ok, i did 4 in 27 min:)

T, hear about the snow storm coming your way. You guys can say you got a lot use out of your winter clothes this year:lol: We've had some really hot days.... makes me scared of what the summer will bring us this year :o

A, Four miles in 27 MIN :cheer: woohoo ...you should join T in her 6 mile walk coming up.

Went shopping for food today and only bought two junk food items ...everything else was just stuff for dinner, Dh lunches and of course the non food items I could have done without :yikes: Need to stop taking DD shopping with me she wants to look at everything and then I want to buy it...mostly for her too.

Nighty nite ladies

thanks lorra:)

good job on the low junk food purchase. i plan to do that too. if i buy any@ all this week itll only be something that can be eaten bf monday. i may not tho bc i already have icecream&2 pkgs of reeses come to think of it i prob wont bc ill be pigging out@ lunch w a friend on sunday.

whats up t?

4.2 m=27.40

GREAT JOB A :cheer:

aww ty lorra!:hug: i think im done w that kinda mileage though bc mon if my official restart so i will merely be adding the tread as additional activity to my existent routine rather than by itself like i have been but id like to pull at least 1 mile.

are we all on track now? if not, lets get there!! i know the weekend is gonna be a food massacre, but mon i will jump right back!

good morning guys!
whats up? im anticipating that ill be fine today w food except for the pizza but ive no hopes for tomm as it is bagel day in this house and seeing as though its gonna be my last one for a very very long time i will have one and im having lunch w a friend so its dn the tubes but im ok w that bc i wasnt really starting until monday anyway.

4.5=30 min! yipee!!! that was my goal...

im done now til monday and i doubt ill be able to keep that kind of time after lifting weights but i was using the time to really get the feel of it bc ive never walked a tread bf last weekend. but, i would like to keep it somwhere bt 10-20 min a day(in addition to the weights, bike, and pool)

I'm kinda half a$$ing it :( I've been on the go all day the last couple days so I've been eating whatever whenever. Kept me busy but that's not good either. Didn't get to curves friday either ..was all set to do so then all the to do's from thurday were spilled into friday so I never made it up there to sign up.......HOWEVER I'm done with tomorrows so I'm starting today...had a wake up call this morning. I looked into the mirror and noticed how fat my neck was:( I've had a double chin wasn't proud of it but that wasn't all I seen when I looked in the mirror now my whole neck is getting fatter Gross. Okay so enough is enough now or never. I will head up to curves hopefully Monday if not for sure on tuesday. Have NOTHING planned for Tuesday so there should be no reason I can not make it up there.

:hug: lorra!

i know how you feeel i hate when it gets too busy cuz then when you finally it you dont care anymore. can you buy some portable plastic containers w lids and an insulated bag w stuff in your car? maybe thatll help.

cmon girl, you can do it! it sounds like you found your motive(your neck) go for it!

A thanks for the tips but I'm a HUGE planner. And when things happen that mess up everything I had planned then I'm kinda like a chicken with it's head cut off I run around trying to get everything done. If things went as planned I would have took along something knowing I would have to stop to eat....the PLAN wasn't to stop for fast food the PLAN was to be done home and then off to the late afternoon run arounds. Instead I was going all day and by mid afternoon I'm in wendy's getting fast food. Although if I would have been thinking right i could have got a healthier choice and ordered a salad instead of chicken nuggets and a fry...lets not forget the huge soda as well.
THINK HEALTHY is the key here. I have to get my head into this diet 100% or i will fail again. HOPEFULLY starting with today..... Slept in late today and had a banana and lite yogurt... probably going to have an orange here in a little bit then start dinner......WE CAN DO THIS :tread:

LOL re reading my post I should add when I'm home and don't really have anything to do I don't want to PLAN anything ...yeah I know I'm a strange one :lol:

lol lorra!

in know we never plan that to happen but my leader keeps non perishjable emergency kit in her car::)

we can do this!! i just got bk from shoppin n im hiottin wholesale in an hr to finiosh up.

hey l, remember your neck!!!

