Over 200 New Year New me Part 42

HeatherMN

Laila: Thanks for the info on the Dr. Oz challenge. I'm also signing up, but will probably go with 20 lbs because that's what I lost in the same amount of time on WW last time, so it should be do-able.

Momma, Ann and Laila: Great job on the 5+ lb loss this week. You are rockstars! Way to start off the new year.

So, I came on to rant about how my doctor has now rescheduled my IUD appointment twice. The first time, she needed to be out of the office for personal reasons and today she was called to an emergency C-section. I can't blame her for today, but now I can't get in until the 17th. I'm so pissed! Don't they realize I schedule my appointments to synch with my cycle? Ugh.

At least I calmed down quickly by updating my MFP profile to my new goals. I've also requested an appointment at another clinic to see if I can get in sooner since it will be time for my next BC refill before the next appointment they currently have scheduled. Frustrating.

Okay, rant over.

Laila I am in for 60 pounds by July 1st!! Lets go !! I just danced for an hour again YAY!! Love it

Such chatty ladies this morning! I love it!

So I checked my blood pressure this morning like my doctor said. Now it is way low. It's 108/54. So I called them. They asid the 54 worries them. They told me to check it 3 times a day till Tuesday and call them with my readings. They said it shouldn't jump from high to low like that. I'm a freak of nature what can I say! haha

I don't know why the 54 would bother them that seems like a healthy BP to me.My mom is a registered nurse so I would definitely know but I guess all docs are different in there opinions lol hope you feel better

cris20056

Thank you all for being so faithful that I will not be a beached whale on my HM!

cris20056

Checking in for yesterday 1/5:
calories- 1019
water- yup
sodium- 2056
excercise- spin class (yes it hurt! a lot!)
proud- that I did way better in my first spin class back than I thought I would, and I still love it! Also, I had calories left over but didnt eat jsut to eat...I honestly was not hungry at all

tlrue

Feeling a little off today... no loss... boyfriend has to travel for work (which is FANTASTIC for him! He got a promotion and a raise!!)... working at home is getting to me... I still don't know if I'm going to school next week or not. Lame. I applied for a new job (actually in Chicago...). It's for more than I make now, which would be nice.

Given all of the above, I was anything but interested in working out.... but I did it anyway. (go me!) And now I'm a little winded and a lot sweaty. Makes me feel better

I'm hoping the addition of the puppy will help me not feel like my best friend during the day is Hoda Kotb... lol. (Maybe, too, then I'll stop following poor Adam around the house like a lost, lonely puppy haha. Funny and sad, I didn't even realize I was doing it until he pointed it out. Oh dear...)

I'm all in for challenges! My baby sister is getting married October 22nd. I would LOVE to be 60 pounds down by then, but I'm setting my goal at 40 for now and then will reassess come June.

cris20056

Ok...so tonight the plan is to go straight to the gym and do c25k w1d3 then relax

Tomorrow I may do a 930am spin class...and have to figure out how to add the squat challenge thing..

Its amazing how much less I am burning with this new HRM, but it makes me want to work harder to see a higher burn!

Ok sorry one more thing...my sister scheduled an appointment for us to go to Kleinfeld's (the bridal shop on TLC) on January 22. I should be super excited because its a fun thing but instead Im petrified at what Ill look like and sometimes get teary jsut thinking about it. I cant avoud dress shopping forever...I jsut want to be excited to go and have it be a happy day instead of torture

Also, my BFF is getting married in May and I was supposed to have my measurements sent to this lady (shes making all the Bridesmaids dresses) and I tlaked to the dress lady and explained that I am trying to lose weight so she was super nice and gave me until March 1st to give her my measurements! So that gives me 2 full months to lose a few inches!!! PLEASE REMIND ME THAT I MUST LOSE INCHES BY MARCH 1st!! I dont want to be the fat bridesmaid at her wedding (theres always one...and right now its between me and the groom's sister )

lildebbie

CRIS - YOu will loose lots of inches by march 1st ...YOu will be the hot bridesmaid WTG on the 7 lbs...

