Hello! It's me again!! I just found this web site that is pretty cool. www.calorie-count.com It gives nutritional info on all sorts of food plus you can figure up how many calories you need each day based on your activity level.
Can't stay, just trying to distract myself from the cookies a colleague brought to work. Will have to eat my protein bar a little earlier than usual this afternoon, I think.....
Good morning everybody, hope your week is going well!! I had an interesting day at work yesterday, I went out with one of our drivers to pump out some yucky greas/oil. It was like sludge, and took a long time to fill the truck up. We got the truck stuck and the material wasn't what we were told we were getting, it was a real eye opener and a good learning experience. It's hard to talk to customers about what they want us to get rid of for them, I don't know if they just plain out lie or just don't know. But when they don't give us the correct info on the material we can't send the right equipment. Ok, sorry to bore you. I made choclate mosse (I'm expecting my monthly soon) so I want to be ready when that craving hits! I have sooo much to get done this week, needles to say I didn't get much done over the weekend so now I'm busting butt to try to get the dust under control. Last night was animal night, two cat litters cleaned and a hamster cage. I also folded 10 loads of laundry, I had no idea boys could go through so many clothes. Ok, I had a boring day yesterday and the rest of the week is looking to be about the same excitment level. I did work out and ate good so I'm still working! I'm going to get my shower and head to work since I don't have anything exciting to tell you guys!!!
My Monmday was the pits lets say that I worked from 3 am to 9 pm. and Was woken by the dog at 4:30 this am. I will say that I did work out this morning. I have about 3 more 12 hour shifts to do this week if I am lucky I can bow out of one of the management days, HHHMMM I am trying to figure out which one and really can not see any of them that it is possible.I guess i will be sleeping all sat. (have to do a night shift then and a swim meet on sunday about 1.5 hours drive away.)
I have been OP mostly for my diet but I can not promise to stay that way. (Except for the pizza on sunday but I did limit my self)
Way to go all you loosers!! It sure takes dedication and hard work. One day I will be joining you with weight loss!! for now I jumped on the scale and it did not budge. I can live with that as long as it is not going up!!!
Hey I'm getting lonely!!! Where is everybody??? Somebody brought in a Fat-Tuesday cake!! All that icing almost made me sick looking at it! I wonder if that's a good thing? I have to keep telling everybody I'm trying to lose 10 lbs before I go to the Dr., they keep bringing food and want you to eat, eat, eat! Mentioning the diet is the only thing that keeps them from force feeding ya!
Sue you poor thing, nothing makes me feel worse than no sleep! Hang in there, and I'm glad you maintained (it's a step in the right direction!)
Trying to stay centered in during a frantic week at work. We have a campaign in response to the proposed federal budget cuts, and our board of directors is meeting this weekend, so everyone is busy, tired and testy....just the type of situation that makes me want to eat sweet and/or crunchy food non-stop. I am feeling "hungry" lately, but I know it's not my stomach, so I'm pounding down water and decaf tea, and heading home for dinner soon.
It's that time of the month, so I'm allowing myself some foods that aren't on my plan (a cup of chili, some sweet potato gumbo) as a way of appeasing myself without doing too much damage. I did make it to the gym yesterday, and the weather is nice right now, so I've been able to get a little walking in before and after work. But I had to see the podiatrist yestercay, and now I'm wearing a special pad on my foot to soothe a neuroma or something. But I'm walking anyway, it's not so bad.
And regarding life not being exciting enough to post: Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it!
If I go missing--check the police blotter!!! I am ready to kill my business partner! Lets just say that I am a bit conservative and he is .....well.....not!
I love the guy dearly-but I still wanna kill!!! (This business partner that makes me crazy also happens to be a Baptist minister and a professional Mime!)
I just dropped the munchkin off for a bball game, so I will get on the cross-country skier and get some calories burnt off!
Good morning gang!
It's Wed. and the week is slowly dragging on. I feel like a dork, I forgot about the time zone difference when I posted yesterday wanting to know where everybody was. I am sooo glad I made those choclate bars, the monthly thing hit today so I know I'll be craving the choclate! I will be interested to see if the cramps are any better since I have been working out now for three weeks. I hope the bloat thing don't hang around too long, I really get this bad! We have fog issues this morning so I'm going to have to give myself some extra time to get to work this morning.
