Manda- I get the same way about crowds, don't feel bad. Hopefully the crowd will thin out soon for you- that is why I hated my last gym, there were just way too many people- ALL THE TIME. Hopefully you can figure out when the insane crowd times are and try to avoid them- thats what I do.
Morning! Is it Friday yet? Having to stay later at work must be kicking my butt. It kinda puts a kink in the whole evening. After I get off work then I have to go pickup DD where ever shes at, and of course shes never ready to go. After I get home then I got to make supper. I hate eating after 9. Last night I ate at 9 and was in bed reading by 9:30, asleep by 10. I hope they find a replacement soon! Anyways enough of the complaining. I'm getting ready to spend time with Bob this morning.
Londonjulz, I don't know what I did wrong, but actually I had weighed in, and a day ahead of schedule at that...I really don't know what I did wrong...if I forgot to save or what....but I am in the game and the 1.5 lbs I lost this week will just end up going on to next week I guess....
No worries, Heather! You are definitely still in the game!!! Plus, your weigh in this week will reflect your loss from this past week and next week!
I thought MILF meant Mother In law free, LOL! Shows how much I know!
Anywho, I am staying on track foodwise. No exercise yesterday. I somehow pulled a muscle in my back on Sunday doing laundry, and I guess I aggravated it on Monday by exercising, so yesterday it hurt pretty bad. still hurts a little this moring too, so I dunno if I'll get any in. Maybe a WATP or something. calories have been anywhere from 1100 to 1550, so I am good there. I haven't been arounf too much because we are still struggling with money and the dang car issue and it's really just pissing me off so I am moody.
So sad about Heath Ledger. He was so young with a daughter and such a promising career. I have always enjoyed his movies.
Good Morning,
I am so proud of how well we all did in this challenge! Im sure next week is going to be even better!
As for me, I seem to be slacking, I don't understand how 1 minute I can be so determined and motivated, to the next minute thinking why bother im never going to be able to do this.
I never even worked out yesterday, but when my husband gets home from the gym today, I am going to hop on the treadmill and atleast do 30 minutes,
I really don't want to give up, and I don't want to let my team down...
why is weight so easy to come on and so hard to come off.....
Good morning everyone! I am headed back to the Y in about an hour. Mikella is going to meet me there during his lunch break so we can try to work out together. He got upset with me for leaving last night. I guess I shouldn't react that way. I just couldn't figure out the stupid machine. Here's to hoping that there are less people today.
Melissa-Don't give up. It is hard but anything worth doing is hard. I know that you can do it.
Diva-I am sorry that you are having money issues. We always seem to have money issues too.
It was sad about Heath Ledger. Do they know what happened yet?
Did anyone watch TBL last night? I was so glad to see the pink team go!
Good Morning Everyone. Not much to report on my end today. No baby yet. Disappointed in the results from TBL last night. Hoping to get the family room finished this weekend so I can go buy an eliptical. I can't wait for that!! I'm off work tomorrow but no big plans other than to go to yoga class tomorrow night. Pretty boring otherwise. I'll pop back in later. Stay focused on your goals!!!
Manda - I would highly recommend that you splurge and buy a session or two with a personal trainer. They can show you around all of the machines and get you comfortable on what to do when you go. It really is worth it if you can afford it.
Julz – Enjoy your day off with your family!
Melissa – Motivation is highly overrated. Most of what keeps me on track is routine.
The thing about Heath Ledger is really tragic. I just finished watching Roar (a very short lived TV show he did when he was young) and it is just so hard to imagine that young man so full of life dead.
I had dinner with a friend last night. We went to the Cheesecake Factory, but I did great. I ordered the Thai lettuce wrap appetizer for my meal and added a side of snow peas and other veggies cooked without oil. She is someone I met at the gym, and when we were both going she had lost around 50 pounds on Medifast. She couldn't afford it any more, stopped, and has since gained all the weight back. She spent a good part of the dinner talking about how trapped she feels, how frustrated, upset, etc. over her weight - all while drinking a regular coke and eating pasta with cream sauce. The thing is, I can't criticize her because I have been that person. I wish so much that I knew what to say to someone to help them get to their click moment, but I don't.
When I got home I got one of my 1099's for my student loan interest. I almost fell over when I saw the amount I paid in interest vs. principal for the year. It was shocking. The very first thing I did? I turned and opened the refrigerator door. I quickly closed it again, but it was very interesting that that was my first reaction.
I did skip the gym last night for my dinner out, but it was somewhat for the best because on Monday I did tons of lunges and my quads are still hurting today! I hobbled down the stairs this morning. I need to figure out how to not overwork my legs so much. I will just have to work through it tonight.
I'm just sick about Heath Ledger. He was SO CUTE!!!
After my higher than expected weight loss on Monday I've been misbehaving. Too much wine, 3 enchiladas at my mother's last night. Came home and worked out an additional 48 minutes watching TBL.
One of my goals for this challenge is to show a loss every single week. For me that will be tough when TOM comes to visit.
My mantra for today is: Keep your head down, stay focused, and KEEP MOVING!!!
My niece is getting married on 2/2/08. I decided last night to make her a quilt. Better get to the fabric store!!!
Diva - mother in law free! Somedays that would not be a bad tshirt either!
How is team black doing??? Just got in from a 4 mile run. Did NOT want to do it, and then I thought of all the cute outfits I bought for my cruise next week and that got my (growing smaller) a$$ in gear! I better get it in now, bc I am giving myself leeway next week to eat and drink some naughty things!!!! And as appealling as an outdoor track on a cruise ship is, my Nike's could very well stay packed in my suitcase
I'm supposed to weigh in tomorrow and I have no idea what to expect. Today I was actually under my WW points, but a lot of days I was over. My eating is still better than it was by far before the challenge. I may have to postpone the weigh-in till Friday.
3littleones: I could have written that post. A couple of days this week I felt sure I was wasting my time and wanted to just quit. Then today I had no problem and was under my calorie range (not that I recommend that, it just worked out that way). This is all such a mind game!
Karma: Thanks for the kick, but I may need another one! Still no exercise!

you can run on the cruise missy-sue. but yippee on the run! i ran three miles yesterday. at the gym. too damn cold to run outside this week. this weeks goal: going to hit the gym 7-days in a row and then I'm rewarding myself and scheduling a massage.
