Hello everyone. Sorry I haven't been posting this week. I have been around. Just haven't had anything to say really. I peeked at the scale this morning and I was angry. Went and did a 2 hour session with my new personal trainer. He kicked my butt. I HATE him. Haha. Hoping for some kind of loss to post in 3 days.

Tonight hubby and I had a (rare) date night and didn't want to go straight home after the movie so we stopped in a funky little neighborhood bar and I had two cocktails and fries. eek!

I was good and tallied everything up on Fitday. The damage was not as bad as I feared but will need to buckle down for the weekend now.

Hi, everyone!

Lori, I'm glad you like the name. I got it from Fox in Socks, which my older daughter used to adore. I had it memorized by the time she quit wanting me to read it to her.

I'm down 2 pounds. I've had a rough few weeks, but slow and steady is ok with me, I guess.

late but I'd like to jump in here.

I need to lose a pants size. I'm getting frustrated because nothing is moving so I am going to up my exercise as best as I can and make sure I stick with 1200 calories cuz 1400 just isn't helping me lose.

I have really been working hard this week and trying to eat the best that I can and really exercise hard. I managed to lose 2.2 pounds and am down to 189 :) That was definitely nice to see this morning on the scale!!!

Now I just need to continue...hehe!

tried 10MS HB Bootcamp again today. I did four sections Drills, Cardio, abs and stretch. I started with Drills and loved that section. Amy would give us about 4 exercises to do in a pattern but if I pick one and stick to it I find I do better and my HR gets higher, also. I tried Cardio again, huff puff, I finished it but I was breathing hard by the end {only 10 MIN!} Again with the pick one thing and stick with it. I did the abs section and loved it, even thought it used weights, LOL, I'm a gadget person maybe because of the weights! I think I had another Amy workout that I hated the workout but loved the abs??? The stretch was okay, it used a towel/belt and had a lot of standing poses, so I was leaning against the wall, LOL for those.

I have determined that Friday's are my worst eating days. The hard part of my week is over, I can relax etc. I'm waiting for the weekend to start! Hubby brought home a small pizza from our favorite place. Celebrate! Hmmmm. I did okay yesterday but I could have done better. I didn't know we were going to get the pizza until Hubby called right before he left work so I didn't 'save/plan' any room in my food plan. {I say this like I really have a plan!} So I had two snacks yesterday instead of one, then pizza on top of that. Oh, well. I'll have to remember to be more careful next Fri. Maybe start a new project to keep me extra busy.

Sunkisses...I hope you're feeling better very quickly and those in your home as well. Soup, juice and rest. Take care.

Mango..your dental experience must have been so painful, especially not having adequate pain meds after.

I'm doing better mouth wise today but still have my appetite reduced. I had about 1,200 calories yesterday..which is about where I want to be.

Hi Everyone! :wave: I hope you are all having a wonderful Saturday!

I started out the day at the gym. That's where I usually am on Saturday mornings. Then DH and I took the boys to lunch and to the DE Natural History Museum. Small and perfect for 2 spirited little toddlers. :dizzy: Now we are chilling out with some TV/computer time.

I dragged the scale out of the closet for my Friday weigh in. I was down a lil over two pounds for the week. Yay! However, still a little over 4 pounds up from my low. BOO! :p I'm working my way back. I'll do it!

Tomorrow is a planned 20 mile bike ride with a friend! Hoping my butt holds out. ;) My best so far is 15. Actually 20 was one of my Halloween goals. OK..now it's a Thanksgiving goal and should be complete tomorrow.

Skipping personals for now. Hope no one minds! Have a great evening!!

Hello!

My WI went good. Down .6 for the week and its TTOTM for me..so im happy with a loss period.;)

Hey to everyone...ive got to scoot and get the kids dressed, were going grocery shopping. There is absolutely nothing here to eat:dizzy:...yikes!

Have a great day!:)

I am so bad about exercise. My weight loss has slowed to a crawl, but still I have not made myself do anything extra. The weather is so beautiful and would be perfect for a walk, yet still nothing doing.

One problem is that about 2 years ago, I had started walking in the mornings. I was listening to my ipod--music is all that made exercise bearable--and I was surrounded by a group of neighborhood dogs. Most were harmless, but one of them bit me several times. The bites were not severe, but it was traumatic at the time, and I have never really been able to go walking with my ipod again. No ipod--no walk.

Guess I've hit my plateau as I didn't lose anything this week. However, I didn't gain either so that's a positive. I'll just keep plugging away and hope to see a good loss next week.

Hey everyone, I've been pretty busy over the past few days but I am down 1.4 lbs so far. Tomorrow is my official weigh in and I'm hoping to be down a full 2 lbs, but we'll see. Now we have a hurricane to watch out for down here, but I'm kind of hoping it'll get classes cancelled on Tuesday so that one of my tests will be pushed back to Thursday. I didn't get to exercise today, but I did tons of walking at a jewelry show yesterday, and around the French Quarter with my mom. I didn't eat to well at Margaritaville though, I had a BBQ bacon cheeseburger with fries, but that was the only bad thing I ate. Doing good so far today, but won't be able to get much joggin in tomorrow because it's supposed to storm all day. Hope everyone had a great week.

Hey Gang! This is going to be quick. I am beat and heading to bed shortly. Today was beautiful and I went out with my biking partner. I'm happy to report my new personal best ride...21 miles! Yay! I was so pumped after that.

Then when I got home we went right back out the door to the zoo where we spent the rest of the day.

It was a fun, super active day!!!

Now I must go :faint:

Catch ya'll later!
