Blue Team WOSC Week 14 Chat
 

@ Angela,

I forgot to weigh in yesterday:( Can I still post my weight and not be eliminated? Please?:hug::hug:

Hi. Where is everyone today? I guess everyone gets a Congratulations this week with both teams tying for 1st place.

I'm away from home for a week til next Sunday, visiting DS, DIL and Baby. But I have my new laptop with me so I'll be connected.

I'm OK with Mercy staying on. Hope you are able to finish, Mercy. You've really had a bad blow.

Have a good week everyone.

Thank you so much Angela.:hug::hug:I am good to go now.Out of town company is leaving Tuesday morning, so it's time to get back on track.

Again, thank you all for the kind words and support.:hug::hug:

Liz

Mercy, Glad to see your shining face today!

I'm doing my best to stay on track, but things are so crazy right now. We have a meeting with our attorney tomorrow, and tehn court next week. I just want this custody crap to be over. Hopefully we have enough info to prove that the kids are better off with us for the majority of the time. I think we do, but you just never know how a judge will decide. To me it's cut and dry. DH has had a job (the same one) for almost 5 years, he's owned our house for 5.5 years, we provide the kids with computers/ school stuff. On the other hand their mother has moved 8 times in 4 years, hasn't worked (on purpose) for 6 years, doesn't have a computer, doesn't supply the kids with clothes/shoes/school supplies/etc. And to top it all off, she's so focused on taking more money from us, she is trying to take the kids away so she gets more money. Not because she wants them, but because it makes her happy to see DH suffer. She's a sick individual.

Anyway, sorry for whining, but sometimes it just drags me down so much.

Hi everyone and Congratulations to our biggest losers for the week. A tie for the Blue and Red teams so we are all winners this week.

Angela - how is your flu are you feeling better yet.
Mercy03 - I am so glad that you got to weigh in and are still here with us. Hang in there.
retiredone - I hope you have a nice visit.
Nella - I sure hope everything goes your way at the hearing and that the judge listens and makes the right decisions. It's time for this to be over and the kids to have some sence of normal in their life.

Well not much new with me still up those couple pounds and can't seem to figure out why. I will keep up with my eating and working out and that's all I can do for now. Here is hoping it is just a very temporary thing. Well guess I should go hit the shower. I am off to donate blood and then later taking my mom out for her Birthday supper.
Have a great OP day everyone.

Good morning ladies!!

Ang - hope you're feeling better! I did the BL Yoga yesterday and you're right, it's really good! I can't wait to do it again when I get back from my trip. It's fast paced and I was sweating in 15 mins! Then again, I stopped at 15 mins, my thighs were feeling like jelly. :lol: It's awesome and I was looking for something strength-training-ish without having to do with weights. Glad you suggested this! :D

Mercy - so glad to see you on here! :hug:

Nella - good luck next week! Sounds like a slam-dunk case to me too. :)

Bigmid - Argh, I know how you feel! I have 2 lbs to take off and they just won't go no matter what. It's so frustrating but I'm just going to keep chugging. I think of it as a battle of wills this way, where *I* will win and my body will shed the lbs!! :D

I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon for MIAMI!! Hubby and I are celebrating our 1 yr wedding anniversary and thought we'd take a trip. We're also spending a day at the everglades. Our hotel has a fitness center that I plan to use every morning we're there - we're staying 2 days. Plus, we're going to be walking at least 2 -3 miles everyday so I shouldn't gain too much when I get back. I'll be back Sat evening, so I'll weigh-in on Sunday. As a precaution, I'll weigh in tomorrow morning just in case I forget on Sunday. I really don't want to be eliminated!

Have a good day all! :cool:

:frypan: :kickbutt:

*sigh* I've lost my drive. I had a couple of bad nights at work, very emotionally draining. Doing a fair amount of pallative care (residents who are on the verge of passing away) and I get so upset. Love my job most of the time, but these two days were ones that I have to fight back the tears because I wish we could all just live forever.

I'm bound and determined to get back on the wagon. I am robbing myself of who I want to be. I'm going to have DH clean out the cupboards and bring all the junk food and all of the easter candy to work with him.

DH, both boys and I went for a quad yesterday. It was fun...but a bit nerve racking for me. Last time I was on a quad (ATV) was almost two years ago when I rolled my dads polaris 700 down a 150 foot bank and almost killed myself. I enjoyed being a passenger, but won't ever drive one again!

It's been quiet here. Hope everyone is doing well!

