GOOD MORNING ALL!!
Yesterday was so so for me. I don't know why I am having such a hard time finding my groove again. I did get in two walks yesterday. The first one was short about 15 minutes, but I had my 20 pound son in the back pack and my daughter and the two year old I watch in the stroller, so I was pushing or carrying about 80 pounds of children. The second walk was in the evening and since my son had fallen alseep my husband agreed to watch him (hard work, huh?
). My neighbor is almost 4 months preg so I put her son and my daughter in the stroller and gave her a break from pushing for the day. It's not bad on the way, it's the way back that gets ya. It's very hilly where we live so first we go up an fairly steep but not too long hill and then up a long, long gradual hill, you don't really realize you are going up hill at first, but by the time you reach my neighbor's house and it gets just a bit steeper you feel it. SO despite my brak down and eating that chinese, my husband brought home the night before, I feel ok I got some exercise in. I'm doing great on my water again, plus I have had gatoraide at 2.5 points fo r20 ounces it's much better than pop!
Marny, I am sure things will fall into place again, we all have downtime.
Crystal, I too get confused by the popcorn thing. I usually get the 94% fat free kind and mine has popped and unpopped on the nutrition label. The actual fat grams (not the %) is in teeny tiny print after the ingredients. It says 1 cup of popped provides 0g of fat, 0 chloesterol, 30 mg sodium, 4g total carbs, less than 1g fiber and less than 1g protien. In the regular nutrition label area it tells me 1 cup popped is 15 calories.
I do points, so if I just ate 1 cup it would be 0 points. To figure the entire bag I added the total calories, fat and guessed the fiber to be 2 grams (maybe a bit low, but not sure what less than 1 gram is exactly) before calculating. I add it up before b/c if you took it as 1 cup is 0 points and there are 10 cups then 10 times 0 is 0, which we know that whole bag of popcorn is NOT free lol. I figure the entire is bag is 3 points. I actually measured the amount of pop corn popped in several bags, b/c each bag is different and found that mine says I should get 11 servings but I really get between 8 and 10. So I go with 10...made the math easier
I hope this helps a little instead of making it more confusing
Look and see if you can find the actual fat grams in the tiny print somewhere near the nurtion label. Sometimes they have that tiny stuff on boxed meals like mac and cheese too (the tiny print tells you how many calories and fat grams it is prepared as directed).
Tish Ann-Great job on the water, even though you started later than usual you got it in
Hope you could sleep all night...my husband is teasing me b/c I am drinking so much I pee more often than when I was preg. LOL
GREAT JOB ON THE LOSS HONEY!!!! Way to go! Travel safe this week!
Tammy, you are so right about women having to concentrate on so many more things that we often don't take care for ourselves. Oprah yesterday was about sports parents. The "expert" I forget her name pointed out to a mother that teaching her daughter to push through while being so tired she wants to nap was continuing the idea that we can't listen to our bodies. She said it was perpetuating this idea that woman have to take care of bussiness first then ourselves second. It kind of caught my attention and made me think about it and my own daughter. She's only two, so we're not really to that yet but it's something I will be aware of.
Anyway you are doing really well!! GREAT JOB on the LOSS!!!! No soda in three WEEKS?! That's awesome!! AND all that working out! You are an inspiration!!
Well I should get going. My house is a HUGE wreck lol! DH is home sick, so that will mean trying to keep him happy while caring for 4 kids. Talk about all our obligations. But he is truly sick not just slacking off, so I guess I can baby him a little b/c hes not often sick like this. My scheduled changed and now I have the kids I watch 5 days a week from 6:30 am to 3 pm instead of 6:50-4 Mon-Thurs. So there goes my errands and cleaning day! My biggest problem is getting laundry put away, unless I take all four kids up and down the stairs I can't get it done during the early part of the day and when the otehrs leave that's my one on one time with my daughter. Having kids here everyday really through her off since she was used to just us. Tish Ann how do you do it with 5, I am still amazed!
Well have a great day all!!

But now when I am on the computer I have to look at them. I know post 90 pounds and two kids I won't look like I did my senior year of highschool, but I can get as close as I can. Funny thing is looking back I was considered to be 15 pounds overweight, but I was all muscle with very little bodyfat. But that number, 15 pounds, really bothered me. I had a huge hang up about it. Even now I want that 130-135. I don't know if that is realistic. Dr. Phil talks about a get real weight. I don't know if 135 is real. Seems like a bit extreme considering I was in peak shape at 18 and considered to be overweight at 145-150. My stomach was flat, I even had a bit of a 6 pack, I could swim forever, I spent hours a week running in the pool and walking the pool deck at work, I walked everywhere b/c I didn't have a car. I think perhaps I will consider a different unltimate goal. Something to think about. 
hello ladies,
