Ok , so school is over and I have my first full ime job ever and the transition has been a little hard on me, Im on the computer all day at work(websensed of course) and by time I get home , I dont want to touch a computer! MAY jus flew right by me, with school, and preparing for graduation.
AS far as my diet goes, I have not been wqrking out but my eating has been very decent I've been lingering between 210 -212lbs so , I havent gained any weight which is good. I really need to start back walk atleast 4 times a week to start the lbs coming off again.
I see some new faces! Im sure everyone is doing well
My weekend was nice, the week is starting out not so much though. I'm sick! My throat was a little sore yesterday, but when I woke up this morning it was full blown, sinuses are draining, aches all over. Not happy. I was planning on hitting exercise hard this week to make it a good one before we leave for vacation Friday, but that's not happening today. I just want to go back to bed. I might just do that this afternoon after I get my daughter on the bus. =P It's obviously made me grumpy.
Lisa - We missed you and I'm glad you were able to maintain your weight. Hopefully, you'll settle into your new routine soon.
Kim - I hope you feel better! Take it easy so that you'll be better before you go on vacation.
Emme - I'm with 'ya on getting back on track. I had a rough weekend - I just couldn't control the snacking. I ate way too many baked Cheetos (a whole bag between Fri-Sun) & too 100 cal cookies. I did exceptional with the working out and I think that's what prevented me from gaining weight. I want/need to lose and not maintain right now. This week I am going to work extra hard to make it to 216. This morning I was 219.
GettinFit ~ We should definitely do an OP weekend challenge this weekend. If I feel snacky or feel a bad craving coming on during the weekend, then I am going to hop on this thread and let you all know that way it will be my way of working through it!
Exercise this weekend went well. Swam at the lake with the kids for an hour yesterday and 20 minutes of the bike Saturday. Calories were a little high. Our oldest daughter's 8th birthday was Sunday, so there was pizza and frozen yogurt at Yogurt Mountain. An improvement this week has been that I'm eating smaller amounts more often during the day and my snacks consist of nuts rather than swiss cake rolls
Mandy: I love your dress! You look so happy and beautiful
So I have been out of the game for a little while recovering from a cold (a cold in the spring/summer - ick!), which means that I was absolutely not OP - a couple of days I ate way too much and couple days I barely ate but drank tons of water. I feel so much better now, and so I am back OP today!
Mandy - I'm late on a response but CONGRATULATIONS and thank you for sharing your wedding photo. Gorgeous!
I was just going over old posts - Congrats to EVERYONE for their successes!! I also see that there's a couple of you doing 30 Day Shred - I've done it and once I'm done with the Insanity Challenge I'm going to give that DVD another go. Jillian is CRAZY but gets great results!!
Tricia - Glad you're feeling better and are getting over your cold. I may join you on the 30 Day Shred challenge. I've had this DVD for about 2 years and have never taken it out of the shrink wrap. I have so many DVDs and just haven't gotten around to that one. Lately I've been stuck on the Firm.
I hope everyone else is having a great day so far.
I'm just trying to deal with this extreme heat down here in GA. It went from being cold to hot. Whatever happened to the spring temps???? I am going to try and keep my points really low today in hopes of forcing a woosh I am so ready to get below 218-219.
Hubby and I had a nice weekend. Best news is Hubby fixed the drain problem! We also bought a new printer/scanner. The old one worked fine but was just a printer, however the new computer thought the old printer was too old! Hubby spent what time we spent at home yesterday on the computer trying to hook it up and learn how to work it, we've never had a scanner before but I'm looking forwatd to that and being able to make copies at home. We did a lot of shopping and running around yesterday, including going to Lowe's twice for supplies for Hubby's next project, replacing the outside faucets; he's on a roll. He also cleaned out the condenser coils of the outside AC box and the AC works much better now. It was struggling before.
My varigated hostas are blooming, as are my yarrow and we have little grape sized tomatos! Bad news my butterfly bush died.
My eating has been up and down. Some days I'm good then the next I splurge more than I should. I guess I feel even if I eat on plan I'm not going to lose weight so why not splurge. Not a great attitude I'm just so tired of not losing lbs.
Tricia, hope you are feeling better.
Michelle, good job on your eating.
Mandy, you two look so happy! Thanks for posting.
Gettin, around here we like to joke that spring only lasts two weeks long and it rains the whole time so we don't notice it until its over.
Had a very long car drive yesterday (left at 5:45pm, arrived 2:45am), but it was enjoyable. We've been listening to a fascinating audiobook.
I'm going to try to be OP while out of town. I know my aunt (with whom we're staying) has been doing South Beach, so hopefully eating healthy won't be too much of an issue (though staying high protein might be difficult). I also am going to try to get my workouts in. I brought 30 Day Shred with me, and a bunch of resistance band workouts that I'm excited to try out for the first time today, but c25k? My aunt lives on a huge hill (no joke) and I'm not sure I'm ready for hill runs yet. We'll see.
yster crackers (1pt) 100 cal almonds (2pts)
I am so ready to get below 218-219.
