Hello everyone!
Wow... I had no clue this thread would continue on so long! Thank you to everyone who has kept it going and it's so great to see all the new faces! Leela... you're awesome and I'm so glad you still check in here everyday! Also Nam... I saw it in the statuses... awesome job on your 10k!!!
I just got a new computer... which will make it easier to get on. For those of you who don't know me, I'm Nicole! I'm 22 and a college student currently home for the summer. I used to be a fairly active member but this summer has been really rough. I'm finally on track though... not so down in the dumps after being fired from a job I love for something that wasn't my fault. Basically-- under the circumstances, someone had to take the fall and I was the person the highest up that could do so.
I've actually been doing really well fitness wise-- going to the gym at least four times a week. Eating wise not so good but I plan to get back on track starting today. The gym was my saving grace the past couple of weeks as I went through bartending school and tried to get over the major loss of something to do and seeing my friends every day.
So ... goals for tonight/tomorrow.
1. Check in on here at least once!!
2. Log all food and exercise.
3. Be good at my brother's birthday picnic.
4. Write my essay.
It's so good to be baaaaccccckkkk!!!

I woke-up this morning without my voice ! All day with loss of voice. I was at a dance party with my line dance school. We enjoyed the great weather and I ate a little too much. So nice home made cakes !! And one beer... in fact two... but we dansed and had fun.
I had to go row a little to be able to have my night snack. So I'm under my limit for the day.
Teresa... Yes I went in the river up to the chin. BRRR cold in the beginning but not so bad after a couple of minutes. The flow of water was too big to swim but we had fun.
Goals for tomorrow :
1: Shut up my mouth to let my voice heal !
2: stay under limit
3: row 5000 m
4: 1.5 Litre of water
5: make new friends on MFP:drinker: Every one is welcome !
6: stay off computer 2 hours am and 2 hours pm:sad:
Voilà!
Have a nice day ! :flowerforyou:0 -
July 9th
1. Clean house cause we have company coming tomorrow to stay for I don't know how long. LOL - NO
2. Map out my 8 mile run for tomorrow. -YES
3. Figure out menu for the month. - No
As if my husband's identity being stolen and the guy who stole it racking up several (and I mean lots of severals) thousands of dollars worth of debt in my husband's name and my daughter's issues with work weren't enough.............I HAVE A PRETTY NASTY STAPH INFECTION TO BOUT.
So, I woke up feeling horrible, skipped our Saturday bike ride
I did go to my hair cut appointment but that is only cause I didn't have her number to cancel. Then went to the doc for what I thought was some poison oak and found out it was staph instead and that would explain why I have felt horrible the last few days.
So, for tonight, don't care about the house or a menu. I hope I care in the morning cause our house guest is coming and I would like at least a clean bathroom for him and some food. LOL
July 10th
1. Run my 8 miles as per my training schedule...I really hope I can do this sick....
2. Clean the house before Dave gets here.
3. I have no three. I will sleep after that I am sure!
I hope you all have a great Sunday.
Teresa, you are so close to your goal...congratulations. I know you can get those last few pounds gone.0 -
Goals for July 9:
1. Water.--Some, but should have had more
2. Track my food and stay in my calorie goals.--Yes and no.

4. Brush teeth right after dinner.--No. (That's why #2 has a 'no' in it!)
5. GO TO BED WHEN TIRED!!!--Yes.
Well, as usual, weekends appear to be my downfall. I am stopping this pattern TODAY!
Nicole--So nice to see you back! Sorry about losing your job but happy about you getting a new computer.
sl1mmy--VERY IMPORTANT!!!--If you HAVE to talk, try to do so naturally, don't whisper! Whispering is actually harder on your vocal cords and throat than regular talking is! Of course, it's best is you can manage to not talk at all--which would be VERY hard for me! LOL!
Leela--Sorry to hear about the staph infection. Is it the resistant strain? My daughters had that. One picked it up at the gym and then the other managed to get it, too! Keep it covered and I hope it heals quickly!

Goals for today:
1. Log all calories and stay within my calorie goal.
2. Gym for a less aggressive workout (Check)

Sl1mmy-- we all hit those rough patches when we are just discouraged and frustrated. It will get better. The key is keeping yourself moving through this patch so you'll be ready to get back to normal when it's over. (That's the part I typically fail at so I hope you do better than I do!)
Good luck and we are here for you!

2. hopefully get the laundry all done and put away. (we have had an unexpected houseguest the few days so I have only been washing, and drying.... no putting away.
3. get the berries, watermelons, cantalopes, cucumbers and corn ready for the freezer.
I had to go back to the docs today for my staph cause it wasn't getting better. They cut it open to drain it and see how far the infection had gotten and they were not impressed with what they saw. So I have to go back everyday for them to repack my wound and check it. I HOPE THIS DOESN'T MESS UP MY RUNNING SCHEDULE! To close to race day to mess with my schedule!!!0 -
Mommawarrior - Sorry about your infection. Hope it improves soon.
sl1mmy - You are strong. You can get through it. There is no race to get it all done. Most importantly take care of yourself!July 13

5. Get to bed by 9:30.--Yes but noisy neighbors again! (Loud truck, to be exact!)
Why are some people so inconsiderate? If I ever figure out where they live they will hear about it!
Yesterday wasn't the best, food-wise, but it certainly wasn't the worst, either!
sl1mmy--Hang in there! Know you can do this! It can take a week or so for laryngitis to go away. If it lasts for more than 2 weeks you should see your doctor. What kind of buttocks wounds do you have? They may also need to be checked. If, like some of us, you don't have insurabce, see if there's a low-cost or sliding scale clinic near you. They actually do a really good job!
Momma--I sure hope the infection goes away soon. Those things can be so hard to get rid of!
Have to go. Thinking of EVERYONE here! Have a good day!

Not a bad day !
Still no voice and a bad cought. Hard to sleep with it. Butt still not ok.
Maybe I'll try a little rower, 1000 or 2000 meters.
pmjsmom - Thanks for caring. I'm in Québec and we have free healthcare. The only problem is having to wait. Not much clinics in my surrounding. But I think I'm gonna get thru that by myself. Maybe mext week if I'm still not ok. I prefer not to get antibiotics cause last time I had some, I got c.difficile. Lot more trouble than a bad cold. So I'll try to avoid it. Take care !
toadiejones - Thanks for caring. I hope to get better soon but I hang on.
PSUgrl921 - Thanks for the encouragement.
My today's goals
1: drink 1.5 litres
2: leslie samsone walk half hour
3: stay under calories
4: half hour in the kitchen
5: off computer 2 hours this afternoon ( too late for this morning ! )
6: rower 1000 or 2000 m ( if my butt permit)
7: Give myself credit 3 times
Have a nice day everyone !

MAJOR SETBACK TODAY. Yesterday I had to go to the doctor cause my staph infection was only getting worse. They cut it open and dug out some infection but they cut very deep and now they have to pack it everyday. Today I was told I couldn't run until it was completely healed....and that I will probably not be able to do the half marathon in August! I COULD CRY! They did say I could bike as much as I wanted and that if I could bike long and hard daily, that I could MAYBE keep my cardio up enough to be able to attempt the race, but that they doubted it would be healed in time to run much before it. UGH0
-
Hey Mommawarrior..... Just concentrate on healing, forget the race!!! You Take Care :flowerforyou:0

I Love this group thread, But I don't seem to create time to be a part of it. :indifferent:
Between Work, morning exercising & cooking meals & replying to two other challenge groups It isn't possible to enjoy it.
September 1st I should be back since I have a challenge ending than.
So until then take care everyone, I'll be peeping in to check on you all But just not setting daily goals
