>>>>>VENTING<<<<<<<
Ok, I have a bit of a dilemma..
My older son (13 y/o soon to be 14) went to the physician yesterday (new office and new doctor), to get his “sports evaluation physical” form filled out ( trying out for football) and well, the physician decided to do a whole routine physical ( which he hates to do). She started asking him questions about his nutrition, fitness, and overall day… took his weight (190) and height (5’ 6) ..and talked about the meds. He is taking ( inhaler – only when needed). The end result was that he is eating way too much food..instead of eating 3 meals and 2 snacks; he is eating 5 meals…portions are too big and not enough exercise. She also mention that his blood pressure is a little high ( 112/84) not sure why because nobody in either side ( dh or mine) has hbp.
She put him on a 1800 – 2000 calories and to exercise 30 minutes every day. My whole dilemma is he will be practicing 5 days a week (for football) for about 2 hours every day. Not sure if he should be eating that, much or more do to practice. I want the best for my children and I am willing to change his food choices is it’s going to benefit his overall health.
He is, overall, healthy…he was always overweight since he was born. Previous doctor never mentioned any kind of weight issue..jsut that he is a well rounded big kid. What should I do?
I signed him up to MFP because I wanted to see how much is he eating..I will upload his foods for the day.
Thanks for listening/reading…0 -
Laila -- I think it's a great thing that he's so interested. This is my non-medical opinion, of course, but I don't think he should eat less than 2000 calories/day if he's at football practice for 2 hours. Maybe think about keeping him around 1800-2000 cals with 30 minutes of exercise on a regular day & then add an extra snack like an apple & pb or chocolate milk on the days he's at practice?0

