Proud - Yesterday was the day I spoke in church and I think it went really well. I'm going to try and post it as a blog later tonight then I'll link to it if you want to read it.
Today my schedule is packed at work, so I'm off...0 -
Good Morning Girls,, We went to Disneyland last week and got home on Thurs. The hubby and children have all been home so I was still in vacation mode. When I left our part of CA for southern Ca we were foggy and ugly. I think we brought back the beautiful weather from the south. It has been sunny and in the 70's (sorry to all the freezing people) IT has just been too beautiful to come get on a computer. But I am back and even though I had a wonderful time in Disney (we were there for 6 days) and I loved leaving with a messy room and coming home to a clean one, that is all over for me and it is back to cooking and cleaning every day. Boooooo! I think I may have gained some weight on vacation even though we walked ALL day long for hours on end. But I really think it is more bloating than anything. Eating out everyday 3 times a day for 6 days cannot help anything.
Sorry about your team Cris
:flowerforyou:
Yay, Jess and Lstpaul on your team:flowerforyou:
As for me I am a CA girl and I grew up with a die hard Raiders fan, my bro is a die hard Raiders fan and I married a 49er fan so I switched sides. I basically crossed the bridge since that is all that separates Oakland from San FRan. and we all know they both have been pretty lousy for a few years. Every Sunday during football season there is a lot of cussing going on in my home. I personally do not cuss and my hubby very seldom cusses except for during football season when the 49ers are playing. (There is some cussing during hockey though)
I hope all is well with everyone. I scanned the posts for the last week and I am thinking of everyone. Deb, I hope all works out for your sister.0 -
Good to see you Momma! Glad you enjoyed vacation. I need a vacation from the cold and snow here! I think it's supposed to get down to -9 tonight! ick!0
-
lstpaul: Yep, it will be cold overnight but 40 degrees this coming Saturday will feel absolutely tropical!! I'm so looking forward to the warm weather for my 5k!
Theresa: It looks like you need to give us a challenge for the week. I believe you were the Biggest Loser.
Jess: Thanks for being so happy for the
! As for your bug bites, I know my friend had a similar thing from Florida. They call them "No See 'Ems" because you never see what bit you, but they itch and are red like mosquito bites. I believe they are in the same family as chiggers. Don't scratch because it will leave tiny scars. Use some calamine lotion if they're itchy.
Cris: Wowsa on the 4321 calories burned. You are a machine! Here's to hoping you see a BIG loss on the scale this week!
Lauren: I would love to read your speech from church! Let me know when you have it posted.
Momma: So happy to hear you had a nice vacation in Disneyland. I'm jealous about your weather (but only a tiny bit).
Yesterday wasn't terrible for the eating because it was SO much worse in previous years. I didn't even attempt to log everything I ate because I wasn't really keeping track. I did work out for over 2 hours on Saturday to give myself some cushion on what I could eat and I started the day with a big breakfast in the morning and two plates of fruit prior to snacking at the Super Bowl party. I also worked really hard on listening on my body in regards when to take breaks in the eating. As long as I stay on track today, I should be okay. I hope the scale doesn't punish me tomorrow!
Checking in for yesterday:
Points: over
Water: Under...too much soda!
Exercise: None (well, bed pilates)
Proud: I haven't stepped on the scale since Tuesday!0 -

YES! That is exactly what they look like and they itch like CRAZY!! I can tell 1 or 2 of them already are going to leave scars from me scratching. UGH! Oh well. But I have been carrying some liquid benedryl to put on them and some anti itch cream stuff.0 -
Oh wow... me? Let's see... I'll use the challenge I set for myself this week:
Part 1: Do something nice for yourself everyday (even if it's just having a cup of tea, or painting your nails)
Part 2: Burn a total of 2000 calories for the week at MINIMUM
The scale here was not as nice to me as the one at my parents' house... but if I really work at it, I should be right on track by Friday

bump to find later. I am very busy today. Hopefluly I will be full force, on the posting, tomorrow.
Have a very merry Monday!0 -
Thanks, Teresa! I love the challenge. Reading and journaling are my sanity savers, so I'll try to focus on that.
Of course, the calorie burn requirement will be a piece of cake for Cris!
Okay, you tech-savvy people, I need some advice. I'm thinking about getting a new laptop, which would mostly be used for internet stuff, word and excel documents and iTunes. I'm trying to decide if I would like the iPad or not, especially for typing. I've never had an apple computer, so I don't have any clue whether I'd like it. Any thoughts or advice on this would be appreciated!0 -
I'm struggling a bit today - super hungry ... must be all the snacking I did over the weekend. I will have to be careful tonight - I'm making tacos - but just one for me.0

