    Hey guys! I was just on my computer and wanted to check in with everyone mid-week to see how you are all doing!

    It's not often that I'm on my computer other than the weekend, so I do apologize for not posting more often. But I like to keep busy and keep myself from plunking down in front of the computer or television. Been out every evening this week - aquacise Sunday night, basketball game with friends and family Monday night, movie with a friend last night, and aquacise again tonight.

    The movie we saw last night was Footloose. Anybody else seen it? Made me want to get up and dance. Would love to learn once I become more fit and slim!

    Anyway, I hope everyone's having a great week! Hang in there, WE GOT THIS! And I'll catch up with you all on the weekend.

    :heart:

    Long day yesterday but I got my workout in.:bigsmile: Dropped off truck for repairs, worked, picked up daughter to shop for costumes, picked up son, worked out, picked up rental car, mine wasn't done:angry: , drop daughter back off, ate a horrible chinese takeout dinner ( lost my taste for it, way too salty...ICK ! :grumble: ) went to bed. Today is more of the same with an additional 3 hour meeting after work .

    I'm looking forward to coming home , hitting the gym and eating some meatloaf that I've already prepped and put in the fridge. :bigsmile: whew...

    Tanny...I haven't seen it yet, but I remember loving the original...ahh Kevin Bacon back in the 80's LOL...:laugh:

    Anyone doing something fun for Halloween this weekend ?? I have a great party to go to tomorrow. My girlfriend is way over the top when it comes to this holiday. She already won out towns best decorated house for it. The food is amazing and I'm planning on hitting my Insanity class before it to make sure I don't over indulge and pay for it.

    Have a great day !! One more day till Friday !!

    Leila - yes I remember the original Footloose, but only vaguely (memory's getting so bad in my old age - lol!) Now I want to see it again to refresh my memory (and of course, compare the two.) In this new one, Willard was my favourite character - he was just hilarious! And the kind of music that just makes you want to move is my favourite kind, so of course, I loved the music, too!

    Sherrill glad to see you got things moving in the right direction.
    Beth, congrats on getting out of the 200’s!
    Kristel, loved you midweek check in and it inspires me to get going. I want my life back. This morning I finally went to Aquafit since I am getting a break from caring for my mother this weekend. My favorite teacher wasn’t there and it really wasn’t the same but after a week without real exercise I’ll take it. It has been a while since I did Zumba and my husband and I want to take more dance lessons. It is great exercise and fun. Good for you in staying so active.
    babygrl, you are so close to onderland you must be excited. Can’t wait for next week. You are doing so well.
    Leila, wow what a busy life! That is when I lose the best – when I am busy and active. Hope you have a great party.
    The plan is for my Mom to move into a retirement community this Tuesday where she can get more care. So I will be through with Halloween and taking as much time out to care for my mother early next week. I still think my week will be off. However I do not think I will be staying over anymore. She is doing much better. I haven’t gained at least but I have been having a hard time checking the scales lately.

    I just got back from my artist's retreat. Up a bit on weight, but wasn't tracking calories, drinking enough water or exercising. Back to the grind this week.

    This will be quick because I have to go get ready for aquacise, but I have a lot to do this evening after class, so I better check in now, or it will be next weekend before I get a chance again.

    I lost 1.1lbs this week, which I am quite happy with. I wanted to lose 1.6 to get to 56 (my ticker shows that anyway - it cheats, lol) but I'm at 55.5 and I have already reached my goal for Christmas (I'm at 264.3), so now I'm gonna shoot for somewhere between 250-255ish and see if I can do it!

    I don't think I will get 120km walked in October. I'm close - 112.95 as of yesterday - but today the weather is very icky and I don't think I can do 7k tomorrow because of Halloween (weekdays I usually do 2k at lunch and close to 4 after supper.) I did lots of treadmill, though because it gets dark so early now. I didn't count any of that towards my mileage as my app uses GPS, so it doesn't track anything on treadmill.

    Epic fail on the sleep thing. Still only getting to bed at midnight or later and sleep by 1AM. What is wrong with me!?! I just try to fit too much into one day, I guess, but I'll try again this week. Gonna continue to bring one veggie and one fruit to work with me each day, also.

    Keri, glad you enjoyed my little check in post. It's kind of a foreign concept to me that I could inspire others, so thanks for saying that you were inspired by me. I want you to know that you inspire me with all the working out that you do. I'm glad that you will soon have more time to devote to your health and fitness.

    Gwen, welcome back - glad you had fun on your retreat. I know you'll get right back at it and be down again in no time!

    Happy Monday ! I disappeared for the weekend.... Friday nights party was a blast. Ate too much crap and didn't post any food all weekend. Saturday I woke up with my sciatica pinched nerve again and spent most of it lying around with ice and ibuprophen. Good grief...how does that happen ?? Did I sleep wrong ? I don't remember doing any fabulous gymnastics after the party ( I wasn't drunk neither :laugh: ) Feeling better today , so planning on my gym class.

    My son dressed up as Justin Timberlake from his SNL skit a few years back. It was hilarious...I know I'm his mother and shouldn't encourage that behavior, but it was funny and he is 21...so naturally it was huge hit at the girls rugby party . If you don't know what that skit is you can see the video on you tube....I'll leave it at that. I put his pic. in my profile if you want to laugh. He's the tall one on the right. My husband and I were a cowboy and Indian.

    So tomorrow is my weigh in, not planning on seeing any result, but I'm sticking to it. I donated 2 huge bags of clothes to Good Will yesterday , so my closet is down to t shirts, workout clothes and my one nice blouse for Fridays outing. Good thing I'm a home body because there is nothing nice to wear. I better start to really focus on my goal . I want new clothes !!

