Shelley: Day 38

Sorry for missing yesterday. I have been super tired and Will has been CRAZY. Someone pushed the overdrive button on my little guy and I'd like to know how to turn it down! He's been going to bed super late because he's literally been falling asleep at weird times and weird places. I think today I did a pretty good job of getting him back on track but I know it's going to take a few more solid days to really get this working again.

I'm pretty sure he's teething again too which makes him super grumpy. We read book after book today and if I took too long he would start whining or just randomly crying which is so unlike him that I'm sure he's going to pop some teeth soon, even if he won't let me take a look to confirm.

Kaisi, I'm super glad you posted those pictures. We've been stressing over our living situation and where we want to be when our lease comes up and I am a total feed your feelings kind of gal so today was completely sucko. I started out fine but had to get to Whole Paycheck (Whole Foods) to get some organic milk for Will and did the complete wrong thing and got cassarole instead of salad. The good news, I didn't eat it all. I realized half way through it so wasn't worth it so I shared Will's fruit and tossed it but I'm sure it only takes a few bites to kill the day.

Worse, for dinner we had Greek which I LOVE. The good news here too is that I didn't crazy overdo it but still. . .it really doesn't take much. It's all about portion size and if you are going to eat pure fat the portion better be pretty small. . .

I'm beyond exhausted so I'm not going to do a super break down but I am going to face my indiscretion and state clearly that I consumed 1610 calories today.

BMR CALC: 1691-1610=81 Deficit, this cannot continue. It is just not good enough.

(For an explanation please see Shelley: Day 1 Post) Also, I updated my BMR from 1760 to 1691. As I lose weight that number will continue to fall.

I'm going to keep Kaisi's motivation post on my phone wallpaper just so I don't forget what I really want.

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!
