    Stupid day. Our hiring freeze is over at work and I had to teach an orientation class today which is normally tiring enough. But one of the new employees showed up to her office at 9.30 this morning instead of HQ. Wouldn't have been such a big deal except her office is 3 hours away from HQ. So that meant she showed up 3 hours late which is precisely the time we broke for lunch. So I got to eat about 2 bites of food since I had to retrieve her from reception & show her around before I ran upstairs to try to eat. And then since she was late, she had to stay late so I could go over everything she missed. Which meant I also missed my afternoon snack and I had to stay at work an hour late (on Friday... :grumble: And I won't be compensated for it at all because I'm salaried. *sigh*).

    Anyway, so that meant by the time I got home at 6.30pm not only had I missed lunch, but I had also missed 2 snacks and about 7 cups of water.

    ... I've eaten 3 dinners. :embarassed:

    Calories: 1908
    Exercise: Yeah... Does standing up & flapping my lips for 9 hours count? I'm so not even joking -- I actually strained a muscle in my neck I had to talk so much today. It really hurts! Ridiculous!
    Water: No idea. Fail?
    Fiber: 21g. Fail
    Proud: Eh -- I sure like potentially being the biggest loser for the first time since like January! :happy: (Did everyone really already weigh-in? So many folks are missing lately. I'll give people a few more hours to check in just in case).

    I ate too much Chinese food last night. I am all bloated. I hope this did not mess up my next weeks weigh in. I got a new Leslie Sansone DVD with a work out ban. So excited to start that on Monday, when the kids are at school and can't sit around laughing at me. My mother had a bouquet of flowers sent to me and my sister had a bunch of black balloons attached to it. What a brat!!! I am getting my hair done today. So all in all my 40th was nice. I was with my family and yes I had cake. My mom was so dissappointed though some of my flowers were wilted. She called but I don't think they will do anything about it. My husband woke up this morning and asked if this meant he was married to a cougar now. He wanted to know if he was going to be persued by a cougar. I said I am only a cougar if your 20:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: So needless to say he was a tad dissappointed I guess he was liking the whole cougar idea:blushing: :blushing: :blushing: Maybe I should endulge him. He is a nice looking guy and all:blushing: :laugh:

    Happy Monday!

    So I figured our challenge should be exercise related since I know a lot of us (especially me) have been struggling with getting enough.

    Sooooo.... This week's challenge is to get AT LEAST 30 minutes of exercise AT LEAST 4 days this week.


    I felt awful all weekend and I feel like I completely wasted it. I know the main reason I felt bad -- because I wasn't eating well. I wasn't that far over my calories, but most of my cals were coming from carbs and sugar. I felt exhausted and took long naps both Saturday and Sunday -- but I had no reason to be exhausted because I hadn't done anything. It was gross. Next weekend I'm definitely going to log my food & eat well to ensure I'm getting in enough protein. I did not enjoy feeling like crap all because I decided to eat pizza for like every meal 4 meals in a row. :noway:

    Happy Monday Morning. Hope everybody had a good weekend. My was quite eventful to say the least! For those who sent suggestions regarding my hair color. I went with lowlites...I took a pic and posted it as my profile pic for y'all to see if you want.

    Julie-That does not sound like fun at all. I'm with you. I drank waaaaay too much Satuday night and I felt like crap all day yesterday. Not hungover just nasty and lazy! Felt like I wasted my day! I'm diggin the challenge this week, thanks!

    Hello every one.

    Julie - YOur challenge seems great, since I have been doing that maybe i will acutally get a challenge done :smile:

    This weekend didn't track any caloires, whent out most of the weekend, but good news with all that I am still under 250 ...still a few lbs up from friday but under 250 i will take that...

    I had an awesome weekend...I should of been working but i didn't :sad: ..We went looking around at houses up in the area we want to buy (in june/july) we came upon a model home , and they have a floor plan we fell in love with...i mean if we designed a house this would be it like 98%). They are desperate to sell houses and "say" we can get all this stuff for our budget...I mean this house is sweet, it is a cape cod style house, 2 stoires, with covered porches front and back, and covered upper patios front and back. 4 bdr /2.5 bath 2 family room, with the 2nd one being all the way in the back of the house (which we are soo wanting), Master down (which i really wanted) ...big kitchen open living room...

    I want this sooo bad...We did the stuff online last night for a pre-qualify, if we go with the builders mortgage company they pay all our closing cost (like 5k ) so all we need is our down payment, which i don't have all now but will by june, with my savings plan and tax refund.

    so just praying that the pre-qual comes back and everything is great and we can get it...They would start building like decemberish...and will be ready in the summer...

    I love this house like really
    http://www.drhorton.com/Where-We-Build/Texas/Dallas-Fort-Worth/DFW-East/Providence/Plans/SVE-405/Exterior-Views.aspx#

    We would get the elevation with the columns, the 1st one on the top.

    Deb-I was reading your post about your house thinking to myself "Geeze this sounds EXACTLY like my sister and her home building exeprience with all the deals and everything" sure enough she went with D.R. Horton on their house they just build. Where are you looking to build? Theirs is in McKinney/Frisco border. I will say her building experience was really pleasant but her closing was a fiasco and very unorganized. But they do good work. She loves her house! Glad you had a great weekend!

    We are looking up in Providence, it is up off 380 between denton and frisco. We were looking in savannah which is down the road, but the only builder is very pricey and the land is more i think..The girls will go to Aubry schools, where savannah was Denton schools. BUt it is rated exemplary from the state, so i am figuring it is good...just a lot smaller..like a 2a school instead of 5a, the whole school district has 2 elementary, 1 jr high and 1 high school..It is kinda out there...but all the kids in our neighboorhood would go to that school, there is a nother section that would go to denton schools so it is kinda split...i was a little nervous about this but I am sure it will be fine.

    We built a house when we lived here before i loved the house for the most part and the closing was hectic cause we could close but we couldn't move in and were in a hotel for a week...really was crappy,...Hopefully if this all goes through we will have a good closing..

    Yeah I know exactly where you are talking about! Hope the pre qualify goes through for you!

    Yeah I know exactly where you are talking about! Hope the pre qualify goes through for you!

    The lot we are looking at is across the street (like a residential street) from the soccer field , a big open field that the girls can go play in ...no house right in front of you...of course if we get it we may pick another lot as that one may be taken...

    Worse case if we think the schools are really bad or something we can always send them to private schoo, but i think that they will be great, i mean if the state ranks them exemplry that is awesome

    The only thing it doesn't have that i wanted is a seperate office, but it has a dining room and breakfast room , we only use our breakfast room now and our dining room has toys in it, so that would be my office but it will be open and all not closed off..and no linen closet downstairs (which i don't have now ), and the girls rooms are a little smaller than i wanted , they were bigger, but then would add the game room so it makes them smaller, still bigger than they have now but they pretty much get all upstairs so i think they will live.

    Thank you...i hope it does go through...
  • RedneckWmn
    RedneckWmn Posts: 3,202 Member
    My sisters had the same thing, the dining room and the breakfast area...they actually asked the builders to close off the formal dining room and put doors on it so it could be made into an office. If all goes well you could always ask the builders to do that. Thats the great thing about building a house.
  • lildebbie
    lildebbie Posts: 2,068 Member
    Yeah they said they could close it off...i just am not sure , it would make the hallway seem narrow, and we were concerened for down the road about re-selling it and not having a formal dining room...

    Morning girls,

    let me start by confessing I over did it (food wise) yesterday. I had roasted leg of lamb with flavored rice and another cupcake (I am thinking of throwing out the rest because red velvet is my favorite too). I already planned out my food log and I am going to stick with 1300 caloires today ( I am trying to make up for yesterday's bad food choices) and exericise for about 60 minutes or so.
    I will get through this....and I will lose those 5 pounds and be under 200 pounds by October 1.

    here is my workout schedule for this week..what do ya think?

    Monday: 20 minutes of either elliptical or treadmill and Jillian micheals 30 days shred ( level 1).
    Tuesday: 30 days shred, 30 minutes walking/ running outside/inside
    Wednesday: 30 days shred and 20 minutes elliptical
    Thursday: 30 days shred and 25 minutes walking/running outside/inside
    Friday: shred and 30 elliptical
    Saturday: shred and walking
    Sunday: shred

    I am planning on doing the shred for 30 consecutive days. Anyone can join me if they would like...I would love a support system.

    Morning all,
    I've been AWOL for a while. I didn't check in on friday but weighed this morning and I'm up about 3 pounds - :sad: :sad:
    I know why - parties and eating out almost every day last week.
    I'm back on the wagon today and actually did workout both weekend days.
    Planning to eat about 1300 today and do Shred or no more trouble zones this evening.
    I'm thinking I might do lower calories for a week or two and then back up to 1400 again.

