Hello Ladies,
Just a quick hello... Things are busy here again this week and unfortunately I have not been bringing my lunch, so i've been eating out quite a bit... I will post later this evening.. |
Goodness, where is everyone?
Maybe we need a new home to get us motivated. Patty--I know it's hard to make good choices eating out. Can you try to bring your lunch certain days? WI Thur. |
Hi Catlover,
I agree with you we need to get our folks motivated. I, myself, am sort of at a plateau again and this does get frustrating. I may even have a slight gain at tomorrow's weigh-in. I have been doing the treadmill at least 30 minutes since Sunday even though it's been quite hot here in Phoenix. I do have a couple of things to look forward to--one being going to a concert where Clay Aiken will perform and it will be the day after my birthday--April Fool's Day. After I sign off here I am going to write an e-mail to the Arena to see how I can get on a list to meet this young man. I have to go all by myself to the Concert but I think it will be worth it. Take care, Anita |
Nita--WTG on the treadmill.
OK, everyone, lets do some brain-storming on some challenges. Ideas? |
RE: "Pe-can" on you...!!
http://www.imgag.com/product/full/ap...2/graphic1.gif
Hey There Everyone...!! Challenges... exercise would be a good one for us. Spring weather is returning and we can get outside to walk more. Also remaining OP would be a good one. Or, even posting frequently? Not 'pe-can' on anyone... just am surprised at our thread! Let's post, keep communicating. :dancer: :flow2: :flow1: :dancer: :flow2: :flow1: :dancer: :flow2: :flow1: :dancer: |
Hi chicks~~ just a quick post as it's STILL extremely hot for me here. It must be over 90 again..just when do they predict the cool down??? Anyhoo, i did good for 2 mornings now i've gotten up early and did the treadmill in the workout room. 1 mile each time, and in under 20 minutes. And do i sweat doing the treadmill 1 mile v.s. walking 1 mile. so i know it's gotta be a much better workout for me. I had the incline up to 7 at times and the pace about 3.5 mph alot of the time. Said i burned about 160 calories today while doing that mile. Hope so!! Also did some free wts. the day before. Now my triceps are a bit sore today, so i will wait a day to do them again. But that is one of my worst things is the "under-arm-dingle-dangle" !! :lol:
Got 3 new long sleeved tops(2 are pullover and 1 is a hooded zip ) from Sears today for the price of one basically. All 3 only came to 18$. I was thrilled. I knew 2 of them were down to $5.00 apiece...but the other one (the hooded zip jacket) when it rang up took off more! So i was VERY happy.I have about worn out my velour zip up workout jacket that i bought in Mesa last year. So I really needed a new hooded one. The other 2 are some type of fleece that blocks alot of wind too, so i think i'll get alot of use on the motorcycle and such. I know i don't need them right now, but soon enough the weather will be cool in the mornings. And back home you never know when it can be downright COLD!! :) :( ???????? Was at Sears in the first place so DH could price prescription glasses there, but in the end we bought them at the Costco Warehouse. Best prices around it seems. I am challenging you all to do some different exercise as i have begun doing. They say if we keep doing the same workout our bodies won't get the benefits like it did in the begining of the program...so you can all try to come up w/a new one for you~! Let us know what you are trying. :wave: :grouphug: thinlizzie |
Hi Everyone,
Just a quick post to let you all know I worked today and then came home and did the treadmill for almost 30 minutes. Tonight is weigh in and I will let you know how I did tomorrow. Thin -- I have never gotten my treadmill up to 3.5--the highest I have gone is 3.4 and for only a short period of time. Also I usually go to about 3 on the incline. When I am at the gym I do the weight loss program and that does take you to a 9 incline at some time in the program. I am very proud of you--keep up the good work. Halgal -- I received my books yesterday and I will check out Passing for Thin. I also got the book by Gorge who has an eight minute workout. I will let you know if I learn anything new. Talk to you all soon! Anita |
Hi, Chicks--
WI at my dr and verified the lb it said I lost on the other dr's scale--and maybe a bit more. More exercise and new sounds good. I will think about this. Of course, I'm kind of stuck with walking as I have to walk the dog, but maybe I can get some swimming in too as the weather gets warmer. |
If there is one flaw in Women .................
