Debbie, guzzle that water!

Erin, that's probably the best cat story I've ever heard...

Debbie, it is the curse of the 170s. I think my body just likes to be here. I have no idea why. That's how I got eliminated from the last comp. BBQ. I ate it on a Saturday and was eliminated on a Monday.

I tried to do W5D3 of the C25K...FAILED...way too hot and humid...kind of bummed about that

I did get Ripped in 30 with Jillian. Even the cover looks scary!

Well, I am :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: water like crazy with hopes of a flush.

48 hours later and my cat is home!!! I'm at work but my daughter just IM me on Facebook... She says he has all sorts of gooey puss coming outta his face but he's home... Phewww!

mcdebbie

Glad the cat is home.

I'm guzzling :drinker: hope it helps

Glad the cat's home! Sounds like a vet visit might be in order to get that infection/abscess under control. Good luck!

Thought I'd pop in and wish everyone well for tomorrow's weigh-in! I had an AWESOME day yesterday - everything clicked and I feel like it's just what I needed to get my mojo back. I've got a new workout plan figured out (thanks to the new app I'm using) and am signed up for two intermediate races between now and my half marathon in October. The last time I weighed myself (late last week?) I was up some more, but I think I'm just going to stay off the scale for awhile - at least a month. I need to focus on re-establishing healthy habits and not on my weight. The weight loss will happen when my habits are healthy.

EvaiTryst

Yeah, glad the kitty is home!

My cat Kiri whom I don't really consider a cat... more like a calico tabby demon... has done many strange things over the years, but that was the best. We searched and searched for that freaking controller and when we found it... LOL... never expected that. She also used to climb drywall too. You'd come out of the bedroom and she'd be hanging there like... "Hello!"

I'm having a "I feel fat" week, but it doesn't help that Aunt Flo is here. I think I might have a slight loss, but it won't be much. *sigh*
Ah well. My goal is to be in the 150's by August 9 so that when I go to the doctor for my physical that day I can be like... "SEE I've LOST WEIGHT! My BMI isn't in the obese category anymore!" *laughs* I'll show her!!!! I'll have to tell her to take the obese off my current health issues and make it "overweight" That way I'll be driven to get that off of there as well. lol

I'm rambling. My brain is fried after counting too many nuts, bolts, snap rings and etc today. I can't wait until inventory is done with at work. UGH!

Trent, as usual I wish you luck!
You have to do what is best for you.

I'm going to do some L2 Shred now and then some Yoga to hopefully clear my mind....

mcdebbie

Hope we don't get our butt's kicked tomorrow, I was still up this morning but after all the water guzzling I was doing a lot of whizzing, much more than normal. (sorry if TMI) Kicked up the treadmill tonight and did an extra 5 minutes (big whoops :happy: ) but hey, I'm an old lady!

Trent, good to see you! Kim and Kasi, hope you are kicking it out to save us this week. :bigsmile:

nisijam5

Yay, the kitty is home...someday, I'll tell you how my daughter lost our new cat at the park.

That's true, Trent, healthy living will move the scale. Glad you got the mojo back.

Erin, sorry about the fat week...I like the theory on the MD visit. I bet you'll be able to do it. My hubs just did a Ways to Wellness program and lost 25 lbs..his metabolic age went from 64 to 43. His real age is 52. The change is unbelievable. I bet yours is too.

The scale doesn't seem to be moving for me either way...

EvaiTryst

Thanks, Kim. I hope the scale starts moving for you. Wish I had some miracle tip to help you... to help us all. lol

I just hope when I go in... she notices the weight-loss on the little computer of her. If I go in and she doesn't say a damn thing... I'm going to be screaming... Well... maybe not actually. I'm normally to even tempered for that. *sigh*

I've dropped actually more than the 28 since I last saw her. My highest weight was 205. I certainly notice a difference in my stamina thought and it's great.

Aprilstar480

I feel really good this week! People are totally noticing my weight loss and I've been getting lots of complements lately:blushing: I should have a good number to post...Go Fat Fighters!

Aprilstar480

Got a little quiet on this thread lately! I'm getting ready to take my cat to the vet, he managed to rip off the excess skin/fur that was hanging after his absess ruptured and now he's just got exposed (stinky) meat on the side of his face! Poor cat!

