Hi everyone! I just found this thread thanks to bejeweled! So i'll do my little intro here.
I've been overweight all my life. I have a major problem with binge eating!!! I love/hate food, dont we all!! ;) I got under 200 pounds over a year ago, and i loved it. I'm hoping to be there again sometime soon. It would be really nice if i were there before x-mas. so i guess that will be another mini-goal for me! I'm so glad i found this forum. everyone is so encouraging. and it's so nice to know that other people have similar issues. Take care, Kitty :dizzy: |
Hi everyone
I'm new to this, but not new to the weight loss struggle. I've been overweight all my life and am currently in my second week of WW. I'm discouraged because in my first week I only had a .6 pound loss (point six). I'm committed to doing this and making it work. I hope all of you can inspire me! |
Welcome to the Race Girlie Kitty and Chatter Kitty. Two kitties in one day, shu wee!! You will love it here and the support is awesome!
Hello to everyone, still doing great with WW. Still also need to start moving in some way. I have great ideas, but don't do them. Going to be very busy at work! Yikes. My brother just called and invited me to dinner at his house. Baked Cod and veggies, so on the program. Have an excellent OP, on track day! (((Hugs))) Annie |
Welcome to the Race Girlie Kitty and Chatter Kitty. Two kitties in one day, shu wee!! You will love it here and the support is awesome!
Hi Annie I noticed GirlieKitty's post right before mine and was laughing about that. Maybe we need to find one more kitty and we can all be 3FatKitties! LOL! Anyway thanks for the welcome. It's already 10:45 am here and I have only had a cup of coffee. I have such a hard time eating in the morning. I know I need to, but it's just not appealing. I have some of the WW smoothies I haven't tried yet. I need to get some FF Milk. :dizzy: Have a good day everyone! |
Mornin' Ladies
Welcome to the newbies!!! With so much going on it is easy to lose me in the shuffle. I was looking forward to a evening alone but DS woke up screaming and it took him 2 hours to settle. I ended up going to bed with him. Instead of resenting it I embraced it and enjoyed the extra rest. He has gone to a farmer’s market with his best friend&dad to sell a cow. Pretty exciting stuff. I was relieved to see him go. A much needed break. We have had some good dialogue the last couple of days so I am happy about that. That will leave 7 kids here today. I have my helper coming. I am going to get my colour done. I will take the toddlers and leave the big kids with him.I cant wait to have my hair shampooed!!! My weight has crept up a couple of lbs. I need to stop the icecream treats. It is getting more and more. Last night I took the kids into town and we walked to deliver Avon books!! I will do the next 2 towns the same way. Great way to incorporate exercise!! Doing lots of deep breathing and stretching. SS meeting tonight at 7. I am loving the cooler weather. Still getting up to 27C(84F) during the day but about 15C(60F) at night and morning. I love the 15C it is my favourite temp. I love to sit outside in the morning and at night.I have more energy too. |
Hi and Welcome to the new girls!!!
