July 7
1. Do Day 6 of 30 DS - Nope. I do it in our basement playroom because it has foam mats. Yesterday I starting cleaning the floor, picked up some mats to find this nasty yellow/brown liquid under the entire floor. *gag* Turns out that a drain in a window well was plugged and this sludgy water has been seeping through the water frame. So had to spend all evening fixing the drain, cleaning up the mess, disinfecting the floor, etc. Ugh.
2. Do run or elliptical - Yes. Last day of c25k
3. Drink 2L of water - Nope
4. Log and stay under calorie - Yes
5. Pay bills - Nope
6. Take care of kitty stuff - Yes.
7. In bed before 10:00 - Nope...was still scrubbing floor.

Saturday July 9th
No Stretch / No trampoline
No walk either, It poured raining here this morning moment's before I was headed out the door. It's nice now at 9:30 am But the streets are flooded. I'm planning on going to see a movie with my dear Mom.
I'm so excited! I'm finally seeing the scale go down, Its about time. I've been stuck on 146 to 148 & 145 for so long, I was getting a little concerned. The only thing thats working for me is walking 5 miles every day & eating close to 1300 calories. I think all I need to lose now is 5 more pounds & Then I need to concentrate on maintaining that for LIFE!!
My goals for the rest of the day:
1) Stay under calorie allowance 1350
2) Enjoy life
3) walk tonight
4) water
5) Veggies
Sounds like alot of you are doing GREAT:
Toad...... Kickball ! OOoooooo I want to play.. Thats so fun! I haven't played since high school 9th grade :bigsmile:
Frub....... I love when I go off my scheldule & I still have No guilt !! :blushing: wine & pasta sounds romantic :laugh:
Momma.... Enjoy your company, Hopefully they don't over stay there welcome
Ally..... Awesome ! Sounds like your on the right track :drinker:
1mmy..... Did you get in that river or sit on the rocks? Hope you had fun!
Leela where are you? :flowerforyou:

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:

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!
