Over 200 New Year New me Part 39

Momma24

Hey ladies,

I am not weighing in today. I forgot to get on the scale this morning. I think I lost about 3 pounds though. I checked my weight in the evening yesterday and I was down like 2 pounds and it was night time. So I will try again next week.

Ryan had a GREAT day!!!!! I am so thrilled. Usually a real bad day means there are going to be several in a row. This in itself is an improvement. Only bad in the morning, recovered for the day and left it behind him(wed). Today started off well and ended well. I think this means he is starting to "get it" I felt so sorry for him today though. They were doing assesments on him to see where he is and they asked him to "stand by the chair" He would push the chair under the table then go back to his chair. They would say "No, STAND by the chair" so he stood ON the chair. Broke my heart!! My little guy just could not understand what they wanted of him. This is the "Language" part of his delay. You hate to see your child struggle. He was so proud of himself for standing on the chair he really believed he followed the direction. But all that aside ♥♥♥♥HE HAD A GREAT DAY♥♥♥♥

Well I'm up a pound from yesterday which is a bummer, but I just now realized that the pretzels I had last night had an INSANE amount of sodium in them so I'm hoping that it's just water weight that goes back down tomorrow.

I did my first real outdoor run today - it is simply gorgeous here - and did 1.5 miles in about 20 minutes and just really enjoyed running on a nice morning. It really gave me confidence that I can do the full 5K in 2 weeks. :happy:

Yesterday's check-in:

Cals: 113 under
Water: 9+ cups
Sodium: 693 over (UGH)
Exercise: none
Proud: I went out and (other than those damn pretzels) didn't snack on anything, avoided drinking, and still had a good time.

Awesome job running outside Allison!

Momma -SOOOO happy Ryan had a great day! *happy dance*

I had a not good day yesterday. I was really tired and I ate way too much crap. I tried to make a healthy lunch, had 2 bites and nearly threw up. It's like the only thing I could stomach was cheese pizza. :embarassed: So, that's what had for breakfast and lunch. For dinner I scoured the pantry for boxed mac & cheese. *sigh* I had none and ended up eating Ramen! :noway: Somehow after all that crap & sodium, I'm down 2 pounds from yesterday morning so I actually feel okay about my weight. I don't really think I've gained much and if I get my sodium back under control I should be back down to 193-194 in no time. I feel better about food today and I'm about to go to the gym (any minute now... really... ).

Hello everyone, I am ready to go today. Today is day #4 that I have stuck with it and I know that I can do this and this time I will not give up. I hope you all have a great day!!

R2L (sorry I can't remember your name) - congrats on sticking with it for the past few days!! Sometimes all it takes to jump start this process is a few days of success and realizing that you CAN do it! :flowerforyou:

Julie - Sodium is a little b!tch. I'm in a fight with sodium today. :laugh:

Lunch then off to the library to get some work and studying done.

This phone drives me crazy. If i mess up it messes up everything and i have to start over. Ok here goes attempt no.2.
laura, great job staying focused! It will get easier.
Momma, so happy about Ry's good day! One day at a time, girl.
I am sitting in the parking lot of shop n save waiting for my dad to finish shopping. I had to get on to share my exciting news. Today it is pretty chilly in lou and of course i ran out without a jacket. I was freezing so when my dad and i went into walgreens i saw these sweatshirts for $5. I NEVER buy clothes in a store because they never have my size but i thought what the he'll i'm freezing. So i bought their biggest size,a 3x. IT FITS! I BOUGHT SOMETHING IN A STORE AND IT FITS!. PLIS I PUT IT ON RIGHT THERE IN THE STORE IN FRONT OF GOD AND EVERYONE! !! This is huge for me! I almost started crying in walgreens. I just tried it on like a normal person!

YAY NANCY!! (there really needs to be a happy dance smiley!)

I went to the gym! I went to the gym! I burned 647 calories in 65 minutes keeping my heart rate at what I consider to be a safe level for me and the little one. I feel like 160bpm is reasonable and I can still sweat without getting out of breath or being overheated.

Normally after a visit to the gym I feel PUMPED. But today I totally zonked on the couch the second I got home. Welcome to ridiculous early pregnancy fatigue. And Laila, I don't believe for a second that I've miraculously escaped morning sickness. I definitely think it's yet to come. I have moments of :sick: but nothing really constant. I think in a couple weeks I'll be singing a different tune though.

Also.... there's a flipping mouse in my house and my cat has proved herself to be far too lazy. :ohwell:

Cals: 2031 (616 deficit)
Exercise: 30 minutes elliptical; 15 minute walk/jog; 20 minutes biking

Proud: I finally have myself back under control.

Lowest weight I've seen in a while this morning. I'm sooooo happy to see it go down instead of up! It's enough to motivate me to get back to the gym today. I really do enjoy the gym I just hate that it's so far from my house. I have an awful craving for banana pudding today so I have to free up some calories! :laugh: I know that's not exactly a healthy goal but honestly, burning some extra calories is my best defense against these cravings, they're nuts!

Good Morning everyone! Glad today is a new day. I did so good all day yesterday then right before bed time I was so hungry so what do I do but eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and went over on my calories. I am not going to do that today. I will finish today well. I wll just have to stretch out my snacks to where I am not hungry at bedtime. I hope you all have a wonderful day!!!!!!!!!

Happy Monday morning ladies!! Back to tracking today for me. My trip to Mexico is booked!! I leave January 29th!! So excited! Going to get my passport today. Can't decide if I wanna hit it hard with Insanity again or take it easy going into things again and start slow. Any thoughts?

tlrue

Trying to con my motivation into coming around. I think pajama pants have some kind of magnetic property that is attracted to the couch....

Happy Monday, all!

HeatherMN

Nancy: A big congrats on your Walgreens sweatshirt! That's SO freaking awesome!

Jess: Yay for having your trip booked. I guess I would go with INsanity because I like having a routine to follow rather than just putting something together myself, but that's because I lack discipline. I'll be jumping back into ChaLean where I left off today.

This weekend, we got our first snow and it was several inches. Snowmobiles have already been out whizzing around and we're starting to plan our first time out with the snowshoes. That being said, I doubt I'll do the 5k this weekend because it's supposed to be freezing (high in the low-mid 30s) and with me not being prepared, I'm not sure I could do it. I may still sign up for one next week, but we'll see how I do with the exercising this week. I hate to disappoint you all, but I just really don't think I'd do well running in the snow, cold and ice! Such is life in Minnesota.

After slacking off all of last week including the weekend and not logging calories, I'm back on track today. I think I needed a break but I'm ready to go again today. I've got my meals planned for the day and have a goal in sight. The bf and I were looking into planning our Montana vacation for June 2011, and we found the place we want to go to. We have to start saving money, which means we need to stop eating out, which will also help with weight loss.

We're hoping to book a trip to Bar W Guest Ranch near Whitefish, MT, which is 23 miles from Glacier National Park. It's a total cowboy experience with all-inclusive packages. That being said, I want to be a HOT cowgirl by then! I'm so excited bf said he's always wanted to take such a trip because it's something I've wanted to do since I was little. Now I have a goal to work toward and I really think I can hit my goal weight by June. That's only 5 lbs. per month. So, here we go!

Alright, I'll wrap this up for now! Have a great day!
