Another SCANDAL

Did Bishop really need Brother Aagard to help w/ a service project at the exact time of Biggest Loser this morning....or....is he trying to sabotage the competition??

It is even more suspicious b/c Bishop's team dominated at the calorie counting challenge today. HMMmmmmm

You decide!

(Really though, we missed the Aagplants, the Tator Tots and 1/2 of the Cool Cucumber team at the get together this morning. Kudos to Turnip the Volume for knowing how to count the calories.)

Saturday Challenge/Competitions Points

Red Peppers and Cool Cucumbers both get a point for running the obstacle course w/ the fastest time. I am still losing sleep over us not all trying to beat our times. I think we could have done it! (The Tator Tots went to the temple and did FOUR sessions! They suggested they get a point....I think they deserve like a hundred....wow.....four sessions!)

These points will count as 10% of the final scores. (50% is weight loss and the other 40% is the fitness points)

Total Challenge points for all of the weeks:
Red Peppers 3
Turnip the Volume 2
Cool Cucumbers 1
Aagplants 1

SCANDAL and Disclaimer!

EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT

Emily is feeling really badly about Saturdays challenge. She is sure she caused a huge scandal by doing crunches rather than sit ups during the challenge. She told me she has been worrying about it for days!

I think we all ran a great obstacle course though and I hope we would have all been able to push a little harder and beaten our time. However, to avoid any pulled muscles or backs going out....we might have been smart to just end it when we did.

DISCLAIMER: Emily wanted me to write this in the blog....

a-Blobing we will go, a-Blobing we will go, high ho-the-dairy-o a-Blobing we will go.

I just want to say I am surprised on how much motivation this "Biggest Looser" thing has been. When you have to write down how good (or don't write down how bad) you have been, kinda makes you think twice before you eat the double bacon cheese burger.. B Aagard

Eating Healthy

I took a weight loss and eating disorders class in college, and I learned eight tips about eating healthy:
1. Eat only when you are hungry (not whenever something sounds good).
2. Eat food you like.
3. Have no distractions (TV, etc.).
4. Sit down to eat.
5. Eat slowly.
6. Stop before you are full (just get satiated--satisfied).
7. Relax.
8. Pay attention to your food.

I love the Biggest Loser!!!

How to Eat the Fruits and Veggies

Okay everyone, I have figured out how to get the 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.

-First, eat a fruit with breakfast - a banana in your cereal, blueberries on oatmeal, strawberries on waffles, etc....

-Then, for lunch have a salad with whatever you're having. (Or a soup with vegetables in it).

- During the day, for a snack have some apple slices, an orange, or some carrot sticks with Ranch dressing instead of what you'd normally snack on, like chips.

-At dinner try to have one or two vegetables, like a potato and green beans, or whatever you like.

- And the "cheater" one: drink a glass of V-8 Fusion or other 100% fruit or vegetable juice to get in that last serving.

I did these things today and had MORE than 5!!!!

Go biggest loser!!!I am so proud of everyone! xoxo Cindy
