Lori: that just sounds terrible! I'm so glad to hear that you haven't had any!!! Sleep is way better than anxiety!! OH and there ya go with those flowers again!! Hope you are able to truly enjoy the beautiful weather and be out in the garden! I know my mom would be devastated if she couldn't plant her flowers!
jiggle: I'm so sorry to hear about the bathroom accident!! Patience is definitely a virtue and you must have it my friend, I would have been livid if that happened when my husband was just sitting there! Men, I tell ya. haha
northern: I'm so sorry to hear about your aunt.
KDM: haha thanks! yeah it's from mexico! I should have kept it in color so you guys could see how beautiful the water was! that work out sounds rough but I think I may have to give it a try!!!
aluxa: argentina? nice! I heard that is a beautiful country!
Well I have the day off today, I'm planning on working out in a little bit and then cracking down on a 7 page paper I have due tomorrow and I final I have at 6 tomorrow night. Ugh!! stress!!! It's good though because I don't have time to be bored and just eat! I am down another 1.5 pounds, so I am officially clear of all the weight that I gained after mexico and the following weeks plus some! that makes me happy! i really wish I wouldn't have slacked though because I could be so much farther now! Oh well, I'm not going to think like that. I'm off for the day, busy busy day ahead!
I'm late checking in because I hit the ground running this morning. I did my 30 day shred before I had to get my husband off to work at 5:30am. Got home got the baby on the potty, dressed and back on the potty. Got me dressed, we left the house, dropped my sweet girl off at daycare and got to work and had to start pushing it right away. From one crisis to another. But I got everyone in order. Just got back from my lunch workout and it was a beast. I feel great now though. I did running and incline walking intervals, included lifting, shower and back to my desk. This is probably going to be one of those evenings that I'm sleep before the baby. She is usually out by 8:30-9pm. I would like to have a brag moment...I have a short waisted jacket in a size 16 and it fits really good. I just pulled it out because it was chilly this morning and my arms have room ans well at the waist it doesn't cut off my circulation!!
KDM - Yes I measured weekly. I was new in the game and was checking my progress every three days. I had to stop because I was getting obsessive. I didn't measure myself all of this challenge until last week when I realized I lost all those inches. If you do 30ds regularly (daily or every other day) you will see results. Just check it after this week you'll see. Aluxa - Don't worry. Just make sure you eat on plan. You have to rest your back. It only took my shoulder two - three days to stop hurting. It may take your back a week or so but you will be okay. If you can walk slowly then maybe take a SHORT and I emphasize SHORT walk. Shylah - here's to you getting those other three workouts in!! Lori - No one really likes me sleep deprived. It usually takes me a whole day to be LEFT ALONE a good nights rest and I'm back to my happy self. Farn - I didn't bust the tv but he got the message. We tried his way for about an hour and he didn't do to well because it required too much work. As least without the diaper she could go sit on the potty herself. With the diaper on he had to take it off and put it back on. I loved it !! I think you will do well with the exam tomorrow. Congrats on the pound and a half. Some days I wish I were weighing myself but I get over it quickly especially when I see complaints of up and down days.
Back to the mad mad mad mad mad world of higher education. The students are getting ready for finals and graduation. I'm getting ready for the departments to complain about all they complain about this time every year...like it's never been here before. Come on May is the end of the semester and it comes EVERY YEAR!!!
Just a quick check in. I am 2 lbs from my challenge goal. I weigh in on Sundays, so I am hoping to be there on May 2. Crossing fingers. oing housework. staying on food plan no matter what!
Hi everyone, I really blew it yesterday at the buffet, I gained three pounds. Water weight for sure, that food was way too salty for me. My stomach still burned this morning and I was still full. I didn't want breakfast, I forced it down and I felt better. Why is it every time I get down to 105 or 106, I over eat and gain again? I'm so sick of it, I just can't seem to maintain by eating a certain number of calories every day and that's it. It's either feast or famine! Today I am doing good, had 1000 cal. That's it for me.
Hey ladies! So last week of school and I'm so excited! I've made my challenge goal and have kept it off for a while now, lost a bit more and then regained that this weekend...though I didn't take in alot of calories i guess it was just alot of sodium. oh well still met my goal. I'm so ready to get my life started onto a new chapter! *sigh
fruitlady: hang in there! You will find a happy medium soon
angel: way to go only 2lb left! you can do it!
jigglefree: Hope things are going better at the home front, you are a very wonderful hard working mom and u diserve a break!
farn: good luck on your exam and your paper! finals suck! Oh and no grad school for me, at least for a while. My fun meter is full! I'd like to get married and settle down for a while and go from there. you?
misspriss: nice job at the bday party. Man when I read you guzzling that diet coke down...ohhh how I miss my diet pop soon enough I'll reward myself with it.
Lori: glad things seem to be working with the meds. Hope everything else is going well.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. i have to get going to my next class!
Hey all, I'm ending my day at 1412 calories and my exercise for today was Denise Austin's Interval Training with Abs focus and I walked 2 times around the subdivision for 1.2 miles with a jogging burst for 200 yards (from fire hydrant to the next fire hydrant) I don't know how y'all do it for miles! I was dying! I think it would be easier not to be pushingl the stroller, though.
Hope you all have a great day tomorrow. My TOM is coming either tomorrow or the next day, so I may weigh in tomorrow morning and skip Friday until TOM is gone.
