Laboring Towards Labor Day (CLOSED GRP)

Alright folks, I have GOT to get my act together. I started my first 'big girl' job last Monday (I just finished school -- my PhD coursework), and of course everyone wanted to take me to lunch... and then getting into a good routine for dinner... well, it hasn't been a good week. So I'm going to post some goals for me for the remainder of the challenge, beyond my weight loss goals. Hopefully writing them down will make me accountable...?
While at work, drink only water. Get in some form of exercise 4x a week. Log every bite of food that goes in my mouth, or at least a very best estimate. Remind yourself that this is a journey, not a race. A few steps back is NOT an excuse to quit.
And for Pete's sake, Shannon, you're worth it.
Alright, selfish post over. Y'all are doing SO awesome and you have no idea how inspirational and motivating you have all been. I honestly think that if it weren't for this challenge and the obligations I feel to it, I would be totally off the bandwagon and rolling right toward the buffet by now. Keep up the amazing work!!0 -

Sorry Blue team.....I weighed in yesterday, but showed a gain that I thought HAD to be wrong, so I waited until today which wasn't much better. :noway: Not thrilled to report a gain, but it is what it is. My apologies Blue team.....:embarassed:
You and me both - we need to get back on the ball! I've been struggling too - we can do this together!0 -

SHANNON - YOU ARE WORTH IT!! Just wanted to make sure that sinks in. And I agree that the support we provide and receive here helps to keep me in line. When I know weigh-in is coming, I make sure to behave! So take a little time to settle into your new routine - hang on and make smart choices until you can buckle down again. You can do this!0 -
Thanks for the cheer!!! We are going home friday and I hope to get my act back running as hard as I was last month.0

Another weekend I will be away for parties and drinking. I love these
boat cruises but they are hard on eating and making the right choices
but I will push on. This is our last group cruise so I hope to really crack
down after that.
Good Luck Green Team and all the other teams.
Shannon: You are doing great, we all have our ups and downs and struggles but
you can do this. Just pick yourself up and dust yourself off and get going.
Once you stop its harder to get back at it. Keep going girl !!!!0 -
Congrats to the TEAL Team for being the biggest team losers for the 3rd week of our Labor Day challenge!
Congrats to Shirley for being the big loser this week!
Thanks for the chart work, Denise! Enjoy your vacation!
I'm so lazy with the heat, but I'm fighting to stay away from the chocolate chip cookies I made for my son yesterday...just put them in his bedroom. Out of sight is best! Better go drink some water, too!0 -
Go Teal Team!!! Woot woot!0

GO TEAL TEAM!!!
So today I found a cherry pit under my scale. I know it doesn't sound like anything but I think it has been inflating my weight loss a little. Sigh. I can't say I'm not a little disappointed but it is what it is and I'm just going to have to move on from this. Luckily, I didn't have a gain.
188.2
Down 0.2. Oh well. Hopefully next week will be better. At least that puts me at an a 4 lb loss for this challenge. I think I'm going to weigh in again if I get a better result tomorrow.0 -
Hi all Hows blue's?:flowerforyou:

It is not a great loss, but the way I have been eating these last couple of days, i blame TOM, i am glad it did go down. I am also back to working out. No stress fracture just chronic shin splints, which means I have to take my high impact workouts down a bit.0 -
