I know, I have totally lost track of personals -- so bad!! But, I think of all of you every day and especially every time I'm tempted!! You keep me in line!!
Beatiful day here -- hope everyone is having a wonderful day with nice weather and little outside aggrivations!!
Karla- I wanna eat that little guy up!!!! I don't think your weird at all...I nibble on my kids all the time They look so dang cute I can't help it sometimes~
Hey y'all....I havent posted yet and it is already 4pm!!
Not been a good food day for me--my choices have been less than stellar.
On the good side, I am going to a new dance class tonight to learn West Coast Swing. I've been doing ballroom classes for a few months and really enjoy it, but I think the swing class is going to be great!

Sorry, I was talking to Melissa lol. I have my cords hanging around my graduation picture. I worked hard for those things and I'll be darn if I ever let myself forget that lol.
I'm sorry for not posting much lately. I don't know what is wrong with me these past few days. I did pretty good on my vacation. I ate some high calorie stuff but I did alot of walking and NO snacking. I got back Tuesday night and of course we stopped for fast food. Wednesday I did a 10 minute cardio max and 30 minutes of strength training. I stayed on plan all day until dinner time came and had fast food AGAIN! Today I'm 100% on plan and I've even cut back alot of calories to try and make up for the past few nights. I didn't exercise though. I wanted to but I'm not motivated at all! I'm feeling a little depressed I guess. I've been like this since I got back. I just don't know what my problem is. I just got out of the shower a half hour ago and it took all day for me to get in there...LOL! My dishes are still in the sink and my dishwasher still needs to be emptied. I'm just not motivated to do ANYTHING! I hope I don't sound like I'm whining. I really don't have anyone else to talk to that knows what I'm going through. Does anyone else ever feel like this or am I just losing my mind?!

I entirely feel like that.
Right now as a matter of fact!
I couldn't drag my bee-hind out of bed this morning for ANYTHING.
And I know I'm going to stop and get fast food on the way home because the idea of even MICROWAVING anything to eat is just exhausting.
And then I think I will sit on my bee-hind some more and read while eating instead of cleaning, or emptying the dishwasher, or picking up puppy-poo or any of the other GIANT list of things there is to do.
I'm hoping to wake up tomorrow all fired up and ready to go because today is pretty much a write off already....
some days you just dont feel like it. i know how that is some saturdays i dont read or work on or do anything and then im fine after a day sometimes 2. dont worry it will get better. have a better end of the workweek and weekend!

Awwwwwwww Girls. What's the matter? I know I've felt like that before. Usually it's when someone has disappointed me or I've disappointed myself. (Putting on my Jillian Hat) Lonnie, I think you may have the "after vacation Blues". It sucks sometimes to have to return to "real life" and our same ole same ole routines, but it'll be ok girly! Kellybones & Lonnie, please don't let a day or two of set backs lead into an entire week. Tomorrow is a new day and a fresh start, so get up even if ya don't want to, clean up the dishes and do 30 minutes of some sort of exercise! It'll make you feel better and accomplished, I promise. Stay OP ALL day, drink lots of water to flush out the fast food, and then you can sit on the computer and veg and tell us how great ya did. (removing Jillian hat now)
HI all, it has been a busy and fast week. I really hope I get some time to get caught up with personals this weekend! I am still doing well - down below 138 today
And, I finally got my scooter - which is GREAT since gas hit $4 a gallon here I couldn't be happier with my little electric scoot!

Hey everyone~
Another OP day down- yay! I'm a little bit hungry (not bad) so I guess that's a good sign. Another thing for points in my family competition is no eating after 8 pm. Tonight we grilled steak and I made coleslaw (light on the dressing) and sliced up a canteloupe. I think the meat is keeping me feeling full.
I had no motivation to workout today, but finally drug my butt onto the treadmill at 2:45 and had an awesome 38 minute walk/run. I warm up for about 5 minutes and then run straight for about 15 minutes and then do faster intervals with running 1-2 minutes and walking for a minute several times in a row. Feels like a good workout and I am able to build up to faster speeds. I am totally soaked when I'm done so it feels like a good workout, lol.
It's the long weekend here, but no real plans aside from getting a container garden in and maybe painting some crown moulding that is 4 years coming. It's going to be hot (too hot since we really did just finish winter) so am hoping just to enjoy the outdoors and spending time as a family.
talk soon!
wkgirl-Noah is adorable! What a cutie! I too am a confessed baby nibbler (but only on my own). Your dog is sweet too. I hope you find him soon.
Jen415-West Coast Swing is a lot of fun. DH and I used to do recreational ballroom dance together. But it's been over a decade since we've taken any classes. I remember our last class because I was 8 or 9 months pregnant with our oldest. I was supposed to fall back into DH's arms. Let's just say it wasn't pretty. Pregnancy really messes with your center of gravity. We haven't been to a class since. Maybe we should try it again.
Emily-Great job on the workout and staying OP. You're doing awesome.
My feet are so tired tonight. I've been to every store in town getting the finishing touches on costumes for the kids' Shakespeare play. I could not find boy's dress shoes anywhere, but I finally found some at the last store I went to. Seriously, I was shopping for hours. And I parked the car far away and walked up and down the shopping centers. I'm off now to hem up a graduation robe for my 8 year old who will be the judge.
OMG.....SOS save me! I am so far off the wagon it's not even funny. Work related stress has consumed me and I have consumed, well everything in sight. I have 5 weeks to go until I see my husband and I am UP so many pounds it makes me sick to have wasted the last week and a bit.
Tomorrow I grocery shop and take back control. I really want to beat the crap out of myself for this. Definitely taking a freebie this week - I refuse to even step on the scale for another day or two until I am back on track.
Super far behind on the thread, going to spend this weekend catching up on everything. Much love!!!
Cakses-I agree, 2 Saturday's ago, I hit 146 was doing great, yesterday, back up to 153, just bad choices. Good news is, we know what to do. I had to take a freebie last week, probably my 2nd this week, by then I should be back in the 140's and ready to rock and roll.
Everyone, have been not really focused, sorry, am committed to doing better!
Hey girls! sorry for not posting much. I was coming on to post last night and my computer decided to crash on me. I think it's time for me to upgrade. I just have so much stuff on this computer I don't want to have to transfer it all.
Okay, I am off in about 30 minutes to Fargo. (if only you could hear my accent coming out already) Don't know how much computer time I am going to get this weekend.
I hope everyone has a great Friday!! and a great weekend!! If I don't post while I'm up north, I will definitely post on Sunday to tell you all how my 1st 5k went!!!!!
Take it easy!!
oh & Melissa...you were smokin' hot on graduation day!! LOVE the shoes!!
Well, I think I fell victim to that "social Eating" thing last night. After Jess went and pulled his check out of the bank last night, he went through DQ and surprised me with ice cream....grrr....I did pretty good all day too, up until that point. This isn't something we do a lot, and I felt obligated to eat it, because it was a "special treat", even though the entire time I felt guily and had that BobJillianMelissa person on my shoulder. I mean seriously, do they ever just zip it? LOL! So today is a new OP day as is this entire weekend, I hope I can show some sort of loss on Monday morning when I weigh in. *sigh*
For you Tudors fans: Did y'all know there's a website for the show with discussion forums and everything? I just got the email from Showtime this morning. Tudors Wiki
I hope you all have an OP day & weekend. I think it's actually supposed to be nice and sunny this weekend.
They look so dang cute I can't help it sometimes~
