Beautiful Blues 10/11/10

MayLan

Hello all,

Here's our chart for this week. The person with the highest percentage lost is in green, which is maneyes- congrats to you. Congrats to everyone as well, and this is going to be an awesome week.



We are having great weather over here, with no rain. Saturday night we have an indoor volleyball game at church. I plan on doing p90x and insanity on sunday morning, and hoping to do some clothes shopping. Then sunday we are going to a sweet 15, which should be fun. My goals for this week are to get a motivation to stay on track and to learn that this is a lifestyle change not just a diet. I'll also be drinking water, logging my foods, and exercising.

What are your goals this week?

Chrissy I will post a pix of both my tats as soon as I can. Well I was excites to start my job monday with hubby but he lost his job today because of too many speeding tickets so we will have to find something else.

While we are home I am going to get back into my running I have missed it so much over the past coulple weeks

My goals for this week are to increase my water and start running again

Hi all...I am home alone tonight, well not really. My youngest went to bed at 8:45 and my oldest is working so the house is very quiet. This is hubby's 12-hour graveyard weekend so we don't see him much this weekend. Both boys have soccer games in the a.m. and then oldest son has to work again. My great-nephew's birthday party is on Sunday after church. Other than that we will be hanging around the house. Maybe I'll catch up on some housework???

My goals this week:
Make it to boot camp all 4 days.
Jog the track at church on Tuesday (off day from boot camp).
Drink at least 4 glasses of water daily (baby steps). I switched to decaf and Splenda but I drink way too much tea.
STAY OUT OF THOSE BUTTERFINGERS!!!

Have a great weekend everybody.

Sorry about hubby's job loss. Hopefully something better will turn up. I would like to start back jogging around the church track on Tuesday. That will be my goal.

smadag1

I am going to use this as m,otivation and get back into eating right and back to my jogging to try to keep off the winter weight.

I hope yall have a great weekend right now I have 6 drunks playing poker in my kitchen :laugh: and I am ready for bed :yawn:

I need to start a new this week so I don't get frustrated. I've been a little obsessive with the scale because I had a big loss last week and then a tiny gain this week. I was so excited to get to 135 because that's the top of the healthy weight for someone my height and I really wanted it this week but, alas, it was not to happen. So, this coming week I'm gunna work my butt off..

-Continue doing the 30 day Shred (Monday starts level 2!)
-Run at least a little every day this week except Sunday
-Stop eating Halloween candy that everyone gives me because it's my favorite holiday
-Keep track of / drink all the water I'm supposed to every day

These are things I can do! Hopefully it'll help blast me to 135! Have a great week blues!

Such good goals ladies!!

For me I am going to follow my diabetic diet better--carb counting and checking sugars. I fell off the wagon last night and ate a bunch of dove chocolates....soooo good! I should not have even bought the things. I paid for it later....I had crazy dreams all night and (Of zombies and ghosts---I have had scary dreams with this pregnancy) my blood sugar was high...serves me right. I will learn to make better choices...

I put that quote in my signature. I need to remember that every day!

MayLan

MTDork- great goals for this week. I think you will reach your goal weight and you can do it.

Debnu- Tell me about it with the sugary foods. I always need to remember to eat proteins and what my sugar because I tend to get sugar spikes.

I just got back home from a long day and now the women in my church are going to play volleyball. I am hoping for some fun and just a good workout.

Have a good night all!

debnu1

I finished the bag of chocolates today. Only I did it better, just a few at a time instead of a half bag in a sitting. I will have to never buy those again!

Time to pay bills, the real reason I got on the computer...HAve a great night!!

smadag1

Spent a grat day just chillin with hubby. We are trying to figure out what to do next I think monday I am going to see if I can get foodstamps to help out until we can get a job.

