good morning e1, sry its been awhile but our internet was down again and we just got bk on line last night. ive been trying to keep my calories down but since the internets been down havent been doing my journal. hopefully i can get bk on track. still doing my excercise havent slowed down in that area thank goodness. hope e1 is still motviated and working hard on our goals. Will try to do better next week. ok i'm off for now hopefully when I get home from the pool I can get on the comp. HAGD
I am slightly worried about an upcoming trip with my MIL and SIL, they have decided to treat the grandkids (and me) to a stay at Splash Lagoon to celebrate the end of summer. My son will love being able to run all over the water park with his older cousins and my daughters will have a blast too. I am a bit worried about food...I really do not want to eat pizza and fries for the 1 1/2 days we will be there. You can leave and return so I guess that is what I will do. We are leaving on Monday am and coming home Tues evening, so I have plenty of time to get everything together.
I've got my spinach,mushroom,tomato and basil pizza in the oven so this will be short
I walked the dog today for 45mins. Yesterday was a 45min lower body heavy weight lifting workout followed by some yoga. Tomorrow will be a circuit type workout.
Just popping in to say im still on track and doing well
JD-Awesome job with your workouts and weight loss!

Anyways TTYL I got a zillion & even a zillion more things to do Plus I gotta get all my chores & exercises done in between~ I am still at 146 & Still on plan!
Hello!!!! I'm feeling like a spring chick!!! I finished my two miles and it was great. I had been walking all week on 1200 calories. Well today I actually did a mile run with a one mile walk/run interval. Got a good sweat and I'm anxious about measuring tomorrow. I think I got my flow. Lori - I do understand your frustration with them feeding your kids junk. I had to talk to the daycare and they ask before giving her anything. But they get it. Did you talk to them after the first time they gave them junk...I would have. Well it's over now...for the most part!! Misspriss - I look forward to your daily post because it motivates me to exercise even if I don't want to and I feel better...THANKS. Envelope - I've always done the bring my own snacks...mostly because I was cheap but I think you will do fine. If you bring your own food you will be find but if you have to eat in the park just do the best you can and KEEP WALKING!!! Bigmama - Great job on keeping up with your workouts!!! That is a great accomplishment. Love2b - The shoes are great now. I think I love them, especially the cushion.
Oh yea, I'm starting to feel smaller. Hope it doesn't sound strange but I do. I try not to get to far ahead of myself in thinking about being a size 10 that I get discouraged with slow progress. But I'm hoping for some good progress this week. I'm not sure what to do about getting winter clothes. I guess I will just wait until the times comes to see what size I am. I have nothing to wear when it gets chilly let alone cold. I usually swing by Goodwill to see if I can find something but I'm hoping to be in at least a 12 by the time it gets cold but I want to wait and see because my body is doing some interesting things of late.
thanks all, yes I love my workouts. Whats good about is that all my trainers that works with my group try to make it fun and exciting which helps alot. Last week while the internet was down I missed so much coming in and checking on e1. this is my life. Well ive been doing some reading on the Mayo clinic diet and I really like it. Then last night at the coffee shop where hubby and I go the manager told me the south beach diet was the best from all of the diets. Then this morning in my water arobics class the trainer told me the same thing. Soounds like someone is hinting that i need to try it so Ive got the book and fixing to read on it. What do you all think about it? have a good evening and a safe one
challenge was to loose 10 lbs by Labor Day ive met my goal. ready for the next one
I didn't lose as much as I thought yesterday, only 2 ounces. Can't understand that. I had 1305 cal today, which was perfect. If I don't lose tomorrow, I will really be confused. Maintaining is so much harder than losing weight, I study what I eat, calories and what time of the day I eat, I tracked it all on sparkpeople so I can look at my history. I do it every night, it is like an obsession to know what I'm supposed to be doing to stay around the same weight. Either my body is totally screwed up or it's just too much for me to handle and undertand.
Jiggle ~Only got a quick sec but wanted to say....took them to there program today(which was there last night at Bible school) & it was adorable...Told them to take it easy on the junk food & they listened.....MY son weighed in this morning He did not lose this week nor did he gain which was good news I just didn't wanna see his hard work be gone! I Still decided not to send them next year...I will do my own thing with them or find another place that doesn't do stuff like that so badly if they are interested in going next summer. Anyways soooo worn out must go to bed.TTYL HUGS*
Finally able to log on here. My internet has been fine but this site has been giving me problems! aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ok lol
I have to make this quick the bf and I are going to pick up parts for his race car in a few and I will be on later to get to everyone
I'm sore from my workout and loving it! I'm taking today and tomorrow off and then starting back up...we will see how I feel after my first day monday, hopefully I have enough energy to work out in the evenings. I lost another pound so that makes 4 lbs over all and 3 more to go! The bf wanted White Castle last night at 10pm and I didn't even have 1 bite proud of myself! Now to keep it up for today,....big thing here in the detroit area in Michigan...it's the Woodward Dream Cruise...losts of parties and crappy food. Well sorry but I gtg....hope you all have a wonderful weekend
Lori - I have the same issue with church camps, my son and 1 daughter have life threatening allergies to peanut and treenuts and they are hiding in all kinds of candies. My son, at 10, is really good about it, but my daughter is only 5 and gets upset when everyone else can have the candy and she can't. I also worry that she will trust someone who is uniformed and eat something she should not and go into anaphalaxis. I will say that since working with a camp for the last 2 years, they have gotten much better about the sweets. It is just that the volunteers in each section want to give the kids a treat and unfortunately candy is pretty inexpensive compared to playdoh or silly string or even fruit.
Jigglefree - I am cheap too! I am also curious about what size I will be in when it comes to winter. Starting in mid Nov. I have to start dressing professionally and I am hoping my mom's closet will have a few staples, then I can pick up more if I need.
Jdon - Have fun on the Woodward cruise!
Fruitlady - (((hugs))) Our bodies are amazing and completely confusing works of art. I think you should stick to your new calorie range and try to keep your ice cream to a minimum and in a few weeks or even a month, give yourself sometime to settle into the new cal range, then evaluate where you are. I know my body does not immediately 'show' my efforts on the scale. Just recently I had a 9 day stall and I was not doing a thing differently than I had before. Then all of a sudden 'wooooooosh' and the efforts from the prior 9 days started to show up. KWIM?
Good Morning! Got a question. Im trying to fine imformation on measureing your body fat % and measureing you lean body mass and measureing body fat mass. Can anyone help me with this? cant seem to fine it in my tops book' e1 have a good day check in later
Envelope, yesterday I was at 174.0 today I am at 173.2. My scale is really toying with me. I too would leave and return the park. One and a half days of eating fries and pizza I'd be doomed. Have fun with your in-laws and the kids. Great was to end the summer before school starts.
Amelia your pizza sounds tasty Great job on keeping the workouts planned. I slacked off today with 30DS but I will get my walk in
Lori, I had that problem in one of our sons classroom. I don't want him eating candy every day. Luckily he would bring it home because they weren't allowed to eat it in class, but it was quite upsetting to him that I would take it. So I asked his teacher to stop. I think that people should put the shoe on the other foot. Would they want someone to give their children junk everyday? I'd think not. Maybe if you change your mind next year and allow them to go you could send snack.
Jiggle glad the shoes are your friend now that definitely helps. I am with you on the clothes buying. It's interesting some of the 12's I bought are big in the waist while others are too tight now. Yet the fit when I bought them, hummm. I got 4 pairs of jeans from Goodwill 3 I could zip I pair I just liked. Two pairs I can still fit, one pair I can't and the other I am still waiting. It's interesting. Yet my weight is going down. I am confused. Thanks for listening.
NorthernExposure I am bloated still also, TTOM coming, yay me
BigMamaTexas, great job on the workouts, I've been looking at the South Beach recipes. They look tasty, haven't tried any yet
Dcapulet, I'm sure that is motivation enough. Best of luck on finding a great place
OK gotta finish catching up when I get back going for my 3 mile walk. BBL
so this will be short
for keeping up with your exercises..
I will pop back in on Sunday with hopefully a loss for the week
Hope all is good with all~Sorry I have been too Busy to check in.
but I think you will do fine. If you bring your own food you will be find but if you have to eat in the park just do the best you can and KEEP WALKING!!!
