Melissa, your poor daughter! I hope she is feeling better. It is so easy to let any little excuse keep us from exercising (I do this a lot!). So, no excuses today, we have to get out and do it!
Well, I didn't do so well last night. My cousin came into town and wanted to go to Chick Fila. I could've made a better choice, but I chose to get the sandwich. I ate some of the kids fries and got water...if that helps any. But as I say, one bad meal maketh not the woman. Get up and make the next one a good one.
My DD's last day of school picnic is today, so I'll get a little outside time, then I'll do a little something with Leslie or Billy later on today.
Melissa-did you get that workout in today? No excuses. Oh and I did my 50 jacks this morning and my DD was like what are you doing. Then when I was doing my lunges, she said I was moving like a sloth.
Amber-WTG on getting that run in. I am hoping to do one tomorrow. Did you get your laundry done.? I put away about 4 baskets full yesterday and plan to get the rest done today. I want it all done before DH comes back.
Charity-I've been to the range before, but only to watch. That's nice that you and your DH have something that you do together.
Danielle- Where are you and Bob?
Michelle-Hang in there. You can get back on the wagon.
Well there's been a war between the kids, so I must go be a peacemaker. I'll check in later.
Love
Its been another busy week around here with work and the kids last week of school packed with field trips and parties. I am beat! I have been on & off the wagon the last few days, seems like I can go a couple meals perfectly and then something just gets me and I land on my arse. I am really going to try and be a good girl this week as we are heading to CA for my sisters graduation next week. I just found out that my grandma will be there and man can this woman cook! We're only going to be gone about 5 days but I know it'll be packed with lots & lots of food. Seems like my family is really big on the social food gatherings!
Michelle, great to see you recommitted, you won't regret it. Don't you deserve to be healthy? YES you do! Stay strong and never give up!
Melissa, bummer about DD I hope she is feeling better today.
Love, we won't even discuss Chik Fil A...lol There is one literally across the street from where I live. It would take me about 2 minutes to get there and trust me, my kids love that place! Enjoy your time outside today!
Everyone else, have a GREAT day and keep fighting the good fight! You're worth it!
Kids last day of school & it's a half day so must get going around here, lots to do! Why is it whenever I finally get a day off I end up having the most stuff to accomplish! Grrr!
Love, one sandwich is no big deal! Good for you for not letting it keep you off track!
Danielle, time with family is very hard for me! They act like they have no idea how to cook healthy foods. My mom and grandma are good southern women, so they can't possibly make a meal not loaded with fat! It is really hard. And, if they don't feel like cooking, then we have to order pizza! It makes it really hard to stay on program!
Amber, you have been running so much, you should add your miles to our miles game! We could really use them, I think the Blue Team is kicking our butt!
Well, I walk/ran 3 miles and also stretched and did my 50 abs and 25 jumping jacks. I will meet my goals for today!!!
Hey all! I've been scarce lately as I've been taking care of my mom because she just had surgery (exploratory... no big deal). HOPEFULLY I'll get a chance to do personals and catch up with everyone this weekend, but it probably won't be until at least Saturday because my brother's graduation ceremony is tomorrow. He's the valedictorian at his high school, so he gets to give a speech, which I hope goes well. I've been doing not so great with my eating this week... nothing too terrible, just not as good as I'd like it to be. I'll be extremely happy if I lose ANYTHING this week, but I doubt I will.
Hope everyone else is doing great! I'll check you guys later!
Hi Lindsey! How exciting for your brother! You must be so proud
Well.... my results are in ladies. The weightloss gods weren't with me this week. I'm still the same. I figure it's just my body's way of lolling everyone into a false sense of security. And then BAM next week! I'm all of a sudden the biggest loser! I wasn't perfect OP this week, but I know what I need to work on to get better So that's what I'm doing this week.
Only 42 days left till Mexico! I need to get my butt into gear!
I'll be out of town this weekend. I'm sure I'll check in later, but in case I don't everyone have a wonderful mememorial day weekend!
Alright! I wanna know which one of you sent TOM to my house!!! Made me eat pizza last night and everything!!! I peeked at the scale this morning and its not good! But, the good news is that I got a bike and I'm going to be putting it to ALOT of use this weekend, hopefully burning some bloat...think thats possible? LOL!! I'm just going to go ahead and do all 5 punishments! it was a bad bad day!
We are throwing around going camping since its a 3 day weekend, but its still awfully rainy out and it gets cold at night.
Morining all,
Well my girlfriend called and told me she would take my kids for the day and I could do whatever I wanted. So I am going to take a good long walk/run, go get my toes done and eybrows waxed. My DH comes home tomorrow and so i want to be beautiful upon his return.
Well I am not sure what the scale is going to say this week. I am feeling really bloated and with my cousin in town we went out again last night. This time I opted for the salad, but you know salads out are not the same as at home. But still a better choice since we went to crab shack joes.
But I am still on the hunt for the title. I am going to get some good workouts in this weekend, cuz I got my housework done. Sorry for the ramblings.
Check back in later,
Love
Hey everyone! I hope everyone is having a great day!
I got a lot done on my dissertation yesterday, so I am hoping for another productive day! DH and spent the morning running errands, but I hope to have a good afternoon of work!
Lindsey, you sound so busy! Congrats to your brother, I am sure his speech will be great!
Amber, I am sure you loss will show up next week. I don't think I am going to have much of a loss this week either, I expect to stay about the same - but watch out next week!
Melissa, yeah, a bike! I am waiting for mine to come in (I have a rain check on a sale from last week). I can't wait! You will be racking up the miles for out game. Maybe you can help catch us up! I am sure some good biking will get off some of that bloat.
Love, you sound like you have a great day planned!!! Enjoy yourself, you deserve it!
I will check back in later, everyone have a great day!!!
UGH!! Sorry I didnt come back for personals this morning! TOM is kicking my butt! I'm going to do a little research and then call a GYN about this. Has anyone ever heard of that procedure you can have done for heavy periods? I literally cannot go anywhere the first day or 2 because its so bad (sorry I know this is getting to be TMI) All I did this morning was lay on the couch, I was completely wiped out. whine whine whine! LOL!
Its a beautiful day and I was hoping to get out there today and do something, lawn needs mowed again too...doesnt look like its gonna happen, maybe tomorrow though.
I hope everyone is having a much better day today!!
Sorry all, had to go to Florida again, as my moms sick and have tried to stay on my program. I think the flights and heat down there made me hold some fluid. I will go post my last 2 days of exercise on other thread. Kathy
Morning all,
Just a quick post before the little people wake up. Looks like a whole bunch of PMSing going on here this week. I hope everyone feels better.
Melissa-I used to have really heavy periods, but since I've been working out not so much so. But I also have fibroids. Has your GYN checked that out? i know that can be one cause of heavy flow. Get some rest and take a good multi vitamin, or some iron, drink lots of water and cut back on the salt if possible. I've had problems with my cycle for so long, I'm just giving all of the advice I've been given.
Chairty-WTG on getting so much work done. I know that can be challenging with kids and a husband. But it sounds like your doing a good job. Hope fully it will be a producive weeknd for you as well.
Amber-Don't feel bad, at least it wasn't a gain. So you were able to maintain.
Kathy-Sorry to hear about your mother. I hope things start improveing for you. But at least you still tried to make healthy choices in spite of everything going on. That's Great!
Hey Danielle-Girl, what are you doing? I know you can do this. You and Bob better get together this week before you go to Cali. Do you have his latest book. He's got some fantastic recipies in there.
Well I am going to go so i can pick up the house before Dh's flight gets in. i want him to think that i got so much accomplished while he was gone...
EDIT: Got tons of housework done, and I was down 2 pounds to 172.6! That makes a total of 32 for the journey. SOOO I am going to change my ticker. Now I've lost more than I have to loose. YIPPEE!
Love
Thanks everyone for all of your replies while I was gone. Finally, after a busy, busy week I'm back at home, all alone except for my 3 cats. DBF left for Austin this morning so I finally have some time to do a whole lotta nothing (which for me means cleaning, catching up on internet, etc.). Today when I stepped on the scale I hit the over 50 lbs lost mark, which made me very happy. For the past week, whenever someone asked me how much I've lost, I just rounded up to 50, because I was so close, so it's good to finally feel "official"... haha. In theory, I should have a lot more time to spend around here now that things are more quiet, so let's hope that pans out like I think it will. Tomorrow or Wednesday they're testing the smoke alarms and sprinklers in my apartment complex so that means that I have to smuggle the kitties over to my mother's house for the night. I'm not going to stay cooped up in the house for two days waiting for them to show up. They asked us to close our pets up in a bathroom, but when I asked if they were going to go in there (our kitten Gus is FAST and we already spent 2 hours looking for him outside in the middle of the night when he was darting around our building), they said that they were and I should lock him up in a kennel. I can't lock my cat up in a kennel all day! I don't have a huge dog crate, just the pet taxi carrier I use to bring them to the vet in... argh.
Anyway, since I'm so far behind I'm not even going to attempt to do personals, but mark me down for an honest effort in keeping up from now on. Hope everyone is staying OP and having a great day!
Hi all -- Thank goodness I finally posted a loss, although I feel like I should be much farther along by now. I'll keep trying though, I'm still aiming for 2lbs per week, and anything more than that would be a bonus. Even to make that though, would be a huge victory for me.
I hope you are all keeping well and better and keeping motivated than I am!
Hi Lindsey! How exciting for your brother! You must be so proud 
I wasn't perfect OP this week, but I know what I need to work on to get better 
So that's what I'm doing this week.
