Hello everyone ...sorry i have been mia this week ...it has been crazy.

Girls have only gone to school on monday , with all the ice and cold. Tues i worked 1/2 day and DH was home , wed i worked 6+hrs (my boss said if i worked 6 hrs i wouldn't have to take time off, yesterday dh was home again and i was able to get a full day and then today who knows, i am hoping that the day care will be open . They are getting bored couped up and they are driving me freaking insane!!

Food wise has not been pretty, i think this coopped up in the house thing just making me eat crappy, we had pizza last night, dh and the girls make cookies and cupcakes yesterday so of course i have been snacking on those...so no way i am even getting on the scale.

Last night we got probably 5 inches of snow...Called day care this morning and they said at that time (6:30) that they are planning to open at 8:30, will have an update at 8, so hoping they will and i am going to make the treck to day care .

It's not so much that I forget to weigh in. It's that I forget what day it is every single day. :embarassed:
So I'm your cheerleader again this week! :drinker: :drinker:

Check in for yesterday:
Calories: 1600 (ate some of my exercise)
Water: So much I practically lived in the bathroom
Exercise: 1 hour with PT
Proud: I was able to do more than one the darn "ball passes" at my work out! (Lay on back with ball between feet, stomach crunch and switch ball to hands, back down, continue including going side to side.)

Weigh In: 194.6 (I weighed on Tuesday)


LaDeb......-0.8......??? can't remember the calcuation???:blushing:

lstpaul

I've only got a minute but was so excited to have another loss that I had to get it recorded .... :happy:

LaDeb......-0.8......??? can't remember the calcuation??

Today's a weird day for me. I'm working 3 p.m. - 12:30 a.m. So we'll see what that does for my eating. I'm going to try and get to the gym since I've got time. However, my legs are still pretty sore from yesterday.

I'll weigh in later - I'm happy under my blanked on the couch!!

Yesterday:
Cals - OVER, even with exercise. 2084, goal was 1719. There was so much delicious cheese last night...such a weakness for it!
Water - 96 oz
Exercise - 55 min of cardio (arc trainer and elliptical) = 520 cals burned
Proud - Good day at the gym!

LaDeb......-0.8......??? can't remember the calcuation??
lstpaul .... -1.8 .... -0.73
Heather....-2.0....-1.06%
Laila..........-1.0......-0.48%

I am a little frustrated with my one pound loss. I worked out so hard and my body is sore and tired from what it was put through (LCW and walking/running). a little set back but I am hoping to see 205 by next week.

Ladeb this is the website that I use to calcalate my percentage.

Good luck to all and Congrats to all the loser (and non-loser) for weigh in!!!

bbl. 2 of my 3 children are home...

EDIT: added Heather, we posted @ the same time.

HeatherMN

Laila: Thanks for adding me in!

Nancy: Great job on the 10" step. I'm so very proud of you and how far you've come just since I joined this thread.

Jess: Welcome home! Sorry you had to come back to freezing weather and snow! Can't wait to hear about your trip.

Checking in for yesterday:
Points: Over daily, but still okay on weekly. Need to behave this weekend (with the Super Bowl...ahhh!)
Exercise: Slim in 6 Start It Up and Slim & Limber. Total of 39 minutes.
Water: 58.7 oz.
Proud: Exercised even though it would have been easier to stay in my chair reading magazines.

I don;t know what's going on with me but it's part mental, part physical. I didn't stick to my calories this week but I also, on average, ate below maintenance so the +2lbs seems unfair.......I did eat more breads and pastas than a normal week so I'm going to cut back on that but I am also having trouble feeling motivated..........

Any suggestions for giving myself a kick in the butt?? I really want to get back to losing and get the last 37lbs or so off by Summer.

tlrue

This HAS to be a mistake.... I used my parents' scale, so we'll see how true it is when I get back home. I was expecting a loss, but not that significant. I'll readjust when I get back to Chicago (I really just wanted to be able to see my ticker move a little...)

i am taking off 1/2 day this afternoon...kids are soo bored...how come they have tons of toys but still they are bored.

i feel soo bad for my sister.

