    Checking in for Monday:

    Calories: 58 under
    Exercise: Circuit training with PT + 5 minutes elliptical
    Water: 8 glasses
    Proud: I walked a 5k at my camper and then (somewhat reluctantly) jumped in the lake with my daughter to cool off/clean up. VERY COLD, but fun for the 2 of us.

    Purpleprose - Like your goals.

    hello girls

    Julie - soo close..you are right where i was 8 years ago (yeah i can't believe that) , it will be time soon.

    Jess - YAY Mavricks, i am not a basketball fan but got to be excited about it :smile:

    Well today is my re-start yeah i have been doing that way to often, hopefully that will be the last time.

    Today i went to the dr cause my throat and ears were hurting apperently it is stress she says, tmj probably from grinding my teeth and stress...i felt like crap and caused it myself. I have to figure out to not stress out all the time, last week i was on call and crap with the in laws. So i guess good news i don't have anything really wrong with me.

    My poor baby girl, okay not baby but she she had a morning full of dental work, she did a lot better than i though.

    So needless to say i didn't make it to the gym...but i did stick to my calories so i will take that as a win.

    Check in -
    Calories - 82 over
    water - 4 cups
    exercise - none
    proud - even though i felt like crap i didn't cave in and overeat.

    Deb - you can do it! What got me back on track after my break was to focus just one day at a time instead of looking at the big picture because it was too overwhelming to think about the entire goal. Just get through one day at a time until you've gotten through a week and it becomes manageable and habit again. :heart:


    Today's check in:
    Calories: 235 under
    Water: 64 ounces
    Sodium: 433 under
    Exercise: 1 hour of personal training
    Proud: I went to personal training despite a hectic day of work and a migraine in the AM. And I persevered even though I almost totally puked all over that poor kid.

    Laila -- Thanks. :smile: I'm not at all ready and very ready at the same time if that makes any sense. I've been having crazy braxton-hicks contractions for about a week now. I've been having them daily since about 27 weeks but now there are times when I have 7-8 in an hour which starts to get really uncomfortable for me. They slow way down when I take it easy and get much worse when I've overdone it physically.

    I'm starting to hope she comes a couple weeks before her "due date" because I'm beginning to get fed up with being uncomfortable. I don't expect she will, though. She'll come out when she's good and ready. :smile:


    I understand what ur saying about sorta being ready. Believe me when the time comes u have to be ready. With my younger son I was getting Braxton kick around the sane time and I was put on bed rest because , first, I was overdoing it and , second, I was know to deliver early. My midwife kept telling me hold on until u hit 36 weeks...it was hard to not do anything, but I did try to hold off to 36 weeks. I was 1 day away and I went into labor, had my baby 4 weeks early.
    I think the reason I went into labor was I had to clean home and I also cooked dinner :-/

    So when it's ready ur baby girl will let u know

    Lilspy: With my first baby I was very ready and very not ready at all the same time. When my doc decided to have me induced and I had to go home, get my stuff and go back to the hospital that night - I went home and cried ... did not think I was ready. But it was all fine, and the best thing ever to have my kids! Don't make the same mistake I did with my first and overthink everything ... I was worried all the time. I was much better with my 2nd and enjoyed every minute because you realize how fast it all goes. I'm excited for you!
    RedneckWmn: Congrats! it always amazes me how long the basketball season goes on and on, especially when my team isn't even close to making the playoffs (T-wolves) ... When I saw that Dallas won - I didn't even realized that the championship game wasn't over a long time ago! Someday the T-Wolves will get better again. :cry:

    checking in for yesteday:
    calories: good
    exercise: good - an hour of step
    water: not so good
    proud: made mostly good food choices

    I'm a little mad. I worked my BUTT off exercising this weekend ... but I'm up 2 pounds. I did eat a lot too, and maybe I'm retaining water. Still irritating. :noway:

    Checking in for Monday.


    Calories: Right on
    Exercise: Yes almost 2 hours of walking around town
    water: I think I did good not really keeping track just drinking it. I know I was at the very least 64 ounces if not more

    Proud: This one gets hard to do on a daily basis... I am proud of the 2 pounds I lost this week(I am weighing in on Mondays now)

    Julie, I think I told you that Ryan was due on July 16th and I went into labor July 10 and had him on the 11th. Just relax, what I think of about my first is when I saw her for the first time it was like I had seen her before even though it was the first time. Instantaneous love. Just knew she was mine (I guess them pulling her out of me gave it away:laugh: ) But seriously It was just that recognition of a little person I have never seen before. :love: :love: :love: All the work it took is a blur you just do it and it all works out. I actually just told my husband that I am amazed that we almost have one raised and she turned out pretty good when it was he and I doing the raising:laugh: :laugh:

    Checking in for Monday!

