Biggest Loser Drama

I am getting really fed up with The Biggest Loser drama. Have you watched this season? The red team (Dolvett's) is having such issues. There is swearing and name-calling, some of the contestants act like they're middle-schoolers. We have loved watching Biggest Loser for the past couple of years, but I'm debating not recording the rest of this season. Each week I keep hoping it will get better but it hasn't and it's sad because it's always been such a motivational and fun show.

Have you seen the show lately? What do you think?

The Biggest Loser Finale

Made my boys watch The Biggest Loser finale last night instead of reading bedtime stories. Rotten parenting, but I had to know who won before I read it on Facebook or something! It was amazing to see those transformations. Really helps me want to keep going strong and forget the must have ice cream excuses.
Did you watch it? Do you love the show?

No TV and No Treats

We made it through our Multi-Media Fast for a Week. I have to be honest - I struggled the most. By Wednesday I was fighting some serious depression, worried about what e-mails I was missing. Sure every one of my blogger friends was going to drop me because of neglect. But I made it through and it was very good for our family. I cooked a lot more, spent a lot more time with my adorable boys, and read a couple of fabulous novels (I'll post the reviews later this week, Kathi Macias and Rachel Ann Nunes latest).

It was a great break, I would highly recommend trying it for a week (but make sure it's good weather).

You all remember that I pledged to not buy treats during the month of April and instead donate the money to charity? That isn't going quite as well as our No-TV pledge. It was my Stockton boy's b-day so I bought ice cream. The problem was I bought ice cream on Wednesday, by Friday it was gone, so Saturday I had to buy two more gallons for Sunday's b-day party. Sheila said I could just pay double, my contribution to charity is going to be huge!

No TV for a week?

Next week is No-TV Week for my sons' schools. We decided we're giving up all multi-media. I'm turning off my computer for an entire week. Oh, my. Hope I survive.

I've got a whole list of the fun things we're going to do as a family. Check it out here.

Getting children active is such a huge issue with today's childhood obesity and other health scares related to a sedentary lifestyle. We love and protect our children from so many things, I hope we can protect them from health issues by increasing their activity and offering healthy foods.

I'll let you know how it goes next week!
