It's been an interesting morning for me. Hope you ladies are doing well!
It's not going to be a fantastic eating day. I'm losing a craving battle for chinese. I had it a couple of weeks ago, and it must be crack or something, so I think I might splurge at lunch. There might be trivia tonight, but I'm not sure. Either way, I have happy hour tonight (half off martinis!), so yeah. The gym will definitely be calling my name after work today. I'm thinking it's a bicycle day. I ended up not swimming last night, as I was coughing a fair bit, so decided to take the day off.
The curry ended up being pretty yummy. Even though I threw a jalapeno in, it ended up not being all that spicy. Will have to throw another one in or add some cayenne next time. Served it over some brown rice, and have two extra portions for dinner this week.
So anyways, on a personal note, some interesting developments on the work front this morning. I got an email late yesterday from my boss asking for me to call her this morning. I of course, wish I hadn't checked my email because I was totally anxious about it all last night and didn't sleep well. The only other time she's ever asked to call her was when she asked my feelings on giving up my official VA office (which I was fine with, as I'm never there). So, my mind... definitely a glass half-empty person jumps to the worst. Turns out the project manager/coordinator for my group is leaving next month and my boss wants me to take over for her in the interrim, and also basically wants me to think on whether I might permanently want the job. Eep! It's a lot to think about and some serious soul-searching will have to occur. It's a higher position in research, but I'll lose virtually all of my clinical work with the job, and I really like being able to do both research and clinical work. *bites nails* At least this interrim period will help me decide if it's the right position for me. Was very flattered that she wanted me in the position. It's sort of a weird role to play, as I'll sort of be the supervisor for my current co-workers... official supervisor, but sort of the go-between. Anywho. was NOT expecting that this morning. The other good news, regardless of whether I accept the position permanently, I'm getting a raise! Moving up a pay grade would give me about a 10,000 raise. :noway: Would be pretty mind boggling and fabulous. I'll keep you all up to date. I'm sort of brain fried now for the day and still processing.
I hope everyone else is having a good Monday!0 -
That is such great news Kristina!!! Its cool that you get to "test drive" the job before you decide if its something you wanna do full time.
I'm hoping I will have enough energy after zumba tonight to do another coat of primer paint in the bathroom tonight.0 -
Kendal- yeah, I'm trying to view it as a nice way to check out if it's something I want to do permanently. It would definitely be a change. I'm not really sure how I'm going to handle all of that work, plus my work, AND we're adding a new study to the site. Luckily, there's a relief person who should be able to help out, but it could be a hot mess through into early next year. We'll see. Hope Zumba goes well! What color are you painting your room?
Did have chinese for lunch. It was yummy-- will definitely get my cardio on after work. No pub trivia tonight. Just drinks- which can still definitely be caloric.0 -
Kristina: That's sooo cool about the job. It's even cooler that you get to try before you buy.
My eating was under control today and I did the dog walk and a step video. For some reason my calf is still sore from my 5 miler last week and I have weird bruises all over my legs. Dunno what that's all about.0 -
Bagle with cream cheese and Lox for bfast, chinese (bleh) for Lunch. Now wew are going out to dinner with same guy and I am praying I can get a huge salad with maybe some soup and bread. And wine. Lol
I got to come back to my cigarette hole in comforter, huge stain on ceiling and torn bed skirt, yet clean, hotel room for a few hours. And while I was mostly on the phone with work the whole time at least I got a small break and a chill out.
I am pretty sure I just sprained one my toes hitting it on the "couch". Does jumping around trying not to swear count as exercise?
Tomorrow afternoon the new hotel looks like its got a good gym, big, I will be working my *kitten* off to get some of this ick out of me I've been eating.
You girls have a good night. Sorry I can't reply to everyone. I will try tomorrow. L0 -
I have a very colorful house. My bathroom was orange. The shower curtain is pink with a little yellow and orange and it was just a cute, girlie room. The bedroom is yellow, almost canary yellow, The sun doesn't come directly into that room cause of the tall trees in the backyard, so its not blinding. I'm painting my orange bathroom to a paler-than-the-bedroom yellow. I probably should have done this at the beginning of the year, but how was I supposed to know people are so damn picky?? I mean really?? You buy the house and paint it however you want it.
As of this moment, I have 27 calories left for the day. I am very tempted to eat more. I'm thinking I might get out the wii and burn a little more so I can rummage through the kitchen and find something else to eat.0 -
Lacey - the joys of traveling!!! Hope your having fun.
Kendal - I like color but it does't sell. Most people are lazy/busy and want you to do the work for them.
Kristina - wish I could have joined you for happy hour.
Amy - the bruising sounds weird. Congrats on the 5 miles. I miss running.
I made a great salmon dish last night with veges baked in a foil packet - yummmy. I'm sore today from adding 5 lb weights to some of the p90x tasks. I was concentrating on form last week since the ex were new. I love Amazon - my pull up bar came in last night. I better get out of bed to get this workout in.0 -
I didn't do anything on the wii last night, but I also didn't eat anything else so I managed to stay under my cals for the day. Go me! I moved the scale to the bathroom and was able to weigh myself this morning. 217.6. Up 1 pound. ok.....I'll take it....especially since I was over 2000mg over on sodium yesterday. I have zumba again tonight so instead of my regular bowl of cereal and yogurt, I bought a bacon and egg on wheat sandwich from the cafe.
anyways, I need to get to work!0 -
Kendal- color is totally fun... also totally personal. I'm pretty addicted to HGTV, and that's one of the biggest things they tell you: neutral paints and decluttering are the biggies!
Victoria- nice job plugging away with the p90x!
Lacey- hope the gym is nice at the next hotel. Sweat out that crappy food!
Happy hour was lovely last night. Sucks that I couldn't talk about the job situation, as I was with 2 people who I'm close with, but also work in my department, so I really couldn't talk about it yet, as it hasn't been formally announced to even the whole team yet. This afternoon is our all team meeting, where the leaving is supposed to be announced and to discuss the transition. Will let you all know how it goes.
Been a pretty dang good week so far, surprisingly. Did get to the gym yesterday. Did an hour on the bike, though my legs felt pretty tired (rollerskating catching up?), so I didn't go as far as usual. But, I was feeling really antsy about not running, and my foot had been doing well, so I went on the treadmill after! Just one mile, but it felt so good! Burned in just the way I like. Did a mile in 10:34, which is pretty speedy for me. Did the last half a mile at 6.0mph, and bumped it up to 6.5mph for the last tenth of a mile. Ah running... reunited and it feels so good!
Though I have to say, the break probably has been good for my body. I don't know if it's the change-up with more cross training and less running or what, but the scale finally seems to be moving again. My eating has been pretty good, but no dramatic improvements in that either. Perhaps the mid-low 180s were a plateau for me, and not just Kristina eating crappy, because finally there has been some consisent movement. Even with the chinese yesterday (though I didn't eat much for dinner), I was at 175.6 this morning :noway: Fab! I mean I was around there this weekend, but that was with a later morning weigh in (when I tend to weigh less) Really was looking for 175 by Thanksgiving (as my losses have been so slow), but perhaps I can get even a bit lower by then. Eep?0 -
geez! how can it possibly be 13 hours since our last post!! There was a wreck on my way home from work and 45 minutes later when I was on my way to zumba, it still wasn't cleared. I turned around, came home, grabbed my mp3 player, and headed back to the gym. I got there about 15 minutes after zumba started so I did 45 minutes on the elliptical, a round on all the arm machines, and like, 13 minutes (100 cals burned) on the bike. I still ate like a pig most of the day cause I was PLANNING on going to zumba :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: But I was only 81 cals over for the day so I will call it a success
0 -
Kendal: Bummer about the wreck making you miss Zumba but good job getting your workout in anyway!
Kristina: Glad your foot is feeling good enough to run on and that the scale is moving in your direction. Maybe u can get your scale to talk to mine.
Victoria: You are a P90X machine! You rock!
I've been doing ok. I got a 3 mile hill run in yesterday. Gabe was being whiny and that always throws off my groove though. I think I'm going to start baking my own bread. The bread we get in the commissary is previously frozen to make the trip from the US to Germany and that makes it really dry. German bakeries make good bread but the loaves are small and I don't really know what the ingredients are - not to mention that they are pretty pricey. I'm just gonna suck it up and make my own so I have control over what I'm eating.
Hope everyone has a good day!0 -
I'm being lazy and putting p90x off until tonight. I made it to the health food store and am going to try growing my own sprouts. I also for tempeh. Now I've gotta figure out how to use it. And I need to stop eating the blanking reces cups.
Kristina - congrats on the job prospect!!! Do what makes you happiest. Money isn't everything.
Amy - I love making bread. I should do it more often.
Kendal - at least you weren't in the accident. I'm glad you still went to the gym.
Lacey - have you seen the moose yet. Was the bear siting exciting?
I'm off to water my sprouts, make juice and do the 16 min ab ripper video. I'll do the arm workout tonight. If it's nice out maybe I'll sneak a 2 mile run in (*starry eyed dream look*)!!!0 -
I just changed my goals from losing 1.5lb/week to 2lb/week. It took me to 1200 cals a day so that means I will HAVE to work out every day so I can earn enough cals so that I don't go over. I picked a tough day to start seeing as I won't be working out tonight. I decided on Monday that I wouldn't worry about painting again till I didn't have a gym class to go to. If I can get it painted quickly enough I will Wii afterwards. I will see how this 2lb/week thing goes. If I start blowing it on a consistent basis, I will change it back to 1.5lb/week.
When I see people lose the same weight in a couple months that it took me to lose in a year, I feel like I've failed. I feel like if I tried harder and committed myself more to this, I would be losing weight faster and could really brag about my accomplishment.0 -
Hello????? (echo...hello? hello? hello?)

Tired today and ready for some tea...I am so hungry...I ate close to 1500 calories today too.....ugh....I wish I could decide a calorie intake and stick with it...I have tried upping the calories...but it always scares me and I go back down....honestly the only time I ever ate the 2000 that I was suppose to was when I reset the metabloism back in June...which by the way I gained the 10 pounds and still haven't got it off yet...I had some pictures printed out today and it was from my birthday weekend back in June...I weighed in that weekend at 206.4...I loved the way I looked...I am so sorry that I tried the reset...all it did was put back on the weight it took me 6 months to loose... Weigh in this week wasn't pretty...but I'm hoping it was from some of the foods I ate at the reception Sunday and I have been pounding the water ever since. I was also pretty sore from the first week of p90x...oh, day 10 behind me and I also snuck in a run...tea is beeping...catch u tomorrow...0
-
I'm alive ladies!!!
The thread has been slow since I checked in yesterday morning. Meant to check in last night and the day got away from me. Needless to say, this work thing is keeping me pretty busy!
Amy- glad you were able to get a run in yesterday. Good luck with the bread baking. My dad bakes his own and it's so yummy!
Kendal- sorry to hear about Zumba. You know, I have my ticker to lose 2 lbs/week, which has me at 1200 calories, but I rarely eat that.. even on days that I don't exercise, I just try to stay under 1400... preferably 1300. It can be frustrating when you see people lose weight like whoa, but I think (even though it's uber frustrating) losing it over time, healthy, it allows you to learn and make habits much more permanent, making it more likely to keep it off. Cause, I'm sorry, if I lose all this weight, there's no way I ever want to go back to where I was. Keep it up, and you will lose it... unfortunately it just comes quicker than for some than others. I don't think anyone in this group has lost a huge amount of weight in a super short amount of time. I was hoping to lose all my weight in a year. Did that happen? Heck no. I lost like just over half I wanted to, but it averaged out to around 5 pounds a month, which is totally healthy.
Victoria- keep at that p90x and STAY AWAY FROM THE REESES!!! They will not make the scale friendly this week.
So, this week has been pretty dang stressful. Firstly, let me get the food/exercise front out there. Have been eating well overall.. luckily this stress hasn't led to stress eating. I'm hoping I can learn to use exercise as a way to deal with it versus stuffing my mouth. I like that my job can be challenging, but is rarely stressful. This transition will be. So, eating was good. Weight was still hanging a bit under 176 again this morning, so I'm hoping it'll be good through Friday. Yesterday might involve both a crappy breakfast (continental breakfast at conference) and lunch (going out), so I might take tomorrow morning's weight as my final weight for the week, or wait for Saturday. Did NOT work out yesterday like I had planned. Didn't get out of the office until almost 6, it was pitch black, and I was exhausted. Today, I did get to the gym.. did a 10K on the elliptical, even though I really just wanted to go home. Didn't feel great doing it, but feel good about doing it, you know what I mean?
So yeah, still processing the whole work thing. My coworker leaving was officially announced at the afternoon team meeting, and basically no one by my supervisor, the person who's leaving, and I knew. A bit awkward. Lots of shock.. audible gasps. Still coming to grips with the whole thing. Had a 8am meeting this morning (ugh) with the two of them and the medical director at my clinic to discuss transitioning another social worker out at the clinic to supplement me. I just don't know how much I'll be able to still do there during the transition. *sigh* So, yeah... pretty stressed, but at this point, I'm planning on learning the new responsibilities in little chunks over several days, so I'm hoping it won't be too daunting. Still just working out really what my new role will be. Had lunch with my old co-workers to process it a bit. They are really happy for me, and it was nice to talk with others about what was going down. So yeah... per theory the rest of the week shouldn't be stressful. Attending a two-day advances in psychiatry conference at the U. So I'm actually doing something work related on a holiday tomorrow. Boo! But it's worth the information. So, it should be low stress on that end. Just a lot to process and the anticipation of the crap hitting the fan is a bit nervewracking. I know I can do it though. Thanks for the support ladies!
I hope you are all doing well. Check in!0 -
Got in 76 min of P90X tonight plus 25 min of low impact aerobics with mom. Day 10 done and 80 to go!!! Hot tub still broken (*boo hiss*) Tomorrow is a light day of work, lunch out with 3 former patients, and shopping at Wally world for my company this weekend. Most of the company arrives Fri night but the in-laws are waiting until Sat. Turkey feast here Sunday!!! So many family members work retail that it's easier to celebrate a few weeks early. Sat we are hitting the sales at Mackinaw and having pasties for dinner!!! I bought a 24 pound turkey for 11 people - I love leftovers!!!! The scale loved me this morning and was down to 181.5. Must have been a fluke. Crossing my fingers it sticks.
Deb - the scale hated me last week too. I was up several pounds from the new workout.
Go Kristina Go!!! I'm so happy for you and the job. From experience, it's very hard to stay good friends with people once you become their boss.
Kendal - I think painting is exercise. I'll be redoing 2 bathrooms and the guest bedroom this winter. I feel for you.
Lacey - how's it going?
Amy - great job on the run.
Kim - glad you're hanging out!!0 -
Good morning wonderful group. I posted a thread yesterday asking about calories burned while painting. One of the responses contained a link that estimated my calorie burn so I recorded that as my exercise yesterday. (259cals/hr....took about an hour and a half) I didn't Wii afterwards even though I had plenty of time, but I only went over cals by about 70....I weighed in at 215.6 this morning. :bigsmile: I'm hoping I can get it to stick this week. Not sure if I want to do another night of painting or actually go to the gym tonight. I think the gym will win. Its a night to work on the leg machines. I like leg day.0
-
Day 11 done with 90 min of yoga!!! It's actually the hardest workout. I'm off to get ready for work.0
-
maybe I should pull my bike out, fix the tires and try to find some trails to ride on.....I used to LOVE to rollerblade...maybe I should try to get back into that. I think the last time I tried (college), it hurt my knees and ankles. I wonder how it'd feel now. They will be opening an outdoor ice skating rink in a few weeks. that might be kinda awesome to try too. (I have ice skated before.....it KILLED my ankles....I was TERRIBLE at it)
I've been working hard all week but I havent done a thing today yet. Kinda feeling down. I asked off work for Dec 14th so I can go sign divorce papers. Then I was going through my Sent Mail folder and found all the emails to my bff in the days following the end of my marriage. Might have opened a can of worms I thought I had thrown away.
The boyfriend is working on a project in my town. The project lasts till February. He has a hotel room about 10 minutes from my house, but I'm curious to see how this relationship progresses now that he's close. I'm going to have to put him in his place if he starts disrupting my exercise routine. I'm not giving up my weeknight workouts. I've already given him several weekends, he's not going to mess up my weekdays too. My body can't afford the price of giving up real exercise.
I was 215.6 this morning. Hoping it'll hold till tomorrow. For some reason, Wednesday/Thursday seem to be my lowest weight day of the week.0 -
Just a quick hello. I've been in a conference all day. Had a bagel for breakfast and went out to lunch (veggie sandwich, but had these delicious steak fries with it). I'm pretty exhausted though. All this work stuff has really tired me out, and I slept like crap last night. It's so pretty out. I sort of want to try and run, but my shins are a bit achy from the tread on Monday. I think I might still give it a try...
Was happy with my weight this morning. Hope it sticks for tomorrow!0 -
Tonight I decided to try something. I upped the weights on every machine I was on until I felt like jello/was a little shakey/really had to put a lot of effort in on the 8th rep.
I can't believe how much extra weight I added on some of the machines!!!!
I thought 100 pounds on the leg press was good, but I got up to 160 and probably could have gone for 180.
It was amazing. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:0 -
I am going to come back and read and post on the previous post but I just need to post this while I can.
I am soooooo excited! I did it! I ran, week one day one of c25k! I did every single part completely, it was hard, but I did it. I will add, I have not run a single second in 15 years. As some of you know I have been struggling with the idea of running for a few months now. Now that I have done it I'm hooked! I didn't even fall off the treadmill like I thought I would, lol. In fact I was quite stable to my surprise. What was I AFRAID of?? Nothing hurts, but I bet I'm gonna be sore tomorrow. I am so happy I got over the hurdle of just starting. I wanna thank you guys for encouraging me to go for it. I can't wait to run my first 5k, I'm thinking spring, unless one comes up before then. Again, WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!
K, I have to go tuck my kids in, i'll bbs. I'm sure I have more to add but I'm on such a high right now I can't think.
Edit:
K, I was thinking I was gonna get out of that first run with nothing aching or hurting, Already I am feeling muscles I didn't even know I had and I have only been home 2 hours. I am in for it tomorrow aren't I?
LOL
Thank you GUYS!0 -
Alright, I have a few mins and had a chance to read your posts. I'm still on my first run high hehe. Keep up the good work ladies!
Kendal: Nice job upping the weights, I posted on your topic about it. That is the way to do it keep it up! I also discovered today that I do need to change up my routine to keep it interesting. I was fine with my old workout but was missing the excitement. I will be trying out an adult Hip hop class on tuesday to see if I want to join, it should be entertaining to watch me try to do that. But I'm excited.
Kristina: I hope you slide into your new job without too many bumps in the road. Change can be hard. I hope your weight loss sticks for tomorrow! Thanks for helping me believe I could actually run. Took some time for me to get the courage but I finally did it!
Victoria: You are rocking P90X, now that I have conquered my fears of running I may be able to do the same with P90X. Scares me Yoga is the hardest, I watched the workout. I think it could be very good for the body. Keep up the amazing job. I'd like to see before and after pics when you are done, you did take before pics right?0 -
D@mn. I just typed out a seriously witty post about my engineer and his drum fingers doing double time to my secret favorite band Bon Jovis song on the radio and I had to change the station stat because he almost ruined the band for me...and how I decided today he is like a balding version of a bad '80's hairband...the little sayings and stuff he says at random times at work are generally funny, but repetitively over a million flights and 1000+ miles driven so far this week it doesn't quite translate as funny, rather more like smack him upside his bald head and tell him to get in the back seat so I can have some peace and quiet while I now drive because he is in lala land so much of the time that he kept missing turns...and cannot apparently read simple directions on our blackberries google map function either. Go figure.
Can you tell I am cranky and tired? I am not sleeping well and am ready to be done. Tomorrow I have another day flight, out and back into Toronto, and then home on Saturday.
I have. Never. Eaten so much meat in my life as I have this week. Shrimp, chicken, lox, steak, steak, cathfish, fried chicken, and tonight lox, cured meats from some country that starts with a P that I can't quite remember right now, lobster, shrimp. And tomrorow night we are supposed to eat at a restaurant called The Beast...can you guess? The menu changes each week and it looks fantastic...but let me tell yall. Even if I hadn't been just eating vegan till dinner for the past three weeks, this much meat is too much for my stomach to handle. I have the runs. And it is BAD.
I've only had time to work out once. I bet I've racked up 500 cell minutes this week with work and other customers. There have been to massive fires ive had to put out from afar. I can't remember the other two trips up here being this exhausting and there was WAY more flying than this time. So weird.
Well. It sounds like you ladies are doing great this week! I see people doing P90X yoga (I have heard it is extremely hard), C25K for the first time, having hectic work weeks and painting bathrooms (Kendal - how many coats of primer does a bathroom need? I wonder because I have two taht need done).
I need to see if I can get some sleep...I have to get up at 5. Again. Yeay me!!
Yeah...I am being overly dramatic. Thanks for reading!
:drinker: 0 -
Lacey- My bathroom was orange and I'm changing it to a pale yellow. It took two coats of primer. I MIGHT have been able to get by with one coat on the walls and cut it in twice at the top (where I had to do it by hand instead of with the roller), but I wanted to make sure I didn't mess it up....besides, I had enough primer paint to get two coats out of it.
Kim- I'm SO PROUD of you!!!! You kinda make me want to start c25k over again. But I hate the treadmills at the gym. I have felt them slide forward while I'm running and that scares the crap out of me. Plus I think I run faster when I'm outside, so I will have to find some kind of alternative for the winter.
I weighed 216.4 this morning (:grumble: thats a maintain from last week) so I have implemented a new rule for my weigh in. I will log whatever weight is lowest between Thursday and Friday morning. Its probably the muscle water retention thing after a hard workout, but I am not going to give up doing weights on Thursday nights just because it might make my weigh in worse on Friday morning.
OH YEAH! Mom called last night and one of the things she asked was what size clothes I'm wearing. I told her 18s and she was like "oh...well....I got some clothes lauryn (my sister) gave me that I can't wear and they are 14s and 16s." My immediate response was "I'LL TAKE IT!! I'm going that direction." So yay for clothes that will fit as I get smaller!! Talk about some more motivation!! YAY!0 -
OH! Last night I kinda suggested to the boyfriend that he should join my gym since he'll be in the area till February. He said he might actually consider it cause he used to be all buff back in high school and in the army. He said he could leg press 1200 pounds!!! :noway: that would be kinda cool...give us something to do other than sit around watching tv shows and movies0
-
Well, no big surprise that I haven't lost any weight. Since DH got home, I've been slacking on workouts and a little bit on eating. He's done with his vacay time on Monday and I FINALLY got my P90X so I will start by doing the fitness test tomorrow and start the program on Sunday!! I'm super excited! I need to get my butt back in gear!
Kendal: It would be so great if you and the BF could go to the gym together, I hope he joins! And yay for clothes!
Lacey: I am so sorry for your intestinal distress! Get better soon!
Kim: Good job on starting C25K! I finished it this past summer and went from not being able to run for like 30 seconds to running 5 miles or so at a time. You should be super-proud of yourself.0 -
Afternoon ladies! Again, a bit of a hectic day, as I was at a conference all day again. Pediatric psychiatric disorders. ooh ahh!
So, my weigh-in this week: 175.0 (-2.8 this week). Holy crap, right? I think that's the most I've lost in a week in months. Sometimes I've lost that much, but it's coming off a week where I've gained due to TOM, which totally doesn't count. Pretty exciting to be in the mid-170s... will now be approaching the low 170s! Woo! Only 7 more pounds to get out of the obese category. Really want to continue this trend, so am working really hard on the weekends to stay on task. I don't expect much or any of a loss next week, cause of such a good one this week. Plus, I think in about a week or a half or so, it's TOM, and we all know how that goes!
Didn't end up going to the gym or running yesterday. I was just exhausted. Went to bed uber early, and still struggled to get to sleep. I know it's work stuff running through my head, so still felt exhausted this morning. Am really thankful it's the weekend! My calves are super tight today. I know why though. My muscle aches usually come 2 days after working out. And I was on the octane elliptical on Wednesday and the last 5ish minutes or so, I was really trying to up my speed to get to the 10K distance by a certain time, so in order to really move my legs, I sort of had to bend my knees and lunge some more, and I think it worked out my calves much more than normal, because I am FEELING the burn today. Was thinking of either walking or originally running today, but with the tightness, I was leaning towards walking, but I'd like a bit more of a calorie burn, so I think I'll go to the rec center and bike. Should be okay. Eating was not spectacular today with breakfast and lunch, but should reel it in a bit and dinner and I really want to keep a hold on the eating this weekend to help continue the weight loss that finally seems to be a bit more consistent.
Kim- yay for starting c25k! Stick with it and you'll make so much progress so quickly! I started mine over last winter and look how far I've come!
Lacey- I'm sure traveling does not lend itself to great sleep OR eating. I'm sure you're looking forward to heading home. Nice job not completely derailing on the trip though!
Kendal- it's not like you have to stick to definitely Friday mornings, especially if you can attribute a pound or so gain that's out of the normal trend for the week that morning (i.e. working out hard the day before, eating a lot of salt). If you've consistently been approaching a certain weight all week, go with it! That's one thing that's nice about weighing frequently, as long as you don't become obsessive about it. You know you have ups and downs that often are not permanent but have a direct cause. And you wouldn't necessarily know that I might get uber discouraged seeing that number on Friday otherwise. And yay for free clothes! You'll be in them in no time, and can be good gauges on how you're doing. Remember, the number on the scale isn't everything! I dropped a size and lost very little weight (16 to 14), while it took me like 50 pounds to go from a 20 to a tight 16. I think going to the gym with the bf would be a great bonding opportunity! Better than the pizza extravaganza from last weekend!!
