Didnt do a whole lot today, just some playing outside with my little guy and some steps. Also got my arm exercises in this morning. Yesterday was a severe diet flub for me, went to a party to watch some football games and celebrate college football season starting and ate pizza, and a little more then I should have! Feeling pretty gross today, pizza is my biggest weakness! Stayed on things today so far. Hopefully this doesnt throw me off too badly!0

Thanks everyone for the kinda words on my photo! Isn't it funny how we always see something in the mirrir that others don't see. I still see a tummy and jiggly thighs, even though I know how far I've come. Thanks again for all the support!
Isn't that how it always is? I'm the same way about myself! You do look fabulous by the way!

I get the trigger foods; for me it's peanut butter (can't have the stuff in the house in jar form, only single serving packets for the kids' sandwiches)... I think just being aware is an NSV and a first step to control; And I think that you did do a lot today- perhaps not a mega-cal burn but you did accomplish a lot (play, arm exercise, honesty, logging in to MFP)... way to go!0 -
Sunday Check-in!
I got in the calcium today with the help of a multi-vitamin!
I did not do the strength or stairs today.
It was a busy day today with tiling the floor. I had a hard time calculating all that I did with the tiling project but I think I got it as close as possible. Tomorrow I really need to push it on the cals burned to make up for 2 days of no exercise! O.o
Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday weekend!
Tiling, huh? I want to see the finished project! Way to go on getting the calcium in; I'm finding that tough... Hope you are having a great weekend too!0 -

I am failing SOOO badly at keeping my calcium up! Even with a supplement!0
-
Happy Labor Day! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I can't wait to get back to routine tomorrow!
Today I did my arms and stairs!
I did NOT make the calcium today.
I did enter in my cals burned on the sheet. Sadly I am not gonna make my goal. Those 2 days early on really messed me up. *sigh*
Those two defeats aside ... I did loose a pound this week! Yeah! 0 -
Had a busy day. We went down to the Fort Worth stock yards and walked around for a few hours, it was a beautiful day and really mild temperatures so we took advantage of it! Lunch was not so victorious today buc McDonalds was the closest thing on our way home and that dollar menu was just so appealing. But since I stayed healthy for the rest of the day and walked so much I dont feel so guilty! I mean I could have had a big double quarter pounder with cheese and french fries and a coke instead of water! Baby steps! Hope everyone had a good Labor day!!!0

Disappointing, yes but think of it this way... you did something! You are headed in a healthy direction; maybe not worth a point but definitely worth a "way to go!" (an NSV in my book) 0 -

I hope the migraine went away! I haven't been feeling to well either. I hope we both shake it soon and feel better.
I too hope everyone is doing great and had a wonderful and safe holiday weekend! On that note, I'm crashing now.0 -
Hope you ladies are feeling better today, I got a late start on my workout but got in 700 calories including 30 minutes of steps! Its so nice outside I think I may go for a run later today. I noticed today that my normal workouts arent leaving me out of breath anymore, usually I have to take a break during the steps and walking but today I just flew through it and felt good the whole time! Its pretty amazing feeling a difference in myself in more ways then just inches and pounds!0

Ok heres my pts total for this week.
Calium-0pts I just couldnt get it up there where it needed to be
Strength-3 pts
Cardio-(stairs)3 pts
Calorie-1pt
Emotional challenge-1pt
Commitment challenge-1pt
9 pts total
no loss for me this week still sitting at 244.9, sad and a little frustrated but I know that working hard with no loss and no gain is better then doing nothing and gaining it all back! This is my 3rd week in a row without a loss, I know that this happens and eventually I'll get over this hump and have a bigger loss, hopefully this week will be that week!0 -

No change again here too!! It's so frustrating!! You work so hard and nothing!!! (beats head against wall)
Have you taken measurements? If not maybe you should. For the last two months I haven't seem as much change as I would have liked, but when I checked my measurements again there was a big change!
I'll bet your body is changing and it's just not showing up on the scale yet!!!
Keep up the hard work, that damn scale is gonna have to go down soon!!!0 -

I have not measured yet today, I havent measured in weeks actually. Really need to do that, the main reason im not so down on myself is because I have had some changes, like I started out in size 22's and can now get into most 20's and some 18's and be very comfortable so thats pretty big for me. Not seeing the actual pounds drop is extremely frustrating but atleast we're not alone! BTW you look amazing and you are doing an awesome job! Even if the scale doesnt want to agree with us!0 -

I love your goal, Yoga is such an awesome workout it pushes your body but the deep breathing really helps calm you down and stretch your muscles! I do it every day and when I miss a day I feel tight and sore!0
