Over 200 New Year New Me Part 46

elmox

Hey all!! FOCUS UP MY FRIENDS! MONDAYS MAY SUCK BUT THEY ARE THE START OF A NEW WEEK. NEW YEAR NEW YOU - NEW WEEK NEW YOU!

I'm not as good of a butt-kicker as Julie, but we need some LIFE on these boards! Come on back sisters!!!

Checking in for the weekend (however, the trend is OVER!):

Friday
Cals - Over 2600....too much wine = snacking = lots of calories!
Water - Not enough given the wine!
Exercise - Walked about a mile and a half
Proud - Eh...

Saturday
Cals - Over by 228! AMAZING!!!!
Water - 88 oz
Exercise - 90 min of hot yoga
Proud - I was not thrilled about going to hot yoga (thought there was a good chance my sweat would be red given the wine from Friday!), but I went and had a great class.

Sunday
Cals - OVER by 521
Water - 40 oz - not nearly enough
Exercise - Jonathan and I walked a bunch, probably about 2.5 miles
Proud - Had a really wonderful day with my husband.

Lauren: I agree with you!! Thanks for the reminder

Jess: Dea sea fishing...wouldn't that be more like deep lake fishing? I'm guessing they'd be fishing in the Great Lakes, correct?

Teresa: Best of luck to you on the second interview. You'll be awesome.

Deb: Don't worry so much about the eating and weighing right now. Focus on getting through the stress of the house and moving and then re-focus. Doing too much at once will only overwhelm you. Breathe!

This weekend, I went over on calories/points, but I consider it a major victory that I cooked all meals at home except for the Chinese food my sister picked up on the way home on Friday night. I haven't gotten on the scale yet to know the damage from the weekend, but I try to only weigh on Tuesdays and Fridays, so we'll know tomorrow.

Good Monday Morning Ladies, finally the rain has passed in these parts. I have never had it rain so many days in a row at this time of year. Back to spring finally and I am happy.....................Ryan had 2 aides come in today. So I am thinking the school district is having a hard time. Could not get anyone last week but accidently send 2 today... C'mon people lets get it right. Have a great day..I am volunteering in class today. I love doing centers. Last week I got the paint table.. FUN!!!!

Hey how is everyone doing?!!

Glad to be back home! Went back to class today, good to get back onto a schedule..it is much easier for me to watch what I am eating and get out of the vacation mentality. We went grocery shopping last night, so got all of my healthy snacks and goodies around the house and hopefully looking forward to another good weigh in.

What have you guys been up to?

Teresa.........0...........0%
Julie............+0.4......PREGO
Laila...........-1.0..........0.49%
Lauren.......-1.5........0% (I already lost this, so it doesn't feel right to reclaim)
Heather.....-0.8........0.44%
Allison......-0.3.........0.14%

That's my Friday weight. I've been down for the count on and off all week, so was barely on my laptop (the brightness/text made my headaches worse). I was barely able to get through logging, but am glad I did, AND, I'm down more this morning. So a loss is a loss, even a small one like .3 pounds, and I'll take it.

Dear TOM,

I hate you. You make my body hurt and zap all motivation to do anything. Please go away.

xoxo,
Lauren

Hang in there Lildebbie! I can completely relate to your stress - I hate having to deal with financial stuff like that, when most of it is out of your hands too! I hope it will all come together and turn out fine, good luck!

My daughter who has been in Germany is on her way home ... arrives at 8:40 tonight. I am looking forward to it, and also not excited about how crabby she will likely be for the rest of the week when she has to jump back into school and work.

We have had roofers and siders at our house every day since last Thursday (new roof and siding from hail damage last September), it will look nice when it is done but I really can't wait until they are gone. It is very stressfull being in the house with 6-20 workers banging on every wall. I've had the shades drawn and had to use the upstairs bathroom (downstairs bathroom has no curtain since there is just a high window - but the people working on the roof can easily see in!), and we tiptoe in and out of the house around their ladders and stuff. It is weird. Plus there are still some portions that our contractor has to get our insurance to pay for - so that makes me a bit nervous.

Why does anything out of the ordinary make me want to eat! :grumble:

I know how you feel - disruptions to my routine throw me off emotionally, triggering that urge to eat and/or binge. Having contractors around must be the pits - are they almost done?

I have this huge knot in my stomach and can't stop crying. We are now almost 48 hrs away from closing and every hr that goes by makes me think the less and less chance we have to close on Thursday.

You'd be amazed what a lender can pull together at the last minute, LilDeb.

A few months ago one of my employees on extended medical leave called me bawling her eyes out at about 4.45pm because she was supposed to close on her house the next morning & her lender had just called saying they wouldn't approve the mortgage unless she was actively working. So, in 15 minutes, I convinced her doctor to release her to return to work as of the next day, fax me something saying as much, contacted her lender, faxed the medical paperwork to them & reassured them she'd be returning to work the next day. She closed on her house the next day. Then she came into work the day after that, decided she wasn't physically able to return, and had her doctor write her out for another 2 weeks. :laugh: Yeesh, but if I were her, I wouldn't have wanted to do business with a lending company that was going to try to pull something like that like that less than 20 hours before closing. Unbelievable!

So it looks like I am gaining now that I am home again ughh...really got to get on the program here!!! Other than that I feel great, I have been sleeping well which has been a huge issue for me for the past 3 months, I am not on a set sleeping schedule which seems to be working and helping me gain more energy through out the day which I am really thankful for, it is a huge difference.
