I am so glad for your post...since I lost 2 pounds on tuesday, I feel like I have just gone backward and not forward...eating what i know I shouldn't I didn't go to the gym today and I shgould have...I need to get back on....ok, I can do this,,,,no I WILL DO THIS!!!
Thats sometimes how it goes, mom.....but we all have to make the best choices possible. I was in a funk earlier in the week for a couple of days and then....just taking one meal at a time...(baby steps) and then another and another got me on track. Just do what you can!! Sometimes I am sooo focused on losing weight, that I lose sight of the bigger picture.....getting healthier and being happier with myself. IT WILL COME!!!
Hi guys been gone for the weekend.Sounds like some of you are down alittle in spirit. Thayt is ok pick yourselfs up and keep going> We are only human. I did so much damage this weekend for my bday, but I enjoyed it soooo much.Today I am back on track and even got up to work out at the gym at 8 am. I got it in and I feel great. I do not care if I gained this weekend as long as it is gone next week. So if it is not I will be b@#$%^&*.Anyway we all have ups and downs and we will lose that weight. Have a terrific day ladies. Good luck this week to all of your weigh ins.
Welcome back....djmommy!!! I wondered where you went to!! Happy (belated) Birthday Sorry I missed it, sounds like you really enjoyed it which is all that matters. Today is back to day #1 of OP though....no extended bdays HERE!!! lol
jenne.....How's the walking? Just keep going and doing what you're doing!!! Don't let HB break down and have that icecream... lol. Last night, dh wanted to go to DQ for their hamburgers and I said....sure go ahead, I'll stay here!! I just knew if I went, I'd just be heading for a icecream treat to beat all treats!!! Stayed home and stayed OP and this morning, the scale showed a nice loss.
Weighed in this morning... I lost another pound... will have to update my little tracker (I think that blasted thing is actually helping)... so I lost 9 pounds so far...
My goal for this challange is 10 pounds & I have one week to go...
One major snag tho... I lost my job Friday... & my daughter moved to New Mexico today... (she has been the one to stay close to home forever... I never thought she would EVER go....)
Food is an oh so powerful lure right now...
Well... since I don't have a job anymore... maybe I will get up really early tomorrow & head for "Pick Up The Pace"... that's like a Curves... it opens around 7am...
Also there are still a lot of trees & junk that have to be cleared... so if weather permits I will work on that for awhile...
& of course I can always start shoveling out the house... (working 46 hours a week allows very little time for house cleaning!!!!)
Thanks for listening... will check on y'all tomorrow... I'm SURE I will have some time!!!! MJ
I did horrible the last few days of the week and of course it showed on the scale today at weigh in. Up 2lbs. YUCK! So today is #1 OP for me. Im about to go get on my elliptical machine and pump up the ball for my Core Secrets. Ive decided that im going to do my elliptical on MON, WED, & FRI and my Core Secrets on TUES, THUR, & SAT. This should get me going on working out for right now until I can join some kind of gym. I agree with journaling. I do a lot better when I have to write everything down. So im back to doing that today also.
Walking went well. LOL HB has never had to really worry about weight so it's hard -- but she's really supportive so that's good.
I did well with eating this week -- getting some "bad" foods but only eating half and using veggies to supplement. I was so proud. No loss though but I will totally have one this week. I KNOW IT!!!
Angel eyes good job on choosing not to go to odq. That would have done me in too. Jenne, Smart girl wanting to walk to get ice cream, keep moving. If they want it bad enough they have to work for it too. Sparkels, jdo not turn to food, as easy as it is for me to say do not. You have come to far to go there. I know it is rough. I can not even imagine how hard it is. Heck I am having a hard jtime letting my little one go to 1st grade and he is only in K. I can not even imagine how hard it will be for me. Think of the great visits you will have with her. More one on one more personal. Think how happy she will be when she sees the new you. .... Anna do not be so hard on your self. Get back on track. I am sure I gained too. I just worked out even harder today and jyes. I am also eating a lot of jello. .............. I jsaw my Aunt this week and she asked if I lost weight. Whoo. I am so glad someone noticed. I am jgoing to see my mom in March . I really hope I drop some more by than.She knows how bad I want this.I did buy a new pair of jeans. A size smaller. Still have a ways to ogo but at least it is moving down. Anyway I ohope you all have a great week. Lets stay op the best we can Good luck
jenne..thats a great idea!
