Chicks up for a Challenge - W.O.W. BOO! Halloween Challenge~Week 4

Alright Ladies Week 4 is upon us. Lets make this week the best one ever!

Week 1~148
Week 2~145
Week 3~144
Week 4~142 :dracula:

This weekend went by fast. I am so glad today is my last day for a day. I have been having real trouble getting motivated to go to work. With cold and flu season upon us I keep thinking, IF i call in sick today I wont have that day when I need it. Our attendance policy is stupid, but I don't want to get put on the probation list. It takes forever to get off of it.

I really hope that I can get into the 130's by the end of our challenge. I cant believe it took so long to take off the 6 pound labor day fiasco weight. I am hoping to make October my Month.

W 64 oz
E extra laps.
E 1200 clean clean cals.
D after work I need to do the dishes and clean down some walls.

Morning all! Still not able to find my groove, but I keep looking!

W 100
E Back to Atkin's Induction, seems to be the only thing that works for me
E Walking to work after I drop my car for some needed service that will cost me too much money. I just had to buy 4 tires last week, so kind of an expensive car week
D If He brings you to it, He'll bring you through it.

Morning girls....eating was ok yesterday, went to IKEA and had a plate of the meatballs. They were ok. Just meatballs. Walked around a lot, hopefully that will have burned some calories. Didn't do much over the weekend, never did get my car in the shop. I'll have to do that tomorrow. Saturday was busy, went to the eye doc in the am, went to a bday party in the afternoon, and then an evening under the stars for our Star Consultant party. It was fun. Hubs took a photo of me with my roses for being #2 consultant there at the party for our unit....and i saw how round i look in my jeans. I almost wanted to cry.

But I'm getting better at eating so that's a plus. Tonight is monday night football...so I'm eating my usual healthy football meal...i think. I have chicken wing drumettes....but i don't have any mushrooms. I guess i can stop by and get some after work.....we need to hit the grocery store but there's no WE in "honey can you pick up this next time you're at the store?" Hubs informed me we were out of spaghetti sauce and parm cheese. Soooo....why did ya tell me? You've got a costco card and a car LOLOL

Grazie :) I"m doing well with MK thanx :) Getting ready for the holiday season....got tons of ideas.

Mavis: I'm thinking about reducing carbs again. I dropped 52 lbs doing atkins, and while I know it would work I can't completely cut out potatoes and bread again. I can however reduce the amount of them I eat. I had lost it all before I ever came to 3fc....i wish you lots of luck my friend!

Jen how you doin?

Shari how's the headache?

Ok girls sorry if I missed anyone, I've gotta go get a face on and get the drumettes out for thawing while I'm at work. Cooking time is less than an hour :)

Hi,

Hope everyone doing well

Mothermavis - love your saying - ''Weight loss is hard, maintaining is hard, being fat is hard, pick your hard.'' -so true..and also like Holyteror think I will limit my carbs too just a bit by not having any in my evening meal

had a good weekend food wise and went gym on sat..goin gym again tonight
How is everyone else doing with exercise? think I will weigh myself this Friday!

what i eat today:

B: Plain Porridge
L: Chicken sweetcorn sandwich and yogurt
D: Beef soup

Yep... I'm home. My little piggy legs are tired of rubbing together and its time to WEED!

Week 1 = 209.6
Week 2 = 209.2
Week 3 = 206.6
Week 4 = 211.2 I think I may have eaten too much, and had too many beers.

My weekend was freakin fantastic though. Just what I needed to rejuvenate. Perfect weather, perfect water temps, perfect company, and the perfect end to summer!

Jen - Here's too October being your month! You deserve it! You are such a committed mommy, wife, and worker. This coming month is definitely gonna be your moment to make the scale shine where you want it to!

Mavie - Get into the groove, scale you've got to prove your love to meeee.... yeah! You have inadvertently placed a song in my head to get me going too! We can do this! Today I am shooting for gettng my water in without fail! I will be grooving (literally) through my chores - gotta get the boat unloaded, washed, clothes washed and house pulled back together today! By the way - I LOVE YOUR "D"!

