Scavenger Hunt Winners

The good thing about only a few people entering the scavenger hunt contest is that everybody wins!


Congrats to Mannequin at Fractured Toy who wins a $25 Barnes & Noble gift card and to Catie at Tater Tots N Fries who wins my favorite movie of all time, Tommy Boy! Head on over to see what they came up with! Congrats! (I'll be e-mailing you both soon!)

Thursday

Fat Ticker Friday slash Scavenger Hunt!


I am so utterly happy to be doing this slimdown you just have no idea. I haven't fit into this size in two years. My underwear is loose! I might need new underwear! Thank you for motivating me, wonderful blogging friends. I heart you bigtime. This week's weightloss for me: 1.5 pounds. Yay! How about you? How did you do? Roadblocks? Breakthroughs?

So here are my pictures for the scavenger hunt (open to everyone) and if you haven't yet done it -- there is still time and it's really easy. Here are the rules. Remember: random winner will receive $25 giftcard to Barnes and Noble -- and most creative gets a copy of Tommy Boy, my favorite movie. Sign the linky!



So here are my pictures:
1) Something healthy in my house. This is a sampling of what's in my fridge. Some cottage cheese, some apples, some broccoli and some salad. I'd better get munchin cause they are about to expire.




2) Maybe they're expiring because I've been munching on these! I was craving chocolate Wednesday night so I did cave and buy these. However, I have only had four (4) of them and a serving is actually 5. They are dark chocolate, you know, anti-oxidants. Does that count? And they're little. Portion control?

3) Favorite workout gear ever is my khaki bag and my I-Pod with the headphones that wrap around your ears and go around the back of your neck. They stay on so much better that way.
4) A part of me exercising.

Psych!!!! That's just my arm bent at the elbow. Yes, it looks like a butt. I'm immature. I couldn't resist. How about a foot instead?




5) And this is my family exercising with me. The boys.




And me! Get me! Over here! I had to take a picture in the first one. I was going to photoshop myself in, but I'm not that creative. This was after my first 25-minute-straight run on my Couch to 5k program. From here on out, all my runs will be 25 or 30 minutes straight. We're on the downward spiral. We're almost there!I thought it would be harder but I've done it twice now and it's a little tough but completely doable. I just have to think happy thoughts and not pay attention to the clock AT ALL. Here's the link again to play the scavenger hunt!




Monday

Motivation Monday -- Vow Renewal, a Grand Re-Opening, and a Scavenger Hunt + prizes! (Open to all!)

Wow. Did you know we're about at the halfway mark here until final weigh-in at the Summer Slimdown Extravagannnnzaaaaah?

shudder.

How far have you gotten toward your goal? Me -- well, you know I was a little upset about my ticker headed in the other direction on Friday, and after a new pink Coach purse nice weekend breather -- (Serenity now!) I am renewing my vows here to get fitter and unfatter.

Also, guess what, May is Fitness Month! So this week, instead of a prize on Friday at the weigh-in -- we're gonna have a little fun with a scavenger hunt -- and this one's open to anyone who wants to do it, bloggers and non-bloggers alike. It's fun for the whole family!

Here are the rules:

  • Take pictures of the following 5 items/scenarios.

1. The healthiest food item in your house (you can like it or hate it)
2. The mostest unhealthiest food item in your house (yum! I can think of a few I wish were in my house. Wah wahhh.)
3. Your favorite workout must-have item (clothes, equipment, partner, music device, whatever!)
4. A picture of a part of you exercising (a limb, a finger, a face -- keep it clean!)
5. A picture of you and your family (and/or a friend or loved one or dog or whomever) doing something healthy (yes, I have a dirty mind too, and we know there are many activities that burn calories --but we don't really want to see that; my mom and mother-in-law read this). But it could be going out to a healthy dinner -- getting outside for a walk, playing in the yard, going to tee-ball, exercising as a group with your headbands on in your living room, whatever you want! The more creative the better! Get everyone involved!)

  • When you're done, write a post about it linking here to the contest and leave me a comment so I can come by and see!
  • You have plenty of time -- this contest closes Friday, May 16th at 8pm est. I will post all the players so everyone can see what everyone came up with. I will randomly pick the winner and announce them on Saturday, the 17th.
  • However, there will be a second prize: a prize for "Most Creative."
  • Non-bloggers can enter too -- just e-mail your "answers". Again, nothing dirty please or I will put a hex on you.
  • Anyone involved in the Summer Slimdown -- we will still have our weekly weigh-in on Fridays. Sign the linky so we can visit each other (safety in numbers)! I encourage anyone who wants to weigh-in with us (no "weight" just "weightloss") to come by and do the same -- we do this every Friday. You can read about it here.

Have fun!
Oh! and the best part: Prizes!


1 Random winner will receive a $25 gift card to Barnes and Noble. Who doesn't love books?

And...the winner of "most creative" will win (1) one DVD of Tommy Boy. My favorite movie of all time. I would like to share Chris Farley with the world.