I have had a bad sweet tooth lately and I am hoping that it is just a phase and will pass soon

UltimateLover

I've been having a sweet tooth myself for the last little bit. Mine may be due to TOM coming up and the habits that I have formed while being in school. I'm working to break those now.

smadag1

It has been so long since i have had yogurt I forgot how good it is. Glad I picked it instead of something chocolate :drinker: . PLus i can help fight breast cancer by entering the code under the lid

tamelab

Good morning all...I am supposed to be getting ready for church instead of being on this computer lol. It is beautiful here today. We have an inside birthday party to go to but it would be a great day for a fall picnic. Maybe we can do the picnic next Sunday. Those Butterfingers are finally gone. Hubby helped me eat them. I will not buy those again. I can leave the junk food alone most of the time but during my TOM I just can't fight it. Hope you all have a great day.

Hello everyone!
My name is Christy and Tammy (tamelab) and I were in a group together. I had stopped posting for a while because I was pregnant. The weight gain was necessary, but a little depressing at times. Anyway, I had my daughter on August 26th and wanted to get back into the group and posting. However, the group kind of disappeared. I read Tammy's posting about your group. She has lots of good things to say about you all. I would love to join if you are up to having a new member. I need to have someone to chat with several times a week and need the accountability for sure. When I went to have my daughter I weighed 205. I am now at 174. Hope to reach my goal of 155 by January! Hope to talk to you all soon!

Hey Christy. Glad you joined us. You will like this group. I need to do some typing tonight so I'll chat tomorrow.

smadag1

Welcome Christy we love new members

Spent the day with the inlaws just chillin, right now hubby is lifting weight with his best friend and we are going to start running in the AM. Hubby is going to help me with my workouts and keeping me motivated.:drinker:

chrissyh

Hi Christy - WELCOME! and congrats on the little one!

Well my weekend was filled with stuff to do and I didn't get to run-original plan was to run yesterday but a foul ball of the field behind us hit the concrete in front of my and then hit me in the face. Had a major headache but seems to be a little better today. Will run thru it this evening. Have a 5k in hickory this weekend--will not be setting any records BUT I will be doing it!

debnu1

Chrissy, I hope you are feeling better! That would be an unexpected hazard of exercising!

Christy welcome! You will love this group!

It has been a crazy weekend. I took my daughter in to the dentist on Friday she had 3 teeth pulled (stubborn baby teeth) and a couple of cavities filled. (She told me that she had stopped using toothpaste, you can guess what we have started again...) We did oral sedation and the nitrous. I thought it would be a long day--she was bouncing off the walls!! She was ready to play like crazy as soon as we were home, even though she was still woozy! She never really did crash from it either. I kept her home just in case, but what do I know!?! I actually with help from my hubby even got part of the house clean. It is funny--I had to ask. Why don't I do that more often? Now to tackle the rest of the house today. Wish me luck. I have lots of deep cleaning to do, the dust bunnies have taken over since I got pregnant!

Another quote--this one from P90x on facebook... "As hard as it may seem at times to get into shape, it's often more
stressful, depressing, and even potentially life threatening to remain overweight."

I may steal this and put it on facebook as my status next week.

Thanks for the warm welcome! Hope everyone has a great Monday. I had to go into work for a little while today and left the baby with my neighbor/friend. I hated it!! I don't know what I'll do when I go back to work. Off to clean house and hope to get a long walk in with the kids this afternoon, especially since I had a piece of my daughter's birthday cake! She was 10 yesterday. The weather is beautiful here in NC - sunny and 89. Talk to you soon! Keep up the great work.

cah0806

By the way, when do you guys weigh in? Do you message the weights to someone? Thanks!!:flowerforyou:

Weigh in is Friday - send it to Maylan!

Happy Birthday to your daughter!

tamelab

Hi all...Well I had one of my typical "off the wagon" days yesterday. I went from church to the flea market to a birthday party before I finally came home again. We stopped for lunch on the road and I had a McDouble and then I had birthday cake at my nephew's party. It was only a small piece but still had appx 8 grams of fat. For dinner I had a Healthy Choice meal and a salad but then the snacking set in. I had a 100 calorie bag of popcorn. Then Jordy didn't finish his freshly baked chocolate chip cookie so I finished that. I was heading back to the junk food cabinet when I just made myself go to bed so I would stop eating. I was like a Hoover! Of course, I was up a pound today but I am back on the wagon today. I missed boot camp because I didn't do my work before this morning again. I have to get more disciplined so I can make it to my class. Hope you are all doing well.

