Peachy - uuhhhhh, I think your scale is broken lol, I understand a 5lb gain/water retention, but 11lbs is a bit much! When do you weigh in?
i just finished sewing together the biggest Christmas present on my project list - a vest for my 12 year old cousin (the rest of the projects are neck cowls and hats and such), and boy does it feel good to be done this beast! The pattern was written by a girl who didn't double-check what she wrote so the pattern has loads of inconsistencies (blegh, extra work for me). But it turned out really cute And it kinda fits me, which is silly because it's in a size S/M for young girls. But hand knits are silly that way. I usually knit in a M or L for myself, but now that my measurements are changing I can knit myself things in S and M depending on the pattern! Yay, NSV that saves me money and yardage in yarn!
Back to the needles, I still have some time to knit today before I need to workout and do my classwork, eep!
ETA: I almost forgot, I was looking for bikini bottoms online at Target because I needed a new bottom to a bathing suit top I have and found 2 ADORABLE bikinis on sale for $6 and $10 for each as a set. Sooo now I have 3 goal bikinis! One is a navy blue, green, and yellow plaid and the other is a bright baby blue with white anchors on it!!! I have a thing for anchors, so I'm so happy I found both of these

Crazy...and fun weekend. Found myself down half a lb yesterday though I fail to understand how drinking and overeating contributed to my weight loss!? Getting back on track this week since I feel bloated. 5LB before Thanksgiving... going to happen!
dreamer11 - I wish I did have some tips to help w/the weekends! What helps me is just staying busy. Other than that, I'm lost (& hungry)
luvja - Jamaica sounds so fun!! My boyfriend has family that lived there for quite a few years... he visited & said that it was awesome :].
peachykeen62 - the most "weight" I've gained after a weekend of overeating is like 8 lbs.. it all came off the following week + 1 more, so I'm sure all/most of it was water weight. So that might be the case like you said. Checking on a diff scale always works though
Hi everyone,
I'm officially sick. I was feeling it coming on for the last two days and it's offical (one roommate it had it, then the other, now me). I couldn't muster up the energy to go to the gym. I seriously was conisdering it but then decided that there would be no way I would be able to breath. Hopefully the drugs start to kick in more and I'll be able to go tomorrow. I hate being sick.
Being sick makes me depressed because I don't feel like I have anything going on in my life. I'm waiting for a new work assignment ... my boss has to decide how he is going to get me the file, I suggested just mailing me the CD but IDK. Hopefully I'll get access to their remote server soon enough so they can just tell the case name and I can download the file. Otherwise I don't have anything to do. I'm thinking of getting a part time job doing retail so I can met people.
I didn't weigh myself this morning, simply forgot, I was more concerned with loading myself up with cold medicine. Other then that I laid by the pool for awhile, my replacement phone came in the mail so I set that up. Now I'm just laying on the couch, maybe I'll read a book.
Luvja - Oooh I like it there We've stayed at Negril and St. Jame's I believe? I haven't been there in a few years in favor of the Riviera Maya in Mexico lol. If I'm at goal by the summer, like planned, then I'm hoping to go somewhere tropical where I can show off my new beach bod instead of hiding in beach cover ups and maxi dresses for once!
Uhhh... lol Not even gonna bother. Just gonna say I'm back!
Ditto... Not a great week for me last week, although I've been pretty much on plan since Saturday. I did have one major success today - I had to set up our displays for a trade show tomorrow, and we have one that holds about 20 different kinds of candy... And of course, we ordered more samples than necessary, so I'm sitting there with tubs and tubs of candy, and I didn't eat a single piece!!! I put a piece of gum in my mouth and anytime I thought about having one, I tried to think about how I'd really like to be in the 170s by next weekend when I go to FL for my step-sister's wedding.
Hey, everyone! A lot of you probably don't know or remember me but I was part of this group a while back. Well, things happened, had to move, got internet cut off, gained my weight back ...but now I'm back and happy to be back and ready to get back into the swing of things and get to know my 20-somethings again! I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
I had an okay weekend. Did my first workout of 30 Day Shred on Saturday, and took a break from exercise on Sunday. However, studying in the lounge last night, a friend decided to run home real quick, and when she came back she was carrying two bowls of ice cream and placed one in front of me. Well, I couldn't resist it. Fail. I need to have a talk with her about not doing that again.
Today was bad school-wise. I was not motivated and went to none of my classes, including a lab! Oh no. I need to get back on track tomorrow, but I'm sure I've lost a bit of my grade for that. However, I did go to my dance class, and then did another hour of dance at home, and did 30DS again. I want to get back into C25K this week, so we'll see.
Greetings from Omaha!! I just had the best dinner I've had in a long time, and I don't even think it was that high on calories. I prepared by eating healthy stuff all day, and I even worked out for an hour after I got off the plane, but it was so good I do not care.
I was up 2 lbs this morning from yesterday, which is just darn impossible, so I'm going to be on my best behavior here and see what Thursday brings when I get back to DC. Its funny, the fitness center here is like 10000x better than the one at my apartment complex, so I have no excuse not to use it
Stella - It's probably just water weight! Have fun in Omaha!
I made those Pumpkin Muffins again tonight. Sooooo good, I love them! I even had enough batter left over to make a batch of mini-muffins too, so I guess those would be 60 calories per mini muffin if the regular ones are 120. I still have 1 box of spice cake left in my pantry so I think I'll make a batch for my boyfriend's family when he comes on Friday :3
Platform - I bought the stuff tomake the muffins again too. They are so yummy and filling.
Have any of you tried Emerald Nuts Coco Roast Almonds? OMG the best thing ever!!! The are dusted with dark coo and come in 100 cal packs. Perfect for a snack and to satisfy a sweet tooth.
Ugh, so apparently I'm up .5lbs (totaling 2lbs from Sunday) WTH?! I was thinking about it and realized most of my meals for the past few days have been pretty high in sodium so for the next few days it's low sodium meals, lots and lots of water, and hard time in the gym. Also, TMI I haven't gone to the bathroom properly in a few days. Water retention blows.
I wonder if I shouldn't have my rest day be alternating, and maybe I should just use Saturday as a rest day for yoga and stretching because on Sundays we usually have a big family dinner and I'm thinking that's what got me.
Ok, ok, ok. Enough of my whining about water retention/gains/the scale/food. The best thing to do is keep my head high and work harder.
What are you ladies up to today?
