Hey Everyone!! I was really excited to see how many people actually showed up on Sunday to sign up for the biggest loser. We had around 30 people. which is great! I know of about 5 more signing up Sunday. I have a feeling more and more people will sign up which will hopefully motivate us all to step it up. From what I hear, people are hitting the gym at 5 am! So if you haven't started a workout plan you better soon. What I was really happy to see that even people who only had 10 lbs to lose showed up. They were right in saying its not just about losing weight, its about being healthy. So lets keep that in mind.
I want to know how everyone is doing! respond to this blog and let us know how your first week is going.
This weeks calendar:
Thursday morning walk around old orcutt 8am (meet at my house 250 s Broadway st)
Saturday morning hike (by morning I mean 9 or 10am) place tbd. please give suggestions on locations.
These are just the activities I'm putting together. if you want to do a bike ride, hike, walk....you get the point. Just post it under the comments and I will be sure to put it up on the weekly calender.
some of you wanted healthy recipes to put on the blog. feel free to add a recipes in the comments section and I will put them up. As for right now, here are some simple things you can do to make meals healthier. I'm sure they are obvious but reminders are always helpful :)
EAT THIS INSTEAD OF THAT
1. Ground Turkey instead of ground beef (taco's, spaghetti, turkey burgers..whatever you use hamburger for)
2. Whole wheat pasta instead of white
3. Brown rice instead of white rice
4. Turkey bacon and sausage instead of regular bacon (i just bought some. its really good!)
5. Olive Oil for cooking instead of vegetable oil or butter
The list goes on...
I will be giving you each a hand out on Sunday with rules and information about the competition as a reminder. I should have done that at the first weigh in sorry! Anyway, here are some things you should know.
1. winnings will go towards the guy and girl who lose the most % body weight at the end of 12 weeks. we have decided to split it between the two 80% to whoever loses the most and 20% to second place.
2. weigh in times are at 9:15-9:30 am (after 1st service) 10:30-10:00am (after second service) and again from 5:30pm-6:00pm (right before evening service) These will take place in the gym.
3. If you cant make a weigh in you can weigh yourself at home and email it to jimmy and Jackie at jimmy@drytechrestoration or jackiemck6@yahoo.com
4. Its not to late to sign up! just bring $10 on Sunday and weigh in. Its going to be a lot of fun!
Any questions?

The first week for me was more dificult than I thought it would be. I worked out 6 times and ate healthy. I did have a brownie though. Oh well, it was worth it. My scale says I've lost 3 lbs but I'm excited to go weigh in officially!
