Phew! I'm pooped! Worked 9 hours, went to hot yoga, came home and worked another hour.
Thanks for the love on the pic/jeans! I'm still in shock that I can fit into them and not look like a stuffed sausage! :laugh:

Have a great Tuesday friends!0 -
Momma-Your family is in my prayers while you wait for answers on Ryan!
Thank you all for your wonderful comments on my new pic. I found that pic last week and was just shocked. I don't even recognize myself anymore. And I believe that pic was taken AFTER I started my lifestyle change. Not sure if I had lost much weight by then.
I didn't track calories yesterday but I am today. I got up at 4:30 to do Insanity. I made it through the warm up just fine..once I started the circuit I started to get light headed..I took a little break and it got better and I started again. Then I got light headed, dizzy, my ears started ringing and I felt like I was going to pass out. This has never happened to me before. My heart rate wasn't out of control or anything. Could be that I was trying to do too much ya think? I had 4 glasses of water while working out. I don't know what happened but I felt like my body was telling me to stop. I stopped at 30 minutes. I'll try and get some light cardio in tonight and go for a walk tonight maybe. Be back later! Time to get ready for work!0 -
CHeck in for 11/29:
Calories - 1650
Water - not so good, 26 oz, better trying today
Exercies - 52 min arc trainer - 405 calories (ate back less than 1/2 of them)
Proud - I am getting but back in gear!!!
Was glad to see the scale go down some this morning, i was down to like 253 not great by any means but lot better than the 258 yesterday...if only i could loose 5 lbs a day ever day
I have a good feeling i will see 240's again by friday. 0 -
Jess & Lauren -- you both look FAB!
Jess-- Maybe you need to try to eat something before working out in the morning? It grosses me out to even think about eating that early, but maybe something small with a little protein like a boiled egg or greek yogurt.
Deb -- way to go on those 5 pounds!
Momma -- thinking of you! :flowerforyou:
11.29.10
Calories: 1980. My goal was 1700 since I didn't exercise. Oh well, at least there weren't many absolute junk cals included in that.
Exercise: None. I was too busy trying to not throw up and die all day (okay, I'm being dramatic).
Water: about 12 cups -- hey, I met part of the challenge!
Proud: I ate ONE serving of guacamole and ONE serving (1oz) of tortilla chips. You guys have no idea how huge of a deal that is for me.0 -
Sounds like everyone has had a great first day of the week
Lauren - you look amazing!! Keep it up!
Jess - I have to agree with Julie... you might want to think about eating something before working out that early. I learned that the hard way when I had a trainer (way back when I could afford it). As soon as I woke up I forced myself to eat a Balance Bar (not too big).
Yesterday was a pretty good day! The anxiety was pretty low... it seems to get worse when I'm not focused - IE the last 6 weeks. TOM should be just around the corner, so I'm hoping to keep pushing through it.
Checking in:
Calories - way too far under. not on purpose, I just couldn't eat anymore!
Water - Close to the 112 oz, but not quite
Exercise - 50 minutes of walking!
Proud - see above haha0 -
Ladies, I am loving the energy and the daily check-ins!
Theresa: Great job on the walk/jog and getting organized. It's all about the baby steps that add up to something big.
Lauren: You're smokin' hot in your skinny jeans and boots. I love the sweater, too!
Momma: My thoughts are with you, but I'm glad things are going better and you'll have answers soon. I just want to hug Ryan every time you share good news, like him dancing and playing with the other kids.
Jess: You attempted Insanity, which is awesome. Always listen to your body. I'd agree with eating a little something so your body doesn't eat muscle to find calories to burn. Plus, it gets your metabolism going right away. You'll do better tomorrow, of that I have no doubt.
Checking in for yesterday:
Calories: 667 left over, but mostly exercise calories. WIN!
Sodium: Over by 794, but still a win considering I'm usually 1000+ over...AND I had Chinese food for dinner.
