Yeah! And you know I'm too lazy to go back and read the 1st 20 pages, so I'll have to just jump in here. :)

welcome girlie - ANd you know we don't expect to read those pages...LOL

I only managed 3.5 miles last nite. I guess the 11 miles from the past two days did me in! I just listened to my body and stopped. I WI today. I hope I lose. I really want to break the 160's

ashlan- listen to your body it knows best

leslie- jump right in

kelli - i am a ridiculous procrastinator i will call soon ugh

becky- ???

sooo ive been tracking my food all week and staying under my calories i need to eat more fruits and veggies but i have a good start. still havent made it to the gym dont want to give any excuses but i will make it

i am super duper lonely and need to go on a date or have some man attention. these dreams i have been having lately are too much for me:dizzy:

i hope to see a loss fri for my unofficial weigh in but def for my weigh in monday. if i get my lard *** up and go to the gym i could ensure a loss huh
:kickbutt:

Ok so to start off with. I was doing really well working out every day and then a little over a week ago I started breaking out. i thought it was hives from stress so I tried everything i could think of to relax and take baths to not itch as much. Well it just got worse and worse so Tuesday I went to the doctor and she wasn't exactly sure so she is treating me for SCABIES!! So needless to say my entire body is covered in red gross welts that itch like nothing I have ever experienced. I haven't been able to go outside because of the heat, or do anything let alone work out. The only good thing is that my appetite is almost NONE. I just want my skin to go back to normal and to not feel like I am on fire from itchiness ALL DAY EVERY DAY. She said it'll probably be another week or 2 weeks til I dont really itch anymore. that just seems like forever. not to mention I had to treat my son and my boyfriend and pray that if that is what I have that they do not get it. I had to deep clean and wash like everything in my apartment.

I am just tired stressed out and I can't even enjoy the nice weather..plus I look LIke a diseased freak. the only thing i have to say is THANK GOD it isn't on my face!!!

Anyways so sorry about the long rant of this but I just wanted to let you all in on what is going on in my neck of the woods and wy I have been soo absent.

Blcarter: So sorry you're going through that! :( I hope you feel better!

Brie: I am soooo with you on the "man time!" Everyone I meet in Atlanta is so sketchy though.

Cake: That's right. Listen to that body.

So as for me... why in the heck can I not find my keys? I'm using spares. They have to be in my apartment. I know I've stuck them in some random place and and will feel totally stupid when I do find them.

As for my weight loss... I've been slacking. I need to get it together.

well my mama signed me up and is paying for WW also known as "fat girls not so anonymous meetings" lol i did really well with it before and she has too and i am going to go with her so that she sticks with it and i do too. sooo here we go with WW i have come full circle i lost at the begin with it. lets hope i can end by losing with it.

so cake me and u are counting points girl!

i got called for an interview for a full time position with benefits and i am praying i get this job. the first interview was yesterday and it went well and by the time i drove home they had called me for the second interview! so i go today at 2 CST. if i get this job today i dont have to wait tables! and i will have benefits for the first time in my life. i am sooo excited.

becky - my bff had scabies and it cleared up pretty well with no scaring so take the meds and they prob gave u some cream to use and try not to scratch and u will be fine. but make sure yr bf cleans his sheets and stuff in the same stuff u did or u might get them again.

leslie - there is no day better than today to get OP! at least thats what my mama told me today :)

Brie - I am glad the interview went well (tweetn) and I am uber excited about you and WW. You are definitely gonna do it and you KNOW you have me for suppport.

Beaka - I hope you find your keys. i hate when I do that.

Becky - I am soooo sorry. When I broke out with the hives I thought I was going to die! I hope you get better soon because it sounds bad.

As for me. I went to Spin class and then ran two miles for a total of 80 min of cardio today. But I went and ruined it all with a Chicken taco Salad and a scoop of ice cream from Magie Moo Moo. Argh! And I got on the scale this morning at 170.6! I am probably 180 by now !!!.

i am going to change my ticker to my WW weight and take a freebie from my bl challenge to convert to my WW weight. i will still weigh at home but i want to be at one with ww lol

So... I'm in from the club, where I had a rum and diet coke. And I just had a BK Big Fish Combo (w/onion rings and diet coke). And did I mention I had pizza for lunch? Ok... back on track in the morning.

