Evening ladies~
Thought I'd check in before bed. Had another good day. :carrot: Lovely cool weather, felt great on my walks. Tomorrow suppose to hit around 90 as well, I plan on doing a walk in the morning and coming home to mow the yard then depending how hot/humid it is in the evening I'll either walk again or ride the exercise bike in the basement. My youngest has his end of the year picnic tomorrow so I'll pack us up a good, balanced lunch. ;) Sassy~ You're doing awesome!! You saw what was happening and stopped it! Babble all you want, that's what we're here for!! :hug: Well need to go put them kids in bed. They're so antsy about school almost out and I let them stay up longer than normal for a school night. I'll talk with ya'll tomorrow. Have a terrrrrific Thursday!! :grouphug: |
Morning Chickadees!
I'm so happy we won this week! Let's see if we can pull it off again for a repeat win! :carrot: My dieting has been kind of funky lately and I'm thinking it's because I started going back to school again full time instead of part time like I was before. When I was going part time I only had one class every other night so I had time to work out and plan ahead. Not to mention the material wasn't half as stressful as this term ( I have Accounting 1 and Financing 1) so I have to study twice as hard. I'm doing ok in my classes.... but I feel like my diet is suffering because of it. And all these bridal showers aren't helping either! I just kind of feel like I'm in a whirlwind since the week of Memorial Day. I was thinking it was going to get better but it hasn't. That's why I gained last week. I keep hopping on the scale in the morning and it's not changing, despite me eating my points and sometimes below my points. I think it may just be stress :dizzy: but who really knows right. Guess we'll find out Saturday morning! So we've reached the half way mark and we are boot scooting right along on both our exercise and water challenges. Lets keep up the good work to the finale! |
Good morning ladies! Well it is going to be hot and windy here today! I am taking the kids to my aunts house this afternoon to go swimming. Yesterday the kids and I went to a skate park/park and had a picnic. It was a really nice day yesterday and it felt wonderful being out in the fresh air. I am going to keep these little buggers busy this summer or they will drive me insane. Good thing we know so many people with pools because they all love the water and don't complain at all when they are swimming. This morning I have some laundry to get done before we go and then I am off to pay a bill for my husband and then off we go. I got in a nice run/walk last night and my food was pretty good besides the cheese crackers I got into. I stopped myself though when I felt it getting out of hand so that is good. Well ladies you all have a fantastic day!
Chellez- I know stress plays a huge part into my eating! You have a ton going on right now....I mean just planning a wedding is enough but school on top of that is alot. Just try and take it one day at a time and do the best you can! Cathy- Have fun at the picnic today! Sassy- You should be really proud of yourself for seeing what you were doing to yourself and stopping it so quickly. It usually takes me a week before I'm like okay enough of punishing myself. Hang in there hun! Have a good one ladies! |
It's like 95 degrees here today - hot, hot, hot! Needless to say, I'm trying to stay cool.
I really need to get back on the water and exercise routine. I've gotten in about 20 ounces of water today, so I have tons more to drink to hit 8 glasses. That's okay, I'm going to work outside, so I'm sure I'll have no problems getting it in. |
It's Friday, which means it's the weekend! :)
Have you made plans to stay OP? |
Woo hoo! Finally some heat! :flame: Today it's supposed to be about 100 here and nothing but sunshine! :sunny: I'm so happy for hot weather! If only the humidity would go down it would be such a muggy heat.
I already told my boss I was heading outside to sit today since it was going to be nice out. Maybe I'll pull weeds or something that gets me moving a bit. I just need a tan on my big ol' legs! I was thinking about starting to go to the tanning bed because I think it would put a nice umph in my wanting to lose weight to get my bod to match what my mind wants to be a bikini bod. Maybe I'll do that this afternoon after I clean. Jenny - I have made plans and I'm going to fix what I messed up the past two weeks! Here's my plan from tonight through next week
I'm setting a kind of high goal that by June 16th I want to have lost 2 more pounds from whatever I weigh in tomorrow as. I'm really not sure if I've lost or maintained only because my scale likes to be weird. I'm thinking if I exercise today and tomorrow morning I should be ok. I'd rather maintain than gain. Problem is I need to lose for my wedding dress! I have yet to get the pictures from Dan's camera from the shower. I'll try and get them when I go home for lunch. Later ladies! :wave: |
Hi ladies! I have been a very bad poster, but the good news is that you all have been doing great! Here's hoping for lots of good weigh ins over the next few days so that we can have another week of victory.
My big event for the weekend - I'm running a half-marathon on Sunday. I'm excited and yet a bit terrified. I'll be glad when I'm actually in the middle of doing it, rather than sitting here thinking about it. Hope everyone has a healthy and happy weekend. |
i've also been a very bad poster... i've sort of stalled out a bit... bouncing between 224 and 228. what a rollercoaster.. sheesh. but i'm doing a take off so hopefully it will help me bust through this plateau. i'm off to go weigh in shortly so i'll post my weight later this afternoon. happy trails all... have a great day!
cheers Michelle |
Well I weighed in yesterday morning thinking I was going to maintain but I lost! :carrot: I lost 1 lb 2 oz and got rid of my gain from last week plus some. So now I'm finally at my 10 lb loss again from weight watchers.
