Weekly Chat July 23 - 29

  • Hey Everyone. How did everyone do this weekend?

    Mine wasn't bad. I did fairly well at eating this weekend which is good considering Friday I went to the Rascall Flatt concert (although I drank a little more then I planned), Saturday I did well with the 2 bbqs I went to. I didn't get drunk like everyone else so no empty calories there. Sunday I went to a wedding shower. They didn't have much healthy food so I just didn't eat much. I had a lot of fruit salad and one small piece of desert .

    This week is an easy week for me. I'm mainly packing up my apartment so nothing big.
  • My weekends are always bad as far as eating goes, because Saturday is my "cheat day" on my plan. However, I think I am going to eliminate cheat day from my week and just have one cheat meal. After eating healthy all week, I just feel too gross after a full day of not counting calories and eating crap!
  • Mine was mixed... Saturday daytime I barely ate because I was too wrapped up in Harry Potter... then we went out to the Steve Nash fundraiser and I ate wayyyy too much junk. Sunday was more moderate, though, so not a total scratch of a weekend!

    This week will hopefully be better for me - I'm feeling re-focused after a very relaxed weekend.

    RememberHowtoSmile - good luck with moving!
  • Well I don't know any of you but I thought I should just jump right on in, if that's okay!

    This was my first week on my new weight-loss journey. I have gone through this several times before, but this is going to be my year! The year I shed all those unnecessary pounds.

    I've been going pretty good so far! Today I had about 1500 calories, none of them empty calories. I also jogged on the treadmill for 20 minutes, ldid arm curls, and did DDR for about a half hour.

    Iill needs tons of motivation from you all, because it's so easy to get started but so hard to stick with it!
  • Where is everyone this week?

    Ohhkay8 - welcome to the forum. Everyone here is great.

    I haven't done much this week. So I'm trying to figure out a guy. Last Saturday my sisters threw a bon fire. So I was talking to this guy I've known for awhile (he is my sister's boyfriends best friend and I've actually known them forever but he and I really started talking maybe a month ago and realizing we had a lot in common) and he was appalled that I hadn't seen the movie "big labowski" so we decided to get together on Wednesday and watch the movie and watch Top Chef (we both love Top Chef). So he called and drove over to my apartment to hang out (maybe like 20 minutes from where they live) we watched the movies and ended up talking though most of Top Chef because we get along so well. Then he got a call to go to the bar from my sisters boyfriend because our other friend was going away fro awhile. So then he invited me out to the bar with them and I heistate because I don't drive so someone would have to drive me home and he offered to take me home later in the night. We go to his house and wait for everyone to get ready to go to the bar, I meet his Mom (he lives at home, but meeting his Mom went really well I think she really liked me), then we go to the bar hang out, play eucher, whatever. I decide to stay the night at my sisters instead of making him drive me home at 2 am and my other sister ask if I want to go out to breakfast after her morning appointment, if you go out to breakfast call me. He went to breakfast and then we kindof made tentitve plans to go out that night, everyone was getting together to play Eucher again so I said on that side of town and then he didn't show and went out of town to his cousins instead. So I don't know I was hoping he would come play Eucher so we could make plans to hang out again on Wednesday. I figure that would be the perfect opening because there would be enough people around that we could make plans without everyone hearing. I really don't want everyone to be involved with trying to get us to start dating, although I fear it may be to late for that because I think my sister and her boyfriend are already more involved then I would like them. I'm kindof weary about the whole situtation because of the fact that it is my sisters good friend and her boyfriends best friend and if it doesn't work out then I don't want things to be ackward for everyone involved.

    Sorry for the really long vent I'm just trying to mentally work things out and everyone here is always so helpful.
