Hi Everyone, I am back,
I had a nice vist with my Grandma. I saw some of my other relatives. I did eat a lot but I don't think I did to much damage. Luckily, my grandma eats very small portions herself so I didn't want to feel to much like a pig and take tons of food. She made a pund cake but also had lots of fresh fruit so it was OK.
I got in one jog while I was gone and we went swimming buy it wasn't really excersie swimming, more like playing around and laying out.
I decided to get right back on track. counted all my points yesterday, and decided to go for a jog outside. OMG, it was so hot even at 7PM, it felt like it was still 90 degrees. I only lasted for 30 minutes and I was dripping sweat and my throat was so dry I could hardly swallow. This morning, I wanted to get inmy workout before it got to hot so I got up early and did my step tape at home. I still was dripping and so hot but at least its done.
So I am back on the losing side of things. I didn't want to weigh myself and get discurouged, I will wait until my WI on sunday.
I need to go and get some :coffee:
I still need to catch up on all the post. Hope every one had a good weekend. Glad to see some new posters.

Good Morning Partners !

Well I did a stupid thing today.. I gained on my WI :tantrum: I think I can put it down to eating too many things this week that I could not figure the points out for... let that be a lesson to me !

AMANDA ~ welcome to the gang !! I am sure that you will love it here, this is one supportive group of ladies.

HOTCUP ~ hope you are feeling better today and got your fluids up.

LISA ~ great job on your loss :cp: I also use WW online and I love it, definately helps keep me on track.

JENNIE ~ Welcome back ! Glad that you had a good trip and sounds like you are back in the swing of things.

I am at home studying today... I will be so glad when tomorrow night is done with. So I am off to enjoy a :coffee: and hit the books.

Have a great day Partners and TTYS !!

I once was lost....
 

:o Jost Popping in to say HELLO. I did not forget everyone. It has been a made house; sent the cat to heaven, grandma had a knee replacement (2nd leg), and her and grandpa are living with my parents...Zoiks!! Too many hens in the hen house. Then grandpa fell down and is all bruised up and not looking so good. His prosthetic leg is too heavy for him now as he has lost so much weight...so there has been no time.

I am exercising religiously every day. either 20 minutes RS Blast Off, or the 40 minutes Mexa-Mix Blast Off (with the toning).

I just signed up today to use the exercise equipment here at work starting tomorrow. New treadmills, ellipticals, 3 different kinds of bikes, exercise tapes, Exercise balls with tapes, pilates.

Tomorrow I am going to do 20 minutes treadmill and 20 minutes elliptical. It is like 102 here in Wisconsin where I love and MUGGY :( No outside for me.

I am holding strong. Totally since the beginning of June I have gone from 56 inches around my waist to 48 inches around my waist. I must be doing something right!!

Howdy to all you PIC Divas. I am reading and trying to catch up. Sounds like everyone is hanging in there and doing great.

(exercise is good for the aggression...between my mom running herself ragged and my grandma shouting orders and trying to clean out the basement of my own house) it is crazy!!!

TTYS soon. Love & Hugs, L2L

Still pretty quiet around here. Tomorrow I leave for my camping trip. Getting worried I can't fit everything in the car so I got a cargo thing for on top of the car. Not one of those big turtle looking ones though. I have some last minute grocery shopping to do tomorrow, pack the cooler and get the car organized and then I think I'm ready. I'm really excited. Hope the weather is good.

Went to the dentist tonight and had almost no tartar on my teeth. Another benefit of not eating refined sugar! Unfortunately, one of my old fillings is falling out and I have to have it replaced but that is what happens as we get older.

Had problems with my eating again today but I guess it is because I'm on vacation and my routine was disrupted. I didn't make my protein minimum for the day but I did keep my carbs under control. I really have to stay on top of this. I don't know why I'm having such a hard time all of a sudden. I'm not making bad choices but just not getting things in the right proportions or something.

Not sure if I'll have a chance to check in before I leave tomorrow. If not, I'll talk to you when I get back. Have a good week everyone.

I went tto the endocrinologist today and he was happy with my progress... my blood pressure dropped 20 points on the top and the bottom !!! I was borderline high before ,,, walked tonight and went to the gym!

sounds like everyone is doing well... way to go!!



Petra: i am so jealous... hope u have a wonderful time!!!

Another quick one
 

Petra: Bon Voyage, enjoy

Curlylocks: Way to go on lowering your numbers and working out.

I lost one pound at TOPS. And although I worked out like a fiend this morning (which I probably shouldn't have) I'm beat tonight. I guess I'm still feeling the after effects of my heat exhaustion/traffic fiasco :headache: . I'm going to bed early. I'll try to address you all individually from work tomorrow evening.