We had a cookout yesterday night and there was lots of alcohol involved so I'll need to work extra hard this week to work that off! Have a good Sunday ladies! |
Morning Blue Team :sunny:
It's a gorgeous day here, taking the boys and going to go do some stuff. Tomorrow is their last day of school, finally!!!! We're planning the stuff we're going to do for summer vacation when my bestfriend and her son get up here and for our drive down to Texas. I'm pretty excited and really determined to lose a size or two by then. I have 4 weeks before we head to Texas so I'm going to work my program!!!! :D Rachel ~ good luck on your :running: half marathon!!! Do let us know how well you did. Chellez~ sounds like you got a plan going there!! :high: Jenny~ I think weighing in at WW on Mondays helps keep me on track through the weekend. ;) Michelle ~ hang in there girl, I know that frustration of bouncing back and forth :rollpin:. Stay focused and you'll bust through that!!! Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday. I'll catch up my water and exercise later this evening on the other threads. |
I have my family reunion this weekend. The place that is haven't it is pretty health concious thought. There will probably potato and macaroni salads but a little is fine. I am still at 130 but tomorow I will post my weight even thought if it does go lower i won't put it in I have my 2 day rule...lol

Back in town!
Hi, Blue.
Well, since I last posted I've been on three business trips, and in four cities other than Dallas (home). I went to Kansas City, MO, Pittsburgh, DC/VA, and Atlanta. Good news, though, I started losing again. Well, I started taking off the mystery 6 pounds that had recloaked my body. Hotel treadmills are my friends. :tread: I've missed you all. I have to catch up on posts and see what you all have been up to. Hugs, choosie. Rachel/Windy...congrats on going for the gold on the half! Tell us how you did. xo |
:mad: Changing my name to FRUSTRATED-DIVA:mad:
I DON'T get it! I've been good with the eating, depraving myself of sweets even though thet are eaten right in font of me...exercising, and on Sat, walked 6.5 hours STRAIGHT! I was SOOOOO sore yesterday I could barely move.... Yet I gained 2 lbs????!!!!! What is going on???? Why can't it be as easy to lose weight as it is to gain it? I mean, apprently all I have to do is look and smell food. I am so PISSED! I am almost to the point of just starving myself to lose the first 15 lbs..... Sorry to complain, but I am seriously upset. I'm MAD as all get out. :?: |
Diva the gain right now is probably water retention from all the walking. You gave your legs a good workout and now they have to repair the muscle. What kinds of food are you eating...like refined cards if so they can hinder weight loss (they do for me) I do better with whole grain breads and stuff like that .I like the 14 grain bread ,whole wheat can hinder me too sometimes. Lots of protein helps also On a typical day I have a slice of toast with 1 tbsp peanut butter and a small banana~ snack usually 1 serving of yougurt with berries and/or homemade granola ~lunch peanut butter sandwich or egg and toast (add whatever vegetables i want)~ Snack fruit and wasa crakers (80 cals for 3) with peanut butter or cheese ~supper a big *** salad and meat (chicken,lean pork, lean kids bugger etc).
Are you weight training? I hope this helps if not just completely ignore me. lol |
I eat pretty much everything you said except for granola. I do eat Salads, but not a lot, I usually get the bags of mixed veggies (frozen) and have that for lunch, sauted in 1 TSP of Olive oil for lunch w/a serving of Smoked turkey lunch meat. I have Special-K or Cherrios & 2% milk for Breakfast, can't go any lower or the family won't drink it. Milk is WAY too expensive to have to buy 2 seperate kinds. And I have whatever we have for dinner, and just watch the portion control. I don't go over 1600 calories at all. There are day's I am more in the 1200 to 1500 range. I usually skip bread altogether. I exercise 4 to 5 times a week doing anything from walking, Step Aerobics, Bike riding, Swimming, Weight lifting, ball work-outs, and for no less than 30 minutes, but usually it's for an hour to 2 hours. Maybe you are right about the sore muscles...I am STILL sore.
I dunno, for some reason I am stuck within the same 5 lbs, up and down for the last 3 months or so. :( Seriously, DO I have to starve myself to drop the first 15 lbs? Last yr I did WW and lost 10 lbs, since then I went through a stressful situation with my youngest son, and gained back 15 lbs. I am bigger now than I have ever been in my entire life. I am getting so depressed and stressed out. I got a lil' depressed about it after the Dollywood thing this Saturday, seeing all those skinny women in their tank tops and whatnot, and I wanted to wear a tanktop too but didn't because of my arms. What sucked even more was when we was standing in a line, there was this really pretty blonde, about my age, with the perfect figure, face, hair, outfit, everything, and even though my fiancee' tried not to look, I could see that he liked what he saw. He was trying to NOT look because he knows I DO get pissed at that, but it was like he couldn't help himself. (I am not stupid enough to think that guys don't look at other women, but I find it VERY disrespectful if they do it in their woman's presense, and he knows this.) He never looks at ME that way. I'm sure he doesn't even remember that now, but I sure do...So, I am almost to the point of just starving myself, at least to get off what I gained back.... |