Check in last 2 days:
Cals - good
Water - good

Back in a week.0 -
Quiet in here so far today!
I don't really have much to add... to sound overly dramatic, I feel like I'm waiting for the tension bubble to either deflate or just burst. It's exhausting.
On a lighter note... I enjoy seeing the 21# on the scale everyday instead of hoping it will be there. On to the 20#s!0 -
I was up 2lbs this morning....no clue why ...only thing I can think of is sodium (but I didnt have that much) or that my muscles are retainign water from all the excercise...either way im pissed off and pouting I liked seeing the 206. :explode:0

**WAVES*** Have fun! Ill miss you!0 -
tstout - Hang in there! You've had a lot going on, things will get less stressful soon. Good for you on the 21# - I can't WAIT to get there!
meok: have a good trip! I'd love to get away from the cold and slush too!
checking in for yesterday:
calories: ok - but ate every last exercise calorie plus 19 - and too many carbs at a couple of meals
exercise: good - an hour of step
water: could have been better
proud: I forgot a protein for my afternoon snack and I was STARVING when I got home - that has always been a bad time for me and I have been doing ok since eating more snacks with protein. But instead of getting out of control like I used to do, I had a planned - balanced snack.0 -
Meokk: Safe travels!
Cris: I'm with you. I'm up almost 3 lbs. this morning and I was SO sure I would see a loss on the scale today. I hate that it determines what kind of mood I'm in for the day. I'm a bit crabby, disappointed and sad all because of some stupid number on a scale. :explode:0 -

It's hard to not let the scale get you down. Your both doing so well. Crossing my fingers it goes back to for you both tomorrow. As for me. I don't even want to get on a scale. Keeps going in the wrong direction. Gotta love vacation! I want to be in different shapes by summertime!!
tstout-Hang in there girl. I hope things get better for you soon!0 -
Checking in from yesterday - geesh, you know you're busy at work when you're looking at spreadsheets at the laundry mat.
Cals - Under - hardly had time to eat! I made chocolate milk to get more cals in before bed! 1187
Water - Under. Which is odd since I was at work. 40 oz Boo to me.
Exercise - None.
Proud/Something nice for me - Jonathan and I did a TON of laundry last night and I put up all of my clothes. This is nice for me as I will now be much happier that they aren't everywhere. Granted, his clothes are still in the baskets, but that's on him.
It's another busy day. I will try and post my talk. When I do, there will be a link!0 -
Morning!
Meokk: have a safe trip!
Healther and Cris: I know the pounds gain is muscle retaining...stay focused and on track!
Remember Cris your dress fitting so don't let this slight gain derail you from this months goal. move pass it and stay on track. You got this girl!!!
Jess: Welcome back! we missed you around. I hope you had a fantastic time..which I'm sure you did :-)
Toust: Hang in girly..Hopefully the situation defuses soon.
I am so sore from Last Chance workout and my interval training, last night. BUt I still got up this morning and did Last chance workout again, even though I didn't want too. But once I started the workout I was all in it because she (Jillian) moves so quick wiht eeach circuit, which I love. I am planning on doing another workout when I take my son to preschool.
Have a great day Ladies! bbl0 -

Yeah, I do believe that would be sodium from cheesesteak biting you in the *kitten* for now. Fret not, it'll be gone in a couple days. I'm currently being bitten in the *kitten* by frozen pizza sodium. :laugh: 0 -

