My vision board is working. You all have to give this very simple technique a try. I am back in the gym. I did 4.5 miles and one hour on the elliptical. If any of you need help please let me know. Synthia

Well today, I made a vision board. Made up of past pictures when I was then, some goals (food, exercise), what I would do after I lose the weight (trip, clothes). Put it in picture form, placed it on my desk, so I see it every day. I believe this will keep me on track.  Synthia.....Girl Power

Boy have you every had one of those days where you crave something. Today mine was cottage cheese. I had 16oz of cottage cheese...not at once. Mid snack, lunch and then dinner. I think I have satisfied that craving?

The show was awesome....Ali...Congratulations.......Kelly looked great....Roger what a good job! Bernie. WOW Congratulations. Amanda, Jackie, Curtis, Neil, and Peggy Sue everyone did a great thing for all of us. And all in 21 weeks. ALL OF US CAN DO THIS.....TOO!!!

Well if you have not seen the BL finale, do not read this.   The show did not disappoint.  If you've read my blog before you know how upset I was when Bob set up the teams the way he did. Well...... Hmmmmm.....let's see.....he did not choose the blue team, Bernie and Brittany.....and who won the $1000.00  ....Bernie....Who is the Biggest Loser.......Ali.....Now someone please remind me.....who trained them??????   JILLIAN!!!!  I am sooooo happy.....I guess since this is about weight loss I should update that.   My weight has remained the same.   I walked 8 miles on Saturday and suffered an injury....I went to an ortho and found out I did not have enough support in my shoes....He gave me some supports for my arches and I cannot beleive how much better I feel.  He said I should be able to still walk the 1/2 marathon in two weeks.  I did not think I could with the way I felt yesterday, but I already feel so much better.  Well keep it positive everyone!

Drum roll.......And the winner is.........

I am sure most of you have heard about Jillian's radio show every Sunday. I find the radio show to be awesome. I found a link where you can listen to past shows. Here is this great link Archives to Jillian radio show. Enjoy  Synthia

Not much going on, it's been a beautiful day. Went to my niece's softball game. Did yard work, and the dreaded TAXES!!!!!  Keep a look out for the MPM reunion.

Had to renew my membership at gym. 24 Hour Fit, ran a special, so I signed up for 3yrs. Start back at the gym tomorrow. While camping was able to watch BL, this show keeps getting better and better. I thought last weeks show was the best ever. Now I am back from vacation, can't wait to get to the gym. Vacation is nice, but home is better. 

Well I journaled  my diet today.  I am up to just under 1,000 calories.  (the nights not over).  I did boot camp today and I am quite sore.  Keep up the good work everyone.

I'm also struggling.  I find journaling helps but also being prepared.  I need to go shopping so I have healthy foods on hand.  I was trying to keep up but would go to work without a packed lunch, then when I get to work I was not making good choices.  I also need to blog more frequently.  I think that also helped.  

This is Lillian blogging for Synthis.  She called me and wanted me to blog becausee she is camping and cannot go on-line.  She is still struggling and plans to get on track when she gets back.  We are also loving the BL and feel it is the best season yet.  Hang in there everyone.

Just plugging along. Got back to the gym today. Yeah!!! Hope everyone is doing great! We are comming up onto the last two Biggest Loser shows. It sure been a great season.

I am still working out.  I am trying to add some walking in the evenings.  My weight is the same, but I am not really watching my diet.  I started journaling again but stopped.  I need to get back in that habit.  I was losing weight when I did the journaling.  Keep up the good work everyone.

The weather has been great here . Plan on getting out and doing some yard work Saturday. I am looking for some ideals   on how to put together a boot camp. When I went to TN, I got to see Lillian's boot camp workout. You should see her YMCA gym and the obstacle course she gets to use. That workout is awesome, at her gym they have those same half balls that are use on the Biggest Loser. I tryed to jump on one, had trouble the first try, but for balance, man the're great. Well anyway, we do not have a gym that offers anything like that here . Would like to see if I could get something started, any ideals where to begin. Thanks. And Happy Easter to everyone. Love you all. Synthia

I went to boot camp today.  Whoo what a workout.  I also journaled today.  I do so much better if I write down everything I am eating and track the calories.  I am going to try and do this consistantly for the next month.  We'll see how it works.

The show was great! Love the make-overs.  I am a bit jealous though.  TIM GUNN……! How lucky......He is awesome. Sorry to see Brittany go, I really wanted to see her go all the way. As for Mark  ………Please give it a rest.
