Laila: Thank you for the kind words about the photo shoot. It's been rescheduled due to family issue for the photographer. I'm not sure when it will be, but of course I'd let you ladies know.
Kerri: I am in agreement with Jess. Stay away from some of the fattier foods you may have in your diet and see if that helps with the sluggishness and lack of energy. I have the same problem with I consume too many of the bad fats found in heavy meats.
Jess: I hope you're not getting sick. Try not to get too worked up about the new girl. Maybe she won't be there long...I mean, if I got demoted I would just find a different company to work for rather than having everyone know I was demoted.0 -

That's what we're thinking! A friend of mine who use to work for the company called me yesterday and said to be careful of her. That she's not good news. Everybody has me bent out of shape about it. So I moved my work station far away. I'm now down in the corner by myself. Another perk, far away from all the dang candy!0 -
I just went through my "most used" foods in my journal and to my suprise most of the foods were fruits and veggies. I would say almost 50%! WOW!0

I scoured my food diary and suprisingly not much processed foods..I do all the cooking so the only processed foods I have is either cereal, lunchmeat, hotdogs ( turkey), cheese..
here is my list for things to avoid this week...
Things I am staying away from..
1). Sweetened cereals: Honey bunches of oats with almonds + Quaker granola oat & honey cereal
2). Cheeses..all except laughing cow light
3). All fatty dressing..creaser, ranch, Italian..I am sticking with evoo, salt, and lemon juice
4). All candy, chips, cake, brownies, fruit snacks, corn nuts, and muffins..I stopped over eating these but it’s just a reminder..
5). All ice cream, even the frozen yogurt…just for this week..
6). All deil meats or lunchmeat + hotdogs
Have a wonderful day girls!

Ooof. My trainer kicked my butt today. I am working out solo Tue/Thu this week and Tue next week because the girl I do group training with is in some kind of work training this week and then going to DC for a long weekend. So, my trainer is taking this opportunity to kick my butt... I mean help me with my spots that I need improvement! Then I did a W3 workout for C25K.
Lately I have been SO HUNGRY! Like, I eat and then 2 hours later I don't just feel like "eh I could eat"... I feel like I could eat everything in sight, I have the worst gnawing feeling in my belly. It's weird... it's only been like this for like the last week.
Checkin for 7/19:
Calories - over by 133
Exercise - none
Water - so-so... I have been drinking more Crystal Light lately, but I think that should count
Proud - I'm back to logging my stuff0 -
Anybody out there?0
-
Miranda: I've said it before and I'll say it again...Crystal Light counts!!! I'm almost to 67.6 oz. of water today and 50.7 oz. of it has had Crystal Light in it. The fountain water at work tastes terrible (think iron), so I have to mask it. At home, I typically drink tap water that's been run through my Brita. Hey, you're making the effort and that's what counts!0
-
Good! :bigsmile: I have a Brita pitcher too but I get tired of drinking plain old water. I stopped drinking soda at home like 4 or 5 months ago, and I FINALLY got a couple pitchers a couple weeks ago, one for me to make Crystal Light and one for my SO to make iced tea because he'd been using a Tupperware pitcher that I got from my mom that is probably like 30 years old and was getting kinda gross.Miranda: I've said it before and I'll say it again...Crystal Light counts!!!

I can't believe I was so lazy and never went and got a pitcher before this. I like plain water but I was getting tired of drinking so much of it. It's nice to replace my soda at meals with Crystal Light and then go back to just drinking water in between!0 -

The crystal lights are amazing! It is a nice change when all you drink is water!0 -
Miranda, some of that hunger after working out could be from lack of hydration, too. I drink at least 32 oz. after a workout and if I still feel hungry twenty minutes after the water, I'll eat something.
I am too scared to see the weight damage from this past weekend of birthday festivities. I think I need to focus on getting back to clean eating and after I feel good about that, then I will weigh myself. I'm afraid right now with Pandora's Sweet Tooth Box opened, I may have a relapse if I see failure on the scale. Does that make sense?
Laila - I know when I had that huge scrape from falling last month, my doc said to make sure to clean it at least three times a day with soap and water. Just offering what I know.
My brother gave me a laptop for my birthday present! Before you start thinking OMG her bro is loaded with cash, let me explain that it is new to me. LOL He is a high school teacher at a private school and every summer they sell their one-year-old laptops to the teachers - pretty cheap, too. Yes, this school buys brand new laptops for every student every year (it's included in their overpriced tuition!). So yay me my brother bought me one! I am so excited! I have no clue how to use it. LOL Like, do I need to get a wireless modem or something like that? I heard that lingo mentioned.... I have a lot of learning to do!
But I am so excited! :bigsmile: 0 -
I guess it could be but I didn't really work out much last week. I went for a hike on Monday, and to my trainer at the gym on Tue/Thu, but other than that no exercise, and I want to eat everything in sight.Miranda, some of that hunger after working out could be from lack of hydration, too.