Angeleyes-- Thank you. Your encouragement is wotrth more than I can say...I will get there!
djmommy-- OI am glad you enjoyed your BD!! Your right...We all slip up...we'll do better next week.
MJ__ sorry about the loss of your job! I ma sure something new will come along for you (if thats what your wanting) your focised...thats gonna help in your weightloss journey!
naa...dont let the gain get you down...we just have to get back on, I am super positive my wi tomorrow is going to show a gain, but I know what I need to do...what is core secrets?
djmommy...great job on the new jeans...we will all get there. I am back on plan as of now......i also have my fiorst personal trianer appt at teh YMCA tomorrow...It can opnly get better from here? I am almost tempted to not weighin tomorrow but go to meeting, but I know I should so I will!! I am off to my Public Speaking class, tlak to you all soon!
I had a baaad week! I lost .6lbs so that is still good and I went to the meeting eventhough I didn't want to. I need to bust a move to make it to my groundhog goal! I hope everyone else isn't struggleing like me, I am having time of the month cravings....
Hello~ Been while~ I am still trying to get better from my abcessed tooth I had~ It got into my sinuses and taking forever to get out.Went to doctors this morning, i have sinus infection, ear infection and pink eye.
On a good note I weighed in tonight~ I lost 1.5 pounds~ I am at 21 pounds lost now
Sounds like I can jump on the wagon! I had a horrible week and gained 2 pounds. What did I learn from this... well, if you eat anything and everything your little heart desires for a week and don't journal a single point or earn up to your choices.... the scale will get even and then so will your conscience!!! I feel sick adn guilty!!! So... this week it's all about getting back to basics. I know this plan works and I think I've been bothered lately by the fact that I was almost there once before and gained it all back... who's to say I won't do it all over again!?? But then again... I think this is a life long battle, so I'd best settle in for the long haul!!
On a good note... I had my OB/GYN appointment last week and we both agreed that as far as ttc goes we need to skip straight to IVF (been ttc for 5+ years). So, dh & I see the "super RE" from the main university on March 8th at my clinic. I can't wait... but I SOOOOO want to be much thinner. So... time to hit these goals and make them a thing of the past. I have 6 weeks to lose weight. I hope to lose 10-15 by then. I'd love to be in the 180s... that's 13 pounds. I CAN DO THIS!!!!
Sorry I've been MIA, but I swear I'm back and ready to cheer everyone on!!! I need you guys!! I realized after the past week of not checking in... just how much!
So I weighed in this morning at home instead of yesteray and according to my scale wich is what my tracker is based on I am down 2 more pounds since last week! I am going to go with tha rather than the 36 from the ww meeting, I was very bloated yesterday being that my aunt landed this morning.
Ladies..I am noticing that everyone seemed to have a difficult week so lets remember...DIET..Daily Intelligent Eating Technique...thats what activity points are for, if you are really hungry workout to cover what we have over indulged.
Trust me I worked out 4 times last week at high intensity and ate out 4 times at restuarants and ate baaad point value food and still lost because I made up for it in my activity..we can do this together!
Sorry I missed it, sounds like you really enjoyed it which is all that matters. Today is back to day #1 of OP though....no extended bdays HERE!!! lol 
and I said....sure go ahead, I'll stay here!! 
I just knew if I went, I'd just be heading for a icecream treat to beat all treats!!! Stayed home and stayed OP and this morning, the scale showed a nice loss.
