I exercised for 70 minutes tonight. All sweaty and eating and apple and talking to you guys. :) Just read a posting about ordering pizza and now I'm thinking PIZZA :dizzy: I'll keep eating the apple. I did choke down two glasses of water tonight. You guys motivated me to do healthy things I haven't done in a long time.

Loveandlaugh - A date? I can't remember the last time my husband and I went out. Have an awesome time and let us know which movie.:)

Nikaia - I hate 1200 calories too. Eat a lot of pre-packaged meals like lean cuisine, 100cal pack snacks, etc. Otherwise I overeat.

home from work...
 

Frustrating evening at work as usual its nice to unwind with you guys!
High stress J-O-B to say the least... cancer unit at a hospital.:( Even when I work 3-11 you'd think I could exercise during the day but its like I'm on melt down mode or something preparing myself for the next shift. I have to force myself to do the least things like get groceries, house work, anything out of the ordinary such as exercise. Seldom have a decent shift. Right now I am on an 8 day stretch of 7-3 and 3-11's. Oh well so I look forward to "talking" to you guys... So I managed to stay with in my calories today. I hope to be 150 by Feb for our anniversary vacation...Enough about me...

Mariniform-family issues can be tough especially with your parents. But I do give you credit, WOW 4.5 mph for 3 ml. I can only do 3.5 mph on a good day
thats great! I am excited about the Secret Santa thing though cant wait to see who I am matched up with.

Ann-1200 calories doest hardly seem enough, are you losing or maintaining on that?

stopeating- Wow that 70 min of excersize is great! hope you didnt succumb to the pizza and ruin it...maybe keep some low cal pizza on hand for those moments:^:

ennay - congrats on a great day of staying with in your limits. I am sure that once you start running around with the terrible 2's you will definitely get back to where you want to be....:carrot: My grandaughters terrible 2's actually started when shee was 10 months she is now 16months and still going strong. You'll excercise weather you want to or not!

Nikaia-Fresh start today...thats whats so great about the sunrise...A new day
NO DONUTS

Getting tired now, nice talking to you guys...Good night...
See you with my java in the AM...

littlegg - you're right. No donuts. No donuts no donuts no donuts. I need to get these awful things out of my room...they're sitting on my bed right now since I had breakfast up here while working on homework. Gods, I indulge in such bad habits! Well, but I've choked down a glass of water just now, so I'm going to call it a night - and a not very on-plan day - and just go to bed. Sunrise is new. I'll try again then.

Keep up with that apple, Ann. I'd have had one too, but all ours have gone bad. Grocery shopping tomorrow, if my check clears! Glad to hear you're doing good things for yourself.

Love ya guys, g'night!:faint:

Stuck to my apple and no pizza. I actually may have lost a pound, but I am cautiously optimistic and will wait til Saturday to make the call. Off to take the kids and go to work. Have a great day everyone!

Littlegg- Very stressful job - emotionally and physically :hug:

i have to read back through the posts you guys have been busy yesterday. yesterday wasnt so great could have been better im kind of irritated because i cannot seem to fit exercise in i wake up at 6am for work and i never have enough time and i get off between 6-8pm do anyone have any suggestions i know working out is one of my major problems i feel so much better when i do. Well getting ready for work you guys are doing great

My goodness you guys are so awesome!! I'm running late as usual...this is a nasty pattern with me these mornings!

I was AWFUL yesterday!! I had an early breakfast and then didnt get lunch till almost 1, by the time that rolled around I was so hungry I just couldnt stop eating, and it carried on through the rest of the day. NOT GOOD!! See how important that planning is! I've got to remember a snack between classes on those long days. I think thats my new mantra....failing to plan is planning to fail.

Sorry I've been so neglectful and not doing personals the past few days. I promise I'm gonna catch up with everyone just as soon as time allows. gonna be a busy few days for me with classes...I've got 2 exams on friday and a big paper due on Monday. then next week starts our elf shelf store at my daughters school, PTA runs it so you know what that means.