Still here and hanging in there. Right now not counting calories.....just watching it and concentrating on eating when I am hungry. Oh yes and drinking water…..the pop addiction has gotten much better, keep it to one a day now and I think that is fine. I put the calorie counting on hold because I have had lots of “events” this week to go to. Went to the state fair and knew I would be eating fair food. I won’t share the gory details, but I went a girl friend and we ate food on a stick, but bought one of everything and shared it so we didn’t each too much. Then we went to the Big and Rich concert…those are some crazy boys!!! Last night I had dinner with girl friends, but ate a salad. This weekend I am going to go visit some relative and it will involve eating out…..so instead of worrying about calories, I am going to make good choices and go back to the calorie count on Monday. That’s my plan!!!! Thanks to all of you for being there. It is so nice to log in and see familiar and new faces that I can connect with….Everyone have a good weekend!! Lilybutt |
Good Morning Ladies,
It has been pretty quiet aound here. How is everyone doing? I have been overeating badly for the past 2 days. It seems as though losing a few last week gave me license to go on a binge. I want to lose this weight. Somewhere, somehow I need to find strength. I just read a discussion about food ruts and if they are good or bad to your plan. For instance, eating the same lunch and breakfast for a week because you need to finish the box of cereal or deli meat before moving on and buying a new box of cereal and deli meat for next week. What do you think about food ruts? If you eat the same thing every day there is no thinking or worrying. Cereal for breakfast, turkey sandwich for lunch. Simple enough. Share your thoughts. Get the board moving again. Welcome Newcomers. I hope you enjoy it here and find it as helpful and supportive as you need it to be. Lily- Sounds like a great plan! I like that you will not be pressuring yourself to be "perfect" knowing full well that all of your events may make that difficult. I always set myself up for failure like that and beat myself up afterwards. Holly- Sorry about the scales but way to go letting it motivate you back on track. The walking plan sounds great. I had to laugh at the sell a cow thing. I live in a rural area where we still have the down home small time county fair (hasn't been commercialized) with blue ribbons and pie baking contests but going to market to sell a cow has me beat by a mile. Sounds like we have very similar weather. The mornings have been perfect for me. Annie- You are doing great! Keep up the good work. Susie- Hope everything is ok. Have a great day everyone. Sue PS: How do you get my weight tracker thing to show current weight # under my ladybug? |
Happy Friday Everyone!!
Hope all is well for you! Sue - go to quick links tab at top of this page, then signature, change the weight in the line where necessary to say what it needs to say. Save and close. This is the weekend I take my son to see Steve Miller Band in concert for his birthday today. He is 17. My how time flies. Makes me sad my baby is 17. But then again on the other hand, it makes me happy to see such a well adjusted, happy, wonderful young man. WW is on Monday, and am looking forward to WI. Everyone have a terrific OP weekend, and will chat at you all on Monday. (((Hugs))) Annie |
Only 6 kids today and 3 go home by 1!!!!!!!!
DS was beyond grouchy this morning as was a baby. ARG! right back at them. SS meeting last night was irritating..... but we accomplished a lot. My co superintendent has been a lifelong church member. The troll that doesn’t like me has been there for years. They talk about things and people us newer folk don’t know. Rude. Then they make all kinds of suggestions and criticism and do NOTHING to change things. Where as another Mom and I do back-flips all year long and get put down by the troll. The minister and the entire congregation think the other Mom and I walk on water and are openly thankful.That means a lot to me/us. Today I will type and email the minutes and “offer” up their big ideas with a request for leadership. giggle We have decided to make up a nursery class of 2 and under kids. I volunteered to do it!! No more teaching lessons and no more coexisting with the troll.Woohoo!!! Can you say relieved!!!!!! It is muggy and rainy so far today. Food yesterday was good and I was tired and went to bed instead of munching!! Tomorrow we have DH’s family corn-roast at the farm. Always a good time. Love to all! |
Where is everyone????
I am still tired but feeling relaxed and refreshed. I have been fighting a headache that is part allergies part stress. The stress is just the noise level from 8 kids for 5 days straight, really. Hubby and I lounged in bed til 8:30. He is making breaky.I will do a thorough clean of the kitchen and then we are off to the farm for a corn roast with his family. it will be relaxing there too. i hope the rain holds off. I made a low fat bean dip yesterday and was super gassy all night. It was comical. I will take a bath before we go too. Have a splendid weekend!!! |
Hello!