Hey you two, I see you are both working hard to get in gear and that is great!!!!
I am on vacation and eating a ton!!! Still awaiting af though and am thinking i may go crazy. We are in another big storm and I have no car as dh car broke down and he is taking mine until he gets his back. Meanwhile I am stuck in the house eating frozen yogurt!!!!!I am also on day 4 samoke free!!!!!!!!!!!HELP
T

holy cow tara!!

first congrats on day 4 smoke free! its not easy to control both issues at once but it is do-able. can a friend take you shopping? if i were you id throw it away if you cant stay away from it. try things like raw veggies and ff sour cream dip or nonfat yogurt or fruit and yogurt, sf jello, popcorn etc.

good luck!

no bagel today so i was op but im having dinner w a friend and im allowing myself to splurge. im evening planning ahead bc she doesnt know exactly what time itll be so rather than starve i think ill have 1/2 pbj on wheat around 3 bc she said round 4-5.

i walked 6 miles today:)

where are you guys??
well i have some unplanned obstacles my first day but i will get through! i maintained my 4 lb loss from 2 weeks ago i think half atting it the last few days really helped.

Hello A way to go.....that treadmill was a great idea for you. Diet or not that exercise is wonderful for you too :hug:

Lost 2.5 pounds this weekend :D That is very good for me as weekends are the hardest for me.

T, how's it going? That sucks being suck in the house and with the storm there would not be much you could do anyhow...Weather getting any better?

thanks l.....congrats on that loss!!!

my goal from now to sat. is to maintain todays weight bc the kids and i are having lunch on wed.

how ya doin t?

Where are ya going to eat A? Usually with kids favs you have lots of fatty food to choose from...TRUST ME thats half of my trouble right now. We don't go much but when he do it's never good :lol:

Looks like I'm not going to be able to do curves:( Couple guys at Dh's job were laid off so we are not for sure how long the job is going to last. Don't need any extra bills right now. On top of that I had to take one of my daughters cats to the vet because he got into a huge fight and wasn't healing from his wounds. They had to keep him over night and not sure what follow up treatment will be. I hope he gets better quickly but thats going to be a nice big bill :eek: Thats bring to mind another bill I didn't want...My sister and I got cell phones together in my NAME ...the deal was to half the bill but she got a phone from work and I'm pretty sure shes going to drop out of the contract on me and I'm going to be stuck with the whole bill...have to go and talk to the company and see if I can lower that bill without signing another 2 year contract since i'm on my last year of the other contract....okay enough venting :D Nighty-nite ladies

:hug: :hug: l!

can things get any worse for you right now? youre in my prayers girl... i hope you can get out of that stupid contract and i hope that dh gets another job quick n that someone helps pay that vet. how bout buyin a set of watp?(they are cheap and at least its a one time cost. can you walk outdoors? or how bout buyin one of those peddle gagets from those cheap catalogs?

we go to friendlys....its a losing battle. we go every 2 wks after the chiro bc i like to reward them for sitting in the car bored to death for 30-40 min.

L, Can you get someone else to take over the other phone?? That way you arent stuck w/ the whole payment. Sorry about all that stuff, but I think you are full now and things should look up soon!!!
A, Great job on the walking, its so good for you!!!
By the way I am winning the smoking battle, its day 5 but am definitely losing the wl battle. Between quitting and af coming I am scared spitless of the scale right now.
Also I fell down teh stairs Sunday and really messed up my ankle and knee so I have been pretty lazy since then...
Great day you two!
t

hi guys!

hows it goin? tara are you ok? thats gotta hurt! its very difficult to juggle both issues but youre strong youll find a way.

lorra anything get resolved yet?

