Angie!!! We are doing it! We are getting back to what we know works! I'm working on my meal planning again too. How's that for you? I remember things being so much easier when I knew what the plan for the day was, ya know? We WILL get back there again!
Rennie: You're doing great! We're taking it one day at a time! I'm with ya!
In weight news, I am down a pound this morning to 195.6. Got a great workout in yesterday! 45 mins on the elliptical. It was amazing! I love the incline on that thing!!! I am going back for more tonight! I also just made my FIRST personal trainer appointment for tomorrow at 430pm with Trainer Steve! I'm very excited!
Yesterday was good. Today, I plan on doing it again!
Good morning all. I got highlights in my hair yesterday. They are pretty liiiight. I guess I wanted to look different is all, because I'm feeling like a new woman. Everyone have an amazing day

Just want you all to know I am going to drink to bottles of water and try to hold out on eating lunch until 1pm ...
Thanks Diana, I'm trying ... well thank goodness for no gain today I picked up the Cold-Eeze, thanks
Sam staying the same is good Glad TOM left he baggage where ever he was hanging out
Thanks Ona the body is so weird, smh. Some gains happen at the craziest times, but I am sure it will be gone tomorrow
Thanks Vixsin, Good job on the pound down Can't wait to hear what you think of the trainer. I have my meals planned out on MFP today also. So far so good but I do worry when it's so early in the day.
I like this ---> Yesterday was good. Today, I plan on doing it again! and I'm gonna do my best to stay right with ya
The exercise plan has changed for today. Instead of going to the gym, I need to go home and finish cleaning. That way, I can have some quality time with Maxwell and not have the cleaning hanging over my head! I'll be running up and down stairs and scrubbing, so I'll still be burning calories!!!
Well the pizza wasn't as mean to me as I expected. Yesterday I was up .6 to 156.8. Today I am down 2 to 154.8. It's still not good here, so I make no promises for tomorrow. I've also discovered that I am apparently going to start having fever as a PMS symptom - how lovely! I was also almost killed last night. There was a guy that I am fairly certain had a gun and he kept looking at me, so I told the friend I was with that we needed to go to the car. We went to my car since it was closest and the guy started checking out my friend's car - walking a circle around it. Then he walked over to my car and was playing with the hem of his shirt, like he was thinking of pulling the gun. I'm not sure whether he wanted me, one of our cars (both pretty theft worthy vehicles - an orange limited edition dodge charger and a black camaro), or some combination. He got about 6 inches from my car and was just staring at me before I managed to get it started and in gear and back out of the spot. I drove in a circle around the lot until he went far enough away from my friend's car that I felt I could let him out of my car to get into his and then we drove away. I'm pretty sure that I'm alive and unharmed only because the guy is maybe new to the thug life and still nervous. My life is just too much fun right now!
Lori - I have no doubt that you will eventually be able to do the parts that you can't do right now as long as you don't give up. Yesterday we did a song during zumba that we haven't done in forever and it was so much easier to do than it used to be and I discovered that while standing all the way up I can lift my knee high enough to touch my opposite elbow - something I could have never done before. Congrats on Onederland
Ona - Sounds like a fabulous weekend!
aka - Congrats on being 25 down!
Diana - I don't understand exactly how sodium works sometimes either. I should have had more of a gain from the pizza. The human body is strange.
Vixsin - I'm so excited for you to get to spend some time with a trainer. I can't afford to have one all the time, but I had one for a while just to learn about weights and things so that I wouldn't hurt myself. It was awesome.
I'm still here, still sick, still maintaining. We have our first ultrasound on Friday, I'm pretty excited. It's too early to tell the gender, but seeing the heartbeat and watching the little bean jump around makes it all way more real to me.
Roxy - I'm praying for you and DH. I don't have any words of wisdom, but lots of hugs and prayers.
I'm down another 3lbs today to 205.8 ...today was so busy at work that there was definitely not a moment where I had time to think about eating anything off plan. I came home and there was pizza for dinner -- cheese pizza to which my mom and Cameron had added chicken and red/yellow peppers -- 1 had 2.5 small square slices. I estimated that it was the equivalent of 1.5 regular slices of pizza. Here is my report card for today:
Calories 1134 Excellent
Carbs 145 High (I aim for less than 100)
Sodium 1596 Excellent
Fiber 22g Good
Protein 74.5 Good
Diana -- Thanks I think today was good -- the pizza threw me off, but my numbers are still pretty great overall. Once I get back on pace for everything else I'll work harder on keeping my carbs lower again. I agree, I think we are more susceptible to sodium at different times in our cycles.