    Thanks for the challenge LilSpy !!
    LilDeb - how exciting getting a house built for you !!! My parents did that once, it was so cool getting to customize and choose what you want.

    Hi girls!!!!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMA! LOVE U!!! :heart: :heart:

    I am here, back to logging, and plan on going back to the gym today! Work today wont allow me to stay and chat so I'll start my usual stalking tomorrow!

    But here is where I am:
    current weight: 208!!!! :explode: :grumble:
    goal weight: 170 (by my best friends wedding in May)

    So thats what my ticker is reflecting....38lbs to lose by then

    I want to set smaller goals, the 105lbs to lose just finally got to my head...amongst other things.

    So yup, my name is Cris and I'd like to lose 38lbs by May 14th!

    Talk to u all tomorrow, hugs for all!

    Cris

    Meook- your wedding is in a month!!! eeekkkk!

    Cris - Welcome back!
    Jess - Love the hair!
    Julie - Love the challenge and I need it like WHOA!
    Meokk - Good to see you and at least you had a fun weekend full of parties!
    Deb - What an exciting time - buliding a house to your specifications.
    Pos - Great workout plan for the week - I hope you inspire me into action!

    So this weekend was a free for all. Ate whatever I wanted, drank whatever I wanted, didn't exercise. This morning I was up about 5 lbs from last week, so while some may be sodium, I've also been doing my own thing and have not really focused on making good choices. To sum up a weekend of check-ins:
    Cals-Over each day
    Water - Just about at 64 oz each day
    Exercise - None the entire weekend
    Proud - Saw lots of people I haven't seen in a long time, called "skinny minny". :bigsmile:

    Jonathan's 10-year reunion was this weekend. Took a pic, sharing it here. That's me in my size 10 jeans and medium top. That's Jonathan holding a large Magnum (unloaded) gun. He's from southeast Missouri...what more can I say to explain the gun other than it was a prop!

    elmo - you look soo awesome!!!!

    IN all my house news...i almost forgot !!! I went to CATO and i got 2 shirts (1.99 each by the way ) on the skinny side of the store...They have a big wall when you walk in you go to the right for skinny clothes and to the left for fat clothes...given i still have to be on the left side for pants, but i got 2 xl shirts and they fit ...i was soo excited, 1 for getting them for 1.99 each and 2 for being able to get something on the skinny side of the store !!!

    Yay! People are in the thread again! I did well this weekend, staying within calorie goals and getting lots of water and fiber.

    Julie - I like the exercise challenge! Especially since I'm sort of already doing it and it will make sure i get my *kitten* to the gym this week.

    Deb - I hope everything goes well you you all with the pre-qual and house build! One of my friends recently built a house and I know she loved picking out all the hardware and cabinetry and whatnot.

    Jess - The lowlights look great!!!

    POS - good luck with staying on track today! Hopefully having a plan (for both food and exercise) means that you'll stick with it and get those 5 pounds off before October!

    Cris - welcome back! Good luck with your goals - we're all here to help you get there.

    Elmo - you're looking amazing!!! Sometimes those weekends just happen, and if you had fun and enjoyed yourself, you know that you can get the pounds off soon.



    I'm in the middle of planning out this coming week as my class will be on a trip for 3 - 4 days...gotta know if the places I'm going have a gym, what I can expect to be eating, etc. I'm getting stressed, because I know how badly my stomach reacts to really fatty food now. Hopefully I can research ahead of time so I'm not taken unawares like I was last week!

    Big presentation in an hour - wish me luck!

    Lauren -- Seriously? You look freaking amazing! How about I'm going to use you and your size 10s as motivation to take my lazy size 12 *kitten* to the gym after work? :smile:

    Edit: Just a few minutes ago, an employee told me I "favor" my supervisor and asked if we are related. I took that as a huge compliment because my supervisor is GORGEOUS! And a size 6! :laugh:

    Lauren: You look awesome! Way to rock the size 10s. I have to agree with Cris about your hubby holding on tight and having a gun to fend off other guys.

    Julie: Thanks for the challenge. It's definitely needed while I wait (not so patiently) for my ChaLean Extreme program.

    Cris: Welcome back! You know I've missed you, so it's nice to see you here again.

    Deb: Best of luck on the house. It's gorgeous! Congrats on the shopping adventure as well.

    Nancy: Great job avoiding happy hour all of last week. We knew you could do it!

    As for me, I ate pretty terribly all weekend, but we did hike a bunch yesterday AND I did the BL Power Sculpt DVD. My triceps are the only part of me that is unhappy at the moment, but they're one of the places I need the most work, so that's okay.

