Trying to pump myself up to hit the treadmill when Redmond goes down for his nap. I'm SO exhausted! I never would have imagined that staying home with a 4 month old would be SO draining! So, I'm thinking about taking a day off.....we'll see. Maybe just a walk on the treadmill tonight.
I'm also getting a little frustrated - the scale has not gone down an ounce from Monday. AHHHHHH!!!!!!0 -

Sara, I think it's because you are exhausted...nap when he naps...you can't get anything done when your that tired...maybe, after a good nap, you'll have energy for a light cardio later
.I've not lost anything either and need to get back on track with diet...I was eating everything in sight yesterday.0 -
Slimsters,
Faith eliminated herself from the comp....

You two are working so hard! Don't get discouraged. It has only been a few days since our last weigh in. I am fighting the urge to check my weight every day, because I know after last week it probably won't have changed much.
I am going to observe at Loyola Hospital in Chicago all day tomorrow so I am kind of nervous because I don't have any control over breakfast, lunch ,or dinner. We are getting food served to us, and we aren't able to leave during breaks so I can't even go buy anything. Hopefully it isn't donuts for breakfast and a bunch of junk for lunch. I really like to be able to know and plan what I am going to eat and when. I guess one day of not being in control won't hurt me too much. I just need to stay in control and not eat every single morsel that they put in front of me.
Sara, I agreed that you should take a rest day and take a nap! Otherwise you are just going to get more and more tired and exercise is going to feel more like a chore than something you want to do. Plus, you've been killing it all week! You deserve a day to relax.
Kim, how is the new elliptical?!
and I'm sad to hear about Faith. It would have been fun to try to get our whole team to the very end. I hope no one else drops out. Does that mean there won't be an elimination this week?0 -
Yes, I am using what I originally posted. Anyone who does not weigh in on Monday is eliminated and everyone else is safe. Challenges still apply.
So, I was kind of bad on Tuesday and Wednesday...It was my weekend and I had some beers...working that double on Monday nearly killed me...takes a while to recover.
Anyway, back on track with exercising and such. The new elliptical is way cool. I work this weekend so I will be good with diet, exercise and alcohol. The weather has been so beautiful as well.
Ok, plan is for 3 hours of exercise between now and Sunday mixed with cardio and kettlebells for maximum burn...stay within calories *fingers crossed*. I can't do something stupid like order pizza at work.
we should call them the "slacksters"0 -
I did take a rest day yesterday.....tried to take a nap, but I just laid there for a 1/2 hour thinking "as soon as I fall asleep, Redmond will wake up", so I just got up. He slept an additional hour after I got up :ohwell:
Back at it today though, did C25k Week1 and the 30 Day Shred. If Jason works out on the elliptical tonight, I'll join in on the treadmill. We're having our first "date night" since Redmond was born (4 1/2 months!) tomorrow so I'm hoping to add an additional workout in tomorrow. And, it's supposed to be almost 70 degrees and sunny tomorrow! I think we'll definitely go for a walk at the park. Can't wait!
Wondering if I haven't seen a drop on the scale because I started doing the 30DS; this is the first weight training I've done since I started working out again. I know I'm working hard and eating right, so it's not getting me down, just frustrating. But, it'll happen.
Have a great weekend Slimsters! Think S-L-I-M!!!! :flowerforyou:0 -
Sara, I bet your night will be wonderful...and, you and hubs will probably only talk about Redmond!!!
My weight is actually up 2 lbs...Aunt Flo came a' knockin'...so, I know why I was mackin' out on everything in the house on Wednesday. Plus, I crave the sodium. Anyways, I have been on track the past two days. I am sure that by weigh-in, I will hopefully have lost a pound. That's my goal. I can see it now, 174.2.
I'm not taking the pressure off myself because of Faith leaving.
Anyway, wouldn't it be funny if Faith decided to weigh in on Monday and screwed any slackers over....:laugh:
I am shooting for an hour of exercise and workings...so, I'm def be moving0 -
I'm 2.2 lbs down already :laugh:0

