Over 200 New year New Me Part 23

RedneckWmn

Thanks everyone This is one of the great things about this group... usually at this point my brain is trying to convince me that we "can't can't can't can't". But now I actually feel GOOD about my 1.6

Julie - have a great time this weekend and next week!

In regards to the EFX incident... I've got one for you: Yoga class. Downward dog. Cue COMPLETE EMBARRASSMENT. Needless to say, I had to find another class to go to (thankfully, that class was in Ohio so I don't have to worry about seeing that instructor anymore)

Teresa

:laugh: :laugh: I needed a chuckle this morning! And you should be proud of your 1.6. That's my loss on a GOOD week! Hopefully once I get started again my body is ready to burn some fat!!!

elmox-You rock!!! You are just blowing through those numbers girl! Have a great weekend. Enjoy yourself!


So I had a complete blonde moment this morning. I will start by saying I grew up in a small suburb north of Dallas. I didn't venture out to Dallas much. Very little. Well my roommate and I moved to North Dallas back in August. Not really familiar with this area. I was taking my dog to a new groomers this morning a co worker referred me to and I was leaving, I got lost. Yep. I got LOST!! Couldn't figure out where I was to get to work. Thank goodness for GPS!! DUH JESSICA!!

Jess - Don't feel bad..I was born in Irving and grew up there, but today anywhere but Irving or where i Live now i totally get lost...don't even get me going downtown...i can never freaking find may way around and usally get lost :sad:

cris20056

Yay! Great losses this week!

Julie- CONGRATS! I hope you have a fantastic day today!!! HAPPY WEDDING! :drinker:

Jess- I guess I have lots of blonde moments cause I get lost going down my own street, I swear direction is just not my thing. I got a GPS for christmas and still get lost...go figure! lol....usually I tune the lady telling me where to go out and keep going and I pass the place Im supposed to turn :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ...you get good at tuning out when you have kids

Not weighing in until I restart monday but the scale is lower today. I find that my mind is rejecting a lot of the foods Ive eaten this week. I "wanted" to make bad choices but the thought of eating that crap made me sick so I didnt eat it. Weird and exciting at the same time! I hope to someday really really hate all things that are bad for me, this is a good start :flowerforyou:

Have a great weekend everyone!

Congrats to the biggest losers so far: LItdeb, tstout, litspy, Elmox, and Cogilr…Job well done!!!

Litspy/Julie: Have lots of fun on your honeymoon…Scott (I think that’s his name) is a lucky guy! And your ring looks gorgeous!

Ann: Do not feel bad about the junk food. The good thing is you acknowledged it and moving towards the right direction. I know you can do this. Every single day is a struggle for me too; especially since my children are mostly home, (Monday will be there last day of school).

Blue: I am one that has that incident while on the elliptical or treadmill, not sure why, maybe because I am somewhat relaxed and it slips..LOL
You always make me giggle..Love ya girl!

Cogirl: have fun camping!

I hope I got everyone sorry if I didn’t. I have not had a good night sleep in three days…son is still sick and I think I have what he has…I am so tired and weak…I didn’t exercise yesterday because I felt really tired and wanted to sleep instead of exercise…

Cris-I am TERRIBLE with directions as well. I can get around in my hometown cause it's so small but that's about it. Moving to Dallas really screwed with me! Glad to hear you are getting your groove back!

POS Me-Hope you get to feeling better. Don't you dare workout, rest! Only cause I said so!

Co Girl-We will miss you! Have a blasty blast!!


Has anybody had Tofu? Is it any good?

meokk

Wowza... huge losses elmox and cogirl...WTG

Hi NEw people, Tstout, anyone else?
There is NO WAY I can read back through the last 2 weeks of posts. Did I miss anything big ?????
Dying for juicy gossip.

So I spent most of the past 2 weeks in the French countryside with loads of straight men...FUN!!
I work in an industry that is dominated by women and gay men so all that testosterone was a big change for me.
Even though I am happily engaged, it was fun to have all these young, cute guys flirting with me. I guess I must be looking a little bit hot. The best part was that they all kept asking me what I was studying in College :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: LOVE THAT!!!! I left college 13 years ago !!!!!:bigsmile:

meokk

Is anybody else on here soccer crazy?!?!?!?
I can't get enough, USA should have just won that last game but I have to root for England at least while we are in the same group.

