I would like to challenge everyone to get at LEAST 64 ounces of water down today.
Sounds good. I was just checking out the weigh-in thread, it looks like a lot of us are suffering from PMS, that water should help reduce the bloating/water retention.
I was without electric for over 9 hours yesterday. Luckily I thought to drag out the blow-up pool and fill it with water, so at least I stayed cool. FL in June without a/c is miserable! I'm up 4 pounds this morning, but luckily I weighed in prior to the PMS hitting. I'm not worried about the extra weight, there's no way I could really gain that much weight in such a short time with what I've eaten and as much as I've exercised.
Just enough time for a couple of personals before I have to get back to work -
Silly - You looked great. I love the color of your dress.
dgramie - Hope your feeling less stressed and everything is going better.
Brie - Get well soon. Don't try to do too much too soon, or you'll make yourself worse.
This is a new week, so lets move week 2 behind us and start fresh! I myself would have liked to do better than last week but I've made my mind up to forget about would've should've could've and concentrate on this week.
If I don't, I'm hitting that point right now, that in the past, I just say forget it. So I'm trying to stay motivated, like I just started again.
I had written down my weight but I forgot to post it earlier on here oops. I was really surprised I did okay this week. But I don't know maybe I'll get walloped next week on the scale instead. I've been having problems with constipation -- ugh sorry for tmi -- it's starting to get better but it just feels like I'm still kinda bloated and still a little off from fully regular. I also started working with weight machines and free weights last Friday, and again yesterday.
I'm working on adding more fiber to my diet, keeping up the water intake, and staying on plan as much as possible this week! My goals for the week are to keep up the weight circuits I set up last week, ideally 3 times a week, and to break up that Tues-Thurs black hole of no exercise.
Hey folks.
I want to apologise for not posting last week, my computer was away being fixed (fortunately still under warranty!) and I'm not ready to discuss what I'm doing with my workmates. It's back now though, so I shall take some time to catch up with the thread and make a proper post soon.

You're on!
Looks like I managed to keep myself in line for the weekend which is usually my downfall and I feel so much better for it. Not having to work all week just to undo the damage means I will the scale will actually start moving down!

I am a silly, silly girl. I warned the family that I would not be buying any more store bought cookies. I am determined to keep the HFCS out of here. I decided a great rainy day project would be to make cookies with the kids. I picked out a recipe for monster cookies and told the kids what were in them. They agreed they sounded good. Now no one will eat them. I told the kids and DH before we made them that they had oatmeal in them and no one said anything. I've eaten far to many of them already today. We have a play day on Wednesday so I will take them to that. They will be in the freezer until then.
Good evening everyone. I'm going to try and drink more water for the rest of the day. Don't know if I'll get in a full 64 ounces because it's 8 pm now and if I drink that much more water I'll be up all night running to pee. It shames me to say I've had hardly any water at all today. I have at least 4 12 ounce glasses each day but today is slow.
Starting the new thread on Sundays is fine with me. I always look for the beginning of the week on a Sunday.
I lost .5 pounds at weigh in on Saturday morning. I was happy for that with all the baking and cooking I was doing for DS's fiancee's wedding shower. We had the shower on Sunday afternoon. We had loads of fun and too much food but that's how it goes. I was going to post a few pictures but I can't get them posted for some reason or other.
I have a house that looks like it was vandalized. What a mess to clean up. I have wedding things all over the place and the kitchen is awful. The sink backed up today and DH took the stopper off the trap and fished out at least 8 drinking straws. Ugh. No wonder the water wouldn't go down. I have banned all straws from the sink. Five more weeks for the wedding and then I'll have my life back to normal (whatever that is supposed to be).
I have to tell you SillyGirl that you looked so sweet and beautiful in your prom picture. You should change your name to SweetGirl instead of Silly. And your dress didn't look too tight as you were worried about. Glad you had a great night.
Week went okay for me I should have lost more according to my body bugg, but I also lost more then I was supposed to last week, so the body is probably adjusting. Anyway, I'm real happy with 2lbs no complaints here.
Anyway today started day one of my training plan for my triathlon group. I went swimming which I haven't done since last summer. Ooo my arms are so weak now, but at least swimming felt familiar. Very slow though!
Tomorrow is my first Group workout, so I'm excited about that. Will suck being the fat slow one, but oh well... I'll get over it.
If anyone is into biking let me know I have a coupon code for 25 percent off clearance items at Primal Wear. I got myself 2 new bike jerseys since my ones from last summer are too small.
Hey people, sorry I haven't been around much, my computer is being fixed and I can only get on when I can steal BF's. Had a rough spot in the middle of the week which I was making up for and ended out coming in even. I plan for this week to be better. Meals and exercising is planned out so all I have to do is stop stressing out about in-laws. MIL is coming to visit but keeps pushing up and then back the time, I have no idea what is going on!
Anyway, as for the water challenge, made it, but inadvertently since I try for that as a minimum anyway. Great idea though zinke!

Will take a freebie if necessary. I freaking gained .2 anyway.