Have a wonderful day everyone!! Keep up that amazing support, I see so many of you making some AMAZING choices...no donuts, no pizza!! Such inspirations you all are. Makes me think about my own choices and I thank you for that!!! Keep on shining hotties!!

~melissa

Huneb:

That is fine. haha I know the feeling.

Okay so I will come back and do personals in a few minutes but this is what is up with me. I was feeling a bit soory for myself going to the dentist yesterday so I decided to make it my out to eat day! :lol:dh ordered a cheeseburger with bacon and fries and i am proud that I only picked like 3 off his plate! I ordered the carne asada soft taco plate with rice and beans. It also gives like half an avocado! and a big old glob of sour cream! I know avocado is healthy for ya but you still need to be careful. So I gave half the avocado to dh for his burger and put one sliver on one taco, then 3 on the other. The beans did have cheese and a few chips on it but I enjoyed it. The rice was normal rest. fare, not too bad. I stuck a tiny bit of sour cream on both tacos and then took the rest of the big glob and stuck it on a napkin and squeezed it! I know. GRoss!! But it worked. I did NOT go after it! hahaha I wound up eating the taco that had one sliver of avocado and a tiny bit of sour cream on it. (I think it was like a tea spoon but put a tbs of light sourcream into fit day to balance it out cause the regular sourcream only had cals for 1 cup!) I was full after all that. Since my will power was strong, I decided to give the taco to one of the kids when I got home! And I actually did! I am so proud of myself!

Well I also had:

1 apple
1 orange
32 oz of coffee with 5 tbs creamer
1 serving of cashews
1 huge bagel with 1 tbs cream cheese
2 servings of ramen noodles

= 2200


Everything was going fine and I actually got in a ton of walking! 2 hours and 10 minutes! But then I had to go to the dentist! Aarrgghhhh!!! 5 drills and fills! 1 crown that needed to be put on. And 4 extractions!!! No I have never done drugs, yes I do brush my teeth! The problem was I had not visited a dentist since I was a child. My mom had so much trouble with her teeth when i was growing up that I was actually scared to go and when I was a teenager and my bestfriend told me that a root canal was WORSE than giving birth, I tried to swear off dentist forever!

I remember when i first started having trouble too. :( It was a few years ago and I was pg and I could not take any cold medicine. :( SO I wound up having a ton of cough drops! I would even take them when I went to sleep! :( BAD THING TO DO!!! That stuff is worse than candy! Anyhow I started having some trouble and should of gone to the dentist immediately but I didn't. :( So it has all caught up to me now these past few months. :( Since I have been getting healthy I have really kicked my butt about it and told myself I HAVE to do this!
So I have been dragging it out a bit but I am doing it. :)

Anyhow the medicine kept wearing off! they did it like 3 times! But I think it was probably just too long frm start to finish. :( I got there at 4:53 and I think they called me in at 5:15 or so and we didn't leave til 5 til 8!!!!! They got the drills and fills done and the crown done and the deep cleaning and the polishing and the extractions were the last. At least the ones that need to come out are all in the back so no one can see them! I am going to have to get a replacement or something next year. Anyhow. I could feel them yanking them out! It was terrible! I started screaming! He doped it up more, but I could STILL feel it! They got two out and one of those damn things broke off! So they had to go in and cut! It was terrible. I even started crying and telling them to leave me alone! I felt like such a big baby! Thank God Joey was there for the end with the extractions. They still had 2 more to do! so as much as I wanted to get it over with I knew I couldn't. I was very close to throwing up and had already started having a panic attack. Joe just wanted to get me out of there! :( I thought about it and decided that if we come back that is all they have to do so they will be able to do it soon after they num me for the first time so that should make a big difference! So they wanted to schedule me for next week. **** no! Joey told them a few weeks! Then they mentioned December 19! That is my birthday! NO! Anyhow we decided on the 26th. Yeah I know, day after x~mas. *sigh*

So I was not in the best of moods when I came home last nite. :( I was still full from earlier but wanted some comfort food, something warm like soup and all we had was one packet of ramen left! I haven't had that in ages. I figured, sure, why not. Did you know that just one packet has 380 calories in it?!? Oh my gosh! Yes it does! Good lord! So that is how I wound up at 2200. I am not sorry. I needed it. I am hoping to have a great day today! I am going to have to get creative as I am trying to be careful with my mouth etc. On one hand I was thinking of quitting the bagels cold turkey today since we are all out of cream cheese and saving them in the freezer for a "rainy day". But they are very soft and warm and I could put peanut butter on them! :D I was also thinking of making blueberry muffins! mmmmm.....I don't know. We'll see what happens. I will try to see what i can add and still keep it under 1700 cals and not too bad on the fat grams. No cashews for me today. :( No meat either. Which is fine. Burritos sound good but no tortillas. Maybe I should get some!

I checked the scale and it is still 213.5. That is good But I want to start losing again! I know what I need to do but with my dentist apt and all I just want to baby myself! :(

Surprisingly enough after yesterdays free for all with the food I was down .4 on the scale today...go figure!!

Jasmine...dentist...blech! thats my one true fear in life, my childhood dentist scared me and I havent been to a dentist in years! I waited so long to go have my wisdom teeth pulled that I literally HAD to do it or I couldnt open my mouth...and that was a traumatic experience too! Oye!! I hope today is better for you!

Have a great day all!!

Hun.e.B


Awwww! :hug: Yeah I figured some of you would know where I was coming from! :D You really should try to go again just to make sure everything is okay. Believe me you don't want them having to pull out more! I do feel better today. I also have ibuprofen so :D

That is great sweetie!!! that must of been so tempting too!!!

weekly thread sounds great!

Good Morning All,

Yesterday was great day eating and exercise wise. First one in the past 7 days. Hopefully this will get me back on track. Today will be another challenge, but I am determined to win. So I made a log of all the exercise I am going to be doing until December 31 and hung it up on my bathroom mirror. When I accomplish it I put a small smiley face sticker beside it. I know it may sound silly, but I think this will keep me motivated through the holidays. DH looked at it and said good idea. I think he wants one...hahaha.

Jasmine: That is alot of walking...way to go! How far do you usually walk during that time period, or at what pace do you walk? A weekly thread sounds good.

Hun.e.B: I love your mantra! I have to plan to or it is just downhill for me, it's like I eat because I don't know what to eat if that makes sense and then I just eat everything in site

miafluker: What about your lunch break? Sometimes I meet up with a friend and we walk and then walk the stairwell in our building up 12 flights of stairs. I know this might sound outrageous, but why not get up at 5am and do a workout. That is what I do, but I will be the first on to admit it took a while to get into this habit.

stopeating: Great job on the apple and no pizza.

littlegg: It takes special people to have those jobs, thanks for being on them!

loveandlaughalways: I hope you had a great time with your date night! My DH and I had one last friday night and it was so nice just actually see him.

Really quick here.
2 words for you dentist ladies.

Sedation Dentistry!

Also.. I AM NOW LOOING AT THE 60'S!

Exactly! My maintenance is 2225 a day with no exercise.(but I am shorter than you!) So I usually try to shoot for an average of 1700 a day with an average of 60-90 minutes daily of exercise. My walking average right now is 80. Not bad. I was at 90 on the 20th but got a bit miffed when it was NOT helping any! :lol: Anyways slow and steady wins the race.

Only one way to change that and that is to stick to the straight and narrow! Beat those temptations! I havent exercised today but thats okay, i did get alot of stair climbing in at the kids school again today. Tomorrow I'll visit the gym for sure!

Well what a great motivator! You weigh a little more than me but also have a few inches on me. SO we might look similiar, course it depends on where we carry it! :lol: Anyhow so I do NOT look frumpy! Which means you don't either! I look very thin and sleek! So you do too! (and even if we don't, lets just keep telling ourselves that til we do! :lol: )

Onederland is not far off!!...can ya smell it yet?!

Thanx hun! I am so glad to be rid of him. I can honestly say that besides him being gone all the time he was not such a smuck before. It was only the last few years. I really think him being so overweight and getting high blood pressure affected and scared him to the point he took it out on us. Only he can change himself though. It is never okay to take anger out on your family like that. I did not want to raise my kids that it was okay to live in fear, or that it was okay to let a man hit you. or threaten too! I knew there was no way in **** I wanted my daughters following that example! Ummm...what was my new plan again? hahahahahahahaha

ONEDERLAND!!! HERE I COME!!!!!!

