Lori- Congrats girl! I'm coming up right behind you I hope. By the way, the boyfriend is doing great. We are still going stronger than ever and we are very happy.
Misspriss- HELLO GIRL!!
Everyone else- Hello, hope your having a good week.
Well, this week I have been on plan for food and diet for the most part. A small slip one day for chocolate related to TOM though. I have been trying to get back into exercising because I know it will help me in the long run get to where I want to be. So far its been difficult though. I can only make it through 15 minutes of Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. Then last night the boyfriend and I tried out the Biggest Loser 30 day jump start. I don't like the instructors because the transitions between movement are hard to follow, but it was still ok. I only tried it for 20 minutes though because it was late at night and I didn't want to wake the neighbors. Anyways, that dvd works well for me and the bf because it has beginner moves for me and very advanced moves for him. Hoping when TOM leaves this weekend it takes a nice woosh of weight with it.
LORI!!!! Congratulations on making such a huge goal! You should be so impressed with yourself - losing that weight takes tenacity and drive, and clearly you have both! Very happy for you!
Me - well, I had a foot long Subway today, but that was lunch and dinner, so it's not so bad. And it was the chicken teriyaki, with a ton of veggies and no mayo or cheese, so it turned out to be about 350 per serving, which isn't bad for a main meal. But I did have a bag of Baked Lays too - I love those suckers. The scale WILL move at some point, but not today as it's TOM and I am bloated beyond all recognition and I feel like a giant blobby blob. But I know it's temporary and I'll feel normal again when I wake up!
Got one of my dearest friends coming to stay for the weekend - he leaves his husband behind in LA with my husband, and he and I go shopping and gambling and get caught up on all the gossip. It's so much fun and I am in such dire need to a relaxing day or two, I can NOT wait!
I'm visiting my parents until Saturday, my dad is leaving for Alaska tomorrow ......We are not dealing with it well. My sister is taking it the hardest because she lives at home and sees him packing everyday and leaving, so she's really letting my dad have it. For those of you who don't know I posted about my dad going through his mid-life crisis in the last challenge. He got this great job offer and thinks he has a short time left and is just going thinking my mom will follow him. Ya well not really thought out very well. It's even harder knowing they have a very happy and loving 28 year marriage. She says it's something she just has to let him do. So off of that
I have to get back on track. this past week was horrible and I need to get back into the gym. I'm getting my belly back and with TOM it isn't helping. So as I always say one day at a time.
Lori: Congrats! seriously I am so proud of you, I knew you could do it! A 100lbs is a whole person and I'm very happy you got to do it on the day your sister and dad celebrated their birthdays...you did it! Thanks for the pic comment. I took that yesterday, I posted a few pics on the st. patty's day challenge, i'll post more later.
jigglefree: I'm so glad your back for this challenge, you are a huge motivation and looking very sexy! hehe
jules: I know what you mean by some good gossip time. I got mine in yesterday with the bf's sister and her friend. Us girls got it all out! lol. I hope you have fun this weekend.
fruitlady: Another challenge and another chance to stay OP. We can do it! Good Luck!
Shan84: I hope you have a great challenge and happy to hear about you and your bf doing great
Everyone else sorry if I missed you. To everyone new who I haven't met welcome and everyone from pervious challenges I'm glad we're all back. I hope everyone has sweet dreams, I'm off to bed, big day tomorrow.
YAY! It's time to start another challenge!!! I've been really busy the past couple of days...LOTS of stuff going on at work and just no time to sign on here...looks like there's alot of us returning and ALOT of newbies also! These challenges are such a great way to get to know everyone AND stay motivated!!!
My weight goal for this challenge will be 5lbs, puting me at 172.4! Since I finished C25K this week, I'd also like to keep running atleast 3x a week. When I reach 175, I'd like to take front, side, & back shots to compare to the series I took at 195. I've added some other pics to my 3FC blog (link to the left) that show me throughout my journey (started in May/June 08).
to all the new CC Challengers and Glad to see the rest of ya back for another, hopefully successful, challenge!!!!
Go Lori you did it, 100, go go go!!! I'm so proud of you and your massive accomplishment. You should get a MAJOR AWARD. I saw your pics and I have Q U E S T I O N S!!!
JD - I was coming back!! These challenges are fun and inspiring. I'm going to really be pushing this go around. It would be nice to get to goal before my baby's birthday. Your mom is right to let him do him. Alaska is beautiful country though. We lived there for 7 years when my dad was in the air force. Tell her I said she'll be missing out if she doesn't go, at least for a visit.
Jules - That's hilarious...bloated beyond all recognition!! I think 350 is good for a main meal.
KDM - I love checking blogs they keep me inspired. Guess I should get back on my blog and update it. It's probably been about three weeks since I was there blogging.
NEWBIES - WELCOME!! We are having fun with our challenges. It helps to have something you are shooting for with others. Everyone is very supportive and friendly. I'm probably the hyper one of the group. Jump and enjoy!!
eating on plan :b oxing: choose your weapon!!
Lets have a great on plan day and make someone you don't know smile.
CONGRATS LORI !!!!!
You are truly amazing and an inspiration. You are well on your way to goal. it's so close.
