Good Morning everyone! I got my daughter off to school, my son fed, now I am going to pop in some cartoons for him and get busy exercising.
Nancy: good job on the stairs and congrats on the treadmill. I so want a treadmill. Maybe one of these days I will get one.0 -

CHECK IN FOR YESTERDAY
Calories: over (shouldn't have had the apple pie)
Water: 80 oz
Exercise: None, unless you count the dance like moves trying to stay upright while "walking" on ice.
Proud: I was able to eat a meal with the family and make healthy choices.
I have decided I am only weighing myself on Tuesdays and Fridays. Any more frequently and I get frustrated and the little ups and downs.0 -
Happy Monday! Yay for a short work week!
I'm exhausted. Dh and I SCRUBBED the house clean and rearranged furniture from 9.30am-3pm yesterday. Our house is looking better and more functional than it ever has in the 3 years we've lived there. I'm really excited about it. Then, my best friend & her bf came over (from VA). They were only spending the one night and this is the first time I've met her bf and I haven't seen her since I went up to VA at the beginning of August so I felt obligated to stay up with them as long as I could. We stayed up playing board games (because of my "condition"
) and really had a lot of fun. Went to bed around 2.30am, got up at 7.30am. That's an ok amount of sleep for me normally but I feel like absolute death this morning.
Also, this morning is the first morning I've woken up with morning sickness. I'm not puking or anything, but the way it has been going is that I feel really good in the mornings and early afternoon & then I start feeling nauseous starting around 3pm. This morning I woke up and immediately felt sick. Now I'm a little scared for 3pm to come along. :laugh: It's probably just worse because I'm so tired.
I only have to make it through 3 days of work this week. Hooray! :drinker:0 -
Julie: I'm with you on being excited about a short work week! Woo hoo!
Lauren: Great job on your 5k! I'm not sure whether I'll be able to do mine since they're predicting snowstorms and 19 degrees, so it sounds like it will be a snowy, icy mess. If nothing else, I WILL do a 5k on the treadmill Thursday morning if the conditions are too bad to go to the 5k. Gotta love a Minnesota winter.
Ladeb: Hopefully you didn't have to go too far on the skating rinks we call roads here yesterday! It was crazy!
Nancy: Yay for getting a treadmill. I need to use mine more...
Jess: I'd love to fly to Texas to do a 5k with you, especially if you read what I said to Lauren about the weather forecast for Thursday here! Ick!
Alright, I suppose I'd better get to work since I only have three days to do five days worth of work! My motivation is hiding somewhere around my desk, I just know it!0 -
Morning girls
I still feel crappy and miserable and really just dissapointed with myself
Even though I had great intentions to restart I regret to say that its not looking good. Instead of clearing the house of junk we ADDED more naughty food. Plus thanksgiving and other stressors have me in no mood to focus on my eating
Brayden started a new daycare today and Im so nervous..this is the 3rd center hes been to I hope its fantastic and he never has to elave. Its so hard to keep moving him but I only want the very best for him and the other 2 just didnt cut it.
My mom is getting on me about my smoking and its really driving me nuts- Yes I know Im not dumb or uneducated smoking is impacting my life and my family's but its a decision I need to make not her, and its really making things tense between us
Bobby (fiance)- will be undergoing shoulder surgery on Monday (Nov 29) and will be out of work for at LEAST 3 months...Its driving me crazy just thinking about it
Job interview- got rejected...
Holidays- broke and in debt thanks to wedding planning...so not very cheerful
So those are my stressors right now...Im going to keep logging in just to chat and hopefully get motivated but not gonna be doing much else than that
Blue- congrats on your new ticker! it looks fabulous on you
Lauren- you look fantastic! how was the 5k...I didnt do it...booo
Julie- yea "morning" sickness really is a misnomer isnt it? More like ALL DAY sickness...luckily I avoided it my firt pregnancy except for a few nauseous moments..I did develop an aversion to ground beef though which was weird0 -
I only have time for a quick check-in, but I think that I was last week's winner.
THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: in the spirit of Thanksgiving, please say one thing, every day, that you're thankful for.
That way there's no pressure for the people that are struggling food- or exercise-wise and gets is to remember that there are great things in our lives.0 -
Great challenge, Allison!
Cris: We'd miss your company if you left us. I understand being stressed at the holidays, but make sure you're taking care of yourself! If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.
Oops, okay, back to work. I'm having a hard time focusing today. I should be accomplishing a lot since it's quiet, but it's not quite happening that way!0 -
The 5K went well - I finished in 36:15 (12 min miles!) and overall feel really good about my time and completing it. I ran with a friend who is more of a runner and I would say that we ran 66% of it and walked the other 33%. Nikki (the friend) would actually just shuffle alongside of me when I walked because she said I walked too quickly! It was on the Coney Island Boardwalk, so that was a pretty cool setting - running along, looking at the beach and the ocean - so different from the buildings, etc of Manhattan.
The weekend was fun. We'll just say I was over on Friday and Saturday and leave it at that!
Checking for yesterday
Cals - Over by 65 w/exercise
Water - 40 oz - not nearly enough!
Exercise - Ran a 5K! Booyah!
Proud - Ran (really, mostly ran!) a 5K!0 -
Lauren -- I'm really impressed with your 5k time! 36:00 was my goal for my first 5k (which hasn't happened yet).
Heather -- I'm also really struggling to focus today at work. :ohwell:
Allison -- I love the challenge. Thanks for being so considerate of everyone. :flowerforyou:
I ate a protein bar for lunch today. :frown: I really wanted a baked potato (like more than I've ever wanted a baked potato in my life). I was so excited, bounding down stairs to the food court to get a potato and they didn't have them today. So lame! I wandered around like a lost puppy trying to find something else that sounded appetizing. I even stood looking at the vending machine for about 5 minutes.
I just want a baked potato! :sad:
:laugh:0 -
Julie: Funny you mention baked potatoes. I'm craving one today, too, and might get myself one for dinner.0

