Check In Time
Yesterday was OP - planning for a busy OP day today.
I'm down another pound or so :carrot: so that's good news.

Pretty sure I'll make my August weight goal & my goal for Labor Day.

Hope you have a great day!

Today's Weigh-in: 254.5 (-1.5 for August!)
Alrighty! Today's Plan:
Eat 1200 Calories (So far on plan!)
Burn 1/2 of those Calories (CHECK! - AND MORE!)
*I FINALLY WENT OVER 5 MINUTES ON THE ELLIPTICAL! I DID 7!*
*I UPPED MY SPEED ON WALKING AND UPPED MY LEVEL ON THE BIKE*
*WORKED PAST MY CARDIO AND INTO THE IRONWORKS ROOM!*
Drink 1/2 my weight in oz of water = 127.25 oz -roughly a gallon (HALF WAY THERE!)

I am going to do this!

Happy Monday to everyone! I worked this weekend, so I am soooooo glad that it is OVER!
I have updated the list, If I have missed anyone/anything, please let me know. Congrats to all those who are moving toward their August goal. Welcome all newcomers, BTW It is NEVER too late to start on this thread! (or re-start for that matter!)
My food choices were less than steller this weekend, Luckily, there was not much opportunity to eat. So I did manage a loss overall. YAY, I will take whatever I can get. MY official weigh in Is tomorrow. I can change my ticker then. I think I will go back to bed for a much needed nap.
I hope everyone has a really fabulous day!

KayakGal 08-16-2010 01:08 PM

I am a restarter. I am not giving up on onederland yet but the 70,000 steps a
week has been a bust. I had a rough couple of weeks but I am back
on track now.
Congratulations, Hlthgrl and fivestone for reaching your goals.

Have a great day everyone!

Ms Perception 08-16-2010 05:18 PM

I've been off track here for a few days. The injuries and activities of the past few days have got my mind kinda messed up. I lost focus. I'm feeling a little better now mentally...that is if my darling kids don't drive me insane with their arguing today!
Here's to restarting and ending the month well!

susiemartin 08-17-2010 06:58 AM

Check In Time :)

I'm getting impatient to get out of the 230's. I know that I'm making progress, but the 230's seem to be taking forever................ hurry up 229!


Hope your day is a good one!

TheBunneh 08-17-2010 09:36 AM

I haven't posted here much - been meaning to, I just get sidetracked every time I start! Congrats to those who met their goals already. :carrot:

I weighed in at 177.8 this morning. Just a pound away from 176 goal, and so far I've been keeping up with my 5 workouts/wk, though I've been struggling with it and with calories.

I can NOT believe August is over halfway over. Geeeesh, is there like a vortex in my apartment sucking time away or something?? :dizzy:

I have a doctors appointment next week to get my thyroid checked and see if maybe that's why I'm so exhausted all the time. I was diagnosed with an under active thyroid when I was a kid but never medicated, then a couple years later I was retested and told levels were normal. But apparently you can test normal and still have a thyroid condition. Oddly, part of me is afraid that I don't have hypothyroidism because if I do at least it means there's hope to fix how bad I feel all the time. And the other part of me is just scared to see a doc for the first time since I was 14. :o

Lewisempire 08-17-2010 11:31 AM

hello ladies!
Weighed in today, ANd I am proud to say I am back on track 204.4. I will really have to get a move on to make onederland this month. I am really gonna focus on my Water intake.

SusieMartin- I just wanted to say Way to go. I know it must feel like you are just pluggin along, but 37 POUNDS???? OMG that is soooo awesome! I am really proud of you and your stick-to-itness! Keep up the great work!

Thebunneh-good luck at thedoctors, I will say a prayer for you. Let us know how it goes.

MsP- Hugs, girl!!!!!! Let's push through til the end of August. Maybe we should start our POP for 7 days thing again. Lord knows I could use a little friendly competition.

LE Thanks for the encouragement!

Yesterday was OP - planning for another today. I'm getting ready to start painting the grain shed :cool:
Hopefully I'll have it done by the end of the weekend and I will have completed 2 of my 3 goals.

Hope your day is a good one!
