Wednesday Night Sign Off!
 

Well ladies I am off tomorrow to Chicago with my family. We are going to see Wicked Thursday night - I am soooo excited! Then Friday, DD will begin her forum at 9:00 and DH and I will meet up with friends for lunch and a day in Chicago. I am not sure how much internet access I will have so I may not be able to post reguarly until Sunday evening. Will try my best even if I have to go to an internet cafe.

Kudos go to . . .

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

Hi everyone! Sorry I'm hardly here. Sorry about all the sad losses many of you have had. I feel lucky that so far mostly only older relatives have been passing on. I don't look forward to my parents and anyone else going. Hope your days are brighter this year.

Looks like you are all staying very active and that's so cool! Me too! This is the 7th day I'll hit my 10,000 steps (or about 4.5 miles). (So if we consider Monday, day 1, then I'm on day 4, so far so good!) I walk about 6000 in the morning at once and finish the rest out all day long. So far so good, lost a couple pounds this week. Can't wait to get back in Onederland.. I hope to never leave it either! Have a great week! :wave:

PS Get this.. I might be starting on Monday getting up at 4:45 am and going to the gym til 6:25 am so that I can be back when my DH leaves for work. LOL. I have to do something and I'm not taking two toddlers and two babies to the gym every day! (two go to school) Soooo, wish me good determination, I'll need it. I bought a size 14 dress to wear at Easter, $60 reg., but it was a great sale at Torrid, lol, got it for $10.00.. hee hee. Love that. Actually I got 274.00 worth of cute clothes sizes 18 to 14 for 51.00. :D Ok, gotta go! bye!!

:grouphug: Carla, just wanted ya to know that we'll be here waiting for you and can't wait till you get back to being able to post every day.

mscat, oooh it sounds like you're gonna have a wonderful time - I can tell how excited you are. :)

Thank you for the kudos [you sure do know how to make a gal feel good! :)]

We're going to miss you but will see ya [oops - I mean "talk" to ya :lol: when ya get home. :)]

Have a good time and a safe trip!

I hate to sound stupid but ... what is Onederland? :lol: I've seen it on several posts but have no idea what is meant by it? Just curious. :dizzy: :o

Wow Bonnie ... it sounds like you're doing really well. You've got the exercise part down and as for the calories ... you were close on those too! Keep up the good work!! :cheer: :cheer:

Selena, that is awesome that you are on your 7th day of 10,000 steps! :bravo: :cp:

Keep up what you've been doing [you CAN do it!!] :) And, I can't say as I blame you for not taking 2 toddlers and 2 babies to the gym ... I don't think that'd work out too good anyways. :lol:

You got a wonderful deal on your clothes! I need new clothes so bad but am determined NOT to buy any until I lose more weight.

And when I say I need new clothes - trust me, I kid you not. *lol*

All I have is shorts, t-shirts and one pair of sweat pants ... that's it. No old jeans, no dress clothes - what I listed is all I have to wear.

I know I need some but that'll come when I get down to where I either "have" to buy them 'cuz everything else is too big to wear - or it'll be when I lose all of my weight and I "want" to buy them 'cuz they're smaller and cute. :lol:

Got my goals done for today but just now posting it.

1. Walked down 25 flights of stairs.

2. Drank 5 cups of water

Hope you're all having a good day [evening] ... See ya tomorrow! :)

Love,

Debi

Onederland is weight in the hundreds. As in 199.9 (this morning's weigh-in...). The bag of sickeningly sweet cookies I had for dinner will push me back out of onederland, I'm afraid. Right now is a bit of an off period for me. No patience, flying off the handle for no reason, anxiety attacks... I'd probably do so much better if I went back to eating veg and protein, and skipped the caffeine and cookies and wine. So tomorrow I intend to get some extra exercise and eat well and get off my pity party and do that onederful onederland thing forever.

I'm still not up for individual messages. Sorry. :shrug: Soon life will get back to normal, I'll stop sulking, and become my incredibly witty self again.

Hello ladies :)

Here I am on Friday evening, devastated after stepping on the scale (144...)... :(

Here is how I'm doing on my Weekly Challenge:
- bed before 9:30 pm --> Mon & Tue okay, Wed & Thur went to bed much later
- 1.5 liters of water before 6 pm --> missed on Wednesday, other days ok
- no food after 7 pm --> missed 1 day

It's a bit touch for me here right now. I'm staying in someone else's house in a small village, so no gym and less control over what and when I eat. It's very hard to get exercise - cold, rainy, windy weather do not make it any easier. All I can do is walks, but my boyfriend is not always in the mood, and I don't want to go by myself. I'm working on my determination, want to make myself skip rope in the garage. And perhaps I'll borrow someone's bike and try to go riding in those hills around here.

Talk to you all later :)

Sushi

Carla, thanks so much for filling me in on what onederland is [sheesh do I ever feel silly now. :lol: I should have known it was something I should have figured out. :rollpin: :lol:]

Anyways - good for you for being in the 100's now. Way to go! :) :cb:

Sushi, it sounds to me like you're doing very well ... especially with not being in your own home and with so much going on.

Don't give up and you'll get fully back on track soon, I'm sure of it! :) :grouphug:

Bonnie, you are too funny [red 'n white paint for the game, huh? :lol:]

I guess I'd miss you anyways 'cuz the only games I ever turn on are the pro games. :lol: :lol:

I know what ya mean about if you just hadn't eaten those calories that you would have been down some more on the scales.

I've done really well with water and exercising and keeping those goals but then this week I ate more sweets than I should have.

One good thing about it though is that they were fat-free [low cal] puddings and instead of ice cream, I bought fat free cool-whip and put between graham crackers for an ice cream sandwich.

The problem though? They are too good and I ate even though I wasn't hungry a few times. :o :rollpin: :rollpin:

Have fun at the game tomorrow!

As for myself -- I completed my challenges for today with both water and exercise.

My granddaughter come down tonight to stay with me and she'll be here till Sunday evening so when I post tomorrow and Sunday, it'll probably just be short ones till she goes home.

Have a good night 'n we'll see you all sometime tomorrow. :)

Love,

Debi

Hi Friends :)

Quick post for tonight just to make note that I completed both of my challenges today.

Bonnie, I hope that your knees are feeling better by now. And, good for you with getting to your water class this morning. :cp: :cp:

I'm having fun with Lacey here but she'll be going home tomorrow. :(

Talk to you all soon!

Love,

Debi

Good Morning! :)

Up early this morning so Lacey could go to church.

I've got both of my challenges done for the day already [Yippee!] And, it's not even noon yet. :lol: :cb:

Have a good day everybody!

Love,

Debi

I love this idea to pick 1 goal to commit to for 7 days.... I am so grateful to have found this site. I want to say thanks to all of you. I will commit to reducing carbs in my diet this week.

Hi Ladies!

Finally starting to feel better.

Last week I was horrible with the water goal of 8 glasses/daily.
I did manage to do the 4 days of walking though.

I am off to a bad start for this week, but I ill turn it around tomorrow.

Take Care!
