Hi!
Got alot done today, even exercised!!! Didn't get around to making dinner...DH will have to survive. DS#1 is never home anymore! He's 14 and its summer, I cut him slack as long as long as he calls in and gives me updates.

Tiff~ Thats a nice scale! I likey!! You buy it when your ready, If I get mine 1st I can tell you what I think!
Deanna~ Yup! I interval though. Power walk/jog. I maintain a 3.6- 4.0 mph alone, 3.2-3.6 mph with the jogging stroller. Jogging is consistent for some crazy reason @ 5.2mph. My high speed sprinting w/ stroller was 7.4! I can't run a full mile yet but I'm up to only two walking stops. I've been sprinting every other work out as well. Its working wonders on the jiggle jaggle!!

grrr..irritation sets in
 

I feel so ...umphgrrrmm.

I wish my kids would go away, I'm heading towards 9 months of nonstop teenagers(teacher!). and my own are 12, 14, 14 and 16. They are driving me nuts!
It makes me want to eat. :mad:

Thanks, stevi..... that's what I need to do is interval. I'm at 3.2 for 2 miles, but I could do more. and I've got to do more in less time once school starts.

Thanks heritagephoto, I'm gonna go google some picks now.

I started water aerobics this week. YES, it is a blast and I just love it. I go on Tues and Thurs. 2.50 a class at the Y. Eating has be GREAT this week, hoping for a loss at WW on Monday.

Have a marvy weekend.

(((Hugs)))

Howdy.

Avon has a great scale that measures, weight, hydration, % fat and bone mass...I love it!!! google Avon, to find a rep near you input your postal code, call and order!!!

its a good life!
 

I'm feeling good, doing good.

New pizza strategy- make the husband and kids order it, eat it, and hide the box before I get home from work.

weighing the same for three days again. I continue to marvel at how I could have eaten all I used to, sit, veg, and stay the same, and now I eat like a bird, watch every calorie, AND exercise and it doesn't budge. :chin:

ah well, today is day 12/I've lost 6 pounds/and I'm shooting for my first 21 day challenge.

racing or limping?
 

207...finally. Saturdays are a pooper because the hubby folds in all sorts of temptations. :devil: But overall a pretty good day.

yayy! vroom...vroom...
 

206! I can't hardly believe it! going to work out now... I'm working on intervals like stevi said. :spin:

hello ladies. i am still here, just a little pooped, and totally busy! life never seems to stop, but we will see what comes this week. DS has his first full week of school, so hpefully thing will get back into routine. Have a greeat monday!!!

temptation wins...
 

missed lunch while in 1st aid/cpr. Ran home to eat turkey sandwich, can't reach the fridge (floor guy is here, we're getting new flooring). Need food! Let teenage daughter w/permit drive- going to chevron to get low fat turkey sandwich-ROAD's CLOSED. Trying to go further on down the road to Wendy's- Jill couldn't manage a lane change (ready to sob, but I don't want to discourage or frighten Jill, the newbie driver). Ate at panda, gave the rice to jill and I ate the chicken w/mushroom and chicken w/broccoli. And ate the leftover evil, evil orange chicken for dinner. :mad:

But, still walked 2 miles and am 206 this morning.

I'm taking the kids to a 100 year old theme park as a last hurrah of summer tomorrow. I've got to plan ahead on this one!!! turkey pita's in a lunch cooler.

upswife- I think you and I are backwards. I'm scared to go back to school, I'll lose control of exercise time. You must be getting ready for school and looking forward to getting back your exercise time?

annie175- how'd you do? what's your leader like?

Hey friends,
I'm still here.
Not totally out of control, but just hanging on. I hope this 3 week cold is about done with me, because I'm way passed done with it. :dizzy:
I haven't been doing too bad on food but almost no exercise. I've been coughing like crazy when I get too hot.
We finally got rain and some cooler temps. It was only 89f yesterday and is going to be the same today...WOOHOO.

Later.

Camping was good. Big storm Sat night, got a little soggy.

Back into full swing aroung here, 9 kids, mountains of laundry,Avon meeting last night and tonight, yoga Wed, DS has hockey 2 afternoons this week.

Very, very tired of being fat. Looking forward to Sept and all the changes it brings with most of these kids in school.Just might be able to exercise.

Feeling very sad and nostalgic about DD going in fulltime. sob

My dear friends father died yesterday. It was sudden and fast lukemia. Her DH was killed in an accident 2 years ago( you might remember) and her twin brother 2 years before that. Way too much loss for a young woman. She has 2 sons and her mom lives near by. I am sooo worried about her dear mom. She is a fiesty old girl but a soft heart.

uh oh. back to work tomorrow
 

did ok today. exercised, diet not great but okay, journal is next after this. All of a sudden I feel like making that sound that Al Pacino did in "the scent of a woman". You know what I mean? I think it sums up being jaded with a routine :tread: --- Hooooo aahhhh-----

Morning...

Deanna - didn't do well at WW. Up 2 lbs, and it is not muscle, it is from eating.

Holly - I remember you telling us about your frieind, the poor dear, she has had enough sadness. Prayers.

Everyone stay healthy and happy.

(((HUGS)))

Hi gang.

I am feeling very tired and fat. (and I am both). I need to move a lot more or harder at least. never stop moving. Sept 5th life changes radically for me.That will be my clean start.

I did okay over the summer but had gained a lot throughout the year before that and I was huge to begin with. Gotta love stress, 2 jobs and a thankless hubby etc. and a weakness to relax with food.

What I need are schedules for hockey, gymnastics, school council, sunday school stuff is done, I an teaching primary this year( once a month-we rotate), i have 2 events booked for Avon stuff and need school schedules for the 2 JK kids who go every other day, fingers crossed they are on the same schedule(different schools).

I want to work in yoga once a week but.....................time? money?

I can walk if I dont have a whole gaggle of kids. I need to schedule that and avon time.

I cant really put anything into place until I have all the info info.

Only 7 kids today*cockoo,cuckoo*.
Funeral at 2. It will be a hard one. There will be 3 grave sites in a row to visit.

Holly: Hugs and prayers for your friend and her family.
I have missed you. :hug:
I am also hoping for a new start in Sept. I was losing steady til summer hit, then I just was too hot to do any exercise. So losses have been very minimal.
I've not gave up. I will do this.
