Good job getting the rest of your workout in!
I don't order clothes from catalogues because I am so picky about the way things fit, and if you couldn't tell by the picture in my profile, I don't tan, so I just like to look at the catalogues and all the trinkets but I never buy anything...as a matter of fact the only Avon thing I've ever bought for myself was chapstick... LOL Hope y'all are having a good morning so far! |
Yeah, I don't tan either so I thought the fake tan stuff could be fun! Problem with my dress is I'm already too small too fit in it! GRRRR! Well, I fit, but not perfectly, YKWIM?
|
I do know what you mean, but you aren't supposed to be aggravated that you are too small for it.... That's good! It shows that your weight loss is making a difference.... Be porud of yourself! ;)
|
Mornin' everyone! Well, I'm ignoring my weight this week until AF goes away- hate her! How's everyone else doing out there today? Jess? Jenn?
|
Good afternoon Miss Trish!
Yesterday I got quite the workout between Curves and an hour of water aerobics... Today I am tired already yet I will be doing the same thing after work, Curves, then water aerobics :lol: At least I saw some pay-off from it all.... Yesterday at the gym I weighed in at 201.5, that is one more pound down and even closer to ONEderland!! Woohoo! |
WOW! Great job! I always wanted to try water aerobics- sounds fun :)
|
It is fun, yet a great workout... you should try it! ;)
|
Hi Ladies!
Great job on your progress Jenn!! :bravo: I'm FINALLY back on the wagon today. I blew yesterday because I was mad about work. Specifically, my husband and I have tickets to see Rush (the band, not Limbaugh!) in Chicago - we've been planning the trip for months. I found out yesterday that I am on call that weekend and can't go. We already paid for the hotel and everything. I'm still a little crabby about it. (I got my June call schedule yesterday, so it's not like I'm able to plan ahead. And, no, they don't include my schedule requests when figuring out the doctors' call schedule. I just have to take what I get.) Grr!!! Tell AF we all said to BEAT IT, Trish! She is just NOT welcome! Hope you have great Fridays! I'll try to check in tomorrow night. Jess |
Hi Jess!
Yay about getting back on the bandwagon! I'm having one of those 'you win some, you lose some' kinda weeks with eating right- but I'm not quitting! LOL! I was SO NOT going to workout tonight, but I put in our Wedding CD and just worked out to it and it felt good to get that aggression out- work just has been long and frustrating lately and it gets to me. But I've found working out helps me feel SO much better in the long run! Keep up the good works, girlies! Jenn, I SO want you to see ONEDERFUL by the end of next week and Jess- I hope you really get back into the swing of things and your work STOPS BEING PAINS IN THE BUTTS! (LOL- I wish my work would stop being pains too!)!!! Here's to a GREAT WEEKEND, chickadees! TOMORROW'S FRIDAY! |
Happy Friday Ladies!!
Thanks for the encouragement. I am 1/2 a pound closer now... 201# as of this morning at the gym...Maybe I will see it by next weekend...how awesome would that be? Sorry about your concert Jess! Is there no way to get someone to switch on-calls with you? That is really crumby!(I would have used another word but I am cutting swears out for the weekend so I don't offend Tim's mom or something) I hope work gets better for you and Trish! Trish, I think that is an excellent way to workout. I think when you work out aggravated you get more of a workout because you take your frustrations out on the equipment or just do things with extra force. I'm glad you felt better afterward! I'm meeting Tim's mom and sister tonight! Somehow I have got past the nerves to excited. I won't be able to get online all weekend though, so I'll let you know how it goes once I get back to a computer. ;) |
Woo hoo! Meeting the family :) Sounds... scarey! I'm just exhausted today- my head has been pounding, AF is playing dumb games with me (ya know- when I KNOW she's going to show, but she hasn't yet) :P
We are meeting a lady today about buying a house at 3. Getting off work in 3 minutes, so I'm gonna go take a short nap. |
Meeting the family is going great! They are just sweet as pie, not that I expected anything less since Tim came from them! ;)
I hope AF stops plays games with you and shows up and high tails it out of there much quicker than she showed up! :goodluck: with the house! I hope that went well and that you are having a great weekend! |
Well, this past weekend was a bust as far as food goes. I'll probably need a whole week to make up for the crap I ate :P Plus, it's Monday morning right now and Jeremy agreed to meet his parents at IHOP- IHOP has NOTHING that's food friendly :P
|
Well, I worked out tonight, so I'm back on track. Did twice the amount of weights just to get me back in the saddle for this week! Sad thing is, it will take all of this week to get back to 154, probably! I don't know if I'm going to see 142 by July 11th, which was my original goal. I'm going to keep heading for it, though, and see what comes!
|
:wave: Good morning ladies!
