Weekly Chat 6/6-6/12
 

Well, it's a brand new (gloomy) day and time to start getting serious about this weight loss stuff. That means water, water, water and exercise (blech). It means NO more cheats and NO EXCUSES!! I want this weight I gained off by July 4th so I can start where I was before Halloween and all those other lovely Holidays. I've got to realise I've got to be serious or stay this weight (or heavier). No choice there!!!

Good Morning :)

Come on Brenda, you can do it !!!! We're rootin for you.

I had a good weekend, went over a little to much on calories but I ate very healthy. Lots of fruits and veggies. I even passed up buying terra chips which is an earth shattering thing for me b/c I love them and they were on sale. I gotta stop buying that crap and trying to justify it. Instead I bought a watermelon ;)

Whats shakin girlies ?

Good Morning!
 

Starting fresh again today...hopped on the scale, and Im up 6lbs!! :fr: I have to smarten up!! Water is already out in my big jug, Im going to make some eggs for breaky and get the chicken out to thaw. I have good intentions today!

Have a good day everyone

hehe the only kind of cheating I like to do is hopping on the scale every morning :-p I will probably stop after induction, but it is really cool to see the pounds slide off every day...so far I am on day 6 and lost 11 lbs! :)

Leenie: :wave: How's it going? Congrats on passing up the junk and gettin healthy foods!!

Robin: Water is a good start! You can do it!

Clare: keep up the great work! Sounds like you're doing it all right!!

Well, so far I've gotten 16 OZ of water in and some exercise. Well, not sure how much to count it as. I was traipsing back and forth across the yard carrying branches and dead tree stump. But I bet we were working on that plus the garden for at least 1/2 hour...so counting it as a mile :lol: So I'm counting today as a success. Sure, it's not over yet. But I've already got supper planned and I'm not even hungry! I can't WAIT for the weight to start flipping off again. Then again, can't wait to FEEL thin again!!!

Morning chickies, up and at 'em!

Coffee with the girls this morning an little man is off on a field trip today...
We are going to hit 90 or above today so it is going to be HOT! 2 weeks ago we had to put the heat on...Welcome to New England.

have a good one, and drink up.
-L

L: You sound like you're getting the weather we are. We just turned the heat off also and now have to go buy an air conditioner because it's so hot! We're supposed to be mid-80's or 90's. Plus t-storms coming this afternoon.

DH went to a Yankee game (in Milwaukee. Quite a drive from us!!) last night so of course I didn't sleep too well. Now I'm tired and in desperate need of a nap. So I'm going to eat my hard boiled eggs and go back to bed. This day is going to be useless for cleaning!!! Oh well, make up for all I did yesterday :lol: NOT stepping on the scale for a couple weeks. Going to give my body a chance to surprise me :lol:

Good Morning

Its been hot here too!! All the windows have been open and all the fans on. I still have to put the pellets away for the wood stove!! At least we have sunshine.....for today, they are calling for t-storms for the rest of the week.

I made it thru yesterday!! :cb: Even heard from the ex, and didnt go on a hoho binge!! Im quite proud of myself. Dil is back in the hospital, the clot she has in her leg has quadrupled in size. They operated on her yesterday, and put a filter in her stomach, but they cant seem to do anything for the clots except give her blood thinners. She might be back home tonight. I find it so strange that with all they can do these days, they cant go in and get the clots out. :shrug:

Even with all this going on, the stress level had dropped considerably!! So, I think I'll make it thru today too!!

Have a great day ladies!

Robin - So sorry to hear about your DIL. Those blood clots, their prevention and treatment are a mystry to me and it sounds like they are to the medical community also! I will send healing vibes your way.

*waves* Hi to everyone. Busy, very hot-then-turned-cool, dateless, & non-motivated diet-wise here. Pants are getting a bit snug so I need to cut down on my intake again.

Where is Dottie? I miss her.....

Kel

Robin: Sorry to hear about the DIL and hope they can figure out something to help her soon. Has she gone for a 2nd opinion? Congrats on staying OP!!

Kel: :wave: If you can figure out a motivator for staying OP let me know cuz I could use it too!!

Well, the weather is hot and of course no AC in the house. Time to go shopping!!!!

