Kaisi: Day 4

Hi ladies! Today was a strange day. I woke up a bit later then I usually do (I love how good our little munchkin sleeps) so I kinda had 2 lunches and a dinner... I did end up going for a walk in the middle of a day and quickly squeezed in a workout this evening. It was a good day and I felt pretty good about what I ate. I am starting to get over that hungry feeling and am getting full off meals and lunches instead of longing for more. Tonight at dinner I really wanted another muffin because it tasted so good (who doesn't love sweet tomatoes muffins) but I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat it and when we left I was really glad I didn't. I didn't need it and I wasn't stuffed when we left which is a great feeling!! Here are my stats.....

Breakfast: 445 Calories
Bagel thin Turkey and Ham sandwich w/ mayo, avocado and Cheddar Cheese.

Lunch: 318 Calories
Bagel thin egg sandwich w/ mayo

Dinner: 452 Calories
Salad w/ peas, beets, sunflour seeds and carrots dipped w/ 1tsp ranch.
Wild Blueberry Muffin
Dark Chocolate Frozen Yogurt

Snack: 105 Calories
Medium Banana

Total Calories: 1320 Calories

Workout: 580 Calories burned
Elliptical Trainer 40 minutes
Walking, slow pace 45 minutes
Situps: 15

I was at 1200 calories almost exactly when I finished w/ dinner then my hubs told me that I needed to eat more if I am burning so much calories working out. Otherwise my body goes into starvation mode and starts storing fat. So that is why I had the banana after my workout.

I am SOOOOOOOOO sore from my workout yesterday. I felt like I could barely do anything today, so I am glad I made the time to get to the gym to try and work that acid outta my muscles.

Until tomorrow..........

Way to go on tge eating and working out! A recovery snack is a great idea after a workout. A little protein as part of a recovery snack helps a bunch too. I used to munch on extra thin slices of turkey (the lunch meat) as my recovery snack. I would pair that with come carbs like a half of a thin bagle or something and it really did help me both recover and keep my metabolism running.

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!
