and me :cp: I haven't gotten my 10 minutes in yet - there is still time - but I had 96 oz plus of water! Sushi - I ran all day to the toilet but I said I had a "bladder in training" :)

See ya in the a.m.
mscat-
All that we have is right now.
Yesterday is gone, Tomorrow is not promised, and Someday is not a day of the week!

Wednesday - Walked 55 minutes and 60 oz of water. Breakfast at 8:15 -- 1/2 c yogurt, 1/2 blueberries, 1/2 c milk and honey.

Will be a challenge to get my water in today as I'm off to work and don't drink while I'm there -- so will try for at least 48 oz from 3 o'clock to bedtime.

Everyone have a great Thursday -- Bev

mscat, I think my bladder can hold more now that I've been drinking so much, I can usually get through 2, 18oz cups before I have to go. So, keep it up and hopefully we won't have to run to the bathroom every few minutes! But, it's worth it!!

Bev, Hope you got your water intake in for the day!

Bonnie, congrats on dropping a pound!! That is awesome! I can't wait till I'm 191. Enjoy your mountain trip. I'm sorry to hear about your family crisis, hoping everything is okay now. 1700 is not too bad, you definitely kept it under control. Good luck!


I realized I haven't been eating enough lately, this worries me, because I don't want to fall into an unhealthy eating pattern, I only had 740 calories yesterday which isn't near enough. But I just wasn't hungry! So, it's not like I'm trying not to eat, I just eat like yogurt for breakfast and something like eggs with cheese and (veggie) sausage for lunch and probably the same for dinner. I guess I need to incorporate some snacks in throughout the day even though I'm not hungry. My doctor told me it's okay if I stick between 1000-1200 calories. So, my goal for the rest of the week is to make sure I'm eating at least 1000 calories.

I'm sorry that I didn't report on Wednesday. We had a busy evening last night. I met my water goal and my exercise goal. Unfortunately, I had a small bit of pop for lunch. I'm not going to let it bring me down or put me on a backslide. I will get my water and no pop in today but I'm taking a break from the exercise.
I'm glad to hear that you all are doing so well.

Bev, if you're going to drink that much between 3 and bedtime, make sure you have a clear path to the bathroom for the midnight visit!

Carla (I'll report later, having achieved nothing so far today.)

And here's my later report! Drank lots of water, at least 8 cups. Also 35 min on the elliptical, which I think I may like. I can't wait to get home tomorrow! My own bed, my own stuff, and very soon, my own kitties.

Thursday Nighty Night
 

Missed on Wednesday -
Bev :cp:
squiggly :cp: You'll be back on the pop wagon in no time!

Thursday Dream Makers-
Bonnie :woo: another pound down! Have a wonderful time in the mountains.
carla :cp: awesome effort! Have a safe trip home!
me :cp: drank 96 oz of water (bladder is starting to hold better) and taught a 90 minute belly dancing class :faint:

haleys - it's good that you are working to keep your calories up. Hang in there.

Have a good night ladies!

Didn't work out today and I'm going out of town starting tomorrow, so I'll do my 4th day of the workout Sunday. Maybe I'll make it a longer workout because I'm only getting 4 days of exercise in this week instead of the 5 I had set to do.

At least I drank all my water and ate a little over 1300 calories, a little higher than I'd like, but better than 740.

Thanks for all the support!

Thursday - walked 35 minutes. Had breakfast at 6:45 - oatmeal, milk, honey and raisens. Didn't do very well on the water - only 48 oz. Am home early today so am doing a bit better. And yes haleys, I do need a good clear path to the bathroom about twice during the night. I definitely have a "bladder in training" as MsCat says. And I don't think it's getting any better. But this is the first summer that I have not had a problem with my legs and feet swelling and I'm sure it's the water ... so I'll gladly make the bathroom trips.

Carla - welcome home

Haleys & Bonnie - have safe trips

Off to drink some more water ... Bev

Yesterday, I had no pop but got my water in and kept my calories at 1200. They were a little low. TOday, I had a pop but I'm still getting my water in and I got 25 minutes in on my elliptical. I weighed in at 252 again. I lost my weight that I gained last week. I'm so proud of that. I am hoping to lose three pounds this coming week. I will post some new strict goals this week. I am going to lose this weight no matter what.

Bev, I can't imagine exposing my jelly belly for dancing. You're a very brave woman.

Mscat, good luck witht he bladder. Personally I think it's never a good idea to overfill the bladder, but I think on that one I'm a voice crying in the wilderness.

Haleys, do try to eat enough. You need the nutrients, and you'll still lose weight.

Today is one of those days that shouldn't count. For lunch I had a wonderful (large) steak with a mountain of shoestring fries, an overdressed salad, and two glasses of lovely wine. Every bite was worth the calories, although half the fries would have been enough. The day ain't over, and I've got plenty of sinnin' to do before I sleep...

Tomorrow: back on track.

Carla

Carla -- not Bev doing the belly dancing!!! Girl, I haven't exposed this belly since before I had my daughter ... and she's 44 years old! I finally got brave enough to buy some sleevess shirts, and that was only to help keep my nice Hawaiian tan. I always have such a "farmer" tan in the summer and my tan is nice and even this year. MsCat teaches belly dancing classes. I do think it would be fun and guess I'd do it if it was a class of "regular" people and not just teeny-tiny skinny folks. Bet it is great exercise.

Might as well report for the day as long as I'm here -

Friday - walked 40 minutes, and ate breakfast at 7:00. Made some muesli last night (oatmeal, milk, orange juice, dried fruit, & honey with a little bit of cinnamon - refrigerated overnight). Only 12 pts for the batch and ate 1/4 of it and it was very good. And I'm drinking my 5th - 12 oz glass of water today so will have 60 oz for sure. That's about what I aim for everyday.

Well, we've made it to the week-end. Plan is for a nice long walk tomorrow morning - I love walking when I don't have to hurry to get ready for work.

Have a good evening -- Bev
