Hey fellow St. Patty's challenge friends. I haven't been on in a couple of days. I felt horrible yesterday, I think it was from Zyrtec. I took it for the first time and I felt wiped out! Yesterday was my day off from exercise for the week and I ended up with 1431 calories for the day. I did end up planting some daffodil bulbs that my neighbor brought me. She dug them up from her family's farm and brought them to plant at her house next door and gave me the leftovers. We both have newly built houses and next to zero landscaping yet. So next spring at least we'll have some daffodils if they survive the transplant.
I have made up for yesterday's day off from exercise, though. I put the baby in the stroller and I did 6 laps around our subdivision this morning. I had planned for 4 laps, but he fell asleep on the 3rd lap so I just kept going. I was about to die on the 6th lap. It was starting to get hot and I was out of water. We're having a high of 77* today! I forgot sunblock and went out with a naked face, so I'll be having some pink cheeks tonight!
When I got back in and got a drink, I did upper body with hand weights (3 lbs). I held both weights together (to equal 6lbs) and pretended to do kettle bell with them, LOL. I have considered getting one, but wasn't sure if it was worth the $$.
I plan to do one more round of Denise Austin's abs this afternoon.
While I was walking and thinking I realized that for the Arbor Day Challenge my goal is going to be to get into One-Derland!! I am so close and I will absolutely make it and keep going to my goal!
I am so thankful for 3FC because it's a HUGE motivational factor for me and I just have no bit of a desire to quit! Plus, I'm super glad to see the tickers back!
Hoping and praying (and working) these last 4 pounds away so I can succeed on my St. P's day challenge.
I've got to hop offline, but I'll reply personally later to individuals!
Hello all! This is just a quick check in because I sitll have tons of cleaning to do todya, but I was down a little bit this morning, to 177.2. I'm hoping now to just have a new low weight for St. Patty's Day since I know I won't reach my original goal. Hope everyone has a great day!
Well, my scale is back to teasing me! 179.0 LoL I go down down down, then slowly creep back up 0.4-0.6 a day for just a couple days, then I go back down below the lowest...it's soo freakin weird! but I'm used to it now tho...happens regularly nowadays! haha I've been eating OP and exercising so there's no reason for it to increase, but it does (maybe it's my hormones after finishing TOM???) all i gotta say is it better not be above my goal of 179.8 come next wednesday!!! LoL i may then have to throw it out the window! haha
sounds like everyone is doing good...and it's only 11 days til spring!!!! YAY!
Hi Chicks, Thanks Lori and Farn00a57. Lori- I have been eating 1050 cal. a day to lose weight for 2 yrs. I am small, I feel great, so I guess it's fine. Thanks for being concerned. I do eat 1100 to 1200 when I want to maintain. And actually if I go as high as 1200 I start gaining. Today I had 1120 cal. I shouldn't have cause I'm still trying to lose 2 more lbs.for the challenge. I will just lose slower at that amount. Good luck everyone!!!
fruitlady~I Was just so concerned for ya. I have always read to never go under 1200 calories. So I was making sure you was okay. Your such A sweety & I didn't wanna see anything happen to ya! But u should know best with your body. By the way~you are totally a little skinny minnie in your avatar pic~HOW ADORABLE! Aint she cute as a button everyone?
Well I had a great day with my hubby today & the kids.
Just spent a nice day at home together(the ususal)
As far as my weight...Up & down ~from 161 to 163 UGHHHHHH I WANNA SEE THOSE 150's so bad so I can claim my 100 pounds lost!~These last few pounds are giving me troubles! LOL
Ok, so I just joined this site yesterday, so I didn't know about the challenge til today. However, I'm in too! I'd like to lose 2 pounds in one week. today at 149lbs.
quick pop in...ive been doing great with my workouts this week but sadly, not my eating. I think i will be happy if i lose another 25lbs but ive got to get the ball rolling here, just can't seem to get it rolling...
so with that said,im going to try yet again today to stay with in my calorie range(which isn't unreasonable,1600,gesh...)
sorry for the completly selfish post..i promise i will try and catch up with everyone soon...bbl
So lately I've been a lil over on calories maybe 100-200, but I've also been more active. Now TOM is in 2 days and I'm up 2lbs(which there is no way I actually gained that)....It sucks but I know it's TOM and I've had alot of sodium. I've still have not binged so I'm just going to go one day at a time and drink lots of water. I know i've been very stressed from exams, and I know I haven't piged out just alot of sodium too.
Thanks farn, I hope your exams went well too. I was very happy yesterday, my two exams went great! Well great as in I don't think I failed lol. The bf stayed up late Tuesday night with me quizing me for my ethics class. All engineers at this University have to take a philosophy ethics course...it's really alot of busy work. For spring break I plan on cleaning, studying, and visiting with my parents before my dad leave for Alaska. Not much fun but relaxing and I can get my spring cleaning done, the bf and I are finishing the hardwood floors and reuphostering the dinning room chairs.
Well i'm off to study, i'll be back on later to get everyone. Have a great day!
Good morning everyone! I've been back on track the last couple of days and the scale this morning broke the 195 mark coming in at 193.8! I was soooo ecstatic! I set a goal to lose 10lbs by the 17th, which would put me at 190lbs. Even if I don't hit that goal, I'm going to be satisfied with coming close to it. I am, however, going to hit the C25K goal I set forth. I do my W5D3 run on Saturday, which is a 20min run. When I get through that, I start W6 on Monday. Woohoo!!!!!
Let's do this girls! We're in the home stretch!!!
BTW, thank you to those who responded to my question about long distance relationships. I truly appreciate it.
KDM AMAZING job on completing C25K! I am truly inspired by you!
Nightangel I had TOM visit on Saturday, better last Saturday than this Saturday I suppose but it still felt like that was going to set me back on one of my goals as well. We'll see what happens. Like you, I'm glad I set other goals to work on achieving. Stay positive. And stay OP and the scale will move. Good luck sweetie!
jdonato Gosh darn TOM! That 2lbs will be gone soon. Sounds to me like it's definitely water weight from TOM and from being more active. I'm so proud of you, btw, for being binge free! I knew you could do it. Oh and I'm jealous you have a spring break. I wish I could take a spring break from work.
Oh and to Lori - awesome finds while thrifting!! Thrifting used to be one of my favorite things to do when I was a smaller size. I can't wait to be able to do it again and find cute, vintage items to add to my closet!!
Katy - I was in a LD relationship for 2 years. Mind you, we were only 4 hours apart (260 miles) and not the distance you are. It's hard stuff. We did it for 2 years and I eventually moved to him. We've been together for 8 years now and married for 3. We have a lovely 16 month old son. It can work, it just takes love and trust and understanding.
Hi everyone, I am almost up to my limit on calories already and it's not even lunch yet. Now what?? No lunch? No dinner? Lori- Your a sweetheart, you'll be in your 150's and at that 100 lb mark in no time. I know you can do it!