Hey Kim, no more throwing yourself under the bus! Obviously it wasn't your time to go yet

Erin, quit beating yourself up! For someone to lose consistantly with awesome numbers like you do, there is no reason for disappointment. You have been truely inspirational with your journey!

Debbie, Just keep moving forward... your doing great! :flowerforyou:

Poor kitty! :frown: Hope he's better soon - that sounds absolutely awful.

Sounds like it was a tough week for quite a few people - hang in there - you can do this!! :drinker:

Erin - congrats on such a great week! Keep it up - don't let the scale dictate how you feel about yourself. We all have our "fat days (weeks)" but you just have to shake it off and keep on going.

Cool!

EvaiTryst

Thanks guys. It's just been one of those weeks, but Inventory is almost complete at work!!!!!!! *jumps for joy*

My day started out kinda funny. Put my pants on backwards. LOL. realized it right away though.

Hope kitty gets better quick and friggin awesome job Kasi.

mcdebbie

We had an ice cream social at work today, I couldn't NOT go, that would have been just rude. :laugh: I only ate half of what I got but when I went to log it I about died when I found out Blue Bell ice cream has 360 calories per cup. I didn't bother logging the chocolate syrup, strawberries in syrup, whipped cream and nuts. Hey, at least I left off the cherry. Next time I will check the calorie content and be rude.

That's my down fall, free food. So hard to pass up. If I had had to pay say $5.00 or even $2 or $3 I probably would have just said no. I need to learn to put a calorie $$ sign on all the free foods.

Aprilstar480

Debbie, maybe even a # sign on free food might work I have the same problem with leftover food... I don't want it to go to waste!

Monster kitty is staying the night at the hospital but they are taking good care of him.. they kept calling him Scrapper cause i guess typical absesses are on the back half of the cats cause they are running away and Monster apparently took on his attacker without fear...crazy cat!

Back to Debbies comment... the new phase here in Salem is Frozen Yogurt shops. They have tons of different flavors to choose from and an awesome selection of toppings including fresh fruit. The fruit looks so yummy it isn't even that hard to skip the candy toppings

mcdebbie

Hello peeps, how's everybody doing? Hope you all had a good weekend. I ate and drank too much but at least I am back where I was last week. I seem to be stalled. The 70's curse.

Kasi, how's the kitty? Our administrator's dog died over the weekend, it ate a frog. Must have been some wicked frog.

nisijam5

Hey all....computer crashed and I lost all my data :explode: it's only 6 months old :ohwell: It's a trip to Best Buy tonight and see what we can do?

Warrior Dash was awesome!!! A bunch of co-workers, along with me, hubs and my 13 year old, Kyle. Kyle went thru the course twice. Show-off!! It was brutal. :sad:

I am back on my healthy living this week. I just lost it for about a week. I've been doing the 30 day slimdown very consistently. Not so good on the C25K because of the heat. Today is Shred #1 and maybe I'll go for the C25K later tonight.

Erin, hope that the stress levels are betting at work. :flowerforyou:

Kasi, you have a crazy cat...what a brawler!! :devil:

Debbie, ick on the frog...hope that you conquer the 70's curse :grumble: ...have you tried the Shred, it might just jump start you...at least, that's why I am doing it.

That's is for now...must put groceries away, go get cat and dog food and a trip to get a calendar because I lost mine and have no clue what is going on without it...combine that, with losing all the data on the computer...SUCKS!!!

irishgal44

Sorry I haven't been on here...it's been crazy and I didn't have internet for about a week...my fault!! :ohwell: :embarassed:

Kim - great job on the Warrior Dash!!!! So I have a question...was reading about it and didn't realize you take a bus to it - how fun is that!! Is the Wisconsin one the same way? I cannot wait to do the dash in WI!!

nehtaeh

Kasi, how's the kitty? Our administrator's dog died over the weekend, it ate a frog. Must have been some wicked frog.

Apparently frogs (toads) release some sort of toxin when they are caught. My mom's dog hunts the toads that get into their garden. Everytime she catches one, it releases the toxin and she pukes. She has yet to eat one, but I imagine it would be deadly to a dog. Sorry bout the dog. :sad:

irishgal44

I didn't realize that - how scarey about frogs. We have them all over in our area.

mcdebbie

I did not know that either. DH said he knew of a Bufo toad that would squirt poison but I did not know of that or any other frog/toad big bad killer. I know we used to have a lot of them around here and now I wonder about one of our cats, fine one night and dead as a doornail outside the next morning.

