Hi ladies! I've been away since beginning of summer - not paying much attention to what I eat and as a result have put on 5 lbs. since about June 1. I'm about 170 now - will get my official weight next Monday and update my ticker. Hope you have all been having a great summer. I'm looking forward to getting back to my WEED! The "spare" house I've been trying to sell since February might be sold now - short sale - much more preferable to the foreclosure that was looming in distance. That should help reduce my stress levels. I see that we've grown in numbers. Look forward to getting to know everyone who has joined since begin of summer. Jeanette
So I have hit the ground running today. I just started my diet yesterday. I feel good about this and Im ready. I am struggling a little bit being hungry today but I will get through it. Im still forming a plan of attack here so my WEED may seem a bit vague..for now
W: 64oz or more
E: will find an old dvd or VHS exercise tape and use it or just walk 30 min
E: will stay away from fried food and junk cal 1200-1350
D: to stay focused on the end goal..to be heathly for my grandchildren

Welcome to the group Jen, your WEED looks great! Try not to go hungry. Make sure you fill your diet up with protein.

Mindy~ I know how you feel. my cycle is very crazy these days.
Kim~ I hope your friend works out her problems.

Momto6inOH~ Welcome back!!!
mtiger~ Just gotta love TOM! How are you doing today?
I have had the worse heartburn over the couple days and I can't put my finger on what is causing it. I just realized I never explained what happened to the missing cat. He did finally come back, but we weren't able to get him into the vet until Monday due to his late absence and the vet closing. He has asthma. I know it's not funny, but I kinda think it is... a cat with asthma...
Antacids don't even touch my heartburn, so I'm hoping to be rid of it by this afternoon! *burp*
7/21/2010 WEED
W~ 110oz. H20 E~ Waitressing tonight E~ Stay within WW Points D~ Figure out what is giving me heartburn and remedy it!
W: moving the magnet on the card on the fridge to note how much water I drink
E: walk, Callanetics, stretches and something just for fun, perhaps a few Yogatic stretches
E: enjoying my plan
D: accepting where I am and not putting pressure on myself to be where I'm not
TIARA, that was a productive lazy day, good going My lazy days mean a back load of laundry, (which I am doing today) with a house of 7, it is a must to wash everyday, even though I don't always do it.
Jeni, if I didn't have my scale I would probably lose it. I do get a little upset when the number doesn't change but I have learned from 3FC to be patient, stay strong and stay OP. And I am taking that advice and hugging my scale
Mothermavis, did you mean to say dreadmill? That is too funny You'll feel great after 98 more days.
Kim, I hope the heartburn goes away soon And on the subject of the cat ... one of our dogs takes benadryl for her allergies. It was recommended by her veterinarian for her runny nose, red eyes and sometimes hives. They are humans with fur that can't talk
Hi Popcorn
SilverLife, I love that JOY and VICTORY to you also
Well yesterday's WEED went well. I didn't get to go out to walk due to the rain but I did do a Leslie Sansone DVD that we bought. I did the one and two mile and I must admit it gave me a definite workout. I liked it, need to buy more, emailed a few to hubby to buy off ebay Yes he was sitting right here, silly I know. hehehe
Todays W.E.E.D.
W ~ 64oz plus so far I've only drank about 40oz
E ~ Leslie Sansone DVD again ... Bible Study this evening
E ~ Stay on point no skipping meals
D ~ Get the laundry put away (today)
Ok day two! thank you everyone for the kind words about my WEED. I did pretty good on water yesterday (maybe not 64oz) but close. Will do better today. I didnt exercise in a traditional way but I worked up a sweat cleaning up the house last night! I could only find Billy Blanks dvds and Im not ready for him yet! haha. I will very well on calories, In a way I think Im almost scared of what to eat but Im working on that too. I am still focused and excited about my old cute size 8s in the attic from 2007 ( I really dont want to be smaller than I was beforebut who knows) I was comfortable and confident in my attic clothes!
here is todays W.E.E.D
W: TRY TO GET UP TP 64OZ
E: Will take a brisk walk or chase around my grandkids for 30 minutes
E: will keep in mind that I must eat to lose (I seem to over indulge or starve) looking for the happy medium
D: remain positive and focused. I love that I have love2b150 and EVERYONE here to share my journey with!
Jennifer we are in this together for the long haul.
I just finished up 3 miles with Leslie Sansone, woohoo. What a great workout, I am energized. Before the workout I had two slices of spinach Alfredo pizza from CiCi's = 170cal, 6g protein and 8% calcium per slice, but 380g of sodium whew horrid. Oh well got my treat and gotta drink the rest of my water plus some to get rid of the water the sodium is gonna bring. But it was so good.
Bad day today. My boss, 1 month from retirement died in his sleep last night. He was a great and wonderful man. I worked out next to him yesterday at the gym. I am so horribly sad.