Thankful- for MFP and all the wonderful people on here. I don't know what I would do without this site.
Allison- great challenge!!!!!!!0 -
Ah! Baked potatoes! I was craving a loaded one yesterday and actually ordered it for lunch - the waitress came back and said they don't serve them until 5pm for dinner. I took that as a sign I should not be eating one!
Cris - don't worry about the weight loss right now. Can you focus on maintenance during the holidays? I know that is what I've been doing and I actually lost because I stopped stressing out about it, I am sure.
Allison - thank you for the challenge. I love it!

I ment to post something yesterday, when I logged on, but I got pulled away from the computer and by the time I got back I had forgot what to say...just know I miss ya'll
I have a very stressful week, I am having my whole family (20+ people) coming over on Thursday for a big get together and I have a lot of cooking, baking, and overall nuttiness going on in my house...I hope I can get though it all in one piece. Plus, on Friday dh, kids, and I are going to Atlantic City for a 3 day getaway. Dh and I are going to be celebrating our 16 wedding anniversary and the kids want to tag along. That will be lots of fun:laugh:
I guess dh and I have to find time to celebrate alone...lol.
So that said if I am not posting know that I am thinking of all of you...Have a great and safe Thanksgiving holiday!!!0 -

Good Morning Everyone!! I am in a mood today for some reason, I'm tired and I really don't want to exercise, but I will make sure that I do something if it's nothing but walk back and forth thru my house at a fast pace. I will make sure that I eat great. Today will be day 5 of eating great for me. I will do this. I know that I can. I hope you all have a great day.0
-
Morning ladies. I'm here reading posts just not posting. Haven't had anything to post about. But I'm here!! Just want you to know I'm thinking about all of you!0

