A NEW YEAR, A NEW JOURNEY, A NEW START-HERE WE COME! WE CAN MAKE IT IN 2009!
 

The Grey Team...

Why we are here............ How much we plan to lose............How we plan to lose it........... We have talked about applying for The Biggest Loser for a while. Both of us were not so sure we could take the time from work, or pass a health test to do so. When we saw the MIllion Pound Matchup contest we knew that was our chance to finally stick to a plan, to be held accountable for our loss. We jumped at the opportunity to join the biggest loser community! Now the contest is over, but our participation is not. We will keep up this site and continue to support all of the friends we have made. We almost feel like we too are on the show. Why will we do it? Who knows. We would like to think that we have helped others and inspired others through our journey. Also we have learned quite a bit. We have learned our strengths, our weakness, when to ask for help, and how much a kind word from a stranger, or to a stranger can change your whole day. If we get to our goal we would like to think of it as a win for all overweight people who have tried and failed, just to try again and succeed. Not even a victory of losing all the weight, but a victory of taking it slow and working toward that ultimate goal. We aren't going to get weight loss surgery or use pills-We plan to do this the old fashioned way, diet and EXERCISE! Not just dieting, but changing our lifestyles. Here we come...

A Couple Of Our Motivations...

 
Photobucket Safety Pins - A Motivational Idea: An idea to have a secret signal between Biggest Losers. Wear a safety pin on your shirt near your left shoulder when working out. The plan is to have an outward signal to show that we are not alone. (safety pins are low key; it holds things together, and it will be a constant reminder that one day we may never need a pin for a quick fix). If you are a woman and have ever worn a button up shirt that is a little too small... then you understand. If you see someone at the gym with a pin on their shirt, just give a nod or a smile of understanding. When you think you can't keep going on your workout, grab the safety pin and think about WHY you want this! If you are too shy to wear a safety pin on the outside of your shirt, try pinning it on the inside so only the back shows. WE Biggest Losers must stick together!

Lisa's Blog- It was a good day....

So today I woke up early to a phone call. We were supposed to go see a cat, try to adopt her. The phone call was from the lady we were going to meet. My immediate fear was that she decided to give the cat away to someone else. No she just called to say she would be running late! Whew! So We got her! She is beatiful, and honestly the first bright spot for me in a while. So she now lives under my bed! lol. Later today I got a phone call. It was to let me know my resume was being evaluated and to look for a call next week to set up an interview! It's not the job I want, but it's a job I know I can do, and I know I can make some money with. So I am glad! Not a bad day at all!

Lisa's Blog- Baby steps

I had a complete breakdown with my boyfriend yesterday. It was needed, but not intended. It's started with a cute sentence...."I was talking to you while you were sleeping. I had things to say to you and thought that it was the best time to do it." Expecting a laugh or whatever. No he's all upset. "What did you say please tell me" he says to me over and over and over. So I said "I wish you knew how to love me" I say this because I have an eating disorder and depression. So next thing I know I am crying my eyes out and he runs to me and wraps his arms around me. I finally let it all out. Everything. All my concerns and issues he now knows. I felt naked. My walls were down. He knew everything inside my head. So we made plans, he even went on line looking at healthy lifestyles! He is working hard on finding out what he can about depression as well.
Other issue. We make ends meet, like most families in this economy. So now I have done our budgeted grocery shopping for the week. I bought cheap and crap. The boys don't like food that you prepare. They like to open wide and have food fall in. So the food I have been buying has slowly become sodium full quick fix meals. More and more my cart fills with this and less and less with foods I would lovingly create. I look around my kitchen and almost cry again. I bought healthy cereal. Am I eating this til next grocery trip? LOL I will double up my fluids, grab a bag of salad mix and do the best I can. We can not afford a whole new trip to the market! Bill says he will eat all healthy around me. I think our roommate will be fine with that too as long as it is made and ready just to reheat! Baby steps people! Baby steps until I can break free of convieniece food.

Lisa's Blog- :-(

No other words to describe it. Just :-(  My boyfriend is so great. However (ya'll knew that was coming!) He sees something bad for me and without thinking wioll just say "babe we should order that" and then BAM here I sit too full and feeling fat because we ordered it =( Damn it. Oh he is also out trying to find the new dorito. Help me!!!! I am going to sit on the couch and watch tv all day while eating doritos now. Oh he is also getting movies. Movies and doritos. This is 2007 all over again. I need to change things. I just spent 10 minutes brushing flossing and mouthwashing. 1) trying to forget I just ate all that food 2) so I won't dive into the doritos before he gets the movie on. I hate this rain also. We should be outside playing with the pup. Where the hell is Lara!! She is supposed to read these and call me to kick my ass. Oh well. I am off to kick my own ass. Somehow...........

Lisa's Blog- Back to Salisbury

So I just went back home for a week. I had an amazing week. I got to spend lots of time with my good friends! Good friends such as Lara! Open-mouthed We had fun. We did our usual stuff, shopping, laughing, pedicures. If any of you have followed our blogs in the past you know Lara is a great person! She works hard, putting too much pressure on herself sometimes. But mainly Lara is one of those people who has friends, but only 1 or 2 are close with her. Well it was 2. She and her friend had a falling out I guess you would say. I just know where this "friend" is concerned there is strain. Anywho.......we are at the salon and this "friend" walks by her and doesn't even say hi, smile, wave, nothing. Lara is understandably hurt. So I decide to say hello when she walks back through. She did stop a minute and chat. Polite chat. Then says a quick Hi to Lara and leaves. So my question is....Was that an olive branch? Or just being polite? If it was an olive branch she would have called Lara by now or even sent an e mail right? Should Lara just forget her exisitence and move on, writing this girl off forever? I don't know. All I know is Lara will be getting quite a workout move to the 3rd floor condo soon! SAVE YOUR STRENGTH NOW! LOL I need to go clean and workout a bit my self!

Lisa's Blog- Official day one

SO here we go. It's day one all over again. I am back to researching and looking up recipes and I worked out yesterday as well as prepping to workout again today. I have a belly filled with healthy food, and am set. I started using this calorie counting website, complete with a texting calorie counter and a toolbar that will help you keep track of your calorie intake and a bright little reminder of your weight loss or gain. I also get graded on my food. Yesterday I had a c-. Today I have an A. Yesterday is over. Everyday I must realize that yesterday is over. Today is here. During my (re)lifestyle change I also must learn that I am here for me. Somedays that is all I will have. Today, day one, all I have is me.  I know everyone wants whats best for me, but I am crazy in my head, and think they don't know how to support me. If you tell me no you are being controlling, I will not be controlled! If you tell me yes, then you don't love me. If you loved me you'd say no. Oh my. Lara help me get thru this!! I will get thru this. I know it! Well I'm off to raise my heartrate!
