    meok - THanks!! for that I am very hard on myself not just on loosing weight but everything ...

    I think my work is really just trying to kill me...got another deadline this week with a long list of tstuff behind it :sad:

    all my paperwork is expected at the mortgage company this morning before 10:30...I am hoping we hear something...i am sooo nervous about hearing back. Hubby says not to worry i am sure we will get prequaled but we have some credit problems in the past, the rent house in Mississippi...just hope it all works out...would be awesome to get a prequal today, i know that would make me feel soo much better...Would be a great bday present for hubby tomorrow.

    I am planning on weighing in tomorrow and not friday this week. Since his bday is tomrorow we are going out to eat and i am sure it will be like tons of sodium ...I know i won't be in any contention for biggest loser :grumble: since at this morning i was .1 lbs down from friday...at least it isn't more...so i doubt i will be even at like 1/2 lb...but whatever i will take it,..

    Meokk - thank you so much for posting that. I've been thinking the same thing and I'm so glad you pointed that out. We all have bumps on the journey, but it's important to remember that this is a lifestyle change and life takes all kinds of twists and turns. Love yourself. Know that your weight loss sisters are here for you...no matter what kind of a day you had!

    Julie - It's so amazing to see you talk about wanting to get pregnant. We aren't at that point yet, however I'm sure we'll get to that point in the next few years. However, I know when it's time, I'll have the best support system ever!

    Checking in for yesterday:
    Cals - Under w/exercise - 1450 total
    Water - 112 oz
    Exercise - 1 hour of hot vinyasa yoga. 50% of the challenge is complete!
    Proud - Had an overall great day. Spent some time with a friend and got to just be home alone for awhile.

    Morning ladies!
    I didn't get enough sleep last night and I tried to counteract that by drinking too much coffee this morning. I am very much not used to so much caffeine (I only had 2 cups!). I feel like a crazy person. It's going to be an interesting day. :drinker:

    I weighed myself this morning for the first time in a few days and I'm back up to 193.0. :grumble: I'm going to pretend it's the I-worked-out-2-days-in-a-row thing and not the I-ate-pizza-all-weekend thing

    Meokk-So glad to see you here. And thank you for the reminder. I often forget and am really hard on myself. Something I'm trying really hard to work on. I'm hard on myself in more ways then just in weight loss category! Thanks my weight loss sister

    Deb-Hope you get some good news today! Sorry work has put another deadline on you. I know you'll get it all done.

    Lauren-Great job at being halfway done with the challenge for the week!

    I saw 210.6 on the scale this morning!!!!!!! I hope it sticks till Friday!!!!!!!

    Check in for 9.21
    Calories: over I'm sure. Mexican cantina we went to doesn't have a nutritional menu but I had 2 margaritas a few chips and salsa and half this grill chicken and veggies meal. I had a little over 600 calories for dinner...pretty sure I went over
    Water: 8 cups
    Exercise: None, again, I really suck this week
    Proud: Not sure I have anything to be proud of except that the scale showed a number BESIDES 211 this morning!

    I can't be on as much as I would like today because all 3 of my kids are home with some kinda cough/cold/stomach virus thing. It must be from the weather changing...

    I will be doing the shred. I am going to attempt to do yesterdays and today ( since I missed yesterday). I might not do anything else.

    Have a great day girls!!!!

    Yay Jess!! 210!! How exciting! :bigsmile:

    Pos_me -- Hope your kids feel better soon. That stomach virus is no joke & is getting around really quickly. I saw 2 people pull over to puke on the interstate on my way to work Monday morning. :laugh: :sick: I knew right then it was going to be a good week. :tongue:

    Jess - Excited for you...i am hpoing it sticks for you !!!!!

    Pos - Sorry your kiddos are sick...

    You know i am really suprised i had 247.8 this morning..due to i was 700 calories over..yes 700...that was including jimmy johns which is loaded in sodium...so maybe if i flush some of this sodium out today i may have somewhat of a loss .
  • RedneckWmn
    RedneckWmn Posts: 3,202 Member
    Julie-WOW! Pulling over to puke? Yeah that is indeed a sign of a good week to come! :laugh:

    POS Me-Hope your kiddos get better soon. A stomach virus is NEVER good times! Take care of yourself and rest so you don't get sick too. Don't push yourself too hard. You don't have to make up for yesterday.

    Deb-Crossin my fingers you can flush out some of the water retention and see a bigger loss.

    So I forgot my breakfast, yet again...so instead of stopping I'm eating non traditional breakfast food. I'm eating a can of Tuna. haha...better then McDonalds! :drinker:

    Morning ladies!

    I have discovered that I, too (like Julie), cannot handle coffee. Boyfriend bought me some of those Starbucks Via packets so I could stay awake in class on Tuesday nights. I got through a little more than half of it and was a shakey mess... hahaa. So I need to cut it down to half a packet and that's all. haha

    Checking in for yesterday -
    Calories: under! (including the pack of pretzels m&ms I had)
    Sodium: under!
    Water: OVER! I nearly had an accident driving home from school
    Exercise: none other than walking to and from class
    Proud: That I am back in school. :)

    Hi girlies!

    I was at 205.2 this morning, not quite sure how because I def did not stick to my meal plan yesterday.

    I did great until I got home from work. Im already pretty stressed out about work, wedding, etc...then Bobby and I got into a huge fight and he didnt come home for like 3 hours after that fight so I sat there stuffing my face with anything I could find. We made up this morning but the damage was done. So I was surprised to see the 205 this morning. I also didnt make it to the gym...

    Today I have spin class and I am in the process of planning my meals right now. Im determined to keep trying to get back on track. Old me would have said "you arleady messed this week up, just restart monday"

    Julie- practice make sperfect...like everyone else said, just relax and dont worry about it too much. I loved your story about not breaking family tradition

    Momma- ****WAVING WILDLY**** HI!!!!!! Seems like you and hubby get busy a lot in January eh eh..hehe. I miss you! Glad you are back too!

    Pos me- sorry about your kids, I hate it when my son is sick. It breaks your heart seeing them that way, hope they feel better soon!

    Jess- Woohoo! 210!!! and eww on the tuna

    Cris-I'm still laughing about your comment yesterday about making a spreadsheet on my men...hahahaha...I might need it too! Congrats on the 205! Your quickly making progress. Hope things are all better with you and Bobby!

    I'm full of energy this morning...maybe it's still the two margaritas from last night.
    For those who were interested in insanity..I'm dumb and can't seem to figure out how to copy them. Or maybe I don't have the right program. I'll have to ask my friend.

    On the inasnity note...I'm PUMPED to start it on Monday!! I am thinking of doing the Fitness Test this weekend if I have time. I started taking my vitamins today...lets hope it works!

    Jess - on copying the insantity, since they are dvd's you have to have a dvd writer, if you try to just burn them as cd's that won't work.

    I have some program called DVD maker or something but it wont add the files..when I click on them nothing happens. It's weird. I was just gonna ask my friend about it when I see her.

    Cris, what are you talking about my hubby and I have only gotten busy 4 times in our lives. At least that is what my older children think. 2 times in january once in June, and once in September!!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I am so happy to see you back. You are so fun to have around.

    Jess, best of luck going insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:flowerforyou:

    Deb, hope paper work is going well. I am so excited for you. My bro and his wife had a home built. He is so hilarious and a perfectionist. He kept telling the workers that he felt the front porch light looked crooked. They said they fixed it. So he waited until the builders left and went and fixed them himself. He cracks me up. He also helped me and my hubby put our front door up. While he was gone we put the frame around the door., My hubby says watch he is going to be mad at us for doing this while he was gone. He was he said we did not do it right. It's our house what does he care. HE owns a roofing business and he knows a lot about constuction. I know his customers get the best roofs around.

    Good morning to my weight loss sisters. Just trying to make good choices today. I am trying to get to my 4 workouts this week. I took a walk yesterday but I really need to get back to working out.

    Thanks momma - I worry about every thing...and I just like to have it all planned out...i don't know why people can just do everything now :smile: We built our 1st house (then sold it , which i wish we didn't :sad:) and we were out there all the time watching it be built that is soo cool...when they frame it and you walk around seeing what is where...we had to keep on top of it as sometimes they weren't doing thigns like we had planned or just stupid, like one time they put an outliet in the middle of the wall...like chest level in a bedroom...we wer elike WTH...if this goes through i will be soo excited...It will be the 1st house with a guest room...that we can have people come stay with us...

    I love all of the random comments today!

    Momma: Don't feel bad about doing the Leslie Sansone workouts. They're great! I do them occasionally and am hoping my mom will start using them more. During Biggest Loser last night she said, "I really need to start working out more." I said, "Well I bought those Leslie Sansone DVDs with you in mind. Just do them!" We'll see if she does...

    Nancy: I did not get any strange posts from you, so don't sweat it!

    Julie: Love the family tradition thing. I broke my family's tradition, which was a generational gap of 22. Um, yeah, I wasn't even considering children at that point!

    Meokk: Thanks for the reminder about not being too hard on ourselves. I don't have too much of the negative talk, but every once in a while that negative voice pops out and it's hard to quiet it once it starts!