She is 45 almost 46 and found out she is going through menupause. She wants a baby , and is soo upset. The doctor gave her a couple of fertility doctors, they said the could use a donor egg and her bf sperm and do an invitro. She said she doesn't understand how all these movie stars have babies in their late 40's. I am sure lots of them use donors or i guess people go into menepause at different ages. I feel bad for her. My mom wants me to call her but i am not sure what to tell her.

cris20056

Deb- Sorry about your sister...my family all have ahad early menopause and I think my mom was like late 30's?? So was my grandmother...I hope god blesses your sister with a child soon!

LADeb- Great job on the ballpass that sounds hard!

Jess- SISTER I MISSED YOU! A LOT! You look hot in your new pic!!!

Meook- I will gladly give you a swift kick in *kitten* when I come visit :flowerforyou:

Deb- Sorry about your sister...my family all have ahad early menopause and I think my mom was like late 30's?? So was my grandmother...I hope god blesses your sister with a child soon!

Thanks Cris - my other sister is trying to have a baby too, they have been trying since may., she is 43, i had issues getting pregant but not due to menupause that has to be another daunting thing to be having to deal with.

If they both get pregant i know i will want another one soo bad...my tubes are tied and i know 2 kids are really all i need , i am just having issues letting go that abby isn't a baby any more. I know moving to this new stage in my life with young children and not babies will be a whole new set of adventures, still makes me sad no more babies for me:sad: I am praying i will have some new niefces and nephews in 2012.

I cant wait for my ticker to say 4_lbs to go....so sick of seeing 50+ lbs to go! :explode: :grumble:

WHO IS EXCITED FOR THE SUPER BOWL?!!! MEMEMEMEMEME!!!

I have it all planned out...Im going to allow myself a cheesesteak IF and only IF I go burn it off at the gym first. I also plan on allowing myself diet coke during the game.... figure since I wont be drinking beer (god help me!) that I could at least treat myself with diet soda since I am almost 100% only drinking water.

My mom wants me to call her but i am not sure what to tell her.

We had already decided we'd try to adopt a baby girl from China if we weren't able to have children of our own naturally. No way were we going down the fertility treatment route. I want 2-3 kids at most, and certainly not a litter of them all at once. :laugh: But seriously, so many babies need good families. I'm actually still considering adoption as a 1st option for future children.

This is so not what she would want to hear, but if you have a baby with your own eggs in your mid 40s, you have a scary high chance of the baby having chromosomal abnormalities. Our eggs just aren't meant to maintain their integrity that long. Not to mention the risk of miscarriage increases drastically with age, as does the risk of pregnancy complications. (wow, negative Nancy here)

It really sucks, but the reality is that I'm 26 and I'm already past my prime child-bearing years (biologically speaking). :noway:

So, having said all that I obviously think adoption or an egg donor are great choices for her but I can see how difficult it would be to discuss it with her. Hopefully she finds an option that makes her happy.

Thanks Julie - My mom is trying to lean her to the way of adoption. SHe is soo into the dog shelter (i know not the same ) but she knows there are soo many unwanted dogs, the same thing goes for kids there are soo many unwanted kids. I really hope she adopts. I had hard enough time getting pregant with abby at 30 and that ended up doing fertility treatment .

Even with an egg donor she runs the risk of lots of compilcations.

I am really hoping she finds a perfect baby for her...My other sister i am not sure if they would adopt or not, i bet if they try for much longer they might, but still even though she is not in menupause she is in a age that is much riskier.

My mom is real concerned with both of them, her friend daughter just had a baby (and she was only 35) and the baby had down syndrome...she is really concerend about that with them trying to have babies in their 40's.