I was determinded that I would get here today. I got up early, did some Yoga, then cleaned house. We went car shopping on Thursday and went back today. It looks like next Saturday, I'm coming home with a brand new car. It's exciting...but then again there is the payments! Oh well, I had planned on getting back into that in the spring...life is what happens when you are making plans. Speaking of plans, I decided today that I would stay on track and for today that meant no Rootbeer (I've been slipping in the habit of one a day, and it's not good for the diet, nor the IC for that matter). I've done really well with that. And while I did have an ice cream cone..that's it for the sweats. I'm going to start off each day with a small goal that will help me stay on track, get back on track, or move on down the track! How is everyone else doing this weekend? Are weekends hard for you? I know that sometimes I struggle withnot having the structure that I have during the week. I'm going to go relax with a book. Just wanted to let you all know that I'm still here, reading the posts at least every other day and trying to post at least every other day. Susie |
good morning girls!!
i have been MIA for a long time. i think i am ready to give it a go again, the summer was just too full and crazy i stopped spending the time on myself and it shows. today i am re-organizing myself and preparing and tomorrow morning i officially start taking care of ME again. wish me luck!! i missed you all very much and it is nice to see so many familiar faces still here! i hope there is still a spot for me! xoxox jodi |
JODSTER MY FRIEND!!!!! It is soooo nice to see you.
Spores and Girlie have drifted off too , maybe they will drift back in. HUGS!! Susie~ you sound great. How was the relaxing with a book?? We had a beautiful day yesterday at the farm with Hubby's parents,bros, sil and all the kids. Much laughter and silliness and games.We stayed til after 10 for the camp fire.DD fell asleep in my arms. I ate way too much dinner. Water and fruit and veg today!!! DH's oldest bro is having marriage troubles. We had a good talk about it. He seem okay. I was worried about him. It will be rocky. He is planning on leaving and should. Sad tho. Lots of housework and garden work today. Putter, putter. |
Hi Everyone. I am having so much trouble staying anywhere close to on track. Not sure what is going on. Weekends are tough but this has been a looong one if you count thurs and fri, lol. Tomorrow I am leaving for a week to my parents but I can, no will, be able to stay on track there. I can also check in here. I hope everyone is having a great weekend and ready for the Monday wagon like me.
Susie- Sounds like a great plan! Good luck with the new car. Holly- Sounds like you had a good time with family. Have fun puttering (Isn't puttering an official exercise? You'll work off that dinner in no time). Hi Jodi!!- Great to see you again. I just got back after a long hiatus so we are on the road again together. Have a great day everyone. Sue |
Hi,
It's a busy Sunday afternoon around here. I just got back from Walmart. Did some grocery shopping. Usually DH does it but he was baking cookies for a friends b-day. My DH is a great baker and our friends always request their special/favorite cookies from him for the b-day. We are going to this friends B-day for a cookout as well. I'm making deviled eggs; I have them boiling at this very moment. I got up this moring and did the Walk Away the Pounds Power Walk. I bought that DVD about a month ago to use it to fill in for my workouts when I can't get to the gym. It's only a mile walk and it's 20 min, but it felt good to start my day out on the right foot. I think that is a key for me in this Race. When I start my day with some sort of physical activity, I stay on track. I can't believe that I actually identified something that really works for me. Now, it's time to put it into practice. I can do that by starting each day with some sort of exercise. Maybe it will be the walk tape, or a walk outside, or my 10 min ab workout, or Yoga, or just parts of the Yoga tape, even 10 min. As long as it's something, to keep me on track as the day begins. Today my goal is to only have one serving of the food at that cookout. This will be hard, because there is always so much good food. But instead of focusing on the food, I 'll focus on the conversations, and the social setting, and let that fill me up. Jodi: Welcome back. It's good to see you again. Holly: I love to putter around. Suzy: A change of location might be just what you need to get back on track. Ok..got to go see to those eggs. Bye! |
Hidee Ho Neighbors.......