The weekend with Tim's mom and sister was great. They are just so nice! We went up to Maine on Saturday and to a cookout at my family's house on Sunday. Yesterday I left them alone so they could have some time with just Tim and while they were out, they bought me wizard of oz magnets because "they saw them and thought of me" - how sweet are they? I went out to dinner with them last night and then we just sat around the apartment for a while. Tim is driving them back to the airport today... I wish I could see them off, but my sister is on vacation this week, which means I can't take the day off, so I said my good-byes last night. This morning I went to the gym first thing...I wanted to get my workout in now so I could spend my ENTIRE afternoon with Tim since we hadn't had any personal time to just snuggle with his mom and sister staying at his apartment...anywho I weighed myself while I was at the gym, and I actually cried...HAPPY tears... I saw 198.75#!!!! I DID IT!!! I'm in ONEderland!!! After a holiday weekend and not going to the gym since Friday...I am soooo excited! :cb: Trish, you have to keep the positive attitude going... I think you can definitely make your July 11th goal... you still have a month and 10 days! Keep heading towards it... You CAN do this!! |
I am soooooooooooooooooooooo excited for you!!! WOO HOO!!!! How utterly wonderful!!! Good to go, Jenn!
I'm about 2 pounds over my 154 from last week, but... I know I can shed that weight fast now that I'm back on track. Just need to stay that way! |
Thanks Trish!! :D
You'll be back at 154 before you know it! I know you will stay on track because you want it... Keep working hard! |
Awww, thanks, Jenn! Well, thank goodness- Tuesday is almost over!
|
Mornin'! The week is about half over...For Tim today is his first of 2 days he has to work this week...He had Monday off for the holiday and took a personal day yesterday to bring his mom and sister to the airport, and he doesn't work Fridays, but yet he was complaining about going to work this morning...:lol:
How was your night Miss Trish? Mine was good, because I go to spend much more of it with my Tim than I would on a normal Tuesday. When we were at the grocery store, I bought those Skinny Cow Bars(the chocolate peanut buter ones) and I of course had to try one last night. It was yummy and they are like 150 calories, which is not bad for an indulgence ;) I don't know who decided Wednesday morning was going to be "Ring Off The Hook Day" here at APR, but who ever it was forgot to inform me about this decision... All morning the phones were going nuts while I was the only one here in the office... now that the dispatch girl is here, they have slowed down greatly... I don't get it...Maybe they actually decided it was "Drive Jenn Nuts Day" :lol: Well unfortunately, I must tend to some work... I'll check in again later on ;) |
I suuuuuuuuuuuuuuure hope my morning isn't 'Ring off the Hook'- LMAO. I hate dealing with our customers- I much prefer inputting orders, do computer crap, and making sure our outer office is running smoothly! Let someone else deal with the cranky old customers!
Last night was good. I had a Slim Fast to kinda 'repent' for my weekend- LOL. So today, I'm back at 154! I think it's funny- I still feel fat at 154, so HOW could I have let myself exist at 165 for sooo long? YKWIM? I can just NOW get into some of my size 14 pants comfortably (the ones that run smaller for some odd reason) and yet I'm not wearing them yet because they aren't as comfy as my size 16s which are becoming too big :P LOL! Well, I've gotta walk the dog and get to work myself. YUCK! |
I can't believe it is only 1:30... This day is dragging...
I totally know what you mean about still feeling fat... what's sad is the fact that I've lost 21.75# and I still feel just as fat...and I still wear the same pants....I'm hoping that when I reach 185 (this summer hopefully) I will be a 12-14 not a 14-16 any more...That will be a 35.5# loss, I'll be depressed if I can't fit into smaller clothes yet... BTW, :bravo: on the 154! I told you'd get back there in no time and look at you already back!! Great job! |
Yep- it's sooo funny that although you've lost a TON of weight, you still feel big! I was telling a coworker I always tease about being too skinny that my goal is 132 and she says, "That's only like 5 pounds more then me!". BUT she's two INCHES taller then me and those two inches allow her to carry more weight then my frame would allow.
