Turkey Burgers and Trainers!

Today I learned that I like turkey burgers!!!
This is huge. I can't believe I waited this long to try them! I think I was associating them with "veggie" burgers so I was too scared to even go there. But since I have been hooked on The Biggest Loser, and thats a staple of their diet, I decided its time to branch out and try it. And boy am I glad I did!! Now Tommy and I just have to find veggies that we enjoy enough to cook so we aren't eating the unhealthy sides anymore. Because right now we still toss a pan of fries in the oven FAR too often.

The other thing I wanted to blog about tonight is how excited I am that tommy is taking the next steps in his own weight loss journey.  Yesterday before we went to the gym together he made his weight loss goal spreadsheet like mine. We basically have the same weekly goals which makes our eating habits and workout goals much easier to work with :)

Again, I am hooked on The Biggest Loser and I desperately want a trainer. But obviously I can't afford a trainer so I am stuck motivating myself and trying to figure it out on my own. So one thing we are going to try is training eachother. Once a week we want to go to the gym together, (well, we'll probably always go together) and we are going to train the other person for parts of the workout. So instead of us both on the elliptical, only one of us will be on it while the other keeps us motivated. (and possibly distracted) and then we'll switch. I think it will keep us each motivated (and to be all mushy, it will bring us closer as a couple)

As for my goals, at this point I should be 10 pounds closer to my ultimate goal but I kind of fell off the wagon for a couple weeks. Good news is I DIDN'T GAIN IT ALL BACK! I didn't even stay the same. I LOST ONE POUND! And while thats still not good, its not a gain and I was scared shitless to step on that scale thinking all my hard work was wasted on a couple weeks of bad habits. But it wasn't, Thank God!!

So, I am very excited to head to the gym tomorrow and try out our new plan.
Ready, once again, to get this extra weight off my body.
