weight today is 170.8 and bodyfat is down... So let's go w/today's weight.
That means overnight I lost weight??? OK.....
I didnt do kickboxing last night. Attempted to put a lamp together. Got frustrated. Attempted to try on a dress... it wasn't a short dress but a maternity top. Gave up & went to my room.
Read for a short bit.. closed book at 7:30pm... fell asleep. At 7am I didn't want to get out of bed.
Work this morning was base beautification day. Lucky for me I only had 1 hour of it since I had blood work this morning, I didn't report to work until 9:30am. Now we're waiting for the BBQ lunch.0 -
afternoon all. Mr Scale said 189 today. that's up 6.4 lbs. with my lack of exercise and water and.... not-so-great eating I knew it would be bad. I dunno. seems like for almost 2 years I've been doing this and not really improving, staying the same. frustrated and bummed why I **still** haven't changed my lifestyle. lost weight. I can do good for a while..then bad. It's never balanced. I failed myfitnesspal.0

Scott, Tanner & I went to visit Tyler in his college town today. we saw the house he will be living in his final year at UNI. I was surprised at the condition it was in...not too bad. I offered my cleaning services for free, but he said nah. had to get him a new phone and then we all went out to eat. pizza and bread sticks, real Pepsi. was a nice visit. he will be home 5 days for the 4th, then he has about 2 more weeks working with freshman & transfer-student orientation...then home til mid August.:smooched:
whole chicken thawing while we were gone, so for supper it was grilled chicken, corn, flaky biscuits, and a quick salad of chopped cuke, onion, & pepper with a drizzle of ranch dressing & vinegar. and last, dessert was homemade shortcakes with strawberries and ice cream. This is NOT a normal day for me...but this is how the rest of my family eats, every day. I always struggle when dh home and on vacation. I vow..no more repeats like today...for a loonng time. I gotta.
hope you're all enjoying the weekend. take care ladies.:flowerforyou:0 -
Yesterday I volunteered for the Survival Race 5K at a friend's paintball course. The 5k included water, fire and mud obstacles. I worked registration so I saw how clean the folks were when they started then was able to see how dirty they were at the end.
There was two guys who did the course 3-4x. One guy would shower off then go again. The other guy did 4x didn't clean up between races. Let me state both of these young guys were good looking.
Came home & vegged out after the race. Today I have much on the agenda, we'll see what I accomplish.0 -
did some laundry today, pulled lots of weeds. updated some birdhouses I have hanging from our porch....replaced the craft/mushroom birds, butterflies, dragon flies, then added new moss to the openings. these are just ornamental, however, we've had birds in them a couple times the past 2 years, and in my condo birdhouse we currently have a baby wrens. the parents really chew us out when we walk near it. grilled burgers for supper. eating could have been better today. I have been having some pain in my shoulder, kinda front/top area..quite a while now. like since mid May.... I think it started when I began doing the shred. If I'm just sitting here, it does not bother. It does hurt to massage it and it is directly over one of the surgical sites..the one that was the most tender of the 5. I don't know what to do. I really tried to be careful doing all my exercises that involved my shoulder and some I just didn't do b/c I was worried of an injury or even pain that might occur while performing activities. I didn't want to take any chances. I'd say it bothers me almost every day, but again it is mostly with a particular motion or if I push/massage it. I am still very weak in one movement and even at my last appt with the surgeon, he noticed this but said to keep doing the one exercise. Also, since May, I think a muscle knot formed deep in my shoulder blade, a different area than I had before. Now, today, my shoulder almost seems a little better and the muscle knot is not bothering. I'm hoping it IS from the shred and nothing else and with each day that passes and I don't do the shred, it will continue to improve. I went thru and did every single one of my exercises and most of them were very easy and I can tell I have improved since May...just that one tho. I don't know if I should call my surgeon, my physical therapist or just wait some more. I was really noticing results from doing the shred and am bummed...not so bummed I guess since I have not done any regular exercise for a good 10 days now. I just don't want any set backs as I plan to drive the bus in mid-Aug. It has been 4 mos since surgery and I know they said it could take up to 6 mos for full recovery....anyways....
thinking of you all and ready to have a successful week. take care ladies.

