NEWS NEWS NEWS!

I was lucky enough to go to not 1 but 2 NBA games this weekend! Very fun time except this guy kept getting in my view and saying "Candy? Candy? Candy?" It was driving me bonkers! 2 days in a row!

I also did a yoga class this morning with Grace!


Baby Kate is amazing as always! She sends me regular texts and messages, and I think she even reads the blog! I can only assume since no one ever messages me I'm all alone out here on this thing. (Is that a desperate plea for someone to please send me some shred news, YES!)


Here's an excerpt from a message from her-


Half hour on the elliptical and 20 min of abs on Tuesday night. I've been missing Bikram since I'm on travel this week. Drove into Portland (45 min) to catch a class tonight. But BING-411 lead me astray with some shitty directions, so I didn't make it in time. Damn dumbphones! Back home and into the groove...
Thursday 1/2 hour on elliptical + some abs
Friday 1 1/2 hr Bikram yoga
Saturday 1 hr weightlifting class



Am I proud of BK?! YES! I couldn't imagine being more proud!


Mike Kerner did a 3 mile walk/run! That's the first one for him in a few weeks! 

Lannie is sick... Stay strong dude!

WEEKEND UPDATE!

GUESS WHO'S BAAAACK!?!?!?!

If you guessed Mike Kerner, you win! Our favorite Slop-Body is back and shedding that tubbiness! He upped his usual 2 miles walk/run to a 4 mile run/walk! Yeah dude!

Lannie got in a 45 minute fat burn, but is lacking motivation and forcing himself to go to the gym. We dealt with this last year everyone, after about 3 weeks it starts to get HARD. You start to realize, this isn't your regular 2 weeks off sugar thing... its 100 EFFING DAYS! Lannie has taken to chewing sugar free gum to fight cravings! He is a big fan of 5 gum and recommends it to everyone!

Winters sent this pic, I bet her little bastard children are tempting her! Hang strong W!

Kool-aid rocked the gym! woo hoo!

D$ was the kid that other kids weren't allowed to play with. Bad influence?
D$ and V-Rod sent me this pic of them staying sugar free! We went out the other night and I saw V-Rod turn down some sugar free chocolate covered almonds... She is a ROCK!

Baby Kate is being awesome as always! Bikram, CHECK. 1/2 hour cardio killing, CHECK. Strength training, CHECK! This batch is bad y'all!

Beezus and Schwartz are in NC doing an entire weekend of cardio, I can only speculate this because neither of them have come up for air to text me! Tonsil hockey can be so tiring! #1+#2=<3? stay tuned!

I asked Emily to do a blog since she emailed me some great stuff, she politely declined. I was planing on calling her to try and convince her, so I asked Daniel for her phone number. He gave it to me and then told me "DO NOT PUT THIS ON THE BLOG!'... I had never even entertained that thought! But i HATE it when people tell me what to do, and I usually do it just because they said I cant.. So, suck it D-Thomp... Click HERE for Emily's phone number!

I am going to shred on the slopes via skiing for the next few days, and might be blogging a bit slowly, do not fret people! I will do my best to keep the blog up and rocking!

KEEP IT SUGAR FREE FRIENDS!

NEWS NEWS NEWS!

Here it is my friends.. the 100SFD NEWS!

Mike Kerner has been having knee issues and hopped into a 1 hour spinning class yesterday, looks like this is going to be his new jam-jam since running just isn't doing him any good!

Schwartz is doing weights like a champ. He knocked out bench, shoulder press, and triceps. All with high reps... this dude is pretty much poised for shred!

Lannie did TRX - Total body resistance exercise which is just your weight and bands! It seems fairly simple and not nearly as pansy as "Ballet Burn"... Yeah Beezus...  I'M CALLING YOU OUT!!!

Roy says that hes "Just not into the 100 days like he was last year."... I want to remind everyone that this is a MARATHON! Its 100% OK to not be into this ALL the time, just remain sugar free and push over those humps, this is where its easy to backslide and staying strong will pay off in the long run!... 2 weeks is a long time for a competition, this is more than 3 months! Hang in there Roy! We are all there for you!

