Morning Weeders!!! Hope we all had a great OP weekend. I DID NOT drink on Saturday night at bowling! It was not as fun without a bit of spirits but at least I didn't feel guilty about it!!! I bowled like garbage, 134, 141, 147 pfffff. But with my streak of good games, I had it coming. I should have gone to the gym on Saturday afternoon but we had a picnic/ block party to go to so I had to take the kids to bumper bowling then make some dishes to take with us. I think a good Saturday workout helps me bowl better on sat nights. Then we took the kids and golfed on Sunday (par 3 course) Robert got to golf for the first time and he had fun. I didn't do so great but was happy to get out there and do it. Even Rachel golfed a little (we let her putt on the greens)

Clykk, I'm so sorry about your FIL....so interesting when older people lose their mates, but especially interesting given his history. The heart must know. And now they're together forever. Hope you and your family hang in there. It must be such a shock.

More personals later, got a lunch to pack and bookbag to make sure is packed too. xoxoxoo Michelle

Hiya WEED'ers!

Ditto what nchellie said clykkie . . . the heart must know. Hang in there Girl!

Ahhhh, another Sunday of Football Devastation - good thing I'm off the beer . . . Definitely would have either been crying in it OR crushing full unopened cans with my bare fists as I watched the Rams disintegrate. HolyT's Cowboys will be smacking these beotches UP next Sunday . . . very painful.

I stayed delightfully WEEDED over the weekend - Posted a 2lb loss today . . . I am an Exercise Demon now - a total gym rat . . . feeling good from my head to my shoes . . . etc etc.

Just got the call that life is taking a dramatic twist at work - this will have me totally OFF schedule - gotta keep my new wol going strong somehow - amid the turmoil.

Better take a loooooong hit O'Weed:

W: Yes auddie, you can still drink it no matter WHERE you are here in this industrialized nation - there is a free flowing supply!

E: Yes auddie, you can still do some - just in different places and different forms - DO IT!

E: Yes auddie, you can stay OP no matter the circumstances - PLAN & DO IT!

D: This too shall pass.
Rinse.
Repeat.

Clykk I'm sorry for your loss.


Good Monday to everyone. I didn't make it to the gym at all sat or sun I was a bit under the weather on saturday (OK I drank too much Friday) but as the day wore on it felt more like the flu than a hangover. Sunday was just sick: tired, achy, dizzy, sore throat. . .so I figured get better then go to the gym. I feel mostly better today. I am going to be taking some allergy pills to see if that helps. Anyway with my excuses out of the way I am hoping to go to the gym when DH gets off of work.

Eating was good this weekend (of course because I didn't feel well) I plan on keeping it going through the week.

w 80 oz no problem
e I hope 35 minutes
e 1200 cals
d housework as always; taking a walk with the kids, calling my eyedoctor for a check up

Morning, WEEDers! It's a lovely day out and I got to sleep in late. I have a class in a few hours and some work to do beforehand, so I'll be brief. Hope the rest of you ladies are having a kick-*** day!

W- 100-150oz

E- Head to the gym after class tonight for 20 minutes of HIIT and some weights

E- On Plan!

D- Make it to the gym tonight--no excuses!

I have to admit, I am still in shock. The burial is tomorrow. Maybe reality will kick in then and some tears will flow.

My w/i was today. I had TOM on the scale with me and I am happy to say I am holding strong at 156. I will be curious to see what I weigh next week with TOM gone.

jeni -

aud & Michelle - Good work on not caving on the alcohol commitment!

W - 64 oz.
E - Weights
E - Input high-water content foods
D - One day at a time.

Where, oh where is glitterlicious!!!!

Carolyn. We love ya!

everyone.

Back is feeling better but now my car is acting up. BFF had a near death experience in it last night and I can definitely tell it's close to breaking down completey. So I've decided to go ahead and put it in the shop before it breaks down completely on the side of the road. I don't have ANY money to get it fixed but I see no other way. It'll just have to stay there until I can get the money somehow. *sigh*

Afternoon weeders. I am feeling like week 4 has me not doing so good. I was up 2 pounds this weekend but my good sense tells me it is only because i have had more sodium than usual and less water than usual. So...I have been downing water all day long trying to flush my system out. BUT.....I have to admit...I have not eaten very well at all today. I started out good with scrambled egg whites and low fat cheese, but then someone brought in this gorgeous double layer chocolate cake, with a cream cheese middle and chocolate frosting with cream cheese decorating the top of it...and along the outside of the cake was chocolate chips aaaaaalllllll over it. I had a slice. I am sooooo ashamed of myself. And then to top that off.....my ex's sister invites me out to a free lunch. We go mexican. I got two of those chalupas or enchiladas with the shell around it and chicken inside and the melted white cheese all over it. Ooooohhhh...it was soo good. And then the rice on the side. But i did have water with it. Anyways, i just feel like i have been really bad. But dinner tonight is homemade veggie soup.