Kim, I hear your pain on losing everything on the computer, that happened to me back in January. Luckily my most important info, the Quicken data, was always backed up but lost tons of pictures. I have a computer dude trying to get the pictures off of it now but he is slow as molasses. He used to come here and spend HOURS but this time I made DH take the old hard drive to him. Anyway, note to self, buy backup hard drive NOW.

My kitty is doing better... He HATES the cone on his head and REALLY HATES being stuck inside but he is healing pretty well.

I'm working on rehydrating myself today after this weekend. It got warm here and I was outside in the heat from 9am to 8pm on Saturday and 8am to about 6pm yesterday. My 11 year old, 3 nephews, and few friends all played in an annual 3 on 3 Basketball tournament. My husband usually plays but he injured his knee recently so had to bow out this time. It's always alot of fun but this year was exhausting since there were so many people playing in different divisions. I probably did about 2 hours worth of walking on saturday alone and the heat was rediculous!

I noticed a sign at the vet that listed all the typical things an animal with injest that causes complications... didn't see frogs on that list. That's so sad that they lost their doggie

nisijam5

Kasi, glad that kitty is doing better. I wouldn't want to wear a cone either. I'm kind of fashion conscious.

Debbie, I lost all the Quicken data as well So, I have all this remodeling we're doing and we are getting down nitty-gritty with $$$ and I am hoping not to go in the red. You know how you budget and then there are bunches of things that get added to the mix. It doesn't help that we bought a new car either. :ohwell: We haven't had a car payment for a long, long time. Even tho, hubs hit 31 mpg on the new vehicle which blows away the 11 mpg with the Expedition. So, we are saving in gas!!! :drinker:

Detox went pretty well yesterday. Hubs wanted to go out to dinner and I said "NO!!" WTF, it's not good when lushes unite!!

Aprilstar480

How's everyone feeling about the weigh-in this week? I'm a little nervous... apparently between the heat and the drinks I've managed to screw myself up a little.

Oh Erin, I was gonna tell ya... the other day I was cleaning monsters litter box and found a pair of my kids underwear in it! Thought it was pretty ironic that you had just mentioned finding treasures in the poop box! We had to put shredded newspaper in the box cause he was nuetered and apparently clay litter will stick to the incision so maybe he was confused:ohwell:

mcdebbie

Wow, this brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "look what the cat dragged in" :laugh: :laugh:

I am not sure about my weigh in tomorrow, I think I will be the same or a little bit under. I have not been eating very much lately and I think it is a problem. Guess my stomach has shrunk but my body says let's hold on to the fat. Yeah, yeah I've read all that about your body won't go into starvation mode unless you are really restricting calories but not sure what else it could be. Okay, my legs are more muscled so maybe that weighs more. Yeah, right. Anyway, I am hoping for some loss this week. Hope Faith doesn't kick our butts.

EvaiTryst

That's too funny Kasi!!!!

Debbie, well muscle does weigh more!

I have no idea what I'm going to be at... I had gained a little back and then started losing again... so who knows!

I had taken it easy this past weekend. Didn't work out on Sunday and only did Yoga on Sat. but I was so sore from Kenpo X and JM Abs from Thursday and Friday.

Aprilstar480

I'm so excited! I just looked up warrior dash and they do have one in Oregon! I've never heard of the city that it is taking place in but the accomodation link shows places in Hillsboro... that's not too far away at all! Ours is in September... I hope I can get my hubby to go with me! I think he will really like it... oh I can't wait to talk to him about it!!!

Sweeeet! It looks like so much fun!

Glad none of us were eliminated this week and am VERY happy that Kim has decided to keep teams for one more week as I think I am going to need you two to pull my $ss out of the fire next week. We stop smoking on Monday - which means we also must quit drinking. The drinking will free up lots of calories BUT it does help keep down the water weight right? :laugh: :laugh:

Kasi, you said you stopped smoking a few months before the challenge started right? How do you get through the whiskey without a smoke?

Anyway, I figure even if I am booted off of this challenge in a week or two I will still be a lot healther a month from now.

Erin, you rock again! But more choices to make, at least this time you don't have to worry about changing peoples teams.