Right now I am aiming for 2000-2100/day, except when I run long and then I add another 100 for every mile over 4.

Okay hun the next thing I would recommend is to cut out potatoes, bread and processed stuff! Those are really a trigger for me which is why I ration myself. Even these darn bagels are triggering me! (they have 8 grams of sugar per bagle :( ) I notice when i eat cleaner that I don't get like that!

I LOVE taco bell! What did ya have? They also have "al fresco style" now there so you can skip cheese and sour cream for salsa!

Welcome hun!!! :hug:Well hun I was at that point too. It has been a long track but with me eating right and avoiding the bad foods MOST of the time my energy level is thru the roof!! It will get better! If you need any advice just ask us!

But I've almost made it to 1 liter of water for today, which is really good for me. My goal is to get to 2/day soon, but I'll settle for 1 to start with.

Off to the grocery store; Wish me the strength not to stop by 7-11 on the way home!!!

You can do this! I was wanting a grill cheese today too but I just might be good. Who knows? :lol:

Awww hunny! I can't believe how much fat is in wings either! I am so fortuante my dh is not too picky and eats whatever I give him, unfortunately now my eldest daughter is throwing a food fit!

Okay. I would agree with you but also for other reasons. I read in the exercise forum here it has a sticky that says 8 most dangerous or useless exercises etc and it mentions 3 machines at curves! My gosh they hardly have any machines as is! SO 3 are bad gfor you???? (If you want that link let me know!)

I need to light a flame under that man's ***, I tell ya!

That is EXACTLY the conclusion my dh and I have come too hun! Like the whole bread fiasco! People have been baking and eating bread for years!!! We think it all boils down to get your butt moving! walk, exercise! In old times it was literally a chore just to survive! Go fetch your water, go milk the cow, go kill the chicken, etc, etc. People need to get moving! I have also read the best way to prevent diabetes is to start walking!!! And briskly! That is another reason why I moved my minutes average up this month from last month.

I barely slept last night (and as a new mom I cant afford that) and it did cost me my morning workout

I know what ya mean. I have been involved in many forums and the drama sometimes can be annoying. Sometimes it is best to just state your case, and step back. Let the pieces fall where they may. :hug:

Those of you from the previous TG challenge have heard the other side of the paper when I'm talking good about him . It's just that the little things are getting to me. He cleaned his computer desk today. But only because he had to. He spilled a bunch of pop on his electronics, and even then he only cleaned the area where it spilled. Grr. Then yesterday he left the step ladder RIGHT IN FRONT of the fridge (the cupboard of junk food is right above the fridge). He's been doing things like that a lot. Leaving the step ladder out, leaving cupboard doors open when getting dishes, or things from the pantry. Leaving dishes on his desk, and the list goes on. It's starting to wear VERY thin. Anyway, the other day I tripped over the step ladder, so when he pulled it out today, I asked him to make sure it was put away when he was done, and he got all snotty in my face. Like, "Well, I hate having to take the step ladder out every time I want something from that cupboard. I'm just going to move it all back." ARG&^*W%E*&R%WE*&R%W$E%%&^%&^$^#%#@$#@&^
The whole freaking reason I moved that crap out of the pantry was because every time I saw it, I was triggered to binge.
Like, you are either with me or against me, ya know?
And I know tomorrow I won't feel this bad, I'm just crabby because he has been home from work 2 days in a row, and this is usually "me" time. This is when I exercise, tidy up the house, and watch my A&E shows. But instead I'm stuck watching him play video games and making a mess.

GO TO FREAKING WORK! YOU AREN'T REALLY SICK! TRY GOING TO BED EARLIER!

Awww sweetie! That is annoying. I think you need to sit down and have a heart to heart with him. Remind him why you are doing this! So you can be healthy and live with him a long time! WOuld it help to have a locked cabinet he has the keys to that is lower?