Good afternoon chickies - sorry I have not post lately but I seem to have so much to do and I had to cut down the computer time. Eating those Mother's Day chocolates was maybe not such a good idea as I found it easier to give in to a some cake and a chocolate sweet at work on Tuesday. I was thinking how easily I could slip into bad old habits but if I do I will only put on the little nit of weight that I have lost. So I will have to be more careful and say not to all the junk food. This is the only way for me to do it. I am not starving as I eat plenty of healthy foods.
I walked 4 miles yesterday and went linedancing for 3 hours last night. Today is 'tidy up house' day so I guess I should get back to it. I got the following in an e-mail today and thought it was worth passing on to all you wonderful ladies. WOMAN By the time the Lord made woman, he was into his sixth day of working overtime. An angel appeared and said, "Why are you spending so much time on this one?" And the Lord answered, "Have you seen the spec sheet on her? She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable, run on diet coke and leftovers, have a lap that can hold four children at one time, have a kiss that can cure anything from scraped knee to a broken heart and have two pairs of hands." The angel was astounded at the requirements. "Two pairs of hands! No way! And that's just on the standard model? That's too much work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish." "But I can't," the Lord protested. "I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. She already heals herself when she is sick AND can work 18 hour days." The angel moved closer and touched the woman. "But you have made her so soft, Lord." "She is soft," the Lord agreed, "but I have also made her tough. You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish." "Will she be able to think?", asked the angel. The Lord replied, "Not only will she be able to think, she will be able to reason and negotiate." The angel then noticed something, and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek. "Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model. I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one." "That's not a leak," the Lord corrected, "that's a tear!" "What's the tear for?" the angel asked. The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love, her loneliness, her grief and her pride." The angel was impressed. "You are a genius, Lord. You thought of everything! Woman is truly amazing." And she is!...... Women have strengths that amaze men. They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They fight for what they believe in. They stand up to injustice. They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution. They go without so their family can have. They go to the doctor with a frightened friend. They love unconditionally. They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards. They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can help to heal a broken heart. Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes. They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning! They bring joy and hope. They have compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to give. HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH. PLEASE pass this along to all your women friends and relatives to remind them just how amazing they are. |
Mornin' Chicks~~ it cooled down to 60 degrees overnight. Great sleeping weather. Of course it made me sleep in just a little later. But i think today i will walk outside w/DH. As he has been skipping on the days i did the treadmill!! :bad boy
Am going to the ranch market to get good fruit and veggies today. Need to fill up 4 gallons of water too. Very different in Arizona on the water. The tap water would not get a person drinking their quota that's for sure! Didn't eat the best choices yesterday. Well, just the french fries at Fridays were bad. And then we ate pretty light at our evening meal. We almost had a sale on the motorhome last night and then we ended up eating very late. But i think if the wife works on the husband they might still come back and buy it. He figured we should sell if for just what he has to offer. But i could not see coming down that much right now. Maybe later of course! :( got to go now. Hi to all the chicks! I will really try to post more later. :wave: :grouphug: thinlizzie |
Good Morning Ladies,
