How'd it go?????
You can do it, Tyla!

Everything went well. I only had a glass of wine, so my total cals ended up being 1350 for the day. I also did 45 minutes of exercise and drank 12 glasses of water.

Yesterday I did one of my yoga dvd, which was so much easier than the class. The instructor went slower and focused on breathing, which I really liked. The dvd is for weight loss, but since you hardly move I don't see how you burn any cals. cals for yesterday: 1380 exercise: 35 water: 12

Yay!!! Glad you were able to stay on track during the night out.

I had a great Saturday out with a friend. Had McD's in the morning, but managed to keep it lean for the evening. Went to a buffet today, but again, hoping to keep it lean in the evening.

Sorry I haven't been here, but I got sick the last few days. I had some kind of weird flu, but I'm starting to feel better tody. I have been in my cal range, haven't exercised, but am drinking my water. I missed my line dancing class today, so you know I wasn't feeling well. Darn!

Hope all is well with you!

(((((Tyla)))))
Glad you're feeling better now. There will be other line dancing classes... ;)
I'm hanging in there. Feel like I've been too busy lately and after oversleeping this morning and almost missing an appointment, I just had to call it and let something go. Was supposed to go to symphony rehearsal tonight, but that got cut and I stayed in to practice for the gig tomorrow instead.

Food has not been the greatest at all. Lots of starchy refined carbs (ciabatta roll and bagels... ugh) but I'm trying to be aware of it instead of judging and beating myself up.

Alexis, thank you for the hugs. I guess I spoke too soon about feeling better. I've been in bed all day today. Am dizzy and coughing a lot. I'm not sure how I regressed. The good part is that I'm not eating a whole lot. Can't exercise, though.

Wow, you're in a symphony. What instrument do you play?

Gotta get back to bed now.

Let's keep at this. So glad we're working at achieving our goals together.

Absolutely, Tyla!!! We are in it to win it: to Easter and beyond!!! I've been slacking lately, but aim to tighten up the slack now.

Take care of yourself now. Drink tons of liquid, and rest as much as you can. (Sure you've heard it before, but it bears repeating...)

"Symphony" sounds so much more impressive than "orchestra" (which is really what it is...) but it is lovely to be playing with a giant group again. I play violin/viola (viola in the orch) I hadn't played for years and just recently started back up again. I want to keep the momentum going, though. I'm trying to learn a concerto just to have under my belt.

Feel like my week is all downhill from here. Have a women's group tomorrow evening, meeting up with a girlfriend on Friday, then yoga Saturday AM (with the distant possibility of a group in the AM instead, but not entirely sure...) then church on Sunday, then it's my "off" week, which is just super. As of now, the only thing I have scheduled is baby-sitting on Wed.

Aiming to take it easy the rest of the night. May try to put in another hour or so of practice, but we'll see where that takes us...

Onward and upward!

I just wanted to touch base, only for a minue. Then it's back to bed. (I'm not ususally like this, but maybe it's time for me to slow things down a bit.)

I think it's so great, that you're taking up the viola again. I love music and the arts.

Not eating as much as I usually do, which is a good thing. Got to go.

Talk to you soon.

Yuck, tyla... Being sick is so not fun... Although sometimes it does make you reassess priorities and put your health and well-being back up there near the top. Do you feel like you've been doing too much lately?

I'm coming down off a busy week and definitely feeling the need to take better care of myself (more sleep). Took it easy last night and that was very long overdue. Am also hoping for a restful weekend, so that's a plus. Feel like I could have reacted to the stress better, though. (mindless eating never helped anything).

Aiming to lock it down and kick it into high gear for the next three weeks! Easter is just around the corner!!!

3 more weeks until Easter?! I wasn't aware it was so close! Better get my act together, too.

Yes, things have been a little hectic for me lately, so I've been pretty stressed. No wonder allergies turned into something bronchial and flu-like. I'm still kind of dizzy. But I feel better at times.