Eh :P My work orders out every single day- it wouldn't bother me, but for an hour to two hours, all they do is look at menus and try to decide what to eat. Not work, mind you, but look at menus and debate the various merits of different food places. GRRR. |
Yay Jenn on ONEderland!!! You are doing so well!! :cp:
Yay Trish on getting back on track so quickly!! :bravo: I have been on and off the wagon all week. I don't know what's going on. I'm great for calories so far today, but had to be at the hospital so I missed my exercise class. I have a meeting tonight so I can't squeeze anything in until tomorrow. It has been raining SO MUCH lately! Walking outside hasn't been an option lately, but hopefully it'll get nicer. I finally got another pair of pants in my current size. Not counting scrubs, I now have 3 pairs of pants that fit me. I didn't want to buy another larger pair, but needed something else to wear to work. I did get a surprise compliment, though - I asked at work if the pants look okay (I was worried that they were too tight). My co-worker said that she thought the pants might be a little too big on me. :) It never hurts to hear that! I am really going to try to stay focused and get back on track. I'll try really hard to get back here more often, too. Jess |
Got to love when people don't do anything but think of food... It's got to make it harder for you to keep food out of your mind, not to mention aggravate you to high Heavens since they aren't doing anything.
Thanks Jess! Don't compliments like that just make your day? I love it...Today at the gym, Leanne (the girl who works there, that I love) told me that my pants were hanging off me...I don't see it, but it made me feel good anyways :lol: I bet working the hours you do must make this weight-loss harder for you...Best of luck sticking to your plan!! |
Hi Jess and Jenn!
Aren't scrubs sooo comfortable? I used to wear mine 3 times too big since they are just soo comfy! Congrats on the compliment- I bet that made your day! Me, I'm on my way to conquering 152. It's my goal of the week! 152 is sooo near the 140s, I want it, I want it, I want it!!! Hehehehehe! |
Keep it up and I'm sure you will get it! I think it would be cool if I oculd accomplish my 'Canada Challenge' goal like next week! We'll see...TOM is going to raise it's ugly head in the next week or two, but I'll keep my fingers crossed:crossed: that it is AFTER my weigh and measure for the month this time :lol:
|
Well, the two little 'workout' buddies were sitting out here talking about how they're 'taking a break for the week'.
Anyhoo- it just irritates me :P You can't take weekly breaks or you'll NEVER get anywhere! |
Well you can laugh in their faces when you lose and they don't, and when they try to act like they are serious about losing weight... A day is one thing, but week long breaks? You are supposed to change your way of life... They just don't get it at all, do they?
|
No, and I don't know why it bugs the **** out of me! :P
Anyways, I had my Mac n Cheese and it was really good. I really like Budget Lean Gourmets for lunch- and they are only $1 a piece usually! Well, I'm going home for lunch. Don't want to. It's about 110 degrees outside. |
Good morning and Happy Friday!!! (I was starting to think this week would never end :lol:)
I got an early start today and got weighed and measured so I wouldn't have to do it during TOM...Since March I have officially lost 22.5# and 16.75" :cb: Now I am in a good mood to start the day! I lost 9.25" this month which is more than I lost in March & April combined....At least I know it's getting me some where ;) I think I may just reach my Canada Day Challenge weight next week if I can keep TOM gain from getting me! :lol: I hope you are having a great morning! :goodvibes |
What a great start to a Friday! Well, last night, we went out for dinner. I really need to get OUT of that habit :P So I'll have to work twice as hard this weekend to see 152! Otherwise, I'm here. I meant to stay home since my allergies are killing me, but it didn't happen :( I felt too guilty to waste a day at home!
|
Oh you poor thing! Allergies suck... all that pressure in your face, bah :p I hope you feel better for the weekend so you can get to 152#! It's hard to stay motivated when you feel like crap, but you are soo close...try hard to workout!
|
Working out hasn't been my downfall- it's STILL food. Though I eat MUCH less then I used to- even when we eat out, I'm not AS LIKELY to clean my plate anymore. Yesterday, I had portobello mushrooms and steak (with veggies) and alongside it was beans and rice. I only had a bite of the beans, then the steak and veggies. Normally, I'd try to cram it all in AND eat my daughter's meal!
|
Good job! It is one of the thing I hear a lot is that women have trouble with losing weight after they have kids because they share their kids' meals and snacks and don't think about counting those calories... So you are doing really well! ;)
|
Hi all!