I did do 40 minutes on the elliptical today though. And I'm gonna get some gym time in tomorrow too. I think I need some tough love...

Oh, I did buy a dress from Target today in XL. Not my usual plus size or XXL. Plus I got some pants from Gap in a size 14. They're a little snug, but the 16s were loose. I tried on jeans too. Anybody else hit up their 19.99 jean sale? That's what I went for, but I didn't find any that fit right. :(

Cake: I did find the keys. It was a huge mess. I had thrown them in the trash. My car key got wet in there, so it doesn't work anymore. Which means I couldn't deactivate my alarm. My car has a full security system, so unlocking the door with the key or cranking it up doesn't deactivate it. So I could open the door, but the alarm goes off. You have to know where your systems emergency cutoff is in your car (which I didn't). I was gonna have to get it towed into Toyota (they quoted me $225 for this), but thank God my Key worked for 1 second and turned it off. And of course isn't working since but the alarms off I just use the key regularly. Very random.

Well I did 6 miles outside at the trail. I ran the first three alone and then the last three my sister mket up with me and we walked them. She is not a runner and I am thankful for that today. I have really got to adjust outside. God I pray I break the 170's this week.

Where is the heck is everyone?

Brie How is WW going so far? WHen is your first WI

Beaka I am glad you found your keys and how the WL coming

Kelli have you been able to work out?

Becky Are you feeling better?

WW is going well.

i am definitely learning about making good choices etc all over again. i think this is what i needed. and i feel like i can live with this.

my first WI will be Wed or Thurs because I am going OOT on Thursday afternoon and will WI prior to leaving. so not a full week but hopefully some change.

now if only i could go to the gym. kelli i know i know i need to call u i am just trying to get used to working out on my own first ya know?? but i didnt realize how convenient my old apartment in stl was i had a park 3 blocks away and when i was ready to work out i just laced up and went running. i wish i had that here but since i dont and i wouldnt feel safe outside running anywhere near my neighborhood i need to join the gym and GO!

ashlan - u are such an exercise inspiration girl!

beaka - have u been OP?? i have oh accountability partner

becky - how are u feeling and hows the skin

kelli - where r u?

How's my weight loss coming? It's not bad, but I'm not putting my all into it right now. Losing like .5 lbs a week. My goal was to be down to 215 by Essence which is this weekend. I think I'm just mad because I know I could have been there. I still could be, but it would require crazy, unhealthy weight loss. I'm still conscious of what I eat, but I haven't been making the "best" food choices. I need to get back into logging my stuff on SparkPeople. Plus, my group training program is about to be over. I think I'm feeling that pressure to keep myself on a workout schedule even without the trainer. Plus, I have the whole stress of going on vacation and then moving again. I just need to get back in the right mental place for weight loss. I took some pictures of me today and am NOT happy with what I saw.

Brie: An accountability partner would probably be good for me. Were you saying you don't have one? What type of system do they usually have going?

Brie and Beaka - Accountability for each other does sound like a good idea.

Beaka - I have an idea. You are not in WL frame of mind right now...to much going on. Sooooo jut get in a "Maintain" frame of mind. You can't be mad at yourself if you do not expect to lose anything and you do by accident. When my life was really hectic a month or so ago, I just tryuly focused on getting in the gym and not so much WL. I hope this helps.

well we could all hold each other accountable here. we kind of already do. but we could make it more structured like post here everyday and then text, post or fb each other to say hey did u work out? did u eat breakfast? are u eating veggies not pickles? ;)

just someone that is holding u accountable for yr success and vice versa.

lets do it! lol

soo i'm down 3.5 on my own scale since saturday but official WW WI is tomorrow or thurs hopefully i can be down a solid 5

fyi ive been doing the apple cider vinegar 3x a day and i think it is really helping. nisha talked abt it a while ago in the weekly chat
