    Pos_me - Yes I did get my exercise in! I am going to mow the grass as my exercise today. I have to make sure it isn't too tall for the stinkin' HOA. I do not want another letter! :explode: They send me a letter when my grass isn't even that freakin' high!!!!:explode: :mad:

    Knittygirl - Welcome! We are a chatty bunch as you can see!

    Heather - I had just heard about Maurice's a few weeks ago and haven't checked it out yet. Do they have a lot of good stuff for the bigger girls?

    Heather-I have never been to maurices but my roommate shopped there all the freaking time when she lived in Minnesota! And yes I would love to look like I did in HS. Some awesome person posted some pics on facebook a few weeks ago and tagged me in them. I saw my bangs and wanted to die of humilation! :laugh: I really like your collage idea. I think I am going to do that but put it on the fridge when I move to my parents house. Whatever works right!?

    BLUENOTE: You made my day .... I was still in my funk, still feeling sorry for myself ... and you lifted my spirits, I am SOOOO happy for you! :drinker:

    Thanks everyone for all your support. Sometimes I've been stuck for so long now that I feel like I should just quit MFP ... but I know as long as I keep logging on here, eventually I'll get back into a losing mode. You guys are all such an inspiration!
    I don't know that I'm ready to jump on the 20 pounds by Halloween bandwagon because I've been stuck/gained since September. So I need to take baby steps and start with a smaller goal. My goal right now is just to get back to 20 pounds lost (which is where I was briefly in September). I want to accomplish that by the end of July. I know I can do it!

    checking in for yesterday:
    calories: over by 600 :cry:
    exercise: none
    water: not good at all - I have fallen back into the diet pepsi habit ... but not going to have one today
    proud: believe it or not - I could have done worse but stopped myself

    ugh .... I decided I'd better check in so that my ticker was 'real' ... I'm at the worst that I've been during this whole '9-month plateau'. I NEED to find my motivation again and get back to 20 pounds lost. I KNOW that I can do it, I just have to WANT it badly enough.

    Jess - is your sister getting married on Oct 23rd? That's my wedding day too !! I want to be down by another 35lbs by then but I know that is very ambitious.
    dinner just arrived, be back later
    xoxo
    I completely forgot to answer your question! Sorry! Yes my sisters wedding is getting married October 23rd..and so is my manager at work. That's crazy! So many weddings!! Except my manager actually had the balls to ask me to come to hers at night since my sisters was during th day! You could totally do 35 pounds by then I'll bet. Just have to be strict with yourself!

    I am here to motivate you once again and give you some tough love.Sure you can do it!! Your still here RIGHT??? We are all here for you and I know you can pull yourself back into losing mode again.You have been doing it and you will continue for the rest of your life because this is a lifestyle change not a diet or a fitness challenge this is life.The way I look at it is that I can choose to live a healthy happy long life or a short and miserable one of always feeling sorry for myself and hating the way I look.Its a choice and I am by no means saying that you feel sorry for yourself and you should get over it.I am just giving an example of how I look at it in my own opinion.I hope this helps lift your spirits some .We have all been in your shoes as far as the FUNK goes and we will probably continue to have FUNK along the way every now and again through each of our journeys but the difference is that we acknowledge it and try to move past it like I know you will.MUCH LOVE FROM THE GALS AT MFP!!

    OH! PS - I'm totally down for the 20 by Halloween!

    I think I'm going as Flo from the Progressive commercials (and the boyfriend is going as one of the Geiko cavemen). Not slutty, but it sure is a lot of white! hahah :)

    That is such a good idea! My dh thinks that Flo is my idol! LOL!

    So I had every intention on doing some yard work when I got home since the dh will be at work all night and it is freakin' raining!! I am not just talking about a little bit it is down pouring!! The bad part was that I was in a different building when it started and couldn't get back across the street for 30 mins!! It would have been longer but my coworker and I just gave up and ran for it. :laugh: You should have seen us run it was funny!! :laugh: :laugh: So now I need to get motivated to do some working out after I eat because I am meeting the dh for dinner before I go home. Dang it! I was really looking forward to the yardwork. I never thought I would ever utter those words but it is true. :huh: I think it is because I realized how much of a workout it is and how many calories it burns so I like it that much more.

    Okay rant over! Sorry!

    Raider: Maurice's has both "regular" and "plus size" sizes, so anyone can shop there! I'm glad I don't live in your neighborhood or I'd have letters constantly about my overly-long lawn.

