My day yesterday didn't get much better. I thought I was eating fairly healthy but ended up over on calories. I thought I was going to have a little loss or at least stay the same at my weigh-in last night at my weightloss challenge class - but no - I was up another 1.4 pounds and had to pay $1. And the class was really, really boring. Unfortunately this class was $50 wasted dollars. I'll have to find my motivation elsewhere. And then the Vikings .... well... enough said.
Today has been busy. I'm going to make a new recipe for chili tonight - that should be fairly healthy.0 -
Hello!
Checking in for the weekend-
Friday:
Calories - over:frown:
Water - eh - OK
Exercise - skipped :ohwell:
Proud - that I didn't do worse than that.
Saturday:
Calories - JUST under
Water - Good:flowerforyou:
Exercise - eh erm.... no.:frown:
Proud - That we didn't go out for Mexican:grumble:
Sunday:
Calories Just over:huh:
Water fine
Exercise - errrr :frown:
Proud - I butchered the two cockerels (young roosters) we had hatched out this spring. Of our three baby peeps, two were male and they were just getting to the age where they were going to start fighting each other (and challenging our flock rooster). It as HARD to do it! I didn't name them (thank God) but still! But you can't waste them and so I tried to pull from my DNA and remind myself that all of my ancestors had to butcher their own meat... GROSS! I will REALLY appreciate our roast chicken tonight. :noway: And I will forever marvel at a $4 roasted bird at the grocery store. WHAT A DEAL!:drinker:
Monday:
Calories under
Water - fine
Exercise - none:sick:
Proud - My little baby sister had her first child yesterday morning! I let Meghan skip school and we drove to Columbus to see the Mommies and little Friedrick James Towne - SO CUTE! My poor sister, Friedrick is about 1/3 head - so BIG 9.7 lbs! Caroline is THIN and tall but 9.7lbs?!? OUCH! We love our sister in law ElizaBeth (EB) and it was so sweet to see Caroline and EB with their little baby boy. What a cute little guy! OK so why am I proud? Because I still held to my meatless Monday and we didn't go nuts on food :drinker:0 -
Would love to respond to everyone's post but I am very sick with an upper respiratory bug. Urggghh!! I just simply can't breathe. SO I am going to post and head on to bed.
Calories: Didn't log, but food choices would suggest good.
Water: Yeppers
Workout: Day off
Proud: I worked really hard today and didn't have my mind on food.0 -
Shelle feel better soon. I wish that I could say that my mind wasn't on food today. Wow I had to be so careful to stay within calories today.
Calories yes
Water yes
Exercise no got up and put my workout clothes on so I planned on it...the day got away from me.
Proud that I logged and was accountable for every single calorie because I would have eaten more if I could have. Had the munchies or something...and I have survived.0 -
<Insert Rant> My body seems to not want to cooperate this week huh! Started out on Saturday at 229.6, was so glad to be in the 220's, hey even though it is the skin of my teeth, I was excited. Then I missed weighing on Sunday, I did make good food choices, and avoided all the negative foods. I did have a slice of cake, but I had more than enough calories. So I weighed on monday, and I was 230.6. I was alright with that, because I considered the cake, and maybe the sodium from the meat that I ate. So I drank my water on monday, and tell me why today the scale is up to 231.2! Ummmm, newflash, I crossed that hurdle last week, and do not wish to be at the 231.2 range. UGHHHHHHH < end rant>
So I am accepting the little weight gain here, and drinking water to drown out the sodium, if the numbers do not change by friday, I have to up my exercise from 30 minutes per session to 60 minutes......if that does not work, then it is time for another calorie shuffle. So let's see....
Today's Check-in:
Calories: Under.....and I had brown rice for the first time in months. Typically my dinners consist of protein and vegetable. So I decided to have some brown rice today. Looked kind of foreign on the plate.
Exercise: No day off, but tomorrow is my two a day....Let's see if this goes as planned....last two a day, I only got one in...humph...
Water: Yes, was under my sodium level, so I decided to stick with the 8 glasses of water.
Proud: That I did not go off the deep end about my little weight gain, and use that as an opportunity to binge...But then again, what am I going to binge on! My house has 100 calorie snacks and fruits. Wow, I binged on bananas....So I just went back to my work. Kinda hard to binge on healthy stuff and not junk.0 -
annasgyal: you are doing so well ... just keep on doing what you've been doing and that darn scale will cooperate eventually! I'm having similar 'scale' issues. I had been hanging around 220-221 for a couple of months, FINALLY got into the 21*'s - even down to 217something, but am now back up to 221something ... but I have had some bad eating habits creep back into my routine - so I KNOW why the scale isn't cooperating with me.0

So, I am glad to say, that for now, just for now, the scale and I are friends. Quite frankly, I need to break my addiction to weighing on this scale. I know I am making right decisions, and so I need to continue on, and not let the scale make it seem different. Well, it seems that I was having water retention, and so I am back down to 229.6. Really hoping to get to 228 by the end of this week. Not so sure how long I am going to stay there considering how I am going to do next week. Dreaded holidays!0

