JUST AN UPDATE!!!!

Hey guys....been a little while so I thought I would pop in!!! Everyone is doing so great...I am so proud. I just hope everyone that was voted off is staying with it. Newho....here is an updated pic. I did great last week, but this week has not been so hot. My father is in the hospital and I have been spending most of my time up there. Newho I have not been able to work out as much. I have stuck to the diet and took the stairs at the hospital instead of elevators so maybe that helped a little. This pic is not the greatest but I am in my Memphis Blue!!! GO MEMPHIS! WE ARE PROUD OF YOU FOR GOING SUCH A LONG WAY! WE'LL GET'EM NEXT YEAR!!!!

It's getting harder!!!

It's getting close to the end!!! It's getting harder and harder for them guys to choose someone to vote off. I'm glad (kind of) I'm not in you guys shoes! Newho.....If I was still in it I would have totally been the biggest loser this week. I have lost 6 more lbs. Just my luck! Congrats to all of the ones that are still in it! Andy be proud you did great! Just think.....IT'S MEXICAN TIME. LOL!!!!

OMG!!! I can't believe!!

Hey guys what up???? LOL!! Just wanted to let everyone know I'm still rocking it!! Yep Yep!!! I did cheat the day I got voted off but have been sticking with it every since. It was kind of funny the fatty food didn't taste good to me. I guess my mindset on food has changed. So for you fans that is keeping up with this....LOL.... I got on scale this morning and have now lost another 6lbs. Ummmm if I was still in contest I would be whooping some major bootayyyyyyy! They ought to be glad they got rid of me when they did, LOL! Oh well you win some and lose some. Newho....here are pics to let you guys see my progress!!! Second pic is me today. Shirt and pants are to big and make me look a lil bigger than I really am, but you can still see the differance. Lubs all of you guys!!!!

The Dreaded Red X

Hey guys I am still here!!!! I might have a red X on my face but I'm still doing my thing!! I am working my tail off still doing the diet and working out! My new mission.........I will lose more than the WINNER! LOL!!!! I'm now in competition with myself. This is my philosophy....I'm gonna kick butt and see if I could have been the winner. I may not do it, but I sure am gonna try! So keep up with me..........I'm gonna keep blogging to let you guys see how well I am doing and I want you guys to still support me. KEEP ROCKING!!!!! PEACE OUT!!!!!

Back by Popular Demand...LOL!

Ok guys...I have recieved phone calls and emails wanting me to repost this so here it is. Some people could not pick up the blogger player so I humiliated myself once again and put it on youtube. Enjoy!!!

Everyone has one so here is mine!!!

First I want to start off by saying......this is only me venting! I feel like I have the right to vent! I'm not being devious it's just enquiring minds want to know.

I'm confused as hell! How come I got voted off???? Let's start with sweet lil Andy....she says it was because I was tired!!! Hell yeah I was tired!!! After my workout last night I was on my way home and bam....transmission fluid was everywhere. From the time I broke down, walked the interstate and had someone to pick me up it was 2 hours. Get that.....2 hours on the interstate between 8:00 & 10:00 last night. As much as I like Andy, girl just come out and say it. You were worried. I have thick skin, I understand it is a competition. I was in second place to you with overall percentage and getting rid of me was just easy. If it would have been you in the bottom 2 I would have voted you off because you were one ahead of me. Come on......TIRED? Everyone on this team was tired at some time or another but they were not voted off for it. I admire you and really want you to do your best....but at the same time I want you to quit hiding behind others. JUST DO IT!! Don't worry about what anyone else thinks. YOU BE YOU! I do appreciate all of your support....heck we have a crying video showing it. LOL! Thanks for the kind words. I will miss you like crazy.

Again confused...............Lindsay what nice things you had to say about me. I really did appreciate it. You told me yourself I had a target on my back because of the weight I had lost previously. So to you I have to stand up and applaud because you were the only one that kept it real and told people how you felt. You gave me a run and made me hump that much more. I did everything I could not to be in that bottome 2. What I don't understand is you specifically told me that I was out the door when it was Michella and I in the bottom 2 (let's remind everyone I was not suppose to be in bottom 2 because they screwed up my weight) newho...but when it was changed to Michella and Jeanne you voted for Jeanne because Michella had the most weight to lose and Jeanne was not a threat to you. So my question is......combined weight I had lost more than Amanda she was the bigger of the two of us......she like Michellas was the bigger but she did not get voted off, so I'm assuming you don't think at this time Amanda is a threat? I don't know just asking. I guess I am just confused about your whole stategy thingy. Whatever it is run with it..it seems to be working for you.

Momma Tina........heck I don't know about you.......Karson & Kennedy ask me one day on the phone "if I didn't win who would I like to see win?" I said you....simply because you were showing everyone up. Heck you could have thrown me a bone............I had already lost because of the two votes from Andy & Lindsey. Watch your back your next because you are a threat. LOL!!!

I want all of you to know.....I am not mad.....heck it's a competition and a damn fine one at that. I had lots of fun with all of you guys and would do it all over again, but play it a lot smarter. The one thing I am very upset and disappointed about is how people acted. First week everyone excited cuz they lost alot of weight. Myself had only lost 3 lbs but I still stood up and congratulated everyone. Second week same thing. Again, I stood up still congratulating and rooting for everyone! Third week I'm the biggest loser and I'm treated like I have a disease. Everyone upset and crying cuz they might be in the bottom 2 OMG if the radio folks could have seen some of the way people acted that day! Not one single person congratulated me except Michella. Amanda did write a nice note on her blog, but nothing is as soothing as having someone come up to you and congratulate you. Not one........everyone just seemed to be into themselves. This is when the team stopped being a team! A couple of people had heart to heart talks w/ Kelly & Brian and then the next day come to me and said congrats but only after they expressed their strong feelings about how it wasn't fair. I don't know call me crazy, As a team I wouldn't think you would have a problem with congratulating me. I always made sure I congratulated everyone and told them how proud. Walking up to you and blogging about it. The one person I didn't expect anything at all from was Niki {from the other team}and she blogged about me all day long. She did more for me than my own team. Moving on.....last week due to a foul up with the weight loss...I was in the bottom 2 by mistake...you have to know what battles to choose, so I just went with it. Thanks to Jeanne I was saved. I still congratulated everyone. Told them not to worry about me...if you had to vote me out I understood its a competition....everyone saying "we are a team nothing personal" "we are all gonna have to go someday" "lets all just do our best" ..well blah blah blah....I took it personal when my own team didn't even so much pick up the phone to see how I was doing after the big Vote. Were you embarrassed because you voted me off. WHY? It's a competition. I have waited so long today to post this blog just to see how "my team" would react. As expected it was exactly that. It's sad to say.......I got phone calls from the FOOD FIGHTERS!! They all told me to keep it up.....they all told me they were sad to see me go...........but nothing from my own team. HOW'S THAT FOR TEAM??? We were all fighting for the same prizes its no big deal but damn show some compassion. I did get a call from Michella her and I have decided to become garage buddies and do our thing. We will send you pics! LOL!



Now as far as workouts...........YES I want to be there..........yes.....it cost lots of gas money. It doesn't mean I was just after $5000.00 cuz that's not the case. I just need to rest a day or two and then I will be back. HA HA Andy...I had a nice big Mexican meal with all of the trimmings for lunch today. I'm not going back to that life style, but it was nice to reward myself for all of my hard work. You guys keep rocking it!!!

Hard to say Goodybye!!

Well guys it was me! I am so sorry if I let anyone down that was rooting for me. I want you all to know I gave 150%! First I want to thank everyone...then I will vent on the next blog!
First my girl SPRING, you have been my rock throughout this whole competition. There were days I just didn't think I was going to make it and you pulled me through. THIS GIRL BROUGHT ME SHOES!! She did anything and everything to keep me going and I LOVE YOU for it!!!
To Kelsi......thanks bunches!!! No mother could ever be so blessed. You ran with me...ate the same foods as I and didn't complain one time because I wasn't there to help you with homework or make track meets or ball games. Now that this is over and I know I can do it....IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU NOW!
DALLAS.....my lil' buddy. Thanks for being there! You rock! Your talks & text help to encourage me.
Michella....I still believe you were voted off to early and I still believe you deserve a second chance. I loved our chats and love the fact that you still encouraged me even though you were no longer there. I know that was hard for you, but that just shows what type of person you are! I'll cherish our friendship and I think us MS outcast should start working out together! We can meet in the middle!! LOL!!!
Captain & Kelly - You guys are awesome!!! I want to thank you very much for giving me the knowledge I needed to become a more fit and a better person. You guys pushed me and kicked my butt in gear. For that you guys get many thanks!

LOVE TO ALL AND THANKS FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY Q107.5

Where did that muscle come from?

I am so freakin' SORE!!! The top of my thighs are burning! I finally think I am getting use to it, I'm not sore anymore and then BAM...they hit you again with something harder to challenge your body and your sore all over again. I love it but at the same time HATE it!! I know it's good for me, but I'm here to say IT HURTS!!!! I'm not having problems with food or schedule just sore muscles.

easter sunday

I got up at 5:30 this morning. Took a 1 hour jog/walk and slept the rest of the day!

KMAKVISION!!

LIFE CHANGE!

LAUGH!!!!

Researchers showed that the participants "burned 20 percent more calories when laughing, compared to not laughing." Depending on body size and how hard a person laughs, researches calculated that if somebody laughed from 10 or 15 minutes a day they could burn up to 50 calories. In other words, if you laughed for 10-15 minutes a day, you'd burn enough calories to lose about 4.4 pounds in a year.

Ok ... I had this really funny blog planned, but evidently youtube is not working today! LOL!!!
Newho......To all of my competitiors.....Happy Easter! Enjoy your time with your family and get ready to come back and rock it on MONDAY!!!

ME MYSELF & I

That's right I said it!!!! This competition is all about me!!! From the get go I was totally in this to change my life! Learn how to eat, learn the correct exercises, make some friends that were going through the same things I was, but now.........It's a competition!! Don't take me wrong, it is still all about me and what I will take from this, but I was told straight up I was a threat!! Why I have no idea, {maybe it was that 11.25 lbs I lost last week} but they said I was. So now knowing I have a target on my back, I am gonna make sure I do everything in my power to stay. We are half way through, sitting back and listening you can really tell who is in this for their life change and who is in it for the prizes!! A trip to the beach and $5000 would really be nice, but if its not in God's Plan it's not gonna happen. So I have to sit back and be the best me that I can be. If I am voted off because some people think I'm a threat then so be it....I don't want it because I think there is so much more to learn, but if so, I am ready to tackle the outside world with my "LIFE CHANGE!"

BRING SHELLBEAN BACK!!!!

Michella.....I hate you are gone. KEEP UP THE HARD WORK....we gonna get you back. I need all of my friends to vote for Shellbean!!!!! She has something to prove!!!!!!

Niki Rocked the Scales!!

First let me say WHOOT WHOOT Niki...you rocked the scales upside down and inside out! Proud of ya girly....glad one of us made it to the top after our little talk!!! Newho....I escaped elimination by the skin of my teeth!!! I was in the bottom 2 then Baby Jean stepped up and told the truth! That put her in the bottom 2. Gotta love her for it!! So now Baby Jean gets a WHOOT WHOOT!

What I have to do now is step up my plan!! How am I gonna go above everyone else? In the words of Arsenio Hall...............Things That Make you go UMMMMMMMMMMMMM !!

OMG!! This Boy the Best!!!

DALLAS CAMERON BUFFKIN!!!

Ok so there are certain people you just have to thank for everything they do for you!!! Well this is him!!! Thank You So Much for all of your support!!!

Let me tell you a little about Dallas. He has been part of my family's life for several years. I treat him like he is my own. He is there for us, as well as we are for him. He has been so supportive when it comes to the BL. He really wants to see me do well in this competition. I do not want to let him down! When family has not been there, he has! He even offered on several occasions to work out with me. HOW IS THAT FOR A DAUGHTERS EX-BOYFRIEND??? He's the greatest!

text: What did you eat today Sonya?

text: How was your workout?

text: I got everyone to vote for you like 23 people!

So on and so on.........text after text....keeps me going! I love it! Good thing I have unlimited text. LOL!!! Thanks Bunches Dallas!!!

U of M Fieldhouse????

ummmm....just received text from Kelly, said be at UofM fieldhouse..wonder what she has planned????? I am hurting all over from this mornings workout....I sure hope she don't feel like working the dog snot out of us tonight!!!!!

Am I gonna be there?

The day after tomorrow....am I gonna be there?? Ok...so last week I had a really big weight loss. This week I have been doing extra trying to maintain that. I haven't felt like I have lost any weight. I was kind of down yesterday and I ran into CSI Niki....OMG!!! The best talk ever! I was able to get some things off my chest. That alone was the best. I felt tons melted off of me at that time!!! She made me realize that I was not the only one going thru these things. It was great talking with her. So last night and today....I kicked back into gear!! I didn't let anything get in my way!! Thanks NIKI!!!!

Just another Manic Monday!!

Alrighty, yes it is getting easier, but my abs are killing me from Saturday's workout!!! After workout I went to the Cresent Center to set in Sauna and do another workout. Got stay on top! Newho...feel much better I am now in Mississppi and on my way to take my mom to therapy. (another workout...I have to work just as hard as her during therapy) If you guys don't know my mom had a stroke and become blind. She is working real hard to be independent and I'm right there beside her. Talk to you guys later!!!!

STAND!! THIS IS 4 ALL OF US!!

So I'm up at 3:30 this morn getting ready for Saturday Morning Boot Camp. I turn on TV, flip through video music channels and there it is! The song/video that describes this emotional roller coaster we are all on!! Now some of you might have heard of this before, but me, no I am not much on country music. It sent chills up my spine and made me really think to myself. I mean, sometimes I wonder how the heck am I still going?? So for KRACKEN-CSI NIKI-ABIZZLE-ODESSA-POOH BEAR-TEACHER LINDSAY ALI-THUMPER-TEACHER ANDY-SHELLBEAN-MOMMA TINA-BABY JEANNE AND MYSELF KMAK I dedicate this song.

Some of my favorite words from Song
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend til you break
Cause it's all than you can take

On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you stand, then you stand!!

See video below and enjoy!!!!

Rascal Flatts - Stand

Hope you guys enjoyed and appreciated it as much as I did!! HOLLA!

It's Official..my butt has been Kicked!!

So last night I'm at the gym and I'm doing everything I possibly can to get my heart rate up and it just wasn't going. Ok...so I can deal let me just get a good sweat on and then I look over...Lydsay is kicking but on the eliptical!! Heck yea...she had went one hour...5 miles...burned 900 calories and then my competitive edge come out. Thinking to myself if I don't do something she's gonna kick my butt this week. She was really inspiring. So what do I do??? I talk to GI JANE KELLY and she bet me she could get the heart rate up. I said, "BRING IT!" ..........and she did!!!! She challenged me more and more this morning...every time she would challenge me I would give it to her...and then she says that's not good enough...."I want your heart rate up to 150" WHAT THE HECK??? So I worked harder and harder. I worked my butt off, needless to say Kirby Pkwy is now the beneficiary of some of my bodily fluids!! This is the first time I have upchucked from a workout!! I loved it and feel so good this morning..I have so much more energy! So I'm here to tell the world........being a person of my word and saying it out loud,

GI JANE KELLY KICKED MY BUTT THIS MORNING & WON OUR LITTLE CHALLENGE!!! THANKS GI JANE KELLY!!

Where is my Team??

I really want to know where the freakin GUT BUSTERS were today?? Where were all the cheerful faces? Where were all the slaps on the back and good goings? Where was the vibe we normally have??? Guys we have been doing so great...let's not let one bad week take us down that fast. Greg {I love you, trying to get team pumped up here} was a great asset to our team, but one person does not make a team! We have all laughed, we have all joked, and we have all danced!!! Let's start it up again. Greg would not want us to act like this.

This week the "SCALE OF DOOM" did not like us so what...let's find something that will work and freak the "SCALE OF DOOM" out next week!! Please guys....let's do this.....I need it! I beg of you!!! I need slaps, taps, and mouth flap to keep me going!!! Remember I am a GRANNY!!!

Biggest Loser??

Yeah..it was me this week!! I was the biggest loser losing 11 1/4 lbs. Am I excited kind of!! I mean it was very hard...I was happy and I think everyone was happy for me but we were all torn to pieces because of who was in the bottom 2. Greg and Andy have really been the go getters on the team!! I love both of them dearly and did not want to make that decision. So I figured let it end in a tie!! That way it would not have to be us to make the decision. Don't get me wrong....if it would have been anyone else I would have had no problem. I would have known exactly who to vote for. So to Greg...LOVE U BOO even though you cheated on me with Andy LOL!! You still my pimp daddy!!! Andy I'm so glad you are still with us try not to kick my butt to much!!! LOL! Newho congrats to everyone that lost the weight and lets keep rocking!!!!!

PURE CRAP!!!

One thing I can say about the Gut Busters, we stick together...well until today!! Every morning we do our workout, get a pep talk from OCMC & GI Jane and then we as a team give heads up!! Things we have heard and get our game plan together. It has worked for us and that is why we are all still together!!! {we will talk of Kim in a few} When we are putting game plans together, that is for our TEAM ears only. So this is what happened..........................

Last night I was in bed almost asleep and my teenage child is cruising around town with 4 of her friends. They all come running in the house and said, "ARE YOU BLOGGING ARE YOU BLOGGING?" {teenagers are so dramatic} I told them I was and they all sighed with relief. I ask why they were so concerned and they said they had heard D-Lo on the night show say Karson was going to make us eat twinkies if we were not blogging. This morning while we were meeting up I said, "you guys make sure you are blogging there is rumor that Karson might make us eat twinkies if you are not. " It was not a rumor I was starting it was totally me trying to take care of the team! Giving a heads up!! That's all!!! Karson told us last week if we did not blog we would pay!! So here I am trying to be mother hen and take care of everyone and one of my own team members totally bust out our private team conversation on the radio. Then when she bust it out she named the wrong people!!! It was all me!!! Lindsay, Amanda, Andy or whomever was blamed had nothing to do with what I had told our team!! Why did she do this? There is only one reason 'cuz she is totally guilty of not blogging and she was scarred she was gonna be eating a whole lot of fat!!!! I'm am so sorry......but there is no excuse for not blogging it's the easiest thing in this whole competition to do!!! Heck even Karson offered his computers!! We all work, we are all busy and we have found time to do so!! If this sounds harsh, I'm sorry but this has really put a bad taste in my mouth. We all have worked together for so long why now???? To let everyone know....I called the radio station and explained what happened but it did not air.

So now to my home slice Spice Girl Kim!!!! You are the bomb!!!! Why would someone say you quit when we all know you did not quit!!!! You were pretty much forced out of this competition by doctors!! You were my rock!!! I watched you cry during workouts cuz you were trying to get thru everything with all of that pain. You worked your ass off and we all know it!! You were a threat to all of us because you did work so hard!! You were there for me pushing me harder and harder the whole time. I want to thank you!!!! The determination you had inspired me to reach limits that I never thought my body would be able to handle!!! I'm gonna miss you saying, "GIT IT GIRL!" IT'S THE EX-WIVES CLUB and BABY WE TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN!! (everyone can take that however they want) It's not going to be the same w/o you!!! Now with all of that said I want to Thank Riley and Q107.5 for letting Spice Girl tell her story and second I want whoever told that Kim just quit to think about this...................$5000.00 comes and goes really quick, but having a friend lasts forever and that is exactly what Kim was!!!!

Bra Sizes!!

Ha....what I am hearing from everyone is I have to wear a belt and my pants are baggy. Well I'm here to tell ya I HAVE DROPPED A WHOLE BRA SIZE!! LOL...believe me it kind of worries me that I am losing the twins {one of my great assets} but then again, not really!! I can now button shirts that could not be buttoned. I use to have back pain from these gigantic babies...now not so much. I would much rather get rid of my stomach first but being able to tell fat is leaving some part of my body thrills me. GUT BUSTERS W/KENNEDY ROCK!!!

So Sunday we had the day off to relax muscles and get prepared for the week ahead!! Well guess what...I missed it!! Who me?? The lazy girl that sits in front of the TV. Yeah me...I really really missed it. So I thru on some Billy Blanks and kick boxed for a hour. I have found out that this early morning workout is giving me energy I have never had. Now, on my day off, instead of sitting and watching tv I am doing things. Up and moving around. My house is cleaner than it has ever been. I think I am beginning to love this. I couldn't wait to jump up out of bed and get to the workout this morning. I find myself challenging myself even more to see if I can get a harder workout. Everything was great this morn until I got that ticket. LOL!! Just to let you know...Memphis police don't care if you are part of Memphis Biggest Loser...they just want you to drive safe! Ha...me drive safe...that's another task I need to accomplish.

Fun workout with the snow. So today I had to work. So I decided to create a workout. Walk really fast bend over pick up snow and throw! Work was really slow today so I got to do this for about 2 hours. WOW...I didn't know playing like that would make me sweat. Newho.....off to the gym for the intense workout!!!!

'cuz it's snowing!!

All you Gut Busters go home and do some cardio!! Just cuz you got a little snow don't mean you get to go home and rest!!! Whip it up.....tickle tickle.....dance like me...ha! OCMC says do stairs ...that's cool but if you don't have any find something....we can't let that other team get ahead of us!!!! All you guys rock!!!!!!!!!!

Little Scarred.....

First let me start off by giving GOOD HANDS GREG a round of applause!!! HE IS THE ONLY MALE LEFT IN THE COMPETITION. {...and I didn't say this but around the gym...I think he is using his hands for more than just massaging if you guys catch my drift} He is such a pimp daddy! Newho....congrats and lets go on!

Ok...so I have a couple of pulled muscles and have not been able to work as hard as I have been. I'm working...I'm working hard...just not as hard. This has scarred me for the simple fact I don't feel lighter like I did last week at this time. So whatever it takes...that was our pep talk this morn from OCMC & GI Jane.

I really just have to give a shout out to GI JANE KELLY! She is the bomb and really understands a woman's stress. She lets you vent to her and then when you look down at time on treadmill or bike you have went 3 miles. Thanks Kelly!

OCMC stretched me really good today and popped some bones in my back. HA HA he pushed so hard, my gum shot out of my mouth and across the gym. Amazingly my back feels really good. Not hurting.....should we change his name to Magic Fingers? Nope don't think so! OCMC fits perfect. So now I am ready for tonights workout! So ready...I'm running a little behind and have a lot of catching up to do.

Roll Call........

Akelees Tendon........Here {check}
Hamstring.................Here {check}
Pulled Back Muscle..Here {check}
Abdomen Muscle.....Here {check}
Pulled Ligament.......Here {check}

Now all we need is a strained neck and shoulder pulled out of place and we will be complete!!


GO GUTBUSTERS!!!!!

Whoot! Whoot!

Weigh ins this morn>>>>>> I rocked it!! 5 1/2 pounds. That is alot for me!! I stuck to diet, I worked out with a bad back and I totally surprised myself. I'm gonna keep on keeping on!!! I bought 8 bags of ice and sit in it for 45 minutes just so I could work extra hard this morning and sweat out the fat!!!!! WHO YA GONNA CALL......GUT BUSTERS!!! We really put the smack down on it this morning!!!!!!!!!

Did You feel the Memphis Earthquake??

Ha....so Saturday with already a muscle sore back, we are working out on the Boat Ramp and GI Jane Kelly gives us a breather. "It will be nice," she says "lets walk down the boat dock." Breathe in Breathe out. I'm concentrating on my breathing so much that I totally was not paying attention to my feet. Ha..Both feet come out from under me and I fall flat on my booty!!! That's when all of Memphis shook! Did you feel it? Newho...it hurt so bad. I feel like my spine was SHOVED all the way up and popped out the top of my head.

So the point of me telling this story is one simple fact. IT'S CALLED SELF MOTIVATION! I got up and still did my thing. I might have not been able to do it as well as everyone else, I was in a lot of pain, but I kept going. GI JANE Kelly was not going to let me give up and she was not going to let me hurt myself. She told me to "WORK OUT SMART"

What I have to say to everyone...in this competition their are no excuses. So what if the trainer doesn't show....get your butt on a treadmill and take off like you're running to China! Your not enjoying your workout...do it and then go do one you enjoy. If being skinny is what you really really want just do it! You put your weight on You have to take it off!! Quit making excuses! The trainers are there for you. They can give you all the tricks but you have to do the magic! My back still hurts (working it out little by little) but I'm there. My trainers who are the best make sure if I can't do something then they find something for me to do that will work me just as hard if not harder. Nothing is going to stop me....I've puked, cramped and cried my eyes out but I'm there!!!

PS>>>HATS OFF TO ALL THE GUT BUSTERS! THESE GUYS ROCK...WE ALL AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER HAVE HURT IN SOME KIND OF WAY AND WE ALL JUST MOTIVATE EACH OTHER AND KEEP IT GOING. LOVE YOU GUYS!!

Q-Munnity Rocks!!

With everything going on....I totally forgot the Biggest Losers are posted all over the web. I mean I realize pics are on there but I totally forgot everyone in the tri-state area was keeping tabs. LOL! Newho..so today I decide to go into Lenny's and get a salad. I get in there and the boy behind the counter starts whispering to other employees. So finally the manager comes right out and ask....are you KMAK, from the biggest loser? I was floored. So we talked a few minutes about diet and exercise and then he gave my salad to me for free!!! I just want to give a shout out to the Q-munnity! You guys rock and thanks for backing all of us up!!!!!

My favorite Candy.."IBUPROFEN"

This morn I woke up late.. the sore muscles are getting better, but as we work out harder there are new muscles laughing at me. I'm eating Ibuprofen just like candy. I'm loading the car with my change of clothes and my daily food and BAM I accidently shut the door and lock my keys inside with car running. Nothing is going my way!! I just broke down and cried like a big old baby and wondered what the heck am I doing to myself?? I'm tired, worn out, somewhat hungry, and just plain aggravated. My little girl woke up to the sound of my tears and come in there and gave me the best pep talk. It's 3:30 in the morn she has to get up for school and she is in there taking care of me!! It was the best feeling! So I sucked it up...she had the extra key to my car. I jumped in and took off! The funny thing is when I arrived at the gym the work out really helped me. I was pumped!! It's all coming together now. Getting use to the new schedule and the new foods! It's just like O Captain My Captain & GI Jane Kelly reminds us of everyday. IT'S A LIFE CHANGE! To hit the goals I want in my life....that is exactly what I have to do. CHANGE MY LIFE!

Granny Got her Groove Back!!

I was so proud of myself this morn!! Yes I did Yes I did.....GRANNY GOT HER GROOVE BACK!! Our 5:00 am workout was the bomb. GI JANE KELLY BOOT CAMP....Stations everyone! The muscle aches have calmed down (still hurting a little) and I rocked it!! I'm wondering how sore I will be after today, but it don't matter 'cuz I'm ready for anything dished out!! Boxing...Jumping Rope....step ups.....lunges....You name it we did it. Nothing easy, but made a person feel good when they accomplished each task. So when you see me walking down the street ask me to get my GROOVE on....I might just surprise you!!

The Bottom 2...Not a Good Feeling!

First I want to thank all of the GUT BUSTERS for voting to keep me in even though it was a fake vote. Thank God for Karson's rule 5A. Everyone was so supportive of me and keeping me in. Even O Captain my Captain spoke well on my behalf. GI Jane Kelly was there in the beginning telling us to breathe. All of this really made me feel good. When it comes right down to it "my team" the GUT BUSTERS just rock!! So with that said.....I am not going to let my team down!! Yes I should be very proud of losing 3lbs in 3 days but that is not good enough!! I have decided...this was NOT a good feeling...no more exuses.....so now IT"S ON!! It is SO ON!! I am going to do whatever it takes...more vegies...more workouts...more sleep...WHATEVER it takes! I do know as the weeks go by it is going to get harder and harder and there is always going to be someone in the bottom two and voted off but I am going to try so hard for that person not to be me! So look out Granny is gonna rock this!!! GET IT GOT IT GOOD!!