    Sherrill- nice job on the loss. How exciting - you're going to Japan soon !!
    Kristel- sorry you're not sleeping well. I get insomnia every once in a while. It comes in spurts about every 3 weeks. I can't
    figure out why it happens.
    Glad to see girls reaching their goals..

    Have a great day !

    Well, knock me over with a feather! I DID NOT expect that loss. I have started a little bit of elliptical and will move to that instead of walking in the cold weather. I should get a bit of a walk with the kids trick or treating tonight. Still struggling with water and little cheats (a bite here and there). I've got the water thing worked out for now and the sleep is still lacking. I did wear the "sexy" Halloween costume that I would never have dared in the past. I hope, with all your support, to stay on track with the upcoming holiday season - Thanksgiving through Advent and Christmas and New Year's is a killer for me - I love homemade stuffing and then just take a few extra bites here and there and then...poof! Weight id added. What do you all do to avoid this?

    I just haven't been having a stellar week this time. I hope it's not the "holiday season" because it's time for it to come to an end as I get back into my fully focused routine. I think TOM had a lot to do with my attitude and behavior this past week. However, this is a new week, and I am looking forward to a 2 pound loss (more would be gladly accepted).

    Hi all,

    Well after a very stressful couple of weeks, things have imploded.
    * Doc wants to see me in person to discuss blood test results, that means bad news, otherwise he would have just given me a repeat prescription
    * Mom is very very low, still another week before her appointment in the hospital, and like buses she get an appointment to have her feet fixed, and you guessed it it's on the same day as the oncologist, so excuse the pun she is hopping mad as she has been on the waiting list for 19 months, and has to give up her place.
    * Daughter was rejected by both of her preference secondary schools (high school in the US i think) so now we have to find a place somewhere possibly over 50km away from where we live. .
    * i have had insomnia for the last month or so, so i'm not coping well with all this extra personnel life stresses.
    * and to top it all in work we have a major audit next Monday & Tuesday, no pressure but a pass grade must be achieved or our biggest customer will pull their business, and you don't want to be the Quality manager responsible for that.

    Sorry for the moan, but i really need to just let it go, some day soon i promise i will post a good news story.

    no need for replies, i know all your best wishes are with me, as mine are with all you regulars, just knowing that you are all out there, dealing with your own stuff and maybe thinking of me as i do of you is enough .

    here's to the return of happy times.

    Seven weeks till Christmas ?? I better hit that goal. Been pretty stagnant lately on that front. I've been reading my Heavy Weight Lifting for Women and hubby says he'll start with me tonight at the gym. ..... obviously he'll be lifting heavier than me. I'm looking forward to it, I have my workout sheets all printed out and on the clipboard. :bigsmile:

    My first spinning class was successful last night. I decided to try it ...it was the only class available before trick or treating time and I wanted to be home . I just may do it again. A little sore on the butt, but I guess you get used to it :laugh: I certainly sweat a LOT !

    paxetamore- great job hitting your mini goal !!

    That's all I got...have a great night!

    The Rules of Lifting for Women.... I'm still excited about it. It didn't take long to finish the first workout. Less than 30 mins. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Tonight is boot camp, my calf is all crampy feeling. Tight ? sore, not sure how to describe it. I iced it last night , took some pills and it's still the same. I'll decide later if I'll do my class. See how it feels. I had a few fun size snacks last night...M & M's and a mini snickers. yum...

    My spaghetti squash didn't come out like spaghetti...it looked just like any other squash ?! I ate a huge plate of it and it was good. Maybe it was just that particular one. I was really looking forward to the noodle shape of it. :grumble:

    I weighed in and was down half a pound. I logged it because it makes me feel better to see a new number on the scale .
    185.6. Just a tad bit closer to goal. Funny when I look at it, I really don't see the number after the decimal...just focused on the first part. :laugh: anyone else do that ??

    Have a great Wednesday...work starts at 6:45 am today :noway:

    I was asleep at the wheel on Sunday...I didn't post my numbers for 10/31 even though I posted my progress.

    I noticed because I took a weigh in peek this morning. 184 !?! I double checked my logs and I didn't update this forum's correctly. Ok,so maybe I did do better on my retreat than I thought and it was water weight, or the new moon, or who knows what. Stay tuned for Sunday's official weigh in.

    Happy Hump Day everyone! :smile: I'm off to my aquacise class in a few - that's one good thing about Wednesdays for me.

    Oh, and I made my 120km for October - just by the skin of my teeth at the last minute. Official count by my app - 120.16km.

    I won't be setting any mileage goals from November to March due to the unpredictability of the weather. I'll still walk as much as the weather allows - I've already logged 11.64 for November and we're only two days in. So I'm definitely not going to slack off just because I'm not setting any official goals. I'll track it when the weather allows for outside walks. And when it starts to get too cold and stormy, I've got the treadmill for back-up.

    I also have a confession - I did eat a few Halloween treats on Monday night AND Tuesday night both. But I made sure to exercise enough on those days to stay under my calorie limit (though I'm sure I was over on fat and sugar.) :embarassed: Oh, well! Other years I would have eaten much more of them, so I will just stay focused on the positive! I didn't eat a whole box! :laugh:

    Enjoy the rest of the week, all my MFP peeps! :heart:

    Just back home from being out of province for the funeral of my cousin's son. I have been gone since Sunday and I am exhausted - 9 hours of driving today. I will catch up tomorrow and update everyone's progress. Thanks for your patience! :)