I am SO glad it's the weekend! I wanted to get up and go to my workout class this AM, but I was at the hospital in the middle of the night, so I was exhausted this morning. I have a TON of things to accomplish around the house, so I'll try to do those as energetically as possible. I did GREAT on Thursday and just okay yesterday. I should have gone to bed earlier, then I got really hungry around 10pm so I snacked some. Oh well. I'm sure I didn't go over 2200, but I'll bet I wasn't much under. I weighed myself at the hospital, and I'm about what I was before, but since I pigged out for a week I can't complain - at least I didn't lose too much ground. I've decided to help take my mind off of TTC I'm going to plan non-pregnancy projects so I can focus on something else. There is a dresser I want to refinish, and those chemicals are not safe in pregnancy, so if my period starts I can go ahead and refinish it without worry. We'll see in a couple weeks... Hope you have GREAT weekends!! Jessica |
Hi Jess and Jenn :)
Well, this week, I'm going to concentrate on eating right. I'm realizing that exercising isn't that difficult for me, but eating right has become a challenge. Right now, my weight is yo-yoing around 154-156 and that's really demotivating me. YET I know the cause- it has to do with everything I put in my mouth. I'm a chronic eater and although I'm eating much LESS, if I ever want to see 132, I have to start eating not only less, but BETTER (ie nutritional food versus just less calories). BIG SIGH. Eh, but if we all hang in here together, we'll all see our goals. That's what I love about having you gals- I can't quit because I want to see us ALL reach our goals together! |
Mornin, Sunshines!
Well, my weight is UP once again, but I'm not going to despair! I'm going to use Jenn as my inspiration and go to the store today and buy a GOOD breakfast (normally don't eat breakfast) and buy veggies for my snacks. I'm going to see 150 by the end of this month! My allergies kept me down this weekend, but I still worked out. My eyes were so puffed out on Friday I wore sunglasses all day at work and then Saturday, they were the same. The inflammation has went down, but now my skin is all dried out and disgusting. *BIG SIGH* Well, I've got an appointment with the doctor today so hopefully she'll help out a bit. My Allied Health Math class (I'm in college, btw LOL!) started today. It's via the internet so shouldn't be too bad. Just haven't received my financial aid for my book yet :P What's up, sugars? |
Oh goodness does it feel like ages since I've been on here... I was busy all weekend... Friday night we drove up to Nashua and I got a digital camera... Saturday was shopping, bringing Lee-Anne a card at the gym, going to my aunt's for a quick birthday party, then off to Boston for Margaret Cho (who btw has lost a lost of weight herself)... Sunday was laundry, quick mall trip before the sale ended, and then Tim took pictures of me to send in to the Lane Bryant thing... I totally don't expect anything to come of it, but $100 gift certificate would be cool ;)... That brings us to today, I had a psychologist appointment this morning and then work was busy all day long...
I am now finally taking a breather for myself...I just got back from the gym and I'm about to hope in the shower, but I had to make time for you ladies first. I hope y'all are doing good on this Monday afternoon! :goodvibes |
This is going to be an off week for me :S I have a lot going on with starting class and going camping this weekend! Anyways, wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing today :) I did NOT work out last night- ended up grocery shopping and bringing home a baby kitten- hah :)
|
You got a kitten?!? I am sooooo jealous!!!! I wish Tim would let me have a kitten....it's not fair... I miss my kitty.... :^: Actually Tim said he will let me have one, but his landlord doesn't really like pets :(
Anywho, I hope you enjoy your "off week", because we will make you get back on track next week ;) As for me... I hit my July 1st goal today! That's 23 days ahead of schedule and with TOM due tomorrow! I am very pleased! :D |