Blue: that is awesome about the laptop! I think you will need a router but you can get one from your internet provider, or you can purchase one at best buy or somewhere like that.
Miranda: could TOM be close? I only ask, because that is exactly how I felt for a few days last week and that was what the problem appears to be. Mine hasn't show yet, but all the signs are there.
Anywho: I see that most people are pretty busy today as the board is kinda silent. Hope all is well!0 -
Hey all,
TOM is here and raging his ugly head! Cramps are bad and I've been eating with total abandon today. Chips left over from the BBQ this weekend? Not anymore!! Ugh. I feel like crap now - both physically and emotionally. I am sure I'm going to see a gain this week after this weekend. I haven't worked out since Saturday, but I'm so pooped and icky now, that I'm not sure if it'll happen tonight. I have an early meeting tomorrow morning, so an AM workout probably isn't going to happen either. Grr!
I don't imagine I'll have much more to eat tonight. If I do eat, it's going to be mosty veggies. Blech on all the cramps plus bad for me eating!
Meokk - FAILED the challenge today with my chips!! Whoops!0 -
Does anyone here have facebook, and would you mind if I added you to my friends list? If so let me know. 0

Checking in-
calories: prob around 2000
water- yup
sodium- sky high
excercise- ops
proud- that I went to bed instead of eating more
So I went to the mall to pick up some last minute vacay items and the food court did me in. I got a slice of pizza which I thought was bad but not awful. I figured 300, 400 cals at the most and I had 650 left. Well I got home and looked up the nutritional value and it was 540 cals for the one slice of pizza! I just about died. I was doing ok since I was still under by like 100 but then I drank a beer then another I think I had 3 total but beer= poor decisions so I ate a hot dog. I planned on eating more because at this point I was just spiraling down but I decided to stop the damages at what they were and now I lay here in bed wallowing in self pity.... When will I learn that food does nit make me happy! Ugh!0 -
Cris - I feel your pain, we all do. I still marvel at how one poor decision unfolds into several. My only consolation to you is that we live and learn. That sucks, but it's true. Take Lauren and me, for example. Sounds like we both superly overate on our birthday weekend. If Lauren is feeling like I am feeling, it's not pretty. I am disgusted with myself and mad that I thought I was doing OK when in reality I was NOT. But it's over now and somehow we all have to pick up the pieces and go on. Make tomorrow better than today. That's all we can do. Learn from it and move on.
TOMORROW IS A NEW DAY, LADIES!!! 0 -
With that said, I *DID* have a better day today. :bigsmile: One day at a time!
check in:
calories: OK
water: 100
exercise: 30 mins elliptical, 30 mins treadmill
proud: I had a good eating day compared to the entire weekend :ohwell:0 -
Birthdays (and that birthday "hangover" feeling - let's keep all this crappy eating and celebrating ME going!) are hard! But as we all know, you gotta log it and move on.
Logging the crap from yesterday:
Cals - OVER by LOTS. 1999 (what the what?!?! on a weekday?!?)
Water - Super good (the only thing that was!) - 104 oz
Exercise - Nada
Proud - Logged it all. Every chip (and there were lots) and bite of birthday cake. On an upside (for the future at least), there is no more birthday cake in the house for me to eat!0 -
Hello ladies...
I am have been in a worldwind of no exercise and eating over calories now for 3 days...This is the longest i haven't gone to the gym since i started...I have been so hungry i had 4 yes 4 brownies..given they were jillian michaels brownies, made with honey and applesauce, but still 4...on yeah the last one was with peanutbutter on top.
so given, no exercise since saturday, over cals sun - tuesday, TOM here...and.....I am 1 1/2 down since friday...not really sure how that happened..
I know that I can't keep up like that...maybe my body just needed a little break.0 -
Good morning ladies. I see lots of us have been having some crappy days lately. I been right there with y'all. I like what blue said. Start fresh today and let's make the rest of this week a good week. Let's not let the first couple of days get us down and ruin the whole week. We all have goals we want to meet. Mine became a reality last night. When I tried on the dress for my sisters wedding it was in a more flattering color I guess. When I got it home last night and tried it on I was quite ashamed. Almost wish I would of got a bigger size. BUT I'm going to take it as motivation. I took a picture and anytime I want to snack or give up, I'm going to look at that picture. I will NOT look like that at my sisters wedding. The good news is I only need to lose about 5-10 pounds for it to look good. My goal is to be at 190 which would be about 22 pounds. Totally doable in 3 months. 3 months from Friday. I have committed to working out twice today. I already went this morning and I will do a fitness DVD tonight. Probably 30 Day Shred. Hope everybody has a better day today! :flowerforyou: Be back later!0
-
Today i already know i will be over...I have this party at my house tonight, i still have to get something to bring, plates, drinks, etc...why did i volunteer this month...uggg...
We are having pizza before...pap muphy's (like a take and bake), usally isn't quite as greasy but i am sure not the best...and of course no exercise cause i got to be running around at lunch...hopefully I will get back in my routine soon.0 -
Good morning!
Check in
calories: a little over, ( I failed this weeks challenge - I ate some chips and popcorn)
water: still not doing good...I reach about 64 oz, but I am usually aiming for 90/100oz
exercise: light things..cleaned/mopped downstairs all 4 rooms, plus some Mall shopping for schoool clothing
proud: even thought I ate a couple chips I didn't over do it...I knew when to stop..I feel guilty for eating theim in the first place.
Elmox, Nancy, Jess, Cris, and LItdeb...I had some bad moment yesterday, but today is a new day..
Nancy, thanks for the home remedies for hubby...it looks so bad today..but not so bad that he need to see a doctor..Thanks GOD!
Congats on the new Labtop..I love my laptop more than the desktop because of it portablity..enjoy it:bigsmile:
Jess, I am in ( if it's a challenge you are throwing at us) in 3 months will be my birhtday..so I am to be at least 30 pounds lighter.. we can motivated each other and help each other through our weak moments..
back in a few...0 -
Deb -- parties are FUN! Your house doesn't have to be spotless and the snacks don't have to be perfect. Just take a deep breath to de-stress and enjoy your night.
Cris -- I too often fall for the "Well, I already screwed up, may as well screw up more!" line of thought. :noway: It's amazing you were able to stop it! Just think, assuming a "normal" metabolism, 2000 is probably around maintenance cals for you so no harm done.
Have fun on vacation!
Jess -- Way to use that dress as motivation!
Blue -- Have fun with your laptop! I love sitting outside while browsing the interwebs. Makes me feel a little bit less like a shut-in nerd.
Elmox -- I'm feeling you with TOM. It's killing me. Today seems to have started off better than Monday or Tuesday though so I have hopes that I won't spend the majority of the day doubled over with cramps. At least with mine this month I've been too nauseous to overeat. :drinker:
myworld -- I think we pretty much all facebook. Feel free to add me BlantoJL@mailbox.sc.edu
07.20.2010
Calories: 1315
Exercise: I was doubled over in the fetal position for much of the day. Does that count as an ab workout?
Water: I'm not sure. I don't have much logged. But that doesn't really mean anything.
challenge: I succeeded in not eating any of my most common processed foods (other than bread for breakfast). But I MEGA failed in that I ate *more* processed foods than usual...
Proud: I went to Kroger last night and spent $37, saved $62 AND got $8 back in vouchers to use on my next purchase at Kroger. :bigsmile: That's $107 worth of groceries for $37! I'm getting good at this.
edit: oh, spelling.0 -