Had a very enjoyable weekend. Went home Friday night and did laundry, didn't go to DS football game as it was an away game, and very far away at that. Also got his BD cake done. Made a double fudge, vanilla pudding cake with vanilla icing w/sprinkles. It turned out marvelous. Then DS and I went to Steve Miller Band concert Saturday night for his BD. He loved it, and said it was a the best yet birthday present. Steve Miller ROCKED, he did a 20 minute rendition of Fly Like an Eagle, was very cool. Yesterday made DS his birthday meal to go with cake. I took the ultimate sacrifice and allowed his dad to come to dinner. Guess what, his dad did not show up. Nothing unusual, but was dissappointing for DS. Even tho he is 17, it was still a let down. Broke my heart and told my 19 yr old DD, their dad had better be dead as that is the only excuse. haha. I was determined to give the *ssh*le a piece of my mind, but then decided not to waste my breath as he never listened when we were married either. What a loser! Sorry to vent, however you can mess with anything but my kids. My DS tries so hard to make that relationship work with his dad, and my DD just blows him off and doesn't have much to do with him. It is sad that he has two great kids and doesn't do them right. Anyhoo, WI is tonight, looking forward to it once again. Aunt Flo came in last night, cramping going on now, and what a delite. Everyone have a wonderful Monday, try real hard to stay OP! May the forces be with you. (((Hugs))) Annie |
Hey everyone,
This was dh weekend off. So I had trouble getting here. I started off good, then boy I really blew it today. When he's home we stay on the run and eat out way too much. I have no self control with fast food. No big news there. Up-side, I did go to curves this am. Not that it did any good when I ate chicken fried steak/gravy for lunch. I didn't mention the peach cobbler I had for dessert. Enough beating myself up. I'll just have to get up and start over tomorrow. JODI!!.. My dear friend there is always room for you. welcome back. We've missed you. (((HUGS))) Annie: I would love to see Steve Miller in concert. You gave DS a wonderful birthday. It's his fathers loss. Sounds like you have a wonderful relationship with your children. Just love them and keep your little family close. Susie: Sounds like you really try to keep varity in your workouts. I have a couple of watp but almost never use them. You've inspired me to try something new. I get bored easily. Sue: I've had a lot of trouble staying focused for awhile now. I hope it just the heat. I feel like my progress is standing still. Holly: You sound rested. I glad you have a wonderful weekend with dh family. Sorry I sound so down. I just wonder if I can really make the changes that I need to reach my goal. Then keep the weight off. I will really try. Then turn around and eat something I know I shouldn't have. I'm so tried of this weight. I can't give up. I just keep praying for willpower. (((HUGS))) |
"Sorry I sound so down. I just wonder if I can really make the changes that I need to reach my goal. Then keep the weight off. I will really try. Then turn around and eat something I know I shouldn't have. I'm so tried of this weight."~ Deb I could not have said it better. Somedays it seems insurmountable.
Gettin in the groove.At least with my time management issues. Yes I need to plan for exercise and plan meals. I dug and edged the flower bed on the south side of the house yesterday morning for over an hour. The boys moved and spread mulch. The girls and toddlers made mudpies. It was cool and wonderful. We had a scotch mist all afternoon. I stood on the front porch a few times letting it mist my face. Hubby tidied the kitchen, DS cleaned up toys, DD went for a sleep over, I had a 3 hours sessions meeting for church. Much was sorted out and decided. I am going to be the communication liaison for our church between all the groups. I will do a monthly newsletter.It wont be too fancy but helpful. Our photo directory proof was in . I dropped into bed and zonked out. I set my alarm for a half hour earlier. Getting ready for back to school and the possibility of doing some form of exercise in the morning. My biggest problem is I like to be up late and sleep in. My clock has never adjusted even tho DS was up by 5am for the first 5 years of his life. I like to stay up til 1 or 2 and sleep til 9. My late hostas and lilies are blooming right now all pink and white. I need more mums. I only have 1. I need a couple in the back and out front. Maybe next year. Although we need to save to do the floors. Renos are almost done really , compared to where we started. I don’t really have a “plan” for today. It is pretty wet out still but there is yard work. A shrub to be moved,2 bleeding hearts to cut back and divide. Ragweed counts are at their highest hence the stuffy head. Only 7 kids coming today, LOL!! A few phone call to make. I probably should wash the pots and pans.Darn kitchen fairy didn’t come again. Best get to work. HUGS!! |
Good Morning, Good Morning!
