to me!. I recently had a baby girl that we named Sadie. When I was pregnant I gained roughly 38-39lbs, so you can imagine my surprise when Sadie came out weighing only 7lbs 11oz. My mind immediately went to all the food I chowed down over the last 9 months. Muffin tops are my favorite, but I hadn't taken that "you are what you eat" thing seriously. I knew it was time for a major rebound, but have not had the moral support or peer pressure until now!. December 1st is my deadline and I am hoping to hit my goal of 135lbs! I am exited to take you along the way, so please hang in there with me through my mood swings and bitter days because I know by cutting down on my Diet Coke there are bound to be some!
