    Check-in:
    Cals - Under by 1!
    Water - 88 oz
    Exercise - 1 hour of yoga in the park

    I am not worried I know it is water retention. I have not been able to wear my usually loose wedding ring in 2 days and I know 1.8 pounds is not going to make that ring tight. WATER RETENTION IS EVIL!!!

    Thanks for the cheers for Ryan. I am sorry but can I brag one more time My daughter Haley received an award last night for Academic Excellence and for Being in the honor roll. Maintaining a 4.0 for her entire 8th grade school year. Proud of her!!! I have always called her my mini mouse because she is a little "woman"

    Momma- Brag AWAY! Love hearing about your family! Hope you got a Dr. appt scheduled ur post scared me!

    Lauren- WTG being under calories!

    I check the boards maybe once a week and was happy to see so many of you back! Maybe Ill get back into it soon!

    Im holding steady at 204.2 this morning. Tomorrow we are going to a mothers day brunch and I have been fighting with myself all day trying to decide if I can make it through the brunch with responsible eating. I know my best bet is to plan ahead so I am going to take a look at the menu and try to plan my day around it.

    I have been bad with excercise but good with calories (mostly). I know if i start working out again the numbers will begin moving so I better refocus and get to it. My end of May goal is 199

    Istapaul congrats!!

    Momma please :love: PLEASE :flowerforyou: brag all you can! If you can't share your good news with us then what's the point? We LOVE to hear about how your family is doing!!!:smile:

    I think that I probably have a bit of a loss this week but erm... that will show up later today if I eat a little more fiber if you know what I mean :embarassed:

    TMI WARNING - to "the girls" are about the same size now and probably A cups ish - but their hard as a rock - or really more like grapefruit... and the expanders are attached to the chest wall so they don't move. at all. And right now their kinda wall-eyed... Probably at a first glance they look ok and I look more "normal" now but it's really weird having these lumps attached to me. Last night after a couple of margaritas Beth (our boarder) and I were bouncing up and down beside each other - Beth is well endowed and was wearing a tank top - I had a tee-shirt on. It was pretty funny to see all her bounce and my zero bounce (at least at the time!)

    Checking in for Cinco de Mayo
    Calories - over by 350 (alcohol - otherwise I ate well!)
    Exercise - no official exercise but I was very active
    Water - plenty and then some!

    Proud: I ate really healthy yesterday - I had some "reduced guilt" pita chips with hummus, and for dinner I ate black bean tacos with a sprinkle of cheese and Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream. I used a cabbage leaf in place of a taco shell. I also got out and moved! I caught our chickens in the coop so that Meghan could trim their flight feathers. For whatever reason she gets freaked out to catch them because they flap around so much at first. Then we walked out to the pasture and I wormed the horse - nothing too tough but I was active!

    Renea! - Yes Please! It's so great to see you on the boards again and look at you go! Down 18 lbs! I am super ready to kick my weight loss into gear and everyone on here has been working to kinda re-commit.

    Yay! Old friends, new friends - that's what it's all about!:drinker:

    Renae_Kay: Good to see you and congrats on your 18 lbs. lost!

    so not a huge loss, but i will take it, after eating everything last weekend.

    Heather - We aren't going to fogo de chao, it is this other place , we haven't been to before but got a groupon for it and hubby checked it out and got 4 starts. Then we are going to see fast and furious 5, yes i am wanting to see it. I have this "thing" for vin disel and love his voice and anything he is in :smile: and jermey likes car movies so its a win win

    momma - brag away

    chris good to see you , miss you :smile:

    renae - welcome back, alot of us are getting back on track you are always welcome.


    So i did it !! I went and joined a gym, the more i thought about it going to the figtnesss center when it opens in a few weeks is that it is very small and no arc trainer , and like 1 elliptical so if itis busy i am out of luck,.

    We have a nytime fitness here, it is like 34 a month (plus i had to pay for a key). Hubby is fine with what he uses the fitness center for plus rfunning outside. They have 2 arc trainers and 2 ellipticals.then all the other stuff.

    i felt bad cause i was paying more money after we said we weren't going to do it, but i think it will be better for me, last year when we joined the gym and i went and did this every day i kicked it all summer., i mean there aren't any classes or anything like that , but we might get a spin bike for the house, but for my lunch time workout i think it will be great, it is pretty much empty at lunch time.