Good morning girls,
Julie- I agree that the apartment people tell everyone that. Most people dont bother to fight it and assume they were in the wrong or that there is nothing they can do. Congrats on potentially seeing 190! That damn number has been my nemesis! anytime I got close is when I fell of the wagon :sad:
Heather- I agree that she has become a toxic friend, but shes still to an extent a good friend. Im trying to almost kind of pick my battles with her. There are times I cant even talk to her so I jsut excuse myself and call her when Im ready.
Blue- your running story made me tear up. I can imagine your kids clapping for you..how cute! I miss u!
Meook- I miss you too girlie! Im sorry work is so crazy...oh and you lost me at "veggie" lasagna :laugh:
Posme- My 8yr old stepson plays football, and its not nearly as hardcore as high school football and trust me its plenty of excercise. Even if your son is slightly overweight now just playing football should be enough to get him into shape. I suggest you let him continue eating what hes been eating- 5 meals if thats what he wants, but watch his portions and maybe try to get him to eat less fatty food. From what I read about boys (a lot) is that they do tend to eat more meals as they are growing older, especially thorugh puberty. Its just important to make sure that those meals arent all just fat and grease, and that excercise is incorporated...which football is more than enough. Good luck!
Cheking in:
calories- 1105 ---supposedly. I ate 2 chicken soft tacos, it had chicken, some kind os red sauce, lettuce and some cheese. I logged 2 at 555? does that sound right? they were fairly small about the same size if not smaller as taco bells
water- yup, could have done more though
sodium- according to MFP I was at 2420 but I think I was way over
excercise- spin class....we had a new instructor the other one was out sick and this lady sucked it up big time. I didnt even finish the class, she was horrible
proud- that I went to dinner, went to the gym, got my motherly duties done and enjoyed time with my hubby to be...felt like I did it all yesterday! Usually it overwhelms me and tires me out but I was good to go!0 -
Good to see you Blue and Meokk!! We've missed you both!
Blue - WTG on your jog. Time to get some more support for the ladies. LOVE that your kids were so supportive and excited for you!
Laila - I think it's great you're signing up your son for MFP. Just knowing what you are eating is a huge step in being cognizant. Also agree w/Cris that he'll get tons of exercise w/football.
Heather - I love reading your updates about ChaLean! Very inspiring!!
The little e-mail blunder I had yesterday seems to have fizzled out, which is good. I'm going to get over it and learn to be more careful when sending e-mails to 4000+ people. Last night's beer event was great fun - they had 10 oz glasses, so I was able to try 3 different beers. I'm also pretty happy that with 3 beers and two tacos from the taco truck I was only over by 114 cals! I call that a win!
9/29 Check-in
Cals - 1314, over by 114
Water - Only 64 oz....need to get it up today!
Exercise - Nada
Proud - Was told by a girl in our office that I'm her "inspiration"!! How freaking cool is that?!?!0 -
blue-I miss you so much! Were always thinking about you! Your students sound so sweet. That's so nice of you to take care of your nephew like that. He's lucky to have an aunt like you!
meokk-The JD TOTALLY has the cup holder!! Too funny!! Wedding is getting close? Take care of yourself!
Juile-Here's to hoping you see the 180s this week!!!
Lauren-Hope your okay after your night.
Heather-Great job on keeping the workouts up. I didn't do mine this morning, I'm going to do it tonight! I'm ready for a butt kicking from Shaun T!! WOO!! I'm still feeling Tuesday's workout!
Laila-I haven't figured it out yet. I asked my friend and she said her sister in New York is the one who copied them. I think I have a different burner on my other computer. Let me look at that tonight! Note to self!!! As far as your son goes. My soon to be nephew was slightly overweight last year. BIG kid!! He's like 6" at least..but was kind of chubby. He joined football this year and has already slimmed down. I agree with Cris. Let him continue eating, just monitor what he's eating and see how football affects his weight loss.
Cris-Sorry about your spin class. How disapointing!! But glad you got EVERYTHING done AND still had time to spare and enjoyed it all! Great job staying on track this week. So proud of you!!
Yesterday was NOT a good eating day...so my check in for yesterday is over on everything with no exercise. These steroids are making me HUNGRY. I went to dinner last night...and I looked down at my plate at the end of the night and realized I had eaten almost everything..I was stunned. I looked at Rickey (my neighbor) and said "Who ate all my food!?" and he replied "the steroids". Yep. I had mexican and ate the rice and the beans and my enchilada thing...I never touch the rice and beans. But dang I was a hungry girl! I didn't do Insanity this morning but I most definitely will do it tonight! I'm excited about it! How crazy is that? Ready for my next butt kicking!0 -
Whew, I feel way less "pregnant" today. :laugh: I only have a headache which has been an unusual occurance since I started being healthier (I think it's dehydration somehow? Watering it up now.). I fell asleep at 10.00 last night which is about 3 hours early for me but was totally warranted since I stayed up too late Tuesday.
I woke up early this morning (what?!) and enjoyed a nice cup of half-caff on my porch. After about 5 months straight, it's finally under 90 degrees outside!!! I'm ecstatic! It was 68* out when I was driving home from work last night. And I SERIOUSLY saw people wearing scarves yesterday. :noway: Hilarious! :laugh: Oh, South Carolina.
I didn't see a new lowest weight ever this morning. But I did see 191.6 which is my already established lowest weight ever. I guess (I know) I ate too much (weight wise) last night for an extra loss to show up. That's okay. It'll show soon enough.0 -
Julie-Yay for feeling less pregnant today!! :bigsmile:
I'm wigging everybody out at work today. I wore and dress and nobody knows what to think! Excuse me I only have 4 pairs of dress pants that "Fit" and I can't stand wearing my ones that are too big anymore. They gotta go! And I didn't do laundry so..I felt like wearing a dress! :bigsmile:0 -
Jess, you look ADORABLE!! I am reminded that I need to send you my 14s so you'll have lots to wear when you get there....which I know will be soon. I added in a couple of pairs of dress pants, so hopefully those will help too.
Juile, glad you are feeling less prego today. Drink drink drink!!
