It’s an all nighter!!!
We did our final weigh in at the dojo for our “Biggest Loser” contest last night. I had a 17 lb loss for the four weeks, and won it for the ladies. Sensei Ric had a 16 lb loss and won it for the men. He’s crazy because he couldn’t be more fit but he knows how to manipulate his body so well that the loss was nothing to him, it’s actually been incorporated into his workout plan. That weight he lost is now going to be put back on as he bulks himself out again. This guy is seriously fit, used to be a body builder and personal trainer. Anyway, the two of us were way ahead of everyone else as far as pounds lost. Of course for me, it was a no brainer because at my size, if you get truly determined and stick to the plan no matter what, it’ll come off like that.
We had our meeting yesterday with our Educational Facilitator and got our new textbooks and assignments for the first semester (I home school my two oldest, they’re in 11th and 12th grades). The first day of school is Monday!
These two facts combined with the fact that there are no classes at the dojo tomorrow are enabling us to do an all nighter tonight! Me and all the kids like to do this from time to time. We eat junk food and play video games all through the night. Our all nighters are legendary around here hehe. It makes for good bonding time, and we just love it. Each of the kids is inviting one friend over, too. It’ll be great times…but pray for me that I don’t over eat on the junk food so that I can still have a good weigh in on Sunday!!!
Have a FABULOUS Friday all!!!
Congratulations on your huge loss! You definitely know how to set your mind on the final goal. “Having an “all-nighter”, sounds like a fun way to share some time with your kids as well as get to know their friends…Have a great night tonight…and with your track record, I don’t doubt for a second that you will overdo at all…Enjoy!
Oh, that sounds like so much fun! And congrats on 17 pounds lost in four weeks - that’s awesome!
Way to go. How did you lose it so fast. Share the secret share the secret. Amazing job
That is fantastic. Way to go!!!! I am so proud of you!!! I know you worked very hard. What a great payoff.
Wow - you won! That is totally cool - congrats girl! I am sooooooo happy for you, I’m dancing around over here. Keep up the amazing work, you’re an example for us all.
Happy weekend to you, my friend!
Great job!!!!!! I wish I could pull an all nighter with my son! I just found out I am going to be working at a Guitar Hero event next month.
wow…that is amazing! you go girl.
That sounds like a great idea. I will have to ask my girls to pull an all nighter with me tomorrow night after weigh ins. Scary movie night sounds good..wooooooooooo
Have a great weekend! Thanks for being such a great inspiration.
hehe thanks…but there really is no secret aside of calories in vs. calories out. Less in and more out is all. :o)
Oh Chrisie! How fun that would be to work at a Guitar Hero event; we love that game!
great job and have fun tonight!
Have a great night Catrina. You are doing so well and it is easier when you are at this point but the key is staying relatively focused and you are such a strong woman. Bravo to you. Again, have fun
Oh, I do believe I did not have to tell ya this. 
Great Job!
Congrats on your sweep!! You must feel so proud. I am not surprised at all, I’ve always known you to be determined!! Hey, I L-O-V-E that all-nighter idea, once my little guy makes some friends here in BC, I may just host an all-nighter!! Hmmm…you’ve given me much food for thought…next Summer some of my friends are sending their kids for two weeks, there are TONS of activities here for the little people and my child, who is an only child, will LOVE having his friends around! Anyhow, I am rambling, you got me so excited about your win AND also about your all-nighter, it sounds like so much fun. And don’t worry about eating too much, for Heaven’s sakes, it’s an all-nighter, you said so yourself, you have them once in a blue moon, so ENJOY!!