Oooh... gotta change my siggy first.. woo hoo... one pound! Yeah, I'm being sarcastic. :rolleyes:

Well ladies I had a salad for lunch today that made me feel sick. :barf: I still came home and did my 2 mile WATP. I wanted to do more but felt like I should take it a little easy today.


Rasberry - Welcome to the group. Glad to have you here :high: If I was you I would probably try to get some kind of protein on board in the morning, maybe try low fat or fat free cottage cheese with your fruit. I bet you will feel better. Especially on the days you go to curves you need protein. I go as well and bought their shake for the mornings when I just don't feel like eating.

Curly - Great job on the blood pressure and getting in your exercise. :strong:

Petra - I hope you have a wonderful time on your trip. :D I look forward to hearing all about it when you get home.

Lookin - Glad you signed up for the gym at work. Exercise is less boring when you have alot to choose from. :lol: 8inches in your waist. Girl You Rock. I am so proud of you. Bet your Lookin Good. ;)

Clip - Sorry about the gain but you will get it next time. You have been pretty busy as of late. Keep up all your efforts they will pay off. :smug:

Jennie - So glad you had a nice visit. I know what you mean about the weather. I live in CA and it's getting pretty hot early. :dizzy:

Lisa - Once again great job on the loss. :cp: :cb: You are doing so well and I can tell by your posts that you are feeling GREAT!!!!!

Hotcup - Glad you have the good sense to chug-a-lug that water. Stay cool my friend. :cool:

TTYL!!

Hotcup - You snuck in on me. 1 pound gone forever and ever. :cheer: You should be proud of yourself. Look at what you have been through lately and you made a come back. I personally think you ROCK!!!!!

yep i have to agree.. u have to have that protein! it fuels u up and keeps away the hungries!

Howdy All,
I didn't get time to check in with you all last night. My stepson came over to show us his new mini van. LOL They have been looking at cars for 2 months and finally decided on a mini van. I told them they made a good choice with 2 growing girls. I did a walk/jog last night. I probably only jogged 1/3 of the way but I did work up a healthy sweat. LOL Tonight I am hoping to go to the gym. :-)

Jennie: Glad you are back. Good for you for getting back on track! Skinny vibes for your weigh in on Sunday.

Clipclop: I have trouble figuring out some of the points for things too. Last night we had kabobs. WW says 8 points for 2 skewers. I fill mine up with veggies instead of meat so I ended up counting as 5. I only had 1 with meat and the other one 1/2 skewer of just veggies. Tuna salad is another thing... I can't remember what WW said but it was really really high..so I counted all the ingredients and guessed but my tuna came out to about 5 points. Sometimes it is a big guess but I tend to try to guess high than low. I am having trouble eating all my points. I end up short each day.

Lookin2lose: Hopefully things will settle down at your house. Sorry to hear about your kitty. WOW! on your waist measurements. I really need to do my measurements. I bought a new swim suit and it was one size smaller than my last one. It fits me well.

Petra: Have a great time. We are going on a small vacation next month. Sort of like camping but without the leaky tent. We are staying in cabins but it will be like camping because we have to go to the community bathroom. LOL Oh, no tv. LOL but we are going horseback riding..it comes with the cabin. Have a great time. I have decided to download Mallissa's Kids Worship CD to listen to at the Y while exercising. It is so upbeat and uplifting. All the songs you listen to at church with a rock beat to it. Nice CD.

Curlylocks: Great on the BP. Mine will show up high when I am at the doc if I am stressed about it and other times will show up low. LOL Good for you walk and going to the gym.

Amanda: Welcome to our world. Post often. Some days it is a mad house on this thread nad some days it is slower... but we all want to hear how everyone is doing.

Hotcup: Yea on the 1 pound. IT will come off...but like everyone else..we all want it to happen yesterday! Keep up the good work.

Momx3: I have to add ham and cheese or tuna to my salad... or eat something with it or I can get sick to my tummy. The veggies are not enough.LOL Glad you are back with us.

Ok..were is everyone else? Angeleyes? Who am I missing? LOL Hope everyone has a great day!
Hugs and Blessings:

Hi Everyone,
another day at the job....
Yesterday after work, it was so hot, my son and i went to the pool. From 5-6 they rope off part for lap swim. so I swam a few laps, 8 but they are short and man was it hard, my lungs were burning, but I think I am going to try and do that again today. I don't think its really enough to be a work out but at least I can feel it a little. After that I played around with my son in the shallow. He finally started going under water and trying to swim, its funny because, he goes under and floats, and moves his arms and legs like a frog but goes no where. I'm glad he is not scared of the water anymore it makes it easier to hang out at the pool for a long time.

I'm gonna try and squeeze in the gym today somehwere.

Lisa, jogging is the ultimate sweat machine. I always like the jogging feeling and I'm building stamina, I used to feel tortured when I would try and jog. I'm doing the alternating jog and walk that the couch to 5K suggests. Keep up the work.

