BL2: Week 1 Weigh In

FYI, BL2 stands for Biggest Loser 2, in case you see me use that abbreviation again:)

I don't really have too much to write about. This week has been pretty uneventful. Tuesday and Wednesday we babysat Madison which was fun:) She's so cute and such a good baby!! Charlie got to feed her, burp her and change her diaper! And I helped Katie wash her hair:)

Wednesday night I went to the firehouse because Charlie did a trade for someone for the second half of the shift, so I was bored. I brought my workout clothes so that I could exercise in the boathouse. They have an elliptical in there and other various weight machines. The elliptical is awesome though! It burns so many calories. Now I want one! My sister Roch and I worked out for probably 1 and a half hours or so. It was fun:)

I worked Thursday and Friday night. Thursday sucked because I got floated to Medical Care to sit for a patient. Soooo boring!! I was so glad to be in the NICU on Friday!! It was kind of busy but I was glad it went by fast!:) Plus I had Caitlin there to hang out with and talk about how much sugar is in fruit and what kind of exercises are best, etc. Love it!:)

I'm so happy because Saturday night I got Charlie to download my favorite app in the whole wide world, MyFitnessPal!!:) Yay!! I'm so happy that he's gonna try to use it. I hope he keeps up with it. So far I think he likes it:)

We started talking about certain foods and how it sucks that peanut butter is so high in calories so I suggested we go to Trader Joe's and see what kind of peanut butter they have, as well as other foods.

I've only been to a Trader Joe's a few times and it was a long time ago when I definitely didn't care about eating healthy so I was excited to go!

We got there and it was really cool to shop around. I wanted to get everything! lol:) We ended up getting...

Canned salmon, lettuce, cucumbers, plums, liquid eggs, regular eggs, fat free milk, turkey meatballs, plantain chips, dried orange flavored cranberries (I didn't want orange flavored, oops lol), dried mango's, dried assorted fruit and bones for Chief!:) When we got home we made hard boiled eggs, they were delicious!! We used our egg timer that we got from Williams Sonoma. It works AWESOME!

I would suggest everyone get one because our eggs came out perfect! Basically you wait till the rim of the egg turns black at the line of the way you want it cooked. Soft, medium or hard. If that makes sense... lol It's simple. The eggs were perfect on the inside and super easy to peel! Love it!:)

I think I will definitely go back to Trader Joe's again. At least for certain things, but not everything. It's definitely not cheap. Our total was like $45. Not too bad:)

Oh, so yeah, the whole reason I wrote this blog... my weigh in! Here we go...
