Just a quickie - no time to read so promise will catch up later but:
Dilemma: exercise - should I give myself a tick for exercise even if I do not complete what I hoped for the day - yesterday (and today) planned to do shred but for one reason or another didn't happen - would be easy but yesterday I did run 3miles, garden for a number of hours and cycle; today I have walked about six miles.
Don't know if I am being hard on myself or looking to be too slack?
HEEEEEEELLLLLP xx0 -
Amy - your program looks good.
Lacey - good luck on making a program. I've found putting a schedule on the fridge helps me. It feels good to cross off what I've done and reminds me what I have accomplished and where I need to go.
I'm enjoying my lazy day and thinking maybe I'll do X Stretch or my easy 20 min yoga program. I need to stretch...0 -
Annette - I'd give yourself the check. If you spent an hour doing exercise, it counts even if it wasn't what you planned. Save the DVD for rainy days and enjoy the good weather while you can.0
-
Pancake master - (not sure what your first name is lol!) I am seriously behind on my running goal! I only have a little over 16 miles so far!!
Its time to kick it into high gear and get those miles back lol! And I am actually going to college in Missouri, i just used to live in Alaska lol!

Thanks for the call out both Victoria and Annette. I have been remiss with logging the past couple of days. It's just been really hard for me to stay on track. I usually start off days well and then fall apart as the day goes one. Perhaps I just need to get up earlier to work on first thing, so I'll at least have that going for me.
I think I've got everyone's weight up to this post. Please have them in by the end of the day tomorrow. I'll try and post a call out post tomorrow morning.0 -
I'm hoping to show a decent weigh in tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, I'm still up. I think it has to do with starting weight machines this week. I've been good at logging, cals have been in line, and even though sodium hasn't, I've been drinking lots and lots of water. *sigh* I'm also hoping that by taking a day off from exercise today will help me drop back down to normal. Well, no official exercise but house cleaning.
I'm thinking I will jump on the bandwagon with all you P90X2 ladies in January, only I will do P90X since I didn't get to finish it last time.0 -
Victoria: thanks for that - I will go with the ticks meaning I am now 8/8 - reading and food and 7/8 - exercise/productivity. And Yeah to you for completing your week goal and enjoying your day of reast.
Sarah: congrats on the run - just cant imagine how great it must be to be able to go that far. THEY were obviously listening to provide you some comanionship when you felt like stopping. Hope your week is better. Haeve promised myself a pedicure when I reach 175 for longer than a week!!! Oh, and thank you!!
Kristina: I feel that you should log even if your day does deteriorate - at least you will start exerting control over your choices - i.e. your choice to log regardless - and see where it goes from there (i bet the next choice will be easier to implement than the one to restart logging regardless of intake). Oh, weight for today - 178.
Lacey: tomorrow it is then. Sorry to hear Bart not setled. Prayers and hugs to you for the days to come.
Amy: your exercise programme looks as scary as Victorias but I'm sure you will both just get on with it - you are both awesome.
Kendal: well done for 60 minutes - and for recognising your need to rest today. Keep it up x
There were several people logging weight losses - age and tiredness prevent me from remembering names but WELL DONE to you all.
I finally have a kind of 'will power' victory - having made cake today I (obviously) now want to devour it all. However - and this is a -maze - ing, put it into the tin and made for the fruit bowl (I couldn't face owning up to 'bad food choices' and going 8/9 for food at the end of today). So again, many thanks for being there ladies - I am sure I would not have made that choice without you xx0 -
Lost 2.4 lb this week.
Hope everyone's well. It's been a gorgeous weekend here in the UK, and I've been really enjoying the last few brilliant days of our unusually late late summer.0 -
I'm seriously second guessing my halloween costume lately. It's way too tight to wear to work and I'm not sure it'll be comfortable to wear out, if I even go out anywhere this year. I saw a Super Woman costume at Walmart that would look really cute with this haircut. (lol is it weird that I want to change my costume because of my hair cut?) Can hurt to buy it (if they still have it), try it on and see which costume I like better? Right? I can save this referee costume for next year. Maybe my boobs will shrink some by then.0
-
Kendal no reason to not buy that coostume just to at least see how it fits! You can always wear the other next year like you said.
I'm roasting a chicken and veggies in the oven using this french dry mix I bought in Brugge and it smells soooo good. I also have a frames (raspberry) beer to drink with it. I'm getting hungry just from the smell!