    Reminder to you Biggest Loser fans...it starts again tomorrow!

    Cris-Welcome back!! So happy to see you here!

    Meokk-Hope your doing well. We miss. Hope you don't have too much wedding chaos going on. It's crunch time.

    Heather-I ate terribly this weekend as well and drank terribly. Oopsies! Insanity starts the 27th! Let's do it!! I'm really excited to compare results

    Lauren-I can't wait to see the pic tonight when I get home. Can't see it at work!!

    purple-Good luck on your presentation!

    Julie-That's a great compliment. I think I might have to use Lauren's size 10 self as motivation as well..haha..get my size 18 butt to the gym! I did try on some 16's yesterday and they did zip this time, just wasn't pretty!!

    Not real hungry today. And my stomach is all kinds of angry at me. Probably punishment from this weekend. But I had a great time..despite the drama Saturday night. Never seen men have so much drama and get involved in their boys love life. MEN! haha! I need to get a workout in tonight and hit the tanning bed...least I don't have laundry to do tonight! :drinker: :tongue:

    Juile , thanks for the great challenge! I am going to work my butt and get to 200 soon. Btw, Love (:love: ) the profile picture.. (I'm not intrested in you in that kinda way.....just stating the truth)

    Jess, I love your hair color. You look great girly! I dyed my hair ( a while back) to mahogany red and it looked great, however, with all the pool water my hair feels so dry and the mahogany does look right anymore so I am planning on changing it back to my original hair color (black/brown).

    Litdeb, the home looks beautiful and I hope the pre -equl and home building pulls through. Congrats on shopping in the “skinny side” of the store…way to go girl!

    Meokk, miss you terribly. Hope everything is going great with the big day quickly approaching…

    Cris, where have you been…WE all MISSED you!!! WELCOME BACK!!!!

    Elmox, dang, you look great!!! Amazing progress :)

    Purpleprose , good for you for staying on track during the weekend! That is the hardest part for me. And god luck on your presentation :)

    Heather, way to go on doing BL power sculpting..and I can’t wait for Biggest loser to beginning I need more motivation :)

    I hope I didn't miss anyone..if so didn't mean too :flowerforyou:

    Hey, has anyone tried that new Dunkin' Donut breakfast sandwich/flatbread. I ordered it yesterday because I forgot my b-fast at home when I went to send my kids to religious school. I ordered that veggie, lowfat cheese, and eggwhite flatbread and it was like 250 calories.

    I am planning on buying that flatbread because it was soooo goood and making my own.

    Thank you so much for the kind and encouraging words! Makes me feel all fabulous! :smooched: :blushing: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

    I'm taking Julie's challenge to heart today and will be hitting the gym for the first time in awhile. Time to put that membership $$ to work! Thinking I'll head home then immediately to the gym. Catch some fun TV on the treadmill. This is a good challenge for me this week because it's actually going to be a challenge!! I've got exercise plans tonight and tomorrow, but Wednesday and Thursday are going to be tougher to make happen. We've got friends coming in town on Thursday night, so I'll have to balance being a hostess and prioritizing myself.

    In other news, I am a peeing machine today! I've had 64 oz of water in the past 5 hours and gone to the restroom at least 5 or 6 times. At least I'm getting exercise getting up and down for the restroom!

    check in
    calories - on target (if I count all my exercise calories) which puts me @ 1,920
    water - currently @ 88oz...but I will get to 100oz before the day is over
    exercise/challenge - 25 minutes elliptical and 28 minutes shred (by jillian micheals) = 400+
    proud - that I didn't eat the entire house...which I wanted to do after finishing jillian's shred..my legs were like J.E.L.L.O. I was so famished so I had a protien shake then some peanut butter and gala apples. But I do have to confess that I had 3 (1oz) bags of Sun Chips...I feel like sh** and ashamed as to what I have done to myself. I thank GOD those were the last bags of chip we had in the house.

    enough rambling..have a great evening!

    Cris-Even if it was for 60 seconds that's awesome!! Great job getting back on track, even if you were over your calories. WIth your calorie burn I bet your netting a good amount!

    POS Me-Good job on doing your exercise you had planned for. Glad the chips are out of the house. Just looking at them is rough.

    Lauren-I'm with you! I been going to the bathroom allll morning..except I've only had 2 bottles of water!! Maybe I'm dropping some water retention from all the beer this weekend!
