Over 200 New Year New Me Part 52

RedneckWmn

What a morning this has been!! Finally we get some cooler air in Texas!! I wake up to make myself breakfast..was going to make a breakfast sammich...I got almost finished and there was no bread. I don't really like plain eggs so I left it for my Mom. Was driving to work and the low tire pressure light on my car comes on. 3 gas stations later I finally find one that works!! Finally got my tires aired up thanks to the cooler weather and traffic is at a dead stop and I'm starving. What did I do? Stop for donuts! UGH!! But I brought my lunch and I'm going to cycling class tonight.


How was everybody's holiday weekend?

Momma-I use splenda or truvia as well. Both are pretty good. When I bake I use splenda since you can buy it in the bags.

Julie-You wont have to find a new group! I'm still here too and ready to get this weight off again!!

I'm going to set myself weekly goals. I find if I set actual time lines for weight loss I get really frustrated and defeated so I'm going to set exercise goals and such.

Goals for this week
Water! Water! Water!
Tuesday: Cycling Class
Wednesday: Cardio Kickboxing
Thursday: if Kickboxing doesn't kill me too much I'm going to go to club boxing again. If not then I'm going to just do cardio

Thanks momma24 for stalking me and starting the new thread! I was down in the dumps all weekend because I have been slipping back into some bad eating habits, and because all I did all weekend was work on bills and budgets. Which was depressing since we are in the negative every month. I've got to figure out how to spend less money each month without it hurting too badly. We spent double on groceries last month than I had budgeted for. We are eating a lot of fresh foods, so that's good for our health - but harder on the pocketbook. Hmmm. I guess I will have to get better with coupons. The weather was gorgeous over the weekend and that made me even more depressed since I was stuck in the house on the computer most of the time. whine, whine, whine.
Ok ... I'm done. It's a new day, back to school day.... and back on track for me day.

Oh and I'll weigh in on the sugar question ... from my nutrition class - they would say stevia is the best choice, then sugar and splenda (or any other artificial sweetener) is the worst choice. My nutrition class would also say keep doing the cream - it's good for you (in reasonable amounts).

Water check!!!

How much water has everybody had today!?

Momma24

Hey Jess, my water check for today (it is 2pm my time) 60 ounces and Im about to go drink more. I just got done with Leslie and I am worn out. I was only able to do 2 miles. I need to save some energy for Sara we are doing wii fit and riding our bike after dinner.

RedneckWmn

Great job Momma!!

I'm at 48oz at 4:26....I've been soooo busy today I haven't hardly had any time to think about drinking my water!

I love that your going bike riding with your daughter tonight and Wii Fit. A good friend of mine and I were talking the other day about how growing up our parents never really taught us about calories. How you are supposed to eat so many calories or even try to teach us how to be aware of how much we are consuming. I never thought twice about eating 2 sometimes 3 meals a day out. Guess that's how I shot up to 261!

Momma24

Thanks Jess, I don't want her to end up like me.

I am officially up to 84 ounces I drank 24 ounces with my snack. (2:34pm) C'mon now Jess are ya gonna let me drink more water than you?

I feel like I am the only one on here. Thankfully, Jess has popped in on occasion but I look like I am desperate. Where are all my friends? Well, I am on my way back to finish up my goals for the day. I am getting there and I will tell you all about it later.

RedneckWmn

Oh a challenge on water drinking huh!?!? Dang you are way ahead of me already!! I'll see what I can do!!

pursuitOFhappiness11

Momma24

Do I know you or what Jess? I knew if I through a challenge out there you would see what you could do!!!:flowerforyou: Its on though. I don't think I can drink anymore until dinner but lets see. I am going to try for another 32 ounces at dinner time.

Funny....just saw the water challenge...when I finish the bottle in my hand, I will be at 132 oz for the day....SO FAR!!!

You are probably going to kick my butt then. But I will try to catch up. Just did 16 minutes of wii with Sara. I am going to cook dinner and she is going to continue playing after dinner we are going to clean and take a quick bike ride. I am exhausted but it feels good.

Hey everyone!

Welcome to all the new ladies. I guess I'll do a quick recap - my name is Allison and I'm 29. I've lost about 85 pounds since starting losing weight in July of 2010. My focus lately has not been weight loss, but rather on proper nutrition, working out and building muscle, and my running goals. I plan to hit my goal no later than June 2012 when my family heads to Russia for 2 weeks for my parents' wedding anniversary and I'm already saving for both that and my goal weight wardrobe!


I was home this weekend which was nice - after so long of no power it was just nice to have my mother cook proper food. Since this week is so crazy work-wise I went to Fresh Market to pick up a whole roasted chicken that I will use throughout the week so I have something healthy. My trainer kicked my behind today and I'm running my first 5K since last November on Saturday.

I miss everyone. I'm with Julie - I don't want to have to go out and meet new people in another group! I'm too shy.

In other news, are we doing month-long goals again? Cause I really liked that...

Momma24

Hi Allison, glad that you are home. I am game for the 1 month goal. Mine is to meet my daily goals for a month. I think I need to set myself with a goal each day then follow through as I did today.

Momma! Look at you go! AWESOME JOB!

LA_proud - omg you must be swimming with all that water - way to go! :drinker:

Checking in for today:

Calories - under by about 500 but as I was over all weekend I don't think this will hurt me any!
Water - still under but I have about 20 oz. beside me now
Exercise - Uhm... I spent the day in bad so that would be zero.

Proud - I didn't let the fact that I was sick in bed be an excuse to snack all day! AND I'm proud I took a day off to get better rather than rushing back into work and then being sick all week.

Hello gals and new gals too!!

Here is a recap for me

I started out at 318 pounds, got down to 240 then in the process of building a new house and not paying attention and eating way to much and not working out i am back up to the 270's. I have been stuck here for months.

But i am determined to get out of them for good and back to where i was pluse more !!!

My goal before the end of the year is to be back under 250.

Today was soo so for me.
Cals - under
water - bad bad bad
exercise - I attempted to workout, burned like 300, usally do like 450 at lunch so to me not very good
proud - that even i was not feeling it i did to something at the gym .

I have come up with a workout plant...this week with the holiday got a littl screwed up but going to try to stick to it as much as i can
Monday - c25k 30 min + 20-25 min arc trainer
tuesday - 50-55 min arc trainer
wednesday - 50-55 min arc trainer
Thursday - c25k 30 min +20-25 min arc trainer
Friday - 50-55 min arc trainer
Saturday - 32 min eliptical + 30 min c25k + 30 min weights
Sunday - Free day, not going to the gym but some type of activity with the family
During the week tues- thurs try to do weights at least 1x, so a total of weights 2x a week

I started this past weekened soo strong, saturday was awsome,sunday and monday sucked...Oh well nothing but to move on.

September will be my month to get out of the 270's for good.

I have this weirhd releationship with the 270's It seems in the past if loose weight i bounce back up to the 270's (minus when i juped up to 318 :sad:). i spent a good part of my 20's and thirtys hovering around 270's.

But this is it, i am going to kick them to the curb for the very last time !!

Awesome job, Momma!! Way to go, Jess! Hi Allison & Melinda!

I'm pooped & babied out today. We're taking a day trip to the coast tomorrow so I need to get to packing the diaper bag and preparing myself for 5 hours in a car with a 7 week old. :happy:

Yesterday's check-in:

Calories - under (too far under, honestly)
Water - 80 ounces
Sodium - under
Exercise - 70 minutes of personal training. Can barely walk this morning!
Proud - I hit new levels of awesome in my workout today. Lifting heavier weights, powering through my inner monologue of "just stop now, you've done enough of them already".


Today and tomorrow are work-crazy. Not looking forward to it.