I missed my last challenge goal by 2.5lbs. Since I have been increasing my mileage my weight loss is starting to slow down. I really need to figure out how to get it moving again. I can really see the inches melting so I will not let it get me down too bad.
Today I am at 197 (Boo) so my goal is just 5lbs. I would be happy to finally get past 193 and past another 10% goal of weight loss for myself.
Sorry I was so MIA at the end of last challenge. I completed my first 5k race in Disney 3/6/10. Sorry things were a little out of sorts. But I did enjoy the few extra days we took in FL for vacation. I am now starting the 10K training program. I hope to run the 10k in MA on the 4th of July.
Good luck to everyone and I will try to get in as much as I can.
Just checking in...I got an awesome workout in today, a circuit that was about 63minutes long...i was sweating buckets full! Anywhoo...my diet wasn't very good yesterday but today is going great, that seems to be my pattern good one day then bad the next Im trying to get better at it...lots of stuff going on and im an emotional eater. But, i WILL get my focus back, im not trying to make any excuses,promise
JD-LOVE the new pic...the old one was pretty too. Sending you hugs
Lori- & im so proud of you and you continue to inspire me to be good on my diet. Thanks for your reply,it really helped Have a great walk later!
Jigglefree- I love all your little workout smilies, so cute! And its so uplifting to read your post...you have a great day too!!!
Jae-Congrats on completing your first race,yay!!! And good luck on your 10k program. There is a 5K that is next Saturday about 10minutes down the road...i may go ahead and sign up for it.
KDM-Can't wait to see your new updated pics...congrats on your weight-loss so far!!!
Jules-Have a fantastic time with your friend this weekend...sounds like fun!
Shan-Glad to see you!!! 30-day shred is no joke, Jillian is kick butt in that workout. Even the first level is intense...definitely gets your heart rate up. I almost bought three of her other workouts the other day on sale for like 5$ a piece, im kicking myself for not getting them. I didn't know she had so many workouts. I love her on the biggest loser too...
HELLO TO EVERYONE I MISSED! Gotta go get the kids ready for their night with mawmaw(my mom) DH has to work tonight so i will be all by my self...can't wait for he silence
OH MY GOSH! I DID IT!! I ACTUALLY RAN OUTSIDE!!! I tried to talk myself out of it, but fought back and just did it! I warmed up for about 0.2mile, ran (REALLY SLOW) for 1mile, walked 0.2mile, than ran back home for 1mile (again, REALLY SLOW)...I was soooo proud of myself!!! I didn't stop once during the mile jogs! I measured out a mile from my driveway in the car and then just decided to do it! my road has a couple hills, and one really big one, but I got through it!!! I called the DH at work and was sooooo excited! hahaha he was just like "Uh, good job...but I gotta go" LoL he was busy
My weight has been up the last 2 days, and I'm not sure if it's my "normal weight cycle" (up up up, down down down, stable, stable, up up up, down down down and so forth) or bc I didn't get all my water that last few days OR bc I had some high sodium foods yesterday...at any rate, it's up, but I know it's not "actual" pounds! haha my calories are on track for today...gonna try to make "cauliflower mashed potatoes" tonight...hopefully I'll like them and have a new option to go along w/my meats for dinner meals...
lori---Hope you had fun celebrating your 100lb loss yesterday & today!! did you do anything special?? or do you have something planned for when you meet your origial goal?? I've been thinking i MIGHT get another tattoo...i only have 1 (lizard on my lower back) and it HURT REALLY BAD but I've been thinking about another small one...somewhere I can admire it! lol
shan--nice to meet you! Hope that TOM woosh comes soon!!!
jules--Hope you have fun w/your friend this weekend!! I love when friends come to visit (since I live 8.5hrs away from all my family & friends back home)
jdon---Love the new avatar!!! And, I also saw the pics on the SPD challenge...VERY NICE!!! Do you have any pics from before you started your WL journey?? I like seeing the actual progess ppl make...it really helps me get motivated
Jiggle---"choose your weapon"--THAT'S FUNNY! Keep up the good work!

~My day~

I can deal with cramps~I exercised alot today to try to ease them~I am hoping for another beautiful day here in OHIO~Hope everyone has a little sunshine 2morrow! HUGS TO ALL
Not checking for errors & I always usually mis type~So ignore all errors!!!
TOM looks like it's letting go here, as I was up quite a bit this morning and now I'm under 230... yay! I hadn't expected that.... breaking the 130 mark helps seemed to be plateauing a bit there....
Lori- Loved your photos, you look like a totally different person. You look great! As for me, I had 1060 cal. today, which is good cause I went overboard on peanut butter 2 days ago and gained 1.5 lbs. I really want to get back down to my feel good weight(105lbs.). 3.8 lbs. to go!
......We are not dealing with it well. My sister is taking it the hardest because she lives at home and sees him packing everyday and leaving, so she's really letting my dad have it. For those of you who don't know I posted about my dad going through his mid-life crisis in the last challenge. He got this great job offer and thinks he has a short time left and is just going thinking my mom will follow him. Ya well not really thought out very well. It's even harder knowing they have a very happy and loving 28 year marriage. She says it's something she just has to let him do. So off of that
