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.

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!!!!
