Good Morning Everyone

Rebel-I can relate to the whole scale thing. It's driving me crazy. I think I'm getting a little obsessed. Also its funny, my hubby and I had the same conversation a few weeks ago about new boobies. He was shocked to know that I was interested in that at all. I said I would have to wait until I hit my goal weight and see if I still feel the same way.

Stevi-Hope those feet of yours start feeling better. What a bummer. Just take it slow and easy. You don't want to be totally out of commission.

luluandstina-Your trip sounds fun and you're right you should LIVE IT UP! You deserve it. :beach:

brooke26-Welcome!:welcome2:

magdie-Hope you're still surviving the heat. Is you AC working yet?

ladynredd-I say go for it and get a new hairdo. I think Stevi has inspired me to also make a hairstyle change in the near future. Just not sure what I want yet. I have had short hair for so long and for the past 8 months I have been trying to let it grow out. We'll see.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic week so far.
Talk to you soon.

Hey you gals…I got my power back…we have been with out power for like 4 days…aarrggg..so I thought you know I will see if I can go online at work..because I missed you all…and I hate not being able to participate in our support group. How is everyone doing ? I went for my morning walk on my break…the weather here has been too hot to walk during my lunchtime…so at 10:00 am I go in the morning..tomorrow I will have my camera with me so I can start posting pictures for you all..I hope all is well…I will go on here sometime after lunch…((hugs))

Hey Jaya, glad to hear you're doing okay. We miss you too.
Good for you for walking. I think the heat is hard on a lot of us.

Hope everyone is having a great day. It's been pretty quiet around here lately.
Everyone alright?

I'm HERE!!!
Baby logan had his shots yest and has been relatively "high maintenance" since. His fever did not spike until last night and surpirsingly made him a lilttle goofy...it was cute...now he's just fussy. Prolly cuz he was up so much last night and isn't sleeping well today either. I haven't gone to exercise in 2 days...I'm going today. My foot feels 100% better. I just hope and pray I don't re-irritate it. Funny thing about the new boobies. I had already discussed this with DH and he was very supportive. I was joking around with him pulling the skin saying.."look, Honey!!" his response was " if you ever want to have "quality private time" again you'll stop doing that. I still think its funny!! Sorry if TMI. Anywho, I quit my job just recently and have recieved all my vestment plans to exercise info in the mail. I chose to cash out my 401K and exercise my options to pay off some bills....DH told me to keep whatever I need for the surgery! What a sweetie...I hadn't even thought of it. Geuss it REALLY grossed him out eh???:D

Hi everyone!

Today has been totally exhausting. I'm on my way to get a shower and then bed, but I just wanted to stop in and say hi! Hope everyone has a great Friday!

So far my friday is good. I am going to go for my walk in like 15 minutes on my break. I started something new...and it is sooooooooo tough..I am makingh sure that I dont eat dinner after 7:00pm and it is hard...I think it will help me keep away from doing the emotional eating. If you feel like you are just going to go nuts on eating just because ...take a walk it might help..I am finding it to help me. I started this new job right...well I feel like a blob as I am walking around these people are skinny minnys.....at first I felt like it was a slap in the face ....but now I am looking at it as a challenge..they are my incentives...to look good for myself. They are really nice people and you can tell they take care of themselves...so that is the way I started looking at it ..and it has helped me a lot. How is everyone doing? This afternoon I am going to work out at the minnie gym they have here at work onsite. Even though I am just a temp they said I could use it..so this month that I am here temping for this company...I am going to take the advantage and use it for my goal to my eating and excercise to lose weight.

Happy Monday!
 

Weigh-in day for me and another 3.2 pounds gone! :carrot:

Last night I went to a family gathering and ate small, reasonable amounts of unreasonable foods. lol The really interesting thing for me was my physical reactions afterwards -- I had to excuse myself from the conversation around the table and go lie down for a while, had a hard time keeping my eyes open (blood sugar crashed) and I also had bad acid reflux for the first time since embarking on my new way of eating. Hmmmm ... the light bulb is popping on over my head ...