Judy, I'll try not to wish for too much excitment ! You know how the blah from the same day to day routine gets too you! I hope your foot gets better, I twisted my ankle on the icy porch a couple of weeks ago man was that bad. It's better now but I looked pretty silly limping around!
Joetta, how does someone get into being a professional mime? I can see the head lines now "Woman snaps and kills the mime minister"
Ok, I'm going to jump in the shower and get to work!!! C'mon I want to hear how everybody else is doing!!!!
Good morning everyone! Well yesterday was a total waste of a day. I was off and didn't manage to get anything done but go to Curves, go to the tanning bed (gotta be tan before this trip, plus cellulite looks better tan) and make it to my first WW meeting. We did go vistit my friend with the new baby last night but before we went there my DH wanted to try this new hamburger joint. OH MY GOSH!!! I could blow my weight loss all to heck at that place. They have the BEST burgers and homemade fries. I didn't feel too guilty cause that is about all I ate yesterday. I did leave there feeling so stuffed I thought I would be sick.
Today it will be my plan 100%. There is just something about going to WW and getting on those scales just to see that it went up instead of down. Next Monday is my 4 weeks at Curves so I get to do my measurements again to see how many inches I have lost. I can tell in my clothes that I have lost some. The other night I put these jeans on and my DH said that he could tell that I was losing because those jeans use to be tight. I told him he better watch out cause soon I would be too sexy for him!! I'm also noticing that my boobs are getting a little smaller. I think that I will go to Victoria's Secret this weekend to buy some new bras. I have stretched all of my others out quite a bit.
Well ladies, I better get off this darn computer and get something done today before I have to go to work.
Hi everyone, sorry it's been a few days since I posted but life has been busy and I haven't been all that good. Not too bad food wise, but I did eat more than I should have. I noticed it is so easy to slip off calorie counting and I decided to stay off. No counting anything anymore. I am going to have small portions of whatever meal is being made. I've lost weight this way before and it's something I can do for the rest of my life. It just blows me away how fast I could fail when counting calories so that's what sparked the change.
Tonight is exercise night and I'm looking forward to it. I haven't been in the mood to exercise, but today I am. I just hope I still will be when I get home tonight. By evening I'm so exhausted from work that I just want to vegetate.
Well, back to work. I just wanted to check in. BTW, Jenn and Lori great going on the weight loss. You're doing it right!
Marie
I've been so overwhelmed lately and I have gotten off track. I think I almost gained a pound back but I am back at it again and feeling a bit better about things. It was hard with my in-laws here for FIVE days!
I am also super-duper stressed! My job is pt/temp and was supposed to go ft/perm, well it is not looking good. Hence, I am on the job hunt and thinking about possible relocation. I have a DH that is right smack in the middle of his BFA. I honestly can't believe it is all coming down to this.
Of course all of this makes me want to eat. I really wanted to make some brownies or chocolate cake. But I have resisted and just had a few chocolate chip cookies - the mini Famous Amos. That's my only treat.
So that's what is up with me. Sorry I'm not keeping up better. It is just a hard time right now. I am really trying to stay on my diet and lose lose lose. God knows it's one of the few things that has made me feel better about myself lately. The easier I fit in that interview suit the better!
It sounds like I am not alone on the chocolate temptations around here either! And that makes me feel less alone.
Another long day at work. I am tired. and well it was less stresses full as the boss was not there. and dress down day. I do have several clods working for me. OMG why do they do such stupid things????
Enough of that. I am OP sort of. I did not get breakfast so I ate 2 pieces of choc one of my discharges brought to me. I do not have time to see the gym yet this week except for yesterday morning. water is still such a task soon though it will be second nature.
Hey all,
Sounds like a tough week all the way around for the gang.
This is where the rubber meets the road--
We have been dealing with butt-head employers, employees, customers, partners, restaurants that make great burgers, hormones that cause bloating, and last but far from least---IN LAWS FOR 5 DAYS!!!
We shall overcome!!!!
I'm quite certain that someone superglued my scale--but I am determined to beat this thing!
Kerry, I would have lost weight if my in-laws had been here for 5 days! The blood flowing from the slits in my wrists would have that scale moving downward quickly!
