Hey teammates! Thought I'd stop by and say hi! I'm going to make it quick though as I still feel like cr@p and look like Rudolph with my bright red nose. I am down 3 pounds for the week, and that is with TOM so I am super excited about that. I don't have much of an appetite today as I can't smell a darn thing but have been thirsty beyond believe and have drank enough water and juice to last me all week long! Surprised I'm not floating away yet, that'll probably come tonight! I hope everyone has a great weigh in today...looking through the posts I don't see how we could not be team of the week this week We are rockin' da house!
My Goodness-you all sound FIRED UP! I tried to eat better today but I ended dinner with M&Ms! Yikes. My daughter measured them for me but they still have too many calories. So tomorrow will be better. I did run for 30 minutes on the treadmill after work today. I love exercising everyday. Yesterday I was at the Y for two hours for both Pilates and Zumba. I am finally feeling stronger. I am going to try to use higher weights at body sculpting tomorrow. Right now I only use 5 lb weights and a 12 pound body bar. Last summer I used mostly 8 lb weights and a 15 pound bar. I have never been real strong even when I was younger but I hope to get back to where I was last summer. I also used to run on the treadmill at 5.6 now I am all the way down to 4.4. Waah. I know why. I lost momentum after band camp (we were co-directors last year also, it is a two year stint) and just didn't exercise enough. Just need to keep on keepin on!
Cats-Good job at the SIL. Sounds delicious and you did it the right way.
Tina-Sorry about the eye. Hope you get better soon.
Hun E B- I am glad you are able to find time to come here. You are one busy mom. It will be worth it when you are all done with school. I have an accounting degree. I work for a small business doing the books using Quickbooks.
Laura-Hang in there. Just look at all the great things you are doing running and the many wise food choices you make each day.
Andi18-Sorry you are not well. Hope you feel better soon. Congratulations on the weight loss.
Jasmine-Sorry your job is making you miserable. I hope things improve for you and in the meanwhile it never hurts to just look around for something else, right?
Sugar N Spice-Congrats on losing 2.5 pounds. Awesome.
Counting-Great job not eating the desserts at church. You picked the good stuff. I found out the other day I could have alcohol on Sunday and still fulfill my Lenten obligation. So I had some yesterday and guess what-it wasn't near as good as I remebered it. Funny huh? Congratulations on your continuing weight loss. I hope I catch up with you someday.
Cassie- Way to Go losing 3.5 pounds this week. WooHoo. You may make that Easter goal after all. If not, you alot closer now!
QUOTE=ksk571;2093076]This just cracked me up! Is it Extra gum? And while you're chewing it do you tell everyone around you that it's only 5 calories per stick? (This of course won't make sense to those of you who don't watch TBL show)[/QUOTE]
Yeap! I am getting paid under the table to mention this. Just kidding! But I probably had a subliminal message from that show to chew gum.
SceneStealer: Thanks for the support. I agree! At least I’m not going up and I know I can tell my body is changing. And I didn’t say this in my last post, but I was thinking that you could beat any of the contestants on BL as far as stamina goes.
SpiderMonkey: I’ve never did the program, but I like the shakes okay. Just look at the sugar content though. It has been awhile since I had these.
ShyMoment: I love the books. Spent the whole summer reading all the books. Very good. They are much better than the movie, but I’ve never sat through the movie yet. I’ll need to rent them, when I have more time to watch. My kids rarely let me watch a movie. So, how did you like it?
Cathy: That has happened to me before. That’s why I write in Word, and then copy and paste. Plus this helps me to do all the personals.
Idealmuse: Great job on the weight loss. I need to get my bike out. Thanks for the idea.
Cassie501: Great job on your pounds loss. That is great. And you never know, you may still hit your goal. But if you don’t, you are still heading in the right direction.
Terapet: That’s a great idea about getting your son to go to the Y with you. Great job on all that exercise.
Tina30: Congrats on the weight loss. That does sound like Pink Eye. Hope that you start feeling better.
SugarNSpice: Thanks for your support and prayers. Have a great day!
SkinnyVibes: I love bike riding too. But I do wish the seats weren’t so small. My butt always hurt for days afterwards.
HuneB: Hello! Glad you are surviving all that work. Congrats on the loss.
JL Bake: San Diego is a great place. I bet it is a great place for field trips.
Andi18: Congrats on the loss, and I hope you start feeling better.
Hello everyone. I did pretty good today. After my kids finished school work, we went to the beach. I took my jogger stoller to the beach. Let me tell you: That was one heck of a work out --- pushing a jogger stroller on the beach. I am already feeling the soreness in my legs. I am even sure my upper body will feel it by tomorrow. I would like to do that at least once a week. We had a great time, and my kids got in the water again. Still too cold for me. I can't even keep my 14 month old out of the water.
Quick Flyby to say hello and keep up the magnificent work team! So many wonderful losses this week. We leave for Chicago tomorrow and I don't know if/when I will have Internet access. Thanks to all that helped with my wardrobe crisis. I will finish packing in a few minutes and I think I have the perfect clothes for the trip. I will try to get some pictures of the dinner cruise if I can - speaking of which - I need to go pack my camera.
Have a great week! You guys ROCK!
Ladies: I hope it is okay to ask it here. As some may recall, I had talked about my mother-in-law's breast cancer coming back. She finished Chemo and had the cancerous lymph node removed last month. The results came back and the surgeon said that the cancer has entered the blood stream. She goes to see her oncologist on Tuesday. Right now, I am a little (a lot) worried. I spent hours and hours last night searching the net. Of course this just scared me. I shouldn't have done this, until we had more answers from the oncologist. She is more like a mom to me than a MIL. My mom passed away about 9 years ago, so this is just tearing me up. So my request is: Could you please say a prayer for her. I do believe in Miracles. I also believe there is a PLAN. Hopefully the plan is for her to be around for a very long time, so please pray for her. Thanks and God Bless!
Your MIL will be in my thoughts and prayers. When I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2005 I was devestated. I joined a thyca support group and it was the worst thing I could do. All the talk about all the bad things that COULD happen is NOT what I needed to hear. Stay away from the internet and just be positive. I am a firm believer of positive thinking, it helped me get through one of the toughest times of my life. I came through cancer free and i'm hoping the best for your MIL. Positive thoughts and be there for her! XOXO
Sorry I've been MIA for a few days. My weekend was very busy and very fun. I managed to stay OP while going out with some couple friends and DBF. YAY me!! It was such a good time and quality time with DBF, I think we all laughed for like 3 hours straight. I needed that!
I lost another 1.6lbs this week. Because my WW meeting was cancelled LAST week due to snow, I received my 10% key chain Saturday as well as my 25lb magnet. My mom got her 25lb magnet too and we have them both up on the fridge! How exciting!!!
I did my 60 min cardio kickboxing tonight and i'm doing really well now. I measured myself again this weekend and I lost another 5 inches for a total of 20" lost. I am on a roll ladies, and i'm not stopping anytime soon! :-)
DBF is moved into his apartment now and it's only been a few days. WE had a great weekend together and it's weird how him being an hour away and not seeing him every day makes me realize just how wonderful he truly is. I think our times together while he is long distance, are going to be much more meaningful and we will enjoy eachother more. Then in a year or two, we will move in together. Right now we have two totally different agenda's and that's okay, because when we reach our goals, we will come together again and be totally stronger in our lives, our success and our relationship!
I am so behind in posts that I can't even imagine doing personals right now. I'll be better at posting daily this week. I hope you are all doing great and congrats on any losses that were posted this week. Keep up the great work red team!
Okay!! I can come up for air!! I'm so glad too because I feel completely disconnected from you guys and I know that has ALOT to do with why I had such a horrible week last week. Even though I did post a loss there is no reason for it. And before anyone says maybe I didnt do as bad as I think lemme just tell ya...bacon cheeseburger, french fries w/ ranch dressing, alcohol, cheesecake, movie candy, carrot cake, chili cheese dog, macaroni and cheese, gosh thats all I can remember right now but I know there is more!
Oh my goodness woman! BAD girl. Hold out your hand and lemme pop it. I'm glad after all that you managed a loss though, isn't that weird when that happens? lol! Miss ya girly! Everytime I go to practice w/Matt and see your look-a-like, I miss you.
Tina, I hope your eye get's better fast. I used to get pink all the time in my early 20's. it was such a pain and it hurt.
Laura, I have been converted to The Daily plate to count my calories & Fitness. I'm hooked! It offers so much more than fitday. I love it!
Sounds like the red team is still rocking it! Congratz on all the losses!
Melissa: OMIGOD girl. If I ate all those things today, I would totally puke. LOL. I ate one of DS's onion rings when we went out to Uno's and I felt sick. And that was only one! You must have felt like crap! Amazing that you still pulled off a loss after all that. Well I hope that you did feel awful eating that (no offense, only for your benefit) and that you'll get right back on the wagon. XOXO
Andi: That is a great loss. Sorry you feel like crap, but glad that you had a great loss this week! Feel better soon...(((healthy vibes)))
Counting: Enjoy your trip. Can't wait to see pictures!
We are rockin' da house!