Checking in for yesterday:
Calories: Under by 113.
Water: 70 oz.
Exercise: Some cardio & 45 minutes of weight training with PT
Proud: That I am down again today on my weight.
Thankful: That I have a PT that is keeping me accountable.
PT Advice: Adding muscle will increase your burning of calories. Weight training can definitely have an cardio component (I am his living proof).0 -
Checking in for yesterday
Cals: Over by 227, 1427 total - Worked REALLY late, stopped by McDonald's for a Mighty Kids meal.
Water: 48 oz - need more water!
Exercise: Just the usual 20 min commuting walk (this is total for the day, so 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20)
Proud: Got the Mighty Kids meal instead of the grown-up meal. I did not need all those extra McNuggets and fries!
Thankful: To echo blue, I'm thankful for this group! You ladies have been supportive and encouraging. So much of my success is because of you!0 -
11.22.10
Calories: Over by 300something because I was finally able to stomach food around 6pm and then I had 2 unhealthy dinners.
Exercise: none to speak of
Water: wasn't tracking but I drink mostly water & seltzer water these days so I'm sure it was enough
Proud: Dh and I donated an Element load full of really good stuff to the no-kill shelter thrift store instead of continuing to hold onto it and let it clutter our house like it has been for the last 3 years.
Thankful: I'm seriously so thankful for my freaking awesome husband.0 -
11/23/10
Calories- under and doing great
Water- 64oz.+
Exercise- 40 minutes, burned 599 calories
Proud- That I got on my bike and did my exercise, I was in such a mood I didn't really want to get on it but I did and now I feel better and I am proud of myself that I didn't let my bad mood stop me from exercising!!
Thankful- for my hubby and kids who accept me and love me no matter what!!!! I love them too so much.0 -
Alright, I made up my mind. I'm having a baked potato and a hamburger for dinner. I've been craving it for two days now, so it's time to give in while I can still control things! Wendy's, I'll be seeing you soon!
Tonight I have a meeting at Caribou Coffee (yum!), which happens to be right across the street from Wendy's (double yum!). I've planned out my food for the evening and I will have calories left over....and it's a weight lifting night and I haven't counted the potentially burned calories. Woo hoo!
I SO badly want to see a loss this week, even with Thanksgiving. It's a bit of a long-shot, considering I have to lose three pounds to count a real loss, but I'm sure going to try! Okay, that's my pep talk for today.0 -

was going good but now I have went over my calories, oh well. not going to beat myself up over it.0 -
Checking in!
Monday I thought I did medium bad - then I went and logged it and OMG :noway: :grumble:
:noway: :ohwell: :huh: :sad: :grumble: :noway: :ohwell:
So.
Today I will do (slightly) better.
One day at a time. One choice at a time.
My amazing co-worker baked a spinach ricotta cheese pie for me so my dinner is taken care of tonight. My amazing boss isn't in the office tomorrow and he's fine with my working remote so that makes my weekend much less stressful! I'll be home tomorrow to kinda "encourage" my DH to pack up the car and feed/water the animals that will be staying home.
Beth (house mate) will be home while we're gone so the animals won't starve but sometimes she's a little forgetful about feeding... Maybe I should have her take care of me for a few weeks LOL!
Checking in for yesterday.
Calories - over by 1000
Water - excellent
Exercise - sad
Thankful -> I LOVE MY JOB!!!! I love my co-workers and my boss and I love this organization!!!! (University Hospitals in Cleveland)0 -
Hi
been doing ok. Not more than a few hundred cals over but mostly keeping in line.
I have a proposal - how about we weigh in on Thursday this week. On Friday we dont stand a chance!!
Super busy but I hope ur all well and have a healthy and happy Thanksgiving.
Xoxo meokk0 -
Meokk: A Thursday weigh-in works for me. I'm good with whatever the rest of you prefer.
This morning was a big win with the scale saying 184.8. I'm trying not to get too excited since I've seen this number before only to have it bounce back up to a less likeable number. I'm really determined not to blow it over Thanksgiving. I'm going to focus on having protein shakes for breakfast and lunch, get my workout done tomorrow morning and stop eating when I'm full tomorrow. I can get through Thanksgiving without gaining, I can, I can! Okay, there's the pep talk for today.
Checking in for yesterday:
Calories: Under by 290
Sodium: Under by 223....HUGE win!
Water: 74 oz.
Exercise: None, unless stuffing, sealing and zip sorting 200+ envelopes counts.
Proud: That I didn't eat ice cream last night even though the number of calories left over was EXACTLY the number of calories in a chocolate-dipped mint Drumstick.
Thankful: That I have a job that pays well. It can get frustrating, but most days it's low-stress.0 -
I'm very happy to report that I'm down 0.8 pounds from this time last week. :bigsmile:
I really don't know hooowwwwwwwww..... but... I'll take it. I've been *very* active over the last week so I think even though I've eaten bad stuff and I've overeaten a couple of times, the exercise and physical activity have kept me from gaining weight.
I still hate the number on the scale (198.0), but seeing it go down instead of up even more makes me want to see it continue to go down. I was waffling on whether or not to go to the gym tonight so now my mind is made up that I AM going.0