Thin is correct--it did cool off during the night, however, it is going to be 88 today and is supposed to get cooler over the weekend. The mornings are sure terrific and I am not looking forward to our summer weather of over 100. Oh well, everything can't be perfect. Well I lost another pound yesterday making a total of 5-1/2 lbs. in four weeks. It still is not easy and I still have to get back to journaling because the ladies that lose the most that is what they do. Thin -- Don't forget a week from Saturday is the wedding in Mesa. My DH isn't going with me so perhaps we could meet somewhere near the restaurant and at least say "hello" to each other. It is the Landmark Restaurant at 809 West Main Street, Mesa. Is that very far from where you are? The wedding is at 4:30 and I thought perhaps I could get there an hour or so earlier. Let me know. Do you ever come to downtown Phoenix. I am down there every Thursday at 2nd and Roosevelt. I hurt my bowling arm but I am going to attempt to bowl today because it is our monthly luncheon. I hurt it about two weeks ago while cutting a small patch of grass with a hand lawnmower. I must have pulled a muscle. May you all have a "super" weekend and enjoy! Anita |
Hello Ladies,
Cat - On the SBD, it's not that the diet doesn't work for me, it's I'm not letting it work. No diet will work when your eating candy bars for afternoon snack, or going out to eat everyday for lunch. My problem is I need to really plan my meals and have my snacks at work. I know I can do it, it just making that decision to do it. I can bring my lunch everyday, it's just planning.. I have got to plan. Nita - I'm sure the concert is going to be great. Is this at the new center you were talking about a few weeks ago. I hope you get to meet Clay. Let us know. I hope you & Thin get to meet. Thin - You are doing great on your exercise. I have a treadmill here in my living room, just sitting there. Hope the motorhome sale comes though. Mooz - For some reason I was thinking your mother's day was the same as ours... I guess not... Happy Belated Mother's Day.. Ok ladies, I know you heard this before... but today I took the day off and cleaned my house of carbs...no more sabatoging myself. Tomorrow Saturday March 27, I am going to start SBD again... and if for some reason I fail... then i'm going to just get back on track...What I seem to do now, is when I eat something off the program, I think to myself... oh we'll i blew it, then I proceed to really blow it... I need to start thinking, if I blew it then... uh, oh...But get back on track.. you made a mistake, but get just back on track. Also i'm going to start walking on the treadmill, or walk with my friends, or something...I have so many vidoes, it's unbelievable, there's no excuse for not exercising. Today I went and got a hi-lites on my hair, and while I was there got a massage..Oh, felt so good... and i'm thinking if i'm being good to myself with the hair and massage, then why am I not being good about my health... So tomorrow March 27th is my day... |
Nita--hope you are being careful with your arm--don't push it and get a real injury.
Patty--wtg on cleaning the house. Right about being good to yourself/ourselves. |

It's the weekend, and the beginning of a week off for Spring break! What a last few weeks, I mentioned the accident with 9 students, the former student that committed suicide - add to that the parent of a homeroom student (I've had for 3 years now.) committed suicide Thursday afternnon. A very, very, very strange last few weeks. The memorial services for the student were yesterday. The visitation and funeral for the parent are tomorrow and Monday. Thin: OK, I am impressed. It has been awhile since I've had a treadmill to use, but I know 3.5 is fast, and your incline is awesome. Congratulations on doing all you can. I know I can get back to that level of working out, and I look forward to enjoying the positive feelings that come with it! Mooz: Our Mother's Day is May 9th here. Happiest of Mother's day to you! How did your art show go? OneDay: WTG... you can do it girl. WE can do it. AS I slip on my old pair of jeans that use to be loose on me. One just has to wonder how/why we allow this to happen to us. Be good to you. Me too. Nita; I do hope you get to meet Thin - way cool! AS you know, I am curious about the Passing For Thin book. Does she have a website listed anywhere in the book? I am guessing you guys determned HalKetchum'sGal is me too? I did not have my password at school and just set up a new account. Anyway... happy weekend, and may everyone enjoy mostly OP days/moments. :dancer: :flow1: :flow2: :dancer: :flow1: :flow2: :dancer: :flow1: :flow2: :dancer: |
good night
Hal--what a terrible week! Sending :angel: :angel: :angel:
My dryer broke down, no biggie. But I couldn't make up for the time I had to spend at the laundramat because it was my weekend to spend time with DMiL. Incidentally, I was delighted to see that she can get around much better, walkingwith her walker, getting up. Did I mention that I got an offer from a publisher that had published some of my poems in a magazine to do a chapbook? (That's a small fold-over book). So I was flattered and sent them some poems I'd put together. Did pretty well with my walking, but I think none of the home remedies I've tried are working and I need to get back to the podiatrist. When my foot hurts, I look for excuses not to walk. Good night to all-- Catlover :yawn: |