I'm worried. :frown:
Last night I had a terrible dream my grandmother died and I was soooo upset (well, naturally) because since life has been crazy busy, I haven't made time to travel to see her since July. I looooovvveeee my grandmother. She kept me while my mom worked when I was little and was always the one who picked me up from school until I was in 7th grade & my brother could drive & pick me up. Even then she picked me up 1 day a week because I'm her favorite person ever (or so I've been told by everyone, including her :laugh:).

Anyway, so I emailed my aunt first thing this morning (my grandmother lives with her now) to catch up & see when I may be able to visit in the next couple of weeks and she told me my gramma's really sick. :sad: She has the really terrible lasts-for-days stomach bug. She's almost 87 with major heart problems (we've almost lost her a few times over the last 10 years but she's one hell of a fiesty fighter, love her) so something as seemingly minor as a stomach virus could really be bad for her. She's stubborn & refuses to go to the doctor to make sure she's staying hydrated. :ohwell:
I know I'm not psychic or anything () but still, it worries me. :frown:

Me! Apparently we're having a party. :huh: Hubby invited several people over (which is really random considering I'm waaayyyy more of a football fan than he is). Mmmmmmm, cheesesteak & beer. Yeah, I won't be having either. Fruit, veggies & diet caffeine-free soda for me. Maybe a little caffeine if I want to get really wild. I'll probably need it to stay up that late. :indifferent: Party! :laugh:

i am sorry your grandmother is sick. I Hope she gets better soon.

Deb: Sorry your sisters are having problems preventing them from getting pregnant. I know menopause happens pretty early in my family, too. My mom started going through menopause about 10 years ago (she was 40!) That's why I've known for a long time I need to decide whether I want kids or not at an early age. I'm pretty sure I won't have kids, but adoption sounds like such a fabulous thing. My mom dated a guy who had a daughter adopted from China and he loved her like his very own from the minute he first saw her.

Julie: I hope your grandma gets better. If you can travel to see her, I would highly recommend doing so if you're worried. It may calm your fears. It's a good thing you're not psychic! Plus, I'm sure she'd love to see the baby bump!

Cris: I'm going to a Super Bowl party, but I don't really care for either team (sorry, sorry!). I don't really care who wins, though being a Minnesotan it would be best if I hope for the Packers to lose. Keeping the eating in check will be the hardest part. I had originally planned on saving up my weekly points for Sunday but that so didn't happen. I'll just have to get lots of activity points in to make up for it!

I'm sorry your grandma is sick. I hope you are able to see her soon, maybe you want to send her some flowers or a card to cheer her up if she has been sick? I hope she will be fine, but I know when my Aunt died my biggest regrets were that I hadn't made time to visit her as much as I should have, and I was going to send her flowers for her birthday but didn't because I was afraid my mom would be jealous. dumb, I should have just done it ... I think I had some ESP because none of us were expecting her to have a stroke a few weeks after her birthday and I had never sent her flowers before - but I just knew that I should do it ... and I wish I had.

checking in for yesterday:
calories: good, good
exercise: GREAT! I went to the Y after work (which is tough for me) and did an hour of step and 1/2 hour of pump
water: good
proud: I'm in a good groove right now and I'm finding it pretty easy to follow the nutrition guidelines of my new class. I have a challenge again tonight since we are going out to dinner for my brother's birthday - but I know I can do it!

meokk

Welcome back Jess - we missed you !!!!!

Julie - sorry about your grandma, hope you get to visit soon but she sounds tough and I expect she'll be right as rain.

Cris - I don't have a clue about American football, it's all very confusing to me but I hope your team wins !!

Deb - I second Julie's thoughts on the pregancy/adoption topic and I can understand that it must be very emotionally difficult for your older sister to come to terms with not being able to have a biological child. I would love to adopt and have some bio kids myself. US adoption is significantly less expensive than overseas adoption though.

Blue - WTG at the trainer !!!
