I know what you mean. Sometimes (okay, a lot of the time :laugh: ) I work out for food. Like a horse with a carrot being dangled in front of them.
This time of year is tough for a lot of people. Too much dark and not enough light.
We're here for you anytime you need to :sad:
! We don't expect anymore of you than we do ourselves. You're a great black team leader but you're human. If you don't feel like working out, you're not a bad person, you're normal!
Ok so this is what I did: I lowered my weight loss from 2 pounds to 1 pound it gave me 500 more calories a day. we shall see how that is. that is usually what I burn to eat more.0 -
Hey, Sam! I have special "online guy friends", too. Don't tell my husband. Ssshhh....
:laugh:
Just kidding! Would you like to see what one of my "problems" has been this week?
Zeke dumped a container of hair things in the toilet yesterday. NEAT!
It has been quite a week for all of us, hasn't it?! Next week HAS GOT to be better!
Oh...and my flight will be in at 11:30 pm. gate 23b. :bigsmile: I WISH!0 -

Good idea! I have to say, I'm more like a horse with a sugar cube, though... Anything for a treat! :glasses:0 -
Sam, I truly hope tomorrow and all of next week gets better. Big Hugs! :flowerforyou:0

I thought that was a pair of panties in the potty!:laugh: :noway: :laugh: :blushing:
We all "window shop" right? there is nothing wrong with having guy friends!! especially if they are online!
We have that training potty too. is that the one that plays royal music when they go?
I wish about the fight too. It is supposed to be 54 degrees here tomorrow. and we have a bouncy house moon bounce thing out at work tomorrow. Hopefully I won't be sick when I get home.
this awful thing.

I am anything with a sugar cube!! I am always over on sugar and sodium.I know what you mean. Sometimes (okay, a lot of the time :laugh: ) I work out for food. Like a horse with a carrot being dangled in front of them.

Okay I will say this. I pop in on other teams threads sometimes just too see how everyone is doing. Not to take anything away from any of them because they are all great people, but I just have to say I *totally* love this team and I am so thankful to you, Sam, for allowing me to be on this team of supporting, caring, amazing people.
And one more thing, I feel like I have ate all dang day. But when I think about it, it has been all veggies, fruits, nuts, low fat dairy, and whole grains. I used to eat all day and it was cakes and cookies and burgers and fries and pies and shakes and ohhh my yummy McD's sweet tea and Mochas. So like Spyguy says, days come and go, but each one brings better choices for me.

lynnie, you just crack me up girl!!
I hope you so proud of our black team when I weigh in after a week on vacation!:noway: :laugh:
But truly, :glasses: Black Team ROCKS!!
Maybe my weigh in wont be so bad. I have been doing the veggies, fruits and sit ups and have exercised each day. One day I told DH I was going to do the video and instead he walked down the hill...uh-BTW when you walk down a hill, you must walk back UP!! :laugh: :laugh:
It was great!

There is no trip if you already live here. All you have to do is drive up!! :bigsmile: :smooched:0 -
Just thought I'd check in with my team.
Hard day! I'm PMSing like mad and with PMS come food cravings!
So I overate today but only by enough to knock me into the 1lb a week loss instead of the 2lb a week loss so I'm not too broken up about it. Haha.
I've been watching the entire season 3 of Australia's Biggest Loser this past while and just finished it today. WOW. That show made me cry more than anything I've seen in my life. But seeing it is such a huge inspiration. I want to go to the gym right now and sweat this *kitten* off... but too sore for that. Boo.
Anyway, see you guys on Monday. Haha. Tomorrow is my official day of 'rest', IE: NO COMPUTER DAY.
:drinker: :bigsmile:0 -
You know what made me cry? I just watched "The Bucket List". That was one awesome movie. A real tear jerker yet feel good kind of flick.0

