Good evening...Just checking in - there is no way I can keep up with these threads!

I am still going to boot camp and it is still kicking my butt. It is good, though, a good butt-kickin'. I weigh in in the morning. Honestly, I am not expecting a huge loss...it has been a stressful week. My husband's summer job fell through and we REALLY need for him to have some income this summer...please keep that in your prayers. Anyway, as long as I have a loss I will be happy! :)

Have a great couple of days!

Tonia - sorry that your husband's summer job fell through. As someone living off her savings at the moment, I do understand. :hug: I hope he finds something soon.

Anne, thanks for your thoughtful support.

To all with job worries: :hug: , and add me to the list. I've been looking for a job for months now. I'm very stressed over the situation.

Again, can anyone fill me in on the extra $$ for crunches challenge?

I can't keep up with the challenges inside the challenge or the personals right now, but in a week or two things will be different! That being said, I am 100% on plan and losing weight and inches still. :carrot:

Well, this may surprise you, but I hate to analyze books, too! I just love to read them and I love to listen to other people analyze them but I feel extremely inadequate when I have to analyze them myself. All through school, I had such anxiety over my critical theory essays. I only got A's on a few papers, the rest were B's or B+s. You are lucky that you are good at math. I think a lot of people suck at it, myself included. It takes a special person to be good at it!

SoulBliss: hang in there! The end is nigh!

Beth: Thanks, it totally was a huge relief. We actually weren't planning on moving until July 1st, but this place was perfect and we couldn't resist! Good luck on your search, I'm sure you will find something just right. :)

KimL: good luck!

To all......
Well, we made it! It's friday! I have a special reason to celebrate, I am done with classes at SDSU finally and forever! SJSU here I come! With finding the apartment, and also a summer job, and graduation, I feel like the universe is making things fall into place and everything will be okay. I'm a little nervous because the apartment is more than we can afford: we might have to charge our groceries until my student loans come in in the Fall, but it is worth it to have our own place to live. I keep looking at the pictures of our new place, I'm so excited. I called today and got the utilities set up. Here I come!!! No exercise to speak of, I test weighed myself today (tomorrow is my weigh in day) and I was up by less than a pound. That may change tomorrow though because we ate at Pick Up Stix for dinner.

Sleep with the gods!

btw, I don't think my new place will allow bbq's. My old standby for easy dinners is grilled chicken with salad. How long/at what temp do you bake boneless skinless chicken breasts?

Just want to check in. I'm in Denver for a conference and busy until Tuesday, but I've kept my pedometer on and have been hoofing it on the sidewalks as much as I can. Hopefully when I get back I can catch up with everyone - on a new thread maybe???

Hello... I'm about to go to sleep now... Today was kinda off schedule...I usually work out while my DD takes a nap but she slept in the car as I needed to go buy couple of things. So I didn't have time for that. By the time she went to bed, I felt so...kinda disgusting. This weekend is supposed to be my TOM, I think that had something to do with it, too. But it's been awhile since I haven't had any workout and it just didn't feel right. I was also hungry but just didn't feel like eating. Then I crabbed some cake my bf made and it surely made me feel better. It's weird to feel weird and even disgusted about not working out because I used to HATE working out. . .
Well, after my DD fell asleep for the night, I went for a walk to CVS with my bf. Then after that, I did about 55 minutes of TransFirmation. Now I feel SOOO much better.
Well, my DD's daycare is going to a zoo tomorrow so I sure will be able to walk a lot which will be great. I better get going so I can at least get some sleep and then make some lunch for the field trip.

Heya all - just wanted to check in. I go to the doctor's today for the first time since I started Weight Watchers. She was the one pushing me to go, and I hope she'll be proud of 20 or so pounds that I've lost. I know I am.

Staja, she will be SO proud of you!!! :cp: GREAT job!!!

Is there a thread for pics this time? I think I am ready to share a pic. :eek:

Good morning everyone!

I'm feeling frisky enough today to go for a walk. I feel like I'm starting over with the exercise part of my plan. Better late than never though, right?

Staja, I have a doctor's appointment this coming Tuesday and hope I will have lost some weight from on year ago. This is a yearly gynecological exam and I honestly don't remember what I weighed last year. All I do know is that I continued to gain weight as the year progressed and I didn't begin Weight Watchers until March 25th of this year. I'm sure your doctor will be very excited for your weight loss!!!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Hello, everyone :)
Just wanted to check in.

Last two weeks were awful for me :( first I got terrible cold and felt very weak and ate a lot of honey, and when I finally got better, TOM was there :( I have terrible college situation, ton of exams, and I was totally off plan :(

good thing is, I haven't gained any weight :) but still, I feel like a failure, because I could lose at least 5 pounds and I didn't :(

Oolong: I think it's great that you didn't gain any weight! I know how you feel though, I just weighed in and was up .06 lbs from last week. I felt like I did okay, I averaged 1759 cals, which should have still given me atleast a 1 lb weight loss. I didn't do much exercise, though, and I ate waaaay too much salt and didn't drink enough water. So, I am going to try to do things right this week and look for a better number. Maybe you will have a better week, too.

Hello to everyone else! I am happy to say.......
:carrot: :bravo::cp::cb::hat::dance::high::encore::woohoo:: cheer3::cheer2::congrat::broc::cheer:
.......that I am officially done with my undergraduate program! Yesterday, I turned in my last bit of work for classes and now all that is left is graduation (next Friday). I am sooooo happy and excited. I'm worried about graduation, though...I already didn't lose any weight this week, I am afraid of next week. I've got out of town guests that I am cooking for this next week, I tried to make it healthy stuff but I also wanted to make it as cheap as possible so I don't know. Then going to Seaworld for a day. Then my graduation party but that will be okay because I am making all the food and making sure it's healthy for the most part. Then we are going to the zoo, which will possibly be more bad food choices. I am going to try not to gain any weight but I am worried.

Have a great day everyone!

trooworld: bake chicken at 350 for about half an hour or so..depending on if you are cooking it alone or in a casserole.

btw, I, too, have considered going to grad school in the Library Media program. I love the idea, actually, but I am not quite ready to go back to school...best of luck to you, though!
