That’s right, Selena was dethroned at the final weigh-in for Biggest Loser, Greg and Selena edition. A full day of restraint from snacking and an extra hour at the gym paid off, as I was able to finally right the ship and actually stop gaining weight while on the challenge (1.2 lbs lost this week, 0.8 lbs overall). Selena stopped idling and lost weight as well (0.2 lbs lost this week and overall), but not enough to make it a clean sweep .
I am thrilled about Selena’s punishment which is to consolidate all her thousands of digital photos, spread across 2 cameras, 3 computers and god knows where else, into one central repository that can be easily viewed using Picasa or iPhoto.
As this round of the challenge comes to an end, I will call it a success. Measurably we both succeeded, albeit not meeting the intended goals, but losing weight all the same. Moreover, though, it got us both thinking twice before eating that cookie, or blowing off going to the gym, knowing we would be accountable for those actions on the scale come Tuesday. I fully expect we will start up a second round of the Biggest Loser when we get back from our travels. Selena deserves a rematch.
Congrats, Greg! Though, I agree that Selena deserves a rematch… you darn Robleto boys and your incessant need to eek out victory over competition at all cost, even in the final moments, and if coming from behind the whole time : P
So, where’d you get that awesome scale picture- is this something you own??
Yes, yes, we Robletos are too competitive. That’s why we can’t do the Selena’s scavenger hunt idea.
BTW, the picture I just found online when searching Google Images for “weight scale” but I would love to have the real thing. It’s pretty cool. Metrically useless, but cool.
Congratulations, Greg! You have proven the master at losing.
Wait – that doesn’t sound right…
My favorite is the first notch- “Baby Jesus”
Hahaha : )