Kelly - sounds like your shoulder is still attempting to recover. Be proud you have made many accomplishments post surgery.
My sunday consisted of computer time, laundry, and hauling out more stuff from garage to the curb for Friday's trash pick-up.
I did drop off some itmes for my kids and was too late to pick up a prescription. Did have ice cream - from a local place - nutella swirl. Yummy...
Then met someone at the local diner later in the evening. So yes, ladies I have been out on my first date post break-up. Date was nice. He asked to see me again. And I will. Used some of the Vegas pics of me for my online dating website profile. THANK YOU. Pics taken on my phone were not able to be uploaded onto the site - only the pics taken w/a camera worked.
Got on scale this am and it wasn't the numbers I wanted to see.
Hoping to be very productive this week at work. Off Friday & Monday. It's 4th of July already????0 -
yesterday we had a kitty show up in our back yard...kept Rosie and Lily entertained all day. I'm guessing it is about 6 wks old, male, white with orange tail, few spots on it's back and near ears (kinda not cute), and very boney, surely hungry, tame and not afraid of our dogs. It slept off and on all day on our deck. I walked the neighborhood asking if anyone had lost a kitty. No. It observed Tanner shooting hoops after supper time...he seemed amused by it too. I couldn't stand it anymore and cooked an egg for it....it scarfed it down....then when I watered my flowers I left a puddle on the sidewalk and it did drink some of it.....then I made a bed for it out of a 12 pack pop box and some rags, and kind of hid it up under the grill/cover. What can I say, I'm a softy for baby animals. So, not surprised, it's still here this am.
gonna wash some windows today...the cotton is done blowing. need to go to the bank, do bills. wish Scott would clean the porch...
beautiful day here. oh my. take care team. thinkin of ya and missin ya. 0 -
Kelly - so you're caring for KNC I'm sure I would do the same.... but I not taking in any more pets.
Did walk yesterday & kickbox class. Overnight lost 2.5lbs. Gotta love how TOM causes gain & loss in 24hr period.
Ok, so the survey period is over in 2 days.... if you haven't responded to the 2012 trip survey, you don't have much time.
Waiting for 1 person to tell me a bit more info. I got your desired time of year & that's all.0 -
Well hello Barb, and everyone else....
KNC wandered over to the neighbors (gal and her dad were outside...this is the place my son just recently had a 'sleepwalking adventure' to) and she asked Scott if we had lost a kitty, and he said no. Wondered if it belonged to anyone and Scott told her I had checked with a few neighbors. She asked if we were keeping it or wanted it. Scott said no, it's yours now! So, KNC ended up next door, but not here! I'm sure he'll be an indoor cat only.
Washed all the house windows, exterior only. Washed my car and then fertilized all my flowers. Today Rosie & Lily are having their thyroid level checked. Rosie is also having pre-surgical blood work done as we plan to have her teeth cleaned tomorrow. Scott keeps telling me she will come home with dentures....
I called the OBGYN that is doing my ultrasound next week. If all goes ok, looks like I will likely have surgery Tues July 19. I wanted to get on the schedule asap so I would have more time to heal/recover and hopefully be ready to start the school year. A little concerned with having another surgery this year, but I have dealt with TOM's crap for over 10 yrs.
Have a good day. Looking forward to seeing the survey results!0 -

good afternoon...took Rosie to the vet this am and bought groceries. been working in my main flower garden...got a real nice bumper crop of weeds!
will get Rosie in a few hours. gonna be very *summery* the next couple days. :glasses: yesterday and today have been better eating days. logging food and trying to stay focused.
Barb ~ you're in the 60's!! nice job! plans for the weekend? have a good one!
a little bummed it's been pretty quiet in here...hope all is ok with everyone. missin the talk and support. take care team.:flowerforyou:0 -
Hi SHGP. My baby has his first ear infection!! Have been busy with a fussy boy. I will check in tomorrow.
0 -
It was a long night last night but hopefully today Zan will start to improve today. I wish the antibiotics would kick in. I miss my baby running around getting into things. Zan spent almost the entire day in my arms. Definitely sick when a 1 year old doesn't want to play. I hope the rest of you have a great day! 0

