    Thank you, Cris, for stalking me on Facebook. I was away from the internet over the weekend and had yesterday off work, but I promise, I wasn't pulling a disappearing act!

    Jess: I love the outfit in your pic....could you be more adorable? Good luck with guy #2. It's a good sign that he's already gotten approval from people you know and trust.

    Julie: Congrats again on your marriage and I'm so glad you enjoyed your honeymoon! I think it's awesome that hubby got you hooked up with the internet so you could at least check in while you were gone.

    ddakota: Welcome! I'm so glad Ann recruited you.

    Susan: Welcome! I'm happy to hear you're having success so far on your journey.

    Lauren: Thank you for the outdoor workout challenge. My sister and I did a 30 minute bike ride outside yesterday morning, so I completed the challenge without even knowing it! I'll try to fit another one or two outdoor workouts in this week. Your collage is awesome and you're doing so awesome! Keep it up!

    Cris: I agree with learning a lot about a guy by how he treats his family. My boyfriend's son was 4 years old when we met and he was such an adorable, sweet, caring dad that I was hooked!

    Meokk: Have a safe trip to Waikiki! I'm not too jealous of this trip, since I've been there and liked Maui so much better. Even so, make sure you get to soak up some sun!

    Raider: Make sure you go to the original Schlitterban and not the smaller second one they've opened near Kansas Speedway. I've been told that one is a dive and so not worth the cost of admission.

    Okay, so I know I was supposed to start fresh and behave over the weekend but it didn't go so well. The positive is that I did go for a bike ride yesterday, which is a step in the right direction. The eating was terrible again, though. I can't seem to stay away from the ice cream and the four pounds that I gained in the past week are still hanging on. Today is a new day, and although I'm not perfectly on track today (I blame TOM!), I can still salvage the day as long as I have a sensible dinner. I think the boyfriend planned on making grilled porkchops today, so we should be okay...IF I can avoid the ice cream.

    Day 2 of awesome eating and my tummy already feels much better!!! Instead of dining out yesterday when I had to take my husband to the doctor I packed a picnic lunch for my family and we ate at the park.Sandwiches and fruit YUM!! So I am proud we didn't stop at McDonalds like we usually would have.My husband is completely on board too now he helped me go for healthy foods only even when the kids asked for chips and other things we both said no and stuck to the good stuff.YAY!!
    Julie congrats on being a newlywed

    awestfall - great job with food choices at the picnic! I am glad to hear your hubby is on board with it, too.
    lildeb - your girl's birthday party is on my birthday, July 17th! Eeek! Did you have to remind me it is only three weeks away? :sad: :laugh:

    I don't think I told you all about my breakdown at physical therapy last week. :embarassed: I am embarrassed about it, but what's done is done, right? :frown: Silly me thought that since I was *all that* with hills mode on the bike, I could show off for my PT and ride the hills mode for fifteen minutes before his grueling one hour PT session. Yeah, silly me. I was tired after fifteen mins of the bike, then I went and had a brutal session with him! Well, he is starting to have me do some new balancing and strengthening exercises, which always scare me at first because I am PETRIFIED OF FALLING. I have such horrendous balance that, when put in a situation where I even *think* I may fall, I freak out. So I accomplished the first exercise, which was sliding a foot behind me while bending over and touching (not holding! I had to lightly touch the damn thing) a box in front of me. I didn't like it, but I did OK. So I thought, well, cool, I am exhausted and I'm finished and I did it, it's all good.

    Not so fast, my sisters of the traveling weight loss pants. I was nowhere near finished. Then he has me go on this manual treadmill and walk backwards on it, in a LOW squat position, being held up only by my hands on the bars on both sides of me. *I* had to PUSH the treadmill to make it move. Well, I guess my fatigue and anxiety got the best of me, because I started spewing out curse words like a sailor and telling the whole world that there was NO WAY IN HELL I was gonna do this because NO ONE HERE KNOWS WHAT'S IT'S LIKE TO HOLD UP 400 POUNDS. Yeah, I sort of had a 6-yr-old tantrum with adult language. :embarassed: The entire place stopped and looked at me like I was a crazy bag lady that had wandered in a PT place and got my fat *kitten* up on a manual treadmill before security found out. I think they thought my next move was to hold them all hostage. Ugh. I was out of my mind! I am not kidding! It was bad! :noway:

    Needless to say, that WAS my last exercise for the day! :ohwell: Note to self: if you want to get out of PT early, just throw a 6 yr-old tantrum, curse like a sailor, and act like a crazy bag lady.

