Hi Lynn. Thanks for your kind words of encouragement. I am really feeling good lately. Boot camp was just the kick in the butt I needed to get going again. I am sort of sad. Tomorrow is my son's birthday, so I am missing my usual meeting to go out to dinner for his celebration. I will go weigh in first thing in the morning. I really wanted to go to my regular meeting for consistent scale results. You know how morning vs evening weighs are so different. But the five year old is the priority for sure. Will let you know how it goes. I am really hoping for three pounds. We'll see. Hope you had a good OP day. Talk to you tomorrow. --Amy

Well, I weighed in this morning. I was UP .2!!! WTH???? I don't know. I'm just gonna keep going. I did not stay on program today but did ok. Went for a ten mile bike ride with boot camp first thing tomorrow again. Will check in later. How ya doin' Lynn? Kim?? Paige???

Hi there. Anyone out there???? I have been doing well again today. Hope it will soon show on the scale. Burned 516 calories at boot camp this morning.

breakfast
alternative bagel w/cream cheese 3pts

lunch
turkey on lt. bread w/ mustard 3pts
triscuits w/ laughing cow cheese. 3 pts

Don'tbe discouraged Amy,I bet it is muscle and you will show a loss next week.I am still avoiding the scale,am getting some pressure from a fellow meeting goer to go to a meeting lol.Been awhile.I am embarrassed to go because I gained weight.I got out of it this week for legitimate reasons but will face the music next week.I hate paying plus I really don't want to know what I weigh.Doing pretty well today eatingwise,got a huge salad in the fridge I am having tonight.Maybe I can pull a rabbit out of my butt and drop a couple pounds before next week.

Ok Lynn, you made me laugh out loud. I hope you find that rabbit. If you do, I will search my butt for one too. In fact, maybe that's why it's so darn big!! ROFL!! Thanks for making me laugh. Keep at it. You will lose the weight. You know how. It's not like you didn't have a good reason.

Went to the specialist yesterday and he gave me the go ahead with working out again.I have to be careful and start slow.It will keep me out of the kitchen cupboards and that will be a huge plus.Maybe I will be stepping on the scale again in this lifetime

Hi there just checking in. Glad to hear the good news Lynn. Don't be too hard on yourself when you get back on the scale. Good thing is, it's not permanent. You can move that number!!! I had a nice weekend. Ate ok but not great. Scale is still not moving. Will check in tomorrow. --Amy

We can all be forgiven for our eating on the weekend this was our timeI got on the scales this morning and closed my eyes.My husband delivered the sweetest words I've heard in awhile,down 5 pounds.That was after eating a bag of chips last night.I was so worried I was gaining weight.I am newly inspired.

Good afternoon Lynn. Congratulations on the loss!!! Good for you. I am sure you feel so much better now. I am still truckin' along. I have nine points left for dinner tonight. Don't know what the heck we are going to do. My daughter has a program at 6pm. That means a late dinner. I am thinking Subway. Although I have stayed within points today, I don't feel real good about my choices. I have carbed out today. I am feeling snacky. I am not truly hungry, but bored instead. That makes me want to eat. Don't feel like doing anything to take my mind off food either. I must hold steady until dinner. Really don't want to ruin the day. I am going for a long bike ride tomorrow. I think my upper body will need the rest. My trainer today really focused on arms and shoulders (OUCH!). Anyway, I will check back in with you tomorrow or late tonight. Have a good one. --Amy

Hey Amy and Lynn, glad to see you too still here. I plan on getting back here posting daily again as of now.

I'll come back a little later and talk to you guys and catch up....

Kim

I am not a happy person today.Physio had me do an exercise on Monday that made my back hurt.I told her yesterday and she says oh no you aren't having a relapse.Your muscles are sore,as long as it isn't causing pain in your leg then you are ok.She said a bunch of other stuff but I am not convinced.I'm worried,here it is Thurs.and it still hurts.I can't say that it gets worse evryday but it interferes with my sleep.Top it all off I have an ultrasound for my kidney stones.Last time I had that the next day I was sooo sore.I emailed my chiro yesterday and she said I am probably ok but if by Fri. it is no better I should call the specialist.sigh.Plus side I am eating pretty well possibly not enough.I will keep you posted.
Welcome back Kim.

Hello Kim and Lynn. Gosh Lynn, I really hope you are doing better now. Didn't see your message until this morning. Kim girl, where you been??? Busy I am sure. I have been doing ok. I haven't been tracking which always means I haven't done as well as I think. The scale will tell on Thursday. Skipped boot camp on Friday. My knees are tore up. Really having some pain. Anyway, I hope to be OP and tracking today. Will update with my meals.

breakfast
steel cut oatmeal 3pts

Morning all.The pain finally went away on Sunday.It took 6 days to stop,goes to show how quicly one can fall out of shape.I woke up this morning and I wasn't spre and crippled.The guy at physio yesterday did something different.I did some yard stuff yesterday and am inspired by the fact that I am not crippled.
Today I am sticking to plan.It has been so long since I used my only ww tracker that I was thinking it was time to cancel.Today I will use it and look for some new recipes.Amy did you ever try that Beef cheeseburger rollup?Last time I made it I put a marinara sauce on top,it was really good.Lets start the day with the tried and true

Today is the day,I am going back to the gym to try a workout.Little nervous but I plan to go very easy.I find when I am here at home I want to munch and that is not good.I can't garden because they are redoing our roof the last 2 days.Starting at 7am!!!! Had my healthy breakfast,hoping to stay on plan the rest of the day.
Amy where are you?Kim too.

I'm here Lynn. Sorry!! My hubby was out of town and my mom stayed with me. I didn't even log on. I'm not doing too good. I am 1 pound up from when I started my boot camp four weeks ago. My home scale shows me at 176. Haven't been there for about 8 or 9 months. I am going to try core for a few weeks and see how that goes. That just doesn't excite me though. I'll check back in with you later. Hope you have been back on track and the gym was ok for ya. Have a good weekend if by chance I'm not on here over the holiday. ==Amy