Sorry about yesterday not being a "thin day" for you. I know all about stress and overeating, but I'm really trying to stop that habit this time. I put on weight too easily when I do that. And I take forever to lose it. The fact that we're working at this together has helped me tremendously. Thanks for being here with me. Let's keep strong over the weekend. :hug:

That happens to me all the time (Allergies+Stress= Flu) No fun at all...
Glad you're back up and kicking, though.

I managed to reign myself in and had a spectacularly on plan next two days, which resulted in a total loss of 2lbs for my official weigh in this morning. I'm at 150.8 and in those three weeks, would love to be at or around 144... That's just two lbs per week.... Totally do-able IF I stick with it. Feel like this is going to be an uphill battle b.c of the lovely hormones, but if I can just keep my eye on the ball, there's no reason why we can't nail this...

Happy Sunday!

Today was a gorgeous day! Not only was the sun shining, but my hubby and I went to the mountains, where it began to snow a little. It's not supposed to do that this time of the year. But it was beautiful!

Needless to say, I'm feeling so much better!! I've been doing well eating-wise, and this week I'll be getting back to my exercise!

Congrats on your weight loss!!!! Let's keep doing well. :)

I'm proud to say that I've been in range the whole 19 days of this month! That's huge for me!

Way to go, Tyla!!!! That's fantastic!!!!
(Wish I could say the same...)

I've kept on track with my own goals, but have not stayed within my recommended calorie range by a long shot. Ah, well...

I'm happy to say that I'm finally back to 139. I went up several lbs., but I'm finally able to start heading back downward again... even if its 2 ounces at a time. (I'm a slow loser.)

We can do this!

lol - Yay for being back at ticker weight. I hear that loud and clear. I get antsy whenever I'm above the weight in my stats...

I'm a slow loser, too and it's more difficult being in a lower BMI category to begin with... Ah, well... they do say slow and steady wins the race. And teamwork, baby! We can DO it!!!

PS - Would love to know more about you! I'm 29, live in Northern NJ and work as an office manager for a chimney/fireplace contractractor (who is the father of my oldest friend). Am ardently looking for my next position, though (and he fully supports this). Possibly looking at the medical/healthcare field (possibly thinking public health or healthcare management...) Doing all the reading I can to get more information. (Currently Atul Gawande's The Checklist Manifesto -- it's fascinating!)

Staying within my range, but haven't exercised since I got sick. I still feel kind of blah, so I'm just taking things slowly. I feel like I'm losing ground when I don't exercise, however. So I can't wait to feel 100%!

About me, I live in the west, have started a business teaching wellness classes and am also thinking about going back to school. I would love to get my masters in counseling. I've got a lot of reseach to do!

Let's continue to stay strong. Easter is almost here!!

Ooooh, wellness classes. Cool!
And my mom just finished up her masters in counseling. (She works for a graduate school of couseling) Working on getting her licenture now. She's fantastic and really loves it, too.

Easter is less than 3 weeks away. (more like 2 weeks and a few days...)
I'm up a bit today from TOM nonsense, but trying not to let that derail me... Stay on target!!! (I tell myself)

Yesterday was my first day back to exercising. I'm easing into it. I did 15 minutes of Zumba and walked for a half hour. Can't wait to feel well enough to get back on the elliptical. These allergies really did a number on me this time!

Stay strong. I'll do the same. I was actually tempted yesterday, but I distracted myself until I got a handle on these. Today I'm happy about that.

Let's do this thing!

Glad you felt well enough to exercise and good for you for distracting yourself. I've heard that most cravings only last for 30 minutes, so I think to myself "Just give it 30 mins" and reassess then... Most of the time, I forget what I wanted before the 30 mins are up.

I just started back in on exercising last Tue after getting sick at the beginning of Feb. I forgot how good it felt to work up a sweat! While I love the mental benefits of working out, it's interesting to note that exercising doesn't have that big of an impact on actual weight loss. I've also heard people "Lose weight in the kitchen, get fit in the gym." So that makes me feel less bad about taking that break from exercise...

