Morning Ladies, OP yesterday, although I slacked a little on my water. Gonna try to focus on that today. I can really tell a difference in my skin. Also today is the day I told the 1000 mile thread that I would walk my kids home from school and of course, it's snowing today. Gah. Well, well see if I can psych myself up for it.
W 64 big ones
E 30 on the treadmill, and [maybe] 2mi outside
E no BLTs
D hit the target today!
MM~I am glad to see you. Sorry bout the pnemonia that really sucks!.
I had a tough night sleep last night. My son has been sleep walking. Anyway I plan on hitting the gym at 9 this morning after mak goes to school. I will post after my workout
W 80
E 60 minutes cardio 10 ab lounge 10 weights
E 1400 cals
D housework picking up weights
Morning Thin and Jeni. Thin...that sucks that it's snowing. I know you must be bummed ...and the kids too.
Jeni..wow..a sleep walker. that must be tough. I'm glad to say, so far, i have not had a problem with that in my family. I hope he settles back down into a normal sleeping pattern soon so you can too.
Well...i did okay this weekend eats wise i suppose. Saturday my scale said 157 even. I cleaned up my house alllllllll weekend in preparation for last nights football game. I did not get much water in though. I had a bowl of cereal for breakfast at noon yesterday and then nothing until 8pm last night. I had a hamburger off the grill and a hot dog off the grill (minus the hotdog bun). I ate "some" tortilla chips and Spinach dip but drank FOUR beers. YIKES!!! So, this morning the scale said 159!!! I feel so depressed like i'm never going to get back down to the 130's. But i know it must be water weight...but i just feel so upset to even see water weight back. ya know. just depressing. And i was soooo hoping to go back to the gym this month and now i can guarantee you it won't be until february. I can only hope my bf can get me that elliptical really, really soon so i can start working out at home. I know i don't "need" the elliptical to work out at home but i really don't like doing excersize videos at home. I prefer to go to a class where i feel like i "have" to finish the class or else people will think i'm just a big fat slob who can't hang with them. (Yes, that's what motivates me to keep going for the whole hour at the gym...thinking that other people care about whether i finish the class or not". lol.
WEED:
W- 64 ounces
E- 1200-1300 cal.
E- I don't know yet
D- i did it once, i can do it again.
My weekend of fast food debauchery is behind me. Not stepping on the scale till Thursday... may even push it until Saturday. Had a great time bargain hunting and relaxed all night Saturday night. Almost read half a book!
I have to get to working... but I will be back later to catch up on the end o' the last thread, and new stuff here!
My kids went back to school today, and I'm really sad. I miss them, and I'm wanting to graze my way through the day. Of course, grazing is how I got to be 215, so I don't want to go there.
I'm extra committed to my no bites, licks or tastes rule today. 3 meals, one afternoon snack, and that's IT! Right now I'm going to make sure that "snacky" foods are out of my reach, and I commit to coming back here if I feel like I'm going to graze. I probably need to get out of the house too. The munchy monster will not get me today!
Thin keep your hands busy so you dont think about food. Housework does it for me. Or getting out of the house and window shopping!
Lumi~ make the most of your day try extra steps! My scale is being stubborn too. Today I decided to stay off of it for a while because for me I need to workout to keep my blood sugar under control. Diet and exercise is just a way of life now. I cant focus on the scale because it never says what I want it too. Then I feel like giving up. Giving up on what taking care of myself? Nah I don't think so. I will just live. and working out is just one of those parts of my life.
I only got in 45 mintues of cardio today and no weights I got in a great workout though. I ran for 30 minutes then I walked 3.8 mph increasing my incline by 1 every minute until I hit 10 then worked my way down by 3. I can really feel the different muscles I used. I think I am going to take a class on wednesday!! Its a cardio body sculpting class that is new (and popular).
Water is going in.

Hello my girlies! Ya'll lost me somewhere around page 2 on the last thread...lol Lots of catching up to do. I tend to get overwhelmed by long threads and so many new friends, it takes me a while to sort everyone out. (But I love it! Don't get me wrong!) Plus I've been WORKING like mad....this week I work Sunday, Tues, Wed, Thurs ALL 12 HOUR NIGHTS. I feel like I won't be home unless I'm sleeping until the weekend. So I'm sure I'll be slacking on posting here too. Though sometimes I get to peek/lurk from work so that helps.
But...I know you're all waiting for this....I AM LOSING! Today when I woke up the scale said 253.5! Which is actually maybe high.
Ok here comes another of my crackpot theories. Stay with me here people. I think your truest weight (the one we all "weigh in" with) is of course, when you first wake up. naked. after using the bathroom. Right? Well with my wonky schedule, like today, I went to bed around 10 am and woke up here at 3.....and did the ritual weigh in. But I know that the weigh in after a REAL and whole night's sleep, like TONIGHT will show a better number. Like my body has more time to completely recover and show the TRUE weight. Plus my meal schedule on work nights usually puts me over calorically for the day, but there's that one day where I sleep all day, go to bed that night and look at what a short calorie day that one is. Like today, I'll have breakfast (now) and dinner, that should hold me for the day, I can probably get by with around 800 calories...though there are days, where I am awake all day, eat three meals like you guys would. But then I'm awake at work all night, which usually involves another meal and probably one usually two snacks. So then I have like 2500 calories. I guess it levels out. So I usually like my real weight after a whole night's sleep.
