From the Beals week #1

Well at the Beal home we WERE actually doing really well until friday hit! We didn't so so well AT ALL this weekend. I ended up with only 38 points and Jesse with 31. But I tell you what!!! After seeing what the totals are from other competitors... I WILL SURELY BE GETTING MY BUTT IN GEAR!!!! I thought I was doing... somewhat okay .. even missing the most of the weekend points... OH NO! I guess I better go get on the treadmill! The only thing that worked for us is JUST DO IT!!! It really isn't that hard. I decided rather than sit down to watch oprah... watch it on the treadmill.... who would have ever guessed!!! Just kidding. It was hard at first to get all that water in.. I felt like I was 9 month pregnant again.. running to the bathroom every second. I havn't had to get up in the night to go to the bathroom since I was pregnant. But I just try to just have a little ALL day long and that has helped. This week my goal is TO NOT LET ANYONE ELSE WIN!!! And maybe that will help me to catch up! I am so impressed that everyone is working so hard. So fun! I think it just makes you want to work that much harder to see everyone else's progress and hearing what they are doing.

As far things that helped us.. with veggies and fruit.. We bought a bunch of V8 (cans) that are 2 servings of f&v each. I have to drink it with a straw.. pointed cleeeeaaar back at the back of my throat... hold my nose.. and just guzzel!!! HA HA!! But that works great! The other thing I love is to make that smoothy/shake that I have posted at the bottom of the blog. It sounds yuck but really its yum! That really helps us get our fruits and veggies in. So now.. I guess we will just go for it hard!
May the BEST LOSER WIN!!!
