Lori and Tami: Million Pound Matchup

Hello to all.  I am here watching the Biggest Looser show at Tami's and wanted to share that things are going well.  I got my mojo back meaning that I have a the drive and determination to move forward.  I have lost 4 lbs and continue working hard.  I am trying to get under 200 by Feb 28th. I ony have 5 lbs to go so that should not be a problem.  Thanks for all your support and all your encouragement. 

Yesterday afternoon I saw my trainer Rhonda, and let me tell you she kicked my booty all over the gym. It was a lot of fun, she had me sweating within like 7 or 8 minutes, and I mean sweating hard! She put through a full body workout for an hour, then I set up another appointment to see her next tuesday to keep my momentum. After my hardcore workout Lori came by and we did 30 minutes on the Elliptical machine. Then she came over and watched the Biggest Loser at my house and we had some sushi. I couldn't believe that Jackie got voted off, even though I knew they were voting for her I still couldn't believe that man swore on his kids and then stepped all over that promise.
So I think I am going to cut back on the sushi, I have it like 3 or 4 times a week with wasabi and soy sauce and I think that is causing me to reatain my weight. I am gonna give it up for a week and see how it goes. I hope everyone enjoyed the show last night! Have great weeks!

I ended up with Bronchitis right after my birthday on Jan 23 and I was out of commission for a full 7 days and now I am still struggling with breathing issues so my workouts are going very very very slow.  I ended up having an asthma problem from the bronchitis.  So it has been very frustrating but on a good note I have paid more attention with my food intake and prepping.  So I am getting that under control.  I am going to the gym just not able to do a full workout but I figure keeping up the routine is better than nothing and I do burn some calories.  So its going good and just gotta do what you can where you can.  Take care.  Lori

So I am working out with my trainer Rhonda today after work. It's been a few weeks since I have had her work me out, and I am scared she is going to kill me. Oh well wish me luck ya'll. . . Lori and I plan on sitting down tonight after work to talk about our workouts....we will post more then.

So it's been a while since I have posted on here, and I am sorry. I thought about doing it everyday just never got to it. So Lori has been at death's door for like 2 weeks and while I have been working out consistently it has been hard, and I haven't put as much effort into it as I do when she is there working out with me. I don't know why it is easier to work with someone else then it is to work by yourself. I haven't gained any weight and I actually went down a pant size so that is good news but the scale seems to be stuck at 234 and it is making me crazy a few days I even tried to cut my calories drastically to see if that would get me going again (bad idea, i know) but the number on the scale went up. I was floored, so of course I did what every other person with food issues does and I binged because I felt depressed and then I felt even worse for binging. All I want is to see the damn scale move...sorry I don't mean to curse but no other word applies.
So saturday I went to turbo kickboxing and my trainer Rhonda was there, thank goodness I probably would have left if she wasn't. Afterwards we went and did a few exercises for the abs and butt. It was a lot of fun! I worked yesterday and then went to the gym and then home and to sleep. nothing exciting Lori and I are working out this evening and hopefully we can get back to kicking butt.
