Morning chicks. I thought I would start us off today. Sorry I have not been around. DUncle passed away yesterday. It has been an emotional rollercoaster for my mom. I was with her last night and did two picture boards for her for the funeral palour. And I have to be there tonight and tomorrow afternoon. The service is on sat but my brother and I will not be there as we have our tickets for the race. Atleast my sister will be home to be with my mom. I am starting to feel a little guilty. Well I have to dash I have a mom dropping off kids. Not sure how much I will be around til I get back next week.
I do not believe that I am actually the first one here this morning!!!!!
I up and ready for work a little earlier than usual this morning so I'm not rushing!
I weighed in yesterday, +2 lbs, but it was in the afternoon(I never weigh in the afternoons!) So I'm not going to move my ticker until I've weighed in on Friday morning.
I had a really good workout yesterday afternoon.
There are so many folks that have joined this forum, I can't even keep up with you all!!! Isn't that awesome!
Todays the last day that I'm training in I.V.s, I hope that she schedules me in there a lot, I really like the solitude working in the sterile(& quiet) IV room
My twinners are in the middle of band camp right now...and it's hot as hades out there, I really feel for them. my dd Aly is on the dance line, and her twin bro...zac is on the drum line (he plays bass drum)
they have one more week after this one, then about a week after that school starts back!!!!! I can't believe that their summer vacation is almost over!
Well Gals, I'd better get out of here, Hope you all have super duper OP days!!!!
Little Chick, don't feel guilty. You have been there for your Mum and for your Uncle in life.
Phins, it sounds like you are really getting into the groove with your new job. Enjoy the peace of the IV room.
Life is pretty crappy lately - check out my Journal if you like the gory details- but I'm hanging in there. I'll be back at full steam next week but intend to pop in periodically just to keep in touch.
Mornin', chicks! Woke up in a crappy mood one hour before my alarm went off. Then, of course, I had to go weigh myself and the fat'o'meter hasn't bugded.
I've been good on this diet ever since the 5th except for one cheat at taco bell on the 7th. Ever since then I have been P1 to the tee and am still not losing weight. I kept blaming it on PMS and TOM which affect me for at least 2 weeks but its been over for 2 days now. I feel swollen and awful, my stomach is so tender like I'm about to start. I've been out in the 90+ heat with oppressive humidity for 5 or 6 hours every day this week but am drinking tons and tons of water so it shouldn't be water weight. I swear yesterday I had to have sweat at least a gallon of water, my shirt was literally wet enough to wring out and still no weight loss. I just don't know what to do. I'm not tempted to say screw it and go eat some dougnuts because honestly, I'm not even craving them anymore. It's just really frustrating. I could understand slow weightloss if I only had 10 or 15 lbs to lose but I've got a lot more than that to lose so it should be coming off quicker. I don't want to go to P2 till I lose more weight but right now I'm thinking whats the point of staying on P1 if it's not working like it's supposed to??? I've been trying to be so positive lately but am running out of positive thoughts about this now. I'm going to CA in 2 weeks to visit my bf and family out there and I really hoped to have lost more weight by then but it looks like that's not going to happen. Sorry to be a downer I'm just really irritated and confused. Well, I gotta go get ready to out to the woods again!!! Have a great day everyone! I'll check in later when I get home.
I have been MIA for a few days because I have been tryin to get my DD home from Aussie! They made it to LAX fine then made it to Atlanta fine but could not get out of there Tuesday night. They kept delayin and delayin til they finally cancelled the flight about 11 that night and said they would fly in Wed. morning @ 9 and they did but we had a lot of drivin back and forth to Birmingham. We got home at one and back up and on the road at 6. I was to tired to get on yesterday. DD went to sleep about 1 yesterday afternoon and did not get up til 6 this morning! I think the lay over in Ga. wore her out more than the flights! lol Well I gotta jet now or I will be late for work. I've got to get back in here and back on plan asap! I miss y'all!
LC: Sorry about your dear uncle..and Ruth is right... no need 2 feel guilty, you've done all you can do, I'm sure sister will be able to help your Mom thru the day....
Phins:I guess with Twins you Would really enjoy working in a clean quite place ... band Camp, one of my fondest memories in the Days of Yore (that's my childhood Once upon a time and a loong loong time ago!) . I was a Flag and a Rifle girl
Ruth: I will be checkin on your journal ...but for now , There's only 1 of you, you can't do everything, and be everywhere...S L O W D O W N
Pearsydew: hmmmm, perhaps if you post your meals, one of the Gurus here can give you some tips?... Do you use Fitday.com to log your foods.... maybe you are eating well, but tooo much? Calories count even if they are good calories.. Bleah.. Keep the faith dear, we're here to help you!