I'm 2.2 lbs down already :laugh:
See, you were freakin' out about nothing!!! Your welcome to come back to the challenge. Just weigh in on Monday. I was just saying how funny it would be if you weighed in on Monday. Then, some slacker who thought they had it easy this week would be in trouble.:bigsmile:0 -
Nice job Faith! Are you going to rejoin the challenge then?
I had my conference yesterday at the burn unit of a hospital. Breakfast and lunch were provided and I went way overboard. But they did have cookies during one of our breaks and I didn't even go near them. A very small victory when I think about how much I had already eaten, but I still was proud of myself nonetheless. Then my class went out to dinner and I ordered a veggie wrap and sweet potato fries and ate every single bite
I was so mad at myself last night. I really need to work on my self-control. I wasn't even hungry most of the time. I feel like I work so hard for a week and then undo it all with one lousy day.
But I am going to work my *kitten* off today and tomorrow to make up for it. I have the longest training run I've ever done today so I'm just telling myself that all that food yesterday was fuel for this morning's run.
Have a great Saturday everyone!0 -
Hey, grrr, I feel like the weight is not going to come off this week...in fact, I'm going the wrong way...hopefully, tomorrow I will be able to flush it out somehow...water, water, water...I'll even take breaking even
*fingers crossed*
I worked my butt off last night and tonight...I claim 200 calories for a shift...but, I bet it's a lot more than that...:grumble:
Sara, hope you had a nice time out with hubs...
Lindsey, how was your run? Did you burn all your calories?0 -
double0
-
C'mon SLIMSTERS....it's our final day to push for a big loss....water, water, water until the kidneys are floating0
-
How are you guys doing this week? I am trying to work my butt off since I have to weigh-in in a little over a day.
I am a little nervous about it. I am hoping to be down at least a pound from Monday.
We cannot lose anymore teammates this week!0 -
Hello Slimsters! I'm back! How is everyone doing?0
-
So I guess we're a quiet group!0
-
Hey Slimsters! Not much to report here - kind of a crappy week for me....we've had some kind of sickness here and currently Redmond and I have it. So, mommy is getting no sleep since Redmond isn't sleeping. Hoping it passes quickly.....I've got a ton of things to do this week - we're leaving Sunday for three weeks :ohwell:0
-
Hope your week gets better McFatterton. Where are you going?
Well, I worked out like a crazy person yesterday (at least for me) and burned over 1000 calories! I had to struggle just to get my net calories to 1200. Weighed myself this morning and I"m down.... I'm down a lot, at least for me -0.7. Whoohoo!!0 -
Have you seen the http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/113190-help-i-ve-lost-my-cat tread? It matches weight lost to funny items. As of this morning I have lost a cinderblock, aiming to lose the average leg soon! :laugh:0
-
It's 11:39 pm, and I'm STARVING!!! I'm super-craving a big bowl of cereal. But I'm trying to just keep drinking my water instead. Maybe I should just go to bed, to sleep off the hunger. Grrrr....0

That's hilarious! I've lost a 3 gallon tub of ice cream :laugh: mmmm.......ice cream.......
Still feeling under the weather - hubby took a sick day today to help take care of our 5 month old.
To answer your question Heather, we're going to Maryland (we live in Michigan). My husband's company is located in both states and he manages people in both places. So, starting next week we'll be spending half our time there and half our time here. It'll be an adventure, that's for sure!0 -
Wow, half one place and half another place? That's quite a big life! Good luck with that.
So, I just realized that our next weigh-in is the DAY AFTER EASTER!! As in, the day after a HUGE amount of food! Our family is going to a buffet, and all the food there is SOOOOOO good. OMG, what am I going to do?? AAAAHH!!! :sick:0 -

We'll be spending most of the day in the car.....we are making a pit stop at my Grandparents house but will most likely beat the crowd and all of the food (my family is huge - my mom has 10 siblings and all holidays are a carry-in). So, even though we won't be eating an Easter dinner, we will be eating on the road. So, not only is Easter Sunday, but my birthday is Saturday.....and my friend brought over my bday presents last night and was sure to include a bunch of chocolate and candy! She KNOWS that I'm trying not to eat this stuff.....and of course, it's my favorites :grumble:0 -
Grrrrr..... nice friend - ha! This is soooooo going to be hard to do this weekend. Have a very happy birthday, though! :flowerforyou:0

Thanks :happy:
I admit - I'm pretty p!ssed off that she did that - she knows that I'm trying to lose weight and I have to constantly tell her to NOT bring me sweets - apparently she forgot :ohwell:0 -
Have a great Birthday this weekend!
I think I'm the only freak that likes our weigh in is right after Easter. It will keep me (at least somewhat) from going all crazy at Easter. Our family does buffet style too. I'm bringing all the juices. The latest addition to the buffet, my cousin and her daughter are bring sausage and syrup... yep, sausage and syrup. Eww. Pre-MFP, I would have been "Oh Yum!" but now it just sounds like a nightmare. I just found out my gym is closed on Sunday, so I'll have to work out extra hard on Saturday.
We can do this! Just drink tons of water and don't go crazy and we will be just fine!0 -
Hello, Slimsters!! Here's to wishing everyone a HEALTHY weekend! Just remember, the holiday food may taste amazing as it enters your mouth, BUT it'll be DISGUSTING realizing how much you need to work out to burn it off. Stay in control - don't let the yummy food control you! Good luck this weekend, everyone. And, Happy Easter!

We Won! We Won! We Won!!!!!!!!!!!0

Wow I really needed the immunity last night. Very grateful I won it. I visited my dad at the hospice center and it was just a rough night. So after I went out with a friend. Happy to say I only at about 1/8 of our Mexican appetizer sampler (compared to the 1/2 I'd previously do), but the cheap 32 oz beer and 32 oz margarita I couldn't resist. I'm up 1.1 pound this morning. Sad I'm back in the 240's today. Hopefully most of it is just sodium.
How is your guy's weeks going so far?0 -
Heather - sorry to hear of your rough night - but glad you got to go out and enjoy yourself! Isn't it amazing how our eating habits change? The quantity of food I actually consume now is so much smaller than what it used to be - I'm so grossed out by how much I used to eat! Chug-a-lug that water girl! :drinker:
My week is going good considering I'm living in a hotel with no kitchen or gym. I'm taking Oliver (my dog) and Redmond (my 5 month old) for at least 2 walks a day and just trying to make good decisions with what I'm eating. The big problem is that there are so many GOOD restaurants here that we don't have back at home and I'm usually estimating my calories. I'm staying under without a problem, but am not getting as many veggies as I should be. I've successfully passed up the complimentary waffles, danishes and muffins that the hotel offers each morning. We'll be in our house out here by the weekend, so I'll have a kitchen again soon. And, they have an organic grocery store (I think it's similar to Whole Foods) that I can't wait to go spend lots of money at!!!
Hope you're all having a good week!0