    Calories- over by about 50
    Water - good
    Exercise- none
    Proud - I got home at 6 pm and went straight to bed, then woke up at 11PM and fed the dogs, fed the cats, found my cell phone (out in my car) and went back to bed without eating anything significant. Bad news was I had popcorn for dinner - good news was it was only a couple of hundred calories.

    Today we had a going away party for an executive. They served cookies and cake and strawberries. I ate all of it. gah! On the up side I split my lunch salad at Panera's in two and put half of it in a to-go box before I started. I'm proud of that!

    Calories: I am pretty sure I did good. I am trying to do this week on my own. I am not keeping track on mfp. In a month I am leaving for camp and I will not have mfp and I want to see if I have the ability to do it on my own. So I can do some tweaking before I go.. I am about 80% sure I am right on today. We will see next Monday.

    Exercise: Does playing and chasing my kids all over the yard with the hose count? If it doesn't it should I was getting out of breath and we played for at least an hour.. We were having so much fun even one of my teenagers broke the forbidden teenage rule by playing with us...:laugh:

    Water: I have another glass to drink and I will be there

    Proud that I think I did really well today on my own. Also proud that I kept pretty busy today!

    checking in for Tuesday:
    calories: over by 500+ ... not happy about that
    exercise: none ... was only planning to mow for exercise but it rained
    water: not so good
    proud: hmmm, went to my nutrition class

    Last night's nutrition class was about habits holding us back from losing weight:
    not enough sleep - causes carb cravings
    too many carbs causing blood sugar highs and then lows - which in turn cause cravings for more carbs/sugar
    artificial sweeteners
    alcohol too often
    I'm doing well on all of those most days.

    I'm going to struggle with the 'not enough sleep' issue today. My 10-yr old was up from 1:00am-3:30am (and consequently so was I) - with a stuffed up nose and couldn't fall back asleep, and was crying because he couldn't fall asleep so that made him more stuffy and more upset and so on, and so on... was a long night (or too short of a night).

    Calories: 154 under
    Water: 72+ ounces
    Sodium: 843 under
    Exercise: 20 minutes running at my fastest pace ever!!!
    Proud: I was feeling binge-y after supper and managed to keep it to just some cookies by calling my parents and a friend to keep me otherwise occupied.


    WHERE IS EVERYONE? I feel like things were active and then I came back and killed the thread!

    Hi ya girls, I am exhausted today... Mowed front lawn and back then I decided I would give my cocker spaniel a hair cut and bath.. It took me 2 hours.. I am now preparing dinner making soup with salad.. Making a light soup... So I am going to check in for today.

    water: about 120 ounces:noway: I am thirsty today

    Proud: Hmmm let me see I am proud that I am still here and keeping busy everyday instead of sitting around eating which would be easy to do with all of my kids home.

    Didn't have a good day - didn't feel well enough to work out then blew it with late night cookies.

    Disappointed in myself but I bought the damn cookies thinking I could handle having them in the house when I obviously couldn't. Just going to dust myself off and kick my own behind in the gym tomorrow.

    exercise - 50 min ( 440 cals)
    Proud - had a frustrating day and still did good

    Have to vent...uggg
    this guy at work i just want to freaking smack up side the head..I can't stand him. I am usally a person to get along with everyone, but he just rubs me the wrong way . Today he just put me over the edge i am sure i mouthed off more than i should but there is just so much i can take of this guy. hopefully tomorrow will be better...guess good thing at working from home i can yell at him and noone hears me.

    i am starting to get excited about some new choices i am going to be making with eating better and focusing on ingredients and not just calories.

    Yesterday's check-in, in all it's awfulness.


    Calories: 435 OVER :noway:
    Sodium: 23 under
    Water: 72+ ounces
    Exercise: none
    Proud: Not much to be proud of today, unfortunately. I was tired after work and went food-crazy. I am proud that I was able to tell myself that I can do better tomorrow. A year ago, I'd just keep on eating, figuring that things were already shot to hell, so what did it matter? Now I'm able to somewhat stop myself and to pick myself up and start again today.

    Today I've planned out most of my food, and am planning to make it to a 5:30 Zumba class, though if I can't ditch work early enough to make it there I'll go running instead.

    Water: 64oz (I think I need more)

    Deb -- Ew, I'm sorry. I'm having continuous problems with one of my coworkers as well. The problem is he doesn't want to do his job. And my problem with that is that I'm tired of doing his job for him. He's really lost his mind lately (I swear he's becoming senile). My supervisor and I worked on a memo last Friday & she sent it to everyone in our department to read over and make edits or suggestions. He came to my office and literally YELLED at me about how it was "written like a textbook" (Um... isn't that a good thing?). I suggested he help us rewrite it if he didn't like how it was written (just as much his job as it is mine!) and then he really blew up. He screamed the F-bomb 4 times at a pregnant girl about an effing MEMO! Who does that?! :laugh: I was totally shocked at the time but now I just think it's hilarious. I really hate that my supervisor was at lunch at the time because I would've loved to see her reaction. Hubby didn't think it was too funny when I told him though. :tongue:

    Hi girls just wanted to check in and see how you are all doing. 100 days until my wedding and I am no where near where I wanted to be...but lo and behold its my fault. I have lost all focus with all my family chaos. Im trying to buckle down now and at least get somewhere near the 190s that will make me happy. Im at 211 this morning, not complaining about that at all since with all the junk Ive eaten lately it could be much higher!