    Jess: Did your friend from MN happen to join MFP recently? Just wondering because I got a friend request from someone I didn't know from Hugo, MN. It's awesome if she did!

    lstpaul: Don't feel too bad about the Diet Pepsi thing. I'm addicted to my diet soda but have made an agreement with myself that I HAVE to drink one bottle (16 oz) of water for every can (12 oz) of diet soda I have. That way I'm not deprived and it's forcing me to drink more water. However, I will say that my water has Crystal Light in it because I don't do well with things that aren't flavored.

    tstout: I love Flo!! She cracks me up. Several people at the Halloween party I went to last night were dressed up as her and a few were the Geiko caveman...actually one of the cavemen was hitting on me, saying he loved redheads with big hair (Peggy Bundy!). It was hilarious.

    Do you gals remember the Flo commercial around the holidays when she was tooting on a horn and said, "I wrote that."? Well, I still have my recorder from elementary music class and decided to copy her one evening. My mom and sister almost died of laughter because apparently the impression was a good one and they definitely did not expect it. Good times!

    That's funny. Yesterday when I was leaving work it had just started pouring. I had FOUR umbrellas in my car and not a single one in my office or purse. :grumble: Everyone else without an umbrella was huddled under the awning at the door waiting for the rain to let up a little. I just thought "screw it" and started walking but it was raining so hard and I was parked about 2 blocks away. I slipped off my shoes and ran for it! :noway: It was SO much fun! :laugh: Pretty much everyone looked at me like I was nuts but then I saw another girl slip off her shoes & book it. :laugh: The best part was I ran really quickly all the way to my car (which was probably a little under 1/4 mile) and I wasn't even out of breath. WOOT!!

    Heather - I do remember that commericial. I would have probably done the same thing if I was there. That is so neat that you learned and acted it out!

    Julie - I love the rain!!! If I wasn't at work or at the end of work I would have just ran and not cared but because I would still have to work another 3 hours I was a little more hesitant. It if funny b/c I was talking to my dh last night when it was raining and asked why we never go play in the rain. He said go for it but wouldn't join me. :cry: If we had a nice backyard with grass I probably would have! :laugh: BTW, WTG on not being out of breath on running!!

    Y'all are cracking me up with the Flo stories and running in the rain. I had to run in the rain last night too. :tongue: I like the caveman and flo idea for Halloween!

    lstpaul-No way we are going to let you give up! Try changeing something up drastically maybe it will give you a boost! Big hugs your way! Hang in there!!

    Heather-She did recently join but she's not in Minnesota anymore. She's in Texas now.

    Sorry that you are still at work. Is there a light at the end of the tunnel for you to leave? I don't know how you do it, working for your father. I am sure I would probably kill mine if he was my boss. Hope you get to leave soon!!

    My favorite is the calculator humor one... where she types "HELLO" on the calculator and says "I'll be here all week! No really... that was my schedule."

    Woah is my body angry at my lack of calories today (I'm not starving myself, but I didn't start out the day with pancakes, french toast, or sausage... so it thinks there's something wrong). haha. Sorry, self! You're not getting any of that.

    I'm 64 ounces of water into the day (woo!). I'm really hoping to down one more Nalgene full (to make a nice 96 ounces). I had some crystal light (pomegranate lemonade, YUM!) and a grande coffee, so I think that should get me up over 100 ounces for the day.

    Provided I don't float away first!

    I work for an electronic recycling company. We pickup equipment all over the country/canada/etc. And ship to one of our three centers. I'm kind of a middle-woman because we use a 3rd party logistics provider. It gets frustrating because I can only get mad and yell at people, instead of actually talking to a person in a truck.

    Thanks for the pep talk Awestfall, Heather and Jess: I AM going to get out of this funk ... and I need to come up with something drastic to change! I'm taking the next 2 days off (working just a couple of hours tomorrow morning) ... and the kids and I are driving to Blair, Wisconsin to the family farmhouse that we want to buy to stay there overnight. I will bring a calendar, notebook, cookbooks ... something to make a plan for at least the next few weeks to get me jump started again - I've been down about having to stop my weight lifting class ... but that doesn't mean that I can't add in some walking or other low impact activities. I haven't been told to stop my step class yet - and I'm not going to unless I absolutely have to. It went well this morning and my neck/arm feel pretty good today - maybe the nightly traction is working!
  • raiderape
    raiderape Posts: 300
    Istpaul - Glad you are starting to feel better. Glad to hear that the traction might be helping. You know you can do this! I think you have a good plan taking everything with you to the farm house and making a good start. When you come back you will be ripped ready to go!!!

    I'm so worn out from being excited all day. Making a big goal sure does give you the energy to do a LOT of stuff you've been wanting to do but have been putting off! :tongue: I am going to go take a nap then work out! :yawn: :drinker: Thanks, sisters, for sharing in my joy today! I love you all! :heart: :heart: :heart:
