Sorry been MIA. Have been busy getting tax info gathered for the accountant. Also decided to try a different method "digital" filing paper work for 2011 and am on a learning curve.
My weight loss is pretty much stand still and hold. The good news is I am not gaining. But, I really need to start putting more effort into things.
We got a new puppy. Her name is Haily and she is a puggle (like our other dog Willy) Willy is so happy to have a friend again. I will post pics when I can.
Schools are closed here today because it is too cold. WTH? They are saying it is going to be -40 today with the wind chill. It never gets that cold here. It is -32 right now, brrr...
Well, I guess I will take a little time and cuddle up with the dogs, kids and huny and watch a movie this afternoon! (It has been a long time since we had time to do something like that)
Well girls I should get going. I have a client coming soon.

Yea Im slightly concerned that Julie didnt post yesterday...hope all is ok

I'm here! :flowerforyou:
I was super busy helping a coworker yesterday & then I had my 16 week OB appointment yesterday afternoon. All is well. Well, except that baby's favorite position seems to be a very uncomfortable one for me. When the doc saw her on ultrasound she was like "Woah... yeah.. you're not going to like that postion in a couple months." And I guess not, since it's already super uncomfortable for me when she weighs like 6 ounces. :indifferent:
I'm just trying to get my head on straight again. Looks like I've really slowed down the weight gain over the last week so I'm hoping I can stop it completely for a couple months. The OB was apparently not going to say anything about my weight gain (which I feel has been excessive) so I brought it up. She still didn't seem very concerned. :huh: Then, I had a talk with doc about exercising & she confirmed that I could do what I was doing pre-pregnancy. They gave us the generic "keep your heart rate under 140bpm" lecture at my 1st appointment and I've been really frustrated about it which is a tiny part of why I haven't been exercising (certainly the majority is being tired & lazy). So, now that I've talked with her about it I'll feel a lot more comfortable actually going to the gym now. And I have to go to the gym at least once sometime over the next week to cancel since I enrolled at the gym closer to me. :laugh: Maybe I'll be able to talk myself into going a few times to "get my money's worth."

Okay, I'm going to try to get back into the habit of checking in everyday....this was a great challenge!
Yesterday:
Calories - 191 under
Water - 7 cups
Sodium - 550 under
Exercise - 40 minutes of strength training plus 1 hour of yoga
Proud - I was really not feeling the gym yesterday, but went twice! I'm glad I made myself go to yoga. I felt awesome afterwards.
Today's a busy class day, but I'm heading to Zumba again this evening. Hopefully there are far fewer people there today than there were last week. We were stepping on each other last week.
Oh, and the scale moved down today! I'm now back to where I was about 2 weeks ago. Hopefully it continues downward movement. 0 -
Teresa - Thinking of you and your mom today.
Cris - Yeah for dress shopping. March 5 is set for you! Just put it in my calendar. :bigsmile:
Purple - Enjoy Zumba tonight. I've always wanted to try that, it looks like fun!
Julie - Glad you got good news about exercising. Now you just have to put it into practice!
COGirl - Enjoy the day with your kiddos. Stay warm!!
Mstahl - Good choices with the wine! And I love quinoa!
Blue - Hoping that a snow day will help you recover from pink eye and use less sick days.
Deb - Daily house update? :laugh:
LaDeb - Great check-in yesterday! That sodium level would be tough to maintain like meokk said. NO processed foods!
So last night was the all you can eat/drink rib thing. I limited myself to two Miller Lites, two ribs (well they were HUGE, but only had two!), lots of slaw, and probably too many potatoes (german potato salad + sweet potato mash). I split the cornbread in half and gave it away. I was doing really well until they brought out little cups of Blue Bell Chocolate Ice Cream. My Texas girls will know how awesome Blue Bell is and this restaurant (a Texas BBQ place) is the only spot to get it in the city. So I indulged!
Cals - Over (DUH) - 2100 - about 250 over maintenance. Hey, coulda been worse!
Water - 88 oz
Exercise - Just about a mile walk
Proud - While I ate a lot, I certainly didn't pig out. That counts, right?!?0 -
Cris, you'll have to come "shopping" in my closet/clothes that no longer fit! You can get a wedding dress AND some new wardrobe!!0