Can't wait for the England/Algeria game this afternoon.

Who knows!? :laugh: Apparentley I'm too "busy" and scare people off. I feel my dedication to working out intimdates people. And I'm not going to let a boy stand in my way. So..:laugh: The one that I was interested in that was okay with my "busy" schedule seemed to of fallen off the face of the Earth. We were texting Saturday night about plans on Sunday. The last text I received from him was what his plans were Sunday and haven't heard from him since. What can I say? I attract the weird ones!

lildebbie

I am soo ready for 4:30 to roll around...I am soo ready for this weekend to get started!!!!!

I am soo excited 2 more weeks then I get to go to the beach for a "mini" vacation....i can't wait...now if i can just get these 4 lbs off before then it will be great...would love to hit 50 before I go. Good thing my sister and brother in law don't eat bad, they eat very healthy (she lost probalby like 60 lbs a few years back) and she knows we are trying too so i don't think a lot of tempations.

Serena is very excited about going to the beach, they never have been...wish it wasn't the gulf and a pretier ocean but maybe another time.

cris20056

meook- I missed you!!! I still appreciate a little male attention even if I am engaged too...:laugh: :laugh: no one has hit on me since he put that big ole rock on my finger though :explode: :grumble: hehe jk...not mad, but I'd still like to get hit on sheesh...as far as what you missed...hmmm I went through a lot...fell off he wagon hard plan on getting back on track monday...

awestfall- I know we can do this, we are back at it, let's do it!

World Cup- I was born and raised in Brasil...I was 8 when I moved to the USA but I never developed that soccer craze...its huge in Brasil and I'll be cheering for them...a win is a big deal for the country economically and seeing as my family is still there I'd love it if things became slightly better for them financially

Hey Cris, missed you too. Sorry about your troubles. I take it you are doing better now ?? Glad you are back with us anyway, to me it's like you never left The group would not be the same without you.
I moved here when I was 14 but I definitely have the soccer bug.
Go Brasil !!!!!! I would much rather they win than Argentina, :laugh: :laugh:

RedneckWmn

Haha...thanks Meokk! I would definitely be down for that! I'm all about traveling new places!

So I was watching TV last night, I watch way too much lately. Can't wait till I can workout. Have I mentioned that!?

ANYWAYS! I saw a commerical for the Nordic Trac that has Jillian Michaels as a personal trainer programed in the treadmil some how. I'm sorry but I think it looks so neat! It has all these different features. I want one!

AGREED! Benefit of working from home! (Also can be a disadvantage to my work that needs to be done). That disallowed goal against the US was complete bollocks! We totally should have one that game

Also! I just bought a Farmer's Market Salad from Starbucks and all of it INCLUDING dressing it's only 230 calories! WOO! AND! I just zipped and buttoned a pair of jeans that haven't fit me in a veerrrry long time. They aren't quite public ready (darned super low cut jeans...) but! I was able to put them on sans jumping around for 20 minutes and praying the zipper would hold.

Yes Cris we can do this and we are!! I am holding myself accountable again for everything I eat,drink and exercise too.Hopefully I will have lost the 10 pounds that I have seemed to gain in the course of 2 weeks before I go to the beach around the 4th of July.I must stay focused I know I can get some of it off before I go to the beach on July 3rd and then I hope to lose some while I am there so I can be somewhat close to my goal of being under 200 before my 30th birthday.I want this so bad!!

:drinker: :drinker: HOORAY!!! I LOVE WHEN YOU GET TO THAT POINT!!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Although jumping into tight jeans and wiggling around for 20 mins IS good excercise :laugh:

Well to my surprise this morning I was down 1/2 lb!!! Finally the scale moved!! So this morning since I have been up I have mowed for 45 mins, did weeding, edging, and raking for an hour and a half. It was hot but I got it done. I was sweaty mess after all of that! Then after taking a shower I ran up to Lowe's and bought flowers to plant. I am so not the gardening type so hopefully with me putting them in pots that I can keep them alive. I am on a "making my house look pretty" kick. Let's see what the hubby says when he gets home. :laugh:

Julie - HAPPY WEDDING DAY!!! Have lots of fun on your honeymoon!!!

Cris - Glad you are feeling better!

Everyone else - I did read everything but all that sun and heat must have gotten to my head. YEA for all of those that have lost so far this week. The ones that didn't it will be here real soon, next week the is losses in sight!!

Well, gotta go plant those flowers and do laundry. Be back!

raiderape

I just noticed that my ticker hit 20 lbs lost!! I know I really still have .5 lbs before I really hit it but that is exciting!! I told myself that when I lost 20 lbs that I would get my haircut!! I know it is silly but it has been a very long time since I have gotten it done. So hopefully I can lose the .5 lbs and then some so when I get paid in July I can go get my hair done!!!!

Heather - I know you and I didn't have THAT much fun, bu hey, maybe in some sort of cosmic balance our 4lb gains helped Llmox and CoGirl lose their 4 lbs? And since ours is just water and "whatnot" it's a net LOSS for the group!

Work has been insane! (but awesome) my brain is fried so I'm heading for home!

awestfall

I definitely know that putting on Spanx is a workout in itself!! On a good note gals I have not overate today I exercised for 45 minutes and I feel like I am back in control now lets hope I can make it through tonight and the rest of the weekend without going nuts.Wish me luck lol!!

HeatherMN

I finally caught up on the reading. Whew! I won't have computer access again until Sunday night or Monday evening.

Julie: By now you're probably a married woman, so congrats! Have a wonderful honeymoon. Oh, and your ring is gorgeous!!

Cris: I am SO glad to see you back and stalking with full force. It sounds like we're in a similar situation with lacking motivation and eating whatever we want. We'll get back on track together and get the heck out of the 190s!

Jess: Have a blast two-steppin' this weekend with your fabulous boots. I'm wearing mine right now...That Women's Race that you sent the link for sounds like an awesome time and I love that it benefits Down Syndrome. We should do it next year!

bluenote: Thanks for the giggle about the flatulence on the elliptical. I've done it before, when I belonged to the gym and just made sure to keep going without giving away that it was me. I just hoped everyone thought it was someone else.

This weekend, I'm going to really try to focus on getting back on track with the eating and exercise. I truly WANT to be smaller and healthy but for some reason I'm in a funk. I'm thinking it was because I was bummed about my reduced hours and now knowing what I "want to be when I grow up." I found a short term solution to the money issue and am praying that we get our normal hours back soon. Who ever thought I'd actually want to work more? Trust me, it's strictly financial! I'm actually enjoying having to be at work less...now if I could only find the financial resources to work part-time permanently.

To give an example of how truly off track I've been, I sat and watched the weather and clouds for a half hour before I decided to drive in a tornado watch across town to get Dairy Queen. Yep, insane, right? To top it off, even though I knew the Blizzard was 800 calories and that I didn't have any calories left to eat, I still ate it. As I was telling myself I shouldn't eat it. And thought about how I've gained FOUR pounds this week. Whoa, intervention is needed.

But, I can't get mad, I can only get myself back in control. I don't want to just hang onto the wagon as it passes by but I want to be driving from the buckboard!

We all have our moments. I know that even though I don't have calories some day I still get something sweet. I am trying to stop doing that. That could have been my problem for not losing weight the last few weeks. I know that you can do it. This weekend is a great time to get back on track!!

Positively_Me

Hello girls,

Heather and Ann: I have also been in a funk. And I was given myself the same (somewhat) pep talk...everyone is passing me by on the band wagon while I am on the side of the road not wanting to get a grip or stay on...I am good for the most part of the week and then fall off and find myself trying to get back on again. I have to stop this ongoing cycle I keep puting myself through. I have to learn to stay on and not let go. I don't want to go gain/lossing the same 40 pounds...I know how miserable I was when I was 40 or even 10 pounds heavier and I don't want to go there again. So for me, this weekend I WILL stay on track...Focus on eating healthier, nutritious foods..along wiht a light exercise. We can do this!

elmox: have a safe trip

Meokk: We miss you, welcome back!

I forgot what else to say...I am so tired. I have been weeding and planting stuff in my garden. Plus, I did a light workout.

Check in:
calories: under, finally...Hopefully I stay on track...
exercise: 15 minutes elliptical, 15 treadmill, and 60 gardening..600+ caloreis burned!
water: 64 oz...I need to drink more.
proud: nothing really. My brain is drawling a blank...maybe a blonde moment...LOL

have a great nite girls!

Hopefully I will try to check back during the weekend.