back in a few...
I know several of us commited to it before. So I we need to really push each other. I've got my cousin all over my butt! I HAVE to loset his weight to look good in this dress. I refuse to have it altered and let out or have to wear big panties. I did my workout this morning. Jillian is going to kick my butt tonight and tomorrow morning. Thinking SPIN class tomorrow evening, and SPIN Saturday morning. We WILL do this!
LilDebbie- Hope you get back in the swing of things soon. You probably just burnt yourself out. Your body is forceing you to rest!0 -
Julie - Those are soom good deals..I got me a 3.00 one a kroger to use...i was soo made cause i had a 4.00 one and it expired :sad: Thanks for the words on the party tonight...My house is always a mess i have tried moving all the mess upstairs so at least people won't see it 0
-
LittleSpy-I love hearing about your bargans!
MyWorlds-I have facebook as well. Feel free to add me lilboh02@gmail.com
Blue-Congrats on the laptop that's awesome! You will just need to get a wireless router or modem, not sure what it's called. If you go to best buy or call your service provider they could probably help you out.
Cris-Have lots of fun on your vacation!
Elmox-You still stayed under 2000 calories and that's the good news. Probably didn't do as much harm as you think. Just start today fresh. Make the rest of the week a great week!
Sorry, realized I didn't comment earlier. My memory is not so good sometimes!0 -
I agree with Julie. Don't stress about everything being perfect, just have fun!Julie - Those are soom good deals..I got me a 3.00 one a kroger to use...i was soo made cause i had a 4.00 one and it expired :sad: Thanks for the words on the party tonight...My house is always a mess i have tried moving all the mess upstairs so at least people won't see it0
