Just stopping by to say Hi, it's very quiet here!!
KimL1214-sorry that you had a bad week, hope this week is better for you~
chiquita623-sounds like your life is just fine {in fact sounds like you are describing my every Sunday} hope the movie was fun, and it wasn't McDonalds for dinner!!
***********
well things are going well, seems that I'm having another great week, lost another 2lbs this week, really bumped up the exercise, I found this old DVD of belly dancing for beginers, it's alot of fun, still have my favorite, TJ, but I think adding this DVD has helped in the lbs lost for the last two weeks.
Well need to run, have a few more things to do, before I can relax and enjoy some knitting time. Have a great week everybody.
Had to have more blood taken today… went through 4 nurses and took 40 minutes to get 2 vials (good sized vials though) of blood. Still have a fever… hopefully they can figure this out soon…
Kim ~ We went to see "Hotel for Dogs" on Saturday evening. It was a cute movie and the kids loved it. Then they wanted chinese for dinner. So we went to the local restaurant and it wasn't very good at all. I didn't eat much so I don't think I did too bad. How is BB going? That is one sport I never did like to play when I was a kid. I think it was all the running up and down the court. Do you get out there with the girls and run with them?
Institches ~ I know my life isn't that bad. In fact it's pretty darn good. Just sometimes it seems so repetitive. Maybe I should "shake things up" by doing my laundry and cleaning on a different day and then I'd have my Sunday's back. Something to think about. Congrats on the loss.
Everyone have a great Monday. I'll check back in later. Be good to yourselves.
chiquita623~ I do some drills with them, but mainly walk up and down the court during practice... I think I get more exercise during games because I am constantly pacing, yelling, cheering and getting stressed out...
I just had a roast beef sandwich to try and boost my iron count (anemic plus having blood taken = need for red meat)...
Hi all, haven't posted in a while. Still chugging along, now I just need to start exercising too. I found an old bellydance DVD I bought a couple years ago (still new in the package) so I'm looking at that too. I did about 15 minutes of it a few days ago and could really feel it.
Kestrel ~ Belly dancing is something I've always wanted to try. They used to offer classes here but not any longer. I never even thought about a DVD. Maybe I'll check into that and see what's out there.
I'm feeling very "fat" today. I know it's because I haven't been getting in all my water and some days not even all my food. I think I'll focus on that this week and see how it goes. My Wednesday, if I behave myself, I should start to feel better I think.
I took a belly dancing class a little over three years ago, right after we moved to Washington. It was wonderful, I loved it! Before I went in I was worried it was going to be a bunch of 20 year olds with perfect bodies but it was a whole wide range of ages and body styles. It was fantastic, body-positive and good for the self-esteem. Once my youngest baby is a little bit older, I want to take another one.
I'm having a "fat" day already!!! I just need to get back on the wagon and start kicking my own butt... planning on running around with the girls today...
OK. I got into a disagreement with the double chocolate doughnuts in the kitchen here at work and they won. Made me eat 2 as punishment!!! And last night I had the same disagreement with KFC chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans and corn on the cob!!! What is wrong with me?? I now only have 2 points to get me through the rest of the day. Guess it'll be yogurt and fruit for lunch. I suck today.

Michelle - I truly think that's part of my problem. I know I only have 10 pounds or so to go and then I think that I can have this or that and it won't hurt me. I need to get my head on straight and start thinking about the end result instead of the immediate satisfaction I may feel if I eat/drink something that I know is bad for me. Guess I need to work on getting my focus back. I'll definitely do that starting right now!!!
chiquita623~ The argument with junk food will always happen, question is, how do you handle the after math? What have you done since the donuts to make you feel better? You can do this!!!
Our meeting was cancelled last night so I plan on attending an out of town meeting tonight. I haven’t been as good as I should have been this last week, so I’m not expecting a loss, but not expecting a gain either… although TOM started yesterday, so it is possible… I find that if I skip a meeting, I really fall apart. While I’m not doing as well as I could be, I can only imagine how bad I would be doing if I didn’t have my weekly wake-up call on the scale each week. Somehow the whole idea of other people knowing whether or not I am staying OP really bothers me and helps me hold myself accountable.
No practice tonight, so I plan on using the school gym to do some lifting and walking. The WW mtg. is in the town I work in, so rather then make the half hour drive home only to have to turn around an hour later and come back, I’m just going to stay through and get a little work out in before meeting.
Sorry I haven't been around. I've been sick. Chest congestion, cough, and sore and swollen throat. Going to the doctors tomorrow. I called yesterday and they said I could take Robitussin DM for the congestion, which is getting better. My throat is getting worse though
I haven't caught up on the posts. This is my first time on the computer and not on the couch in a few days!
So I gained a pound last night. I was pretty upset and I think this is the one pound that has broken my fat back. I have been putting too much work into getting more active and eating well during the day to let my snacking at night ruin everything. I've had it. No more. I'm going to track and journal every day, wear my pedometer and find other stuff to do when I start craving things. What do you do when you are at someone elses house and they are continuously snacking to keep yourself from snacking as well? I chew gum, drink water, do foot ABCs and still have issues... what else can I do?
It's kick butt time!
Our leader gave us paper clips last night to represent each pound we have lost. We each made chains so we could see what we have accomplished. I made 3 chains. One for home, one for my car and one for school. I got this. Finally. I know I'll slip up, but I will not let it derail me.