Jaya, what a good idea to use the exercise facilities where you're working. I know for me it always shows a BIG attitude shift when I start looking for ways that I can do something instead of excuses why I can't. Attagirl!! :bravo:

Since today is the end of the month and we've got quite a series of pages going here, what does everyone feel about starting a new post tomorrow? Title could be "August New Challenge Who's With Me" or something similar?

Hey everyone! I'm back...after a break.

We got the apartment, YAY!!! LOVE IT! Can't wait to move in - will be Sept 22nd. I spent the past three days packing up my dorm room which I thought would be easy enough but turns out there was a LOT of stuff. I was throwing out clothes that didn't fit, weren't fashionable, had them too long etc etc just to reduce the packing. My sis was doing the same. We've been squabbling about things to buy and stuff for the past couple of weeks but we're better now. I think we were both PMSing and stressing about getting the apt because we loved it so much that we were taking it out on each other. Whatever though, we're ALWAYS squabbling really but she's my bestest buddy. :)

I had lunch with my best friend from college on Saturday and I had this pasta with cheese, jalapenos and chicken. I thought it was too creamy - this coming from the girl who LOVED chicken alfredo and could eat a vat of the stuff. I guess this healthy eating initiative is really taking root, eh? Oh well. So on Saturday morning, found out I skyrocketed to 166, came down to 164 on Sunday and this morning stayed at 164. Mmph. Two months ago, I would have killed to be this weight and now I want to get out of it...hehe :p
So how's everyone been?

Happy Monday Girls!

Hope eveyone had a great weekend. Mine was pretty quiet. Stayed inside most of the time because it is so hot here.

Sunni-Congrats on getting the apartment. It is so cool to see that you and your Sis are so close.

ladynredd-WTG on the weight loss.

Talk to everyone later.

Hi Everyone!

I having been posting in the last few days because my diet thing is not going too well and I've gained back the 2 pounds I lost and I have no motivation to exercise. I'm eating well today and I'll try to get back to the gym.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Hey all.....
Welcome back sunni....you are shinning bright today...that is great - congrats

Hey stevi- I just thought of something...you know how you dont want to hurt your foot anymore than it hurts you now....you might want to try lying down on your back and do the bicycle motion in the air...this way your feet are not touch the ground...and until it gets better maybe it will help and make you feel better and you will feel like you did some excersise...just an idea... :)

hey lady - CONGRATS on your weight loss...hehe..I am afraid to step on the scale..but I have been eating better and I think I am going to wait until the september 9th to weigh myself. I hope weight is gone by than...hahaha..

Hey gals...question- I love CHOCOLATE and every month your know ladies the visitor...what do you eat when you are craving....SWEETS...what helps..any suggestions...Chocolate is my weekness..hehehe... :)

Hey angel how are you doin?

Hey rebelgirl how you doing today?

Magdie-hang in their girl ..... you can do it ... !!! We are here for ya...!!

Oh by the way I am going to submit a photo here this evening when I get home...I cant believe I was able to spot this thing on a leaf...but you will have to see it....I will talk to you guys soooon...((HUGZ))

Hey Jaya, I think you can buy those little mini chockies at the grocery store. They're usually by the checkout counter. I know it's hard to buy just one but if you can deal with it, then that would be your best bet. Buying a bag is just torture in my opinion. What's the point of getting a big bag of mini chocolates, eating the whole thing when you could have had a regular size bar for fewer calories. Good marketing though.

I'm doing good today. I just need to get my exercise in for the day.

I've joined the August exercise committment, setting 500 minutes for the month as my goal. Not a whole lot, but more than I *have* been doing! Sooo, this morning I got up and did my 20-minute Turbo Jam tape for the first time. I'm doing the lower intensity version (no way am I levitating 247 lbs. off the ground! And let's not mention the bouncing breasts. :eek: ) but I made it through and kept the first installment of my committment! So I feel good. :carrot:

Sunni, enjoy your new apartment! I'm sure it will be cute when you get all moved in and settled. Just think, you have a fresh opportunity to make your home surroundings reflect YOU!

Made a trip to Trader Joe's yesterday, picked up more fresh fruit and the wonderful Armenian flatbread/cracker that I've fallen in love with. Also more hummus with olives to go on it. Yum! It feels so good to be eating this way -- very clean, if that makes sense ... like I no longer have sludge circulating through my body instead of blood.

Blah, blah, blah.