    Getting on the scale only once a week has been amazing for me mentally. I don't see the dramatic day to day fluctuations and can then focus on the weekly drop and be happy with that! Heading for the beach tomorrow and am really excited. I was in change of helping the organizer shop for our food, so I know that there are a lot of healthy options because I got to pick them all! We're a fairly health-conscious bunch, but if it was in whole grain or reduced-sodium form, that's what we got. Heehee!

    Here's hoping the weather will be nice and warm for us.

    Purple-Hope you enjoy the beach

    Heather-2 steppin is about as "dancy" as I get! And I love the Chipotle bouritto bowls! They are so good!

    Momma-So glad to hear Ryan is doing great in his new classes!! Congrats to your daughter! 4.0 the whole year is amazing.

    Deb-Hope you get things figured our Serena soon. I know you have been dealing with it for awhile. Praying you get some answers soon!

  • HonestOmnivore
    HonestOmnivore Posts: 1,356 Member
    Checking in for Friday -

    Calories - under by 900
    Exercise - none
    Water - great
    Proud - I felt ill so I went back to bed at lunch time and slept until 11 PM. I'm proud I didn't start munching while I watched a little TV and waited up for Meghan.

    Saturday (was so BAD!)
    Calories - over by 2500 - seriously! Movie popcorn, french toast - it was a BAD day
    Exercise - none
    Water - great
    Proud - that I'm shrugging off todays horrible calories and planning on going light tomorrow. I only go to the movies a few times a year... it happens!

    Quick correction on the above post - I was actually over by about 1630 calories - still HORRIBLE but at least not two full days worth.

    Today I've started out well with a slice of sprouted whole grain bread, toasted, with some of Trader Joes Roasted Flaxseed Peanut butter (YUM) and a TB of Raspberry jam - LOVE! It's still high calorie for a breakfast but since I ate it a 11:30 it's more of my Mother's day brunch.

    On a side note - Meghan's mom (my step daughter) gave me an Amazon gift card for Mothers day - I thought that was very nice of her!

    And...

    HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL OF OUR MOMS!!! (And soon to be Moms!!!) :heart: :drinker: :heart: :flowerforyou: :love: :drinker: :heart: :smooched:

    I really need to break this pattern, so now i have been back in it for 2 weeks and both weeks , do good during the week and totally blow it over the weekend, not just 1 meal but the the whole dang weekend,

    I relaly have to stop it....i am not going to get anywhere if i keep this up. :sad:

    HonestOmnivore Posts: 1,356 Member
    Deb I'm sorry you had a bad weekend - I had a REALLY bad Saturday and I struggled today. It's like I just keep thinking of fun things to do that involve food - and all sorts of (lame) reasons to do them. Meghan went to prom this weekend so of course it seemed like the perfect time to have a nice meal and go out for breakfast etc... lame.:huh: :grumble:

    Checking in for today:
    Calories - barely!
    Exercise - Uhm weeded the garden?
    Water - awesome

    Proud: that I managed to NOT go out to eat today and that even with half a cup cake I stayed on course...

    Good morning girls.

    Okay back on track take 3. Let's see if i can do it the whole week this time :sad: ON the scale this morning and about 8 -9 lbs + since friday., i know it is mostly soidum but still :sad:

    Today i think i iwll try out my gym for the 1st time. Tomorrow i have a dentist appt so won't be able to go, but going to try to go every other day.

    Lildeb: hang in there - you know you didn't gain that much over the weekend so it is likely water and will come off quickly...
    Mstahl: We've got prom coming up this weekend, my daughter was SOOOO busy the last couple of weeks that she had no time to shop for a dress and finally had an hour last night to go to Herbergers - she got lucky and found a gorgeous dress that fits her and was on clearance for $40 (that's the best part!). Now I have to convince her that she has no choice about bringing her boyfriend (she is the driver) to our house before prom for pictures. They haven't been dating all that long so she is pretty uncomfortable about making a big deal of it, but I want some pictures! Do you think I should agree to just take pictures of her before she leaves and trust her to get pictures of the two of them from his parents? or offer to go to his house for pictures? We have a pretty cherry tree in our backyard that will hopefully be blooming for pictures - so I would kind of like them at our house too.

    I had a good weekend, but I did splurge on some french silk pie yesterday .... but skipped the crust. I really only needed a couple of bites but had the whole thing :sick: ... oh well. Back to it today - I have been doing so well that I am really afraid of losing my motivation.

    Lstpaul - Thanks, i know it is water weight. I am sure it will come off, i was soo close to get out of the 270's last week but i am sure this week i will be busting my but to just get me back to where i was on friday. :sad:

    I am planning on checking out my new gym today( i signed a 2 yr contract so i guess have no choice anymore :SMILE: )


    Where is everyone this morning!! It sure is quiet.

    Hi ladies,

    Just wanted to let you know I won't be posting this week because I'm in South Carolina (Isle of Palms - gorgeous!) for our family vacation. I'm tracking everything and will get lots of walking in. Yesterday I did yoga with my sister and then went for a 2 mile run/walk.

    Have a great week and HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY!!

    Hey ladies! Hope everyone had a great weekend! Happy Mother's Day to all of our mamas and soon-to-be mamas!

    Super short post today - still no official work station at work lol.

    Feeling near-death currently. Food sounds like the worst idea ever. Still waiting for TOM to show up.... we're not at T-plus 1 week. yikes!

    Sherry: Congrats to Hailey on her academic award and amazing grade point average!

    Renea: Welcome back!

    Melinda: Your story about bouncing after margaritas had me cracking up. Love it!

    Lauren: Enjoy your vacation!

    Not much to report here other than the 5k was mentally more challenging that the others I've done because I could see the finish line the whole time! Grrr. My eating wasn't great, but much better than last week, so I'll take it. That's about all on this front.

    Happy Monday!

    Check in for today
    Calories: Under by 100
    Water: Not so good
    Exercise: Not much

    I do not know what to do...due to the program I am in, I have to weigh in on Monday and I am not suppose to step on a scale any other day of the week......i know you guys do weigh ins on Friday, but I have to on Monday....well just to let everyone know I lost 4 pounds this past week :)

    Yay Renea congrats 4 pounds is a lot of weight..... Just report Monday's weightloss on Friday. I am sure that no one would mind.

    Renee - I vote you weigh in on Mondays as usual and just let us know! on Friday This group is way more about the day to day support than just the Friday weigh ins :)

    Checking in for today:
    calories - just under
    exercise - uhm *shifty eyes*
    water - awesome

    Proud: I'm proud that I'm being more flexible with my diet. Today I got up late so I had toast with peanut butter and then next to nothing until dinner. I usually would have a snack but i suspected I'd go over at dinner and I'm glad I followed my gut. (hee hee) I think that it's really a bad idea to go too long without food but every once in a while? fine.

    When I read about people missing their period - after all the new moms.... I have to remind myself I no longer have the equipment! YIKES!:noway:

    TMI - just to add to my Cinco de Mayo story - per a video I saw... I was bouncing while a friend would say "fake boobies" and then Beth would bounce and you'd hear "real boobies" and we must have repeated this about four times... Luckily for me no faces were shown in the creation of that video! LET THIS BE A WARNING AGAINST ALCOHOL!!!:tongue:

    I was able to stretch quite a bit this weekend and I'm getting some good range of motion back :happy:

    Yesterday and today we were able to let the chickens run around the back yard for a few hours. It's really sweet to see how happy they are to get out of their coop. ("COOPED" up? LOL!) Their coop is made out of a chain link dog kennel with a nest box and a shelter box (a repurposed litter box and a winterized dog house) and roosts. - so they're outside all the time, but having all that fresh grass to hunt for bugs was clearly fun for them. Every few weeks we move their coop over fresh grass but they quickly "foul' it (OMG I'm cracking myself up!) It's been a cold wet spring so these nice days have been awesome!

    I hope everyone has a great week! I go back to the doctor tomorrow for more "expansion" - I'm not sure how long this will go on but I'm shooting for official "C" cup... Oh the excitement (not really).

    As for my positive attitude - really the whole thing has been kinda ridiculous and it's way easier to laugh about it than be upset. Plus I am SO :heart: BLESSED:heart: that I DON'T have cancer. Most people go through this while coping with the fear and anxiety their cancer diagnosis and treatment. I got a "heads up" warning thanks to the genetid testing that provided this great opportunity to avoid not only the trauma of a cancer diagnosis but also the fear and general disruption of your life for treatment. I guess it just puts me in the ideal spot where I'm far more thankful than distressed and the awkward or goofy aspects of the process just have to be laughed at :laugh: .

    That being said I hope I get cleared to work more than 20 hrs/ a week tomorrow because I miss:brokenheart: my old pay check:cry: almost as much as I miss my job!:drinker:

    You can all be happy that I'm not posting "after" photos of the surgery! :devil: Just imagine boobs shaped like tennis balls, with inverted nipples pointing outward and a general look of wide eyed terror. Kinda like eyes bugging out! :laugh: LOL they really are a sight!:blushing:
