SAHMU Regroup (Closed Group)

SunshineKB

Awesome, I'm glad y'all like it! I will resize it so it can be used as a signature type thing on here and link it for you ladies! I'm excited to keep this thing going. It's definitely helping. I also can't wait to find out the final number of pounds lost with the SAHMU challenge!!!

Hey guys,
Hope this week is finding us all doing well-- taking some mental time to reboot can be a huge relief! I know I've moved some calorie things around for me ( after doing a bit of Jillian Michaels reading, and some math..) and am already starting to feel better than I was. I'm hoping to get out for a walk with the kids with the trailer later too-- it's been getting a little chilly lately, and the wind has been downright brutal. Of course, it goes down.. at bedtime!!:grumble: One of the benefits of living out in the country on the prairies-- the wind has a whole field to go over and pick up on before it gets to you!! At least I know I've got resistance.. :laugh:
Other than that.. not too much here. I'm HOPING to have a quiet weekend with my hubby home, but that never seems to happen any other time.. and we're in the throws of potty training-- after working on it mostly successfully for a while, Emma is FINALLY getting the "come tell me" part down instead of me just taking her. Whooooooo!!!

Ahh, the little successes..

You can send some of that cooler weather down here, it's still in the low 90's here. We have passes to Busch Gardens, but haven't used them since early June because of the heat. Honestly, don't expect any nice weather for atleast a month or so.

Awesome pics! You look amazing!!! Good job!

bella_babe_86

Kinda enjoying not having to work out SO much to meet a goal that I made! But Im still working out hard and enjoying every minute of it. Took a walk with my little man today since its quite a bit cooler then it has been. I did not work out yesterday because I was recovering from a migraine, checked the scales today and didnt have a relapse...I actually lost a little bit more! Maybe that means my body is finally adjusting and not wanting to immediately rebound! Hope y'all are enjoying your week!

Getting excited about starting this challenge! Love the siggy pic and the idea of the phoenix.

I just posted a long comment, but our laptop decided to delete it.

Anyways, I just wanted to say Hi and sorry for not logging in/commenting more. I do a lot of my logging from my iPhone, which I can't access the forums on. But sometimes it's just too much of a pain to log onto the computer because then my boys suddenly seem to need something, LOL. Anyways, I will get better about it during the challenge, though.

Does anyone know, does the challenge start tomorrow or on Wednesday? I just wanted to make sure that I don't miss anything.

daisyelaine

I *think* wednesday, -- that way our weigh in day is the same as before, and we're using the full week this week to get our heads on straight..

Hi ladies,
Sorry for my absence, it has been a hectic week, I am really glad it was our "rest" week. Tomorrow I will be on and I will try to get some things organized for the group to start Wednesday.
My sister is going through a seperation and stayed with me for a few days so I became her counsler and babysitter..that took a toll on my focus for sure and then my sisters and I went on our trip to Colorado Springs and we ate out every meal so that was a tough one too but I am ready to get back on track even though I believe I have gained this week but I know in this process this will happen sometimes, I am just going to pick myself up and dust myself off and give it another go.

Talk to you all tomorrow,
Karie

I'm on day two of a 7 day clease. So far I feel no difference but I hope to see/feel some good results. The hardest part so far has been eating mor than I normally would. When I spoke to my doc and told her my plan she told me to make sure I am up calorie intake so that I don't make my self sick (and the instructions in the cleanse were very specific on this point as well). So I'm adjusting my calorie intake goal for the week to higher than usual but I'm making sure that the choices I make are healthy ones... hence the oatmeal for breakfast. Seriously, one of my least faveoritte things in the world. For one week tho, I can force it down.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I spent it with family and friends and reading the first 2 books of the Hunger Games trilogy. So good! I hated to put them down I only have like 25 pages to go on the 2nd book but I left it at home otherwise I knew I'd be too distracted to work. lol!

Happy Monday everyone!

daisyelaine

Good morning all.. Hope you all are feeling better than I am today. Stayed up in to the wee hours of the morning having a very frank discussion with my hubby-- are dealing with some serious marital issues, ( I discovered last night he was having facebook sex with one of his old high school female contacts)which is only ONE of the issues. And, I've heard his side of it so many times that I can practically recite it. I just.. I'm at a loss. We are working to make this better, and he has promised that he's going to get some therapy ( which he has NEVER done before..) so I'm going to see how it all plays out anyway. Top it all off with the fact that he's off again today for the next 11 days ( he's working 3 provinces away) and is only home every other weekend , and it's pretty easy to see how things that need to get resolved and dealt with get pushed off and ignored for another 2 weeks... Ugh.
BUT-- while he's gone, I can make myself the best and strongest person I can be. Things get back in to routine, and I too can put off having that in the front of my brain ALL the time. The plan is to go for a nice long walk today, and not let myself get sucked down by this more than I already am. I can't do anything about it, and I'm not going to give it more power than the situation already has.
I'm just.. yeah. I'm thankful for all of the support of all of you.. it means more than you know.

Happy Monday, love! I'm curious about this Hunger Games trilogy.. although, not that I have time .. or can stay awake once I sit down to read what I'm already on!! Lol..
Hoping the cleanse does good things for you-- I have the same opinion of some of the people that posted to your forum topic about them, but if you feel it works for you, than all the power to ya. Either way, learning to eat things like oatmeal is good for you!! Lol..

Don't apologize-- you had huge stuff going on!! And part of a lifestyle change is that you deal with ups and downs-- it's not always going to be perfect, especially in situations that you can't really control. The important thing is that you're continuing on!!

I am so sorry you are going through this. Having maritial issues makes it hard to focus on yourself, i can relate. My Husband is a binge drinker and we are now looking into support groups and possible rehab for him. Life is hard sometimes but it seems you are still staying focused on yourself and becoming the best you and that is amazing!
Your Husband works away and you only see him on the weekends? That must be tuff. you are pretty much a single mom then? You are one strong lady and you deserve good things. Whatever choice you make in the situation, I hope you get through this and stay focused. Getting to know you through here I can tell you are one determined lady so I am sure you will.
I hope you have a better day,

Yeah, I am a little skeptical of the cleanse myself but I'm doing it mainly to help regulate some BM issues I've been having. If I lose any weight than that is an added bonus but it's more about putting myself on a better track for digestive health. If nothing else it forces me to eat more fibre and then I can continue on with that when I'm done.

I highly reccomend the Hunger Games. A few of my friends have been bugging me to read them for awhile but finally one of my girlfriends literally put them in my hands and said "read this!". So good! I'm a big reader and try to make time for it as often as possible. Of course, my son saw me reading so he kept bringing over his book (Hop on Pop) and saying "Op Op?" so sweetly. So it was a book heavy weekend in our house. Makes me so happy to see my boy (14 months old) already into books!

I'm sorry to hear about the tough times you are facing. I can't even imagine what you must be feeling. Please know that we are all here for you and if you ever need to vent or anything, this is a safe place with loving and sympathetic shoulders to lean on :flowerforyou:

Im so sorry to hear that you are going through all of this! It really makes it hard to focus on what you are trying to do when there are so many outside factors making it hard to focus! Dont get too down though, everything will work itself out, life has a way of sometimes taking its own roads even if we arent aware that thats the way things are going, but in the end it turns out just fine. You will get through this!

OK so I havent been "checking in" like a good girl at all! I kinda fell of the wagon this weekend as far as working out but I really didnt over eat or eat bad stuff even yesterday on my birthday! Peaked at my weight today just to see how much work was ahead of me and...I lost another 2.6 lbs! I am officially out of those stubborn 240's! Im officialy the smallest I have been since I lost all the weight after having my son, that was almost 3 years ago! A few people asked me yesterday if I was feeling old...(because turning 25 seems so ominous right?) and I told them NO because A. 25 is NOT old and B. I feel better now then I have in the last 5 years, im healthy im working out and im losing weight, and on top of all that im actually pretty happy with who I am right now. I really cant wait for the new challenge to start Im so excited!!!

Hello everyone!
This last week without the challenge has not been bad, but not great either. I haven't been exercising as much as I should have, but I think my body needed that rest. I am back at it today though! I have been stuck in the 270s for ever it feels like, the last three days I have gotten on the scale and it has said 270.4... UGH!!! But this morning I got on and I am finally out of the 270s at 268.6! I was so excited!!! Hope everyone is doing well. Can't wait for Wednesday to get back into a new challenge.

I have a lot of opinions on "cleansing" however I don't want to bore you here (plus I should be running out the door); check out: http://28daystohealth.com/ I have done this program & it is based on solid nutrition & science; they have classes all over northern california but you can also do the classes virtually/ online; check it out & let me know what you think!

I hope that both you AND your husband seek therapy, separately and together. I think that it is very important given where you are right now in your marriage; I know what a struggle it can be to repair trust/ work on a relationship (going through it myself). I wish you tons of positive light & energy; if you ever need anyone to vent to, just send me a message! (I've got strong shoulders)