I just read all your posts. Wow, we all have so much going on. Those of you going out of town, be safe and have fun. :hug: One of you have a custody battle. OMG we soooo know how it feels to be the one caring for them while someone wants them for their own reasons but the other one KNOWS it's not what's best for the child/children. So sad. I'm praying for you all. :hug: And the ones of you like me, who like baby grant, lost ur drive. I feel it too. It's just a slump. Don't let it define the future weeks. We can come back from it. I've done it lotsa times before. I am going to work hard here to get my office in more of an organized state. That will help me destress. Think of something that bothers you and try to make it better. Just one thing. Helps take the focus off other non-manageable things. So many things in life we must deal with and can't fix when we want to. So I have found that when I start up a new project, going thru one closet for as long as it takes to get it spic and span, I am relieved from worrying for at least the little bit of time I can devote to that closet. Good luck, you will be fine. Don't be hard on yourself. We always get enough of that from other people. We don't need to do it to ourselves too!! :yikes:

Hugs to each and every one of you. I'm sorry I didn't do real personals but have a stack of work here I must get thru today plus invoicing. Our business is still doing well. We are proud. It had a slump around Christmas but you learn that it happens every year because people in the legal world tend to take off alot then and so of course it trickles down to us. But spring has brought most of it back and I bet all year we stay busy as usual. Yay! Makes me very happy. :D

Ok, hugs! :df:

Selina :hug:

Hello my peeps:D

I woke up this morning and finally felt a ray of sunshine in me:).While I'm still at a loss for words about my sisters death, I feel that it's time to get on with my life. She would have wanted that way.

I have some work to do getting myself back on track.10 days of mourning Italian style meant alot of food and drink and no exercise.I feel really sluggish and FAT(sure it's water) but still..........

So, here's my new challenge for me.5 pounds lost by mothers day, and to post here once a day, to keep me accountable.

I promise this to myself.:)

Mercy, Awww I bet she really would want you to move forward now. Bless her heart. :hug: And I love your goal. 5 lbs by Mother's Day. I am going to join you! I need a good new goal! :) And I will try hard to come here every day. If not then as much as I can. Thanks for being an inspiration!!! :cp:

Hi other bluezers!! :carrot: Our worker is trying to find us a legal risk baby who may have rights terminated soon so maybe we can finish up our family soon! (I'd take 20 babies if we were rich. I KNOW I would. LOL. But best to stop at 4 or 5 so our kids will have more resources for them.) Pray for us please!!! :angel:

Ok, glad I got a new goal with Mercy, 5 lbs! Woohoo!! We can do it!!! :dance: Anyone else wanna join in? :cheer3:

Hugs, gotta finish invoicing!
Selina :df:

Yes, and I am putting forth a challenge. Anyone who has fallen off the wagon (and possibly got ran over??) and has avoided posting, I challenge you to come back and chat so we can help each other find our drive again! Please come back! I hid for a couple of weeks now with very infrequent posting, and it did NOTHING positive for me.

Good to hear from you BAbygrant. I think you are right, it's hard to post when we fall back, that's why I am going to be here everyday.I lost a pound yesterday:carrot:, so I am off to a good start.I think karma is playing a part as well, after all THE WITCH IS DEAD AGAIN!

Woot, lost another pound!:carrot::carrot:

Great job Mercy!!!!

I'm showing another gain. No excuses because there really is no good excuse that I can think of. A very sall part of it is that TOM is coming...but most of it was emotional eating...stress....lack of willpower, etc etc. I did it to myself. I let down my team. And I appologize team.

Don't apologize.You know what to do to get back on track, so why not start today?

What's up my beautiful blue ladies!? I'm back from Miami, sad to leave but happy to be back home. I'm sure I'll be posting a gain tomorrow, which is really annoying because I had made all sorts of plans to avoid a gain and actually worked out like crazy with all the walking AND making use of the fitness center. There's just no accounting with the food! I didn't go crazy, but who knows what sort of hidden calories are in each entree/sandwich! Ok, I sound paranoid and I probably am, haha. ;) Anyway, whatever happens tomorrow happens. I did my best and I know I usually retain water like MAD after a trip. Blah.

Glad to be back and I'm joining in on the two challenges - post here everyday to keep myself accountable and lose 5 lbs by Mother's day!! :D

Ang - Thanks for the wishes! :)

:hug: to all!

Here's a pic of me on Friday night - before we headed out to dinner. My hair is actually looking tame...it definitely needs to be flowbee'd. :p Sorry the pic is so small. Had a devil of a time resizing it so it would fit 3FC guidelines. :p

I did. :) Thank you.

Baby grant, I think I'm up a few lbs! OMG! I'm crazy. I made the goal for 5 lbs with Mercy and look what happens to me! I think goals make me binge. THAT is not good. Geez. I guess this problem is a small one compared to people with terminal illnesses and sick children and so many things that make this pale in comparison but I just hate having this food/weight problem. It always is worse when I am tired like lately. I let down the team too. I'm sorry also, team. I am a slacker!!! :yikes:

I vow to do better this coming week and at least maintain whatever my weigh in is for Sunday. I can do it! We all can do that! Shoot for maintenance when you are stressed or tired. Hard to lose then! I know it CAN be done, but is hard for me. :(

Ok, love u guys, gotta go! Hugs!!

Oh has anyone seen Paranormal Activity?? I love ghost stuff and love those type movies but no one to watch with me. Wonder if I can sleep if I watch it. Dh wont be home til after midnite from work so I'll go to sleep alone with maybe the kids in my room though, which I like. Anyhoo, prolly will watch tomorrow during the day, even though it isn't as good then. I'm a wimp! But love those. And I still wanna see Exorcism of Emily Rose. My daughter is named Emily so I kinda am freaked out but I wanna see!! For any of you who like suspense, have you seen The Changeling with George C Scott from the 70s? I love it, I have it. Nothing to do with Angelina's movie. Totally diff. and very good. ok nite!!

I'm annoyed. Why? Here's the story:

I have a good friend of 5+ years who never remembers my birthday, unless I reminded her (I only did this once). I know this makes me sound childish, but it's just the way I am. I love birthdays in general and make a big deal out of them. To be fair, she says the only reason she remembers her birthday is because it's close to a major holiday (weird). FYI, I have never forgotten her birthday. Anyway, we hangout often and this time, she suggested meeting up on my birthday with no indication that she knew the date. I told her I was busy and could meet on another day. I'm so tempted to try and guilt-trip her when we meet or go so far as to ignore her on her birthday, but I'm just not that kind of person. Blah. She's a good friend otherwise, but this just gets to me. Anyway, at least it will give me some impetus to go work out. I gained 3 lbs from last week!! :mad::mad::mad: Stupid vacay. I'm hoping a lot of it is water weight since I've been peeing like crazy for the past 3 hours. We'll see. At least next week I'll show a sizeable drop, eh? ;)

Hi ladies!

So sorry I haven't been posting much. The weather is gorgeous and I've been out and about enjoying the spring! I have been reading everyone's posts when I can and sending out positive thoughts.

When this challenge first started, I had a goal of getting to 259 by the end (at first the official end was this week, week 14)...well, today, the scale said 259.8! I'll take it! I'm so happy!

Hi everyone I have been MIA lately not on purpose though I sign in every morning before work and I can't seem to get on. I wait about 5 min or so and then give up. It took forever this morning to post my weight and get to page 2 here and post. About an hour total so can't do that every morning.

Angela - how did your half day at work go? are you feeling back to your normal self yet? Thanks for the comments I am a little scared to up my calories in case that backfires on me. But I need to try something. I think my water intake is good anywhere between 3 and 4 liters a day.

Mercy03 - glad your back and feeling better. WOW your rocking your goal. I would join but it seems no matter what I try I am going backwards right now.

babygrant - hang in there things will get better. Good luck with your goal.

Sunnigummi - Im sure you'll drop those 3lbs very quickly probably just water. A note about the friend.....I'm that friend, I have a really hard time with Birthdays and I write them down but never in a book on paper and then don't know where that paper ends up. With most of my friends I remember but my one friend (and I love her dearly and would do anything for her) the date of her birthday seems to elude me every year. There is absolutly no excuse but now I'm at the point I scared to ask the date in order to write in on the calendar. I'm sure your friend thinks the world of you. Happy Anniversary I'm glad you had a great time away.

Soon2BFitChick - Good luck with getting your new baby I hope you can complete your family soon. Struggling with these 2lbs is driving me crazy as well good luck with your new goal.

ars - Congratulations on reaching your goal:carrot::carrot::carrot: That's awesome.

Well posted a small loss which just takes me back to 2 weeks ago. Just finished posting my exercise and I should be dropping when I look at how much I am doing. This really sucks and I know in my head it will work out but my heart is breaking and wonders what is the use of trying so hard when it doesn't pay off. At least if my clothes fit better but they don't either. I am not sure what else to try I can't even say that I'm not giving it my all because I am which is a first for me. The second I get home from work I do my workout. Before if I was tired I would just say oh well there is always tomorrow. I am at a loss as to what to try next. Thanks for listening to my rambleing everyone.

So sorry if I missed anyone. I hope you all have a fantastic day and here is to a great next week for all of us on the Blue Team.

Angela is the new challenage up yet I can't see it, I just don't want to miss my chance of being in the next challange and being with all of you wonderful ladies who help support me.

Yeah!!!! Just found the summer challange and signed up. So excited that the nicer weather is coming soon and I hope that helps. I need motivation for shorts season.

I'll take your challenge. Sorry I've not been the best on posting. But I will start. Kids go back to school tomorrow. This morning I woke up feeling blah, head, throat, and body aches. :( I've been sleeping most of the day, but it's not helped. Keep going through freezing to sweating. Going to go take a hot shower and see if that helps. Stayed the same this week, probably cause I drank some wine this week, 2 glasses almost nightly, but it's gone and I won't buy anymore!!

You'll be able to sleep, trust me.

I think I had too many beers. Up 3 pounds:D

I have been a wicked, bad woman while I was away. Ate from the devil's table (chips, ice cream, cheese cake, and anything else that was on the go) every day. I'm taking my first freebie ever and I'm not weighing until next week. Anyhoo, I'll see you all tomorrow on the new week.

DH, the kids and I started geo-caching today! What fun!!!!! We hiked and walked for just over 5 hours today. I got tons of amazing pictures and had the best time with my family. :) If this is what exercise is supposed to really be like...I'm totally in!! DH and I are going to go geo-caching again while our oldest is in school and the little one is in preschool. So 2 1/2 hours of hiking again. My eating has been on plan and I did so good today. Signed up for the next challenge as well.