I'm hydrating it up in hopes that I get to go to hot yoga again tonight. It all depends on how much work I get done (hmm...perhaps I should stay off the board today...), but I would like to go. Two classes in one week is my goal for the fall, and it's officially fall, so I guess it's time to get started!
I think Jess asked about the difference between hot yoga and yoga. The hot yoga I do is the Vinyasa variety, which pretty much means you are always moving. One move for the inhale, another for the exhale. After almost every series of movements, you "flow". Flow = plank into lowering yourself down in a push-up (elbows go back into your body instead of out at a 90 degree angle. From there you go into an upward dog, which essentially means lifting up your chest and arching it backwards, and then into your downward facing dog, which is like you're making a triangle with your body.
Upward dog:
Downward dog:
The hot comes because we do it in a 90 degree room. I sweat like a crazy person, but I love it and it makes me feel great! :devil: That's my face = bright red....not really a devil, but that's the closest I could find!0 -
Lauren-Thanks!! First time wearing a dress to work ever! It feels good and I feel really confident!! That's the kind of yoga that I had been doing (those movements in that order where you constantly move as well) but it wasn't 90 degreees! Dang! Talk about sweating buckets!! Sounds amazing!! 0
-
LAUREN!!!! I NEED CLOTHES!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SEND ME 14S TOO! If you have extra! Im still wearing my size 18-20 because I refuse to buy any clothes (im cheap and saving for a wedding here!)
So I just got a call from daycare saying I need to go get my son cause the damn center is flooded! Oy...Im the only person in the office today so this is not going to be good! Off to rescue my lil man!
Hopefully be back to chat soon
Cris0 -
Cris, send me your address via private message and I'll split up the shipment to Jess. We really are the Sisterhood of the Traveling Weight Loss Pants!0
-
jess - YOu look great!!!
Cris and Jess ...look at you getting some new 14's yall will rock them soon !!!
I called the new day care by our new house, just to see how much it will be and such...and it is cheaper !!!! woohoo...was pretty excited about that. Now the summer program isn't as great as where she is now, but she will live. They will still do stuff but it is no field trips...but 80 bucks a month cheaper during the summer...during the year 160 bucks cheaper...given i have to pay 140 up front for registration , and then 100 per kid yearly (paid 2x a year) supply fee...but it still ends up being cheaper !!!
i am soo ready for this house stuff to get moving...still no call from the deisgn center ( we cna't go till after the 12th anyway, but still), wiating for a call from our sales lady regarding the fit of the elevation of the house we want...if it won't fit we have to go with a different front of the house, still nice but not as much as the 1st one..but really don't want to give up my corner lot for a little more porch space.
They cashed my earnest money check so i know they are doing something 0 -
Deb-Hope things get moving on the house for ya soon! I knwo your excited. That's great about the daycare!!!
Lauren-Let me know when you send them I'd be more then happy to send you some money for shipping them! I'm not quite to 14's yet but I HOPE to be there SOON. I think Insanity is going to help with that a great deal..
So I'm feeling very overwhelmed. I forgot about a bunch of stuff I had to do. Or want to do I guess. I wanna go tan after work (this relaxes me), stop by adult beverage store for party favors for tomorrow's Ranger game. Would like to go buy a shirt for the Ranger (probably not gonna happen) and then go home workout and bake cookies. And then get enough sleep to get up and do a workout before work. I thought about quitting Insanity and trying to start again next week due to being sick and no time but I'm never gonna have more time. I have a busy life with lots to do. Just need to make sure I'm getting my butt up in the mornings to workout. Thanks for listening to me vent!0 -
Jess -- you look awesome in that dress! Even though you'll be busy this evening, it sounds like most of the stuff you have planned will be fun!
Deb -- YAY for saving money on day care!
Bah, I've talked myself (with the help of dh) out of the gym for the 2nd day in a row. Boo! I've been a little dizzy/wonky for the last couple of hours & just generally feel pretty blah. My supervisor went home sick about 2 hours ago. :frown: Dh just called me and was super excited. He bought me a gun. :laugh: I never really thought I'd own a gun. But after living in my neighborhood for over 3 years without one of my own, I can't say I'm not super relieved.0 -
Jess - good luck with all your stuff...that sure made me tired
Julie - I was thinking of you on my bargain of the week at kroger they are having sell on all detergent, i use it all the time, and usally like 5 something for the size i get, it is on sale for 2.99 i was soo happy i bought 4...then when i got home and was cutting my coupons, i found 3 coupons for 1.00 ...they are still on sale now , so i am going to get 3 more for 1.99 a piece...i will definetly be set on laundry detergent for a while :bigsmile:
I feel good, i had my meeting with my boss today, and somedays i feel like i have been lost , and the lead programmer who has been helping me has been telling her what good job i am doing and that he really likes all the questions i ask and the he knows i can get it done...since i was feeling super stupid ..made me feel good....he keeps telling her all the stuff he wants me to do...to me that is a huge complaint , he is super smart and he thinks i can do all this (which somedays i don't think i can )
My most exciting point of today !!! I just checked sernea's grades, (6 weeks ends tomorrow), and right now all a's and b's. I was scared because one day (2nd week of school) she got in her mood i don't want to do this and got a 33 on an assignment, she had got 100 on the other 2 assigment but had her at a C, she got a 100 of the 4th assignment and now up to a 82, as long as there isn't a whole bunch the teacher hadn't put in , looks like she will get 4 a's and 2 b's..And most of the a's are really good a's, 100 in reading 95 and in math and 93 in writing..yes people a 93 in writing...the subject that she struggled soo much with !!! I am hoping these are close to the final grades and she gets all a's and b's this 6 weeks....I am soo proud of my little girl she is doing soo good in school and makes me just want to cry...of course we are still having accident issues, but there may be moremedical reasons for this...
Okay my ramble is done.!!0 -