I think I know what Roy is going through, he is having his MERIAD! (That's my slang for man-period) I only know this because I am also having my meriod right now!  I have had a really strange week, Vanessa and I were talking about it last night and we agree something is just in the air. I must be on my meriod because Ive been acting like a fucking baby everywhere I go and saying things like the following...

"I'M SO DEPRESSED, I JUST NEED TO CRY RIGHT NOW"

"I HATE MY BODY IN THIS SHIRT"

"I COULD NEVER TRY ON JEANS RIGHT NOW, I FEEL SOOO BLOATED"

I'm not kidding... Seriously people... Ash even has an alter ego name for me... Tyra... So if you ever see me acting a fool, call me out on it.... But call me Tyra when you do!



ADAM AND CAROLINE!
NEW COMPETITORS!? THATS RIGHT! I had a pleasant surprise email yesterday from my good friends up in Canada, Adam and Caroline! I had not idea but they are doing the 100SFD's too! The email said something like "T-Man you never mention us on the blog" so I emailed them back "You never mentioned that you were doing the competition".. Then I went through all my old emails and I was wrong.. they told me.. I forgot.. Not too many of my dude friend get the whole "Man Period" thing but Adam does! He gets his all the time! We usually go shopping together to ease the stresses of the meriod... Happy to have you two!

Last night was Molly's birthday! We had an AMAZING time! Thanks Mol!

Baby Kate is just handling shit up north! Here is a snippet from an email she sent - "AND, another Bikram class tonight - I felt exhausted, but finally making some really great improvements.  I'm gonna miss Bikram when I'm on travel for three weeks!  Looking for a good gym to work out in while I'm gone."

NEWS! NEWS! NEWS! NEWS!

Kate's sugar free granola!
SUGAR RAY LEONARD!?!?!?!?!?! SERIOUSLY WORLD?!?!?!?

That's right, Sugar Ray Leonard has joined the cast of "Dancing with the STARS", I will be boycotting that show because I am staying sugar free!

In all honesty, I'm boycotting that show because it sucks.


Once again it seems that Kate is MVP'ing this whole thing! She is doing Bikram yoga like a champ and sent this lovely message:


"20 minutes of an abs class then a 1 hour cardio class (BodyAttack). I'm having a hard time finding granola in the store that doesn't have lots of sugar, so I decided to make another batch of my own. Used honey and agave nectar for the sweetness and used coconut chips instead of sweetened shredded coconut. Very nice blog today about Roberta. I'm sure Alexis appreciated it. And way to go Alexis for giving up sugar during this tough time!"
2 cups berries, 1 banana, 1 cup spinach, a little light silk

Very kind words, and she is right, WAY TO GO ALEXIS!


Stephanie P is taking off with a vengeance!!!!! She is eating right and working out! She sent in some great pics and 100SFD's is really proud of her!!!! GO STEFF!!!! Here is a nice morning smoothie recipe she sent me ->


Boring Beezus left CrossFit and moved on to greener pastures with "Ballet Burn"! The name does sound a little "pansy" but she assures me that its awesome! We are all glad that you're happy Beez!


Schwartz did a 9 mile run the other day, with a GIANT hill! 40 minutes up and 30 back down!


Cadance, such a fat ass!
Jessica Dean did a 3.8 mile hike... Hey Jessica, I hope you hiked off all that guilt for cheating on us here at the 100SFD's... This "may" be the last time I bring this up!


Winters finished week 1 of P90X.. she says it hurts so much she can barely brush her teeth!


Taylor has committed to getting into some yoga classes, he has acknowledged flexibility as his weakness and is going to address it! So proud you Tay!


D-Thomp and Emily are shredding in DC killing it with P90X. D-Thomp's cat Cadance however is a lazy bastard, and is ZERO motivation during shred time!

Denlin has been sick for quite a few days! get better D$!

