Thank you, Fit and Dea. I know this will be a wild winter if we are all sick already. I hate that! Hate seeing the kids feel so bad. (And Bryan and I are so worn out and sick on top of that now we just wanna fall over and stay there sometimes. LOL. ) Just sucks. Thanks for the well wishes.
Hopefully we will all be back to normal ASAP!
I don't want to eat, I can say that. I'm having about 1000 cals a day and forcing that. Can't taste. I should be happy! LOL. Well, only about 900 now and it's late at nite. Bryan is bringing me home some stuff that will be about 240 cals. So that'll round it out ok. Making myself exercise because I want to hit my goal so bad.
What is this 'baby food' diet that was talked about on TV recently? Jennifer Aniston did it? (I'm Sooooo not one to follow fad diets, so no worries here.) Just nosy to see what other 'miracle' they think they've found! LOL. Baby food is just real foods with no additives. Good for anyone! Ha! :cough, sneeze, cough: Uggh. Gotta get sleep.
Nite!!
I've been avoiding posting here because when I do, often no one responds so I feel invisible or ignored and it seems like there's no point to putting myself out there if I am not being received or responded to.
I pop in here when I get a work break, which doesn't last long. I enjoy reading each and every post, but I don't always have time to respond to everyone. SoulBliss, I do enjoy reading your posts. Please don't take it personally that you don't always get individual responses.
Today is the first day this week that I feel clear aheaded and alive. The sinus issues were really making me feel sluggish and foggy. We went to church again last night and I found out that they have weight loss group that meets on Wednesdays. I'm going to look into the plan they are doing and see if its for me. They said I can still do Southbeach, but use this as encouragement and accountability. It might be nice to combine my weight loss journey with my spiritual journey. I also found out yesterday that I will be going to Minnesota for three days in November and two days in December for training. I will have to buy a winter coat and some warmer business clothes. I've been telecommuting from home for the last 8 years and I have no dressier clothes. I really want to lose some more weight before I go clothes shopping, so I'm using this as motivation. Plus, I will finally get to meet one of my co-workers. I can't wait to meet her face-to-face, but I hate doing it when I'm so heavy. This is a biggie for me....I always feel so self-conscious. So, I will do all I can to lose as much as possible before November.....but, I'll keep it healthy!
Aud - Put the universe down and slowly back away.....Now, go get some exercise! Soon2BFit - Hope you and your family start feeling much better soon.
Hope everyone has a great on-plan day! Go Blue!

Good morning ladies! Well I have to say, I feel like I am starting to move in the right direction again! My head feels like it's back in this! I am starting to journal my food again. I have to say when I journal my food it is a sure way for me to have consistent weight-loss! I just got lazy! Yesterday I didn't get to do my video, but I did go for a nice 4.5 mile power walk with my SIL! It was so nice out yesterday, and it felt good to be in the fresh air! I'm so excited....my mom is taking my 3 kids for the weekend so Kev and I have 2 days all to ourselves! I'm not even sure what were doing yet, but to be honest I could care less. Just to have some alone time with him is great! I'm hoping though if the weather is nice this weekend to load up the bikes and hit the bike trail! Today I am going to start my cleaning....that way I don't have to do it over the weekend! I'm looking forward to a weekend of just relaxing and hanging out with Kev! Today not sure what kind of exercise I'll get in...maybe another walk with my SIL! I may see if she wants to go this afternoon when the little guys go to school! Food is healthy....I made a nice big salad last night! So that is about it for me! Really hoping for a good loss this week! Have a fantastic day ladies....PS tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!!
Aud said it before I could! I just wanted everyone to know that I'm taking a freebie week. I had a really bad crash and burn yesterday and I need the extra time to get my body back where it should be before I even step on a scale. Low Carb is awesome--but when you big-time cheat, you put on a TON of weight in glycogen/water (for me, it's to the tune of about 8 pounds in general...).
I put the Universe down--I'm sure Aud's on her way to do that, too--if she hasn't already
Take control of how you feel. When you awaken in the morning, spend a couple of minutes assessing your body. Think about the day ahead. Find the positive aspects in everything you have to do. If nothing comes to mind, decide on one small thing you can do for yourself to bring some joy into the day.
So far I'm still at the same weight. Hate the weeks when I don't lose but I know it's inevitable. Everyone will have those weeks. And the week b4 TOM will always be bad for me but I'll weigh in early or at the last minute to try not to show it on the weigh in. Not as frustrated as I thought I'd be at not losing. I guess because I haven't gone off plan at all so I know it's out of my control. My body is changing though. I measure myself every Thursday a.m. This week I'm only down 1/4 of an inch in my bicep and my chest (below my boobs, which aren't much anyway! LOL) but I feel stronger and that's what is making me happy right now. I'm down about 31 inches all over now though, compared to my highest.
I want strength!!! My two kids are small and I want 2 more so I know I'll need a ton of energy every day. I need to get this weight off. No ifs, ands or big butts about it! LOL.
You all are really a motivation to 'watch'. I love getting ideas from you all and reading about your frustrations. Really helps me see I'm not the only one.
And Bliss, I do read your posts and I really enjoy them too. I never left you out on purpose. When I write to each person, it's usually whoever posted in the last several there. Big hugs!
Hey guys......so I do not think that I am really going to have a loss this week. I have not had much time for anything except cleaning and packing.....I will finally be able to arrive back into the states on the 13th of Oct! Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!
Work is pretty blah and my internet is still not working here properly.
Selina - I haven't changed it yet but thanks for the reminder.
I did put up the next destination in the exercise challenge. So far we are in the lead by 7 minutes! So make sure you exercise and post your minutes asap cause we keep getting beat by the black team posting one hour before us!
Well my internet is about to fail again so I gotta run! I'll be back on when I get to class tonight!
I'm a night shifter/night exerciser so can't Post the minutes until 3-4am Central. And yepper-b-beppers, azzie - I'm resolved to get back on track - also have downgraded the alarm from eating the UNIVERSE - to just eating a GALAXY!
Beamed out of that BS and back on track - will w/i tomorrow to see the damage/decide if I need to burn a freebie then. Love ya az - we can and ARE doing this!
Tx for the inspiration soontbfchickie! AND the wake-up order GirlyGS! Needed both!
Yesterday was a disaster on so many levels . . . DID get my abs and push ups (proper form all in a row - beyond amazing if you all could have seen me on Day 1!!! Not pretty! lol) Anyhoo . . . keeping that going amid the chaos was a tiny light - determined to keep the Exercise Groove going regardless of my emotional bingeing, ya know?
I'm doing wayyyyyyyyyy better on my water intake today. Kinda am scared that I've been dehydrated this last week. Hope just bc I'm drinking more today that I won't show a gain tomorrow. Hmmm. Guess it doesn't matter since I need the dang water.
Today is day 33 OP! Wonder if I'll hit the 100 day mark??? Any bets? I'll be honest if I fall off the wagon! LOL
Well hope you all are having a great day!! Don't forget to post your minutes so we can win the challenge flight!!! Post them as soon as you are able!!!
Whew, I don't know about you guys, but I can sure use a restful weekend! This week has been rough...trying to get that project finished and trying to stay on-plan with this sinus stuff. I mentioned to Hubby last night that I've just felt horrible this week. Every time I turn around, I have another darn headache. I was thinking something was very very wrong. This morning, I get the coffee out of the cabinet and happen to look at the bag...decaffeinated??!! I've been unintentionally withdrawing from caffeine this week. No wonder I've felt so rough. I enjoy my morning cups, so I found some regular coffee in the cabinet and I'm enjoying a cup right now. Wonder if I'll feel like the energizer bunny today?
Yesterday, stayed 100% on plan and actually did my 60 minutes on the treadmill. Today, I plan on making this another on-plan day and I plan on getting 60 more minutes of exercise. Hopefully, I still have time to make the scales drop before Monday.

Good morning ladies! Well yesterday was a great OP day for me food and exercise wise! My poor little guy has a really bad chest cold, and now we have begun the breathing treatments at home! I feel so bad for him! He sounds like a seal, barking when he coughs! He really won't eat anything and if he does it really upsets his stomach and usually ends up coming back up! So, no school today for him! It is going to be mommy snuggle time this afternoon! The kids are supposed to go with my mom tomorrow, so I hope with a day of breathing treatments he'll be feeling better...the treatments usually clear him up pretty quick! Selinahow is your family doing? This must be the time of year for chest colds! I know here the weather is so goofy! One day it's hot and the next day it's cold, not good for asthma! So today is finish cleaning this morning and then relaxing with Kyle this afternoon! Hopefully Kev and I will still be able to go out this weekend, but we'll have to see! Not sure what exercise I'll get in today, but eating will be OP! Have a great weekend girls! Oh yeah to us for winning this leg of the exercise challange! Keep it up girls! Have a good day ladies!
Thanks for asking, Tina. I think we are worse. Thank God my two oldest are still doing ok. The 2 babies are still sick and one baby isn't. Hope he can stay that way. Sorry to hear your son has it now. Hope he's better soon and you and dh get to go out this wkend!
I can't believe I haven't even lost a half pound...????? I haven't eaten over my limit. And not a day has gone by when I haven't exercised, some days less or more than others but still. Doesn't make sense. I guess time will tell.
Thanks Rhonda. It's nice to see someone has faith in me! One thing that keeps me going is that I'm scared I'll be old and still be heavy and since my wrists are already not strong enough I can't imagine not being able to get myself in and out of the bathtub, etc. LOL. It really is a problem to be too heavy. And as I age, I really feel it. Just reminds me that if I'm 100 lbs less than b4, I'll be able to do more and for longer. You know? Sorry to hear you had decaf all week. That sucks! LOL. Hope you feel better now!
We won this last one? Good! Was wondering. No time to check it all now. Babies are everywhere and want everything! LOL.
Have a great day and wish me luck that I show a loss of some kind soon!
) Just sucks. 
Thanks for the well wishes.