    Blue- :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: stop it! You're killing me!!!

    I got 3 free PT sessions for winning the biggest loser at the gym and I am scared to death to cash them in. I told myself that I would use it if I ever got "stuck"....like working out eatring well and not losing, a PT session or 3 would get my metabolism moving again....only problem is that they expire in August, so I better use it soon!

    Deb - Glad that you got things planned. One less thing to have to worry about getting done!

    Nancy - You made me laugh! Sorry that PT was bad but the next time it will be better.

    Cris - Don't let those PT sessions go to waste!! Maybe just use 1 every other week starting next week and then you will be done with them by the first of August and you won't feel overwhelmed. Just a thought.

    Ann - Great Job on the picnic. I am with Cris, I probably would have gone to McD's. Sounds like you are back on track and doing great!! Keep it up!

    Heather - Glad you didn't disappear on us!

    BLue - I am sorry but i was cracking up laughing.,..i really don't mean to laugh at your expense..but i can just picture it

    Cris - WTG on winning the PT session, i would use them definetly before they exprire, you could do 1 a month or like raider said an do one every other week

    Okay..i kicked my own but at the gym today :smile: before i went to the gym i got on the scale and it 270.8 soooo close to 26's i can taste it...so i went on the arc trainer thingy ( i call it a thingy cause dh says it is really a arc trainer but it is freaking close enought) anyway, i usally do the interval then bumpup the resistance a little...today i thought i would try the "heart rate "mode ..

    YOu put what you want your HR to be and the time, and it increases/decreases so that you stay around that hrm..so did, it was a 3 min warm up (like at 3 resistance) ,then 45 minutes ,at points i got up to 12 (the highest resistance i had done before was 7 and that was breifly). most of the 45 minutes it would go from like 8 - 11, 1/2 way through i was thinking no way i am going to finish this..i did stop 2x for like 30 seconds as my ankle was hurting a little but then got back into doing it...

    I was soo proud of my self, burning 460 calories...yes 160 calories more than doing the same amount of time (minus 3 minutes) YESTERDAY!!

    i came home and had left over low fat burgers we made last night, and ate it on a lettuce bun (that is my new fav by the way), i feel soo great !!!!!

    Blue thanks and you are always making me laugh and I love that about you.My birthday is July 13th so I know its not far off.I will be the big 30 this year YICKS!!! This is one reason why I want to be healthy from here on out.I want to be fit and healthy in my 30's and put my 20's behind me and forget that I was unhealthy and FAT in my 20's and LOVE my 30's.

    Deb - WTG!!! You did awesome at the gym!!! I really need to get myself in gear if we are doing this together!! I haven't really budged and you are coming to surpass me. Now don't get me wrong, I want you to do well and you are doing that!! I plan on doing the wii boxing when I get home since my heel is still recovering from a blister that I rubbed on it yesterday. I just wish I could burn more when doing it. I burn around 200 in 20 mins but the prepared workouts don't go longer. At least not at where I am at, I really need to figure that out. Oh well, one of these days I will get it where I want it.

    Checking in! Wow has it been a crazy day! I often wonder... and I probably have said this before... if I am in a place where I work with the dumbest/laziest/unorganized people on the planet.

    My brain feels twice baked after today... and it's not even over yet! :explode:

    Working on lots of water today, I'm at 48 oz right now. Hoping to get another 32 at least.

    Cris - The PT sessions are totally worth it! I worked with a trainer a few years ago (aka "skinny days") and I loved it. It just got too expensive for me. At the very least, you will get some good workout ideas to use on your own!

    UGH I really hate two faced people!!~!~ My ex-husband was cruel and mean to me for almost 2 years before I decided to divorce his *kitten*.So he adds me to his facebook as well as his current wife.I am a very forgiving person so I kept them on my friends list.Well my ex emails me on facebook and tells me he is sorry for the way things ended and that he wishes he could have saved our marriage (basically he emotionally abused me for close to 2 years and some physical)Now the *kitten* is going around telling my friends and family that the reason we divorced was because he couldn't have kids.BS BS BS !!!!! I left his *kitten* cause he couldn't keep a job and he was lazy and sorry excuse for a man.Besides that I have the man of my dreams now and we have been together for 8 years and happily married for 7 years this May(2010) I really could care less what he thinks or says but for me to be so forgiving and trying to be nice and talk to them when they talk to me but no more.I am deleting their *kitten* from my account and I hope I never hear from them again.I hate stupid people and I really try not to hold a grude but my ex's crazy *kitten* wife emails me last night on facebook and tells me shes pregnant.Like I care !!! I don't even know her I have never seen her before in my life and I just can't understand why someone that I don't even know or ever talked too before would tell me they are pregnant.If its some jealous thing for her to say to keep me away from my ex FINE I don't want his sorry *kitten* I can tell her that to her face.I feel like this is high school drama the onlyt difference is that we are grown and married and I have children and they are expecting one.I so dont; care anymore I think I am just going to delete their dumbasses and tell them to Screw themselves and leave me alone and stop trying to cause drama that I am not interested in .What do you gals think?

    Teresa - I know how it is. I feel that way at my job too sometimes. Really are things so difficult that you can't do the little things right? Hope it gets better!!

    Ann - I would totally delete them!! You don't deserve anything they try to wave in front of your face. They are probably jealous of you because you have a wonderful marriage and beautiful children!! There is no reason to keep them on FB at all!!!
  • lildebbie
    lildebbie Posts: 2,068 Member
    ann- OMG!!! I would delete them in a heartbeat with a nice message of screw you..you can keep your childish games.. you have every right to be ticked i would too

    Raider - you will get going , I know it !!! i haven't gotten my wii out in ages...well since we joined the gym, i am it sure it feels neglected..kinda want to get on for it just to tell me i have lost weight :smile:

    lildeb- CONGRATS! You dont know how proud of you I am, you are pushing yourself so hard, I hope you are in the 260's by friday!

    I will use the PT sessions- they actually expire Aug 30 if I am correct. I plan on using it before then

    checking in:
    calories- 1164
    water- need more but yes...
    sodium- 2100
    excercise- 0
    proud- im starving and i didnt eat....i think its pms.

    I plan on working out 3-4 times per week so im ok with not having gone in today. I have spin class thursday, and im sure i can get another 1-2 gym days in

    lildebbie Posts: 2,068 Member
    Cris - thanks :happy: It is soo weird to hear people tell me they are "proud", "inspired", "encourged" (which i have heard often lately), i would of never thought that, i have always been the non-motivated person...it feels good :smile:

    I want to do pt sessions but go no $$$, just to get a couple so they can show me some stuff..our gym has a new member thing, to try and get people to not join and drop out, so you get points for different things, and at the end of 6 months you can reedeem them for rewards...a couple of them is PT sessions...that is what i am working for :smile: you get like points if you go at least 4 x a week (which i got), then if you go 100 days in 6 months , etc...of course that won't be till december, but know knows after christmas i will probably need a PT

    I have been bad on my water today..not drinking soda or anytning just not drinking enough water.. i had a little shy of 60oz (funny i used to say bad water day was "0" and not 60).

    I think TOM is right around the corner...I am happy and not happy about it...Happy that it won't ruin my vacation next week, if it can come and go before we leave i will be happy...but not happy cause i really don't want it to come at all...but it may be why i was soo bloated the last few days, 5000MG of sodium on sat + TOM could really be my issues the last few days.

    hello gals.. I am officially back from the mountains and plan on getting back into my routine starting 1st thing in the morning with the "skinny Wednesday" challenge. Taking the time off from working out and eating not so healthy food and sitting around the campfire eating smores was not the kindest thing I could have done. I am up 4lbs. :grumble: and have no one to blame but myself. So, now I have to hold myself accountable!