i WOULD LOVE TO! God knows I wont buy myself anything hehe! I am actually working out the details for the trip right now...are u close to kleinfelds? its on 110 West 20th Street. Which really means nothing to me, haha. Ive been to NY a few times but never really explored the city on my own always had a group trip kinda thing.
I had/have pink eye last week...the actual symptos (itchy red slimy) are gone but I hear its in your system for about 10 days. My son gave it to me...gotta love daycare...I had pink eye and a brutal cold last week it knocked me on my *kitten*!0 -
Oh and the scale was up today...I know my muscles are retaining water due to the double workout out so its going to be very important that while I do these "two a days" in February that I focus on my inches instead of scale because that sucker may not budge!
At this point inches are so much more important to me! MUST FIT IN DRESS MUST FIT IN DRESS!!!0 -
Hello girls
Blue - sorry about the pink eye...that sucks...maybe if you wear a patch nonone would no :laugh:
Julie - sorry baby girls is in an comfortable posistion, maybe she will move a bit before she gets too big.
TOday is awful awful weather , I am sure glad jess is in mexico and doesn't have to live through this as i know her commute was long enough...here is my texas whining about the cold !!! It is freaking like 20 with a wind chil of 2 ...it rained(if you can call it that ) ice all night long and now all the roads are solid ice pretty much. Of course my commute is non existent, DH stayed home, as he didn't want to drive to work, schools are closed, the day care would of been open but neither of us want to drive on the solid ice street....
lauren - her eis my daily update on the house
We locked in our rate !!! so happy about that. Now less than 2 months, yeah i know 2 months - 1 day ... 0 -
I am doing wonderful with this lower carb and lower sugar thing.I am full and I have alot more energy .I guess because I am eating things that are healthier for me.WOOOOOHOOOO for this!! I am so excited to see what the next few months bring as far as weight loss I have a feeling I am going to have great results as long as I stick to it0
-
Ann: Glad your new plan seems to be working! Yay!
Teresa: I'm happy to hear your mom has been released to go home. I've been thinking about you (Hugs)!
Cris: Whoa, girl, you are a machine when your mind is in the right place. Did you take your starting measurements for the month so we'll know how many inches you've lost by 2/28? You'll rock the wedding dress and be a hot bride, just like Meokk was! I'll be so jealous if you, Lauren and Meokk get to visit while you're in NY! I even checked to see if those airline vouchers I have would get me there to join you, but Sun Country doesn't fly to NY in March. Boo!
Melinda: Great job on avoiding the wine after having chips. I know that was a tough one for you.
Cogirl: Congrats on the new addition to your family. Puggles are so adorable. I'm jealous of everyone having all of these snow days. We don't get those very often here in Minnesota; mostly the schools out in the country get 2 hour delays to give the plows more time to clear roads so the buses can get through. Businesses certainly don't shut down!
Julie: Yay for having doctor approval to exercise. You should definitely "get your money's worth" from the gym before canceling!
Lauren: Yum, ribs sound delicious. Now I'm craving some bbq awesomeness!0 -
Lauren, ummm Hill Country?
Making me salivate. I never tried the ice cream before but we had friends over this weekend, one of whom is originally from Texas and she was going on and on about that ice cream !!!!!
Feel better sickies
I guess we are all getting that storm today, well maybe not Momma.......0 -
Oh and Cris -
I can't say for sure about the 5th because we'll have family in from outside the country and I might have to do something......
I'll try to make time for at least a drink........
Will you be staying over one night?0 -
Meokk - Yup Hill Country. SO SO GOOD!
Cris/Meokk - I'm in Harlem (about a 35 min subway ride from Kleinfeld's). There are a few spots really close to my apartment and the subway where we could all meet and then Cris could come "shopping". Would 125th and Lenox/6th work for Meokk?0 -