Ouch Tara Are you okay? Both of those usually heal slowly so TAKE IT EASY as long as you can :hug: Way to go on the smoking...I know how hard it is to quit ..I smoked until i got pregnant with my daughter. Stopped until she was born and started up again for a while until it was giving me awful headaches. Was still hard to quit but the headaches helped to stop completely. Dh smokes and the smell still gives me awful headaches. If only junk food gave me headaches :lol:
No I really don't have anyone to take over the phone. I could ask my mother in law but she forgets alot and I would have to always remind her to pay the bill. I'm thinking about just going and signing another contract. Another two year contract but if it's a lower payment I may have to do it. If Dh leaves this job he will need a cell since his job owns the one he has now so I will be able to add him if i need to. Didn't make it to talk to the company was at the vets most of the afternoon. They told me after 12 and I thought well better wait until closer to one because of lunch and they still were not done patching up the cat when i got there. Wanna take a guess on how much the bill was????

289 :yikes: I didn't have the heart to tell dh the total so I lied and said it was 200 didn't give any other number when it's actually closer to 300. Cat goes back in a week and I was going to take along another cat for shots but I think I will wait and see how much all this is going to cost us first.

Some better news with the job though. The company signed tons of new contracts and dh should be safe with this job for AT LEAST another 6 months. Not that we can let our guard down but it helps knowing it's not tomorrow or next week

A you have a VERY well behaved niece and nephew..no way could my niece (5) and nephew (2) sit in a car that long without killing each other and whoever watching them wanting to kill themselves:lol: .....spoil them rotten

Going to hit the hay...enjoy the book

L, That is a crazy high vet bill, they really are like kids arent they!!!! I am feeling a little better, my ankle is still a little weak and am trying to get it back so I can get in shape for my 6.2 mile walk coming up in a few weeks. AF finally arrived and now I can look forward to the numbers on the scale (hopefully) going down instead of up!!!!!!Glad your hubby is safe, even if for 6 months. In that time you guys can make a plan, and he can see whats out there.
A, how is it going today????
Tara

hi guys!

tara im glad youre feelin better:) take it easy. ,my af is due in a within a few days so im hoping thats why the scale isnt buging.

hey l! im soooo glad that dh is safe for 6 more months. every bit helps! im sorry about the vet bill, i know how they can be! it may be your best bet to sign another c even though it does kinda bite.

thank you, we are very lucky w the kids though im the 1st one to admit they have more than theyre share of moments but yeah they sit well. sometimes mom trakes them to walgreens thats there or drives around the corner to the fire house.

ok i gotta shower and be outta here in an hr....

Hello ladies

T, Take it easy if it hurts STOP! How many miles do you think you could now without pushing it?

A, Yes I'm sure the kids would need a walk or something. I have to say my nephew 2 yrs is really good by himself. He will just talk and keep himself busy my niece on the other hand can't sit still or whines the whole time about what we are doing next....and TOGETHER she picks on her lil brother the whole time. My step father in law watches them most of the time and some how does it all the time. Better him then me. Think I just don't yell loud enough.

After spending all that money yesterday I decided I'm not going anywhere today :lol: I'm going to hang out at home clean and unclutter my ebay stuff. The cat is an outside cat and wants to go outside very badly and is driving me crazy...I have more than a 2 weeks of this:eek: Hes a stray and now needs his shots and to be fixed. Hopefully then he will not go and get his butt kicked all the time.

Still 246 ..... maybe the scale will move tomorrow :)

lorra,
gl w the cat!

i hear ya i cant believe i stayed the same today and now prob have gained a few in light of lunch. this sucks

did okay today too OP :D snacked a little more than I would have liked before dinner though. It wasn't cooking as fast as I thought it would so a had a snack attack. Dinner was low fat though so hopefully I didn't do to much damage.
Thanks for the luck A.....you wouldn't believe how much my daughter loves that darn cat. She was talking to him tonight before bedtime and they fell asleep together it was soo cute. I then said I guess you were worth it :lol:

good job lorra!

i hate if i get hungry like that. i was starving late last night fro,m skipping dinner(believe me i didnt need the cals) it was so hard though. im not weighing in again until sat. i have no high hopes.

i can understand the love dd has for the cat. im the same w my cat:)

whats up t?

Hey all!!!
I am feeling better today, though if I turn my ankle wrong it hurts. I think I could do 3 miles without wanting to die, so, I will just hop in the stroller and have the 2 year old push the second half, just kidding, I have to work out though!!!!!!!!
Dont feel bad about the scale, I havent even looked at mine in days, I will face reality again Sunday, after my birthday!!!!
Great day all
Tara

A, how did you do today? Not to bad here. had mayo that I shouldn't and had a handful of chocolate candy. Didn't weigh in this morning so I don't know if it moved or not. Oh yeah and green tea i bought a couple days ago that has sugar...it's really good had three glasses. Have to head to the store tomorrow. Don't want to but I have to. I say right before i leave to go to the store DOES ANYONE NEED ANYTHING..Plus I take my cell and it takes half an hour to get up there then who knows how long in the store depending on how busy it is....I usually get a couple things everyone wants then when I get home about an hour or two later I hear OHHH you know what I need...Hello I just asked and you said NOTHING....I feel like I can't get ahead... Sorry another little vent ..i should be thankful I can get to the store anytime I need to since I know how it feels to not be able to go and have to wait...Okay done promise :lol:

T, glad you are feeling better :hug: Stay off the ankle girlie... Well as much as you can anyway.....When DD broke her arm I keep hearing if it hurts it's still healing. Your birthday is Sunday? My sis's b-day is sunday....and that reminds me that I haven't got her anything :eek: I was thinking about her Monday but I couldn't think of what to get her and gave up ....Got any idea's on what to get someone you have no idea what they already have? She lives in TX.

Tomorrow is FRIDAY :D

hey t!

stay off that ankle! lol on the strollrr! happy birthday tara! i didnt know that. my friends bday is monday.

whats up lorra? i rteally screwed up big time yest. i have no idea what happened. im hoping its af b/c i just dont feel good i get so tired just bf she comes.

rofl on that whole store thing...isnt that just the way??? dang kids!(and dh!)

Down half a pound 245.5 ...scale finally moved.

A, brush yourself off and jump right back in. I'm really craving a hamburger. If I eat one up goes the scale. Not sure if it's worth it yet.
Yesterday vent was more toward DH. He doesn't do anything anymore unless it's for him. He went to the store yesterday and picked up food for work ...then asked oh do we need any of this? How bout ask while u are at the store like I do... I do all the shopping for his work too and I always remember him and even call and ask him if he needs anything...then comes the ohh yeah I need. Feel like saying get it yourself since you can make it to the store if you need something.....yeah so DARN DH :lol:

Not really feeling good today either. I have tons of things I need to be running around doing and I'm having trouble moving my butt. Just want to go to sleep.

hey l,

maybe he does need to start doin it for himself so hes more appreciative of the effort you do make.

whats wrong w a lean burger? grill one up and slap it on a wheat bun w a lf cheese slice, some tomato and mustard and ketchup its yummy and good for you.

well at least now i know af is the reason i lost the good fight yet again.

lost the fight too A, I lose I gain YO YO.

Yeah he does and I'm done asking.

Hey l, also those boca veggie burgers are pretty good. I have also found recipes for veggie burgers that were tasty!!!!
I was late this am and have no clue if the scale is my friend today or not!!!
I did 4 miles yesterday in practice for the walk on the 12th!!!
Tara

thats awesome tara!

hey lorra:hug: im sorry you lost. i def. lost and i surrender until af leaves bc i crave crave crave 24/7 and have the energy of an ant. i have a theory: its said that theres a link between energy and iron and that women lose iron during ovulation. my theory is this: the heavier you bleed the more iron you lose so that ifyou are a very heavy bleeder like me, it scrapes every oz of energy out of you.

good for you lorra for letting dh fend for himself:)

A, take extra iron during AF. Maybe that will help with the energy level.

Way to go T, You can do it.

Didn't even bother to weigh in today.