    I guess MaMMA2FOUR WILL NOT be coming back anytime soon. :frown: I am going to miss her. From what I understand her family is needing her right now and is taking precedence.

    I am not changing my ticker until Friday, we will see what the numbers are that day.

    Any way, it is always great to be home and have your house back. Family left today and although their visit was nice, it was also nice to see them go home. I am sure you understand what I mean about that.

    Well, I need to attempt to get some computer work done before I head to bed. So, I will see you ladies in the morning with my workout shoes on! :wink:

    Good evening my weight loss sisters,

    Here we go!

    raider-Have you ever been to Schlitterbahn!? It's sooo awesome!
    I love going there! I was telling my cousin today that we need to play a trip to go

    LilDebbie-That place is cheap! The one I'm going to is about 18 a night. But yes Petmsart is most definitely
    EXPENSIVE!! I think that password protected diary sounds like a good idea for your daughter. She could start
    journaling everything she is feeling and going through. Good job kicking your own butt at the gym! How about you
    come kick mine for me? HAHA!

    Heather-So glad to see you around! Sounds like you are crazy busy at work with them cutting your hours back.
    Busy is good though! Good luck avoiding the ice cream. You will get there! mmm..grill pork chops sound delicious!

    awestfall-Way to go on the picnic lunch! That is so awesome!! Glad you are feeling better!

    blue-Sounds like you had quite the session!! Maybe your break down was a break through? Sory you had to go through
    that though. HUGS!

    Cris-The PT session are very intimidating. I remember when I had mine but I would definitely take advantage. They
    could give you some great pointers.

    ColoradoGirl-You will be suprised how quickly that 4 pounds goes away! It's probably you retaining water. Did you
    talk to momma? Glad to hear you had a nice camping trip.

    Momma-If you are reading this we are going to miss you! Take care of yourself! You are such a strong woman.

    Whew. I think I got everybody. I had a nice relaxing day at the water park. I drank a TON of water. I haven't had
    that much in, weeks! Felt good. We hung out in the lazy river a lot. Had a huge mexican lunch/dinner. Don't know
    how many calories I consumed though. But I am trying to be productive tonight and I have done 4 loads of laundry
    and cleaned up the apartment. I WILL get up in the morning and go to the gym! I'm going out with gym #2 tomorrow
    night so I must go in the morning. I MUST MUST MUST! He's taking me to a mexican cantina. MORE MEXICAN FOOD!! HAHA.
    Gotta be good. I been splurging and it ends tomorrow. YES YES YES! This post is already huge so I will quit rambling.
    Talk to you soon!

    06.22.10
    Calories: 1388 (goal 1381)
    Exercise: Just grocery shopping at 2 different stores after work. I didn't have time to go to the gym before they closed
    Water: At least 80oz
    Proud: Kept my calories down under 1400 as planned. Hooray! Plus I got about $80 worth of groceries for $35. I'm getting pretty darn good at saving money with coupons combined with weekly sales. :bigsmile: And I'm learning how to make healthy meals containing the cheap boxed and frozen foods because that's normally what's on sale.

    Also, tonight at work I was next up to take deliveries and there was a delivery to a less than nice apartment complex on the screen. The manager didn't want to send me there but I felt it was unfair for the next guy to have to go there on a single run (we normally take multiple deliveries at a time because otherwise we lose money on gas) and I had delivered to the guy before with no problems so I felt safe enough to do it. I thought I had remembered him tipping me $2-3 before and all the other drivers were arguing with me because he had never tipped any of them before.
    So, I get there and the guy gave me a $17 tip on a $17.49 order!!! (Yes, a SEVENTEEN dollar tip!!) He gave me $12 to start and then said "No, hold on!" and ran back and got $5 more. :noway: I stood there dumbfounded just holding the money and then I actually said "But sir... that's a $17 tip!" thinking maybe he was confused and he just grinned & said "Yep, have a good night!" :bigsmile:
    I got back to the restaurant and told the manager and he was like "WHAT?! Yeah, I'm never sending you back there again." :laugh: (thinking the customer may be expecting a little more than a pizza next time I deliver :tongue: ). So I said "Nah -- sometimes it helps being a fat white girl in neighborhoods like that" and then I laughed. Anyway, to make a long story long, one of the new young skinny straight guy drivers stopped dead in his tracks as soon as I said it (I didn't even know he was listening), looked at me and said "You are NOT fat!" :blushing: And went on to tell me I'm "average size." :laugh: Average! :drinker:

    Good morning, ladies!

    bluenote: Thank you for sharing your PT story. I love that you say it how it is and then tell us about it. I'm sure trainers have people swear at them and throw tantrums more often than you think.