What a wonderfully beautiful day in Indy! Wish I could of stayed home and enjoyed it even more! I WILL take a 30 minute walk at lunch today as I did yesterday! Debbie - here's to strength and empowerment to get back on track and run with it. I know you can do it. We can all do it. Holly - sounds like you have a plan for the day. Only 7 kids today, sheesh kind of light isn't it? hehe Susie -great job on WATP, all of it helps so much towards getting to our goals. Well ladies....... I had -2.8 loss last night at WW. A total of 18.2. I am so pleased and excited. My clothes are starting to get a bit baggy, can't wait to move down to 18s. I have a lot of beautiful pant suits and skirts in that size. I have a gorgeous 16 size pant suit that is brand new and can't wait to get into. Must get to work, we have about 10 visitors here today, and I need to play hostest. Stay focused girls....(((HUGS))) Annie |
Good Morning ladies :) I know this is only my 2nd or 3rd post, but I've been offline for a little while due to technical difficulties :lol: I hope everyone is doing well and still striving toward their goals.
By the way Annie, congrats on your 2.8 loss!! I actually got to change the numbers on my tracker for the first time since I joined the race!!!Woo-Hoo! I'm down 2 lbs. It seems like a small number to me, but when I visualize what 2lbs. of fat looks like compared to 2lbs. of muscle, it kind of puts things into a realistic perspective for me. Anyhoo, just wanted to share. Hopefully, I'll get motivated to really start working out this week. Best of luck to all you lovelies. Don't ever quit! :flow2: bejeweled* |
Good evening everyone,
I did a little better today. I made it to curves. Then worked my rear off (LOL) at work. I was outside 95% of the day. I'm not sure if I walked off much weight but I sure sweated it off. B- I was running behind so I didn't take time to eat. L- A 5 point WW meal, sf Jello. snack- apple D- a small pork chop, a couple tbs of mashed potatos and a hugh salad w/ ff dressing I weigh at work tomorrow so I can see if I did any good this week. Bejeweled: CONGRATS!! :) GREAT LOSS. Annie: WOO HOO!!! you guys are just rocking on. :) :) Holly: My friend, you make me tired just reading your posts... LOL. You are a bundle of energy. And your home and gardens show it. You always have time to help out other places also. What a wonderful caring and giving person you are. Everyone have a great evening. |
First, my apologies to EVERYONE for not keeping up lately! I am hoping to be back in the swing of things now!
3 weeks ago DH lost his job (his boss had been trying to find a reason to fire him for awhile because DH got his boss' son fired for legit reasons...DH ended up getting fired over leaving the freezer door open!!) So we went on a nice long vacation... and I gained 3 pounds! I went from being down 13 pounds to being down 9 pounds... so now I have to lose it all back!! (I've lost another 2 pounds, so one more pesky pound to get back to where I was!!) On vacation I went back to drinking soda too :( So I need to break myself of that habit ASAP!! Luckily DH is supportive! Annie, 18 pounds?!?! That's amazing!! WW is really working for you!! I need to get my butt in gear, maybe I should try WW! BeJeweled, 2 pounds is a great loss!! ANY Loss is a great loss! It's 1 small step to a better, more healthy you!! Debbie, it sounds like you had a great day!! But I do wish that this summer heat would fade into fall QUICKLY!! (Although not looking forward to a cold winter) |
Good morning,
LB, Glad you made it back. That was a small gain for so much stress. I eat like crazy when I'm under a lot of stress. My mom was just the opposite. During her divorce she lost from 150 to 99 in just a couple pf months. Of all the genes she gave me I wish I had got that one... LOL I plan to go to curves again today. I have my WW meal and a snack ready. It's going to be a good day. :) EVERYONE HVE A BESSED DAY |
Hello,
I've been here to read some posts put this is my first chance to post back. It looks like everyone is doing great with the losses and those that have gained have had small gains. Remember that success is getting up one more time than when you fall down. I've been doing pretty good with things this week. I've not been snacking, nor have I been eating a lot of sugar, and I've worked out everyday. I'm hoping for a loss at the scales tomorrow night at my TOPS meeting. I'm getting my hair done tonight. It always makes me feel good. Been looking though the new clothes catalogues that have been arriving. I'm sort of depressed because I wanted to be in an 18 by now, and I'm still in a 20. But, it's better than the 24's I used to be in! Just wanted to start my day with your wonderful ladies. Today is our day..let's us it to our best ability. Susie |
Hi--
I haven't been on this thread for a while, but it doesn't mean that I don't miss you, or that I've fallen totally off the wagon! It was hard to keep up with three busy threads, especially the personals, and I got a bit overwhelmed when life got crazy...so just passing through to send hugs and good wishes, and to congratulate you all for sticking with the Race to 199. I'm settling into my new job, and happy as a clam. Vacations and out-of-town guests have come and gone, so I'm working my way back into my healthy routines--going to Curves, walking, low-carb eating and journaling. I'm also signing up for a full-figured Pilates class this fall. I regained a few pounds over the course of the summer, but I've stopped beating myself up about it and am moving forward. I often read your posts, because just hearing your voices on this thread gives me energy and motivation. I will drop in now and again to say hi, and maybe by next month I'll be able to become a regular again. In the meantime, feel free to send me shout-outs through the private messages. In the meantime, good luck and keep up the good work! hugs--judy |
YEAH!!!!
I LOVE WW, DOWN 8LBS :) at work more this pm. |
It's been 2 long
Some of you might remember me from way back when...think hard... :headache:
My last post was in Dec '04. I got too frustrated and disgusted to post anymore. Well, I'm gonna try this once again since I'm fast approaching my highest weight ever (again). The support in 3FC forums is so helpful...a great place to vent and get it all out. :tantrum: I recently read some success stories about people who committed themselves to eating Lean Cuisines regularly. Anybody here tried that? I've also discussed bariatric surgery to a great extent and that is still in the back of my mind. My biggest problem is getting motivated to exercise again. Like many of us, I joined a women's fitness club, went for a few months with little or no success and got frustrated. So I've only been back briefly but hope to get back on the wagon fully. Looking forward to getting back in touch with you guys and getting inspired by your successes! |
Hi Girls,
Just a quick note. Having a good time and being good here at my folks. Congrats Annie and Debbie on the Weight loss. Everyone sounds like they are doing well. Great job. Sue PS: Welcome Back Heather. I remember. |
Debbie!!! Woohoooo!!!!
Annie! you are motivating me!!! Keep on! Hevron, welcome back. Those meals have a lot of sodium but low cals. Hi Judy, Susie, Suzy!! Where is that Jody!!!! Very, very, very busy this week, feeling a little racey but getting in some down time to do a bit of yoga. "Holly: My friend, you make me tired just reading your posts... LOL. You are a bundle of energy. And your home and gardens show it. You always have time to help out other places also. What a wonderful caring and giving person you are. " Debbie, thank you so much. You have touched my heart in a deep and profound way. I dont often hear these kinds of words. Love to you! |
Hey all will post more tomorrow.
Heather - I remember you. I left Lilly in December and started my new permanant position Jan 3, and just love it here. Welcome back! Hey Judy, missed you, life does get crazy! Hello to all. Annie |
Debbie Way To Go! Bravo!! And Congrats!!!