HolyT - What is Star Consultant? And what are those MK ideas? I am dying to get to IKEA myself. I have a $100 gift certificate from 2 birthdays ago I need to spend!!! The nearest one is about 1.5 hours away and it feels like 5 with Orange County traffic!

So my day is in front of me and I have to make good use of it. Gonna go get a healthy breakfast going and get back on track! OH - and we have a lovely BAT plastered to the front of the suburban. A REAL ONE! He made a bad left turn into our grill on Thursday night and has been hanging there ever since. I'm afraid to touch it... I am just thinking of it as a halloween decoration!

K girls. Be good. I'll check back in tonight! (Good morning to everyone who hasn't gotten here yet!

oops... Ja - I was typing while you were posting.... what is a chicken sweetcorn sammie?

Good morning. I was so busy all last week and I didn't get to check in. Hope all are well.
Unfortunatly, I am STILL at 165. DANG IT! My body likes to be here, but I sure don't. I guess I need to push harder.
Went for a wonderful (and challenging) bike ride yesterday in addition to walking the dog. Planning on a nice run this evening to push me through this VERY LONG plateau.
Good luck to all.

Happy Monday! Just a quick hit to say hi! Busy travel day today. No exercise planned because I doubled up yesterday and still feeling it. Will try to do personals later!

Well I am certainly having a hard time getting into those 170's. I have 2 days left of this month to make some progress, otherwise Sept. will be a bust.

WEEK 1: the week of the Bat: 256.5 Where did that come from??? I was 181.2
WEEK 2: the week of the Ghost: 181.2
WEEK 3: the week of the Vampire: 181.4
WEEK 4: the week of the Jack-o-Lantern: 180.6 okay, so here is a teenie loss.
WEEK 5: the week of Frankenstein:
WEEK 6: the week of the black cat:
WEEK 7: the week of the zombie:
WEEK 8: the week of witch:
WEIGH OUT, Saturday, October 31st...TRICK? OR TREAT?

i have another interview tomorrow and the job sounds excellent. benefits included, so hopefully all goes well.

looks like the weekend was hard on us all. i'm back at 173.6. that pizza and beer really did me in plus havent been sleeping well so haven't had the energy to exercise.

sw: 177
gw: 161

week 1: 174.6 good start
week 2: 176.4
week 3: 173.6
week 4: 171.0
week 5: 173.6 :(
week 6:
week 7:
week 8:

my WEED for the week:
w: 32oz at least
e: 20-25 w.w. points
e: 45 min. cardio; then abs, arms
d: work extra hard this week!

I went to the gym today after work just like I said I would so woohoo! It felt great to be back in there even if I couldn't do as much as usual. I did 25 minutes on the stationary bike, abs, and an hour and 45 minute long ashtanga yoga class. My eating and water intake was much better today too. I don't know exactly what I weigh at the moment and I'm going to wait until next week to weigh in because I don't know how upset I'd be to see just how much damage I did the last week and a half. Hope everyone is doing well! :)

Morning all. Taking babysteps, but made it thru Day 1 BOP with no cheats. I'll take it. Going for 2.

Sounds like we all have lots going on, job interview, kids, cleaning bats off the car, willing our way to the 170's, etc. (Ya'll know I am not good with personals, so there is my todays effort, maybe I can get better every day!)

I am just trying to not dissolve into a blubbering idiot at every turn. Still battling the depression demons, starting to really think I may have to get some assistance to get thru it. We will see. Perhaps getting my eating back on track and getting my growing butt moving will be enough.

W 100
E Move dammit. I have to take my car back to the shop again today (they had to order a part) so will again walk to the office and then back later to get the car. Going to crunch before I get in the shower. We will see what tonight brings. No class so maybe I will hula hoop while I watch tv.
E POP, I can do it!!
D Gotta have faith. If He brings you to it, He will bring you through it!