Water: 96 oz...challenge met
Exercise: Cardio Kickboxing class, burned 568 calories in 56 minutes.
Proud: That even though I had several excuses in my head on why not to go to class (It's snowing, it's cold, do I want to spend $5?, I'm still sore from yesterday's workout, I just got done eating, etc.), I got up and went anyway.
As an additional note, I picked up the new Jackie Warner book, "This is Why You're Fat" book and three chapters in, it's really interesting. She talks about how to naturally balance hormones to lose weight with less effort. She also emphasis working out more intensely for shorter periods (20-30 minutes max). As I read more, I'll share information I feel is valuable and helpful.0 -
Momma I hope you get the answers you need so Ryan can get the help he needs and you can go back to working on you so you can be there for him.
Jess-You look GREAT!
Lauren-Are you sure you need to lose more weight?You look fantastic!
Deb-Nice workout!!
I am sick this morning!! Don't know why but I am nauseated and have a horrible headache!! I hope I feel better soon.Still waiting on TOM0 -
I love seeing the board blowing up again!!
I think maybe I will try the boiled egg or something in the morning. I had a banana which I don't normally do but I felt hungry. Tomorrow WILL be better.
Ann-Hope you feel better soon.
Heather-Great job on going to the kickboxing class even when you were trying to talk yourself out of it. I had the same conversation with myself this morning laying in bed trying to NOT get up.
Theresa-Great job on the walking. Keep it up. Baby steps. Your heading in the right direction.
Julie-seems your symptoms move right along with your ticker. Hope you get a handle on the morning sickness.0 -
jULIE - SOrry about the morning sickness :sad: So do you have an appt with a dr yet?? I know with my girls i went about 7-8 weeks...It is the coolest thing to hear the hb or even more see them on the ultrasound....Since i was soo fat early on they couldn't get a hb sometimes (due to my fat) so they did the the ultrasound so they could see them (not that you will have that problem being a skinny minny )
doing good on day 2 back !! ON target so far at 10:00
Glad to see everyone back in gear!!!0 -
I weighed in this AM expecting the worst...that I'd gained some weight or that I'd gained a LOT of weight...but I'm exactly where I was last Tuesday! :noway: So that's exciting. I am hitting the gym again tomorrow morning and getting back into my workout routine. I'm also trying to develop a plan for the 5 week holiday I have approaching - I can't slack off workout-wise the way I did over Thanksgiving.
So I am sitting pretty in the 23#s at 239.6! I can't remember the last time I was this small, and it really seemed like the 240s flew by, which is awesome.0 -
Quick check in for yesterday - work is killing me!
Calories: says under by over 1000, but really 371 if I take out exercise
Exercise: Elliptical warm-up followed by 45 minutes of weight training with PT (feels aerobic to me)
Proud: That I have stuck with this this long - I usually bail by now.0 -
I just walked by my supervisor's boss (the HR director) and she screamed out behind me "How's the baby!?" I stopped dead in my tracks, terrified to turn around. I finally looked back at her and gave her this look like "How do you know and, more importantly, why the EFF are you yelling it loudly enough for **everyone** in the entire building to hear?!" :laugh: Then one of the HR managers yelled "Oh my, what BABY!?"
I still hadn't answered. I had no idea what to say. The HR director said "You know, the puppy she picked up a few weeks ago! There's no actual BABY!"
I thought I was going to die. :laugh: :noway: :laugh:0 -
LilDeb -- Thanks. The m/s really isn't so bad. I haven't thrown up yet so I guess I can't really complain. My first OB appt is January 3rd. I asked the OB to let me wait until then & she didn't have a problem with it.0
-
Julie - that is good...that is how i was with both girls, nausea but no thowing up...i can't imagine ...at least you didn't blurt out...how she knew or something!!!0
-
Julie-That is pure craziness!! I'm so glad you didn't blurt something out and just stood there shocked! Now when they find out they can look back and have a little giggle about it! :laugh:0
-
Julie: Too funny! How is the puppy, anyway? Did you keep it or did you find a home for it?