    Jess: I know my bf has a program he has to use when copying DVDs to cover up the copyright or something. Hopefully your friend can help you get it figured out. I'm planning on doing my fit test, pictures, measurements and watching the first workout on Friday or Saturday in preparation for starting the program on Sunday. Woo hoo! I'm excited.

    Deb: I know how hard it is to be patient while waiting to hear on a house! Buying my house was the most nerve-wracking experience of my life! I can't imagine what a nervous wreck I'd be if I ever got married or had children! How you women do it all is completely beyond me.

    Checking in for yesterday:
    Calories: Under by 618 (partially exercise calories)
    Sodium: Under by 338!
    Water: 67.6 oz.
    Exercise: 30 minute Boxing DVD...challenge met (2/4 done for the week!)
    Proud: That I'm taking the time to fully prepare for starting a new exercise program on Sunday!

    Heather-I'm excited and nervous all at the same time to get this started! I gotta take my measurements and pics this weekend. YUCK! I don't want to see pics of that! :sick: I'm okay with taking pics with clothes on but in a bra and shorts or something...nope...But..I want to see some awesome result pics so gotta do what ya gotta do!!

    Seeing the 210 on the scale today made my day! I been watching what I stuff my face with all day!

    I am suppose to be at school with Ryan right now. He was sooooo Out of Control I was getting frustrated. I told the teacher I am getting frustrated and I can't control him I am just going to take him home. The teacher said leave him here and you go home and relax. So I took her up on the offer. I am not use to having a kid that won't listen to me or obey me. My girls have all been very well behaved and hard workers. I guess my poor Ryan needs more because of the developmental delays and issues. So frustrated. People are always saying. "Just be consistant and make sure you make him mind" Okay people what you think I have been doing with all of my children for 17 years. This is different. It is different. I am doing my best. I am being consistant. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: Man, I just want to stop crying all of the time. You would think that my tear ducts would have dried up by now. I want to go eat but I am going to calm down and relax before he gets home then have lunch with him. A sensible lunch. I don't consider myself to be a crier but boy have I become one. I am constantly boohooing. As a matter of fact I can't stop the tear flow right now as I type:cry::cry: :cry: :cry:

    Cheer up, Momma!!

    Unfortunately, I can't give you any make you feel better, parental words of wisdom (considering your other three children I doubt you need any :smile: )

    I can just cite my mom and say "God doesn't give you anything you can't handle"

    Sometimes He has more faith in us than we have in ourselves. Keep your chin up and be the Momma you are :flowerforyou:

    MOMMA- *******HUGSSS****** Im sorry you are so upset, but I am glad the teacher asked you to leave. You have been doing the parenting thng way longer than me but I notice that Brayden acts out more in front of me and is fine when Im not around. The pediatrician told me that they tend to test the parent that is more dominant in their life. I know Ryan has some other issues but maybe he's jsut not listening to YOU not everyone in general. In which case, yes its bad that he isnt listening to his mother but at least hes not being defiant to people as a whole? I doubt the teacher would have told you to leave him there if it wasnt something they couldnt handle. You have been doing this with Ryan on your own for a long time LET them (teachers) help you. Take some time off to yourself, take some deep breaths and know that you ARE doing all that you can, I have no doubt of that! You need the enregy to deal with him when he gets home so take this much needed (and deserved break) to re-energize and when you go get him you will be ready to be the best momma that we already know you are

    MOmma - I am sorry ...I really feel for you...I have issues with both of mine on acting out..>All the issues i had with serena last year,...it got soo much better (so far)...I spent 1/2 the year in the principal office trying to figure out how to make her better..

    How old is Ryan? Is he recently 5 or about to be 6??

    I have a friend who little girl started K, and she is having a rough time, crying all the time, outburts and such ...

    tstout and cris, Thank you so much. I went and sat down, cried, and talked to my cousin who has always been one of my best friends since we were babies. I feel a lot better and more relaxed. I am ready to go pick up my baby. tsout, your mom is right God does NOT give us more than we can handle. Thanks for those very kind words. I needed that
  • I DID THE 25 MINUTE RUN TODAY FROM C25K!!!!!!!!! I really didn't think I would make it since I was dying at minute 18, but I actually did the whole thing jogging! :happy: :bigsmile: :glasses: :smokin:

    Check-in from yesterday:

    Calories - 304 under
    Water - 9 cups
    Exercise - quick 10 minute warm-up and weights

    Proud - I really wanted Chick-fil-a after class last night, but went home and made myself a proper meal. :smile:

    I was down nearly 2 pounds this morning, so hoping that means I have a good weigh-in on Friday! I'll catch up on posts later today.
