Hi Ladies!

Well I had started a thread yesterday morning and for some odd unknown reason it never showed up

Susie,
You are doing an awesome job at work. Don't sweat it girl!

Wanda,
Congrats on the loss last week! Great job!

Well I have been going back to the gym 4 days a week early in the morning so I need to get dressed and out the door. Have a great on plan day!

My chest(pecs area) and arms are sore today...lastnight my legs were sore but they are fine today.

Not working out today, but will again tomorrow morning after I bring Christian to daycare(which is the same place as where I work out, how convenient).

Jen,
I know what you mean! The soreness will wear off and the weight will start falling off! Just take it easy and try not to overdo it!

Have a great day!

Hello Penny and Jen! You both are doing so great! Keep up the good work. So far I have had a good eating day.

Breakfast~ Oatmeal w/ oatbran and wheat bran, LF Cottage Cheese, orange, Coffee and iced tea.

Lunch~ A pita pocket stuffed with salad, a little shredded cheese and a dollop of vidalia onion salad dressing.

I still need to get more water in as dh had to turn off the water for a few hours to fix a plumbing problem. Now, the water is back on and I am making up for lost time drinking my water.

We have had a little rain today, so I did some leg lifts, bicycle rowing... on the bed. It did work some muscle groups. I look forward to being able to get out and walk again.

Dh and FIL are going out to dinner for mexican food tonight. They do this twice a week at FIL's request. In the past I have tried to find low calorie and low fat options but there aren't many. I told dh that I would not go with them anymore because I am tempted to eat the fried tortilla chips and all. Dh said well can't you have what you used to order which is the chicken tostada without a tortilla shell. Well, I could but this isn't filling and the temptation of the chips is still there. Dh just doesn't want to hurt his dad's feelings by saying that I will no longer go with them.

I hope that dh doesn't make me go after all.

Jen,

Congrats on the exercise. It is hard for us to get motivated to do it. Keep going and Welcome.

Penny,

Great job on your exercise to. Doesn't a plan work great when we do it.LOL As far as Jesse crawling he is beyond that girl he is walking around the furniture. It won't be long and he will be taking off. He wants to run as it is now and can't.LOL

Susie,

You will get adjusted at work. You are right the only way you will learn is to jump in and make the mistakes and learn from them. Keep going with the exercise to. You will look like your image this summer if you keep going.

Wanda,

Did you get back on track after your weekend? If not you need to start NOW!

lbsbegone,

Great job with the pot luck dinner. I think you did great with your decisions. It is from those decisions that will get you closer to your goal.

Eleni,

I know what you mean about the motorized carts. I had to use them when I was pregnant and I hated it because people look at you like why are you using that. It does make you feel bad until you decide it doesn't matter what they think. Towards the end I didn't mind it. Like you said it was use one or not go out and I couldn't stand being confined. Plus we needed things at the store.

As for me I will probably be a stay at home mom again soon from the looks of things at work. They are not good at all right now. I will have to keep you updated.

Have a great night everyone.

Sherri

Hi,
I made it! I didn't think I would have any computer time tonight, but DH is watching TV and he said to go ahead and email my Board Pals. I try not to be on the computer when I can spend time talking to him. We don't have children, but our lives are full with all the other things we each do, so when we can spend time together we both try. I got home from school a little early tonight, and he wasn't expecting me..that's why he was watching TV. I thought I would let him finish the show since he really wasn't expecting me.

Thank you all for letting me go on and on about my new job. I tell you..it's so wonderful to have a place I can come to and be open and honest about what I'm feeling and know that you all will help me see it from a different perspective. Believe it or not, I'm not one to usually share when I'm struggling ,but it's easy with you guys.

I had an ok day. I did get some things accomplished on my own and I have two things to talk to my manager about tomorrow and I have a solution to the problem, so I'll present it. That way I can see where I was right or wrong in my thinking. At least I'm thinking it through and I have a reason for my decision.

I tried something new at lunch time. I went to the Y and did a 25 min. walk on the treadmill. I thought I would start trying this on Tuesday or Thursday (that's the days I would miss my workouts due to school in the evenings.) If I feel like it I can go both days..right now I made a pact with myself to go one of them. That way if I need to study at lunch, or actually go to lunch with a friend I have an option. 25 min isn't a big deal, but I figure every little bit helps!

Penny: You sound like you are doing well with your workouts. Keep it up!

Sherry: I'm sorry to hear that it sounds like things are going badly at your work place. Keep us posted on the outcome. I'll say a prayer that He will work it out according to His will and the best outcome for you. It's scary to be faced with a possible job loss. Thanks for all the positive things you always reply to me with...I'll try and return the favor...often!

lbsbgone: How did the dinner dilema turn out?

KnCmamma: the soreness will get better...it means you are making muscle! I'm proud of you for trying it!

Wanda: Thanks for responding to my post and for showing me how to forgive my slip and go on. Isn't that the hardest thing to do sometimes? Just go on...seems easy, but....