I'm lacking motivation today. All I want to do is go home and read the book I bought yesterday. It's cold and snowy here today, so it would be the perfect day to snuggle up with a cat, a blanket and a book. Is it Friday yet?!
I do have to get my lifting routine in tonight, though. No slacking and no more excuses!0 -
bump to find it later...I am already wiped out with all that I am doing...
I am trying to get back to my *routine* but it is very hard..not sure why
I have already tracked my calories for today and exercise found a toning workout on demand (exercise tv) and I felt good afterwards..migt do it again tomorrow.
I have to go pick my son up from pre-school. Hope to get back on later...miss ya'll so much.
Jess and Elmox..love the new pictures..you girls look amazing!!!
Heather, I read that book a while back and Jackie warner had a show on bravo "intervention" also very intrested and educational...she had a lot of great points in the book..I might check it out again because I had to return before I finished it because it was on the waiting list...enjoy it and keep up posted.
Julie, you are just too funny..love the stories.keep sharing girl.
momma, hope you truely find the answers you are looking for..{{hugs}}
now I am late...sorry if i left anyone out...didn't mean to..
xoxo

Heather-I'll make ya deal. You go home and do your workout tonight I will go home and do some kinda cardio or SOMETHING since I only got in 30 mins of Insanity this morning. Deal? I bought a new book the other day too that I can't put down! :drinker: I love when I find a good book!
I was bad at lunch. I went and met the boy at lunch for Pei Wei. Naughty Jessica! But I ate hardly any of the rice! Stuck with the Pei Wei Spicy...chicken and carrots basicaly. :flowerforyou:0 -
Julie: Too funny! How is the puppy, anyway? Did you keep it or did you find a home for it?
Puppy is great! She's getting so big -- gained nearly 10 pounds in the time we've had her (just 4 weeks :noway:). I'm at 99% sure we're keeping her because MIL doesn't want a Pit Bull and no one else we'd trust with her wants a dog right now. I think she'd end up being too strong for MIL anyway (MIL is tiny with a bad shoulder). We adore the puppy. She's SO smart and sweet and snuggly. We named her Stella.
I'm thinking she's going to be a 75-80 pound ball of pure muscle when she's fully grown. I'm really excited to have a strong fierce looking running buddy for after the baby is born! My Greys have zero stamina and my old lurcher girl is just too old to run with me. I can just imagine all the horrified faces as I trot along the canal with a tiny baby and a monster Pitty. :laugh:0 -
Julie, that was too funny about the baby!!!! I hope you feel well and that you ms passes quickly.
Ann, hope you feel better!!!
Heather, thanks for sharing that book I look forward to you sharing more interesting info that helps with my weight loss. I will give Ryan a hug for you today cause he is so huggable. He is always hugging and kissing everyone so if he met you in person he'd probably gladly hug you!
Well, I am feeling good about today. I think I will be on track with my calories and I got a little bit of a walk in. Not much. Maybe I can squeeze Leslie Sansone in today. My vacation is fast approaching but my weight loss has been at a stand still. At least I have been maintaining which is always good. Even though I am still much larger than I wanted to be when I go to Disneyland I at least wear 2 sizes smaller than I did when I went in January of 2009!!!!!! So that will be more comfortable.
Hey I have not been here that much but it seems as if blue and Cris have been missing?0 -
Hey I have not been here that much but it seems as if blue and Cris have been missing?
I don't think Blue has an excuse (
) -- she asked for a swift kick last week. Jess gave her a virtual one and I gave her a lazy poke but I don't recall seeing her around the last couple of days.
Cris is away because her df had surgery yesterday. Hopefully all is well.0 -
Checking in:
Calories - just under 1200
Water - 83 ish oz
Exercise - none really
proud: that I made it through today without completely losing on anyone - yes, it was one of those days :explode: :explode: :explode:0 -
Check in -
Cals - 1755 (eating 1/2 my exericse), came under 195.