Morning all. Sorry it's been awhile. My disease has really been filling my head with ugly thoughts, trying to wear me down. It is exhausting me. So I've been going to more meetings, talking to people more, that kind of thing. Not eating right, overeating alternating with not eating at all. I'm hyper-aware that my disease is right here, trying to worm its way back in. But I've told on it now, and that makes it less powerful. If your disease kicks up and starts telling you you aren't worth it, TELL ON IT. If you keep all that inside, it gains momentum. Surround yourselves with positive people.

Interesting though, that I have this disease of alcoholism/addiction, but we can relate the same principles to anything in life. My beloved hairdresser lost her husband last fall, he died suddenly of a heart attack. Her grief process isn't going well for her at all and we have similar conversations about spirituality, internal conflict, etc. I can talk my program and TOTALLY relate it to weight loss and eating. So we don't have to have the same problem to think about the same solution.

I've been struggling lately. I miss you gals. :(

MM~you'll get your groove back. Just keep coming back here. Congrats on making it through your 1st day. You can make it through today too. .

Amy~ Pictures always suck! I hope you enjoyed your monday night football.

Kris~I'm glad you are back. I'm glad you had a good time.

Michelle, :hug: take good care of yourself. I miss you too, but I want you to focus on yourself. I'm glad you are going to meetings, I think finding something to fill in the gap that Rachel and Robert left when they started school will help a lot.

Ja~I'm glad you got in your workout. I got in 20 minutes at the gym Saturday, that is 20 min more than I normally do.

One~good luck on the interview. I hate having trouble sleeping, other than being exhausted all the time it also reaks havoc on the scale.

Grazer~I hope you had a good safe travel day.

Lady~I hate it when my body decides it like the weight it is at. I think I had trouble in the 160's too. I had to readjust my exercise and calories.

Mindy, October will be your month too!

Gypsy~glad you made it back to the gym. I would love to try the yoga class offered at my gym, but It is to late in the evening. (plus I have swimming, gymnastics, runners for the kids).


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sorry about the short personals.

I was totally pumped this morning, what a difference sleeping all night does for you. The scale was down to 140.6. I know that the scale is usually lower on my first day off, but I was suprised. October will definately be my month!!! I can feel it!

It is time for me to get the kiddos up!

W 80 oz
E 35 minutes cardio/25 minutes weights/20 minutes abs and stretching
E 1200 good planned clean cals, not to many carbs.
D Keep thinking "that (fill in the blank) doesn't taste as good as losing that pound feels"~~

Morning girls! Ugh, i see we're all toughing something rough out. Hang in there, it will get better and we have each other to lean on when we need to :)

I'm happy to report i'm down 2 lbs. I've gotta get my ticker set correctly, but I'm down 2, 8 more to go :)

be back later...gotta get to the office.

Hi All,

Hope u all doing well xx

Ladyinflux - good luck with ur exercise keep it up u can beat ur plateau stage it just might take a while

Nixmom - haha love the Bat story hopefully he will stay for halloween lol- my sandwich was made in brown bread with chicken breast and some sweetcorn not too bad for 390 cals

GypsyLove - Good luck with gym

Well Im aching from the gym today - shoulders and backs of arms
Going to the gym again this evening actually looking forward to it am I crazzy?? But I do feel quite positive about losing my extra weight

What I have eaten today:

B: Plain Porridge
L: Chicken Salad Sandwich and Yogurt
D: Beef and Veg Soup with 2 slices of brown bread (I need my bread!!)

Holyteror - Thats great news keep going strong xx

Amy~congrats on the 2 pounds~! Keep up the good work!

Ja~no you aren't crazy I love going to the gym even when I am sore!

Totally awsome day!! Just want to say that. Not only was the scale low (probably going up by friday but it was there) but I ran 3 miles in 30 minutes and twenty seconds. Ok not quite my goal of 3 miles in 30 minutes. but it was dang close. (I didn't interval much today I wanted to see if I could get to my goal. last time I tried it was took 32 minutes. Overall I did 3.28 miles in 35 minutes. OOO by booty is so sore!


On tap for today: laundry, vaccuum, homework, swim lessons. Fun day!

jeni---> congrats! thats awesome.

so, my interview went ok but it seems like they have a high turnover rate. 2 girls are leaving and that would leave me and one other girl who just started on last friday. and it seems like they want someone who is fluent in spanish which i am not. but that wasnt stated in the ad. and the girl who interviewed me was talking like she didnt even want to work there. ok, i went off into a little rant but it's just so frustrating. AND i paid $8 for parking. dam!

:wave: girls!

Quick post:

Week 1: 263.2
Week 2: 265.4
Week 3: 262.8
Week 4: 262.8

Good morning ladies. Two more days then I am off for a week! YAY! I'm supposed to work in Maks class next monday, but I haven't heard from the teacher. I will have to call her on friday.

W 64 oz
E extra laps
E 1200 cals
D Two more days of work.

You go Jeni!! we're taking on a new county this week, so we're VERY caught up on work.....if they sent me home I'd be happy LOL. From what I hear, it was a good thing I was gone last friday, there wasn't anything to do. I came close to my eating goal, so that's better than nothing. Need more water and exercise though....

How are you all doin?

HolyT- I wanna be very caught up! This is my 1st day back at my desk in a week. Vacation days and an all day interview panel killed my last 5 working days. And today I wish they would send me home (I need more sleep!)

I am down to 208 this morning. A great leap from my grand ole 211.2 weigh in on monday morning. Trying to get back to 206 by Sunday. Ugh! But TOM is leaving and will hopefully pack something to take with as it goes!

I have to get to work, will do personals later. Still alive and kicking~

i'm hoping now that TOM is on his way out the door he'll take a couple of lbs with him. What's for dinner tonight? I have NO clue :D

Well here is the dreadful news. For the entire month of Sept. I lost only 1 stinkin pound. I only lost that because I was a little lower today. But, who knows if I'll stay. I'm guessing NOT!!! I am beyond frustrated and don't have a clue what to do. All I can come up with is to keep doing the same thing I've been doing.

Jeni- Good job on your run.

MM- Hang in there. Don't feel bad if you do need some "help". We all do at times in our lives. I've been in your shoes. :^:

hang in there everyone and give it your best shot.

Amy~dinner veggi alfredo. Too much pasta, but what can I do I am cooking on the fly!:)

Kris, Keep the water in and you will be back down in no time!

Mindy~I know how you feel honey. I ended August at an All time low. THEN the 6 pound in four days fiasco. I am finally back down. Maybe its time to mix something up? I'm not sure, just keep at it.


OK made it through today. On the fly, Helping Mak with homework, cooking dinner, and then running to gymnastics. Then home. . .eat. . . .shower. . . .bed. I hate eating right before bed, but not much choice tonight.

Fighting to get in my water!

well, back down to 171. hoping to be 169 or below by saturday. may be going out of town this weekend.....we'll see

going to get my workout on and watch my movie "walk the line". OMG joaquin phoenix....he's so cute

will post again later.....hope everyone is having a good night

:wave: girls!

Jeni ~ I wish I had a week off! That would be so awesome.

Amy ~ I'm thinking chicken something for dinner tonight. What did you decide?

Kris ~ I always need more sleep. :D

Mindy ~ :hug: I wish I had some advice to give you.

OneStar ~ Don't get me started on Joaquin. :drool:

so, my workout was pretty good. it flew by since i was all into the movie, er joaquin....yummy...anyways, i went about 10 min. longer than usual so that was cool. been doing good on staying in my points range.

tomorrow should be fun...i'm gonna be watching my 7 month old neice. it'll be nice for my daughter and her to spend some time together. i'm gonna take them with the mall with me to do a little shopping. so....we'll see. i'm sure i'll make it i just rarely ever have another kid with me when i go places let alone anyone younger than my daughter (2y/o).

Good Morning everyone! October ~can you believe it?? Tommy will be 4 in two weeks.

Shari~the nice thing about my schedule~I am taking one vacation day on Tuesday to get that week off :)

One~I hope you have fun today. Great job on the extra long workout.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well The scale was kind today. it is still saying 141.6. I am very very close to my goal. I don't know if 130 is actually going to happen, but once I hit the 130's I will be happy anyway.