|
Good evening everyone,
I made it to curves this am. That's 3x this week. It's been awhile since I've done that. Our little ww group at work has 13 people. 11 of us weighed today and we have a combined loss of 43.5 lbs in our 1st week. Good start. B- yogurt and applesauce L- ww meal and lrg salad S- sf jello D- 3 egg white omlette w/ grilled veggies and 1 sl of pepper jack cheese I won't make it to curves tomorrow, work too many hours to need extra exercise but I will go sat. Thank everyone for your support. This loss make all those tears the other night seem so silly. (((HUG))) :) Holly: I don't think this loss is a lot of water. I sweat so much I have to take supplements to keep away the muscle spasms. I stay dehydrated most of the summer. I really needed this moral booster. I was getting very discouraged. Heather: WELCOME BACK! I feel like I just got back into the race. Jump on in. We will do this. Judy: We are always glad to hear from you. Stop by anytime. Glad everthing is going well for you. keep in touch (((HUGS))) Good night, |
Debbie This is a moral booster to keep you flying for weeks, maybe months. You must feel wonderful.(((HUGS)))
I was down 3.75 tonight. Sigh of relief. 1.25 to get back to 225. Then downward. |
I'm doing so horrible since I got back from vacation!! Hopefully I haven't gained!! With DH home all the time I haven't done much exercising :( Although I'm looking at my colleges website right now about their fitness facility (with DH not working I had to drop my gym membership) and here is what they say
Quote:
Although after reading more I found out that it doesn't sound like I can use the gym without taking a 1 credit course...I don't want to pay $100 to use the gym for a few weeks this semester! HERE and HERE are some links if anyone can decipher for me ;) Debbie, you sound like you are doing so great! I wish I could get on program like you!! You're posts always inspire me! MyChoice, 20's are still better than 24's! I know you have the right attitude but it never hurts to be encouraged!! I can't wait till I'm down to 20's!! (22 right now) Judy, it sounds like you're doing amazing!! And I totally understand how tough it is to keep up with personals! (Especially in busy threads like this one!) Hevron, Welcome to our thread!! This is a wonderful place for support from some wonderful women! I know many times this thread has kept me on track! If you need anything at all, send me a PM! Holly, CONGRATS on being down again!! You're so close to 225!! Keep going! (I know you are *lol* ) |
I have been having lots of thoughts about my aunt and sis. I wrote all about it. I keep thinking about the holidays coming up. We made plans with DH’s family last weekend so it’s been on my mind.
The bottom line is that my aunt thinks I hate her and I dont. There is really no point in trying to talk to her because she is monumentally stubborn and set in her ways. It just bugs me. I accomplished LOTS yesteday. Feeling good about it. I transplanted a bleeding heart, moved the house centre from the toyroom to the basement,patched 3 pairs of jeans for DS and made a bunch of church calls. I fed the troops, went for groceries, went to tops, had a meeting with the grocery guy. We do an annual freezer and grocery order and pay a monthly payment. This is our 5th year. It certainly saves on gas and time.It is even as far as the $$ goes.I still buy produce, bread, milk, dairy...the expensive stuff. I need to make about 30 Avon follow up calls by Monday. I will do about 6 a day. 8 kids today. Beautiful weather again. 12c(54F) right now going up to 26c(82 F) wooohoooo!!! HUGS!! |
Holly, ((HUGS)) I'm sorry about your aunt! I think we all encounter that at some point in our lives, and it always sucks! Sounds like you've had a pretty productive few days!!
|
Lunch today was...ugh
Today I had a Lean Cuisine meal for lunch; it was definitely NOT what I wanted! It was the teriyaki chicken bowl, which I usually like...today was just not the day. :sorry: Oh well, at least I'm full.
Went to water aerobics last night at New Lady Fitness. :coach: It was a great class, and boy, my abs felt it this morning! I'll be back there tomorrow. Just gotta find the exercise that will keep me coming back for more; for now, swimming and water aerobics should do the trick. Motivation is the hardest part for me. Tonight I plan to do some yard work - trim the weeds, all that stuff. Might try another class, although I don't want to get burned out. The goal for the next week is to stay committed to some kind of exercise at least every other day. It's got to become a habit! Hope everyone else is having a great week. |
Congrats Hollimeister on the loss! I am trying to catch you. Gonna take me a bit of time tho. Stubborn relatives are the worst.