Water - sadly only 18oz.
Exercise - 45 minutes on arc trainer (400 cals)
Proud - I am back in this to win it !!
i am almost almost back down into the 240's. THis morning it was 250.5 that was with clothes on so it may of been under 250...8 lbs in 2 days feels good...i know it wasn't real but nice to not see almost 260 anymore...still got about 6 lbs to go till my ticker is true and like 8 lbs to my lowest weight ever...i will get there ...i know i will.0 -
11.30.10
Calories: 2408. Yep.
Exercise: None. Yep.
Water: Lots -- at least 12, probably around 14 cups.
Proud: Oh, I don't know. That I only at 1/4 of 2 chocolate bars instead of eating 2 entire chocolate bars? :laugh: Or how about I logged everything just to see how bad it actually was?
No, I'm really okay with it. 2408 isn't really that bad in the grand scheme of things. If I had exercised, it actually wouldn't be a problem at all but I worked 13 hours instead. Though, apparently, 2408 is enough for me to gain 3 pounds, according to my scale this morning. Just joking, I think that's the baby bloat and sodium bloat double teaming me there. 0 -
Well, I failed the challenge for yesterday. Apparently, spending time with my mom or sister is the worst thing I can do because I overeat and end up sitting in front of the tv with them.
Jess: I didn't read your mini-challenge on the workouts until this morning, so I'll make sure I workout today. Did you do your 30 minutes?
Laila: I read a few more chapters of Jackie Warner's book last night about how sugar is the devil. It was very interesting and I can definitely see the truth in it. I think next week I'll do her two week jumpstart because I won't have the funds to go grocery shopping for extra stuff until Friday.
Julie: Glad Stella is doing well. It is nice to have a tough-looking dog for going on solo walks. My mom's dog is a big black lab/rottweiler cross who looks intimidating but is THE biggest baby known to man. Seriously, he hides from loud noises, the doorbell, etc.
Checking in for yesterday:
Calories: Over by 349...FAIL
Sodium: Over by 489...Fail, but still better than my usual
Water: 77 oz....Fail, but better than my usual
Exercise: None, sore quads...FAIL
Proud: That I only had one soda all day....WIN!0 -
Check In for Yesterday & a Question
Calories - over by 179
Water - 80 oz - still need to meet goal of 100
Exercise - none
Proud: Still caffeine free (over 30 days)
Question: Can you eat to little? If so, what are the negative side effects? With the exception of yesterday, I have had struggled with getting all the way up to 1200 and with exercise, I never make it. Thoughts?0 -
Challenge met!
I had a billion (seems like) ounces of water yesterday, came in under my calorie count (including the two cheesesticks I ate!), and got exercise in.
Only one more week of class left... I have a hundred things to do. Take home midterm, two projects, a presentation, a paper... and who gives a QUIZ the last day of class?!0 -
heather, I am glad you are still reading the book. Jackie's plan is simple, if I remember correctly, eating 5 times a day which includes: b-fast, lunch, and dinner, + 2 snacks (mid-morning and mid-afternoon). the eating requires: 4 protiens, 3 veggies, 2 grains, 2 fruits, and 1 fat. Plus, drinking 3 liters of water w/ lemon ( the lemon is suppose to flush the fat away). also, she mentions the first two weeks (jump-start) is to focus on the eating and then start incorporating 20 minuts of interval training (cardio blasters)..using outside walking, treadmill, ellptical, bike, or basically anything that can go from moderate pace to high pace in a matter of minutes ..
Jackie has a ton of infomation online...if you want I can send you some..I was also thinking of doing the 2 week jump-start to get me eating normal (healthy) calories..
when do you plan on starting the jump-start? let me know maybe we can do it together..encourage and motivate each other through this tough time..0
