Katie Day 36 & 37

Today has been a tough one however I feel that I have triumphed :) My parents left today and I have been so sad! We had such a great time and I am truly a home body and I love it when my family comes to visit. So when they leave I get WAY homesick! I am such an emotional eater and so I really wanted to go get comfort food today! But I had a goal to get through the day without comfort food and I did it! It was hard as I went to Westgate Mall today to exchange some clothes for my little guy. As we were walking around the mall I wanted a Mrs Fields cookie way bad, but I was strong and didn't get one. Actually I wanted like 6! After leaving the mall I still really wanted comfort food and when we were at Sprouts I was tempted to buy anything bad for me. I still remained strong and bought a pint of ice cream substitute. The full pint is 150 calories and I ate about 1/2 cup right out of the carton. It was pretty good but I don't know if I will eat any more of it. Tonight we had Tri Tip and veggies with berry shortcake for dessert. It was yummy and I feel satisfied. I am still wanting comfort food but now that I have blogged I can't have anything else to eat tonight or I will have to write a second post for the day and I don't want to do that. Besides I am tired and am thinking of hitting the sack as soon as I finish posting.

Oh and here is a confession . . . I hate to admit it but I am up one pound today from yesterday :( I thought I was doing so good but then last night we had Premier Pizza and it was way good but also way loaded with salt. But I had such a great time with my parents that I am ok with the 1 pound. Besides I am back on the Diet Wagon. I am so excited to go shopping and am looking forward to having a fun time buying cute clothes in the size that I like seeing!

Here is what I ate today :

Breakfast: My usual 163 calories

Lunch : Panera 360

Dinner : 4 oz Tri Tip, Zucchini, Asparagus 236 calories

Snacks : Fake Ice Cream, Special K Cracker Chips ( 10 chips) , Salsa (2 Tbs), Strawberry Shortcake, Fiber Brownie 273 calories

My wagon is hitched and ready to roll so until tomorrow . . . Happy Dieting!

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!
