I can do anything better than you...

(hehehe) I just had to finish the line. I'm looking forward to it, though. I'm SUCKING at this challenge, though. I had 800+ calories left over for dinner so I chowed & then went, "oops..." as I was looking at the measuring cup on the counter. :ohwell: Sorry, Tresa! Please forgive me! :sad:

Girlmom282109

SO I have measured everything and counted everything today! I upped my calorie intake and now find it hard to eat even to 1200 Hahahaha!! I am home for the next couple days so that is going to be my problem. eating my calories is hard when I am home. I did the free step for a whole hour while I watched Jon and Kate + 8. It was their wedding renewal one and I have not seen it. so yeah over 4000 steps! :noway:

Hope everyones day is going great! Start of the week has been fantastic so far!:drinker:

3babybeans

I love that I was craving a roast beef sandwich and am eating one right now for a mere 220 cals!

Nicky,

Unfortunately no. But I just love the look on that first kitties face. He looks like I do most of the time. :bigsmile:

Hee.

Anyway, this is what my kitty looks like: <IMG SRC="http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/4480/skye2hp4.jpg"&gt;

What a total cutie - I love his face triangle and little mittens.. I also have a grey cat - he is on my profile - the oldest in my group (~9).

I have 2 younger brown tabbies that I will get photos on when I get home (can't do from work).

Thanks for sharing..jb

Good morning everybody,

I also snuck a peek at the scale and I am so hoping it stays there. I was so proud of myself last night, went to women's fellowship at church and they were having baked potatoes with all the fixings. I had a medium size, the smallest I could find, loaded with broccoli, 1 oz of shredded cheese (had to eyeball it) and put some salsa on top. It wasn't as good as if it would have sourcream and butter but it was okay and after the meal I realized that I didn't even care it was that way. I am finding myself horrible now, I know which people are in the weight loss support group at church with me and it was really hard to keep my mouth shut and say "do you have any idea how many calories you are eating". :noway: I am horrible. I manage to keep it shut though.

Went to water aerobics today, went 1/2 hour earlier and swam laps until it started. I am so out of shape. :sad: It was wonderful, I am so glad I went.

I am also not doing good at this challenge. I measure most things but forget and I hate measuring peanut butter because it makes such a mess. I think I am whining!

you have to go to photobucket put your kitties in there and change the IMG to lower case img

Hey all! Hope everyone's week is getting better!

I'm actually at work today, so that's an improvement.

I'm starting to get really down though. Nothing is going right right now and I'm tired of it. I've been on TOM for 3 weeks now and I'm sick of that. have only lost 1 lb this whole challenge and I've actually been doing well until this weekend. I can't do anything short of walking hunched over and in pain. My pain pills make me sick, my muscle relaxers make me sleep. I'm so broke I can't believe it. It's really hard for BF to find a job when we don't have a phone, missed a great opportunity because of that last week. If we had a phone he would have started a new job yesterday. I'm exhausted, I'm stressed out and I just want to crawl in a hole until everything gets better. :sad:

Sorry to lay this out on you guys, I just feel like I'm full to bursting with frusteration at everything that's happening.

Thanks for listening and I really do hopethat everyone has a great week and loses lots of weight! :flowerforyou:

Don't feel so bad....i wish there was a way i could come over there and give you a hug:frown: I know what your going through...DH hasn't had a job in over a month and were fixing to screw up our credit if nothing happens soon. He's going through temp agencies to find work on a daily basis....Has your BF tried that yet? Maybe there is a neighbors phone number you could give out until things get better for you! Hang in there! My heart goes out to you! Your will be in my prayers and thoughts.....:flowerforyou:

amelia we are at about the same weight. do you have a HRM to tell you exactly how many calories you burned? if so, how many for level 1 on 30 day shred?

Vanessa I hope things get better for you. I know how you feel hubs went through thanksgiving and christmas without a job. Try eating half a cereal bar with your pain medicine. When I had my breast reduction they gave me pain medicine to take home and it made me sick too but the doc said to try a cereal bar with it and it worked. Thank god I didn't need them for every long because the made me sleepy. I went to advil about 3 days after I got home.

Vanessa414

Thanks guys :blushing:

I would normally ask a neighbor but we live in an apartment building with a not so great crowd and don't know anyone.

He's going to be going through a temp agency soon, the same company that would have hired him starting yesterday has a couple more positions open, but he has to go through a temp agency to get them.. it's complicated and I don't know much about it but I'm really hoping that he has a job by the end of the week.. The only other problem is that his car is all screwed up and never starts even though we just replaced the battery. We'll have to figure that out later though.

Thanks for the kind words, I just get so frusterated sometimes when so many things are going bad and they're out of my control to fix.

Thanks again! I'm hoping I'll be on my feet and working out again by the beginning of next week. Until then, i'll make sure to stay in my calories! :drinker:

Vanessa, sending hugs and prayers your way! :flowerforyou:

Level one on 30 day shred i burned 246 cals....i think it was around 25mins. I can only do like 8pushups on my toes...the rest on my knees and I tried to 'kick my butt' during the butt kicks. I went low during the lunges. So basicly followed the advanced chick. Not bad for 25mins:drinker:

I was calculating 200 calories for it so I wasn't that off. I think I will stick with 200. Thanks for getting back to me on that.

I just got done with my 50 min. TJ...off to squeeeeeeze in some weight training if my body can take it.

Nicky - are you eating some Kashi? My boys LOVE that cereal with the little hearts in it. Or are you eating Lucky Charms? :huh:

Vanessa - Hang in there, my dear. *hugs* I will pray that your BF finds a job quickly!

Amelia - any news on the job your husband tested for?

Sam, Amanda, Jeannie, Janiebeth, Lynnie, Marla, Lori, Dave, Laura, Spyguy, Anna, Shuntae, Tresa, Julie, Dana, and all y'all- Hi! :flowerforyou:

Also it's a kellogg's cereal called cinnamon that's supposed good for the heart so it has little hearts in it. It's YUMMY and cute to look at. My favorite kind of food. :bigsmile:
