Tough Week!
I dont know about eveyone else...but this past week was a tough one for me!! (I'm going to place a little blame on my missing pinky nail..haha) ..I'm a little bummed at my weigh in for the week (which you will see my results soon..)..but I guess you cant always get a 6+ pound weight loss every week. *sigh*...Oh well..Its Monday, a new week and hopefully I can lose a little more this week then I did last week.

Crap! Only 97 more days left!!
So I got on the scale this morning and I was up a pound! And the only thing off-program that I've eaten is some "unbuttered" popcorn at the movie. I think that my body is saying, "Wait! What are you trying to do? You're in Utah and winter is on the way!" But so is Christmas!

IDEAS FOR SUCCESS
First and foremost: GROCERY SHOPPING AND COOKING!
That's something I haven't done much of for a long time. But behavior modification is what it's all about, I guess! So I went shopping last Monday (after Paul put in his orders and I had my list) and we went out to dinner only once, because we cooked all week! And as you'll see, when Kevin posts last week's results, it was a success.
Paul & I are doing Weight Watcher's Core Plan. That way Paul doesn't have to count points. Here are a couple of things that really helped us:

Paul & I are doing Weight Watcher's Core Plan. That way Paul doesn't have to count points. Here are a couple of things that really helped us:
- I fixed a big salad, so it would last for 3 days, and I hate making salads.
- Paul fixed a big pot of vegetable soup with 4% ground beef in it, which was so tasty and has lasted all week. He's making another pot this week.
- I hard boiled some eggs and peeled them and stored them in a baggie so they would be easy to grab with a piece of fruit when we were on the run (or to take as a "sack lunch" while we sat at the open houses).
- Fruit punch Crystal Lite individual packs helped me bunches to drink the water, but Paul, like Kevin, prefers the flavored Propel.
- I have a yummy (as Lauren would say) treat fashioned after an appetizer my Granny used to fix. But I will post that when I get a picture.
Let's hear from the rest of you boneheads!!! This is a NELSON FAMILY BLOG! The participants are supposed to participate! How else can we know how to help or get help? Good job, ya'll!
Ok - so Big E took us out to one of the finest resturants in Vegas - and the Chief treated us like Roalty, and sent all kinds of food to the table.... so I didn't lose what I could have.... but.... I did go swimming twice, kick boxing twice - long walks and sit ups... so watch out for next week! ha Nola

Count Your Blessings
Just be grateful that you aren't up here in Rexburg. Today, my friend Jason greeted me and one of my other roommates with this loverly beast, the title:
Yeah. I had to have a bite. Don't worry, it wasn't enough to do anything. I had some hard core dance classes today. ;) Anyway, it was tasty and now my whole first floor smells of scrumtrulescent chocolate!! How long will this last? Who knows! But at least I have my Weight Watchers Chocolate Cake with Icing (one point.) Very delicious if you ask me!
And you might be wondering what brought upon this cake?! I'll clear that up. Last semester Jason brought us a cake, so we returned the pan with a cake, and this went on. We were the last to finish the semester off, and this is what we came up with; namely:
Yeah. So there you have it.
The Turd

Yeah. So there you have it.
Where did you think Turd cakes came from?!

Set Your DVR's
I know we aren't couch potatoes anymore, but this is one show to watch! Kev and I are big fans of The Biggest Loser on NBC, and we think you all need to take the time to watch this season. It seems very appropriate considering that the theme this year is Families! Perfect timing, eh! The show premieres this coming Tuesday at 8:00. Check your local listings to be sure.
The show is so inspirational and motivating. I cry several times a season. I am pretty sure Kevin does too. Shhh! I encourage you all to watch it through your journeys of weight loss.
Watch this link for a flavor of what the show is about, but MAKE SURE TO PAUSE THE MUSIC ON THE SIDE FIRST!!! The preview starts after a short commercial. Enjoy!

On Your Mark, Get Set...GO!
I hope you all have on your running shoes, because the race has begun! We've got a serious competition going, and we are hoping everyone looks at it this way. This is a real opportunity to lose weight and at the same time be accountable to everyone for it. We are hoping you find needed support and motivation from this blog.
As we were contemplating the idea of this contest, we realized that if the goal was just to lose 25 pounds by Christmas that there would be several who dropped out due to lack of motivation or enthusiasm. Now there is something on the line to keep our attention focused! It's the dolla dolla billz ya'll! We figured that because there was something to lose, other than the
weight, it will make it much more exciting. We are hoping you lose your booty to win a "booty"!So, what are you going to do with the money? New skinny wardrobe, lippo, or a trip to the beach to show of your new bod? Let us know! Let's have fun with this. Post your goals, frustrations, successes, recipes, or anything at all!
Good luck!
Rules and Regulations
Welcome, welcome! We are so excited to invite you to our new weight loss blog! We thought it would be a great idea to post the rules and regulations of this competition so everyone can be on the same page.
The ultimate goal is to see who loses the biggest percentage of body weight by December 25, 2008. We are hoping for a minimum of 25 pounds from everyone participating. Whom ever has lost the greatest percentage of body weight by the given date wins the "Booty."
Official weigh in begins Monday, September 8, 2008. Everyone participating must send a check of $250 to Paul Nelson ASAP. He will be responsible for keeping the winnings safe. We would tell Susan to do it, but we all know she will put in that "very special place that she won't forget"...and forget where she put it! ;)
If weight loss supplements are used, you must post what you are using on the blog so everyone has the decision to use it or not. This is the only way to make it fair. Hopefully, this is not your only means of weight loss. We are hoping for life style changes people!
There is a weekly weigh in on *Mondays. You must weigh yourself and then email them to Kevin so he can calculate your total percentages. He is the ONLY ONE that will know your actual weight. Only your percentage and pounds lost will be posted. You may choose for yourself if you weigh yourself on a daily basis or not.
There will be no weekly weigh ins or totals posted or emailed the month of December so as to keep the winner for the final weigh in a surprise.
On the final weigh in, you may bring your own scale if you desire. We don't want anyone going postal on us trying to justify what their scale said the day before! Kevin will then tally the final percentages, place the winner in a sealed envelope, and give said envelope to Kjersten for the competiton ceremony.
If there are any concerns or questions, please feel free to post them on the blog or to email Kevin. Good luck! I know you are all a bunch of big losers, uh, you know what I mean!!!