HEEEELLLLLOOOOOO LADIES!!!! :) :)

I'mmmmm baaack!

Good to see you gals that are still here and looks like I have some new chickies to meet!!! I finally am starting to get my life back in order, computer fixed, and back to 3FC!!! Well I went on a little vacation from being good and pretty much gained back most of my weight and now I am getting back to basics, coming back to my chickies who I missed so much and getting back on track. I found that I REALLY need to do equator trek and food log to keep myself in check, not to mention support from all of you gals who mean the world to me, I am so sorry for being MIA I was just not in a good place. I hope you all will take me back, cause I missed ya!

I am kinda doing a modified LC thingy & lotsa exercise. LC but adding in some fruits and whole grains. So tomorrow is my big day, first day back to getting on track and back to visiting with you all.

Happy Tuesday! :)

Good morning ladies,
nice to meet you Theo...
Off for a walk with a friend this morning. Older boy is off on a whale watch today and the weather is looking pleasantly wonderful!
I work in the school library today, last one for this year and other than that feeling good.

hope you all have a great Wednesday! :wave:
-L

Wow L, whale watching.....thats just so cool!! I hope he has a great time!!!

Theo~ welcome back!!

Dh and I spent the day yesterday getting a sign made...after some choice words, and mistakes we finally got it done just before supper. Then after supper we found out that all the vinyl dh cut in the afternoon wasnt actually cut because the knife was jammed in the machine!! More choice words :lol: Sometimes working together is a good thing, other times its not :dizzy: I have to admit though, we both know when to leave the other one alone. Dh came down to check my progress...when he was greeted with hostility, he asked me if he should just go away :p poor guy! Of course I told him yes!! :lol: So he made me a cup of coffee, gave me a kiss, and went away. We love each other again today :lol:

I have more sign stuff to do today, but Im on my own for the most part, I can be irritated by myself.

Dil is home, they decided not to do the 2nd surgery to go in and disolve the clots. She has a home nurse coming in for a few days to give her, her shots of blood thinners. Hopefully this will fix things this time. Someone asked yesterday about 2nd opinions....she's had many and even went to a different hospital this time so she could get someone else. At least this time they did the surgery, last time they told her she didnt need it! :mad:

Eating was pretty good yesterday. I may have overdid it a bit at supper time, but it was all legal foods, and I was really hungry since I didnt eat much during the day. (had a sign to finish) So, Im counting yesterday as a success. 2 down!!

Thats whats happening in my corner of the world......have a great day ladies!

Wednesday
 

TG: Welcome back!!! Summer is here and the sound of fruit...YUMMY!! You can do this!!

L: Whale watching sounds like fun. Enjoy your day!!

Robin: Sounds like you and your DH have the system all worked out. I'm still trying to break my DH into leaving oldest DD alone when she's in THAT mood. Silly guy thinks he should be able to joke his way out of it. All I tell him is back away VERY slowly :lol:

Well, I listened to DH and didn't get an AC yesterday. BIGGGG mistake!!! So we're going to get one today. He's not feeling well so not expecting much help from him today. The girls...they're a different story! :lol: We're going to get the dishes done and some of the clothes folded and GONE. Winter clothes packed up and so on. That's the goal for today. Then again, no AC then probably no work :lol: Ate chinese last night so can't count that as a success. But I'm still feeling "thin" so I'm not worrying about it. Just making sure I go on and do better. I've GOT to kick this fat thing. My shorts are getting too tight!! Well, off to go have a couple hard boiled eggs for breakfast and then get some more cleaning done.

Good morning ladies!!!

Great to hear from old friend chickies and meet new ones!! Today is the first day back on track....or the rest of my life!! LOL :)


L- have a great walk!! I hope our weather holds so i can take one too, Oregon is still raining in June which is weird for us.

Robin- you are a saint to be bale to work with DH, we would kill eachother of I had to work with mine!! LOL :) Hope all goes well with your DIL.

B- Great to hear you, YES I am ready for summer and some fruits, I got some plums yesterday and cannot wait to try them, now if the weather could feel like summer I would be totally happy!! :)

Off to work, brought lots of legal snackes and some lunch, gotta keep that metabolism UP!!!