Yesterday I caused some trouble at work so retaliation is in store for me today. Sigh. The other gal in my group caused MORE trouble so maybe it will be okie dokie. (last time I disagreed with my counterpart on nights, she didn't talk to me for about 6 weeks.)

Oh and My aerobics instructor cornered my DH last night before gymnastics (of course I was already in the gym). She wants me to come back to class. So it looks like double the workouts tomorrow. I dont know why I have such trouble getting up to go.

W 64 oz (only ended up with about 50 yesterday)
E extra laps, NO PROBLEM!
E 1200 clean ole' cals.
D Make it through the day with no more causing trouble. Have Fun. Maybe workout before swimming (I doubt it though)

Morning all, I've been having a bear of a time getting on the site!!

Jeni, wtg on the 141, hope work is better than you are expecting.

Mindy, down one is better than up one. It is still down!! Good for you!

Kris, I am with you, I'd like to join HT's caught up group!! Not likely in my world, but I'd like to try it!!

W 100 oz
E Crunches, maybe a walk
E OP
D If He brings you to it, He will bring you through it

Morning gals,

Today is my Friday (we call it Thriday):D and I can't wait to have the weekend here. We are going to see Brad Paisley and Dierks Bentley tomorrow night in San Diego. I am excited, but more excited to get home, relax and not have anywhere to be. Not sure if kids are coming this weekend or not. Part of me wants quiet, part of me hopes they show. We'll see what the ex's allow I guess.

I have to leave for a meeting in a few. I will be back tonight to catch up.

Oh.. down to 207.6 today puusssshhhhing to get back down to 206 by Sunday. I think I can pull it off!

hi everyone! :wave:

woke up to 169.4 on the scale this morning. :bravo: i was so excited and didn't really expect it. weight watchers is working really well for me. why didn't i start this sooner? lol

and all my interviewing has paid off b/c someone called me back today.yes! i got the job and i start tomorrow morning. yep- bright and early at 7:45. so... excited about that, nervous,and kind of worried about the transition process. i think it's gonna take a few weeks for me and my daughter to adjust and get back into a schedule. thank God! it's gonna feel so good to be able to pay my bills again. so relieved!

hope everyone is having a god day! :goodvibes

:balloons:congrats onestar:balloons:

Hello everyone.hope everythings going well with all of you.As you may know I totally screwed up but if it's okay I'd like to try again on this challenge for the rest of the month.Maybe I could loose even 5 lbs??I'm gonna take the advice that was so kindly given and start a food journal.Drink more water and dance,walk or whatever everyday I possibly can.I have to do this!!ttyl

Well I have a game plan. I am keeping my workouts pretty much the same, but trying to fit in a little more strength. I am going to eat a min. of 1500 calories a day. Gonna give this a shot for a while and see what happens.

I have been 179.6 for 2 days now. Tomorrow is weigh-in at home. Guess I'll know soon enough. I am hoping to be even just a tad lower. PLEASE??

nixmom- thanks. that was really nice! i'll let ya'll kow how my first day went.

so, my mom was nice enough to lend me her credit card so i could get my baby some new shoes and me a shirt (not for work, i wear scrubs to work) but b/c i have NO clothes that fit me anymore....i'm not complaining about that :D but i'm so broke i cant afford to buy. so, she let me charge one and i bought two more someplace else. so, that was fun. i actually went into the mall and bought something and didnt feel depressed. i can see that slowly i am becoming the person i want to be and deserve to be. ahhh, retail therapy. my dd had a blast too in the play area.

well, better get ready for tomorrow. i should be sleeping already but i'm kinda hyped up.

happy friday! (in advance) lol

Well Done OneStar - keep up the good work and good luck in job xx

I havent been updating this for a couple days now-I have been eating healthily according to plan and working out. I hopped on the scales this morn..It read 132lbs - I have lost 4lbs in a week I am delighted its really encouraging I dont want to fail now. I know my weight loss will slow down in the next week or so but im going to keep the hard work up

What I will eat today:

B: Plain Porridge
L: Chicken Sandwich and Yogurt
D: Beef & Veg Soup with Brown Bread

Morning ladies!
Yesterday was horrendous.....scale still shows the 2 lb loss but i really need to control my food better. Since we took on a new county (I work for a non-profit county medical program) as of yesterday the company's been celebrating all week. Yesterday they fed us breakfast. All cold stuff, oh dang i just realized my yogurt's still in my bag. Today they're having a bbq for lunch. Tonight I guess I'll hit the commissary and get some more canned and other staples to cook more this weekend.