Christy...Happy birthday to your daughter.

Chrissy...Good luck on your race. I plan to donate to your cause when I finish working today.

Debnu...Glad you daughter made it through the dentist appt. and is doing well. I never hesitate to ask for help with the housework when I need it lol.

Smadag...Good luck getting started back on your running program. I am starting again tomorrow.

MayLan

Hi all,

Well, I had a very interesting weekend...lol, to say the least. We had our church indoor women's volleyball game on saturday night, and the floor was slippery and when I ran to the side, my right foot stepped on the side of my foot. I am laughing, because this has never happened before.. but this can happen to anyone. I was in so much pain that night I could hardly sleep, then sunday I spent the day at home with my foot elevated and smothered in "icy hot". My foot is still a bit swollen, but I did make it to work today but I am walking on the heel of my right foot. Anyhow...I might look into getting cross training shoes, because I've heard before that running sneakers offer supper when you run forward, not sideways. I'm just making the best of it, and laughing at this thing.... Hubby is picking me up from work... thank you God!

I lost a few pounds from the volleyball workout and my arms are all bruised up. When I heal I will be back playing volleyball in no time. I also hope the foot heals in time for my race at the end of the month.

Take care all!

MayLan

Christy- Welcome to the group, and I'm so glad to have you here. We are a great group of people who motivate each other and support our new healthy lifestyle.

Chrissy- Wish you the best on your upcoming race. Sometimes finishing something is more special then setting a record. So proud of you!

Debnu- Keep those quotes coming. I love quotes!

smadag- so glad to hear your'e well and planning your upcoming workouts.

tamelab- Glad to hear you're doing good!

Welcome welcome! Always exciting to meet new people on this journey.

So far my weekly goals are going well (except that my roommate refilled the communal plastic Halloween pumpkin with sweet tarts and other Wonka products... darn) and I'm learning that I actually do drink enough water regularly which is exciting. Also, while I gained a bit this week, I lost MAJOR inches! Whoo Hoo! Thank you shred! In one week I took off two whole inches on my waist and one on my arms. It's crazy! I hope this week it reflects on the scale as well. Starting level two tomorrow and a little nervous but up for the challenge. AND my boyfriend FINALLY agreed to go run with me today so I'm going to get off the computer and kick his butt :-)

Happy thoughts and motivation to everyone!

tamelab

Just wanted to say a quick hello. I have a light day typing today so I am going to have lunch with my hubby. I have a Bunkos night scheduled with a group of ladies tonight. The other group provides dinner tonight so I have no idea what I will be eating. I will just try to make the best choices available to me. Hope you all have a wonderful day. It is supposed to be beautiful fall weather here in SC.

Good Morning!!
I hope you are all doing well. Sending happy thoughts your way for a great day! Keep up the hard work everyone...

UltimateLover

Good Morning Blues,

It was an alright weekend. First holiday without the boyfriend so that was a little hard. I had a friend accompany me so that I wouldn't feel so alone. How was everyone's weekends?

MayLan

Good morning all,

maneyes- so proud of you for doing it, you're really brave!

tamelab- have fun in your get-together tonight!

Christy- Have a wonderful day! tHanks for the happy thoughts!

MTDork- Enjoy your run with your boyfriend. It's so awesome to run with a partner.

So, my foot is getting better all, and I'm optimistic. I'm taking it easy and letting my foot completely heal. I am at work this morning and tomorrow I have the day off to take my daughter who is 2 to her regular dr. appointment. I'm going to be gentle with my body during while my foot heals. This will be a great time for me to work on my eating.

Take care all!
