Working out in a group is wonderful!!! I do my boot camp with the greatest group...and I only knew a few of them before we started...and more come in as the weeks go by. Enjoy...and don't worry what other people think...it's all about how you feel and think about YOURSELF!!!

Thanks Jacque9999 it will be a new experience training with people, but I'm hoping it will be fun especially since we're all training for the same race.

I'm not too worried about it. I've come a long way and I'm proud of it. Slow and all. I AM really shy though, so we'll see how it goes.

i got out and about today looking for jobs on our famous country club plaza. i think i overdid it a bit cause i am having coughing fits tonight and more wheezing. i am going to bed as soon as i take my medicine. i can say that i at least lost a pound this week! cant wait to be back fullforce...

Morning all. I have been doing crappy, but I am going to do better.
Yesterday was my birthday. I am 43. Honestly, I look better at 43 than I did at 23, but I plan to look awesome at 44. I was over 200 by 24, so I am not kidding when I say I am better now than then...

DH and I are talking a no kid vacay next spring as both kids will be in college. (Not sure how we will afford it, but we will have to) possibly the Keys or Bahamas and I plan to wear a bikini and wear it well! So now I have focus again..

Just stopping by to say "hi!" been really busy. TOM came late sunday so I am up 1.4 lbs today. ugh! it feels like 50! Sorry I missed the water challenge yesterday I have been having a hard time getting all of my water in lately so I am going to take up that challenge for today. Didn't get a workout in yesterday so I am doubling up today.

Only 9 days left of work till summer break. I am so done I can't wait!

Have a great Tuesday!

What water challenge? I missed so much lately!!
Hubby is having a stress test tommorow morning at 9. I am praying everything shows up ok.If not I guess we will deal with it. I am very scared! I am trying to feed him healthy foods but its a challenge. He is a big time snacker.
please keep us in your prayers tommorow.

I challenged everyone yesterday to make sure they drank at LEAST 64 ounces of water. I think I drank 96. That's a little low for me but I didn't run yesterday due to the rain.

I just got back from my run this morning though. I am sloooowly getting faster. My runs lengths are still pretty short but I am walking way less. I know soon I will be running nonstop.

I need to log my breakfast still and then go warm up my soup for lunch. I think I might make a salad to go with it. Dinner will be sketti squash and sauce and maybe a piece of garlic toast. Dessert if there are calories left will be a cookie.

What is everyone doing today to stay on plan?

Hi all!! :)

Can't stay but was out of town this weekend and luckily have web on my phone so posted my weight that way. Now TOM is here and I'm a huge balloon of bloat. Uggh!!! Hate it too, just like you all!! :mad: LOL.

Well, going to run errands, I miss chatting! And don't like never having time for personals but one day....

Take care and keep up the good work!!!

Selina :hug:

Hi team,

Wow, we really did have a rough week, didn't we? :( Congrats on TBL for the week, SillyGirl! :carrot:

Hopefully, we'll rock Week 3 as we de-bloat! :p TOM wipes me out. I took a 5-hour "nap" Sunday afternoon. :o I'm finally starting to get some energy back. :jig:

Afternoon all. That water challenge had me up a couple of times last night. :D I never started until 8 pm so what could I expect.

Dgramie, I hope everything will be good for your DH. Mine had to have a stress test and he was fine. Maybe your husband will be the same.

I'm having a hard time eating clean today. Yesterday I ate light but then I broke down and had a huge piece of cheesecake. I mean gigantic. Today I've eaten well for the most part but had a couple or three handfuls of potato chips. I am now dragging around a bag of baby carrots to munch on. If the munchies keep up I'll be orange by the end of the week. Less than 5 weeks to DS's wedding and I want so badly to be down to 135 pounds by then. I'm not getting in any exercise so far this week. So much to do and so little time and I still have to clean up this house. I'm in a state of clutter and am paralyzed to do anything about it. I'm just sitting here looking at it and wishing it would go away. I've got to push myself to clean. Last night I fell asleep sitting on the couch with a stack of paper plates in my lap. I was laying a doily on each plate to lay the wedding cake on and when I woke up I had a plate in one hand and and the doily in the other. Anyway, I'm trying hard to stay away from junk. I eat when I'm hungry. I eat when I'm tired. I eat when I'm stressed. I eat when I'm sad. I eat when I'm happy. I eat when I'm bored. I eat when I'm celebrating. I just like to eat all the time and baby carrots just don't cut it. Now to clean. That's a workout, isn't it?

Have a great day everyone.

PS: Congratulations SillyGirl on being the Biggest Loser for our team this week. WTG!!!

Its funny that you mentioned clutter, i just cleared about 50 lbs of clothes out of my closet and off to goodwill and I have been decluttering since yesterday.It feels so good!! It is why I didn't work out yesterday I was too busy cleaning...
I am still working on it but I was able to do 50 minutes on the ellipitical 8 miles total.
Woo hoo
Have a beautiful Day!
Carrie

retire- Hang in there, the wedding will be here and over in no time. Dont wear yourself out so much you cant enjoy it!!! Seems like we were just getting ready for my dds, and here they have been married for 3 months now.LOL

Im really trying to not let nerves cause me to eat wrong.I am nervous about the stress test tommorow. Im just praying its ok and they rule it was just a panic attack which he is prone to having.
Going to try and get some more housework finished up for the night.
Lets lose some weight this week!! I gained last week and no clue why...LOL
hugs to all

I got my laptop back, all fixed, yay! Okay, well food has been good and even though I didn't do technical exercise, I was sweating up a storm and working out my muscles with cleaning and organizing the house. We've lived here almost a year and still we are swarmed with boxes and never had time for a thorough cleaning, but a made a big dent in it today.

bjeweled- take care of yourself, you will get better faster if you don't push it.

mothermivis- happy birthday late! Finally having two kids in college, you guys definitely deserve a vacation!

retiredone- it will be over soon! Maybe try switching up the snack bags you have so you don't get bored with the carrots and decide to go for something not so good?

meenamom - yay for decluttering!

dgramie- I wish you the best tomorrow, hang in there!

Bad day yesterday. I did get tired of the carrots and ate another gigantic piece of cheese cake. At least it's all gone now. Then I got into the cream and ate many cookies dipped in heavy thick cream...sigh...I have an almost uncontrollable urge to eat everything in sight. When this wedding is over and the guests have gone home I'm not baking another thing til Thanksgiving.

I did get the kitchen cleaned up yesterday, or at least as much as I could with lack of cupboard space. It was good to see large open spaces on the counter top. Even the living room and dining room are starting to look a bit tidier. As I muttered to myself yesterday, I'll get it all cleaned up so I can have space to mess it all up again, ha, ha.

Well, have a great day. Hang in there Dgramie. Wishing for good news for your DH.

Dgramie my thoughts are with you today...
I hope to have a good day today..
I hope you all have a good day today also!!!