Girls Night has left the flu behind and is back from her trip to Jackson Hole! She got her sweat on up there in Wyoming and came up with quite a few work outs of her own! She told me about an interesting one called "Hooking up"... I didn't ask but I'm assuming its a LOT of cardio! ;)

Better late than never!!! Lannie got his body fat % done yesterday! 14.5% fat and a lung capacity of 4.225L (I don't know what the EFF that means but its NEWS, right?) He also needs to start consuming 3300 calories a day! Very cool LAN-MAN!

It's the freakin weekend baby! I'm about to have me some fun!

R Kelly said it best, it IS the freakin weekend baby!

News time!!!!!

First off, damn you, Girl Scouts for making such delicious cookies!!! Everyone everywhere is eating them and they look GREAT! Winters' roommate ordered some Tagalongs and for punishment she had to describe in detail for over 30 minutes what it felt like to eat such a treat! That's harsh. Poor Winters!

If you want to have an amazing meal in Venice go to "Sauce On Hampton". Then afterwards when you get the check there are free warm cookies... FREE WARM COOKIES!!!! OMFG free is one thing, but to add warm into the mix... Ash and I both almost had a seizure, but held fast! After Reggie and Matthew ate the cookies we traded off open mouth french kissing them for 45 minutes... It got real awkward real fast, but its as close to eating a cookie we are going to get for the next 88 days!

Dom is an asshole, that's right people you heard it here first on 100SFD's news feed. Mike Kerner has a roommate named Dominic De Douche who is keeping cupcakes in their shared refrigerator just to tempt our "Future-Former-Fattie". (Yes I coined that, and yes its a double negative, AND YES if you think about it for a second it makes sense)

Dthom and Emily were enjoying DC yesterday when they found out Georgetown cupcakes was giving away free cupcakes! Neither of them caved... Stay strong, you two! You are pillars of strength!

Speaking of Pillars of Strength, DO NOT put Jessica on your list of pillars! I got this text from her this weekend...
"I may have gotten really drunk last night and had one bite of birthday cake"
She "may" have eaten birthday cake... Imagine if all things in life were like that..

"Sorry Babe, I "may" have contracted genital warts at my bachelor party."

"Judge, I "may" have known she was underage."

Am I going overboard on comparing eating sugar to cheating on your spouse or having sex with a minor?... I "may" be!

PFFFFTTT!!!! (Seriously though, I bet that cake she "may" have eaten was AMAZING! But was the flavor of sugary defeat worth it, NO! ... I think?)

Denlin says she has discovered some awesome sugar alternatives! Unsweetened chocolate almond milk is D$'s new jam jam! Direct Quote - "Not any brown rice sugar bullshit or wheat sugar... nuthin! Almond breeze unsweetened choco. Choco satisfaction with out the sweet!"




Vanessa said "No No No" to sugar this weekend at "Blue Jam Cafe" in Hollywood! She likes her coffee like she likes her men! Strong, dark, and with no sugar in their tank! GO V!


Speaking of V's Man, Mitch is driving his Green Truck cross country (he wont be putting sugar in the tank), it's going to be tough stopping at all those little trucker joints and not having some ketchup with the fries. Hang strong M-Dawg, we got your back!


Baby Kate is up north just handling business! Here is a snippet from an email i received from her "I really miss eating chocolate - I can put away a LOT of chocolate and not really be satisfied. I ate chocolate most days before starting 100 SFD." - Baby Kate, I'm with you! I too can eat chocolate till the cows come home and not feel full! But stay strong, and whatever you do, don't be a JESSICA!

NEWS! NEWS! NEWS! NEWS!


"So ice cream is cool right Tyler?"
Stephanie is baaaaack ... She emailed me today to let me know that she didn't quit. She only "quit" when she thought that there was NO sugar, like fruit and stuff was off limits. Well she finally got around to looking at the rules and still wants in. Welcome back Stephanie! We missed you and welcome you back as a serious 100SFD competitor.


Baby Kate had a 1 hour weight lifting class! She is turning into the MVP of this competition! Keep it real up there Baby Kate! We are hella proud of you!!


Brenna knocked out some cross fit... Hang in there B! It will get better! 

Girls Night is sick people! Get better GNG!

Molly and I both knocked out a spinning/yoga class at YAS in Venice! I plan on blogging about that more this weekend!

Ryan and Paul (Ryan was on yesterdays LABOR PAINS blog and Paul owns the gym we shred in) signed up for the Tough Mudder and Ash and I are seriously pumped to run with them! Lets kick ass boys!!!!! 
"Nothing can stop me! NOT even PIE!"

Mini Mandy AKA Polly Pocket sent me a wonderful email today, here is a clip describing just what she is enduring!

"I have been tempted on multiple occasions. College is FULL of sugar! In the last week I have turned down offers of: brownies,carrot cake, homemade banana ice cream, vt apple pie, chocolate chip cookies (multiple times) , banana bread, dark chocolate ( a present from someone who doesn't know im not eating sugar...good intentions though), fudge, chocolate truffles, ben and jerry's (twice) and coconut chocolate squares.. ALL of it fo' FREE!... its only been a week."

I wouldn't wish that temptation on my worst enemy.. hang in there Polly Pocket!:)


Pretty big smile for a QUITTER! Pffft

Winters played frisbee for 30 minutes and then made her class sprint up stairs! She also made her class do a 2 mile walk. She said that they slept like... well.. children afterwards! She had 5 kids commit to the 100SFD's and only has 2 left! We salute you strong children! As for the quitters... Is this our nations future?! A bunch of QUITTERS?! Well congrats random kid with navy blue sweatshirt in Winters class! You made it on the 100SFD BURN BOARD!!!! I hope that the shame of being on our BURN BOARD drives you to early onset insanity!!!

OK that was probably just a bit too much...

Can YOU blow out all YOUR air? Give it a try!

Greetings fellow 100 SFDers! I don’t know most of you; I just met Tyler and Ashley while visiting my brothers in Santa Monica this past summer. So, thanks Tyler for inviting me to join this exclusive club. It has been a great motivator for me to finally take control of my eating habits and really work on getting super-fit. I KNOW I can get super-fit, I just have to work at it (I’m feeling a bit like Stuart Smalley right now).

Already a week into our challenge, and I finally found a place up here in Washington state that does hydrostatic weighing. So, I drove an hour and a half last night to Central Washington University to have a fitness test and get a body composition analysis. It started out with the skin fold body fat % - they took measurements on my tricep, hip, and thigh (quadriceps). Results – 22.4% body fat, which is average for a woman. Then I took a ride on a stationary bike where they calculated my VO2 max. This was not a difficult ride but about 5 minutes into it, I started sweating. I really want to believe that you sweat more the more in shape you are…am I kidding myself? Some day I’ll show you a picture after a Bikram class. I’m already sweating during the first breathing exercise! But alas, no “ball sweat”. So anyway, I’m in the 30-40th percentile for VO2. Shitty! I always felt I had crappy lung capacity, now it is confirmed. I scored excellent on the push up, partial curl up (sit up), and flexibility (thanks Bikram) tests. Last test was the hydrostatic weighing, which I was a tad worried about doing. I’m not a swimmer and have a difficult time, breathing/not breathing/holding my breath/not holding my breath under water. So expelling all of the air from my lungs and staying under water was a challenge! I tried three times. The last time, they got a reading, but I had not gotten all of the air out of my lungs. Results – 26.4%. If I had gotten more air out, they said this value would have been lower. So, my starting BF% is likely somewhere between 22 and 26%. That’s way better than what my body composition scale has been telling me (33-34%). So, if any of you are just relying on a bioelectrical impedance device to tell you your BF%, I highly recommend getting either the skin fold or the hydrostatic weighing test. I was fully ready to have the guys doing the test take a picture of me in the tank (bikini and all), but after my perceived failure getting an accurate reading, I felt defeated and went without. Tyler, sorry for letting you down! I promise to get you some pictures to post on the blog. Anyone else want to put up some “before” pictures now? I’ll do it if you do! As an added reminder of my sugar-free/shred challenge, I’ve changed my laptop wallpaper to one of my before pictures. Good luck to you all and thanks for the motivation! Tyler and Ashley, next time I’m in Cali, I want to get on the Kane Train. Those workouts look KILLER!

Here's a different kind of before and after photos:
Before: Hard at work tagging fish
After: Following a 2-hour cardio workout (no, this isn't after a shower).

NEWS! NEWS! NEWS!

PEOPLE ARE SHREDDING!!!!!

So, my video about Kobe Bryant and Bikram Yoga got pulled down... So I just renamed it and put it on youtube.. Lets see if "The Man" tears it down sort of like cupcakes are trying to tear me down in my dreams at night! Seriously... nightmares.. about confections?!

Molly did what she calls the "Molly Loop" which is 2.5 miles with situps and free weights! she wasn't full yet so for dessert she took a yoga class! WOW!

Schwartz ran 7 miles yesterday and is hitting the gym tonight! There is no stopping that guy!

Lannie went for a walk and passed a Cinnabon, and after licking the window for 30 minutes moved on and  remained sugar free! We admire your dedication LanMan!

Mike Kerner upped the number of mileage he usually does, he has been steady with 2 miles but went 2.5 today! Hey Captain Cardio, watch your ass cause Kerner is gunning for you!

Mike's wonderful mom Wendy bought a TON of girl scout cookies!!!!! She put them in the freezer for when we get there in July for her birthday!!!!! There is a reason we call her Mama Kerner! 

I went with Girls Night to the gym today, I am going to help her post her first blog tonight hopefully! SHE KILLED IT THIS MORNING!!! It was inspiring to watch!

Baby Kate is up north canning food (then not sharing it) and pushing through Bikram Yoga classes... Kobe is proud I'm sure of it. Lets see if he mentions her in his post-game questioning tonight

Jessica D is hiking hiking hiking!!!! 3.8 miles yesterday!!
Winters texted me that she has been listening to Ke$ha to work out, I'm disappointed in her and am taking a poll if we are going to have to throw her out of the 100SFD's!

KOOL AID HAS BOOBS!!! well, not yet but his pec's are getting shredded! Yesterday he did a chest workout and a 2 mile run!

DThomp came up with a new sugar free post workout shake, 6oz milk, 2 frozen strawberries, and whey protein has no sugar and is vanilla flavored. He is turning down cookies (see right) literally EVERY DAY at work... his strength is limitless! 

Ash and I are resting today, yesterday got ugly while we were going into "LABOR PAINS" 

EVERYONE PLEASE SEND PICS!!! THEY KEEP THE BLOG GOING!!!!

Weekend Update... not with Kevin Nealon!

Hey Kevin, We know you"re reading
Ironically I saw Kevin Nealon shopping in Whole Foods the other day... I wish I had seen him buying sugary things but he was buying fruit.. I bet he is following the blog!

Its time for your weekend update,  I had my first SUPER BAD sugar cravings, I swear people that bake brownies and/or cookies within smelling distance of my house are terrorists... I know this to be a truth! I told Heather about my cravings and she told me to "Suck on a splenda packet"... Hey Heather... SUCK FARTS! (inside joke)

Pandora has an advertisement on the iphone thats there ALL FUCKING DAY!!! (see pic of the screen grab I did) I happily paid the $35 to get them to take the cupcake away from me... was it worth it.. probably not, but if it was like a picture of your ex and you two had a nasty breakup you would pay the $35 to get rid of it too! DONT YOU DARE JUDGE ME!!!!

Alexis is taking some good walks on the beach and played wii for an hour yesterday, she said she got sore... I'm not sure if that makes the wii look amazing or is she is amazingly out of shape... I'm thinking its the wii that's amazing... I think.

Molly fought some cravings for dessert last night, she won.. congrats Molly!

Vanessa said "no thank you" to her mothers birthday cake... i miss you cake... oh how i miss you

Girls Night is "sucking honey out of the beeeeeez nest" .. the first few days are easy people.. this is where is gets hard! If you offered me frosting served off of Osama Bin Ladens hairy nipples i would have a hard time saying no at this point.

Jessica went on a nice 2.5 mile hike with her dude Seth and did P90X with abs and plyometrics ... but fuck that... I want to talk about cake!!!! ... I also miss ice cream... Its a real love affair I have with this sugar.. is it love if you aren't loved back?

Forgive... but never forget
D Thompson turned down some cupcakes and donuts at work.. I dont know if I could have stayed strong if I actually had a real job (nobody pretend for one second that hand modeling is a real job) where people were always tempting me with sugary goodness... good work D Thomp

On another note, my mom texted me the following "rum cake" when i texted her back "WTF?" she simply replied " ;) " ...  She is a wonderful woman and has almost 10 years sober. So, I texted her back "red wine ;)"... TWO CAN PLAY THIS GAME NANCY!!!!


Baby Kate is out there hammering ass!!! Here is a clip from an email she sent me...


"Intervals on a stationary bike (with arm Resistance too) - 30sec fast/30sec super-slow for 30min
+ Nordictrac treadmill - 525ft elevation gain (got up to 18% incline) and 0.7miles in 15min - then walked it out to finish off the mile
+ Row machine - 3000m in 15min
Then treated myself to a hot tub soak and sauna."

There is an 85% chance will have a six pack of abdominals by noon tomorrow!

SHREDDING NEWS - Thursday, February 17th

Vanessa hit up an aerobics weight lifting class. Her and Mitch both are working on Mitch's infamous catering truck (The Green Truck, see right) feeding Kobe Bryant and crew on a Mercedes commercial. Kobe, Mitch, and V-Rod should have no problems fighting sugar urges since all they serve is organic, green, and uber healthy!

Stephanie is in San Fran fighting urges at Starbucks this morning, she is ordering her lattes "sugar free" and her p90x is in full swing. Its Kenpo tonight!

Denlin is on a Lil-Wayne shoot all day with our good friend Cheese, shes fighting the craft service table... its a bitch that craft service!!!

Kool-Aid got in a 2 mile run followed by a 1 mile cool down walk with the dog, followed by a bit of abdominal work!

Word on the street is that Schwartz hasn't stopped doing keigels since yesterday, needless to say Beezus is excited to see him put those muscles to use the next time they see each other! He also got in a 6 mile run at 7:00 pace per mile. That Schvitz is a BEAST! cant wait to see him perform at the mudder!

Kane Train has a serious "EYE OF THE TIGER"
Girls Night is taking a off day from Kenny Kane since hes been giving her an ass kicking pretty much every day!

Speaking of Kenny, our good friend Taylor is debating hopping on board the "Kane Train" and going a few sessions with 100SFD's favorite trainer!

SHREDDING NEWS - Wednesday, February 16th



Addison Achord is in and if she can do it anyone can! The girl is 8 years old, and she if she can go without sugar anyone can! I received this letter in the mail today which states "I will be joining the contest this year" Addison gave up sugar for 80 days last year, and we all know how nice that must have been for her parents.. having a child who doesn't eat sugar.. blessing;)

People are shredding - i am starting a new thing where if you do a work out text me and i put it up everyday under the "News" posting.

Molly Sue enjoyed Tamals yoga class yesterday in Santa Monica

Baby Kate had a "hellish" bikram yoga class! that will shred you fast! its basically yoga in a room at 105'! Roy and I gave it a go a few months ago and felt like we got beat up afterwards!

Kool-Aid and Mike Kerner both got in a 2 mile run however as soon as Winters heard this she texted me that she was going out for a 4 mile run just to make him feel bad.

Mike Schwartz just texted me that he has done 500 keigels today and plans on doing 500 more before he gets off work!

Denlin is taking a few days to rest since shes been sick but is still getting in a good stretch

Jessica D is committing to a hike every Saturday and tonight is trying a "core synergetics" class

it seem that p90x is popular with the group this year!

Mike Kerner, D-Thomp, Emily, Jessica D, Steph, and Winters all are giving that a go.
