Hello Ladies!

Diva-My scale sticks around 198-195lbs! It is also a weight watcher scale! Maybe it is their way of getting people to join(they make their scales stick after a certain amt of weight loss) Ha Ha. LOL. If I can get to 189 I would be jumpin' for joy!

Did someone say water challenge??? Yeah!

chellez,
Congrats on the big weight loss!

Ritual for weighing in: Naked, mid morning, after workout and peeing. All on Sunday morning. During the week I do step on the scale naked but not as concerned with the details./

IDOL was awesome!!
Tomorrow will be even better!

Ate junk for dinner. Got home from baseball game and cooked burgers on grill. Had cheese and a few chips and toss salad with FF dressing at 8pm. Now it is 10:21pm and am going to bed.

Have a good day tomorrow and good night my friends,
Lisa

Today wasn't too bad. I made some not so awesome food choices. There was a babyshower for a co-worker, lots of snacky food...I did way better than I would have before, but still not awesome. But I did go to the gym tonight after a 2 month hiatus! I could have, and should have, worked myself harder. I don't feel sore right now and that makes me mad, it almost just feels like I wasted my time. I'm going again on Thursday with my friends, and then on Tuesday I get to see my new trainer (I didn't end up seeing him today cause bf hadn't done the body fat testing and stuff that they do at first), so hopefully he'll exercise my *** off. Literally.

My weigh-in ritual: Try to get 8 hours of sleep (if I don't get 8 hours I don't take the weight seriously, I'm not sure why), get up, go pee, and then weigh-in in the nude.

WTG, CHellez!! :cp:
I had a decent day- another 6:15 wake up with my 15 minute t-tapp workout and then 25 minutes doing Dance Dance Revolution. I also walked to the school council meeting tonight which was about a mile.

Eating was good too. I just need a few more good days under my belt, but I'm feeling back in control and hoping to see a great loss this week.

Chellez - you are a STAR!!! Way to go woman! :celebrate:



We went to the Raps game last night and had a blast. My DH works for the team so we went to cheer him on - ha. They won!!!
I managed to eat dinner before I went and didn't snack at all. Not even a bite of pizza that I gave to my son at the game! They gave me two slices for the price of one because they said the first one looked smallish. THEY WERE HUGE! Forunately my friend who came with us ate one of the slices. My 33 month old ate half and I threw the other half out - normally I would have eaten it.

It's a beautiful sunny day here so I think I can get out with the boys for a walk today! Maybe even try another session with Bob! Hope you all are having a great day!

Hey all,

Chellez, :congrat: on the 6.8lb loss thats great.. Way to go..:)

Awesome job last week everyone..

:goodluck: Everyone for this week..

What rituals or good luck charms do you do or keep around you on/before weigh in day? The night before I try not to eat anything after 8pm.. Then in the morning when I get up I go to the toilet and then step on the scale naked with only my knickers on.. (saturdays are my weigh in day..)

Thanks so much for the congrats! :hug:

Well I snuck in parts of Idol last night. Simon kissing Kiki... oh how gross :barf: Blake's performance was a trainwreck and they applaud him. But alas, it's a popularity contest so more than likely I'm saying Phil and Chris are gone this week. That's only if my friends over at votefortheworst did a horrible job voting for phil. :devil: This season is too predictable. I'm thinking final two is Jordin and Melinda... no questions.

On an idol sidenote... I was so glad to see Jon Bon Jovi without that funky sounding girl from Sugarland... I really can't stand that Crossroads episode anymore. It's on MTV High Definition everyday. I still like watching the Kenny Rogers & Lionel Ritchie one though, only because Lionel Ritchie is one of my kings of music. ;)

Anyway! All this talk about you gals working out with Bob is sure making a woman jealous... I dunno if I can share him! :p

I think I'm having allergy issues. I went outside yesterday to talk to my boss in his field and came back into my office and my throat was swollen and my nose was acting funny. I woke up this morning hoping it would be gone but nope... My neck feels like it looks like this: http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/frog...nhylid_med.jpg

Well I'm off to do invoicing but I'll have the internet going so if you want to chit chat I'll be checking back. :D

Good morning ladies! Well I did it last night and I knew it was coming. I ate everything in the house but the kitchen sink! I had been doing so good with my eating and I did good yesterday until after dinner. I got into the kids Easter candy along with chips and an ice cream sandwich to top it off. I feel like crap today. I know I shouldn't let this drag me down but I just don't know why I do this to myself. I wasn't hungry at all. I had just finished eating a nice dinner so no excuse there. I know I have to move on today and wipe the slate clean and focus on making good choices today but it really plays awful mind games with me. I am going to stick with my calories today and do my cardio this morning and hope weigh-in won't be affected. I have exercised faithfully and besides yesterday my eating had been fantastic so I am praying that I can at least come out even this week! I have to get down to the root of why I continue to do this to myself though. I mean I can feel the shame of it while I'm doing it but continue to do it. I know its bad when I am paranoid my husband is going to walk in and find me and I'm hiding the wrappers under things in the garbage. I have talked to him about it before but I don't think he understands and he tends to get really frustrated with me so I just rather hide it from him now I guess. I just feel so embaressed and guilty though. I want to do this and I work my butt off in the gym and then come home and blow it. It just makes me feel like I have no self control. Anyways sorry girls I just had to get this off my chest so I could move on today and start fresh. On a way happier note my son has a baseball game tonight that I am really looking forward to going to. Also the weather cooled off a bit here which is fine by me. It was 85 in my house yesterday and I refused to turn the air on because I knew it was only going to be hot yesterday so I was a cranky witch all day. Today I have to do cardio at home and put away loads of laundry and pick up a bit. Again sorry to unload all of this on you guys I just thought if I could tell anyone and not be judged it would be you all. Have a great day ladies and mine is going to be way better then yesterdays!