I hate this! I feel like I'm letting everyone down. I'm so bored with exersicing and I always seem to want to go over my calories. I'm always hungry!! I don't know if the calories are set right but I feel like I am exersicing just so I can eat. It shouldn't be like that right? I can't stop crying. I hate it where I live it's never a normal tep. outside. yesterday and today have been to cold outside to do anything and then when it's not cold out it's miserably hot. Our treadmill is out in the garage and I can't do 30 day shred until Big M is asleep or I don't get a good workout and by then I'm ready for bed! Spyguy and everyone elae I know it's just one day or two maybe but I'm supposed to be strong! :sad: this is all I want to do! :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:
Sam,
Your supposed to be human. Strong is only something we can be on occasion. You don't have to be strong all the time. That is why you have us here. We all support one another. I know the feeling on the weather thing. It was -17 here yesterday and I feel like I am getting cabin fever. Your not letting any of us down. Things can be really hard sometimes especially when your feeling so helpless. Take a good long look at your ticker and think about how you felt 25 pounds ago. Reflect on how far you've come. Once Big M is in bed see how you feel. if you don't want to shred for the night do some Wii fit and have a bit of fun. Take a little time tonight and think about something good about you that has nothing to do with losing weight. Think of what you do for your family, your friends. Anything...Just remember your weight doesnt determine your worth and you are doing GREAT! Damn the weather man and his ever changing tempatures. lol You'll get through it hang in there boss.
BTW.....I am thinking I could totally deal with Florida whenever I am shoveling 3 feet of snow outside my garage. :bigsmile:
Now go drink some water and stop being a wimp :drinker: :laugh:
Thanks Spyguy! You might just be my most special online guy friend! :blushing: You always know how to make a person feel better. Your wife is one lucky lady! Yeah don't EVER mention TOM when she is angry. Bad idea!:laugh: :laugh:
Sara I'm waiting to hear when your flight comes in!!
Lynnie that's for the kind words! I knew I picked the right team when I was choosing team mates!
The black team will over come all that is wrong with us this week and move into next weeks problems! I just have to say to myself I WILL OVERCOME THIS!!! over and over again. Big M is calling for her liquid dinner
Glad I could help sam! It's almost like having a bunch of new sisters I never knew I had. Could afford to have more brothers around but apparently I get to be the monority. lol

We were suppose to get snow but the weather man always says that....i think its a scam to get people to run out and get grociers(lol,GA rarely has snow and OMG,any mention of it and the grocery store's are slammed...so funny)
What workout is everybody doing today? Ive got a circuit planned!0 -

I just woke up from about 16 hours of sleep, it was interrupted many, many times but I was so exhausted yesterday, I took a nap starting at 1:15 and then sleep until 4:15, got up and ate because I was shaking. Took a bath and went back to bed, the kids kept coming in and out and I just kept dealing with them from the bed. Dh was a big help. I am not sure what is wrong with me, but I am exhausted!
I am dealing with a temper throwing, rotten attitude sucks 13 year old ds. He is the greatest kid honestly, but oh my he has his moments. My 8 year old is also great but she has always been high strung :laugh: and then there is the precious 4 year old. I rejoice even when my other two kids are throwing fits because at least they can talk, and scream at me and use their hands to slam doors (and get in trouble) and stomped off. Emmy, my four year old, can do none of that. She is my special gift from heaven.
I see I am rattling, so I hope everybody has a great, awesome, super day. :flowerforyou:0 -

Amelia, the best part of exercising IMO, is the extra eating calories that come with it. Okay that is a close 2nd, the best part is the way I feel after I exercise!
Congratulations on exercising! :flowerforyou: 0 -
Happy Sunday Black Team,
Support to all who need it - we have had some tough days this week.
I am planning on trying out our new Wii Outdoor Challenge. I hear there is a bit more cardio, so am hoping to substitute for my swim workout (one of our coaches is sick and the other is at a swim meet, so no practise tonight :grumble: :grumble: ).
We got around 4 inches of snow last night with more coming tonight, so maybe some sledding tomorrow.
I also overate yesterday. Must have been the phase of the moon or something. I was right on target after dinner, and then I just got a horrible case of the growling munchies - nothing was safe.. UGH!!
Well, at least we all have 3 days to straighten this out before next weigh in..
Have a great day all.. jb0