For my other stuff, we're doing a 50% off on starting business. I'm hoping to get a few new team members by the end of the month. I was really excited about that, then i get to my regular job and got really bummed. Who knows, maybe they'll let me leave early today. I doubt it though. Even though I left early (had rehearsal earlier at my house) with my 8 hrs for the day completed, the rest of my coworkers were gone 15 minutes before me. And they wonder why I'm grumpy....*hmph*

Ok on to good stuff:
w: 64 oz at least, but *should* be kicking it to about 110 oz.
e: tonight i'll spend time @ the grocery, that plus lifting and unloading will help. Maybe some workout on my bean and some resistance training tonight..
e: I'll try to do better today. stinking bbq *sighs*
d: be happy it's Friday. And that I have possible team members on the way :)

Hello to everyone!!
I have had such a busy week. Another interview, my daughter has been sick so I have been over there each day to care for Nathan her 4 year old. I haven't been at home much.
Before I go any further - one - congrats!!!! on job, weight loss and good attitude. I know what you mean by the transition - one day at a time will make it easier.
I haven't heard about a position yet but I did interview for another one and the interview went great. I probably won't hear till next week at the earliest.

I have gotten much exercise this week and this being weigh in day I lost 1.8 lbs. :) That's a good feeling. I still need to write things down, and work on my eating. My portions are down but I'm still snacking a bit too much.
Enjoy the day. sue

W - 32 oz
e - walk 20 minutes
e - write everything down
d - do some housework!!!!

I just want to see if my signature and ticker transfer.

MM~ :hug: How are you doing? I'll be thinking about you while I am doing my MMunches tonight.

Onestar! Congrats on the weight loss and the new job. I very rarely buy myself new clothes.

Ja~congrats on the weight loss.

Summer~I'm glad you are back. I have been thinking about you. Just come back and post you are always welcome!

Kris, I hope you have fun in San Diego!

Mindy~I hope the change will work out for you.

Amy~can you take your own bbq with you? or instead of buns and bread make whatever into a ymmy salad.

Michelle~ I hope you are doing ok. I am missing you very much.

Well the scale was very kind this morning. It was at 140.6 :carrot:. I hope I can maintain it through the weekend to Mondays w/i. I am getting ready to go to the gym.

W 80 oz
E 35 minutes of cardio/25 minutes of weights/20 abs and stretching
E 1200 clean planned calories
D ask my mom to babysit this weekend.


Hi sue, you and I posted at the same time. Congrats on the loss! my fingers are crossed for that job!

Greetings from the girl who got 10 hours sleep last night! WHAT! My body is stiff from it, but the scale is glad I did!

I bout a new outfit last night at old navy. Spent too much $ but I needed a pair of pants. I swore I wouldnt by any more 16's, but I had to give in. Dangit.

I really wanna do personals but I gottta get moving. Have some errands to run before we go... other wise everyone will be "waitin on a woman"!

Be good and I'll check in tomorrow.

Kris~congrats on the sleep!

Guess what!!!!! NSV!!! 3 miles in 29:42 :carrot: Yay! I am so happy! I don't even think seeing the scale at an all time low made me feel this good!! after Tuesday I knew I could do it, but I shaved 38 seconds off that time :) ok just had to share. Off to shop for school coats.

Woo hoo Jeni, you rock!!

Jeni- YAY!!! Great time. That is my goal too.....eventually. I need to shave off 6 min. though. SOmeday.