Amanda -- Congratulations on your 25lbs lost!! What type of charm are you getting? Please post a pic of your new highlights -- I loved getting my haircut and getting a new look a few months ago too, I went much shorter and it feels great. I always feel pampered when I get my hair done, it's a great pick me up.
Rennie -- You had a great day yesterday, congratulations!! Here's your carrot Take care of that cold -- lots of fluids for you Missy. Way to go on your 1.8 today!! Hey, I'm behind, any wedding plans made yet for your DD?
Aimee
Crainjo Are you doing something differently lately?
Kukkie -- Sorry about the gain
Sam -- Maybe TOM is what has been messing with you. I remember you were trying to move a bit lower but your body wasn't cooperating; I wonder if your body is going through some bigger changes that are impacting your efforts there?
Ona -- Thanks! Yeah, I'm trying to see the last 2 weeks as a little stumble along the way-- and to not let it define me or make me feel like a failure. If anything I should be defined by the other 18 months of this journey -- I'll take a label like 'steady', 'committed', or 'tenacious' any day
Vixsin -- Congratulations on your 1lb today!! Yes, I agree, food journaling and planning is key for me. Needless to say when I was off track I was not writing things down. I must keep in mind that for the long term tracking my food will be important for me. Good luck with your trainer appt tomorrow -- can't wait to hear more about it.
Roxy -- Wow that sounds like a scary experience. I wonder if that guy caused trouble for anyone else last night; hopefully not. Sorry things are not improving at home. Could DH be having some sort of pre-adoption freak out -- like a reaction to the impending responsibility of a big family? I don't suppose that would explain the mistrustful behaviour, but maybe the irresponsibility?
I messed up so badly this evening it a SHAME, I ruined a perfect day with my lack of self control ... I hope I get it right tomorrow
Roxy I'm glad you and your friend are ok, just freaked out, I'd report it though . Good job on the 2lbs down You don't have to say anything they should be able to locate your phone via satellite. I want to do that knee to elbow
Gale I'm sorry you still aren't feeling well ultrasounds are great, with my last I had to have an ultrasound and stress test every two weeks because of my age and gestational diabetes, can't wait to hear about yours
Amanda we posted at the same time (love this) ---> I guess I wanted to look different is all, because I'm feeling like a new woman. I'll bet they look great. I can't wait to see a picture
Diana I am slightly congested, still trying to clear my throat and the left side of my mouth is swollen for some reason. I rubbed a BC around the area for pain. Hope it last through the night. Thanks for asking Rest well my friend
MY HUSBAND IS HAVING ONE OF THOSE SNORING EPISODES ON THE SOFA ... when he snores like that out of the blue I wonder what on earth did he do at work to exert himself so ....
Thanks Angie, You go Lady, another 3lbs Your report card looks great. Wanna see mine, you can give me a good swift kick, I need it ... my calories before pizza and hot dogs and baked beans was 1444. I thought way to go great but my Mom's husband came with pizza and today was the first day of wrestling practice so I made baked beans and hot dogs for the family something quick is what I was thinking. I had two little girls over to watch Cars 2 and had Boy Scouts drop off and pick up also. .... my UGLY report card
calories 2698, carbs 297, protein 180, sodium 3728
I'm not quite sure where my issue is. It must be pending TTOM. I don't normally hold onto water weight for this long. I even had another gain this morning. Oh well. My calories are good. All I can do is feed and exercise my body. The rest is up to my body. It must need to hold onto water for some reason. I may as well not take it personally.
I am down .8 to 154. That could be a somewhat false loss though, I only had 831 calories yesterday, so if I manage to eat normal today the scale may go back up some.
Angie - I don't think that it is about the adoption. It seems to have been building slowly. It could be some sort of midlife crisis I suppose. Friday was his 40th.
Rennie - We reported the guy to a cop, but the cop just talked to him and then let him walk away - we were watching from a farther away parking lot.
I don't know what the heck my weight is today. The scale started at 198.4 and went up everytime I stepped on it... I think I'll buy a new one on the weekend. I'm sure hubby is not going to appreciate that. He's been eating well all week, and is apparently down 7 lbs in 6 days. He's not going to understand the need for a new scale TOM has also not yet arrived, but I have all the symptoms, and I think I may be making myself nuts about it.
WI @ 168.2..had a good eating and exercising day yesterday and this morning,rested well...did snack on more than usual SF Icebreaks last night.Maybe that's why 
did lay down right after a big breakfast yesterday(which i know was wrong) but that's why I exercised last night...whatever,today is a new day 
Thanks you
