Biggest Loser + Deals = Fun

So many people have entered my giveaway and I'm so excited to be able to giveaway something that I feel has helped me become more nutritious, and that is saying a lot. I am the queen of fast food, and going to the supermarket is hard for me because I think that the labels would never tell a lie, which is not true. Remember to enter by posting a comment on this blog if you haven't already!

Most of you know I have a love for the Biggest Loser TV show. Last nights episode was another great one, but I really felt bad for Carla. She wanted it so badly and worked SO hard during the entire show. Where did the producers ever find Joelle? The yellow team and pink teams had it right. "Whenever Joelle opened her mouth whatever came out didn't make sense." She was spouting off about going to a higher intensity. What in the world was she talking about. Granted it showed her wandering the gym and never really 'doing' anything, but that could also be how they wanted to portray her. Either way, I'm glad that Carla can do it at home, and someone please get Joelle some help!

For working out, I'm still sore from the half this past weekend, but I have vowed that tomorrow morning I'm going to go for a short three mile jog and take it really easy. It's hard for me to run 'easier' than my normal pace, and I hope to 'learn' how to do that during my training for my upcoming marathon. I need to realize not every mile needs to be working hard and that sometimes, just getting out there and increasing my endurance and mileage are what I need to succeed.

So today I found a whole bunch of workout stuff on Sale from a bunch of random sites. Enjoy!

Nike Women's New Cardio Club Jacket. It's on sale for a variety of prices for different colors, but they are all less than the listing price of $65.00. It's Dri-FIT with a stand-up collar that looks sleek wherever you decide to wear it. The convenient full-front zip allows for easy on and off, while the side pockets allow you to carry everything you need.

"I need to realize not every mile needs to be working hard and that sometimes, just getting out there and increasing my endurance and mileage are what I need to succeed."

Such insightful words! I was just thinking about this yesterday, when I started my run. My body has felt a little run down lately, and I think part of it is always pushing hard through every mile. But it's difficult to take it easy and accept a slower time on that watch. I did it though! Hopefully you find some success in this too :)

I just bought new Nike running shirts that I love! Thanks for always keeping us up to date on the great running gear!

RunToTheFinish said...

Yes learning to slow down is going to be one of my very big things for this training plan..or I won't survive!

Dude the Joelle thing was like no surprise she let Carla down, but man you felt so bad for Carla. I still can't believe the Orange team had to go last week, that kid needs this show so bad to save his life.

Marlene said...

It was definitely time for Joelle to go home, but I feel bad for Carla too. I hope she kicks butt at home.

Try to enjoy a nice easy run!

Janice {Run Far} said...

I love The BBL.... I was bummed to see Carla leave, it wasn't fair. Jowelle just didn't get it at all, she does need help. I love that pink jacket, I am going to check it out.

LyndsAU said...

I love that Nike shirt and the jacket :) thanks for sharing girl!

I'm a a Biggest Loser fanantic!!!I did feel really bad for Carla, because she desperately wanted this for herself. I hope she has a good trainer at home and shocks us at the Finale. This is exactly how I felt last week for Dan. He wanted to be there so bad and at age 18, he NEEDED to be there, he was way too over weight... and yet his partner didnt care. Awful. I hope something changes in their partners.

Great post girl!

Nicole said...

FLYERS26 said...

Where are the men's clothes?

Alisa said...

I agree with Aron, I don't like that tank...I tried it on at Sports Authority...personally, no one needs to see my muffin top =).

Catching up on blogs so I'm digging through your posts today!

Denise said...

I was pretty sore after the half on sunday, too. Crazy that the extra effort can take such a toll.

Britni said...

I felt HORRIBLE for Carla. Joelle was really just out of it all of the time, and she deserved to go home but shouldn't have been able to take Carla with her. I wish Joelle would've gone home with David last week.

Awesome finds! Thanks so much for sharing them! I just found your blog... hope you don't mind me following along! ;)

Thanks for sharing all these great deals!

Yes, what the heck was up with Joelle. Her sentences, if you can even call them that, made NO sense. Poor Carla, she was working so hard. I hope she continues to succeed at home. Joelle definitely did not seem like she cared about Carla or about their friendship at all.

Jocelyn said...

Ohhhh I want it all!!!

Run Mommy said...

I love that you put deals on your blog.. so fun. I have also watched BL occassional and I think it is great what they do. Better than surgery!

Runner Leana said...

Oh, I was rooting for Carla, but Joelle didn't deserve to stay there. I'm just sad that they had to leave as a team and hadn't been split down to individuals yet. The father/son team is breaking my heart because they need to be there, and they work hard...they've just been in the bottom lately.

Those are some fantastic deals. Love that Nike jacket!

I love that jacket. I'm not a runner, but I love working out, and walking my dog. And since I live in Michigan, it's nice to have something warm like that to walk my dog in. I might buy it :)

Unknown said...

Julianne said...

Omg, I must get the 180s earmuffs. SO friggin cute!!

BOBBI McCORMICK said...
