Okay, first off, let’s talk about Biggest Loser last night! It was so good! Everyone looked so great. That’s my favorite part of the show is when they go back home for the first time.
I was surprised by a lot of things. Koli I think was a little too extreme with him leaving home and working out so much and kind of cutting himself off from everyone. I understand he’s trying to win a game, but at some point he is going to have to live a normal life again with people and family and social events and he’s going to have to deal with that when the time comes.
Michael I thought looked amazing. He looks so much younger and he worked really hard at home and I think he’s going to be able to help his sister who is overweight a lot!
Ashley did amazing during the marathon. It is a daunting task for sure and I liked how she had a great attitude about the whole thing. I am happy she and Michael are in the final 2!!
Daris, Daris….what happened?!? If he caves at home the first 30 days by overeating at night, he’s never going to keep the weight off. When they showed the commercial of someone gaining 2 pounds I never would have thought in a million years it would have been him!
So, my question for you is, who are you going to vote for, Daris or Koli??

Now on to SALAD CLUB!!!
I started a salad club at my office a few weeks ago. We had one a few years ago, but it kind of broke up and we never went back to it. We have some new employees, so I sent the invite out to whoever wanted to join.
We now have 7 people in it. Basically how it works is you bring a bag of greens, and a fruit or vegetable to share + a bottle of dressing to share.
We put all the greens in a giant bowl and then you can add whatever else someone brought.
Yesterdays salad (my camera battery died, so no picture!) was spinach, mixed greens, fresh herbs, strawberries, cucumbers, green onions, toasted flax seeds, dried cranberries, soy nuts and croutons.
And the best part? There are usually leftovers for the next day, so I don’t have to worry about lunch 2 days a week and I am eating something healthy!
Do you have a healthy eating club at work, or would you want to start one??
I love the salad club idea! I wonder if I could get that started at my office! I must ponder that. 🙂
I was shocked that Daris gained weight, but I could so easily relate to him, especially with my knee injury right now and the 1am binge eating. I was disappointed, but at the same time, it makes him human. I’m not sure I could support Koli knowing he had to cut himself off from the world like that. I’m torn. :/
Your salad club is a great idea!!! It wouldn’t work at my workplace, as I am the only one (out of 4 people) who eat decently healthy. Lots of fast food from the others…
I hope Daris makes it. I think the weight gain is from his marathon training – he really made that a priority, and it might come back to bite him in the end.
I’ve never heard of one before. What an awesome idea though! Would have worked great at my old office.
That is a great idea! I am no longer in an office setting, otherwise I would sugges this!
Salad club sounds cool.
Daris made me sad but to a degree he is right he was training for a marathon and that’s not a great time to lose weight if you want to fuel your body properly (at least according to most things I read) gain that was over the top. But look at his marathon time it was awesome and he’s right no one can take that away from him.
I voted for Daris. Koli was manipulative several times all the while saying they didn’t game play and I really think he copped out by going to vegas, he had a mini ranch, I bet the others would have lost more if they had done the same… I don’t think Daris can win it though he doesn’t have that much left to lose, I wish he would though and hopefully this will shake him up and he will learn to deal with his food issues.