My daughter has her state standardized test in the morning, called TAKS here in TX. It's her first time (3rd grade) and she's nervous. I'm going to make her favorit pancakes in the morning, shaped like + & - so I've got to get up extra early so it's off to bed for me.
Farn: yes it is beautiful. I will go there in june after 8 years and a half. Can I ask you which is your major? Ikm finishing my master but I want to keep studying after it.
Jiggle: thanks today I was unable to do a short walk. I have back problem but these last 2 days the pain was worse and I'm the one to blame for it!
This is our last week and I'm excited. I have been working out like a rugrat!! I know by the end of the week I will look better in those traveling shrinking pants!!
I found out today that someone at this office is trying to sabotage my weight loss!! Not gonna happen!! They gonna really be hating on me by mid summer!! I should be in a 14 by the first day of summer and it ain't gonna be nothing nice...for them .
Hope everyone is having a great day. Jdonato - I know you ROCKED that exam!!! Hubby got back on my potty training team!! LOL Susie - I started TOM yesterday but I will not be denied my goal!! Aluxa - Hope your back is better today. TAKE YOUR TIME!! Friday is Goal Day!!! I still want to have a party!!
I hope you are all having a fantastically wonderful day! I know I am so far! I finished my 7 page paper that is due in about an hour and I know I did well on it! It was about a painting of Judas betraying Jesus, so it was really interesting for me too. I have a busy day today however, I have an advisor appointment at 11:30 to discuss graduation and then a Spanish final later tonight at 6, which I am not too worried about. So I have a little down time and am just enjoying a nice cup of coffee while I wait for my meeting. I am down another 1/2 a pound!!!!
jiggle: hahaha I love it that you were right in the end!! you are right on the whole weighing thing too, it can be exciting but often it is not and is very discouraging!! especially when you work your butt off and then you fluctuate up and gain! haha not fun! I just don't think i have the control to do what you are doing!! i'd be measuring and checking all the time! haha 14's by summer?! whooo!!!! how exciting is that?! my goal is 16's by my bday and i'm giong to have to work my butt off! Literally I guess too! hahaha (ps: why would someone wan to sabotage your weightloss? jealousy?!)
jdon: i'm so jealous that you are on your last week of school!! My last final is May 14th!!!!! how much does that suck?!! I'm thinking graduate school eventually, but like you said I want to do other things first...I would like to get some life experience in there as well, not just spend my entire youth (we're still young!) in a classroom! For the last couple years, I've been thinking about joining the Peace Corps after I graduate, and I still would like to do that or some sort of international volunteering, so that might be my next step in life. Then school again after that, but part time becasue I need a good paying job to pay off all these loans!!
aluxa: I'm double majoring in psychology and sociology with a minor in spanish. I plan on taking a few years off after I graduate and then eventully giong back, I would really like to get my Ph.D, in psychology, and with that either teach at a University or go into a mental health profession. how about you?!
well i'm off! hello everybody else I didn't get to! have a good day!
Jigglefree: I'm so proud of you and how well your doing! You tell that co-worker to stick it where the sun don't shine! You're sexy and you this summer....hot diggidy dog. Glad to her the hubby is on board again. GO TEAM POTTY TRAINNING! Thanks for the support, my big exam is this Thursday! I have 1 Wednesday, 2 Thursday, and 1 project Friday night at midnight.
aluxa: thanks you are so sweet! Yes i'm so excited just one more week left and I'm so nervous and just want to do well this Thursday! My final presentation for Wednesday I'm so not worried about...I'm great at public speaking and really know the material.
susieyarb: keep up the great work you are doing awesome! I'm wishing the best of Luck for you daughter!
I'm getting my game face on this week....Last chance studying and passing the classes. I"m mostly concerned with Thursday night and I told my prof...Watch out! Cuz I'm coming full speed ahead! you know that song, "I got a feeling, that tonight's gonna be a good night." Well for me it's "I got a feeling, that this week's gonna be a good week." Oh yes...last week for the challenge and we can do this!
Jigglefree: thanks Today I cannot say that I’m feeling better, but I’m not feeling worse so I forced myself to walk for a little and I feel better for a while after that. I will see tomorrow how everything goes. I also want to party to celebrate that we are closer to our final goals.
Farn: I would have loved to choose psychology as my major but when I fall in love with psychology it was a little late to choose it. At my college there was a program in which the last classes could be graduate classes and in that way I started to take the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies courses and now I’m close to finish it. I have to write my thesis which has been the only thing that I do not love from the program. I also was able to get a graduate certificate about how to design online and long distance classes. I know that married life and graduate school are hard to combine but it is possible. I love to share knowledge, so I’m thinking to go for a master or PH.D in Spanish to be able to teach about Latin American cultures (it is a misconception to believe that it is a culture), but I feel in many ways silly to go for a Master in Spanish. with your paper!
thanks everyone- My husband is really trying to change and things are going good for now. He said I am his whole world and he almost lost it. He admits to taking me for granted also. I think he learned a lesson, if he returns to his old ways, he's gonna hear about it and maybe we will be over at that point cause then I will know he will never be able to change for good.
Well, I'm finally losing from the binge at the buffet on Sunday. I only lost 3 ounces but at least the water retention is letting loose. 4 lbs to go!
Today was our Anniversary, its been nine years! We went to our favorite park and hiked almost 5miles and it was awesome!
Something else interesting happened today. I got a call from a local medical center requesting an interview tomorrow...HOLY CRAPOLA!
