Good afternoon!
So far today has been so-so. I stopped at mcd's for breakfast and had a sausage biscuit (I should have grabbed a slim fast bar or something when I was at walmart instead) I am on my 2nd bottle of water, and I did my workout (only 20 mins, but after a month of being lazy, I'm happy) When I did my shopping I stocked up on fresh veggies to snack on and some FF dressing and bought a pack of sugar free jello cups to combat those sweet cravings. And I have logged my food into fitday, so that my bad choice will stare at me evertime I log on there today, LOL.

nett, thanks for the encouragement ! and Congrats on quitting smoking!!

Cindy: Hmmm Body by barney, LOL. Could be catchy... I must confess though, I used to dance w/ the Teletubbies, LOL. As long as you're moving enjoy it,

Cara, Congrats on the loss!! I've been drinking alot of soda lately too, so dont feel bad

Well, Its time to go pick Christian up from school. I'll talk to you all later.

Have a Great Day!!!!!!

Hello ladies!!!

Nett - CONGRATS on not smoking!!! It is such an accomplishment... you have done the hardest BUT BEST thing for your body!!! Sending you bubbly, happy quitter vibes & exercise vibes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ you've earned it!!!

Amanda - Don't sweat the Mc D's - you've stocked up on healthy fare!!! The sugar free jello is awesome!!! Have a great day!!

Cindy - great goal for this week!!! Body By Barney - LOL!! Except that would turn me off of exercise! I am not a Barney fan - lol!!! It's wonderful that you stayed the same and didn't gain! You can get it going again! The weather of walking is upon us! I am taking the kids tonight after dinner - they really miss it!

Chris - I know what you mean about the "who cares" attitude! When I go off plan I usually steamroll headfirst into everything I shouldn't have! Not anymore - when i get that feeling like, well, I've already blown it, might as well have that donut (or six) that i wanted --- I make myself say no, and exercise or floss my teeth to something to keep me busy. I am weird, but it works, so far. You can stay on track!

Losingit, Tea & Alisha - hey girls hope ya'll are fine and doing well. Tea, did you end up with the stomach bug that's going around? I hope you are better if you did.

I am hangin' in there. I lost another half a pound. I swear that Ab Bootcamp is the best. I can't wait to take pictures on the 16th to see the changes!!! Better go shoot some hoops with the kiddos!! Well, ok so I'll be chasing the balls while they shoot, but it's still burning calories!!!
have a great day ladies

Going to the gym with my sister tonight. I did great with my calorie intake today so far. I feel much better than I did yesterday.

Gonna get the dinner going for the family. Check back later

~chris

mommy: sorry to hear about your hubby.. how is he doing now?

carafre - No, I don't think it's a stomach bug. Just a really nasty cold. Today I'm still not feeling great but I'm not feeling horrible either so I'm definitely going to exercise. Gotta get back into the groove.

Good Morning Slimmin SAHMmies!

I have completed my workout for today, and am on my 2nd bottle of water. So far I have done pretty well on my calories for this week, so Hopefully I will see a change for the better on saturday's weigh in. It is a beautiful day here in Southwest VA, and I dont know about you all, but something about the spring-like weather has me inspired I think I will take some time each day that the weather is so nice, to start doing some yardwork. I have brush to clear, gardens to dig (i dont have a tiller so i have to do it the old fashioned way...Lots of exercise!) and I may start hanging some of my laundry outside again.

Alisha: I do like fitday, it really helps me to have the foods I've eaten staring back at me w/ full calorie and fat count, lol. It also lets me see where I am getting my calories from (fat, carbs, protien) I also write it in a notebook (hmmm....maybe i'm obsessed? LOL)

Tea: Sorry you're feeling bad. Sending "get well" vibes your way ~~~~~~~~

Cara, Chris, and everyone else, I hope you're having a great week!


I have to get off here and get busy on the laundry mountain, lol. Alisha, I'm right with you, lol. I have NO idea where so many dirty clothes come from... spontanious generation????

I did a post yesterday and it didn't submit.

Anyhow, I'm doing okay. Tiana was home sick yesterday and I wasn't feeling so good either. I'm so sick of all this flu and cold stuff everywhere.

Monday night I went to the gym with my sister and did 35 min on the elliptical and 45-50 min of weights. I was feeling it yesterday. My butt and legs were aching. I feel much better today.

Homework is calling. I've been poopin around for most of my spring break this week and I still have some assignments due on Monday. May as well get a head start on it all so I'm not scrambling to get it all done this weekend.

Good evening ladies! Just a quick check-in for me. It's nice to see some of the old faces again, Amanda, Carafre, Alisha, and everyone else. I miss my Sahmmies when I don't post every day!

I've been drinking lots of water this week, so that's good. Even though I hate using this as an excuse, my monthly friend stopped in for a surprise visit on Monday (I say "surprise" because I always forget to keep track.... which explains the "surprise" that is sometimes known as the Sir ). But I have a good feeling about weigh-in this week. I've been getting some exercise, not as much as I should but more than usual.

How is everybody else doing? I have a question for the Billy Blanks masochists: Is that Ab workout part of the Boot camp tape? Or is it seperate? I'd like to buy it, I'm sure it kicks butt (er, ab).

See ya soon!

Cindy B.

Well I ate okay, not awesome but I made up for it with a workout at the gym. I'm doing it a bit different this week and I can feel more muscles aching which means I'm working them babies...WHO HOO!

I see changes in my muscle tone and body shape but not much on the scale. I can't wait to see the numbers start going down. Man, I pray for that!

Gonna get a game of LIterati in before DH gets home. Then I'm taking a nice soak in the tub with my PSP book to learn how to do that stuff.

~chris

Good morning!

I only drank 36oz of water yesterday, but I did stay w/in my calorie limit. Today I am going to have :
Breakfast: 1C cereal (dont know what kind yet) w/ 1/2 C. milk (whole)
Lunch: salad made w/ lettuce, cucumber, bell pepper, broccoli, and a little cheddar cheese w/ FF ranch dressing
Snack: 1stalk celery w/ peanut butter
Dinner: Shepherds pie (or cottage pie rather, since I use beef, lol) w/ sm. side salad
Snack: 1c. sf jello

Alisha: Thanks for the encouragement As for the workout, I'm just doing Kathy smith right now...I figure that Billy would REALLY kick my butt right now, LOL. Plus DH bought me a small desk and moved it into the living room and now I lost about 2.5ft of floor space, lol. I dont know if i have enough room to do all those kicks and jabs. But we will find out, because next week I am going to start adding billy back into the mix.
Sorry your little one is sick, I hope he feels better soon.

Cindy, The ab workout is part of bootcamp, but I think most stores sell the Bootcamp dvds separate, I know I have seen them individually at kmart...also try ebay.

Well, I've got to get off here and get Christian off to school. Hope you all have a great day !

Good morning Sahmmies! How is everyone doing today? It's a windy, slightly overcast day here near Atlanta, but it's in the 60's so I can't complain too much. Spring is coming and we'll all be wearing shorts again and t-shirts, so let's keep on working out and eating right!

Did you see the note at the top of the main forum page about the 3fc book? The 3 ladies wrote a book. How exciting! I bet there's a lot of good stuff in it, I'll probably order it.

Not much time to write this morning; hubby has been out of town but is on his way home. When he gets home (in about an hour) we'll go to Home Depot to "look" at flooring for our downstairs. I hope I can persuade him to actually order it and get it installed. *crosses fingers* We really shouldn't do it now (money) but I HATE our 10-year-old pseudo-white carpet!

Talk to you ladies later!

Hey ladies....
Do you mind if I join in? I'm a SAHM and trying to lose weight AGAIN. I started weight watchers again "honestly" this time and need some buddies to keep me going. It looks like a lot of you have been at this for a while and are doing great. My goal is to lose as much as i can for July....little surprise for my husband and of course making me feel better about my self too
