bbg200~ Glad to hear Mia is doing well!!! Don't worry about trying to keep up with everyone, letting us know how you are doing is what is important!
ellie6388~ Everything okay? Glad to hear you love C25K so much!
Long night tonight. There's a new hostess at the restaurant who still doesn't have everyone's sections down, so instead of letting me off when she should have, she seated me 3 times in a row. She thought she was seating the girl who was closing. I was just a lil annoyed. Plus all three tables tipped like crap, so it wasn't even worth it.
Plan is to watch some TV, then crash. Almost to Friday!!!
WOW! Quiet day!!! How is everyone holding up? Holiday weekend for those of us in the states, how does everyone plan on staying OP over the weekend?
I'm working most of the weekend, so it won't be too hard to stick with it. I'm not sure if I have to work Monday or not, if not, then it's a BBQ at my sisters, which I plan on bringing as much of my own food to as I can... and saving some bonus points for the occasional bite or two I may take of the evil food.
Hi Guys.. Just thought I'd quickly pop in as I've missed a few days. How is everyone going with the lead up to weigh in? I'm a little bit jealous of the long weekend in the US. I think I could really use an extra day off myself. The weather is horrible here at the moment. We're due for rain all weekend so it looks like I'll be having a relaxing few days indoors. I had hoped to get out and walk along the beach but unless things drastically change, I don't think that's going to happen.
Just curious, what kinds of foods do you all normally take as the healthy options for BBQ's? Do you make a big salad or do you have a go-to dish of some sort?
KimL1214 - Have you had to work with the new hostess since she stuffed up the seating? How's that going?
ok thank you ..
i have abit of a dilema!.. my mom gave me some bathroom scales yesterday as she didnt want them anymore, they are digital so i thought id check them out this morning an it said i am 184lb im like wow! ive lost 4pounds... with disbelief i check "my" bathroom scales (there mechanical) and they say im 186/185lb .. then... i think hmm ok ill have a check on the wii scales... an they also say im 186lb .. i really want to believe the ones that gave me a smaller reading but my head says be realistic an believe the ones i got the same-ish reading from.. what would u do?? x
bbg200 - I think it's best if you stick with using just the one set of scales otherwise it will do your head in trying to figure out which number is 'right'. If you plan on using the digital scales as your everyday scales then just take the smaller figure it gave you and work from that from here on out. The older scales are probably the better representation of what you lost for this week though.
I kinda fell off the wagon yesterday, went to a japanese restaurant, eat a big portion of calories, but was planning on a smallish dinner- subway was the original plan but then that ended up getting nixed so I had a lean cuisine pizza, and made some SF jello.
Binge Warning!
BUT then my mom came home and we went over to the neighbors... started off with a homemade fresh mango daquiri, then I made my 2 y.o a plate hotdog, bun, tiny bits of potato salad, broccoli slaw, pasta salad, maybe 2 tb of each, and he wouldn't eat so guess who did... ME. finished off with another mango daquiri, came home and ate the 2 homemade cupcakes that I really wanted but if I had been good was going to avoid... topped off with some gummy bears...
I am very sorry I my #'s in the wi suck. I'm trying not to be too hard on myself, it's one day... move on. I'm back on track today, planning on running at some point but not feeling very motivated.
Hey Ellie I did kinda the same thing.. We went to P.F Changs for my Dads birthday.. luckily I had a long bike ride before we went so I didn't gain! YAY but I'm 198.6 today and my start was 199.0... So I'm hoping a good workout at the gym today will be good.. LAST CHANCE WORKOUT!
Okay I am back from the gym! Week 4 Day 2 on c25k, 32 minutes, 16 of which are runs!! I really can't believe I am doing this well! I lifted too for the first time at this gym, I did some upper body.
Yesterday before my binge I did walk for 45min. in the morning and finished level 2 on 30 day shred.
In the past 27 days I have worked out 25 of them, I think it's making me hold some water so hopefully I will have a big weight drop soon.
peanut thanks for replying, ive been thinking about it i might just stick with the higher readings as ive had 2 of the same on different things (dont really like weighin on the wii but i wanted to find out wich one was right) or the reading in between?.. as 185?
p.s just found out that the wii will read it to the nearest 10.. so say if it read 185.4 on the digi scales it would read 186 on the wii as a rounded off number..
think ill stick with my new digi ones as the macan ones keep moving up and down a notch..
Hi folks! Just checking in. It's not officially weigh day yet but I saw a 185 on the scale today! WHHAAAT. We'll see what it says tomorrow.
Going to see Adam Lambert tonight! With my Grandma (She loves him, she bought the tickets lol) my aunt and a friend. Should be a good time.
Tomorrow is our annual family fish fry. So I am planning to not be on plan ... eek. One day though ... then no family gatherings until Thanksgiving lol.
JessicaRT~ Did you end up getting your workout in?
BassAckwards~ 185 CONGRATS!!!
ellie6388~ Great job keeping up with working out!!! You're doing AMAZING! Great job getting back on track! Everyone slips, the most important thing is to not let it become a downward spiral, and getting back on track today was the best thing you could do!
bbg200~ I prefer digital scales, so I would go with the new one, but it's up to you.
oOPeanutOo~ Haha, if it makes you feel any better, I have to work the whole weekend. How was the weather today? Did you get some relaxation in? Funny twist, the new hostess had to waitress tonight and ended up getting screwed by one of the older hostesses a few times... kinda funny...
My original plan had been to get in another good walk before I head to work tomorrow, but I'm thinking with how my feet feel right now, it's probably not a good idea. Especially since I will be working between 9-10 hours at the restaurant... my feet will probably feel like they're going to fall off.
I was really annoyed with my parents last night. I spent an hour cutting up veggies and prepping pizza dough to make homemade pizzas... and they didn't like it. They didn't like the pizza because it was made with a whole wheat crust, which I might add, I thought was delicious. They keep pushing all this healthier stuff and watch my constantly to see if I slip up, but they aren't willing to make the healthy switches themselves. UGH.
Seen some good numbers the last couple days, so I'm hoping to see another one tomorrow morning for our official weigh in.
Don't forget to weigh in before midnight tomorrow!!!
I kinda got my workout in.. I ended up going to the Duck game!! Oregon vs. New Mexico.. 72-0!!! WOOOOO anyways I had to walk back to where ever my boyfriend picked us up away from all the crowds.. about a mile probably..
Since I didn't go to the gym I did a mini bike ride before it got to dark.. Since its already late I was a little munchie so i had a small low cal snack and it was yummy!!
green beans, cream of mushroom soup and the onion crispy things... the fried onions.. I had a small bowl so im guessing it was about 200 cals.. dinner I had a lean cuisine mushroom pizza and lunch was Subway.. and breakfast was an omelet! I think I did good... I'm betting Ill be down to 197 making a 2lb loss... I cant wait to weigh in tomorrow morning!!
according to my new scales i have lost 3.6lb YAY!.. 1st big loss in ages! i really wanna get out of the 180s, been stuck between 182 an 188 for 4months!!... good luck everyone with you weigh in!
