Wednesday

And the whining continues . . .

Good grief! Joelle was spared. I don't know how I feel about that. I guess I'm happy for Carla. But I am not looking forward to another dose of the cat fight that went on last night. I can't believe that after all the screaming, Joelle looks at Carla and says, "you're mad at me?" Duh, ya think? Joelle is so passive-agressive that it is maddening.

I felt bad for Damien. And his elimination seemed to come out of left field. They say that one negative person in a workplace can affect even the most positive of teams. I really hope that those who voted Damien off don't regret their vote. They may have perceived him as the bigger threat, but I think that Joelle's attitude is toxic.

I'm still floundering around but I think as I get used to this huge life change I will settle into a good routine. I heard Harold getting his workout in this morning. I think leaving Medler will be good for his morale. He's working harder now, but enjoying it more.

I got notice yesterday that my WII FIT is coming tomorrow. Whoo hoo! Anna says she will be here to help break it in. I can just see Sunday family dinners ending with a WII session. Anna and Melisa used Nina's over the weekend. Little Claire was doing stepwork with them. She used a book as her balance board. She also broke records on batting the virtual soccer ball with her head. Claire is two.

I'm off to watch the first half hour of Biggest Loser (I got home late) and get in my workout. Updates later.

Daily stats:
Type: Treadmill
Route:custom program 1
Time: 35 minutes
Average heart rate: 125 (this probably isn't accurate, see below)
Max heart rate: 252 (yeah you read that right. I even used a different watch)
Calories burned:260

Okay,
there is no way my heart rate went up to 252. I don't know what's going on with that monitor. I guess I'm just going to have to use it for timing workouts. That ticks me off because I have 3 of these things and none of them is working right. I changed the batteries in all three of them. I use them to make sure I am staying in the right heart rate zone, but as it is, they are useless at the moment. I can't wait to get the WII and see what that's all about.

Monday

Getting ready for the Biggest Loser challenge

Good morning everyone! I'm not waiting until the official start of the challenge. I am starting today. I have procrastinated enough. I can feel the effects of all of the sugar I have been ingesting lately. I have my workout clothes on and I am getting ready to head for the treadmill. It's a strength training day so I will be taking my weights with me. I love to go outside, but it is so cold and slippery that I am staying inside for the time being.

I used to post my daily stats on my other blog but I am moving them here now. I weigh everyday, but just to get a baseline on my fluctuations. I compare the weight to the previous week so I can get a better picture of my progress. My official weigh in days are on Sunday and that is the day I will update my ticker.

I am off to the treadmill

Daily stats:
Type: Treadmill

Route: Manual controls
Time: 30
Average heart rate: 121
Max heart rate: 147
Calories burned: 218
Up 1 pound from last Monday


Grrrr, the stats that I'm posting are my best guess. My HRM watch hinked up and I lost the data for my workout. It's probably pretty close because I check my HRM fairly often during the workout.

Today is a baseline day I follow my own version of the Wendy Chant program which is kind of a carb cycling rotation. She would laugh at my interpretation but it works for me.

Here is my menu for today:
1. Oatmeal and peanut butter (1/3 cup oatmeal - 1 T pb)
2. Atkins Shake
3. Cauliflower (1 cup) and cheese slice - cafe latte
4. Chicken salad wrap - yogurt
5. Cottage cheese - ½ cup
6. 2 egg omelet
*******************************************************
Evening update. I stayed on track today. Got lots of stuff done, but still have a ton more to do.
Getting ready to get into my jammies and have a cup of tea. I have an early day tomorrow - gotta be on the treadmill by 7:00.

Oh, and I almost forgot. I have my VCR set for the season premier of Biggest Loser. I have a meeting and will miss the first hour.

Nighty night, Losers!!
