where in the world is carmen san diego?

yes, people, i am still alive!
i figured it was time to update when my mom's co-worker was asking . . .
(and yes, it was even a dude!)

so, here's the 411 . . .
we are all big losers -- the scale battery died, we never replaced it and we all took our money back and probably bought something really fatty, sugary and delicious.

mrs. crabby pants -- still crabby!  i think i might stop blogging about her . . .
i mean really, i don't think there is any hope for that one!

the blind girl next door -- she finally got glasses!  but that certainly doesn't mean she wears them . . .

my resolution to read -- i still haven't finished Book #1!

stay tuned, friends, i haven't forgotten about you!
more to come . . . !




p.s.  who remembers this show?!

i used to love it!

biggest loser {week 4 + 5 + 6}

the fun part about this healthy little competition  . . .
there has been a different winner each week!

week 4:  our sweet as pie manager won
week 5:  our jack-of-all trades receptionist won
week 6:  the battery in the scale = DEAD

is this a sign?
have we beat it up that much?

we decided to take the week off for two reasons:
1.  it doesn't just take a good ol' AA {how annoying}
2. we have all hit a plateau {a pound here, a pound there}

we will be back at it next week ...
after all - there are only 4 weeks left!

biggest loser {week 3}

the winner this week is yet another someone different!
isn't it nice that we are taking turns?!
HA!

she is the sweetest
+
she is the blondest

she almost dropped out of our little contest . . .
until
she dropped four pounds in one week!

she is a tea drinker . . .
so maybe that's her biggest loser secret?!

{my favorite new mug from fishs eddy}

biggest loser {week 2}

and the winner this week . . .
ME!

this has been a part of my inspiration:

{especially after 8pm}

i am down 2 pounds!

yay!

biggest loser {week 1}

so there we were in the break room --
stripping down . . . !

we all weighed in
+
the winner was . . .
the blind girl next door!

she lost 2 lbs in 1 week!

go lou!

biggest loser

what:     the biggest loser

when:    now until march 23

who:      4 brunettes, 1 blonde

why:      because we all want to lose weight {duh!}

where:  the salon

how:  weigh in days are on fridays on the same scale
           i am the keeper of the biggest loser spreadsheet
           {i LOVE spreadsheets + numbers = weird, huh?}
           winner each week will be by number of pounds lost
           winner at the end will be by percentage of pounds lost
           {and the pot of cash}

we LOVE eating
ok, well i do!
we don't schedule a "lunch hour"
so we either:
a.) shove our faces with whatever is in the backroom in between clients
     <trying very carefully not to eat the pregnant girl's food>
b.) order take-out
c.) don't eat all day which results in a headache at the end of the night . . .
and a complete willingness to go out to eat and scarf down without abandon

well things are about to change . . . !

may the biggest loser be the biggest winner!
game on, girls!

and to our readers:
don't be a loser! 
be a "Like"-er!
