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!

Happy 1 year Anniversary...to me!

Today is a really big anniversary for me! I met up with my Doctor one year ago today to go over all my test results and to do an ultrasound. I was given the news that I was insulin resistant and that I have what is called PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) . A year ago today is the day I got my life back. I'll take you back in time a little to give you some background on my story so that you understand a little more of why I do what I do everyday to get my life back. This is a really long post so hopefully I don't bore everyone to death! My husband and I really wanted to start a family when we got married 14 years ago. Little did we know our journey to have kids would be a rocky road. In 7 years I was pregnant 6 times and out of those 6 pregnancies we have 2 beautiful daughters who I am very thankful that I have in my life. In 2007 when my youngest miracle was 18 months old I decided it was time to get "Jena" back. Pregnancy really took a toll on my body and I fo...

Purple Day 5k for Epilepsy

On Saturday March 24th I had the opportunity to run in the first Annual Purple Day 5k for Epilepsy. This will go down as one of the most heart warming, memorable races I have ever done. This race was created by some of my most dearest friends, The Green Family: Greg, Angela, Gabe, Marisa, and the inspiration for it all, Natalie. Natalie is 11 years old and was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy when she was 8 months old.   I decided that I wanted to race and support this great cause and my friends to help find a cure for Epilepsy. Purple is the color to support Epilepsy so of course, if you know me, you go big or you go home and so I went big and bought me a purple morph suit that covered my entire body, head to toe in purple awesomeness! You should have seen Natalie's face when I showed up decked out in my purple-tastic outfit, priceless!   There were 160 runners/walkers at this race and an amazing group called  Push to the Finish  that pus...

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