I went and worked out i wasn't feeling like i was doing great, but i did burn 410 cals so i guess it wasn't too shabby

I ate lunch now i just want the day to be over, got stuff to do this afternoon just ready for it to be over...I have one project and i don't even want to think about it today.

RedneckWmn

I had to share this with y'all. I don't know if you have Long John Silvers by you or not. I've never eaten there. I learned on my lunch break today they serve these things called "crispies". They serve them as a side like french fries or potatoe chips. It's basically left over pieces of all the fried goodness. Fried batter or something. I don't know. It made me sick looking at it. I had to share

lildebbie

jess - i can't stand long john silvers. 1 i don't like fish...and 2 - the chicken tastes like fish cause they make it all in the same batter....

meokk

Ha ha Jess - I was wondering what your photo was - thought it might be a random box of cornflakes :laugh: :laugh:

Cris - you're coming to NYC??????
and yes, the calculation sounds right WTG biggest loser !!!:drinker: :drinker:

It is sooo pretty here today, got about 6" of snow where I am and it's that perfect movie romance snow falling gently and settling onto the tree limbs....aahhhh

awestfall

Meokk- I have been meaning to tell you that your profile picture is beautiful and I love the dress your wearing.YOU LOOK GREAT !

My husbands Aunt just passed away today from a brain tumor that she has fought for 2 years now and I have to tell my husband when he gets home from work today.My heart is broken but I know she is in a better place now and that she is no longer suffering.On a good note my moms cancer has not spread to her lymph nodes under her arm so thats AWESOME!! She will be going in for her surgery on the 11th to have her breast removed and hopefully she will be cancer free.For those of you who pray continue to pray for me and my family.Sad day but also happy in my moms case.

HeatherMN

Ann: So sorry for the loss of your hubby's aunt, but so glad your mom's cancer has not spread. Sounds like a bittersweet day for you. My thoughts continue to be with you and your family.

Jess: I find Long John Silver's to be disgusting but luckily the ones around here are typically paired with another restaurant such as Taco Bell or A&W. The bf likes LJS, but ewww!

Theresa: Great job on working out even though you didn't want to!

Cris: Awesome job at spinning class and losing 7 lbs. this week. Told you that you are a rockstar!

I spent four hours researching costs on a trade show from 2009 and am wiped out now. For some reason it took a lot out of me. A few more minutes and I free for the weekend! Hopefully the bf will have something delicious in mind for dinner.

I should be able to hop on sometime this weekend, but if not, have a great one!

Heather

lildebbie

ann - soo sorry to hear about your husbands Aunt. Happy to hear about your mom and it isn't spreading., i will be praying she is cancer free.

I am soo ready to get out of here.!! okay okay i work from home but still

I have to go to the store as soon as i get off so we can have dinner !! GOod choice so we don't end up going out and spending way too much $$ and way too many calories. We are doing burgers but still after my dinner of burgers and chips and my snacks later i have 50 calories to spare ...go me !!!

elmox

Cris - you're coming to NYC??????

That's exactly what I thought! If so, we need to all get together!

Ann, thinking of your family. Excellent news about your mom!

awestfall

meokk

Ann, wow, what a rollercoaster of emotions for you today. So sorry to hear about your Aunt in law, brain tumors always seem to be the hardest to treat......on the other hand, that's amazing news about your Mom

Oh and thank you for your kinds words on my photo !

meokk

cris20056

Lauren and meook- I would love to meet up! All I know is that my appointment is from 230-4. We haven't decided if we are spending the night or not because of the baby.

Oh yes, you read that right: PLUS TEN. I guess completely eating out of control for four entire weeks with no working out has its consequences.

It is what it is. :ohwell: Onward and upward. I had a really good week so I am walking with my head held high, sisters. I will get this off!!!

Ready2lose4ever

Hi everyone, just stopping by to say hi. I am doing well and sticking with it. I will weigh in Monday to see if I have lost any weight. I hope you guys don't mind but I have borrowed your idea of putting calories, water, exercise, and proud on my blog. It's a good way for me to stay focused. I also keep a notebook with those things in it as well. Thanks for the inspiration. I love that. I hope you all have a great day!
