DayDreamer I like that (blanket burrito) Your dog sounds like my daughter and her husbands new kitty. She is a ball of energy On being out of shape ... you are making steady progress. Just do the same thing everyday for the same amount of time and watch your speed and time increase. Mine sure did. I remember going out with my kids when I first started my journey in 2010 and I wasn't outside moving for 20 minutes before starting to feel like my heart was coming out of my chest. I had to go sit down. But I kept trying and my efforts paid off. I still can't run for longer than a minute not sure why. I was gonna give it a shot today but I didn't want to kill my knees knowing that I have to go to work tonight (3am) and be on my feet for 8 hours or more. We'll get there trust me and we can do it together oh I hate to exercise but I love the treadmill with my music Oh re: warm sheets, I have some Jersey sheets that made me hot after awhile, they are worth a try
ap14, sorry to hear your room is so cold at night. I like my room cold when I sleep so I turn the heat down but have to turn it back up as soon as start moving around. Maybe some nice thick flannels or those new onesies will help, just a thought. Hope you get some energy and find a way to get warmer Good job on the 3lbs GONE. Can't wait to hear what your week total is
Thank you! I got up and slept with socks on and thick furry PJ pants. I have a mattress heater that I'm going to put on tonight. I love my room cold, but there comes a point where it's way too cold (even for me)!

We have a duvet (they can be pricey but I love the thing, bought it half off) and we HATED going ot bed with FROZEN sheets so we got 2 king size blankets and we put one under us and one on top.
So pretty much this: fitted sheet, blanket, US, blanket, sheet, duvet, comforter. Maybe you can see about doing something like that? The blankets were pretty cheap, $15 each (Fred Meyer). Hope that gives you an idea/helps?
I had a great down comforter that I used in the winter...until the dog bit a hole in it. I have one of those Duraflame heaters, but I opted for the cheaper no remote version. So I have to get up and turn it off...grrr.
That's pretty much how I sleep at night LOL I pack myself in pretty tight under about 4-5 blankets. Our house is strange though. We have AC/heat through the entire house, but the upstairs (my room) doesn't get the AC/heat pushed through enough. It stinks, but it's really nice in the summer since I get my own AC window unit and can make it as cold as I want!
Hi everyone. We had not one, but two cakes at work today. One with the goodbye lunch I spoke of, and another for one of the research coordinators who is also leaving at the end of the week. I stuck to my plan and skipped both cakes. Let me tell you, that Cake Boss, "It's da Bomb" cake looked and smelled fabulous. I'm going home and having spaghetti that my husband made. I had him email me his recipe, and I put it into Myfittnesspal and the program figured out hom many calories and the nutritional information for me. Now, I can enjoy it with out any guilt.
For those of you in the ultra cold, keep warm. Our recent cold snap finally left. Now we are just waiting for the next one. Oh, and I would love to have a window AC in my room. We had a new AC put in this summer, and new windows this fall. Maybe that will make a difference, but our room is over the unheated garage, and it has very little insulation. I hate sleeping in a hot room. Even in the winter we have three fan going.

Hope the soreness goes away.
I feel good about my choices yesterday. Two more days til weigh in on the challenge thread. Have a great day everyone
love2b150 yay on doing something you don't like for health. 1 hour is a really good for your first go.
ap14 sweet that nutrisystem is working out so well for you.
Imthegoddess your will power must be out of this world. Way2be.
Congrats on the weightloss and maintenance my peeps. Fabulous!
Well, I got on the scale. Up 3.5 lbs, what and no way are what I'm thinking. I know my calorie count doesn't equate to that gain, so water weight it's the only logical. I have kidney disease so that can go up fairly easy. Never give up, right. hit the gym last night and burned an even 700cal. Gonna eat some healthy stuff and hit it again. This too shall pass. Next weigh in Sunday.

ap14, hope you slept better last night. =/
Thank you, I did! I cranked up the space heater about 10mins before I went to bed and it was warm. Yay!
Well...week 1 of nutrisystem is in the books. The name fast 5 didn't lie!
Here's my info:
1/6: 238.8
1/13: 233.8 (literally right on the money)
Great NSV on the cakes imthegoddess Are we friends on MFP? Do you eat spaghetti noodles or spaghetti squash? I hate to sleep in a hot room also. My husband on the other hand could sleep at 100 degrees, drives me nuts I'm hoping for a great weigh in on Friday also
Volatis nice drop GO YOU
Joe, hoping for a nice drop tomorrow
Kukkie good job on the 1.2lbs GONE
Trina Thanks, it's supposed to update automatically when I weigh. We shall see
DayDreamer sorry about the up. You could be retaining water from the walk also, it may not be the calories, just saying. I didn't go walking today for the same reason plus I need to nap before church, but I will tomorrow for sure, no excuses. I only had inclines on the treadmill though, good for you on the hills
Thanks I am powerful Nope you can't gain that much weight overnight so definitely water. I love your positive attitude, GO YOU
ap14 on 5lbs GONE now onto the next five
I'm down .7 to 167.4 I hope I can keep this going. I would love to see 165 by next week
Your dog sounds like my daughter and her husbands new kitty. She is a ball of energy 
oh I hate to exercise but I love the treadmill with my music 
Can't wait to hear what your week total is 
I'm down 0.8.
I hope everyone is having a great on plan week. This week seems to be flying by. Nothing new on my end just exercising everyday and sticking to plan as much as possible.