My weight is 232.4 pounds today. Yeah a loss! I guess my short visits to the gym are working. Now it is time to start extending my time at the gym and work on eating better.0
-
Congrats on the loss Angie! that's great! glad it's going well for ya at the gym! Sorry to hear Zan has an ear infection. Both my boys had them (from 6 mos > to about 8 yrs old) and ended up getting tubes in their ears which helped. Oldest son had to have another surgery b/c when they removed the tube, it did not heal, so they had to *patch* it with his own tissue...kinda like a skin graft. And our oldest has a slight hearing loss. His infections were so bad that his ear drum burst a few times and the drainage was nasty. I know how frustrating it is...they hurt and don't know why. Hard on mommy too. :frown: You'll know when he's feeling better and all will be happy again! Take care
wt was 186.2...down almost 3. I'm not going to 'check in' til I get below a previous low. well, did not reach my goal for July 1st :ohwell: gotta try harder at keeping my head in the game. seriously tho, if I listen to my head, that's when I mess up. :huh: can't really *listen* to my body, but I know I can *feel* it. so, I'm just gonna go with that.
no plans here today or really for the weekend. oldest son will be home from his college job today. I think the guys are planning on attempting to move our Dish (satellite/cable) to a better location. We have huge shade trees on the south side of our house/property and our reception is horrible...branches continue to grow and when they are all leafed out, we lose reception. trees are too valuable to trim or cut down and to have cable company relocate, would be too costly. I don't know...their idea. I'm not in on this decision. :ohwell:
Have a good weekend ladies and a happy and safe 4th of July!0 -
UGH! My son hates his medicine and it is a 2 person battle to get him to take it! I think I end up more spit on me than in his mouth. It is shower time after giving medicine. He needs his medicine 2 times a day. I think he is finally starting to feel better. He had a slight fever last night but so far today he is fever free. Hope it stays that way. Now it is time to see if he will eat breakfast. Have a good day SHGP!! 0

:drinker: HAPPY BIRTHDAY:drinker: to our girl Jacque!! have a great day lady! :flowerforyou:
I guess all the materials needed to do this 'satellite' project are not here...plus Scott said it was too hot to do this. altho, the last 2 days have been better. lower dew points anyway. did laundry, and some light cleaning yesterday.
my niece, 13 (sister's dd) stopped after supper for a visit while her mom was at a party in town. she likes scary movies so we watched Amityville Horror. Looks like I might be going to a movie tonite w/my sis. This is a first for us! There is a theater (25 mi away) that shows movies, all $2. can't beat that!
I have logged my food the last 4 days and even tho I am not exercising (thinking bout it but not doing it :ohwell: ), I feel so much better. dh likes salads, so we have had one every day. I have 2 appts this week and with pms nearing, I really don't want to feel bloated or sluggish. So, gotta keep on track.
Have a good day ladies! Hope you're all enjoying the holiday weekend! :bigsmile:0 -
Happy 4th Of July SHGP!
Zan is feeling better and the battle with the medicine has decrease. We are putting it a bottle of chocolate milk. It takes away but he eventually drinks it all and no one needs a shower!! The key is not letting him see you put the medicine in. We don't have plans today. I am hoping that I can talk my husband in letting in going to see the fireworks tonight but I highly doubt he will want to travel anywhere today due to the volume of people everywhere.
Jacque- I hope you had a great birthday yesterday!0 -
Happy 4th Of July SHGP!
Ditto! :bigsmile:
Very tired this am...sleep has been bad the last 2 nites. saw 'Bridesmaids' with my sister...very funny! go see if you get the chance ladies! will be leaving shortly to go to a parade and possibly fireworks later. Enjoy the day gang!0 -
Hi --
May have told you ladies I registered for an online dating website. Met guy who is totally crazy for me (crazy in a good way not a stalker pyscho way) and I am totally crazy for him. So yes, we like each other a lot.
At our first date on Friday, he shows up at the resturant w/a dozen pink roses for me. He didn't know pink roses were my favorite.
We went out again on Saturday night.... and I'll be seeing him today.
What can I say....
I'm also losing weight....