I'm back! Flew through the monsoon that is the east coast and am home in my pajamas just about ready for bed.
I am so tired and am nervous about the scale tomorrow...I just know that it'll be up for the week. I'm going to hit the gym hard for the next few days and do my best to meet my goal for next week, but it really just might not happen.
Looking forward to having some control back in my life in the next couple of weeks and getting back on track!0 -
Good morning ladies!! Happy Weigh in Day!! No loss for me this week..a little over a 2 pound gain. I'm okay with that. I got a good solid workout in this week and it's my first week of insanity. To be expected! Plus I had a bad sodium day Wednesday and I hate a late late late dinner. Going to make good decisions this weekend! Minus the beer tomorrow for the bachelorette party. But I WILL workout tomorrow morning! :bigsmile:
Jess.....+2.2.............0%0 -
Sad to say no loss this weekend...wasn't really expecting one after this past weekend. Since i was 4 lbs up at the beginning of the week, i will take it, and hopefully next week it will be gone and i can get to or close to my 1/2 way mark.

Morning,
Not really a loss today, I am still not at my lowest weight ever (201.2) which is really starting to bug me. Jillian has me working out every single day...and today I am really sore from Level 2..she has me doing so much planks it becomes unbearable! I did go over my daily calorie intake,but not over my exercise calorie intake..not sure what going on with my body. I do feel my legs, stomach, and arms getting smalling but not reflecting on the scale:sad:

New lowest weight ever - 191.4! The scale *wanted* to go down to 191.2 but waffled back and forth forever & finally settled on 191.4. It did that the 3 times I stepped on it so that's what I'll take. Not very thrilling. :laugh: I'm just happy to be moving at all in the right direction, especially considering I consumed over 3000mg sodium yesterday. :noway:0 -
julie - wTG...with that .2 lbs you are our biggest looser thus far !!! a newest lowest weight is great !!!!0

Hi girls,
Not weighing...working from home daycare still flooded...sigh
Anyways scale is at 204.8 this morning...Im quite pissed off after being really good all week, both with excercise and eating but whatever, I am not letting it get me down. The scale better be nice to me next friday or Im killing it...thanks
Have a happy friday everyone!

Happy to say that I am back down after 2 weeks of being up over 3 lbs. My 2.2 loss was from my last low weigh in from 3 weeks ago but from last Friday to now I think I lost more like 6lbs ( lost of sodium probably). I ate really clean this week - loads of veggies.
As of this morning I am 170.4 and so eager to be in the 160's I can hardly stand it.
Be back later to chat more :drinker:0 -

Hi Pos Me, Don;t worry at all - you are doing the work and it will pay off soon. When I started the Shred back in Spring I maintained or gained for the first week or two then the weight dropped off. I think it was just my body taking the time to adjust to the new exercising and also my muscles got used to it and were no longer sore and retaining water. Keep at it - I'm proud of you
Those planks are killer - aren't they ? 0 -
I've changed my ticker, as I promised I would last week, to reflect this morning's weight of 188.0. I'm actually not discouraged because I've been lifting (3x this week) and my muscles are sore. My size 10 jeans, however, feel a bit looser in the thighs so I think I'm losing some inches. Hurray!
I'm loving the ChaLean Extreme workouts and did Burn Circuit 3 last night. My hip flexors, glutes and shoulders are feeling it today. I can't believe how many of the moves that I'll have to increase my weights for! Who knew I had strong muscles hidden under my fat layer? Tonight is the last workout for the week! I get Saturdays off, but we'll probably go hiking. So after tonight's workout, I'll have successfully completed one whole week!
Julie: Congrats on owning a gun. That's exciting. I love shooting and have considered going through the conceal and carry course. My favorite guns are single shot bolt action rifles, 12 gauge shotguns and semi-automatic 9mm handguns. I'm not a fan of .38s though. Okay, enough on that. I'm just jealous!
Deb: Great news on Serena's grades! She's doing awesome!
Laila: I plugged the info you gave about your son into Dailyburn.com, the website I use for calculating daily calorie allowances and here's what I found.
To lose weight (I plugged in 10 lbs.), his calories should be 2379 daily.
To maintain current weight, his calories should be 2973 daily.
We have to remember that boys, especially teenage boys, have a much higher metabolism than us 20-30 something females. And football practice at his age is no joke. He'll be working hard and needing to fuel his body!
Regarding his blood pressure, I'm not sure why they would say it was high. 120/80 is normal, so he's right in the correct range. I typed it into google and found info there to back me up.
Checking in for yesterday:
Calories: Under by 90 (exercise cals)
Sodium: Over by 485...good for me!
Water: 67.6 oz., should have had more.
Exercise: ChaLean Extreme Burn Circuit 3
Proud: That I lifted heavier weights than I though I'd be able to!0 -
meook- you are making such incredible progess! Im so proud of you! I wish I loved veggies so I could be like you!0