I found a 5k race to do in April with my bff in Portland..and need to look for one to do in maybe January or February. I like the idea of having something to train towards.0 -

Nope, Walmart didn't have any of my size Super Woman or Super Girl or Bat Girl costumes. So I picked up my bff and went to another Walmart and they had a PLETHORA of costumes. I tried on a pink Crayola crayon dress and it was SUPER CUTE. But this Bat Girl costume won. It's freaking awesome. And it has a CAPE!! and it comes with thigh high shoe covers and the pieces that go from my wrists to my elbows. Oh, and a mask, of course. I'm so freaking happy with it!!
Sorry that it's a dressing room pic. Loved it too much not to immediately show it to Mr. Reunion, lol
0 -
Kendal, that costume is crazy cute on you!!
Sorry I haven't been around, ladies...with the girls home and all of our haunting and cleaning, I've been super busy. Needless to say, I am now broke and exhausted. These weekends with them home are like a whirlwind trying to get everything in they want to do. Next visit is for a week, so it shouldn't be as crazy! I hope everyone had a great weekend!0 -
Well. I've had a crappy day. My boyfriend broke up with me again. Like a broken record, he doesn't have time for me and our relationship. Im pretty bummed, but I know this time will be easier than last.
I hate love somedays.0 -
***Weigh in for this week: 217***
Well, at least I lost the sodium and most of the pre-TOM weight. Speaking of sodium, I hear all you ladies talk about going over your sodium, and because of that I've been tracking mine. Seems as if unless I go to a fast food joint (which I have been avoiding altogether lately, just gets me into trouble, lol) I tend to be way UNDER my sodium, but over my sugar. Blah. Guess I'll hafta tweak a little bit. I'm such a sugar junkie. On the bright side, through all this tracking and investigating, most of my sugar is good sugar from fruit.
Chantix is still going well! I went to the pharmacy to look for a sleep aid the other day because my sleep has still been pretty restless, lots of tossing and turning. The pharmacist told me the most effective and cheapest method was just to take a couple Benadryl before bed and it's worked like a charm! Hooray! Today is officially (the end of) my 2nd day smoke free. :happy:
Now to catch up...
Kiki - Thanks for your encouragement! Yes, no matter when you quit, the benefits are there. According to my quitting support website, the damage to your skin stops 24 hours cigarette free and your carbon monoxide levels return to normal 48-72 hours smoke free. It's amazing all the things smoking can do to you. I'm glad your uncle had such good luck, but I can't imagine cold turkey! I've tried... I turn into the biggest b*tch in the world. :laugh:
And I totally know what you mean... Not only is it hard to stay away from the "bad for you" foods during the holidays, but with the little one; I didn't get any exercise last fall/winter with my daughter being about 6 months old then and us being in Minnesota, walking in winter isn't much of an option either. She's just now into the "don't ever put me down/hold me/carry me everywhere" phase though, so I'm planning to do DVDs when she's sleeping and still going to the gym and her going to the kids club. I know we can do this!
Jessi - Thank you! I'm sure this won't be easy, but it's another lifestyle change!
Welcome Erin!
Jenn - Congrats on the better fitting panties. It's nice to feel sexy sometimes!
Kerry - Yea, the Vikes were miserable again today. Nothing I wasn't emotionally and mentally prepared for though... :laugh: In fact, I didn't even watch today. Between the baby being sick, and me dreading any further disappointment, I just avoided the game altogether.
And doing a pull up would be awesome! I too, have never been able to do one... And I totally believe in you! Go for it and run the Chicago marathon!!!
Pam - Thank you!! LOL! I totally have been there thinking that I can't really be doing the exercise I'm doing, but the little story you included about asking your bf gave me a chuckle. :laugh:
Annette - Congratulations! The London Moonwalk sounds like so much fun!!! I'm sure you'll do great! And great job meeting all your goals last week!
Amy & Lacey - So glad you guys had such a great time! Uber jealous! I was FB stalking all your adventures. We missed you here though!
Lacey - I'm sorry to hear about Bart.
Sometimes a puppy can help, but sometimes not. I certainly hope it does for you, Jeff, and Gracie. I know I'm just not ready yet. *Hugs*
Hosanna - Thank you!!! That's so awesome about being able to touch your toes! I have a bad back as well, does the yoga help? I know I definitely lack in the flexibility department...
Nava - Sorry you're still craptacular! I remember my illness fun lasted like 2 or 3 weeks before I felt any bit better. I hope you get to feeling better really soon!
All this talk about getting a treadmill vs. gym membership... I have a gym membership but I've totally been thinking about buying a treadmill or elliptical lately. It'd be so easy to watch my shows and be MOVING at the same time as opposed to just sitting on the couch. It's something I've been putting some serious thought into lately.
Bobbi (& Jessi) - I made a "private" list also. Given my family is super religious, anything that I post automatically defaults to my privacy setting in which only my friends can see it, EXCEPT for those on my "private" list. I can change that for individual posts though, so if I'm posting something that I don't care if my grandma sees, I can change it to "everyone". Lol. I guess the changes haven't bothered me too much. I am right there with every other human on this planet that is uncomfortable with change, but the day after the change I heard this on the radio and couldn't have agreed more: "Everyone was in an uproar last time Facebook changed. Everyone got used to it. Everyone is in an uproar again and will get used to it until they change it again in 5 years."
Hailie - I'm sorry school has been so stressful. *Hugs* I agree with Amy, it does get better. AND YOU'RE TELLING ME! UGH!! The Vikings couldn't suck more this season if they tried...
Sarah (WnT) - So jealous of your "you" time! I hope it was an awesome time at the spa for you, you deserve it!
Kendall - Congratulations on 60 minutes on the elliptical!!! WOOHOO! I think the most I've ever been able to do was like 40, maybe 45 once, but I don't remember. I love the new costume!! Adorable!
*Whew!* That was a lotta catching up to do after a long weekend! Baby's sick again, so I've been dealing with that mostly and haven't had too much time to be online.
*Hugs to all!*

Good Monday Morning Super Pals!!! I got off to a good start this morning with a mile and a half run with the puppies in the beautiful sunshine. We've really had beautiful weather the past couple of weeks in Europe. The trees are all changing colors and I know that winter is on its way but I am so happy to be able to enjoy autumn while it lasts.
Kristina: Mark me off at 193. It's a 5 pound gain and I'm SURE that it's not all real weight gain but it hasn't budged all weekend so I'm gonna suck it up and take the gain this week and hope for a drop by the next weigh in. (I'm not changing my ticker until next week though, dammit!) I think getting up early to workout first thing is a good way to keep you on track for the day.
Crystal: I'm so sorry the baby is sick, I hope she gets better soon!
Megan: I'm sorry about the boyfriend. You deserve a man that has time for you though (not that it will make you feel better to tell you that). We LOVE you!!!!
Bobbie: I'm glad you had a good weekend with your girls!
Kendal: That costume is HOT!!!!!
Lacey: Yay for raspberry beer!!! I think training for a 5K is a wonderful motivator, you GO girl!!
meerkat: I agree with you about the beautiful weather!
Annette: WTG for the willpower victory! Awesome job!!
I have a happy thing to share with the group. As a lot of you know, my younger brother is morbidly obese and hasn't really made his health a focus of his. Well, while I was away in Paris, I noticed that he was counting the days of something on his facebook and I had no idea what it was. It turned out that his friends had staged an intervention regarding their concerns for his heath and he is now a member of Food Addicts Anonymous (which I didn't even know existed) and is following their abstinence food plan (which involves removing all trigger foods from the diet while learning how to properly nourish the body). He's planning his food and taking responsibility for what he eats and I am ridiculously proud of him. I just wanted to share. Have a great day!!!0 -
Monday morning weigh in: 191. Hooray. Back on track. A lost week and half...but of course before this it would have been a gain that just piled on.
Amy: good thoughts for your brother.
Everyone: I don't know how you keep up with each person---but I am reading it all and it is so motivating to share the good and the bad.
Have a great week. Here it went from summer to fall almost overnight. Our heat isn't on yet so it is a bit nippy. BUT this is a year when bringing up the winter clothes is not depressing because they all fit and something I haven't worn in awhile fit. That is very motivating for me...0 -
Sunday check-in... No ex, only burned 2193 since I sat on the couch watching football all day and did not log cals. I will log them today.
Amy - so happy for your brother.
Qofsheba - closet shopping is the best.0 -
Quick weigh in and then I'll catch up later:
******************************** 213.2 **********************************
HOLY COW, I lost all of my vacation weight plus some more!!!! I should whine about the scale more often, I think that works for me. Super crazy happy on this rainy Monday morning! 0 -
Ooo, another great reason to drink wine!

*****************************215.2******************************
Not happy about that number, but I can't pass 2 weeks in a row just cause I don't like it. But I know I was good all last week, so it's probably (hopefully) only because I've added weight training.
I've decided to try to save the house. I know..... I've been so wishy washy about what I want to do. But in the past week, trying to find a place that Mr. Reunion and I like, can afford, has everything we need and takes big dogs, yeah....it's just not happening. And I know it's only a week or so of looking, but why look if I can save the house and my credit? If nothing else, this thing can push back my foreclosure till after the new year while they do the paperwork to see if they will give it to me (right now my court date is in November and I have to be out by December 6th).
