Boca Burger

So, this isn't a new vegetable or fruit that I tried this week, but it was a new food. My roommates who moved left some freezer food and told us remaining peeps to help ourselves to any that we wanted. I tried Hillary's boca burger. With the non-non-stick pans that we have in the apartment, it was a struggle to keep the burger from sticking while it cooked (in just cooking spray). But, beyond that, I dressed it up with cheese, tomato, lettuce, avocado, etc. It was an okay tasting thing. But, without all the toppings, I'm not sure I'd like it. And, from reading the ingredients, I learned that one of the first ingredients of the non-meat burger is cheese! Surprise to me. Did any of you know that?

Emily, you helped me!

I was about to post my points and saw that I was 1) lower than last week and a few other weeks near the beginning of Biggest Loser & 2) lower than Emily's points this week by just a few points. Competition, baby, got me down on the floor doing push ups and additional crunches! As well I reevaluated my points break down to make sure I gave myself credit for all I earned this week. And, now I'm just a few points higher than Emily. Thanks for the extra push to do more, even though you weren't aware that you did so, Em.

Hard Times

This week hasn't been good for me, I haven't been out as much as I have been making jam and keeping the girls from killing each other, but here is to next week with Education Week and hiking the Y again, we are going to see if we can make it faster than last time. I am planning on taking the bike back out when both the girls are back in school, I might even volunteer at the adoption center about 1 mile away, and maybe even be a foster parent, who knows what the future will hold.

Well I think that all of us are a bit down right now, as the summer is drawing to a close and we are all hoping that we will all do better. Here is to better time spent on doing the things that the summer makes us forget.

Magic in California

Jen and I did a rill good job convincing Mom to play in a very non-missionary way with us. :) Enjoy!

Easy Cheese

I know Mike has already capitalized on this a lot, but doing those sit-ups, crunches, or push-ups (and the 10 minutes of stretching) are good easy points. Mind you they may not be "easy" per se, but they're easy in that you don't have to go anywhere, and if you need a few more points to make a daily/weekly goal, those are nice fillers. I've been doing those this week (although unfortunately haven't been to the gym lately). Anyway, give them a try if you haven't yet. And if you do them at various times during the day, you'll be surprised how many extra points you rack up.

Way to go, everyone!

125

i really didn't have a good week, so I need to go out more, but that might be hard this week as I am making yummy Plum jam most of the week. I did lose some weight but it wasn't a pound and it also wasn't less than what I was last time I lost weight, so I didn't count it, but its in the right direction. I hope that we can all still lose weight and have fun doing it, even though we all get slumps every now and again.

Have a great week and I am planning on going out on the bike at least once this week, so watch for more points from me
