    Good Wednesday to you! Usually I love Wednesdays.....but this is the last weekend before school starts. :sad: Better put on my big girl panties (Lord knows I have them!) and get over it.

    No Jessa, I did not get any pants. It was 110 degrees yesterday and I decided to not drag 3 kids shopping. I looked online at Catherine's. For some reason, they did not have and 3x petite pants listed. I like the perfect price knit ones. I need to make a Costco run this weekend so I may wait to go to the store then. I have looked at Romans a few times. I have never ordered. I laugh at their models, too. Good luck with the open house.

    Have you tried the Hungry Girl website? I have a couple of cookbooks. There is also a tv show. I like it because is only make a couple of servings (enough for the non picky eaters or enough for me to have leftovers). I get a daily email with a recipe, calorie swap, etc....

    Brandy, I have already been thinking about the inservice lunches, breakfasts and summer birthday celebration. I think I will skip a few and come home and have lunch with my kids. I do love the fellowship with the people I have not seen in three months. Hope your reflux is better. What kind of purse?

If u want u can think about the ideas i gave and we can start on sat as our new week let me know I started this group for motivation and to set a group goals so the people that couldnt get into groups could have one so i dont know what happened its like everyone has fallen away from the goal Everyone take care and i will check back later to see if anyone has left any ideas on how to go on Good Luck in ur goals and life :ohwell: :yawn: :sad:

    I like the new exercise schedule. I think it will work good. I have been getting some off of other groups but since we are going to have them I won't have to do that anymore. I was wonder too...where did all the people go? I'm not a hard core posted but I do like to check in occasially. I had my grandson this past weekend and lost and 2 lbs. Big difference if caring for a 3 month old infant when your in your 20's than when you are 50. lol. Wore me out. I like our group. I'm ready to carry on this journey with everyone here that is participating.

    I like the schedule but I don't know what all those exercises are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, I have to add!!! Argh...I'm sooooo not good with numbers!!! But, I will try!!!! msstillion, thanks for planning this for us. I don't get here everyday to post but I'm behind us all the way!!

    Jana, have you ordered online with Woman Within. It's like a sister to Roamans.....but the prices aren't as high and the clothes are more...well.....not as fancy.....more practical, maybe. I usually order from Woman Within and not Roamans. They have some of the same identical items but Romans is more expensive. I hate having to order online but that is all I've been able to do for several years. I'm soo looking forward to being able to go into Walmart or Sears and buy something that fits!!!

    I'm a school teacher too and have one more week off. I started this during the summer so am a little anxious about how I'm going to transition into work. I will have to plan lunches more and take to work but being around food and people more might be a challenge...and, then again, it might now. We shall see......

    Good luck to everyone and hope you all have a great Thursday!!

    Reflux is better. I've really been fighting a cold and I think it's just not helping the issue. I am ussally not stressed for school but this year I'm on a new team and a new grade level....been teaching 4th for 8 years! And to top it off our school has been remodeled....great! I know! But I've been told we only have this WEEKEND to move back into rooms that are not complete yet. I dispise working weekends. Annnnndddddd my daughter is going to kinder this year....in a different district than I am in! It's all good....it's life and if this is the most I have to deal with then I'm pretty damn lucky.

    On a fitness note...I was under my caleries today.....barely. I didn't get all of my water :( and i got stuck on cokes again when I was on vacation....trying to wean off of them again! I figured I gained back everything I lost but in reality I only gained a pound.!.!.! I'm motivated again and ready to start the new daily goals!

    Ps....the purse was a relic but I'm not really into brand names so I don't know if it's good or not. I just know it still cost way more than I ussually spend even though it was on clearance (at koles). I do most of my shopping (which I hate!) at avenue. I really really do not like romeans (I know I spelled this wrong).

    brandymk sounds like you have a lot of changes this year. My youngest went to kindergarten last year. This year she will be on my hall. I am not sure that is going to be a good thing. What grade are you teaching? Hope your move in goes well. I am going to school this weekend. I have a new principal. Hope that goes well. I have a team leader meeting tomorrow with her. I am a little nervous.