Come on Legally B...we can do this, pick yourself up and get a move on. Get in my wagon and ride with me. Please think healthy thoughts for my dad. He has to have a pace maker put in on the 2nd of Sept. He had heart bypass about 15 years ago, then had to have a stent put in about 5 years ago, now his heart rate is only 40 beats a minute, I think 30 beats a minute is comatose. I will be taking him to the hospital for that. I still feel like I am doing great with WW. I also still need to exercise more, I mean start exercising. hehe. I am loving this program. This next Monday will be 6 weeks, and am looking forward to the WI. I am planning on taking vacations days, Fri Sept 2, for my dad, then off for the 3 day labor day weekend, and am taking Tues the 6th off also. That will be a nice break in the work week. Everyone stay focused, chat at cha tomorrow. (((HUGS))) Annie |
hello chicks!!!
this week is flying by sorry i haven't been in since i peeked my head in sunday. my DD started school yesterday (10th grade) and older DS started today (8th grade) so i have been doing my usual back to school rush to get all the stuff ready. little DS is off for another 2 weeks so i can breathe a bit before i have to get him ready. i started off my new resolution week sort of crappy but turned it around yesterday. while i was school shopping i bought myself a cute new notebook to use as a journal and then came home last night and wrote everything down. i got out the WW books and am going to follow the plan again heck i might even go to a meeting this weekend. i gained way too much over the last 2 months. i am ready to get started again though. for real!! i was shocked to look through the WW stuff and see i was 218 at my last meeting 1st week of july and when i weighed in on monday i was 227 AGAIN!! no one to blame but myself, i let all my support go and quit caring about myself again. lots of thing were going on at the time.... DH's grandma had a stroke in june and is now in a nursing home, this brought back a ton of emotional stuff from loosing my own g-ma earlier this year. money stuff is a pain too, trying to scrape together tuition payments and enough to take a way too short vacation this summer. anyway excuses all behind me i am back in the race AGAIN, i want to loose 27 by the end of december so i guess i best get my butt moving!! nice to be back thanks for listening to all my junk! holly i missed you too!! sounds like you are busy as ever! 7 kids to watch and sell AVON god bless you girl!! mychoice nice to see you! you have such a great attitude keep up the positive thoughts! annie- my ex sounds like your's brother. too bad he is missing out on his kids. like you i can't help my temper where my kids are concerned. good for you taking DS for the b-day concert. those are the things you want him to remember!! great job with WW i love it too (if i could just stick to it this time) are you doing core or flex?? whatever keep up the great work!! debbie- you going to WW too?? good for you girl that was a great loss!! keep it up!! hevron- i remember! i'm just recently back myself. dive in girl!! you can do it!!! BTW i'm not a big fan of lean cuisine but i LOVE the WW smart ones meals there are some really tasty ones. i try to eat them for lunch at work whenever i can. good luck!! suzy enjoy the time with your folks!! judydc you're not the only one who fell off this summer, good luck getting back into the groove!! legally hi!! good luck with the school gym dilemma! bejeweled nice to meet you! congrats on the loss. i know i missed someone and so sending out a group hug! i have to go pick up DS from football have a great evening ladies!! |
Good evening,
WOW! Everyone sounds so up. :) I just came home to dark empty house with the door unlocked. We live in the country and never lock our doors but for some reason it spooked me this time. I had a very busy day one of my co-worker was on vacation and the girl who was suppose to help was a no show. I feel like I sweated off 10lbs. I had a few points banked, but I used them today. B- yogurt and applesauce L- chinese buffet, nothing fried, no rice, noodles or sweet and sour...BUMMER S- 100cal pack of ritz mini crackers D- Grilled chicken sand Sounds like a lot but I worked 11 hour so I needed the energy. It's late and I have to be back at work at 7am so I better do personals later. BIG (((HUGS))) |
