That recipe sounds great. Can't wait to try it!

dixie, I hear ya. I could give myself black eyes if I tried that!

If anyone is interested in my weird little experiment, look at my blog. I posted pictures of every single thing I ate today (well, my snack for later I PLAN to eat and I won't eat anything but!). I think I like this. My husband says it's also a good idea because when it comes time to plan meals for the week & make a grocery list, we can never think of what sounds good. If we have pictures, maybe we'll remember stuff we liked.

Did not lose nothing. Mad but proud of the rest of you guys.
When you count calories isthat all you count no carbs.im so sorry i let you guys down. try to do better WILL do better next time.go blue team

I also try to maintain a balance with carbs, fats and protein. I try to hit 30 grams of fiber a day, and I never eat less than 24.

I have internet!

Because we are so short on time tonight at my house the hubby is ordering pizza. I'm only eating one slice with a huge side of broccoli! that I'll behave!

What did you find out, Anna?

I posted a recap of my trip to the doc on my blog:

I jump on my little trampoline or just walk/jog in place. If you get going at a good fast pace you can get pretty sweaty just walking and jogging in your living room! I sometimes step up and down on my step as well, and like to jog circles around my house during commercial breaks. You can also get a set of hand weights (they are cheap and take little space and then you can do all kinds of strength exercises while watching.

Hi Bluezers! Drinking more water and eating right lately. So feeling better. Lots going on so no time to stay but miss being here so hope to get things back to normal this next week!

Rhonda, I love all your questions, I hate I'm missing out on them all. I just barely even get to read them much less answer.

Chelle, I would say that painting and all that do count for lotsa movement! Sounds like you're staying very busy. Smart, u'll lose much faster than me!

Hiya to practice, onthetee, sweetpeamom, sport, purple, kris, scgirl, heather, missrocky, blue apples, dixie, bradleysmom, frou and everyone else here. Miss all of you lots. I need to be here and should be able to next week finalllly.

Oh and omg I'm so goofy today. Congratulations Blue Team on winning this week!!! I sure wish I could say I helped that happen! It's great!! You all are really stepping up and dropping pounds!!! It's exciting, isn't it?

I'm proud to be on our team.

K, nite nite!!

Hi all - PLEASE keep my school in your thoughts and prayers tomorrow. There was a threat that caused a lockdown last week, and the same threat has been received this week. I've graduated now, but I'm scared for my friends who are still there. More info is on the school's website.

Marianne...scary stuff for sure.

Ellie...I think we all have had weeks like that, just hang in there. We are all in this together!

Just dropping by to say Hi. I had been going to bed early the last few nights only to wake up at 2:30-3:30'ish so thought I would stay up later, and hopefully sleep thru the night, we'll see. On top of it I am catching a cold.

Have a good evening

Throwing good thoughts your way practice.

I'm in the funk club this week too. Stupid TOM. I really, really wanted to go get a blueberry paczki but I ate pineapple instead. I haven't been working out hardly at all. DH is driving me crazy and I am getting very worried about him. I really need to get to bed so that I can wake up early and work out but I don't think I can sleep as my mind is racing.

And to top it off I was able to post a one pound loss for week three but when I got on the scale it was back plus he brought one of his friends. I am hoping it is just water weight as I haven't been to horrible with my calories.

CONGRATULATIONS Blue Team! Great job everyone!

Wish I had contributed to the weight loss number this week instead of stealing 1/2lb, but you all did it nonetheless.
So, the day after I posted my weigh-in, the day after I whined about being stuck at 244lbs for 3 days straight, my morning weigh-in showed me at 241.5lbs! Evil, evil scale to hold out on me like that. Of course, now I'll just have to make sure to carry that loss (plus a little extra maybe) into this week's weigh-in. I only change my ticker once a week, so it'll be wrong for a few more days.
For all of you who are "funkified": put on some funky music, do the funky chicken, go buy yourself a funky new hat, pair of gloves or socks and chase the bad funk away. Being a December baby, I love the short days, cold weather and rainy mornings the season has to offer. I know, I know. That's just more proof that I'm a little weird.


QOTD: When my motivation flags, I remember going to Urgent Care and having a doctor tell me that I was going to die if I didn't start taking care of myself. Yes, he was that blunt, and that's exactly what I needed / wanted to hear. I'm a workaholic and I often forget to eat or even take a break from work. Before when I got that busy, I'd eat whatever was handy and lots of it to make up for the missed meal(s). Now, I remember Dr. Taylor. I remember that my dad died the day before his 41st birthday from heart disease almost 30 years ago. I remember that somewhere nearby, there's a good food choice.

Hey Bluesies, Bluesers, Bluesters, let's see if we can take week 4!
Chelle, how do I get that blue team banner for week 3?

Yay. Go Blue Team

The gym I'm trying out right now doesn't have one. I'm trying to decide if I want to stay with that one or try the one out that is closer. I originally thought the closer one would be more inconvenient because I would have to bring Aiden to the sitters and drive back toward my house (the sitter is 15 min away and the closer gym is about 500 feet away) but I have been having DH bring him to the sitters anyway so that's not a problem. The closer one costs a bit more though. But I could shower at home after. On the other hand I have a friend at the other gym. So it is a hard choice. Oh yeah, I don't think the gym with daycare has it as early as I need it. And thats still extra. I think I'll probably stay with the original one. I like having someone there I'm not afraid to ask questions of.
