KELLEY AND KRIS...'s profileTEXAS SISTERS - Audition...PhotosBlogListsMore

Kelley and I are having a great time working on our audition tape. I hope it gets someone's attention at Holland Casting. Everyone enjoy your fourth. Bob's challenge - work out til you turn red and blue, no eating white foods today, including sugar.

Tomorrow

So tomorrow I will either be interviewing potential employees or interviewing myself for Biggest Loser 9. Weird. I have 2 interviews in the morning, then Kristie is coming up to the office to work on our video then she leaves and I have 2 more interviews. OUR VIDEO IS GOING TO ROCK! There's never been 2 sisters on the show so I can soooo see us on the show. Jonathan and I played Rockband tonight, and I worked up more of a sweat than I expected. The drums are much harder than the guitar. Jonathan was also given a list of things he needs to do to get ready for football-jump rope, squats, push-ups, sit-ups and some running, hopefully I'll have enough energy for us to do this together. I'll let you know how it goes. Kelley

This Weekend

Trying to get motivated to lose weight again, but unfortunately I gave in to the "FREE FOOD FRIDAY" today. Macaroni Grill. Ugh, now I feel bloated. But I'm also excited, because Kristie is coming in town today so we can work on our audition video for BL9-trying to be ourselves but also be exciting enough to get noticed by the Casting Director. Last year we went to the audtions while in full SPACES MODE, completed the applications and video and never got a response, to be expected that's for sure, but what's weird is that our audition cheer from our audition tape, that we happened to put on our Spaces page got picked up from someone and 10 sec was actually played during the BL Broadcast. What can I do to get rid of the pasta when it's 106 outside-maybe I'll swim some laps.

It's Been Awhile

Wow, it's been awhile since I've been on this site, does that mean it's also been awhile since I haven't been writing down what I eat or hitting the gym every morning. Unfortunately there is a correlation there. I have no excuse, I just need to hop back on the horse. And as you can see Kristie and I are going to do it big. We will be audtioning again for the Biggest Loser for Season 9. Last year we went to Dallas, but this year it's closer to home in San Antonio. YEA! We're working on our video.

I need to find my motivation, I would say I left it in Florida but the truth is, it's been gone a couple of months.

New Countdown - to Biggest Loser 9 Audition

I am back from my crazy vacation and have a new mission. That is right Kelley and I decided to try out for Biggest Loser Season 9. We are making a video and will be attending the live auditions in San Antonio on July 11. Any advice? I have been reading on-line tips from Holland. I really want to make a funny video. Thanks, Kristie

Interests

to learn to love running Biking Travelling Eating-oh yeah that's why we're here.

We are sisters who want to be Texas Biggest Losers. Kristie lives in Houston. Kelley lives in Pflugerville. We are doing this first because we need to be in better health. We have both always loved being active, but our weight gains have created barriers to the activities we love. Kelley especially needs to be there for her 9 year old son. She adopted him 2 years ago and he IS VERY ACTIVE. We LOVE the BIGGEST LOSER. If we could afford Bob or Jillian we'd hire them if even for one day.. We're following the Biggest Loser Mealplan. Kelley is now eating breakfast, and Kristie is eating a healthy breakfast. Kristie's goal is to ride the MS150 so she'll be biking, walking and weigh traing. Kelley joined a gym and is taking Kickboxing. She also uses the elliptical, bike, and is swimmng laps. We plan on snowboarding during spring break and want to complete a run without stopping for a break. We want to prove that everything doesn't have to be bigger in Texas. SEE YOU AT THE FINALE!

QUICK HEALTHY IDEAS


Can't Live Without... My George Foreman grill, SALSA or Braggs Liquid Aminos. it contains 16 amino acids and is gluten free and it tastes like Soy Sauce, great for marinating, adding to salads, steamed veggies, whole grain rice. My son thinks its Soy Sauce

Desserts Frozen Graham Cracker Cool Whip Sandwiches, Cupcakes made with cake mix and a can of pumpkin(no egg or oil yummy and adds fiber), fruit salad, yogurt and granola,

Mexican Food Use corn or low carb tortillas instead, Make Portabello Mushroom Fajitas, Use Fat-Free or Vegetarian Refried Beans, Make Fish Tacos with lots of veggies, drink a lite Corona instead of a Margarita(700 calories)

Snacks Sunflower Seeds,almonds, fruit,Fiber One Bars, String Cheese, Celery with a touch of peanut butter, homemade hummus with celery, carrots or pita bread

Lighter Meals A bowl of Kashi Go Lean, Meat and Cheese wrapped in a lettuce leaf, Tuna with fat free or reduced ranch dressing,

Meals Use tofu crumbles instead of ground meat in recipes. Add brocolli, mushrooms, squash and spinach to marinara sauce instead of meat, boca or garden burgers

CREATIVE EXERCISE TIPS


Be creative when it comes to Exericse Changing up your routine keeps it from becoming boring. Here are a few creative takes on exercise.

Housework Make your house the cleanest on the block and burn lots of calories in the process. Rearrange the furniture,cabinets, garage or basement.

At the office Bring small hand weights to use at your desk, do leg lifts from your chair, go up or down the stairs for no reason, go to people's offices instead of calling them.

Start a hobby That gets you oustide. Gardening is wonderful exercise. Or volunteer at a youth center or Habitat for Humanity.

Unloading groceries/bags When unloading bags from your car carry one bag at a time into the house. I live upstairs so this is a real workout.

Get up from your chair Lose the remote and change the channel the old fashioned way. When at a drive-thru (getting salad) park and go inside.

Park further away from the door Park a distance away from your location and then take the longest route to the door.

Use stairs instead of the escalator I ride 3 escalators every day several times a day getting from the parking garage to the elevators. Walking up the stairs believe it or not is faster and better exercise.

Child's Play Jump on a trampoline, play hopscotch, jump over cracks in the sidewalk, rollerskate, play tag with your kids.

Dance Like no one is watching!