    Cris: Definitely use those PT sessions you won. It might be just what you need to "jumpstart" the weight loss again. I'm so glad you're back on track!

    lildebbie: All of your exercising is paying off! A 269 this morning? Awesome!!

    Ann: I'm glad you deleted those who are trying to make things difficult for you. You definitely don't need the drama.

    COgirl: Welcome back! Looks like we can work on losing 4 pounds together. Hopefully I can behave myself while camping this weekend...

    Julie: Your new pic looks like a self-portrait in the makeup mirror of a car...I love it! So tell us the details about the guy who tipped $17. Is he old or young, ugly or attractive? Sorry, I'm just nosy.

    Jess: Good luck on your date with guy #2! Hopefully you're getting to the gym this morning.

    mstahl: I'm so happy Meghan arrived safely. You're going to have so much fun this summer!

    As for a recap for my evening, we did have delicious grilled porkchops with baked sweet potatoes. All good for me, until I had two beers, but even those weren't terrible. Then add in the box of Crunch 'N Munch...yep, I said BOX. What is wrong with me? I'm really hoping the uncontrollable eating is mostly TOM's fault and that things will be back to normal after he leaves. Ugh.

    On the plus side, I have this evening to myself to workout. I just need to decide whether is will be a run, Jillian Michaels DVD or kickboxing DVD. Or all of them.

    As long as I behave this evening, I'll be fine on calories. I really wanted the 4 lbs. gone by Friday but I highly doubt that will happen now that it's already Wednesday. Boo!

    mstahl-Yay for Megan making it safely! I know you are so excited. Were you able to get the room ready in time?

    Julie-A $17 tip!? Holy smokes! Go see him more often!

    Heather-I blame time for the overeating as well. I feel as though TOM's gonna hit hard in the next day or two.

    LilDebbie-Hope Serena's appointment goes well today. Congrats on the 260's!!


    So I looked up the mexican place were going to tonight and of course, no nutritonal information. Awesome! What is with no nutrition for mexican food? I know I know! It's because it's TERRIBLE for you! :laugh:

    Good morning!

    Well I weighed in last night and saw that I'm 2.4 lbs up from last week. But I'm OK with that. I had a great weekend full of food and beer. It's also TOM for me and I've never felt so bloated! I'm pretty confident it will come off soon. I'm also not too surprised because my huge 4.2 lb loss last week felt off to me, so I'm sure my body just kind of regulated. When I first weighed in, I was at 188.8. Then I went to the bathroom = 188.6. I went to the bathroom again about 20 min later = 188.4! Needless to say, I had a lot of water yesterday! I thought it was pretty funny to shed 0.4 lbs in a matter of 30 minutes and two trips to the bathroom. It's also reinforced the idea that I'm retaining lots of water.

    Big hoorays to LilDeb and Ann for seeing the scale where they want it to be!
    Julie - awesome tip. And LOVE the "average" comment. It's a compliment, but it's a funny one. My guess is the guy is pretty young who said that.
    Jess - Good luck with your hot date tonight!
    Nancy - I'm shaking in my boots for when the REAL breakdown comes!
    Heather - Enjoy the time to yourself to workout tonight. I love it when Jonathan is out and I can take however long I want at the gym or work out in the living room. Sure I can do those things when he's home, but it's great to have the "freedom" to do them on my own time.
    Mstahl - Glad Meg(h)an arrived safely!

    Checking in from yesterday:
    Cals - 1286, over by 86, but I'm pretty sure that's because of all the grapes I had!
    Water -72 oz
    Exercise - None. Dear Lauren, please go to the gym or do something. Thanks, your body.
    Proud: My good attitude about "gaining" the 2.4 lbs. This will not be a stumbling block.