Should be going back to the gym tonight. But i think I am just going to be walking around the track and maybe trying out a stair machine if they have one. Apparently I got more excersize in yesterday than i realized. my arms and upper legs are very sore today. So, i think i'll take it easy but at least go to the gym. I think it's been like 3 weeks since i went...although i told the ex who is paying that it's only been a week. ooops.

W- 8 glasses (doing good, already got 6 in and it's only 4:30)
E- walk around the indoor track for 30 minutes and see how long i can go on the stair machine
E- try to not over do it at dinner tonight
D- tomorrow is a new day...try harder!!!

Hi gals! I did make it to the gym last night, I felt really god about that. I think I got most of my weed in yesterday (just a little short on the water and a little high on cals but not too much)

Back at work for a day, then to swim lessons and a quick workout come home for a quick dinner bed then back at the gym tomorrow. well thats todays plan.


W 80 oz
E 35 minutes
E 1200 cals
D cut back on some cals today, trying to cut down to 1200 a day for a while

Hello Everyone!

I joined your group over a month ago and then I go MIA! Nothing to do with all of you, just me! I broke the chain of my routine and now I'm starting all over again. I'm back to lap swimming for 30 min. p/day and it feels so good & refreshing! I haven't been brave enough to hop on the scale though. I'll have to one of these days. (On a day that I feel skinny!?!) I'm trying my hardest to stay away from Dairy Queen & Culver's again, because I had a real weak spot for Turtle Sundaes & Blizzards. Shame on me, I know! Once we close down our pool for the winter I'm thinking about trying that booty ballet DVD that they reviewed here at 3FC. Sounds motivating to me, at least I hope so!
Well, my DH keeps talking to me, so I'm going to stop posting for now. Hope to see you all again real soon! TTFN

Okay....today is a new day. So far, so good.

My WEED for today:

W- 8 8 oz glasses
E- 1200-1300 calories
E- going to the gym again. Not sure if I am going to step class or working out with weights with a new friend at the gym. (he's got great looking muscles, maybe he can help me with mine!!)
D- Today is going to be AWESOME!! I can do this!!!

Oh WEEEEEEEEED'ers . . . It's the last week of Septemmmmmmmmber . . . . Come out . . . Come out wherever you aaaaaaaarrrrrrreeeee????!!! We can DO THIS!!!!!!!!!

Hang in there with the car trouble jlea and WB freckles! WTG with the exercise buddy lumi! Busybusybusy as always, eh jcat? Glad you're feeling better. Yes, I'm ready to have a "kick-*** day", thank you very much azzie! clykk & her dh are in my thoughts & prayers today, as well.

W: Step it up aud!

E: Rise to this challenge and get thee to the Y!

E: Resist junk treats offered on picket line - stay OP!

D: Change can be good - enjoy these extra evening with Family - RELAX!

I love being busy with my daughter! my son starts his sports class next month for the first time (since he will be 2) Makie will be right there with him. (plus DH and I volunteer to help the coach keep the kids rounded up!) Speaking of Tommy sent out his birthday invites on yesterday. I cant believe he will be 2 and already trying to potty train. I swear he is so advanced I cant stand it. I get the "your child should be able to do this by age 3" literature and he has already done all of it. But then I AM biased...

so my weed isn't going to quite work out today, I think I am canceling my workout (ONLY because I forgot to take dinner out and it will take me longer to cook it and I cant starve my poor children) BUT I will work out for atleast an hour tomorrow morning. Okay I better go

I didn't post a WEED today?! What's up with that? Well, I guess it's better late than never, right? How about I post one for tomorrow instead? That way, I don't forget tomorrow morning! Plus, I've already accomplished my W, E, E and D for today, anyway

So, tomorrow's big hit o' WEEDiness is *drumroll*:

W- 100-150oz

E- Up and attem' early! Get up at 6 to hit the gym by 7! Time for Weights and HIIT (back on the Turbulence Training program!)

E- On plan! I've got a lunch date planned with a friend, so I've got to make good choices at lunch! Probably a Chicken Caesar Salad sans crutons or some sort of protein/veggie.

D- Drag your butt out of bed, no matter what it takes!

I am feeling a bit better this morning about my week. I was FINALLY back down to 144 this morning...so that has me feeling good..but will i see 143 by the end of the month???? i don't know.... I did okay on my Weed yesterday...a little lower on the water than i had hoped but still pretty good about everything else. I skipped gym class and tried the Ellipitcal for about 35 minutes. Well...that was....fun???? I think I liked my class better.

Todays weed.

W- 8 glasses
E- finally going to eat my pork chop i've been trying to eat all week. Stay at 1200-1300 calories.
E- My hour long Ultra do all class tonight at the the gym
D- only 5 pounds to Halloween goal...I can do this!!!!

Hope everyone else is doing great towards their goals.

. . . Back to work . . . Back to structure . . . Back from the brink of insanity!

Mellowing out now with the clarity that only WEED can bring:

W: At least 100oz - gotta flush out my late last night binge

E: Upper Body/abs/push-ups & power walk

E: Stay OP - it works ya know.

D: This too definitely needs to pass!
