Katie Day 47

Hello Friday! This will be short as I don't feel very good tonight. Our entire household is getting over a cold and so today we all just took it easy and rested. It was nice to be lazy today. I slept in and Dan watched our little guy this morning. When I got up around 9 I had my usual breakfast and then we sat around all morning trying to get the energy to get ready. By the time we all got ready it was lunch time, but I didn't feel like fixing lunch so we went out to Panera. I changed it up a bit and got 1/2 a chicken caesar salad sandwich and 1/2 a greek salad. It was ok, I think I will try it again when I can taste things better :) We haven't been to Pink Berry in a long time so we stopped by and had a mini pink berry. After our little outing we ALL got home and crashed! Because I haven't felt very good today I wanted some comfort food, but I am kinda sick of Chicken Noodle soup as we have had that a lot this week. So I made my breadstick recipe minus the butter and turned the breadsticks into pizza. It was way good and I had 2 slices for about 392 calories. This evening we are all feeling much better which is such a relief! I think all of our resting did the trick along with Zicam and Vitamin C for Dan and I. I have a feeling tomorrow might be a long day as Dan has to study all day :( But as long as we all feel better and aren't coughing tomorrow then tomorrow night we are going to a little get together with some friends to watch the Holy War (which is the BYU/UofU Football game. GO UTES :) Actually I don't really care who wins I just think it will be fun! Wish me luck that I stay on my diet tomorrow night because football game food is NOT that low in calories. Here is what I ate today :

Breakfast my usual : Cheerios and 1/2 cup skim milk 155 calories

Lunch : 1/2 sandwich and 1/2 salad 550 calories

Dinner : Homemade cheese pizza 392 calories

Snacks : Pinkberry mini, Chocolate cream weight watchers cake 190 calories

Exercise : lots and lots of rest = no calories burned but feeling much better.

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!