    One pound gain over a vacation sounds pretty good to me. You must have done good with your portion control.

    I love Kohls. I cannot fit in their plus size clothes the (shirts are way too short), but I buy everything else there. My husband just laughs at me when I tell him much I save. Few things make me as happy as pulling of the circular sticker and finding an extra 30% off sticker.

    Hi everyone, totally insane day yesterday. Had my weekly weigh in up at the hospital, I'm down another 2lbs which is encouraging. Of course got home just in time to switch vehicles and go to open house, got home from that just in time to toss the baby in his crib to nap and sit down with the husband for video game time. Made the kids dinner in between raids and we cooked a healthy meal for us afterwards. Managed to get all 3 kids in their rooms by 8:30 and finally got a chance to sit down and work on my quilt.

    majikwon1961 - I know you'd think that all the folks who were so enthused would at least make it past week 1, have a feeling there are a few who read but don't post. LoL did the baby at least let you get some sleep?

    I got my 9 serving of water in today. I have really struggled with getting my water intake in. I've had a hard time getting my water drank. I drink a pot of coffee every morning I wish that count. I walked my dogs this morning seperatly for about 35 to 40 minutes.. They are big dogs and they can be hard to handle at times. Did some situp and things like that for about 20 minutes. I want to get more time in than that. Have a good one.

    Down 6 lbs today! Im limited with what I can do, in regards to wall pushups and pushups, etc because of my shoulder surgeries and all but I do my own door exercises that are appropriate for me! :)

    A little nervous that my MFP caloric intake suggestion has dropped from 1390 to 1320 even though in the last 3 weeks i've only eaten over that amount (1320) 2 or 3 times. just more pressure! shew! I can do this... I can do this!!! I can walk this week, lol... last week Jillian Michael's kicked my butt... luckily she wasn't here in real life because I think i'da had to kill her. I turned her off for a week (lol) after day 2 of 20 mins of her in a row I couldn't barely get on and off the potty! LOL Thank goodness for a bike and elliptical! :)

    My report:

    Thursday:
    under carbs ----Check!
    reverse crunches----did some reverse crunches (10 I guess)
    9 glass water---- Check!
    25+ minutes of cardio---- Check!(way over it)

    Friday:
    under sodium ---- Did not make it :( It is the toughest part to control in my diet.
    wall squats 50---- Don't have energy for the given exercise :(
    9 glass water---- Check!
    25+ minutes of cardio---- Check!(way over it)

    I am trying to maintain 60 minutes of cardio exercise for another challenge (plus I enjoy Zumba ;) ) and that is why I am struggling with the given exercises :/ Will do squats perhaps in the morning (probably will be Fri night for most of you guys)

    Happy Friday! This year is flying by. We finally got rain yesterday. It was wonderful. Finally broke the 40 days in a row of 100 plus weather. I can see fall on the horizon. I look forward to waking outside, again.

    I was bad and had Dr. Pepper today. I ordered it again without thinking. Instead of sending it back, I drank it....just one...but I should have sent it back. I counted it. Why are they so good????? Diet Dr. Pepper is not the same.

    I am staying under my calories, I did the wall push-ups. The last few were hard. The reverse crunches looked as bad as the regular crunches. My kids thought it was funny. I will attempt wall squats later....in the dark.

    I tried to do Wii Fit and Just Dance today. My kids do not get that I am trying to exercise. I tried to do "Just Sweat" on the Just Dance, but it only had one player. Trying to keep my heart rate up doing Wii Fit while taking turns is not good, either. Guess I will have to do it after they go to bed.

    How is everyone counting the wall push-up, crunches and squats? I have no idea how many calories?

    Have a blessed weekend.

    Crazynay96 you are doing great. You are going to have so much fun at Disney World skinny.
