Biggest Loser - Week 1

Wow, I can't believe it, wonderful week and I am week 1's winner! :D

This week's weight: 83.0 kg
Last week's weight : 85.5 kg
Weight loss since last week: 2.5 kg

Starting weight: 85.5 kg
Weight loss since beginning: 2.5 kg

Goal for the competition: 82 kg

I must say that last week's weight really surprised me (not in a good way), I think it was really inflated for some reason unknown of me. I have never before lost so much in one week, so I'm not expecting another week like this. Still, already got half of my entry money back, motivating!

Green Group Parent/Child Party at Kindergarten

Every year the Kindergarten organises a parent/child evening in each group. On Friday, we had the one for the green group, which is Connor's group.

Everybody brought some food to eat together and the teachers had organised several activities.

There was a conker race, dressed in... actually, I'm not sure what it was supposed to be! ;)

Tim and Connor raced against each other


Here you can actually see the conker falling




Another activity was to create an autumn "piece" with natural material.

Logan made a deer with acorns




Connor's was a joint effort ;)


Dragon


Finally, we carved pumpkins. When I say we, I did Connor's and Tim did Logan's!

Connor's, just finished


Posing with it






Most of the pumpkins made by the kids (humm, parents)

A New Biggest Loser Competition

I have found 10 people to take part in a 10-week competition with me in the style of "The Biggest Loser". We all started weighing in on Tuesday and will do so weekly for 10 weeks. There is a weekly pot for the person who loses the most weight (in percentage of body weight) for that week and a final pot for the overall winner: the person who loses the most over the course of the competition (still in percentage).

So, here goes my first weigh in:

06/10/09: 85.5 kg

Goal for the competition: 82 kg

Griesheimer Zwiebelmarkt

Today we visited the annual Griesheimer Zwiebelmarkt with the boys and some friends.

First, the boys went on the roundabout and then they had pasta.













Connor insisted that this was KungFu Panda!


On the way back from the fest, we stopped at the playground.

Here, Connor is showing a walnut he found on the ground