    Ive set small weekly goals for myself and this was (Saturday) was 213..so I won! hehe...next weeks goal (Sat) is 210 so Im working towards that now. If I meet all my Saturday goals it would put me at 200lbs for my dress fitting on July 30th and I would be ok with that. I was about 215 when I got the dress so it would be an improvement.

    Julie- You must be so ready to pop! How are you feeling? Bobby and I are already planning for #2 and we are super excited. Cant wait to see the baby pictures..u will post them on FB right?!

    Heather- how are the runs? You are so awesome! And the BF? ;)

    Momma- how is your amazing hubby and the kids?

    Posme- You seem to be doing so well! Im proud of you girl!

    Lildeb- looks like we are in the same boat with starting a new, good luck! You had a lot going on so dont beat yourself up just get back on the horse!

    Elmo- congrats on your anniversary! I will be in NYC on July 30..I think Im coming the day before this time so we may be able to meet up if ur around?! I hope so!

    Meook- I dont know if she looks here anymore but hope the pregnancy is going well!

    Mstahl- I miss you! How is Megan and the hubby? Still enjoying your red wine?! =^)

    Really miss you gals and think about you often! Hugs

    Cris20056: It's nice to see you on here ... your goals for your wedding sound good and you can do it!
    Lilspy: Wow, what a jerk you work with!
    LaDeb: Good job on working out even though your PT didn't show!
    Purpleprose: don't beat ourself up about yesterday - it sounds like you have a good plan for today and will be right back on track
    Tstout: Good job skipping the ice cream!
    Positively me: That's alot of exercise time playing tennis, good for you!
    Momma: I like getting my exercise mowing the lawn too, I'll be doing that tomorrow since I got rained out on Tuesday night. Our grass is REALLY long.

    checking in for yesterday:
    calories: good - but over on carbs
    exercise: good - an hour of step
    water: not so good - probably 70 oz.
    proud: had a challenging dinner with friends - I had a plan but the host switched her main dish from burgers to a chicken, stuffing casserole thing - but I tried to eat more of the chicken and less of the creamy stuffing parts - and she kept pushing the wine (which was yummy but I only wanted 1 glass but had almost 2). And my other friend is doing Weight Watchers so she brought an angelfood dessert with light whipped cream that was a good choice for her - but on my nutrition plan it was too many carbs, and I am avoiding anything light with aspartame in it ... so that wasn't good either - but won't kill me for one night and I didn't have much. So I didn't do great - but better than I would have done in the past.

    I'm baaack! The long weekend was fun but I ate lots. The sodium gain was 5 lbs., but I've dropped two of those already. I'm debating whether to weigh in at WW tonight or tomorrow. Not that it really matters. It's next week's weigh-in that will count more since I'll have time to be back on track and flush the rest of the bloat. For those of you not on FB, my new profile pic is me with Bessie the cow at the Cedar Crest ice cream factory in Manitowoc, WI. Yum!

    Lauren: Sorry about not getting to check in until today!

    Allison: You'll probably find that being less weight-focused, you might start losing more again. That happened to me. I think the stress of focusing on a number makes our bodies hold the weight more. Plus you'll find you're happier and more relaxed overall.

    Jess: Congrats to your Mavs! I was thinking of you, too, just didn't have computer access.

    Julie: I can't believe how fast the time as flown with your pregnancy. At least for me, since I didn't experience any of the discomfort. If you're comfortable with it, I would love to send a little something when she arrives.

    Theresa: Did you do C25K before? I've lost track of who has an who hasn't. You'll rock it!

    Ladeb: Yes, banish the scale to 1-2 times per week. You'll be happier, I promise!

    Sherry: Thanks for taking the time to send me a personal message and kicking my butt into gear to get back on the thread. I love how you're a "no excuses" kind of gal!

    Debbie: Fantasize really hard about puncturing the co-worker's tires and see if it comes true. It worked for me!

    Cris: I miss you, too! My runs (not to be confused with diarrhea) are going well. I have a 4 miler on Saturday. Hard to believe I'm almost half way through my New Year's goal already! Time flies.

    Checking in, for better or worse:
    Friday:
    Calories: Over
    Water: On Target
    Exercise: None
    Proud: Focused on IE