Today I am taking the day off! Going to the Pool to wead and weWax! I Really got a work out yesterday...moving heavy boxes into the garage..Wine from the cellar to Books from the Den upstairs.. I SWEATED BUCKETS..Popped some advil, took a hot shower, and some bengay...slept like a baby thinking I would wake up hurting, but I didn't ! But most disconcerting..I woke up with leetle round bruises on both my forearms..I guess I burst some blood vessels? Anyone know? Alrighty then, I'll pop in later... "Youse guys" have a GREAT DAY!
Morning everyone. I made a decision a few weeks ago that I was gonna change my life. I started SB and have lost 8 lbs. Today I start Phase 2!!! I will be 31 in 2 weeks & have decided to go back to college. I am going to be a RN. I took my placement tests yesterday & got a 98!!! I guess I am smarter at 30 than I was at 17. Anyway, I went to sign up for classes & one of the classes I wanted was full. I was very upset. Typically I would have turned to food, but I didn't. I was so proud of myself. I have lost all signs of cravings. I just wanna say thanks, girls. Ya'll are so great & such a great support system. Anyway, have a great OP day!!
I feel a little better today,sorry for all the whinning I been posting on the board lately.I think I found my numbers as I went down 1 lb : again today..
Your right the thread is getting bigger & bigger, which is awesome!! But If you don't get on early enough we're in page 3.
Little chick-sorry to hear about your uncle.Sending [[positive thoughts]]and some your way.Don't ever feel guilty about not being there,life goes on,even your uncle would have wanted you to go to the races.
PhilUp-Hope yopu have a good W-I on f Fri. Maybe the gain was water retention especially in the hot weather we're having.
Schatzi-Good for you!!!Have a great time at the pool,sometimes we have to take a break,from work or whatever.
Bammie-Yikes that the worst time for me went visiting or vacation is the traveling time.Sorry you had so much trouble.
Have a nice day Ladies and to the chicks I didn't get too.
Little Chick, I'm so sorry about your Uncle. I hope that there is much love and laughter at the service.
Phinsup, what talented children you have!
Ruth, you do what you have to do, and take some time for yourself. Love you lots, sweetie...
Pearshape, I can't remember... did you post a list of your daily foods somewhere? If not, can you do it so we can give you a hand? I know how frustrated you must feel, hon. Don't give up... your good eating is a gift to your body, even if you're not seeing results right now.
Bamie, we miss you, too, you sweet Alabama girl! I've been thinking about you and your knee...
Glad your DD got home safely!
Schatzi, I hope you're having a wonderful time by the pool with your book... you deserve a break after all that packing!
Lydia, I'm glad you're doing well... keep at it!
Kyemom, you are so inspiring! Congratulations on going back to school! Of COURSE you're wiser now than you were at 17! Just wait until you hit 40!!
Enjoy Phase II, hon!
I am in agony. I had a meeting last night, and elected to walk there instead of driving. It was only a 1/2 hour walk, but it's the most exercise I've done since my meds stopped working about a month ago. At the 25 minute mark, a muscle in my left calf seized up. I had to ask someone to drive me home after the meeting, and today I still can barely walk. How can someone hurt themselves by WALKING! How embarrassing.
I've just taken some muscle relaxants, and I'm going to take it easy. Damn. Just as I was starting to "get going" physically!!
Morning everyone. I've officially been COMPLETELY ph 1 faithful for over a week today...but then we were out of cooking spray. And that just ruined everthing. (I had to use butter...I used as little as possible, and spread it around the bottom of the pan.) I feel so guilty...but I figure I'll cut out my 75 calories of "sweets" today.
Sidenote, 6 days until my birthday! (Wednesday the 27th) I'm taking that day off, then I'll be back to phase 1 after (since I know I'll be needing it after our traditional birthday cinnamon rolls for breakfast, going out to eat with friends, and cake!)
Morning chicks! I'm backkkkk!
I went to southern Ohio & visited dear dad. He's not doing so great. The house was disgusting, the refrig was worse..ugh. Dad has started sleeping on the couch. I spent most of my time cleaning. I got sunburned because I was out back cleaning the backyard, deck and windows. I hate spending all my time down there cleaning but someone has to do it. I also spent $85 restocking the frig for dad....my siblings that live in the same town could do SOMETHING!!!!!
Anyway..I'm back & I feel like crap...not sure if it's TOM or the frustration that I can't even take time to grieve my mother because I'm taking care of everyone else!
Little Chick - I'm so sorry for your loss. It's tough, sending (((hugs))) your way!
Ruth - I couldn't get in to read your journal, but whatever it is, please take care of you. We are all here for you!!
Ellis - Take care of your legs!!
Schatzi - you are crazy...always enjoy your posts!!
