The Results

The weigh in went very well, I lost 4 lbs.  I wanted to lose more but I am very happy with the four pounds.  Week two is always the hardest week on the Biggest Loser Show to lose weight so we are no different.  Your probably wondering how the team did, well we lost 13 lbs total.  I should know on Monday what place we are in.  My daughter & I found out some interesting stuff about our food habits.  We went out to eat for the first time in over two weeks.  The menu was really big so it took us awhile to find out what we wanted to eat.  We settled on a ranch wrap even though the chicken was breaded.  It came with a cup of soup but we had a side salad instead.  It also came with fries or fruit and we of course got the fruit.  We were eating our salads, low fat french on the side talking how important it is to have a partner when trying to lose weight.  We both notice that on the Biggest Loser TV show they have the people come in as pairs and we believe that the support of each other is what keeps you going.  We both agreed we might not have made it through some of the days without each other pushing or saying "Don't eat that!"  Our main meal came and the wraps had two halves that were pretty big, I was amazed.  We failed to read that the wrap came fried or something so we missed that.  As we were eating I talked about getting a sub for my husband and saving half of our wraps for later.  Half way through the first half I said to Rachel "why are we eating the other half when we both know it's not that healthy for us.  Condition, we are in such a habit of not noticing what we eat or how much it's like we are on auto pilot.  We learned so much from lunch today, it was another breakthrough.  Just by habit we go through the motions of eating & eating & eating.  Guess what we brought the two halves home for my husband and he enjoyed the wraps to.
     Some other members on teams at work are into heckling us about doing so well and telling us we won't keep up the weight lost.  What they don't know is this is a journey into discovering why we eat wrong and not letting food control us anymore.  So heckle away because this is a life long journey commitment!