Lauren/Meook- Plan are still finalizing..all I know so far is March 5th dont know when we are going to get there or come back! haha Sorry I have no info! But no worries I will def keep you all posted
Maybe we can pick a place where its kind of centralized where we can all meet in maybe a few months or something, Id be in for a road trip....haha maybe we should go to the biggest loser ranch..hehe jk but seriously I dont know who is all on the East Coast but maybe we can arrange a meet up!!
Lauren and Meook are in NY
Laila is in NJ

Ann is in Virginia?
Those are all about 2-3 hours if we choose a central place thats not too far of adrive...what do you think ladies? PS- Sorry if I missed any other East coasters...0 -
Cris, you'll have to come "shopping" in my closet/clothes that no longer fit! You can get a wedding dress AND some new wardrobe!!

Forgot to mention it will make you look like the Staypuff Marshmallow.
Anyone?0 -
lol Blue! I'll have to pass :laugh: I dont need help looking like a marshmallow trying ot avoid that look altogether 0
-
Oh Blue! You're AWESOME! :bigsmile: :laugh:
My sister's school district (Columbus OH) has the teachers cover half the sub's pay with their own. I'm not sure how it works but it makes them extra careful of the days they use and at the same time they aren't penilized as badly for using them.
EAST COAST MEET UP!!! I'm not close to NYC but I've been wanting to take Meghan there so if you guys decide to do this, and if it's a weekend - I'm in! I have two weekends thate wont' work, 3/26 and 4/9 otherwise I'll figure something out :bigsmile:
All of our schools are closed and I'm working from home but so far it's not too bad out. Pretty normal actually and I'm feeling a little guilty for staying home. Meghan pulled on a pair of snow pants and a ski coat and took off for a friend's house.
I made a frittata for lunch (yum) and I'm working hard to only have one piece! I didn't have any onions so I diced up some cabbage and sautéed it and it acts as a great filler for the onion. I'm a little shocked!:noway:
Julie - hope that little girl moves for you! My step daughter had twins and one of them (Alex) managed to wedge his foot between two of her ribs. He would pull it out for awhile and then she could feel him poking around with it looking for that neat "nitch" and POP it would go back in and HURT. You could see his little foot! I think my kid would have had a permanent limp if it tried that.:huh:0 -
lol Blue! I'll have to pass :laugh: I dont need help looking like a marshmallow trying ot avoid that look altogether
Are you saying you do NOT want the late 80s - early 90s look for your wedding???????? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
checking in for the weekend even though I don't want to .... :mad:
It was very busy, we were out of town for part of it at our farmhouse in WI ... and I didn't plan very well. It all started Saturday night with a few cheese curds and a sliver of cheesecake - and then once I had gone into the 'forbidden zone' of foods ... all hell broke loose on Sunday and Monday was even worse. My daughter brought a friend to the farm to celebrate her birthday and they wanted to bake cookies and brownies. I've been able to leave sweets alone since starting my new nutrition plan of low sugar and carbs (a lot like you awestfall!), but I couldn't resist hot cookies right out of the oven ... especially when I hadn't brought enough alternative choices for me so I was hungry. And we ate fast food 2 meals too, bad. bad. bad. I got on the scale this morning and it said I had gained back 4 of my 5 pounds lost ... that was disheartening!!!! But I know some is probably water and hopefully will come off fast. I'm trying very hard to get back on track today, so far so good.
Since I was away from my computer until last night I am starting the challenge today - tracking every day!0 -
Ann is in WV but not far from those places!!Awww thanks Heather....no I did not take measurments but good call I am doinfg it right now!!!!