Any thoughts on that?
Anyway to brag, my eating has been IMPECCABLE for awhile now. Perfectly on Plan (POP)....Fiber one makes a frosted shredded wheat cereal now YUM! and the new flavor fiber one bar Choc Mocha is WOW!
Oh crap gotta get the kids! But I'm not done talking yet!
JCat- A sleepwalker? That's nerve wrecking. That cardio class you posted about seems interesting
Lumi- I'm struggling with you to get back on track. I kind of got used to that over full feeling again.
Nix- Glad to see you had a good weekend!
Nursie- WTG on the POP!!!
I'm doing okay today. Struggling with staying within range but I'm doing it. I know that my eating pattern is largely habit. Gotta be mindful and focus on new habits!
I'm working on ditching the TOM weight. Back down to 199.4 today. Now can I keep the forward motion going?? Stress hit when I walked in the door tonight. Furnace out, ran out of propane, although they filled it today. To the tune of $1,000. More bills came in the mail, none of them good. Life is tough right now.
Thin- Good work, keep it up
Jeni- Tie that boy down. Kidding I have funny stories about my son. He tried to pee beside my bed one night. Thought he was in the bathroom.
Lumi- It is mind over matter. You've done it before, you can do it again.
Nix- What will power, not getting on that scale. I'm sure you weighed in for BL already.
Michelle- A little long winded today? You take your weight whenever you want honey. Just pick a day and stick with it. I'm not sure how much it matters as long as you're consitent.
Grazer- Yep, habits. I have learned that over the past year. Eat right and workout everyday and good things happen. Simple, right??
Michelle, I always weigh more when I get up for work in the morning, so I stay off that dang scale on days I work (or try too). Great job at losing and staying OP!!!
Grazer you can do it!!
Mindy~I bet you saw the scale and just smiled huh!!! You made it through the monthly cycle crud!!! YAY! I laughed when you told me about your son. I am mostly worried about Tommy getting outside, his dad used to do that, and we live on the main street through town.
Al righty Workday WEED ahead of me.
W 64
E extra laps
E 1400 cals
D get my cals into fit day.
Jeni, thanks for the welcome back. My YB used to sleep walk, we lived in the boondocks and he actually got out one night and went into the garage. After that, we had locks installed on the tops of all the outside doors so at least he was in the house. Maybe a bell on Tommy's door so you will be awoken if he get up?
Mindy, congrats on being under 2!
Lumi, good luck on the elliptical front! I can relate to the 4 beers! I do enjoy my beer, more often than I should. Oh well...
Getting back on focus yesterday was good, I ate well, I did not make it to the dreadmill, but I did get my crunches in, about 80 oz of water and my food was mostly good, although I did have red beans and rice w dinner, yummy! I fell asleep at 7 PM last night, just beat!
Then, when I stepped on the scale - I got back under 150 this am, now, I am ready to get out of the 140's forever.
W 100 oz today
E The crunches of course, I should have an 8 pk, with all the crunches I do
Restart C25K tonight?
E OP
D Today is the first day of the rest of your life! Make it count!
Nmichelle...so good to hear from you again. I am so glad to hear that you are losing!! That is just awesome!!!
Grazer... you hit the nail on the head i think. That full feeling. I have gotten used to at dinner time having to have that "full" feeling. I do pretty much okay all day long, it's dinner time. Come on Grazer...we'll both stay on track with our calories. I'm just going to try to eat the same meal most every day and shake it up on the weekends. I think that might be key for me getting back on track.
Mtiger...you are soooo right. I did this once, actually twice, i can do it again!!! But I am glad that you are back down and totally know what you mean about the bills and life being tough. I just got cut one day a week without pay. Looking forward to the day off every week but not looking forward to seeing the cut in my paycheck. But hey...be thankful i still have a job..right?? lol. I hope things get better for you!!
Mmavis..congrats on being back under 150!!! Yay for you!!! Way to go. Watch out girl..i think i figured out how to start really losing now...so i'm going to be catching up with you!! lol. Thanks...the bf said we are definately getting the elliptical. As soon as he has a day off this weekend, he's taking a truck out to pick it up. I am sooooo excited.
Okay so today...
WEED:
W- 64 ounces (been getting that)
E- 1100 (maybe a little more...but eating lots of lean protein just doesn't add up to as many calories.
E- not sure yet.
D- i did it once, i did it twice, i can do it again!!!!
Sorry I have been MIA for a number of days. I have had just enough time to check in and read posts. I only have an hour today to do a number of things before I head out, so no personals, I'm afraid. Good to see mothermavis and NurseMichelle no longer MIA. Now, where are you Aud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am just going to post my WEED and move on. Maybe I'll check in tonight after teaching. Keep up the great COMMITMENTS everyone. We're winning the battle!!
W - 5 blue bottles of water = 110 oz.
