Biggest Loser Casting Call- The experience!

Today, my friend Amy and I went to The Biggest Loser Casting Call Season 12 in Salt Lake City. I just thought I would share our experience while it is fresh! It wasn't very busy. They said that they were almost to 500 people seen in the normal line and that they had 200 VIP passes that also were handed out. We had numbers 79 and 80 on our VIP applications.

So, we got to the venue around 12, walked in, showed our VIP pass and they handed us an application. We filled them out and then they asked who was ready to go back so Amy said, "We are, there are two of us!" so they took us back with a group of 12.

Then we waited in a group line for around 20 minutes where they told us what to expect, when callbacks were being made, when video submissions were due, etc... We met some nice people who were in our group and we both were feeling really confident and excited to have this opportunity.

They called us in, we sat down, and a lady in the room had a 7 minute timer to keep the ball rolling. Our casting directors name was Kerry and she was such a nice and lovely person. She asked questions and made sure we all had a chance to answer.

First she asked our name, age, weight and what we do. Then she asked where we liked to eat, a guilty pleasure, Amy and I both said In-n-out, why did it have to come to Utah, a block away! Then she asked what was something unique that she wouldn't know from looking at us. I said I was an Archer, that I shoot a bow. She really liked that and asked if I had gone hunting and I said that was one of my goals, to go on the bow hunt. Then she asked us what the first thing we would do once we lost the weight and I said Climb outside with my husband, I like to climb inside, I am scared to climb outside with him.

Our time was up and she said thanks and had us leave our applications on our chairs, we said thanks to her and that was it!

They will be doing callbacks until 8:00 pm tonight. We both felt great about how it went. We think there is a good chance we will get a call back. If we don't, we are still doing a video and sending it in.

Overall, this was a really fun experience and I am so glad Amy asked me to go with her. It was fun, we went to lunch after and now we are anxiously awaiting!

One hundred miles...

A couple of weeks ago, April 28th 2012, I rode with a group of amazing women in the Front Runner Century bike ride. The ride was a metric century, which ends up being 62 miles. Well, I got it in my head that I wanted to ride a full 100 miles to say goodbye to the 100 pounds that will never be a part of my life again, so when I got home I rode another 38 to complete a full 100 miles in one day. It was an awesome experience to say the least! I also need send a shout out to my friend Kelli for riding another 38 for me too! She is a rockstar and I appreciate her support more than I can ever express. The day started out fabulous with the Triathlete group I am part of. We all rode the train out to SLC together and then once the race started we all ended up splitting up and then reunited at the finish. I had the greatest time riding with one of my closest friends Lori and my new friend Rhiannon. It was such a great feeling to cross the finish line with these two amazing wo...

Taking a break from the scale!

I want to lose these last 25 pounds so much, especially the next 5 because I will finally hit my 100 goal but I have a mental block going on and so I have decided to step away from the scale for awhile. The scale isn't what this is about anyways. Yes, I have a healthy weight goal that I have set so the scale keeps me on track, but it is all about how I feel. I feel good and I look fabulous and I get compliments everyday and that is what matters most. So I have to tell myself that I have lost  95 POUNDS and the next 25 pounds will come off when my body is ready to let go. I just have to keep working hard, be patient and love life! 95 FLIPPING POUNDS!  That is an entire person! I am so happy about this! I will let you all know when I jump back on that scale, and I expect it will be followed by my "I LOST 100 POUNDS PARTY" ! Keep working hard everyone, you are worth it! Thanks for reading, Jena

Day five: Week one of Boot Camp Complete!

Well, I did it, I completed a full week (5 days) of boot camp at 5:30 am and I survived. I feel so good about the hard work I have put in and I can't wait to start seeing results. I just want to say that anything is possible if you put your mind to it and just do it. No excuses, just get out there and start doing the work. There are some amazing people in our class and it is great to have them to work out with everyday. We all push each other and it is nice to hear their cheers and words of encouragement. Our two trainers are awesome and encourage us to push ourselves beyond what we think we are capable of. I look forward to next week. Even though Monday is a holiday, we are still going in on Monday. We do get to sleep in a little bit, since the gym doesn't open until 7:00 am on Monday due to the holiday. I hope everyone has a great weekend. I am looking forward to going climbing at the gym tonight, a nice run in the morning, a break on Sunday, and boot camp and a climb out...
