I was 143 this week... darn! i knew last week's weigh in had to do with dehydration!

the wireless at my house has been on and off all week and I had a guest visiting. I didn't eat very well BUT I didn't binge at all, so I'm happy with that. I'll have to try to catch up with all the posts!

hey everyone....yesterday was really good....but today.....oh dear not good at all but hopefully i can pull it together tomorrow! i hope everyone else is having a good weekend!

Hey chicks! Sorry I've been MIA. Just when I was really hopping back on the wagon after a terrible TOM, I got the flu. I've felt like crap for the past 5 days. I feel better today though, so no more excuses!! I will get this rump into shape. I promise I WILL weight in this Thursday! No matter if I get smallpox! Thanks for keeping me motivated guys.

hEATHer.. You crack me up, love the letter to TOM :)

tigger.. dont worry about overeating if it was just once in a great while, shake it off :D

iris :hug: good job not binging!

haley.. my wweekend food wise was not so great either.. TOMs coming and that means eating is not fun lol

glasgal.. hope you feel better still :)

Hey there,

Jillnicole and Haley-I didn't do very well this weekend either. I had the best of intentions, and they all fell apart. We'll get it back together, though.

THE Heather-I totally agree with your letter!

tigger-good job on eating vegan while at your friends house. I'm sure it was difficult, especially if you're with strangers who just don't understand this lifestyle.

Glasgal-hope you're feeling better! Being sick is awful!!

iris- It's always difficult to eat right when there are houseguests around. We had company for a week in July and they went sightseeing every day. I didn't go because I had too much schoolwork, but for some reason that didn't stop me from munching all day long. I guess it was because I'd bought special foods for the guests, and since it was stuff we don't usually have in the house, I went crazy. Luckily we rarely have guests!

Chickpea-how's the WW going?

summerkate-how was the vegan ice cream?

Anyway, I did finish 14 days out of my 21 day exercise challenge. So that's something, at least.

I'm feeling kind of cranky today. I was feeling it a bit last night, but I woke up at 4am thinking of all sorts of things that just really made me mad. It's really too soon for PMS.

Alright, have a great day everyone!

Darby1- good job of completed 2/3 of your exercise goal!

next week is TOM and the week before is when i retain the volume of the atlantic ocean. and i doesn't help that i have a big accounting test on thursday and tomorrow im getting back my history test and thursday im getting back my math test, the anxiety really eats me up lol and so i eat! lol

Darby :hug:

i saw on yahoo that U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that burlington, vt is the healthiest town/city with the lowest rate of obesity oh great now i really feel like the odd woman out, although technically i live in south burlington so i guess im exempt. well id like to dispute their findings there is no way burlington is the healthiest!

summerkate-how was the vegan ice cream?

Thanks for asking:)

I didn't end up getting any. The city where my brother goes to school is huge; the town that I go to school in is small. I didn't realyl think about how he would get there (he doesn't have a car but takes the bus everywhere). He missed the bus and Im bad with directions in a city, so by the time we finally got to him, none of us felt like driving much. We ended up eating at an irish pub. The weekend was AWESOME. I loved catching up with my siblings. However, food/exercise went horribly and I think Its almost TOM. I may have gained this week.

just got back from jogging 4 miles which considering how badly i ate last week i was pretty surprised i was able to lol.

i got back the results of the biopsy and they couldnt tell if it was benign or not wtf so my options are to have it removed so they can see all of it and then they'll be able to tell what it is or have to go back for ultrasounds twice a year for 5 years which really sounds like a hassle....i just want it dealt with you know, so in a few weeks ill get set up for my appt with the surgeon....at least i'll be knocked out lol

Thanks for the well wishes guys! I feel much better today and I made black bean burgers. That always makes me feel better. :)

summerkate you are funny... :-) I had some peanut butter & chocolate soy icecream today and it was yummy

Hi guys! I LOVE soy icecream! I just hate how expensive it is (Im soooo cheap!) So, I try to make my own junk food but unfortunately Im a horrible cook!
Yesterday I made vegan peanut butter banana cupcakes. They came out of the oven looking PERFECT and I was so proud of my first ever perfect baked thing. I had one and it was absolutely delicious. Then, later in the evening I started preheating the oven to make dinner. 5 minutes later I started to think "WOW! That oven preheating smells delicious for some reason!" Then I realized that I had put my perfect cupcakes in the oven to hide them from my cat when I went out. I burnt them to a crisp! Sad.....I always manage to break my cooking somehow.
Today I had my first day of a mommy and me fitness class. I thought it would be a nice leisurely way to excersize 3 days a week to mix up my cardio. HA! It was a complete butt kicking for an hour straight! I know it was great for me because my abs hurt so bad....I love the days the I exercise so much that I realize that I do have abs under this fat!
Well, that is my random addition to the forum. Its good to hear all you girls are doing great!

erinmagill,

Those muffins sound really yummy, that sucks!

Just a quick pop-in girls. I ate and drank a bit too much this weekend but nothing horrible.
Damn scales about gave me a heart attack (in a good way). I hopped on and they said 189 - knew this wasn't right so I got back on and I was back to normal. I'm not sure what happened but it was nice to see and a bit of a motivation to stay on track so I can see that number and lower for real!