Chellez....you weren't digging Idol huh? I actually liked it last night. I thought Blakes rendition was kinda cool....but I am totally a pop/hip-hop fan so that may be the reasoning! Hey CONGRATULATIONS on that loss girl....you kicked *** your first week!:bravo: Keep on trucking girl because 180's here you come!

I need to make a master list of all your names and jot down what I want to say to you in a notebook because when I go into the advanced to get more smilies it don't let me go back and then I forget names! So sorry ladies! It sounds like everyone is doing great though so keep up the good work and let's have a BLUE VICTORY this week what do you all say? Have a great day everyone!:hug:

I loved Blake's number and for the first time this season actually voted. I was able to get right through to his number, though, which is never a good sign, heh.

I didn't do too badly yesterday...had a couple of bites of my sweetie's captain crunch, but otherwise stuck to plan. :)

Morning Tina!

So sorry you had a rough one yesterday. :( It's hard not having a hubby that's as enthusiastic about weight loss as you. Daniel keeps telling me he's not going on a diet cause he wants to be the heavy set guy with a skinny hot wife. *pfft* yeah right! If it makes you feel any better, he bet me $10 that I could not last until this coming Friday on WW. Looks like I'll be 10 bucks richer on Friday... maybe next week I'll bet him a manicure. :lol:

What I usually do when I get in a situation like that yours (except mine is usually a overload of breads and starches) First thing I do is push my weigh in day back a few days if there's still time for it. You still have plenty of time so you're ok there. Next I drink double to triple the amount of water I'd drink on a normal basis. I also drink cranberry juice to help get me going. Going to the potty 10 million times a day is one of the best ways to flush out your system of sugars. Then I eat tons upon tons of salads and veggies. It's almost being vegetarian for a few days.

Try that and see if it works. ;)

I did grocerie shopping today. My fridge is full now of fruit and veggies and yogurt.Since today was a half day for my oldest 2 I had limited time to do the shopping in so I didn't get any exercising in except for walking in 3.5 inch heals for 2 hours. I snuck on the scale today I am down a pound (135) 1 more pound until I am back at starting weight. I stuck to plan last night althought I did eat after the kids went to bed it was oatmeal and a banana but I needed the calories or they would have been too low.

Chellez~ congrats on the HUGE loss (I don't think I said this yet)
If I missed anyone I am sorry I will read the rest of the post later.


WE WILL KICK BUTT!!!!!!

Why are kids so cool??? :dizzy:

I had the honor of being one of my daughters elementary school's Talent Show Auditions Judges. WOW!!! Everyone did great and I almost got teary eyed and how brave and confident most of them were.... Man kids are cool!!!

my daughter however is not the ALL EYES ON ME type so she was a wonderful cheerleader on the side for her friends and I couldnt be more proud :) everyone needs support :hug:

So this has been a gray week so far.... weather wise at least

Tuesdays are nuts around here and i hadnt eaten much at all which is great until I start to feel sick from lack of calories and force myself to stomach Arby's which is not in the norm for me... im not a big fast food fan. But I managed to swallow down two ham and cheese sandwiches and a small order of curly fries that I didnt finish.... BLEEAACHH.... tasted TERRIBLE the kicker is I KEPT EATING IT!!! so I took note of how that terrible food made me feel and why in the world did i keep eating it??? I decided it was my body taking over and I had let it kick into starvation mode and it just wanted whatever was in arms reach... not good... i neglected my body.... thats a no no Alisa.. :mad:

either way in no way did I fall off track because at least i didnt get a whopper with cheese and a side of heart attack.

but I told myself to add an extra 20 minutes of exercise since i didnt prepare... so at 1:15 this morning I was WIPED!!! but I did high step marching for 30 min. with 4 lb weights moving up down across back the whole time... I didnt have the energy for a high impact but needed to do something to get my heart rate up.... so I did was my body was able to do :) pretty proud of myself

so that was my NV yesterday. this is supposed to be TOM this week but so far im in the clear and have ZERO cravings so.... im right on track

keep up the hard work ladies we are 1/2 way through the week ALREADY!!!!!

ALISA'S TBL soundtrack:
week 1: Nina Simone -Feelin Good
week 2: Queen -Dont Stop Me Now

Have a great day chicas!:D :hug:

Well the one big bummer about being sick is not wanting to eat.... and boy am I feeling that. I ate a nice sized breakfast but as the day progresses my body is feeling weaker as my cold/alergies take over. I managed to stomach half of a Wendy's Chicken BLT salad with a string cheese and cup of Fat free pudding. I'm feeling a long nap coming on... but I'm supposed to go to school tonight. :( i really need the rest but I have a quiz to take. I'll try emailing my teacher to see what she says.

Anyone else get like that when you get sick? You dont really want to eat but you know you need to? :sp:
