Oh Tina...when it rains it pours huh? Gosh I hope its nothing! My youngest had a little boy in her class that got completely covered in some rash, it was all under his clothes but goodness I felt so bad for the little guy, and they never did know what caused it (I know his mother) I hope this is nothing serious. Just a little heatrash!
Cat..EXCELLENT JOB on that workout lady!! No way did you gain 2 lbs just a little bloat thats all! Sodium will get ya! Keep fighting and winning!
Hi Ladies!
Hope all is well with everyone! just stopping in to say hi. I also want to express my frustration with big losses. I think they are sooo annoying because when ever I have a big losses I always gain back the next time I WI. It is so frustrating. Oh well hopefully I will be back down by my WI tomorrow. We are going to the Sioux Game in Grand Forks this weekend tomorrow actually so wish me luck on being good with the alcohol options. HA! Have a great weekend team!
Going away this weekend so I am busy busy getting things together. Will be back later. Glad to see most are doing well. Those that are having a rough time with their eating just keep telling yourself. Nothing tastes as good as thin feels. Oh, while you are telling yourself that put all that junk you have in the house in the trash or down the garbage disposal lol.
Hey team! just a quick drive by to say hi. I'm still not feeling the greatest and my workouts have been minimal this week...I haven't been able to sleep at night so the last thing I want to do is go to the gym. I am planning on starting back up tomorrow morning though as most of my congestion is finally gone! The only thing that will be keeping me away from the gym is my cough and if I don't get any sleep tonight. I'm definitely not getting Jillian's recommended 8 hours of sleep a night this week...in the last 3 nights I've gotten a total of about 9 hours due to waking up coughing. Tonight will be much different I hope!
Good evening Red team! AF arrived today and i've got cramps from ****! I thought I was gonna throw up in the grocery store they were so strong. And then i got weird flashies in my eyes. Feeling a bit better now.
I spent the whole day cleaning my house. Its pretty good, just need to finish the kitchen and my room is now a disaster but I can live with it I think...for a day or 2 anyway LOL!
tonight my oldest is having a slumber party. I took down their beds and just threw the mattresses on the floor and put up some sheer curtains so it looks like an arabian tent in there. Gave them a cooler and all their snacks and we went to rent movies. Hopefully they'll all stay in there all night! LOL!
Have a good one everyone I'm headed back to the couch!
Good evening ladies Well I got back here...barely! I tell ya I could of cried when Joey called me, but instead I just laughed. So I pick him up from school, and say let's see the rash...I swear to God it's excama. I gave him a benadryl and put some hydro cream on and he is just fine. Him and I did have a nice afternoon though. We went to the mall and got him some new shoes, and then to our new Super Wal-Mart. We had Subway for lunch and then just looked around there for a while. Came home and just chilled outside. The kids are really enjoying this fresh air, and so am I. I started prednasone (SP?) today and it is already helping with the swelling. FINALLY! My eye isn't watering anymore either...there is hope!LOL! Kev is at a wake tonight, his friends father passed away. So the kiddies and I are just chilling. In a bit the little ones are going to bed and I'm going to watch BootCamp...it's on VH1 with that Harvey guy. I love that show and Dustin is on it, this should be interesting. He was a real jerk last season. I hope Harvey works him extra hard Today is day 19 for me...I can't believe tomorrow will be 20 days...INSANE! I'm feeling good though. I've been working out and eating good. The only thing that could be better is water. I'm working on it though. Tomorrow Kev and I are going out for dinner with his sister and her husband. We're going for Mexican...LORD HELP ME! For real that is my favorite food, EVER! I'm going to be good though and enjoy it. I'm going to the gym tomorrow for cardio. Nothing planned for Sunday which I like. Sunday is my day to relax and go at my own pace. Hope you ladies are all doing well. Have a great weekend~
Melissa- Tell me about it...it is non-stop drama over here lately!LOL! What can ya do though?!? Sounds like you set up a neat party for your daughter. Her friends will think your the coolest mom ever Have a great weekend, and I have one word for cramps, ALEVE!
Cecil- Have fun at the game
Rennie- Enjoy your get away~
Andi- Hope you can get some sleep tonight...I hate when I wake up from a cough. It's really hard to get back to sleep. Rest up this weekend~
Not much fun. I go every couple of weeks and stay at a friends house. She can't do much for herself so I clean her house and do her laundry and then do the shopping for her and any little errands she might have.
Good Morning Ladies! My body is so strange. Last week, my weight was up 3 lbs even though I exercised and ate right (so I chose to take a freebie week). The weight gain wouldn't have bothered me too much since I knew it wasn't real, but I've been stalled at the same weight for the last several weeks despite my best efforts.
This week I've been sick like Andi (coughing all night long). I haven't exercised much because of all the congestion in my chest. Yet this week I'm not only down the 3 lbs from last week, but also an additional 1 lb. I'm very excited since I've been stuck at 182.6 for so long and now I've finally broken it. But I'm still baffled. Go figure!
Rennie--You are very kind to take care of you friend. You really make service an important part of your life. That's wonderful!
Tina--Great work on 20 days! Yay! I hope your eye is doing better. I've had pink eye before and it's no fun.
