I watched episode 2 of the Biggest loser last night. I always love the early episodes of each season because you deal with the I can't do it and see them oh Yes I can come on through many times. Family was a theme that we heard with many families being seen during the health discussions via video camera
Family support I know I need it from my husband. I don't need someone enabling me in my bad eating. Darn I can that all myself. Plus my husband does some of the morning kid duties so I can make time to workout. Luckily we have a little competition and he has lost 50lbs this year.
I feel bad for Allie who went home. How could any mother get her child gastric bypass surgery at age 14 - and then feed her nothing but junk?!? Follow that up with refusing to get the chocolate out of the house-she left it right on the counter for tempation. . I don't know what the family dynamic is there but it seems very sad. I am glad that Allie got some support from Danny and has lost 60lbs so far.
Do you get family support in your weight loss efforts?

Are your eyes bigger than your stomach
One of the reasons I gained weight over the years is that my portions were sooooo large! I have been to weight watchers enough over the years to know that 3oz of chicken is about the size or a set of cards or my fist.
I took the Portion distortion quiz 
from SparkPeople
You scored 9 of 16 correct on this quiz.
On Your Way to Proper Portions
You've picked up some portion facts here and there while working towards your healthy goals. But the more you learn, the more successful you will be. Check out the links below for more help with portion sizes.
I knew the meat portion but the fruit and diary.
How did you do?

Glad to be back home
Mentally and physically I am totally done from my business trip to Vegas. I wish I had a pedometer to track all the miles that I walked in high heels. The blister are starting to finally heal.
Food wise I didn't go crazy but I did eat the bread st several of the steakhouses that I visisted. I did also have the mashed potatos. I didn;t eat the pastries that were in many of the conference rooms. I guzzled water like a fish and but had plenty of wine at night.
I did get a couple of compliements from co-workers who I haven't seen since our last conference 6 months ago.
The best part was that I got to wear a size 16 cocktail dress that I think I bought before my last pregnancy for our nightclub night. I did wear nylons (and I hate nylons) because it was a little shorter than I sometimes.
I am not weighing in until next Saturday so I won't be demotivated.

Close to VFT again
I dropped one pound this week. I am at 197 again and my lowest weight in the year that I have really been focusing on my get fit and fab to 40s. I did have the Burger King incident on Sunday which I thought I would not see a loss.
I did finalize my shopping for Vegas. I got a nice gray and black animal print (it is not tacky) jacket and will be wearing that with a fitted black top that sucks me in! I also got a nice brown and cream color top that I will wear with brown pants and I have another outfit from an early summer trip. There is a big party going on as well so I have a dress that I fit in from a few year back.

Trying to Shred negativity
Resolve, determination, you can do it. Maybe if I keep telling myself I can do it. I will actually do it! I got a bit off track over the weekend again This weekend self sabatog is really irking me. I asked my husband for burger king and potato chips on Sunday night. Can you beleive that and he got it. I felt so ill on Sunday-gas, cramps,bloated from all the salt. And the peanut butter monster has gotten in my head again.
On Sunday I did Jillian Michaels: Shred-It With Weights
which was on Exercise TV. It is a great combo of cardio and strength and gets your heart beating fast. She used Kettlebells and a modifer do use a dumbbell . I used an 8lb dumbell and I kept my heart rate up. If you like Shred you will like this workout as well. I will probably add the level one of the workout in maybe once a week for something different. Since it is on
Exercise TV I will probably just do the workout from there. It is just level one and honestly that kept me going,.