PS...To the Food Fighters....Don't Hate Appreciate! PEACE OUT !!

I absolutley love my team!! I think everyone is the best! We all support and push each other harder to be the best, but to really do this right you have to have an outside support system that is flawless. These are the people who take the food away from you. They let you call them at 4:00 am to complain about the muscle aches. They call you all day long to check on you and your menu. They help you go to the grocery and read all the labels!! Spring, Kelsi, Kelbi, Trameka ~ You guys are the best, and even though I am really cranky at times....I know you guys will always be behind me!!!!!

Leafy Greens!!

Tomorrow is the day....our first weigh in!!! I am totally staying with leafy green vegetables and water!!! Todays lunch was a leafy green salad with balsamic vinegar. That vinegar burned going all the way down...HA! I felt it burning the fat! It did burn...but nothing like those cardio workouts we get from O CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN & GI JANE! (by the way..that is Kelly's new nick name)

Beating the Toilet this Morning...LOL..I LOST!!

OK...so one of my dreams of being skinny is sitting on the toilet and not having all the blubber fall over the sides of the toilet seat. Well this morning...my dream was just getting on the toilet seat. We are told to drink 60% of our weight in water. So I am floating a boat drinking 144 oz every day. So we have been working out we are sore as you know what...and my Jesus....the clock goes off and I have to roll out of the bed (no jumping out for me) I have to pee so bad!! I literally crawl to the toilet. I just know I am going to pee all over myself. I finally get there and guess what...I can't bend. The muscles in my legs alone are laughing at me. I tried so hard...took me a while but finally got down low enough just to get that morning pee relief. So I figure....by the time I stand up it will be time to just pee again. So I sit there!! LOL!! I did not want to go through that harsh pain again. I eventually did get up I had to go work out....but just to let you know...WORKING OUT...is the only thing that got me off that toilet.

UMMMMM.....LUNCH!!!

So I have now recooped from the morning workout. I have now drank 120 oz of water and its time to eat lunch. Yeah!!! Lunch is your most important meal. According to LT Kelly and Oh Captain My Captain!!! LOL!! Newho...on todays menu.........

2 grilled chicken strips

1 cup green beans

slices of celery and mixed red & yellow peppers to garnish.

I did put mustard on my chicken for a little more flavor.

Believe it or not....I am really full. Between water and the 5 to 6 small meals we are eating daily. UMMMM Gotta Love It!!!!!!

"GUTLESS"is what I wanna be!!

It's 2:30 am...the clock went off its time to pack food, & clothes and kiss the kids goodbye.
3:30 I leave my home only to arrive at gym at 4:45. It's time to get down and dirty!! Brian & Kelly have beaten me to the gym??? OMG what time do these healthy people wake up? I don't think they sleep. LOL!!! Newho....time to work out.....push push push....great job!!! ....and then the hard stuff. What the hell??? Oh well....let's show them what I'm made of...LOL...not much...I'm doing good....I'm doing good...and then them damn backward situps working my triceps. All I felt was P~A~I~N!! Well I worked through it and come to work feeling like a wet noodle.

Shout out to my team members!!!!! You guys rocked this morning way to keep it going!! HOLLA!

U Ask Y....

You ask why I am putting myself through the pleasure and the pain of Memphis Biggest Loser?? It's easy....I'm a granny well...a MIMI but that didn't rhyme with Crazy. LOL...Newho I am 39 years old and have my beautiful first grand child Brenlee Shai. She is 2 months old and I want to be around long enough to see her start first grade, graduate, and get married.

There is another reason....I am single and have been for quite a while. May 1 will be 9 years and I have not even went on a date. Well at first it was cool because I buried myself into the lives of my children, but now they are older and doing their own thing. Simply...I believe I am now ready to date take it slow and maybe even find a soul mate to share my life with. I don't want to grow old by myself.

Last.....I just want to be healthy. I'm not and I know that. Doing Memphis Biggest Loser will reteach me how to eat and show me how to exercise. I do believe we all want to win the big cash prize and the awesome trip, but for me....if I don't win....I would have won in so many other ways.