Mom, yeah, your tape is getting to easy, that means you are building up your stamina!!! keep it up.

Clipclop, I always underguess points its hard. some of the points WW says I dont' think are correct. Like they say chicken with brocoli and a chinese restraunt is 2 points a cup but then other similar stuff is like 5 or 6, there has to be somethig wrong withthat picture so I ussaully try and figure things out my self but its hard. at least youknow what you did wrong and arn't letting it get you down, keep it up.

Curly, good job on the BP, at my grandma's a lot of my relatives have those little machines to take their BP at home so everynight, we would all sit around and take ours. I bet you are feeling a lot healthier now.

Hot cup, yeah you got to change your sig, that is my favorite thing to do. I can't wait until I lose again....keep up the excersising but listen to your body, you don't want to overdo it.

Raspberrry, I agree, you probably need some protein in your day, your body was probablly running on empty. Mix up your snacks a meals a bit, an figure out what works best for you.

Petra, have fun on your trip. I love camping and want to plan a trip soon. We used to camp so much when I was little(hippie parents) and I jsut found our old tent. If it isn't full of moth holes, I might take it out and try it.

Hi to anyone else I missed, Keep up the good work and stay motivated.

Jennie

Good Morning Chicks !

The countdown is on...14 hours and SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER !!! Sorry... did I sound a little bit excited :crazy:

Hubby just made me my morning :coffee: so just checking in, then will do one last review of the notes this morning and then I am hitting the couch for the afternoon.

JENNIE ~ good job on the swimming. It may not seem like a lot but at least you are moving

LISA ~ I am glad that I am not the only one with troubles figuring out these crazy points. I am sure there is some science to it, I just need to figure it out.. or maybe I just need to think twice before I eat something that I don't know the nutritional information for.

MOM ~ hope you are feeling better today. Not good when a salad makes you feel sick.

HOTCUP ~ is back and is on :flame: 1 lb gone gone gone.. YAHOO !

RASPBERRY ~ no advice from me, I think the girls hit it on the head.. more protein in the am will help you !

PETRA ~ i have probably missed you, but enjoy your holiday.

L2L ~ Is that you ?!? I didn't recognize you with that new skinny waist. WAY TO GO GIRL !! so proud of you.. you are kicking butt :bravo:

We seem to be missing a few people....

ANGEL-EYES, ANNIE, DEE, MOON RAY ~ hope all is well with you... come back !!

Okay Partners, hope you have a wonderful day and I will talk to you soon :D

Hi, My name is Dee and I'm a "FOOD-a-HOLIC" .. hi ladies.. I'm back.. the new job is going great.. but unfortunatly since I had it in my head that I was invincible to weight gain, I almost gained all my weight back.. (shame on me).. well it's time to get off my arse (lol) and get back into motion.. I'm sorry for letting all you wonderful people down.. but I'm back on the right mind frame finally.. I cant address each of you personally, because I need to catch up on all the posts.. but hopefully I will be able to print them out and read them today..

so heres my plan
1. I'm going back to low fat low cal
2. gotta get back into excersizing
3. Saturday and Sunday are going to be my cheat day's (yes, DAY'S.. I have to start off slow and get back into it ha ha)


wish me luck..

Hello from work
 

Every time I do this, I leave someone out. So I'm basically just going over the last page or so. Anyone I exclude, it's purely by accident and no intentional "diss" on my part. I gotta give props to all the PIC Chick/Divas! :lol:

Deerod: Welcome back. Don't be too hard on yourself. I'm glad your new job is going well. Good luck. POST MORE! :lol:


ClipClop: I hope you enjoyed riding that couch. Sounds like a nice break

Jennie934: That swimming sounds great. I braved putting a swimsuit on for vacation, but I don't think I could do it around here. I'm still too big. But you did wonderful on the laps and I'm glad DS is enjoying it too

Lisa WY: I round my points up too. I get really confused sometimes. You reminded me that I have that Leslie Walk/Jog I should be doing... thanks a lot! ;)

MomX3: I hope you feel better. Good job working out despite your tummy

RasberryIce: How YOU Doin'? (That's my Joey impression)

Looking2lose: I'm so sorry about your cat. I have one (Elvis) that's either 18 or 19. He's never been sick a day of his life and it's going to kill me when he "goes." He's been a real friend to me all these years. I know how tough it is losing one. Peace to you. Hang in there.

~~Sunshine~~ A hello to you too girl. How's it going?

I know I've missed some of you. But if I go back any further, I'll have a novel written. Just wanted to say toodles to you all. I worked out REALLY hard today and had some radishes out of my garden (mixed in a salad) and so far so good on the rest of the day. I so hope I can keep OP like this. Go Turtle GO! :snail:
