Hey kids :)

I am still stuffed with snot. YAY sinus infections. STUPID WHORE TREES. AND STUPID SLUTTY GRASS! Their reproduction cycle makes my face hurt, literally.

Anyway, reading NROL4W and loving it to pieces. I love the fact that it backs up my decision to eat more by saying the whole "eat less, move more" idea that gets thrown around is contradictory because eating less tells your metabolism to slow down, and moving more tells it to slow up. That would explain plateaus! I posted this earlier on another thread (asking about "what's your diet plan") and feel as though I am going to be ripped to shreds. I probably will not check responses.

I hope you all have a good day! :)

Actually I know this sounds horrible but I am giving myself a diet free period for the next few days...I am just really burnt out from having to count every calorie and with my TOM I am just having really bad carb cravings....I just need this time to back off a little...I have done really well and will continue to do so after these days but I just need this right now, no excuses, I just do.

In fact I am going out for chinese for lunch with my brother in a few minutes...have a good day girls


Carri

And Mandy your first paragraph just made me laugh out loud, thanks ...I needed that....haha

Carri: It's good to take a mini break for a day or two. Remember during TOM to eat more protein as your body is most likely craving it.

Have a nice lunch with your brother.

Mandy: Your post made me laugh. I do hope you feel better soon!

Dee: Feeling any better?

Dreamer: Where are you?

I am trying to fight off a "hunger craving" as I will be eating my lunch in an hour. So, I came here to gather "strength". Thanks for being here ladies!

Glad I could make you guys laugh :) My husband gives me weird looks when I tell him tree sperm makes me sneeze, or that my car looks like it was the victim of a botanical gang bang. :-\ Apparently sex jokes are not appreciated even when they are about trees... or acknowledging the fact that pollen = plant sperm.

Anyway, last night was a gym night and I'm sore from my shoulders to my ankles... I guess that's good, cause it was a leg and core night. Burned 706 calories.

Hope you all have a good day!

:rofl::fr::lol: Get Well Soon!

Well hello ladies....long time no type I know :/
I want to thank Carri and Susie for keeping up with me on facebook :)
I have not been on a "diet" but have been trying to watch what I eat and have went from 205 to 198 lately since doing so. I know I am not where I want to be but pretty much maintaining has been nice.
I know I need to post here but since I am very rarely on my computer and do everything from my phone its been hard. Hope everyone is doing well and if you want to add me on facebook (I dont talk about my weight at all on there but we can keep in contact more) I am on Carri and Susie's friends list. Thanks ladies for always being amazing!!

Hi Everyone,

I am happy to report that I had a loss at TOPS on Thursday. I lost 1.5 lbs.

It felt great to have those scales go down! Now to do it again this week!

It's so yucky and dreary here today in Ohio. I haven't done much of anything and I need to get in gear and get something done.

My DH is dealing with a nasty cold and since he has no energy I am letting it affect me.

Mel: So good to see you here and hey, Welcome to ONEderland! 198 looks good on you!

Dee: Good job on your loss and I'm glad that you got the Rx so you are feeling better.
I love water--it is so calming and restoritive. I have a few desk-top fountains in my house that I turn on when I come home from work; to help calm me and transition my mind.

Carri: How was lunch with your brother?

hey kids!!

tuesday is the day! i'm both excited and nervous to weigh in and take measurements. i played with the body fat analyzer a little bit and it seems i'm down about half a percent in body fat since i got it. YAY! i hope it's right. weekly measures will start to tell the trend. gonna take the tape measure to my neck, chest (over bust), bust, waist, belly button, hips, bicep, thigh, and calf once a week to see where the fat is disappearing from. I'm thinking bicep/chest/bust/waist more than belly button and lower. but since i haven't measured in a while we'll see how it's doing. i'll do a daily weigh in (which i will be tracking here: https://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/HackDiet). i'm also gonna be tracking my blood pressure, per doctors request.

anyway, kind of exited to start tracking after the last month of letting things reset!

GUESS WHAT?!?!

I HELD A PLANK FOR 31 SECONDS TONIGHT!!

yes, that deserves all caps and probably a bajillion exclamation points to properly convey my excitement, but i'll spare you the eye-burn. that's the first time i've ever held a plank for more than 30 seconds. when i started strength training at the end of february, i couldn't hold a plank for more than 15 seconds to save my life. SO HAPPY! :)

i'm gonna start singin that song "dancin with myself..." :P

i hope you all are doing well today!

Crazy busy Monday but I thought Mandy needed help with her "dance celebration" so here it is Mandy!

:carrot::carrot::carrot::spin::spin::spin::jig::br avo::bravo::bravo::bravo::cb::cb::cb::cp::cp::cp:: hat::hat::dance::dance::dance::dance:twirly:

A plank for 31 seconds would make me want to puke..but it has to feel amazing when you do it!

Morning Girls, sorry I have been MIA ....I took a few vacation days from work and just didn't get on the computer at all ....yay for Mel stopping in and telling us that she is in Onederland !!! Congrats Mel !!! :carrot::carrot:

I did have my time off from my diet ...it actually went from Thursday through Sunday ...so quite a LONG time off of it ...but its now out of my system ...scale said I was up 7 pds, but I know that is not possible, just water weight and such ...now I know I probably gained 1-2 but I can get that off this week ...I had a LOT of junk food and sweets AND my favorite fountain cherry coke, but it is out of my system now for a while....

Mandy - good job on the plank, you are getting really strong !!!

Susie - lunch with my brother was great ...I was full of chinese !!!! MMMM eggrolls ....

Dee - so did you end up having any chinese since I tempted you ? haha

Well I gotta get back to work, have a good day all !!!

Carri

Susie- Thanks! I am hoping to start losing again soon. Congrats on the 1.5 lb loss!!!

Carri- Thats probably all water weight like you said and should shed off quickly! Thanks for the congrats!! Now to get out of the 190s....which has always seemed to be impossible!! lol

Hey Ya'll! It's been a while.
Sooo busy after the move. Finally caught up on everything. I haven't stepped on a scale often, but last I did was sometime last week and it said I was back to 241 :\ If I didn't gain more than that with all the sodium, eating out and laziness of the move and situating classes and catching up on everything I'll be happy. I started c25k yesterday and was still WAAAAYYY over my calorie range but I am making a vow to go to the workout room here at our apartments every day. I don't plan on weighing myself for 2+ weeks because I also started some light weight training today and I know that every time I start running I retain weight until my body gets used to it. Add weight training in there and I probably won't see the scale move for a month or so. I am also lowering my cals back to 1200, I had more success there than i did at 1400 because I think "oh I can add 100 cals and it's ok" but at 1400 I do that and I get dangerously close to the cal range where I don't lose at all because of my PCOS which is 1600. Hope you all are doing well on your journey. Sorry it took me so long to come back! HUUGGSSS
