Notes:  My husband is screwing me up.  I told him that I wasn't going to eat fast food for the month of September but now he keeps taking me to restaurants.  We ate out three times this weekend! 

We went to Hooters, because he wanted wings and then I told him I wanted to be a Hooters Girl for Halloween and he said...Yeah...a 40 year old Hooters Girl.  It made me really mad!

Then I asked him if he'd buy me a Hooters outfit if I got down to 180 pounds and he said he'd buy me a cabin in Canada if I did that.  As if I couldn't do it so he came up with the most outlandish and stupid thing he could reward me with.

To add insult to injury...I then had to eat dinner with his family.  You know...the people that eat enough food for a hundred people.  Of course, my plate came to me with a burger AND a brat on it and I can't eat both so I only ate the burger.  They served my children each two hot dogs.  I took one of their plates because they don't NEED two hot dogs.  They are 3 and 4.

After my husband gorged himself...he told his Mother that he can't eat at her house anymore because he stuffs himself.  And she said, ' THAT'S WONDERFUL!'  I gave her the dirtiest look I could muster and told her that it is NOT wonderful because eating that much food kills people.

Needless to say...Yesterday wasn't a very good day.

Thintervention: Week 1

I'm really excited about the new Bravo show called Thintervention with Jackie Warner! I decided to take notes while I'm watching in case something important happens that I want to remember.


Jeana, 54  , Unhappy with her weight and her family disapproves of her.

Stacy 23, Comedian....loves food and has PCOS.

Nikki, 39, is a Life Advisor, loves cocktails and smoking.

Bryan, 36, runs a film company...and he's gay. A chubby gay.  Hides food all over the house.

Joe, 35, loves cheeseburgers and banging hot girls. Likes to flirt but doesn't have sex because of how he looks.

Shannon, 22,  a college student and is unable to resist food.

Kim, 47, used to be an athlete and fitness model.

Mandy, 48, loves to take baths with her husband and is a stay at home mom.   Loves food and finishes her kids food.  Kids call her a scavenger.


Homework: Clear all sugar from the house.  Brain is addicted.  Cranky for a few days and then you won't want it anymore.

Anything with over 5g of sugar has to go.  And No alcohol for the alkie.

They each get a blackberry so that they can log their food and Jackie can get ahold of them at any time.

Alkie loves her drinks to death.

They get text message from Jackie that they have to walk, run or crawl 2 miles in the morning.

(commercial break...I go to the pantry and my kids cereal both has more than 5g of sugar per serving and my favorite Quaker Chewy Granola Bars have 7g.  I'm afraid to look any further.)

Jackie is on Jeana's doorstep....and she's about to find out that she has a chef that is making her  food.

2 eggs
Cottage Cheese
Oatmeal
Free Range Chicken

Meals should contain a meat and a veggie.

2 giant things of water with a dash of lemon juice in it to help burn fat and detoxify liver!.

Jackie goes to Mandy's house to check on her and finds that she has baked a bunch of treats.  Claims that she's going to give it away.  Purpose was to change how she thinks about sugar.

SUGAR=Garbage

Needs to give kids berries or apples to show love instead of treats.

Makes Mandy do sprints and push ups and jumping jacks for her workout.  She's about to die after 10 minutes.

Jackie goes to Bryan's house to check on his cupboards and we find out he ate two cookies.  He had to kiss the sugar goodbye.  She brought him two cookies and shows him it's 140 calories and she's going to make him carry the cookies while he runs up and down the stairs.

Cookies are pain!!

(commercial break...I'm going to throw away my granola bars....and the rest of the pop tarts)

Laguna...on the beach for today's workout in surf and sand.  Jackie says that Nikki isn't taking this seriously.  50 crunches on the fitness beach ball....but first they have to blow them up.  Something tells me Nikki won't be able to blow because of her smoking problem.

Feel the burn!  Belly crawl in the sand, Wedgie in the front is a Veggie.  Flipping tires across the beach.  Nikki's kicking ass!  Oops...now Nikki is laying in her tire.

Nikki wants to do something hideously unladylike and smack Jackie.  She's tells them they are saving their own lives.

Jeana invites Joe, Bryan and Nikki back to her house to eat food prepared by her chef.

Bryan is jealous of Jeana's house and money.  Joe is afraid that Jeana wants to date him and they make fun of Nikki for being a Life Advisor that works for free.  Jeana says that Nikki is pretty well fed for being underemployed and she finds her mysterious.

(commercial...I'm going to get a glass of water and think about throwing away all of my soda. Lord Help ME!)

Jackie sneaks into Nikki's house and starts going through her fridge.  It's full of alcohol.  She tells Nikki that she has to take care of herself.

Group therapy and Weigh In Time!

Dr. Ramini wants to know why they think they are overweight.  The reasons range from having cancer to emotional holes in their souls.

(commercial break...thinking about going for a walk in the morning and what I'm going to wear.)


Stacy...starting weight 224... lost  7 pounds...or a small puppy.

Bryan...starting weight 259, lost 7 pounds

Jeana...starting weight 174....lost 4 pounds.

Hiking Red Rocks

On my 39th birthday almost a year ago I made a list of things that I wanted to do before my 40th birthday.  One of these things was to hike Red Rocks. I originally thought I would RUN Red Rocks but I changed my mind. Because I'm not as crazy as I look.

I was so happy when my friend Denise offered to go with me.  She's a true Colorado Girl and loves to hike and go on adventures.  She also likes donuts and we decided to bring some with us next time as a reward for walking up all of the steps.

Plus it would be fun to eat them while watching the boot camp folks.



My lungs were screaming at me to stop and go home...but I kept going! 

I made it to the top!  It looks like that guy is falling down the stairs...and that I'm flipping someone off....

This right here is why I will never do a boot camp.  I don't know what the heck these people were doing.

When I got back to my car...I was conveniently parked at Target, and I was feeling so good and healthy that I bought fresh Wild Salmon for dinner and couldn't wait to go home and make a turkey and avocado sandwich on the Sandwich Thins that I bought the other day.

I feel so good right now that I think I want to do this every single Sunday.  And I learned a new exercise watching a cute little gal.  I'm going to do this every day so that I can have a nice butt like she has.  The boobs will probably cost me a little cash though.





Some interesting facts about Red Rocks....

5 Foods to Leave at the Store

I tried on my white pants today....it's not good.  I think I'm going to have to get drastic next week and forgo all carbs.  

I was watching Dr. Oz yesterday and I took some notes because he was talking about the 5 foods to keep out of your grocery cart.

1. Simple Sugars, Carbs and Unhealthy Fats....cookies, pie, ice cream.

2. Nitrates and Saturated Fats...processed meats

3. Ingredients you can't pronounce.

4. Fake Healthy Foods...low fat items

5. Canned Foods High in Sodium...soup.



Things I'm going to add to our diet.

• Ground Flax Seed
• 
  
• Sweet Potatoes
• 
  
• Millet

Best Made Plans...

I haven't been on my walk at all this week.  I'm so frustrated!

The first couple nights...either I couldn't sleep or one of my children couldn't sleep and you know when you're a parent...you sleep when you can when you've been up for hours during the night.

I'm not good at being sleep deprived. 

Last night I finally remembered to take my sleeping pill and I woke up in time for my walk...and so did my daughter. 

I know my husband worked until the wee hours this morning so I can't ask him to get up. 

Oh well.

I guess the answer is that I need to get up much earlier...like 5:30am.

How are  you doing with you goals this week?