well, yesterday it was mostly chips, coleslaw, brownies and candy :ohwell: slept pretty good and feeling better today, still tired tho. been having problems with the internet...losing connection. called about it and they suggested a few things. wasn't the modem, but the router. so oldest son and I went to town and bought a new one. running smoothly now making a home made pizza for the guys and I'll probably have a salad and chicken. short week for us ladies. I have ultrasound Thursday and bus physical Fri. Sunday I have a bridal shower to attend. hoping TOM will be late....
Barb....so happy for you! 0 -
Barb- How exciting for you! Congrats on losing weight. I hope things continue to go well with your new friend.
Kelly- I hope things go good with your appointments this week.
Sindy, Jacque and Miss Vita- missing you! I hope things are going well with you guys.
We ended up at Dan's friends house yesterday for a cook out. We had a good time. Zan was wore out! We did get to see firework that were put on by the neighbors and Dan and his friend did a few of their own. Didn't do that bad in eating this weekend but didn't log anything. I really need to start to logging my food. I am going to have to figure out how to get me motivated to log my food. Zan is awake now time to go. Have a great night! 0 -
Hi all... In attempt to use up the milk prior to expiration date, I made a pudding thing. It was tasty so the one serving turned into more than one. sigh.
At kickboxing my body was saying... you should not have eaten that.....0 -
Going to try Zan at the gym's kids club. It has been a week since he was there. I hope things ago smooth. Check back later. Hope everyone is having a good day! 0

FYI - that's a friend's grandbaby in my profile pic -- not mine.
Isn't the grandbaby a cutie... look how she's holding my chin.....0 -
struggling with eating today....cals not too bad, but quality is poor. craving salt and sugar.
sweet baby Barb! she looks very happy.
Angie...glad all went well for Zan!! and you too!0 -
I had internet issues yesterday. Husband got it fixed late last night. Thank God. I can't believe how much I use the internet. Hope you all have a great day. 0
-
Yup, when the internet is down, we can't function... especially at work.
Weighed today and it's 170.6
Up... but... I think the loss was due being nervous of first date w/new man.
Yesterday I was soo tired that once home from work, I went straight to bed. After a few hours in bed, I woke up around 9pm and began to get uniform ready for work, laundry, etc.
have a good day ladies.

internet issues = bummer. last year when our service changed company's we went thru 'internet outages'. I was patient as I could be, but our college aged sons were irate since they do a lot of their homework on the web. we just went thru a good week of losing connection. it was our router. have a new one and all better.
well today marked a year of logging on to MFP. can't say as I have much to show for myself, like a transformed body or even wt loss. In that year my high was around 200 and my low near 177. what, my last weigh in was 186?? when I joined in Jan of '09 I was 210....so really not much improvement. I've said this before, I use MFP for mostly socialism, support, motivation, information. No, I did not log my food or my exercises every day for the last year. And for the most part I set my 'goals' to my preference. I was not completely on the wagon the entire year either. Don't care attitude, depression, anxiety, un-changable..... it was all in there too. Haven't found balance, that's for sure. My oldest son told me yesterday that I need to run for a 1/2 hr (3 miles) 5 days/wk and do 10 minute warm up walk and 10 minute cool down walk. He told me I could eat anything I wanted to and never have to count calories or weigh my food again. I felt defeated. I guess he isn't aware of my 'workout stretch' (when I **was** walking 2-4 miles, doing the shred, walk/jogs on the treadmill, cardio and resistance dvd's) My original goal was to get to 160. Now it's at 146. Charts say I'm obese, I don't feel that way. All of this makes me wonder what to do next. I know I will not have a repeat '365' days logged. I may take a break for a while and just do the best I can, on my own.
Had my SIS trans-v ultrasound today. not as uncomfortable as it was 7 yrs ago. took measurements external and internal (funny, sounds like I'm talking about a house). same as last time, uterine lining is thick (I'm also nearing tom), she took a biopsy and did a pap as well. so, once all that is back and ok, I will go ahead with a laparscopic partial hysterectomy, (will be removing my oven only) tentatively scheduled for July 19. I want to get this done ASAP...so I am hopefully good to go when school starts. If all this works out ladies, I am on the verge of having my very last TOM! thank the Lord...Hallelujah!
Have a good evening everyone. take care.0