Yeah! :drinker:0 -
Checking In for today:
So for starters, I do think there is something seriously wrong with my scale. Not on the weight tip, but it kept giving me error readings. I may have to check the battery, or get a new one. Will see how it goes tomorrow.
Calories: Under....well thanks to my two a day exercise, and I ate back about 200 of my exercise calories....thank god for exercise, or else I would have been over
Exercise: Yes, walked a total of 6 miles today, 3 miles in the morning, and 3 miles in the evening...tomorrow is my rest day, and let's just say it will be a very hectic day, so I will see how things go.
Water: Yes, and I am going to drink more water, because I was over my sodium by 6, so I told myself in the event I am over, I am going to drink another bottle.
Proud: That the scale is cooperating!0 -
Water Yes
Calories No over about 300 big ones. grumble
Exersice Yes
Proud that I got up and got my workout clothes on and got er done.0 -
calories: good FINALLY!
exercise: good - 50 minutes of step
water: ok - but didn't track and could have done better
proud: finally had a good eating day!0 -
Ok, I am checking in:
Tuesday:
Calorie: Didn't log.... I know! I am logging today. I NEED to do this. Choices were good but I did a late night snack. never a good thing
Workout: No, not feeling well
Water: Yes.
Proud: I've gotta stretch for this one.....ummm.... I made good choices in spite of the hectic schedule
Self-challenge: No late night snacking tonight.... see the scale move tomorrow!
annasgyal: How did you do the 6 m, a dvd? You are doing a great job!
lstpaul- I know on the bad habits. I have been stalled out for 2 months two and it is by my OWN doing. I need to do this or get off of the bus.
Snowflake- Great job staying within calorie range!!!0 -
Had a better day hunger wise, thank goodness.
Water Yes
Caloies Yes
Exercise Yes killer hike
Proud I made some treats to take a few friends and only had a couple of tastes.
Be strong ladies! Crossing fingers and toes for a good weigh in tomorrow morning.0 -
Today's Check-in:
Calories: Under, Like way under. Did not get to 1000 calories! It was not intentional, and I looked over everything to ensure that I did input everything. Very weird, as I try to at the very least eat over the 1200 mark, so eating 1000, when my calories are set to 1490, no bueno.
Exercise: No, rest day...however, tomorrow is the dreaded two a day
Water: Still chugging, I was out and about today, and managed to only get two glasses, so I have been chugging since 6pm, to get the additional water that I need to at least make it to 8.
Not sure how this weigh in is going to go, not that I made bad choices, but not feeling like I had a major loss. But you ever know.
Most of the time, when I do my walking, it is to Leslie Sansone, or to Biggest Loser Power Walk DVD.0 -
Yeah! down 2.4 pounds ...
lstpaul ..... -2.4 ................-1.08%0 -
Last Weeks Weigh-In-230.4.
Today's Weigh-in: 229.8 *grumbles underneath breath* Not even a full pound, but a loss is a loss right?
Total Loss of 0.6pounds....*yeah*
Weight loss percentage-0.26%
Congrat's on the loss lstpaul!0 -
lstpaul .......... -2.4 ................-1.08%
annasgyal ....-0.6 .................-0.26%
snowflakes ..-0.8 ..................0.0%
Not counting the loss because that is the weight I put on my road trip.
lstpaul high five, you rocked it this week. Doing the happy dance with you!
anasgyal I had the EXACT same thought of why can't it be a pound. A loss is a loss and even if it is -0.2 we are going in the right direction. How does the Biggest Loser walk compare to Leslie Sansone? Do you have a favorite?
Since the Nov.1 weight in I'm down 2 pounds, 6 to go.0 -
annasgyal I would be happy with a loss any loss...Good job0
-
Water Yes
Calories Yes
Exercise this is a BIG strech So I was in town shopping for a couple of hours and under add a exercise 'standing' there was calories burned for standing fishing from the bank. That how I calcutated my calories burned today. Ya, very pathetic I know.
Proud that I am staying accountable. It takes time to log in every single day.0 -
Checking in:
Calories: Way under again today! Hummmm, don't want this to be a pattern, and considering that i exercised...humph! Let's just say i have almost 900 calories that I can consume....This could be affecting my weight loss.
Water: I got 10 glasses down.....definately a first in a long time I have drank 10 glasses...
Exercise: Yes, did a toatal of 80 minutes today. My dreaded two-a-day exercise.
I have to say that the Biggest Loser Power Walk may seem easy, but Bob seems to find a way to add in my arch nemesis...Jumping Jacks, it is like why do they not leave that for the last thing to do? Because after I do the Jumping Jacks, how am I to recover to finish. Then, I am like wait is this not a walking DVD. Let's just say come Monday, I will be doing the DVD, but then in the afternoon workout, I will be doing a Hip-hop DVD. Time to switch things up.
I still for some reason prefer Leslie, even though the moves are redundant, it actually works. No need for all the fancy coordination, and helps to get a workout in, in a short period of time.0 -
Hi I would like to join this challenge.. I see that you guys post everyday and enter your calorie, the water that you drink, and workout min.. Is that all? Also on what day do you have to post your weigh in?0

Hi, tethomas73
We weigh in on Fridays. Welcome to the group0 -
Saturday Check in
Calories: Yes, today I was only under by about 40.....but that is good for me.
Water: Yes, considering I had a pizza for lunch, I knew my sodium would have been high, so I chugged away...ended the day with 10 cups of water...hoping that is enough...
Exercise: Rest day,,,,
Starting to slowly incorporate other foods in my diet. Getting kind of bored with the same ole, same ole...0 -
Hello all! Too far behind to try to read everything and catch up so I'm just going to jump in! Work has been INSANE in mostly a good way.

11/17
Calories - Over by 522
Water - good
Exercise - total fail

11/18
Calories - Over by 950
Water - good
Exercise - fail
Proud - erm... I had lots (LOTS) of healthy food! Indian for lunch and I didn't go back for more Nahn, then a home made butter bean soup for dinner. It was the home made bread that did me in :sad: and the wine
11/19
Calories - Over by 350
Water - good
Exercise - fail (although I caught and wormed the horses)
