    I am so spent, stressed, and over the top overwhelmed ... I will be MIA until Sat., in order to mediate some of the issues at hand... sorry guys- but I just have to be honest with what I have at the moment.

    My plan is to follow the Challenge this week- I will have access to my mobile MFP app (i.e. logging food/ exercise, checking in on my status) but I will not be able to log on the spreadsheet or access the Week 6 message thread. I will report/ log/ etc. when I get back on Sat.

    Take care everyone; hit it hard this week!!

    We will miss you Amy until Saturday.. Hope you feel better soon and rock when you are back.. :-)

    Spent some time with my Gazelle tonight, walking with that. Did intervals on it, which I hadn't done before-- whew! I was watching some of "Food Inc" while I was on there though... I totally had to look away for some parts. I'm not sure if I can continue to live in ignorant bliss after some of that!!
    Feeling much better today though-- yesterday went down in a fiery blaze after the kids got the Halloween candy opened. Otherwise, I think I did ok until then , but then.. well, I just stopped logging. Sigh... And sadly, it was just yesterday morning that I had made the vow that I wasn't going to even buy candy this year. Damn you little Reese's Pieces!!!

    Its been a few months since all of us started this journey together, first on the 60 day challenge and now as motivated mommas, how do you feel you have changed personally? Not just in weight loss but how has your outlook on life changed? Are you happier? More self-assured?? Have people noticed these changes?

    I have to say that I am super proud of myself because I have been such a good eater so far this week! Even with tonight being our 5 year wedding anniversary my husband and i decided to stay in for dinner/date night so we could make a good homecooked meal (and let's be honest, saving some $$$ is always nice :wink: ). So I'm making a yummy dish we haven't had in a long time: primevera stuffed chicken breasts. soooo good! And I'm gonna make us something light and chocolately for dessert as well. It's been tough because I've been surrounded by oppurtunities to induldge, and of course I know the weekends are always the hardest but I feel like I'm actually managing my need to snack really well! Better than I have for a long time. And I just wanted to share that :smile:

    Emotional Challenge
    Its been a few months since all of us started this journey together, first on the 60 day challenge and now as motivated mommas, how do you feel you have changed personally? Not just in weight loss but how has your outlook on life changed? Are you happier? More self-assured?? Have people noticed these changes?

    Over the course of these challenged I have changed in a lot of ways. First I started noticing the physical changed, then it was the emotional changes. I was able to let things go that I have held on to for quite some time. I was able to get past things and move on and it felt great. The next changes I notices were being able to face myself in the mirror. Then I was able to to walk around and not feel as self-conscious about myself, I knew I was making healthy changes and that made me feel like what other people though didn't matter. I think that the only change people see in me really is the physical change. When I went on vacation the first thing my little sister (she is 14) said to me was - Wow you are looking skinnier! It felt good to have her notice! I was good at putting on a happy face and seeming like I was happy with myself, so I don't think people will notice the other changes for awhile.

    This week I have had a chance to re-experience what my life was like before. I have been visiting with my family and that is hard food and exercise wise. There aren't many great choices for healthy foods to eat, so I have been having a rough week, but at the same time, it is almost the kick in the pants that I needed to remember how great I really do feel when I am eating healthy and exercising regularly. I have been feeling tired and slow this week because of the tole the unhealthy food choices have taken on me, and I don't want to continue to feel like this! I don't know how I did it before. Now I know what I have to do for future visits and I know that I won't be returning to this lifestyle in my everyday life, and that is a great feeling.

    Busy day today-- playgroup in the morning, and then Halloween for the daycare kids in the afternoon. John got home today though, so after then were gone, I booted outside for a gloriously long walk, and then came in to do my exercises. Imagine my surprise to see that I hit over 1000 calories!! Holy Crap! I'm a little afraid of how I'll feel in the next day or so-- a friend of mine and I have joined a Biggest loser challenge, and while it's not hard stuff.. well, it all adds up! We're trying to catch up too, so doing 2 days of strength training in one is probably not appreciated my muscles! Looking forward to sitting on my *kitten* with my cross-stitch for the rest of the night!! Lol!!

    OK im a little freaked out by the scale, Friday when I weighed it said 235.7:bigsmile: (major happy dance) Today I weighed about 30 minutes earlier which usually means i'll have an extra 0.5 lbs or so but....233.7 a loss of 2 lbs on a weekend:huh: , for me thats completely unheard of, even when I workout double and eat perfectly I ALWAYS have a gain come sunday or monday.

    OK im a little freaked out by the scale, Friday when I weighed it said 235.7:bigsmile: (major happy dance) Today I weighed about 30 minutes earlier which usually means i'll have an extra 0.5 lbs or so but....233.7 a loss of 2 lbs on a weekend:huh: , for me thats completely unheard of, even when I workout double and eat perfectly I ALWAYS have a gain come sunday or monday. IDK If I should be so super happy or scared of what im gonna see tomorrow!! As long as I dont go over 235 I think I can handle it! Heres to having some kind of loss come Wednesday for the first time in 2 weeks!!!:drinker:

    Embrace it, you are doing an amazing job! :)

    Emotional
    Its been a few months since all of us started this journey together, first on the 60 day challenge and now as motivated mommas, how do you feel you have changed personally? Not just in weight loss but how has your outlook on life changed? Are you happier? More self-assured?? Have people noticed these changes?

    I feel like I am slowly becoming more outgoing and confident in myself. I sitll have A LOT of body issues, but I don't want to fade into the background as much as I used to want to. I seem to want people to notice me more and I guess that makes me want to be more outgoing and talk to them. This is a HUGE difference in my personality. Also, I am a lot happier. I feel more alive, more so than I can remember feeling for a very long time! I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed these changes, since we don't live by any family and I don't have any close personal friends, just neighbors and acquaintances through Caeleb's school.

    Sunday Points Total: 4 points (2 for strength, 1 for food, 1 for emotional)