Its not helping that I am not drinking enough water to flush it out...my throat is so sore its hard to even swallow let alone drink or eat :grumble:0 -
Warning -- baby stuff. In no way fitness related.
Yay! I've finally made a baby-related decisions (it's been rough -- I'm terrible at deciding & committing)! The biggest one is which travel system to buy. Well, technically, I haven't decided exactly which one, but I have it narrowed to 3 and I'l buy whichever is cheapest & most convenient to actually get (my fav isn't available in store or online right now, my 2nd fav may not be available in store & I'm NOT paying $50 for shipping, and my 3rd fav is just sitting in the store waiting for me to not be able to get either of the first 2). Anyway, I had no idea they made jogging stroller travel systems but THEY DO! I tried my 3rd fav at a store last night and I'm so excited about it. Now I can walk/jog for exercise with her before she's 6 months old because the carseat fits into the jogger. Yay, exercise! Kind of crazy how EXERCISE was honestly my #1 deciding factor for something for baby, huh? Lifestyle change, indeed.
I also bought my first 5 cloth diapers today. AND I think I've finally made a decision on crib bedding. Whew.0 -
Julie-That's great that fitness was one of your priorities in picking out a stroller. Lifestyle change indeed!
Cris-Eye on the prize! I know you can do it! Definitely from the cheesesteak! Hope you get to feeling better soon!!
POS Me-I did have a great trip. It was much needed. Having a hard time getting back in the swing of things. Always happens after a vacation doesn't it? Must do this!!0 -
Oooo Julie what bedding are you going with?! I love my travel system but hoenstly its only good for like long trip at the mall or amusement park (long days) type of situation. I suggest you register or buy a smaller stroller for quick trips...trust me you will use it a lot more than the big stroller. I registered for 2 strollers and got both so yay! doesnt hurt to add it to the list!!!
Jess- u lok so pretty in ur pic I love it!
MY THROAT HURTS SO BAD!! WAAAAAA I really dont know if Im actually sick (I feel ok otherwise) or if I blew out a vocal chord screaming during the super bowl....its hurt pretty bad since that night0 -
Julie: Yay for fitness being the deciding factor on the stroller. That's so awesome!
Cris: Hope your throat gets better soon!
Laila: You're doing awesome on the exercising!!0 -
Yup, Cris, already got an umbrella stroller on the registry (or at least on the registry we made last night at Babies R Us to get a free $10 gift card). :laugh: I decided on the jogging stroller system because I honestly couldn't think of a single scenario where I wouldn't prefer having a jogger over a traditional stroller. The main times I'd be using the stroller would be on walks/jogs and trips to the zoo (& the like). The jogger would be way better for those kinds of outings (it's not a huge jogging stroller -- doesn't really take up any more space than a traditional stroller & only weighs 5-10 pounds more). The cons I can think of for the jogger (weight & size when folded) aren't issues for me since I'm SUPER strong (yeah right) and drive a Honda Element. I'll have a baby sling/carrier & the carseat for trips to the store & stuff like that.
After about 2 weeks of agony over the crib bedding decision (I wish I was joking lol), I've decided on the bedding I decided on first. :laugh: Decision MADE. I'm not waffling on it anymore. The problem was I found out it wasn't the same color as it looked on the first website I found it (amazon). I loved the color it appeared on Amazon & knew immediately I wanted it. But when I found out it was a duller color, I got disappointed & started looking for something else. I settled on 3 other sets over the last week before deciding I won't be happy unless I go with the 1st one. I love that she could have a midnight poop explosion & because of the color of the comforter, it probably won't even stain. :laugh: My main concern was that I won't be able to find a suitable wall color but the more girly stuff I look at, the more girly I'm feeling so I think I'm going with a blue/purple wall color and the bedding works fine with that color. Originally I was thinking more turquoise walls and the bedding would look terrible with that.
Anyway, here it is:
http://www.babysupermall.com/main/products/car/carc201bed4.html
I'm going to get the matching mobile for sure but I don't know how many of the other accessories I'll go for. Definitely not all of them, but I'm glad to have all the options. That was one of the downfalls of my 2nd bedding choice (which was my first bedding choice a couple of days ago :laugh:).
The more decisions I make, the more real it feels, and the more scared I get.
Edit: Oh, that was a lot of baby rambling. Sorry.0 -
Hahaha you are so cute! Having a baby was a lot more fun than planning a wedding Ill tell you that! I cant believe Bobby and I will be trying again in like 8 months! ahhhh im not readyy.....but we never are!!!
I love the bedding very very very cute! LMAO at the midnight explosions....
Brayden has never pooped so bad that it exploded but one time I was chagning him (he was still tiny like 2-3 months) and bobby had all his freinds over like 6 feet away from me and i was like ladilala almost done changing him and all of a sudden all this poop starts flying out at me,.,...I was like WTF! I swear it was projectile! I jsut started screaming for bobby and got poop all over me and bobby saw the poop and was disugsted so him and his friends just stood there and laughed at me as brayden contineud to poop everywhere. Oh and last week he took his diapers off and ran to poop in our shower then proceeded to tell me he had a "big green" yea big green poop in our shower! ....after that first traumatizing experience you kind of become numb to it...Ive been puked, on pooped on, snoted on...nothing surprises me anymore0
