I am sorry that I have been MIA right now. I have alot of things going on in my life right now. My platelets are up and my stomach is hurting really bad so I haven't been doing much on here. I am sorry for that. I am lactose intolerance right now and my other results haven't come back yet so I don't know yet.
August 17th: All I got done yesterday was walking as I wasn't feeling well.
August 18th: Step ups and weights 10mins almost 11 (34 calories)
You need to look after you-- please don't have any guilt about not being on here. You're having a hard time now, and we're here for ya! ( and I just realized that I made my other comment to you to Carissa instead!! Nuts!) It's all a process, and taking a few days for you is more important. Good for you for getting in some stuff today!
**I agree with Elaine! You need to take care of yourself first and foremost. We will be here whenever you need us!0 -
Well I am off for the weekend! I need my 2 days off a week. Whew! I hope to kill it in the gym next week also. See you girls on Monday!!0

Emotional Challenge:
What excuses have you made (to yourself or others) in the past for your weight, and how do you stop yourself from falling back into the "I am heavy because...." attitude?
My biggest excuse lately was my pregnancy. I was losing weight before becoming pregnant and then stopped working out when I found out, (My hr goes pretty high when working out, and still does, and I was being extra cautious). Now baby is 5 months old, so it's time to get back in the swing of things.0 -

Phew! Managed to make today into a 1000+ burn! Danced with the kids doing Just Dance with the wii, then 30DS, and finished off the day with 70 minutes on my Gazelle. As I have said before, I'm really interested to see how accurate the count is on that thing. I picked somewhere between what the machine said and what I found on another website... but if both are telling me I'm burning 750 cals in 70 mins.. I'll take it! Soo sweaty now though. Bleh.0

I vote for the meatloaf cupcakes! Those sound so cute and yummy! My kid is gonna love these!0

Apple Chicken Quesadilla Recipe
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
4 Flour tortillas (approximately 8-inches wide)
1 cup cooked, shredded or chopped, chicken meat
1/4 lb cheddar or Monterey jack cheese, sliced or grated
1 apple, sliced
1/4 cup salsa
Method
1 Heat a large skillet on medium high heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet. Flip it a couple of times with a spatula, then let it sit in the pan heating up until air pockets form and parts of the tortilla begin to puff up. Flip it again.
2 Place cheese slices on half of the tortilla, at least 1/2-inch from the edge of the tortilla. Add chicken pieces on top of the cheese. Fold the tortilla over like an omelette, and press down on the folded tortilla with the spatula. Lower the heat to medium. At this point, if you have enough room in your skillet, you can add a second tortilla to the pan to begin to heat it up.
3 When the cheese inside the quesadilla has melted, remove the quesadilla to a cutting board. Open it wide and layer on apple slices and salsa. Fold the tortilla back again, and cut it into 3 triangles, as if you were cutting a pie. (You don't have to cut the quesadilla into triangles, it just makes it easier for kids to eat.)
4 Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Yield: Makes 12 quesadilla triangles.
Per Triangle-
105 Cal
9 Carb
5 Fat
7 Protein

Alright ladies, let's see those points!
I'm in for all 9 points this week.
And my vote is for the quesadillas.0 -
Ok, So I've been thinking about this for the last few days... Excuses?? Hmm. I know that for the last few years, I've fallen in to the "I can't find the time" crap, which I know.. is crap. Or, there's the " Life is so busy, I'm just too tired to get it all done" one. With my hubby being away from home as much as he is, people are reallly willing to enable me with that one too, or even stick that one on me without my preference! But, that's only been the last few years.
When I think back to when I was in high school... and nothing comes to mind at first. I was one of the bigger girls in my class, at a weight that.. well, as an adult, can see that it really was fine. There were just some underweight girls in my class as well. It's crazy what a little perspective can give you! Anyway, I think I always let it slide because " I'm not as big as ***"" or " well, I'm funny and a nice girl, so... " . Sure, I was unhappy. Sure, it made me put up protective walls that I didn't really let anyone in to, thus making my time there a pretty solitary experience( in a small town high school, with a grad class of 60 kids). Sure, I know it was my own doing. Didn't make it any easier. And that kind of crap follows you. It's really annoying when even as a 33 year old woman, your own insecurities make it so that you don't talk to someone you went to school with because you're thinking in their head that they're thinking ( don't get lost there!) something about you with reference to livestock. Or assuming that "{that person} doesn't want to talk to me.. they think they're better than me.. why would they lower themselves to do that?" so you're quiet and trying to look strong. Heck, it was only a year ago that my "quiet and shy, but strong" persona could have been taken as a "she thinks she's better than us" theory. Ack!
Geez, I think too much about what other people think.
Oh. wait. I seem to have gotten a little off track. Well, it's all healing, right?
Anyway, after high school, I even used the excuse of putting others before myself. Not their needs, no.. their worth. Again, being one of the bigger ones in my circle of friends.. I even would stop getting healthy because "then ---- would be the "fat one'. I can't do that to them.." Not to worry about my own self worth.. *sigh*.
So what keeps me out? my own new found ability to kick my own *kitten*. I have always pictured myself in the future being a healthy active mom.. she's been waiting a while to get out of there! And, I'm seeing glimpses of her now! And I know that if I REALLY want it, I just have to make it that priority.0 -
Ok! So I've got my 9!!
I'm goin' for the spaghetti pasta. You know.. I don't think our voting plan is working very well!! Lol.. ( and no, I'm not just being a smarty pants.. )
Oops, I mean pizza spaghetti. 0 -

Emotional Challenge:
What excuses have you made (to yourself or others) in the past for your weight, and how do you stop yourself from falling back into the "I am heavy because...." attitude?
**Well I used to make excuses from just having my baby. I’d say things like, “Well this baby done put all this weight on me!” or “Christian why did you make momma so fat”. It was never my fault. I always blamed someone else. Now I see it soooooo different. I have a get to it attitude and I am not stopping until this job is done! I will be 164 lbs again and then 145lbs. I HAVE to get this done for me and no one else!
******Yesterday was BAD! Didnt do nothing but cleaned. I had it all planned out to work out but then my mom got sick and I was just plain tired! I'm better today and am gonna hit the gym! Sorry! Welcome Sunshine!!!!
***Also I lost only 1/2 a pound. Ugh! THAT depressed me! Oh well, I'm moving on.......0 -

Alright sunshine! You're our tie breaker. Spaghetti pizza, chicken and apple quesadilla or meatloaf cupcake s with mashed potato icing.
Welcome to team yellow! Let's make sure we all have each other as mfp friends.0 -
OK my vote goes to the meatloaf cupacake w/ mashed potato icing. My kids would devour that!! :+)
Here's my Emotional Challenge:
What excuses have you made (to yourself or others) in the past for your weight, and how do you stop yourself from falling back into the "I am heavy because...." attitude?
In the past I always made the excuse of being big since I was a kid, having an obvious slow metabolism (which was true) and then after I had kids it was the excuse of not having time to exercise. And now I know while I do have obstacles to overcome, I am NOT a victim of my circumstance. I have the power and ability to change them and will never turn back! It is so exciting to see such a drastic change in my life and my husband's life! He has lost 83 pounds since the beginning of the year and I have lost 32 lbs since mid May.
Here's my weigh-in
Highest Weight: 263
Beginning Weight: 250
MFP SW: 243
SAHMU SW: 226
This week: 218
No change from last week (its my TOM right now)
Points: 8points total0 -