Stay strong through the weekend!!!

Well, I've been totally good, and guess what, I gained a lb. Of course, I attribute that to not exercising. I've noticed, for me, when I don't exercise, I don't lose as well. It's probably because I eat the same amount of cals, as I do when I exercise. LOL

It's better wnen I stay off the scale. Sometimes things like this derail me, and I don't need that! I feel better and my pants fit a little better, so that should be good enough.

Have a great weekend! (23 days straight of eating within my range.)

Last night was a tough one for me. I don't know why, but I was antsy and actually thought of going over my cals. I'm not sure what was going on in that head of mine. There was a little battle of the wills. I actually prayed to get me through the night. Well, I'm happy to say that today is 25 days that Ive been in my calorie range, and feel so much better for staying strong. I think getting on that scale on Friday threw me off. I have to stay off that scale!

WooHoo Tyla!!!
What a victory!!!
(And I totally hear you in the staying off the scale.)

I've been having a rough couple of days, too. Been engaging in some not so healthy food behaviors and I know that getting on the scale is an indicator that my priorities aren't straight.

I'm just trying to remember to BREATHE first and try to confront my feelings before I turn to food...

Hang in there and keep on!!!

Woo Hoo a new week and a fresh start. Let's make this week a winner! I got out my old weight watcher stuff to see if I cut back my cals if that would help. I still feel under the weather, so I'm not real motivated right now. Just going through the motions. Those darn allergies!

Let's keep it going. March has almost come and gone.

I'm proud to say that this is 27 days straight of being in range. Felt better enough to exercise for a half an hour last night. I also did some yoga poses. (I did some research on the internet and learned a few.)

Let's do this!

I hear that to March coming and going. Horray for doing yoga!!!

Sadly, I've slipped into some not so healthy food behaviors... I'm still keeping track of my 5 points on paper, but I'm not doin so good in other aspects.

Am going to try to get back on target, though. I don't know which I need more: a hug or a good swift kick!

My forte are hugs! :hug: :hug: :hug:

You can do this. Get back on track now. I've floundered before and it doesn't feel good. But getting back on track does. Wishing you the very best!! :hug: :hug: :hug:

(Whenever I start to flounder, I have to ask myself what's really bothering me? Are you stressed about something?)

lol... Thanks for the hugs. I took care of the kicking myself.
Am sorta back on track... Could be better, could be worse...
Me, stressing? Nah. :rolleyes: Just a combination of things, I think. No real "trigger" in particular. Oh, well...

How you doing?

THREE more days of March! Let's make 'em good!!!

Got thru another day. For some reason, yesterday was a hard one. I did everything to distract myself. Wish I could be more like you, not letting things stress me so much. I'm working on it. (I guess it's the perfectionist in me. I have to remember that nobody is perfect.)

Did some yoga poses and walked a lot yesterday. Today I actually did a 30 minute dvd and will go to my line dancing class later. Starting to get remotivated about exercising. That must mean I'm feeling better.

Best of luck to you! :hug: (an extra hug for good measure.LOL)

Oh, no... That was meant to be a VERY sarcastic "nah"...
I stress about everything under the sun: weight, food, taxes, career, relationships (or lack thereof...) I can tend to turn into one big ball of stress.

At this particular moment, I think that it's a double whammy stress of friend with whom I'm having issues, but am not looking forward to the articulation of said issues, and a happy stress (but stress nonetheless) of appreciating someone so much, but being afraid that I'm letting them down...

Words fail, in both cases.

Am also slightly stressed over my taxes. Am due to meet with the CPA this afternoon, though, so that should help either way. If I end up owing money, I will be royally p*&*%# off, because I'm barely living above the poverty line here... (another stress...)

Oy. (It did actually help to write that out though... believe it or not.)

Yoga helps a ton with all of this, so I'm kicking myself again for wimping out of my Monday class, but oh well. Get back on the horse. Am planning on going in on Friday.

First of all, the taxes will be done before you know it! My hubby and I decided to do them ourselves. It was kind of brutal, but we plowed thru it. I worried about it before, during and until the thing was finally emailed out of here. I'm sooooo happy that's over!! Now its like, that was then, this is now. On to the next thing du jour.

About your friend that you're having issues with... is she a toxic friend? I don't have time for toxicity anymore. I've actually dropped people that cause me stress because of their own issues. And the friend you like, how are you letting them down? Just being a good friend is all it takes sometimes.

Wow, I can't believe we made it to the 30th of this month! I'm proud to say that I've done pretty well this month, even if the scale doesn't reflect it. I feel better about myself, and that's a pretty good feeling.

My more advanced line dancing class was a lot of fun yesterday. I didn't know any of the new dances, but somehow I managed to keep up. So now I go twice a week -- to the beginning class for the basics and the advanced class for super exercise. I feel like I'm on the show, Dancing With the Stars, because the dances are so fast and varied, and you have to know what you're doing. I also registered for a zumba class that starts at the end of April.

Have a great weekend! Let's be strong. :hug:

(((((Tyla))))))
Thank you SO much for the encouragement.
Re: Taxes... Ugh. A total bust. They weren't done when I got there. Supposedly he's going to fed-ex them to me by Tuesday. Just ticks me off b.c I had wanted them to be done by April and I'm paying him a lot of money to do the job.

Re: the friend... She's my oldest friend and I don't really think she's toxic... We're just long overdue for a "clear the air" chat. She's been a great friend to me in the past and we have too much history to chuck it in... I'm just struggling with how to bring up and handle this conversation...

Your dancing classes sound like so much fun! You may have mentioned it before, but where do you go? Is it a studio or community center- type place?

You've stayed within your range and that is SUCH an accomplishment!!! Even though the scale doesn't necessarily reflect it right now, here's some featherweight encouragement that the next woosh IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!!!

I'm so glad we made it to the end of March!!! Just the fact that we're checking in is huge. Big hugs and let's make this a great week into Easter!!!

Are you planning anything special for Easter Sunday?

We made it through the month of March!!! :yay:

Okay, now on to April>>> WE CAN DO THIS!

Thanks for the hugs. I needed those. :) And thank you for supportive words.

About my dance classes, I'm taking them at the local rec center. I used to belong to a gym, and I miss that so much, but right now the rec center is going to have to do. I've been taking different types of classes each quarter. I took pilates for over a year, different aerobic classes, and now line dancing and zumba. I like the variety.

We're going out for Easter. I'm so looking forward to it. We're going to go to the Cheesecake Factory for brunch. That's my favorite place!

How about you? Any plans?

Let's make it through Easter and beyond. :easter2:

Being good. On my way to line dancing class.

Went out to lunch with friends and did very well. :yay:

Hurray for being on plan!!!
I'm kind of in an unfortunate free-fall at the moment, but have cut out the unhealthy behavior, which is definitely an improvement. I'm kind of disappointed in myself for falling back into old patterns, but I suppose I'm glad that it didn't get as bad as it could have.

I'm planning on trying lamb in the slow cooker for Easter lunch. Trying to stay away from restaurants during the holiday, though the cheesecake factory does do a good brunch.

How was line dancing?

Sorry that things weren't the best recently. Here's wishing you get things back under control! Did you talk to your friend?

I had the hardest day today, but I tried to distract myself with anything that I could. Finally bought myself a nonfat latte and that made the cravings go away. I felt like the latte was a treat, yet it's only 100 cals.

I went on the elliptical and walked the mall tonight, too. Also did some yoga poses. I made it through another day! :yay:

Alexis, I hope you have a wonderful Easter.

:easter2: :easter2: :easter2:

Thanks, Tyla!!!! And right back atcha!!! Despite not getting to "goal" and the unhealthy food behaviors, I feel like this was a really good Lent season. So bravo to us!!! And will see you in the next 100%!!!

:bravo:
