cherokeeangel-don't be so hard on yourself. at least you didn't gain. it could have been a lot worse!
I had a busy day. I decided (because I've been beating myself up so bad lately) that I am going to follow my diet from the dietitian and exercise when I want to and feel like it. For me, because I never know how my day is going to be (thanks to the BiPolar) I have a hard time sticking to a schedule. I'm going to exercise on the days I feel like it. When I pressure myself, I never want to do it. Plus, I beat myself up and make myself feel guilty when I don't. So, my big goal is to not gain, loose when I loose and not feel so stressed from weight loss stress. I did buy some clothes today a smaller size than usual, so that was a plus! TTYL!

Thought I'd pop in and say g'night to you all! I'm beat,so I'm going to bed early. see ya tomorrow!

Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't been chatting much, we've had heavy rain for the last couple of days and of course our crappy Charter internet had to be down. Just got it back up today but if it rains heavy again, it will probably be back down. I hate Charter. Hope everyone is doing good. :) :hug:

Had a good exercising day today- 40 minutes on the treadmill this morning and then a mile walk tonight while ds was at soccer. Made good use of the track around the field- lol.
Water wasn't as high today, but still got plenty I guess. All in all a good day. Love how the game betters my choices :D
Check in tomorrow...

I've had a great day exercise wise.
30 minutes on the treadmill, then 30 minutes walking the kids home form scholl and an hours walk with my friend at lunchtime.
Haven't done quite so well with the water today though.

Good morning chickies!

Hope you're all having a bright and cheerful morning. I got in 3.6 miles walking before the rain came back this morning. So, that'll help set my day off to a good start. I have spinning later this morning too!!

Softball was a riot last night. We played all but 1/2 an inning in the rain. Including some downpouring rain! We were all SOAKED. We ended up losing by 1 run, but it was a great game all around. We were like little kids playing in the puddles. Except for getting a little cold, we really had fun. :p

tete-Hope your back on today after dinner last night. I successfully stopped my binge before it took over my day. That's a big step for me. Hope your doing well.

chaarli-Great job on the exercise!

jelynn-Congrats on getting in that walk while waiting for practice! So glad your back!

Angela-I love your new avatar! You guys look so happy! Can't remember if I commented, but glad your anniversary went so well!!!! You've been doing awesome lately. (Congrats on the guitar final!) I like your new plan. It is really hard to schedule things when you're not sure how you'll feel. I find if I have a variety of options open to me, I can modify as needed everyday. (Plus, then I dont get down on myself for not sticking exactly to plan). Anyways, hope you have a great day!

CherokeeAngel-Hang in there girl. I agree with Angela-You didn't gain, and that is a victory worthy of a smile.:D

katallan-Hooray for starting a gym habit! 2 days in a row is an awesome start to developing a habit! Great Job.

kaplods-Awesome staying away from the goodies at TOM. I'm glad you're feeling better. It sucks when your body refuses to let you do what you want.:mad:

la3y-So sorry to hear about your burn. I hope it heals up fast for you. I can't wait to get camping again. I'm not any help for the eating at camp, but I LOVE hiking, biking, and kayaking when we go. Hubby does lots of swimming, but my idea of swimming is floating on a raft with a good book and a cold drink :beach: not such great exercise, but good for the soul!

Wendy-Glad you had a great night dancing. What a fun way to exercise!!!!

Niki-As always great job on the exercise! Did you use some of your boxing skills :boxing: on that complaining guy? That would have been a hard reaction to resist! Chunky huh, definetly better than fat! I love some of the things kids come up with! They're so fun.

Rosario-I'm seeing an excellent trend in your exercise points. You're doing it consistently!!!!! HOORAY!:carrot: I get a chuckle out of seeing all the new avatars your trying out. I kinda miss seeing your pic though.

equisitern-Congrats on the size going down! Thats my favorite part!!!

nail-lady-I love watching little league games. The kids look so into it and try so hard. Very cute! (Plus you always have someone who just really isn't into the game and finds something funny to distract them-I think that was me.)

miasmom-LOVE new workout shoes. Great job with the good food!

Lydia-Your new avatar is great!!! You look like such a happy couple! I hope your adjusting to being apart without to much heartbreak. I'm thinking of ya.:hug:

Hope I didn't miss anyone. Ladies!!!! I am so impressed with all of you. How could we not stay motivated with this group behind us! Thanks!!

Morning all, hope everyone is having a good Thursday!

Brandy I do the same thing but I do swin like a fish. The camp ground we are going to has lots of great hills I am going to try to walk as much as I can during the day. We are takeing the dog and I know he will love it. My kids love to walk to so I will get them into it.

As for my 2 points yesterday...I only got one. But That Not Going To Happen Today!!!!! I will get my 2 points for today.

Update on New bike ride:
We will be going in Sept. to a Bike rally.....I cant wait. It will be in Maggyvally NC. This time we will be gone for 4 days.....I got to work on this last 25 so I can be too hot.

Well have a great day all! I need to get to work.

LA3Y - You can do it!!!!!


Brandy Yes I did he was the last person I fought with he said I hit hard...LOL

This thread is jumping. I thought this games was dying down but not anymore. :carrot: :carrot:

Well I have Kickboxing tonight. And I am hoping to go to the gym at lunch as long as I don't get lazy it's still raining makes me more lazy. I had a bad dinner and a little binge last night. Why I do that is beyond me bacause then I get mad at myself. I have to try harder on controlling I use to be able to control and I let my self go this past 2 weeks and it seems to be hard to get out of it. "sigh" lets try this again. You would think after gaining 7 lbs in 2 weeks it would make me stop :( But a new day and i am going to try my hardest. I have to get work done post later

Bye girls and have a great day

Hi everyone! So glad to see how well everyone is doing, it keeps me motiviated to stay on plan! Thank you for that!!

Well, last night was Alex's T-ball game...now that was fun to watch! It is so funny to see the kids laying in the outfield, picking clover or sitting in the dirt drawing pictures. They really crack me up!

I did manage to get alot of walking in going inbetween the two fields. My oldest practiced at one end and my youngest's game was literally at the complete opposite end. I won't really count that as exercise, because I would get there and sit a few minutes to watch.

Angela~Congrats on buying a smaller size, That Always feels good!!

Miasmom~Asics, you say? I have been looking for a new pair of shoes for outdoor use, maybe I will look into them.

Everyone keep up the great work and I will chat again later!
Darcy

Good morning! Wow, i had a bad day for food yesterday. I got my 3 healthy meals but I went on a couple of binges for snacks. Not good!! But I'm ok. I think I have a real problem. I wasn't hungry on my little binges. I couldn't even taste the food. It got me thinking that maybe something is wrong with me. Let's jut see if I can work on my self control.

I do get to go to the gym today. woo hoo. So i'll get my 40 minutes on the treadmill. And if it isn't raining on my lunch I'll go for a 20 minute wlk because I have some errands to do.

It looks like everybody is getting rain lately. Let's all move our wokrouts indoors. Do a tape or dvd to get our excercise in.

wendy-your summer sounds like it is going to be fun. how many times do you plan on going campin?

brandy-glad yu had fun at your game. you'll get 'em next time. about the avatar, i haven't found a pic that I like yet. Maybe I'll get lucky this weekend!

tete-yes tomorrow (or today?) will be a new day. just try to eat less the rest of the week so you don't go over your points.

chaarli and jelynn-great job on getting your excercise done!!

kaplods-glad you are back on track. bellydancing sounds like fun. i actually want to get into that soon. why don't you show hubby some of your moves and that'll shut him up :)

katellan-i like how you look on the positive side of your bad day. I think that is always a big help. gteat job on getting to the gym.

angela-your plan sounds good to me. i hope it is easier for you to stick with it.

lady unicorn-come on girl!! I know you can get those 2 points today!!!

nikki-i knwo exactly how you feel. i've let myself go too these past couple of weeks. and now it is really hard to get back into the good eating and self-control. we just have to take it one day at a time!

shari-that sucks about your internet. hope it isn't downfor youtoday!

have a good one ladies!!!

Good morning All!
Wow, sounds like everyone is working so hard! and some of your exercise is unbelievable. I added on a 40 minute exercise video this morning. I got a good sweat going before I had to shower. I weigh in at WW today. I hope I lost at least 1 1/2 lbs. I kinda splurged yesterday at lunch. We had a nurses day luncheon and too many tasties to resist, especially that banana pudding, but I made up for it with a WW soup at dinner and walked for 1 hour. I'm really getting into walking, I even had a guy comment on it! He couldn't believe I had gone 3 1/2 miles. Our park has a 1/2 mile circuit and I go around it 7 times.
Still feeling really good!
Good luck to all.
Colleen: Belly dancing sounds fun, I bet your husband will really enjoy watching you!! lol
Artsygirl: Congrats on biking 14 miles!! Also, I've started thinking that way, that one meal doesn't have to ruin a day!
Rosario: Sorry about your lunch. But congrats on the walking.
Wendy: Sometimes it doesn't pay to be social! Wow, 2 hours of dancing! Sounds like too much fun!
Everyone have a great day!!!

Well, it's Thursday! Sounds, and looks! like everyone is doing so well!

I did not get my 2 points of exercise yesterday. Today is another day though, and I have a horseback riding lesson this afternoon, so I KNOW I will be getting some there! My instructor gauges when to end my lesson by how red my face is, LOL!

Well have to get busy, check in later! :D

Just wanted to say hello to everyone and let yall know I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. We're having trouble with our computer monitor, so I can't get online at night like I used to be able to. Our replacement one should be here no later than Sunday (thank goodness for warranties!) and I'll be able to be on here a little more then :) Yesterday was a much better day for me, and today has started out well. I'm moving our ps2 in the other room tonight after I get off of work so I can play Dance Dance Revolution to get more exercise points in....I'm so excited!
