I know! I can't help but wonder if the 0.4# this morning on the scale is because I ate that...or because it's because TOM is wrapping up and maybe I've still got some water weight...I ate some salty stuff last night. Oh well, I'll kick that 0.4#'s booty!

Thanks!

Thanks Vixsin! I tried!

MamaP, yeah...tell us how you can drink 120 oz of water?! I can once and a while do about 64....WOW! Very impressive!

Ok, my crazy emotional evening is behind me. I feel better...lol.....

Today is a new day and so far it's going lovely! I hope you all have a great Friday and weekend!!!!!! TGIF! Homework and an exam today. Did a ton of cleaning starting at 7am this morning!

And I just have to share...this is not weight loss related! I was just featured on a website...for my jewelry business! Look!

My necklace is the little silver bow necklace!!

Maybe today won't be so bad after all.

to everyone!

I feel awful ... TGIF.

Last night after work I felt so ill. I won't go into details but it was not pretty. I woke up this morning feeling ok so I hauled my *** out of bed and went to work. Now i'm thinking that it was a mistake. I really should have just stayed home. I feel awful now. My throat hurts my stomach is upset and I just have no energy. I just want to go to bed.

I think I am going to go home.

I hope you ladies enjoy the rest of your day and have a good weekend.

Oh no Lauren!!! I hope you get some rest tonight and feel much, much better!!!

Shellsbrood Snow? Already? We rarely get snow here. When we do, life comes to a complete stop.

Asparagus Great job staying on track.

Pint Sorry about your weigh in. Some times weekly weigh in's are not the best. That could be the one day you are up just because of a fluctuation. Daily weigh in's have their own set of problems. With daily weighing you have to realize there are fluctuations that take place from one day to the next. Basically, it's a no win situation.

Vixsin Hi

Lindsey I'm glad you are feeling better about the extra 300 calories. Sometimes it's good to change things up on your body. I would think your weigh in is a result of the salty food last night. Cute necklace.

Lauren Sorry you're not feeling well today. I hope you have a better weekend and you are raring to go on Monday.

Thanks Diana! I agree...I freaked out a little about it though, lol. Thank you, I love that necklace. Pretty excited about being featured on a website!

Shells: Thanks! Clinicals went pretty well yesterday. Definately not as bad as I was dreading! Lol Can't believe you have snow already

Lauren: Feel better soon!

I am down another pound today!

I did an hour and 45 minutes water aerobics and I really kicked it up a notch and most of it was at high intensity. Holw cow am I exhausted. can hardly type and am ready for bed. But I have a three hour class!

I did spoil it though by going out to wendy's and grabbing a small burger and baked potato. I thought I was choosing well for the baked potato when I *wanted* fries. turns out that potato had more calories than a small fry would have. Go figure. I also had an oatmeal raisin cookie. Thought those were a better choice than chocolate chip. Not by much.

I was literally starving after that wokout and didn't have time to go home for better choices. I thought the cookie would tide me over for a while but it did not. Hence the cookie then the small burger. Next time I am going prepared for being hungry after an intense workout.

I start aqua zumba tomorrow. Am looking forward to it. Only going once a week for the next 6 weeks because of my schedule but I am really excited about it.

Ok got to head to class.

TGIF everyone!
Roxanne

Well, I was feeling kind of discouraged this morning, thinking, wow I just don't think there is a lot of change even though I am working my butt off on this. So just on a whim, I hopped over to FitDay which is where I track my weight loss.

I started this month at 288.8. We are not done with the month yet and I weighed in today at 277. Eleven pounds in one month is a big deal! It just reminded me that even though it seems slow to me, progress is being made. I will remember that when I don't lose as fast. Plus it was encouraging to see where I am now versus just a couple weeks ago!


Roxanne
Started my journey on 9/8/2010
mini goal: 10% loss



For every 5lbs lost:

So tomorrow is my birthday and the girls at work brought pastries in. They had these wonderful slices of gourmet cakes. I did good. I had half of a piece. I ate it slow and enjoyed every stinking second of it! I did have some Indian food as well. I am feeling that my sodium is high so I am drinking water to combat that. I stayed the same in weight today and don't want to see it go up tomorrow. I did take the leftover cake pieces home and I gave my son the other half of my piece and I had enough cake to give it to my next door neighbors. So it worked out perfectly.

Roxanne: Great job! 11 pounds is GREAT!

Lauren: Feel better very very soon!!!!