Melissa--Hope you got some sleep last night! I hope you're feeling better this morning too!
Andi--I hope you are feeling better! I sympathize with you since I've had the same stuff. I've been sick a lot during this competition and I'm ready to be healthy and stay healthy!
Cecilia--I totally get your frustration. I hope your WI goes well for you.
Roni--Hi girl! How are you and your pink shoes doing? I hope life is treating you well these days.
caskes--What is up with the scale? I don't get those weird weight gains. The same thing happened to me last week. Great job on the workouts. Just keep going!
Karen--Don't give up! Just keep going! You cannot fail as long as you keep going! Every time my weight does something strange, I want to give up and just eat anything I want. But then I think of all of you at this board and think about the commitment I made to you all. When I think about my Red Teamies, I have to keep going. Even if my overall weight loss is small, it's still a loss. If I keep going those small losses will eventually add up to a big loss.
Cathy--It sounds like you are doing great with the walking/dvds!
Terapet--I hope everything went (or goes) well with the prom party this weekend. It's really great that you are helping your son get his feet back on the ground. You are doing so well on the exercise. Yay you!
Laura-- Hi! Those girl scout cookies are killer. We're on our last days of sales here. I hope we sell out so I don't end up with lots of cookie boxes in the house. Hope you have a great weekend.
Catway8--Don't give up! Just dust off your boots and start again. Success can only come when you don't give up. You can do this girl! Hold your head up high!
Muse--How's that bike coming along? Have you had a chance to try it out yet? Someone else on the board (was it Tina?) talked about biking with her little girl in a seat on back. Between the two of you, you've got me thinking about biking with my family. The kids already have bikes so dh and I need to save up to buy ourselves bikes. You're an inspiration taking on a triathlon!
Kari--I hope your family is all feeling better! My friends keep telling me, "Just wait 'til you have teenagers!"
Danielle--We live right next door to Rancho Bernardo. We used to live in Rancho Bernardo. It's a great area for my family. I hope you're doing well!
Barbara--I hope you find a great job soon!
Emily-- Hi! Hope everything is going well!
Melissa73--You're doing awesome. I'm sure you will hit that goal by St. Patrick's Day! Yay!
Have a great weekend Ladies! You are all awesome!

Reason: typos
Hope you all are having a beautiful start to your weekend!
I am behind again in personals. The days, I swear, roll up in a blur and before I know it several have passed since I've been here!
Things are good here. I actually worked out 4x this week. 4! This is the most I have strung together in one week in a very long time. I am pretty proud of myself! I'm hoping to just run with this feeling and keep it going for as long as I can. Those of you that know me, know that I have always had a huge fear of exercise when trying to get started. Now that I'm rolling along it really feels great!!!
Alright, well I will have to come back to do personals. I've gotten the workout done, laundry started, now I've got bathrooms to clean and dusting to do. Blech!
Hi all I am really starting to get my butt in gear again and not feeling so tired lately. I am starting to feel good and have been going to the gym nearly everyday. It is starting to get easier and the eating OP thing is starting to get easier as well! hope everyone is doing great!
Good morning all! Well WW meeting this morning was weird. I posted before that I was thinking about switching from flex to core because I've hit a wall and I feel like I'm wasting time foundering again. And low and behold the meeting was all about handling bumps in the road, and how sometimes you gotta take a detour which would include switching from flex to core! And they talked all about reasons why to switch and all of it...is that a sign or what? So I switched! gonna give it a week, see how it goes and move on from there.
A very tiny little gain this morning on the scale but AF started yesterday so I'd say thats pretty darn good. I am either gonna weigh again on Monday or just take a freebie this week though, since I didnt follow plan all week I say I'm still winning this battle. And the exercise starts this week again...no matter what!! headed to the gym this morning as soon as I finish eating.
Danielle...Yay!!! I'm so proud of you for getting in that exercise! I know you were fighting it and guess what...you won!! Now that you are on that roll there is no stopping you! We've got cute clothes to fit into!!
Jen...ugh, I hope you feel better soon! My dd has that cough, I think she's trying to give it to me LOL! Way to go on your loss! That is fantastic news!
Barbara...excellent job on that exercise! And the energy is coming! The more we make those good choices the less we want to make the bad so you are just cruising now!! Keep it up!!
Tina - I was going to boycott Celebrity Fit Club this year when I saw Dustin was going to be on there. He stressed me out last time. There was nothing else on so I watched it. I think it's going to be good this time with a couple of them only needing to lose 8 or so pounds. Dustin was surprisingly subdued. We'll see if that lasts. I'm glad that Harvey is going to make him work for a second chance. That Brian Dunkleman is going to crack me up, I can tell. It's nice to see some of the people like Willie Ames who was so combative last time really want to do it right this time.
Rennie - you are a great friend!
Andi and Jen - I hope you get to feeling better soon.
Cat and Cecilia - Hang in there. Your small gains will come off in time. Just keep doing everything right.
Utah - great on the exercise!
Danielle - congrats on exercising for 4 days this week!
Melissa - I hope your daughter's slumber party was fun! It's great that all signs supported your switching to Core. Enjoy your workout today!
Tonight will be much different I hope!
