PSB - Week 12 (New members always welcome)

tinabosquez

I am interested in this group. I have been reading for a few weeks but not posting. I hope to come back with all my info but first I have to admit it to myself before I can post it here. (How sad is it to be embarassed around a bunch of ladies who are dealing with the same stuff I am) I will get my stats together and be back later to post!

I really enjoy reading and I hope to stay motivated enough to come back daily!

Jaime, you do not HAVE TO do anything that makes you uncomfortable. You are welcome to post your weight if you feel it will be motivaltional to watch your progress in this tread every week. We aren't going to ask you to leave if you don't want to do that. Feel free to drop in for any reason (weigh in, join our challenges, or just chat). The thread is supposed to be supportive and motivational. No one will force anything out of you.

Except for Tina. I demand that she gets her azz in gear and posts more often. :laugh:

Oh Oh, I think I like being the exception....makes me feel so special, all warm and fuzzy inside.

Svey - Sorry I didn't mean to sound as if I would be pressured into doing anything - that isn't what I meant. What I meant was I know I am overweight and have been for awhile. I started a weightloss journey last year and in the first 3 months, I lost about 25lbs - well life got in the way and I let the excuses pile up next thing I know I am back here reading my old posts thinking I should be at me target weight, or at least VERY close, by now. I am embarassed only by my own actions - I am trying to pull my self back up and get on the wagon again. I appreciate this group and the mini challenges you set up for yourselves.

I will post my stats in the morning as I just got home from a walk - TOTALS: 51 min; in zone (124-140) 16.22 min; 293 cal burn


Tell you what it was kinda aggravating - I set out knowing I would walk at a brisk pace, so I did. I done this so I would get my hr up and burn more calories, at the end of the walk my husband says that was a nice leisure walk. I thought "you have got to be kidding me - I left you walking behind me so I could kick it up a notch and I was sweating and u tell me this was leisure." I don't even think he broke a sweat! UGH!!! (My husband, Mike, wasn't being mean or rude we actually stared the journey together last year and fell off together too. He started back about 4 weeks ago. He is working out right now as I type this post) The part that is so aggravating is how we can both pretty much walk the same pace and same distance and I am "working out" while to him it is "leisure". When we used to work out together I feel it was easier for him and so when he pushed it seemed he pushed harded than me and therefore had a much higher cal burn. I know men do that but still give a girl a break will ya :-) OK - I am off to read a book. I'll be back in the morning with my stats.

BTW - Thanks for listening to me ramble on and on! :laugh:

Jamie,
I am right there with you. When I was just starting out I would go for a walk with a co-worker probably at about a 3mph rate and she would ***** that I was walking too slow. Ummmm excuse me but I am not miss marathoner like she is. When I would tell her that she would be like that isn't an excuse. Yes it is when I am 240 5'5 and she is 140 5'9 there is a slight difference in how fast we can walk and get our heart rates up. I also didn't feel like going back into the office all sweaty. We are now too busy at work to do our walks and its also to freaking hot at 3pm which is when we used to do it. Some people just don't get it.

Another mile or so through airports and shopping in the afternoon. I did try to buy a bike today! The saleguy was a dip**** though and I just got frustrated and left.

I know that most people think it's a bad idea to weigh in every morning. I really do prefer it. No suprises good or bad on official weigh in day.

Having not been able to weigh in since last Sunday I was actually nervous to weigh in this morning. :laugh:

Good news though, I am down 2 lbs.

Okay, first, sorry I didn't post miles each day, I completely got that wrong, and have been saving my totals for just posting today. Will try to be more "active" in posting during the week next week! Here are my totals though now.

Monday: 5.3 miles
Tuesday: 5.5 miles
Wednesday: 5.5 miles
Thursday: 4.6 miles
Friday: 6 miles
Saturday: 3.1 miles
Sunday: Not sure yet, will probably go at least 2-4 miles today.

Total: 30 miles, not counting Sunday since I am not sure.

For my recipe- that's been a rough one, because mostly we just eat fruits/veggies/nuts/sprouts etc, and any actual recipe that I do uses a dehydrator and probably wouldn't be something most people would do. I decided to post one that's simple that I make a few times a week for DH and DS.

Raw Oatmeal:
1 cup steel cut organic oats (soak overnight in water)
2 TBSP Raw organic agave nectar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp himalayan or celtic sea salt
3 TBSP ground flax
1 TBSP raw organic almond butter

After soaking oats all night, drain excess water off. Add all ingredients to blender and blend until creamy. Serve immediately, or place in bowls in dehydrator at 105 degrees for about 2 hours.

And for my weight numbers:

Week 12 goal: 240 (-2.0)
Week 12 Actual: 238 (-4.0)

MFP Starting Weight 319 1/12/2010
PSB Starting weight: 242 6/13/2010
Current Weight: 238 6/20/2010

# lbs lost: 81
# lbs to go: 83

Hope everyone has a wonderful week! :flowerforyou:

I weigh everyday or every other day- it helps me see how my body reacts to what I have been doing to it or putting in it!
HUGE CONGRATS for 2 pounds lost! You are doing so awesome!
