hey carri! i'm definitely sore lol. and it's weird because i like it. it means i pushed myself i didn't just go through the motions!

and re: chiobani... i don't eat that one, but i love the oikos by dannon! (it's cheaper and i'm poor :P)

Carri, what restaraunt in Indiana serves fresh Sushi? Sooo wonderful to have a brother to eat out with, I envy you :smug:

Mel, Arabella & Susie :luck2you: I miss hearing from you.

:hug: to you all, Dee[/COLOR]

Afternoon Girls, or I guess it is evening now here ....it is freezing here only a high of 31 today and get into the low 20's here tonight so I am just hanging at home with the hubs and the dog ...

Dee - I am SO sorry for your loss, that is horribly sad ...will be thinking of you in this time of sadness. Hugs

My goal for the week was 2 pds but I actually lost 3 and a half per the scales this morning so I am super pleased and on the right track...have now lost a total of 7 pds in two weeks.

Have a good rest of the weekend all.

Carri

Hello!

It was a long work week but I managed to get my email down to 14 emails that I have to do something with. Much better than the 162 emails I had on Monday!

I am happy to report a 1 lb loss at TOPS on Thursday. I have 2 more to get back off to where I was on Jan 1. I WILL do it.

Today I haven't stepped foot out of the house. I did some house cleaning and wiped out the fridge before 9:30 a.m. this morning. DH went to the grocery and I wanted to clean it out before he came home with new stuff.

Dee: I am so sorry to hear of your friends passing. So very young and so very sad. :hug: to you. I will keep her daughter in my prayers as well as you. Friends are precious and sometimes we are as close with them as we are with family.

Carri: I have had some trouble getting into Biggest Loser too and for me it is due to Conda..she is irritating! It was a good episode this week though.

Liz: Did you get your walk in before the snow?

Mandy: What sort of strenght training are you doing?

Where in the world are Arabella, Auntie G and Mel??? :?:

susie: i'm doing a lot of upper body stuff with an all-in-one gym because that's all i really have access to and i'm enjoying it. my husband is helping me :)

tonight is a strength training day and i'm excited :)

It has been a relaxing day for me. I am about to go do some yoga here in a bit but that is about as strenous as it is getting today.

I have been on track with my food and calorie range yesterday and today.

It is pretty quiet here so I'm thinking you all have been relaxing too!

Mandy: I used to love strength training. It made me feel so powerful afterwards to have that soreness in my muscles from pushing them a little further than I thought they could go.
Keep up the good work.

last night after doing 3 sets of 10 on 50lb for the bench hubby was like "let's see if you can do 90..." and i did, then he was like "hmm... let's see, try again"... then he was like "yeah, you just bench pressed 100 pounds with tired arms. good job"

i felt like some kind of god there for a second.

Morning Girls ....hope you all had a great weekend ...I am still riding high on my weight loss for last week...it is really helping me stay OP ...hope I can do it with dh out of town this week though...I tend to eat really bad when alone because no one can see me do it haha but will try and stay strong and active and then keep my mind off the food...

Mandy - great job with the weigh training...sounds awesome

Susie - congrats on the loss ...keep it up !!!

Nothing too exiting for me over the weekend, just lazing around basically...gonna REALLY warm up here this week...Weds supposed to be a high of 65 which is quite unheard of around here in Feb ....but it is Leap Day that day so the whole thing is kind of odd, haha

Have a great day everyone !!!

Carri

wow ....so quiet around here ...looks like we need to recruit some new members haha :D Hope you all are doing well....

Same ol' here, still sticking to plan and hoping to lose my 2 pds this week, I snuck on scale this morning and was only down a half of a pound but I know a lot can happen weightloss wise between now and Saturdays weigh in.

Liz - I cant remember, at what rate where you losing ? Like 2-3 a week or more? Seems like you got it off quickly but I can't remember how long it took you ...did you just stay around like 1500-1600 cals or how low did you go?

Hi to everybody, hope you all are having a great week !!!

Come back on and talk :hug:

Carri

Hi. Carri is right, it has been quiet here.

My Director is in town this week so I'm in early to the office and leaving late and not taking lunch..just eating at my desk but today I decided I was jumping on here for a bit..I need to get my ONEDERLAND Gang fix!

While I have been having busy days in the office this week I am proud to say that I have gotten in a 30 min walk at the Y on Monday and Tuesday and it's so nice here today (Carri--we have 65 F degree weathier today) so I hope when I get home I can do the walk outside.

I have added a new ticker goal at the bottom of my signature. It is something I am working for by April 27 as that is Ohio TOPS SRD day (State Recognition). This is a very motivating event to go to. I haven't been in a couple of years but this year it is in Akron, OH and that is a nice "trip" for me and DH to make so I want to go and thought it was a great opportunity to challenge myself and work towards something.

So I am logging my food again on my Lose It app and getting in at least 30 min of exercise 5 days a week. That's the plan.

Carri: What did you think of Biggest Loser last night? Now about your DH being out of town. I am one of those eaters who eats more when people aren't around to see me, so I understand. (every ate a candy bar in the bathroom at 2:00 a.m.? or baked a cake and then had to bake another one so no one knew you at the whole thing?!)

As you know, you own the control over that and can decide to use it as a excuse or to conquer and I bet THIS time you can! :hug:

Mandy: You are going to have killer arms...and that chest will sit up high! and that's a good thing to have going for you---as you age, gravity is not kind! :dizzy:;)

I'm looking forward to hearing from everyone. Please come and POST!

Morning Girls

Susie - that made me laugh about eating the whole cake and then having to bake another one, haha ...I haven't done that but have done similar things...and yeah I will eat a lot more when others arent around so I have to take control and be good.

I havent watched B Loser this week yet, I dvr'd it and will watch it maybe tonight or tomorrow ...the whole thing is getting ridiculous though, so hope this weeks episode was better than last weeks.

Hi everyone !!

Carri

Chick's, What r your healthy-silly treats that you do :T
Susie & I made our confessions :o

DH just got home, I gotta go finish supper.

Carri, Susie, Liz, Mel, Mandy, Arabella :drinkup: Luv & Hugs, Dee

hi ladies and happy march!

getting my day sorted out, it's ending with a cook out. every friday i know it's coming, and every friday i stress about how much i'm gonna eat! today i think i'm gonna make a veggie and whole grain rice stir fry dish, so there's at least *something* healthy there to eat. :)

Weigh in today ...was down another 2 pds ...now down a total of 10 pds in three weeks as of today ...woo hoo !!!

Have a great weekend everyone !!!

Carri