Nix- Sleep. Good for you. I have been waking up a lot lately. Mind is full of stuff. Enjoy that new outfit. Who cares what size it is. It looks good, right??

One- New clothes always make a person happier. Good for you. I bought a shirt, nightie (sexy) and new coat today. My old coats were way too big.

JA- Good job on the loss.

HT- Good luck with the business.

Water- Good luck on that job hunt.

I finally saw a new low today. I had seen 179.6 several times, but today I saw 179.2 Not much, but still. Can I dare hope for 178???

Congrats Mindy on your new low!

The scale wasn't as nice to me today. I had spaghetti for dinner, then a couple of drinks so It wasn't a suprise.

Today I am heading to workout in about an hour, then it is DH's turn. I think my kids are having a sleepover with their grandma tonight (I need a sitter for the day and I am guessing they will ask her.) I don't mind.

OK I gotta go. .
W 64 oz
E60 minutes
E 1500 cals (I know it will happen I will be out of town today, I will just make the best choices i can)
D make good choices.

i have been not sleeping very well and drinking way too much lately and it is showiing in several ways. first off the scale, second i am so tired. i know with this new job it will have to stop and i'm ok with that. i'm looking forward to it actually. cleaning my house top to bottom today and cooking dinner for a special someone. have a great weekend ladies!

Ladies, all I can say is YAY!!!! 178.4 Today!!! With TOM fast approaching I am just hoping to hold as steady as possible. I am keeping my workouts steady and insisting on those 1500 calories a day. Hope this is working.

Mindy!!!! YAY!!! I am so happy for you! :woohoo:

One~you will get back to a good schedule.

Well the kids did have a sleepover with grandma so I had a few more drinks last night, plus a movie with popcorn and nachos for dinner. :) Today I have to guzzle the water to get the sodium out of my system. I doubt I will get in a workout today, we have Tae kwon do and then we will swim with the kids.

W 100 oz
E maybe a walk
E 1200 clean cals clean out the sodium
D house work

Well girls – its looks like it was a successful week for all of us in one way or another. Lbs lost, jobs and interviews going strong, and even just getting here to post is a victory!

I had a good time at the concert. Didn’t get home until really late and that jacked up my sleep pattern, which jacked up my clean house Saturday for me day Sunday plan. But I did peel off my 5lbs from river weekend. Back down to 206.6 this morning!

Mindy – BOOYAA on the scale missy! Good for you. It’s a process, just like everything else in life. One decision at a time. One day at a time. Don’t let things rent space in your head, that real estate is too valuable to give up for cheap!

Ja – 4 lbs is fantastic. I still say I want your abs!

Jen – nothing like a little adult time to remind you that you have a (albeit tiny somethimes) life outside of kids, work, and working out! Cheers!

Waterlilli – here’s to a healthy child and great job offer! I’m praying for both for ya!

Mavie, Grazie, Nchellie, One, Sunny, Holyt (nice hot dog pic on FB!), and all you other girls popping in. You are all on my mind, every time I put food on my plate, or step on that scale, I remember that there we are, all over the planet… fighting this fight together. Stay srong!!!!!!

Off to get a Sunday paper, and then back home to clean, read, and mayber get a craft project going. I am dying to be creative! Have a great Sunday all!

:wave: girls!

:grouphug: WOOOT for all our new lows and jobs!

I'm up this WI. It's totally my fault and I accept that. This week will be better! I restarted my SparkPeople account today and I plan on going to the gym at least 3x this week. I start training for my new job tomorrow! Wish me luck girls, the whole at home thing is new territory for me and I'm a little nervous. :^:

Good morning everyone! :flow2:

It's a new day and I have had such a hard time with snacking I am reconfirming for today only to have one snack tonight and live with the anxiety. I have 6 grandsons and my daughter is having a girl in January so I am knitting sweaters and will stay busy with that while watching TV.

So my weed --

W - 32 oz
E - no snack tonight unless it's healthy
E - walk mile on track
D - Don't let anxiety get to me. Think of positives of not snacking at night.

Hope to be back later. Sue