Amy- I'm so freaking happy for your brother!!!! That is amazingly fantastic news!!! It's great that he has friends and family around him to perform the intervention cause they can help motivate ans support him throughout the learning process.
Victoria- LOG YOUR FOOD, LADY!!!!
Pam- YAY for the weight loss!!
QofSheba- YAY for closet shopping!! I'm hoping to make this winter better than last. (not saying last winter was bad, I just want to improve)
Crystal- It's so great that the Chantix is working for you! That makes me smile!
Megan- Sorry for the man problems. We're here for you girlie.
Bobbie- Sounds like you had a great weekend, even if it did leave you exhausted. 0 -
Kendal: I'm bummed about your scale being a butt-head. You've been doing the right things, it will have to start being nice to you soon! I think that if saving the house is a possibility, you should go for it.
Pam: YAY for red wine!!! Congrats on losing the vacation weight (I'm hoping to be right behind you on that one).
Victoria: I'm back to logging the cals today too.
Sheba: I'm right with Victoria on the "yay for closet shopping" thing. Unfortunately, I got rid of my skinny clothes a long time ago so I am down to "real" shopping when I drop sizes. (I'm not complaining though)
I did my first day of the P90X/Running Hybrid program today and I am planning to be pretty danged sore tomorrow. I did chest & back (pushups and pullups mostly) and it was TOUGH! My muscles were all shaky and it felt really good to get through it. And then came the Ab Raper - that just sucked. A lot. But I needed it.0 -
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~267~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Couldn't remember if I weighed in or not.
News on the deployment: He isnt broken so he is going in the next few weeks. I know I can handle it, I'm just worried about our son. HE is already acting out about it. We will deal with it and it will all work out in the end. I know it will.0 -
Wow, need to catch up on posts...
Barely down this week from last... 230.60 -
Nava: Hiya!
Rikki: I'm so sorry about the deployment. That's tough and really crappy that you had no notice about it. The Hubbs hasn't been deployed yet this year but he's at the top of the list for next year's deployment matrix. He's gone TDY a LOT in the past year and a half though and every single time he's gone for longer than a week (he's had a few 1 week, a 3 monther and a month and a half one this past year) The Kid goes bananas. He cries for no reason, he gets angry, he acts out - it sucks. I feel for you.0 -
Well, to update on how the first weekend of NO SWEETS went, I did well. I had a craving for a sweet on Saturday but resisted and ate a Sugar Free Popsicle. I am allowing those because they are not a "sweet" like I had stated of cake, cookies, candy, ice cream, etc. Yesterday, I didn't even crave them at all even with my friend eating her birthday ice cream right next to me at the restaurant.
Today, I'm off work and taking hubby to the orthopedic specialist about his foot. He is going to the same specialist that I did and we will be away from home. I am hoping to use up my last of my Starbucks Gift Card while we are out but I'm not so sure I want to use it yet.
Here's to a great first week of NO SWEETS especially as TOM draws near to rear her UGLY head!0 -
Morning girls!
Not a lot of time but just wanted to say hello! And update a bit on me.
Yesterday morning I ran 9 miles in exactly 90 minutes, which I feel pretty great about. This week and next week I'm tapering and then I'll run 13.1 either Saturday or Sunday of next week. After that, I think I'm going to alter my hybrid schedule again to start to prep for colder weather. I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to try to run outside through the winter (I realy want to try, but I really don't want to break my ankle either) or if I'm going to recommit to P90X and then P90X2. OBVS I'll be doing P90X@ full throttle when it comes out, but I've still got from mid October through New Years to account for.
On Friday I did Ab Raper without putting the DVD in. Yup, I have it memorized. It was kind of awesome too, because I didn't have to wait for Tony to set up moves, and if I wanted to do a couple extra of anything I could. I think it took me 11 minutes instead of 16, which was awesome. I am starting to get really annoyed with my belly pooch, which I believe to be a perfect hybrid of loose skin and excess flab/bloat at all times. I'm happy with it when I stand up, but I HATE bending over. It makes me think the (ever-so-lofty) goal of wearing a bikini at some point just ain't gonna happen.
Ok, this is all rambling and I'm sorry I'm not responding individually to everyone. Kendal, I am internet-punching your scale for you. Amy, you are gonna shake off the 5 pounds so freakin' fast girl, so don't stress it. Everyone else - HI!0
