afternoon guys....
drtamm.....doesn't that scale number taste sooooo much better that what you are eating????:bigsmile: i love that feeling along with the feeling of my pants falling off.....
my new pic is of me and "ruby". she is the one from the show on style. shanell and i went and walked the mall with her this morning at 8. it was a mile walk. she is such a nice person. she looks so much thiner than on tv. i realized what do you say to someone who is on tv for losing weight? she just stood and talked with us. of course it helped that there weren't many people there yet. there was only about 50 total anyway. surprised me. than went to the book sale, bought a few books. just love them.
have a great weekend ladies, and remember weigh in is just after the weekend. wet outside for me today. in door day. check back later.

What's up ladies!!!! Had a great day today. Got up and went for a walk at the mall with Ruby, and loved it, told mom we should go walk around the mall more often, it was good mother, daughter time. Then we went to Chuck E Cheese with the girls and my hubby's side of the family. Had a good time there and ate good I would say. I had a salad, then was staring at the pizza thinking just one slice, so hubby suggested that I get one of his because he had a small pizza, so I did, and it was so good, that I wanted more, so hubby said to go get more salad to munch on so I wouldn't be tempted to eat the pizza, and boy did that work, so I did wonderful. Like mom and Tamm says, that scale looks better than the food. Then we came home and took a nap, now I'm debating on what's for dinner. I kinda want more salad.:laugh: :noway:
Well, anyways, hope everyone has a good night. Later.0 -
YEA!!!!! shanell, mind over food. dad said "good for her"0

Weighed in at 203.6lbs this morning. Was strangely disappointed. I keep reminding myself I'm on target, not to mention had most of yesterday's calories in the evening (mum's birthday), which had a fair bit of sodium and it's my time of the... well, not month. Bi-monthly, hehe. I guess I just like the bigger drops- just as well, as I won't be able to weigh myself for at least a week :sad:
Hang on... when did I last weigh in? *Checks* Monday. Okay, a pound in four days. I feel better now, hadn't calculated it like that. I'm happy again :laugh:
Glad everyone is having a good weekend. I'm tidying, working and uni-working tomorrow, whoop-whoop-sarcastic-whoop
Have fun everyone :flowerforyou: 0 -
Cathy, Shanell, sounds like you both enjoyed that event. Nice pics
Tudor, just remember that slow and steady really does win this race!!
Tamm, happy belated, and GREAT mindset about the cake!
Hi everyone!! :flowerforyou:
Well, I FINALLY WENT BACK TO THE GYM TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was just for a little cardio and weights, only 45 minutes in all, but wow was I ever happy to be back there. I'll hit it this week as hard as I can manage (both physically and schedule-wise) to hammer home being back to it.
Here are my meals for tomorrow:
1. oatmeal w/ flax, wheat germ, apple & vanilla protein shake mixed in
2. 1 slice sodium-free Ezekiel bread w/ 1 tbsp almond butter & sliced apple (1/2)
3. celery sticks w/ homemade hummus
4. 1/2 sprouted grain bagel w/ hummus, alfalfa sprouts & tomato
5. organic turkey burger w/ skim milk cheese, salsa, spinach & red pepper (no bun)
6. chocolate protein shake made w/ 1 cup skim milk
There is an abs work out I may try from the new Oxygen mag I was reading tonight. I'll be at the gym on Monday though and I will decide which class I'm going to do then decide about tomorrow's work out based on that. We'll see! It will be something though, and first thing in the morning.
Off to watch a movie, drink some water and have a good night's sleep! :drinker:0 -
morin' ladies....
pedal...didn't the gym feel sooooo GOOOOOD?
i was hoping to go today. haven't been since i got sick over a week ago. but, the thunder and lightening kept me at home on my treadmill and i used hand weights. this was the first real big, high HR workout for me in over a week. it felt good. burned 910 calories. doing some changing on my workouts. still raining out and flooding now. son off to work, DH still sleeping had two emergency calls last night. funny how killing bugs becomes an emergency:noway: . but, i guess when a customer see a bug while eating.:ohwell: . i realized this morning while working out, that may be why i eat sometimes. i am lonely. DH has been working longer and more hours with his new route. even though it's less clients, less pay. he has been so wrapped up in his new route and getting it together, and now he has to go out of town twice this month for a few days each time. he has all that on his mind. boy, he's lucky to have me to take care of the house and finances. :bigsmile: . maybe that's why he spoils me and takes me shopping
. ok, sorry got carried away. it's quite here right now. need to sneak in and shower and go to shanells and maybe stop at goodwill to see what people dropped off after their yard sales.
check back later, hope everyone is having a nice weekend.0 -
I'd like to join you gals next time if i may.
I'm thinking that by the middle/end of March I'll be needing some extra motivation.
So far, so good, but there will be some traveling & celebration challenges later on.0 -
Ladies, I am not doing well on the food front. Exercise, I am doing ok on. I made it to the gym on M, T, W, F and Sat of this week. Now, not everyone of those workouts was huge, but I burned at least 200 calories at each one. But my eating is so out of control, I dare say I won't see any results. I have to get this under control, or the scale is going to move in the wrong direction. I suspect this is also why I have yet to go down a jeans size. I would think that I should have already, even if the scale is only saying 8 pounds lost. I am having a hard time controlling the eating with my hubby gone and my aunt here. Not sure why. I have to get back on the horse, though.
Cathy-let us know what kind of bargains you find this week.
Amy-when is your appointment again? How are you feeling?
Pedal- so glad you could get back to the gym. I was only out for nearly a full week last week due to DH leaving and schedule conflicts that go with that, and I felt awful so I know it must have been really hard for you. So glad you can have a return to normalcy.
Kristin-I suspect us not hearing from you as much means that you are too busy doting on your lovely niece, lucky you! Enjoy it!
Tamm- so glad you are getting to post more often, it is good to hear from you. I will keep an ear out for a good 5K and keep you posted.
Shanell & Cathy- so cool that you got to walk with Ruby. So proud that you guys went to do that. It must be so motivating!
AmyLou- how is/was SF? (can't remember when you were due to return)
Lauryn-how are you? how are you doing on battling those late night binges? I know you were doing REALLY WELL! So proud of you.
All others-hugs to all!
Hmmm....oh, I wanted to tell you guys about the new bikes we got at the Y. They are really cool, like a giant video game. They are by expresso and the bike has a big computer screen at eye level and you can choose different routes under different intensity levels and you follow them so you see if you are going uphill or down, plus you get scenery. They totally rock and I HATE exercise bikes. But, I was on one every time I hit the gym this week. They also have this option called Proving Grounds where you chase dragons around for points. It is stinkin' awesome! You can even create a user id and track your progress online, though the machine isn't letting me sign in so none of my miles are being tracked yet :grumble: I will have to get this resolved because I want them logged! Anyway, if you get a chance to try these out, do. They are really cool.
New Haiku:
"Thank you, Buffalo,
for the memories, the wings,
and the extra pounds."
"But these burgers are
so small, how bad could they be?
The White Castle Myth."
"Just ask Mrs. Smith.
Behind every good pie is
a whole lotta fat."
It seemed like a three haiku kind of day!
Have a great day, ladies! :flowerforyou:0 -
:flowerforyou: Hello Ladies! I'm happy that I'm posting more regularly, like I planned. Lets pray that it continues through out those busy work weeks. I got on the scale to take a peek today and I am holding steady, YAY!!! I am doing sooooo much better with my portion control. It is amazing. I can't believe how easy it is when you make it up in your mind not to over eat. Now, don't get me wrong, I can still throw down if I needed it... lol... though its never a need. I've been reading some motivational articles this morning and it talked about how sometimes dieters/life style changers are not excited about progress. If a women loses 15 lbs but she wanted to lose 40 she would be disappointed. I hope we all realize each pound removed is one less to carry around and one step closer to a healthier you!!!
Rhiannon- Glad you went to the gym. I can't wait until I find a nice one that is affordable around here. How is Leith?
Shanell and Cathy- I'm jealous... I like Ruby and I am so proud of her progress. Glad yall could meet her.
Tudor- glad you realized that 1 lb was good! One step at a time works wonders.... slow and steady, like Pedal said!
Lauryn---- I'm missing you!
Well ladies... It is cold and rainy today. I haven't worked out yet. I may do something late tonight or this could be my one day off this week. I'm enjoying my morning jogs so much I don't take a day off. :happy: :happy: My old gym has a partner gym here ... sucks. It was made in the 60's has a small cardio corner, no classes, I saw only 2 men in there and it is SMALL did I say that already. I need to find a gym soon, I miss doing classes. Meanwhile I will start my Different dvd's per day routine. AND while I am ranting.... I tried a new church today...... It sucked. I had a wonderful church in Memphis and finding a new one can take sooooo long and its hard to find a perfect on just for you. Anyway.... Take care ladies!
Tamm 0 -
Katie- Thanks for the Haiku. they were wonderful. I hope that your struggles with the food soon stops. At least you are fighting it with fitness. You will overcome! I believe in you!!

Good morning Sixers!
I am finishing up a fabulous weekend at our beach house. The weather was not great but it was nice to relax, read books, watch movies and play with the kids. I also need to do some clothes shopping for the little one. Went to the outlet mall and got him 4 pairs of pants for $35.00. This will last him until summer time and shorts.
I have a horrible head cold on top of still dealing with severe anemia and gall bladder disease. I just keep thinking that once this is all resolved I am going to feel like a brand new person! 1 week until the colonoscopy/endoscopy procedures. This time next week I will be eating my last meal I will be allowed for over 24 hours! Then hopefully the gall bladder can come out that next week! By the end of march all problems could be resolved! I just keep holding on to that thought.
There has been no exercise, no eating plan. That is hard. I am rewarding myself once this health issue is over with a new pair of running shoes and a new workout outfit to get going again! From what my friend said , I will have loads of energy. I want to put it to good use!
Sorry to go on and on. I just have to get it out sometimes!
Have a great day everyone! :flowerforyou:0 -
Tamm-I know exactly what you mean about the church thing. We moved to Iowa from TN just over a year ago and I am still looking. Granted, I pretty much took the summer off from church (oops!) but still, I understand your frustrations. I will pray that you find your new church home there. Also, thanks for the encouraging words. You are right, I just have to purpose in my mind not to overeat/eat the wrong things. Also, how is the YMCA there? That is the best gym here in my town, though I know that isn't always the case. Anyway, I hope you find one soon!
Amy-I am praying that all goes well next week and that gallbladder can come out. Good plan with the running shoes and workout clothes. Also, you never have to apologize for sharing with us, we like to hear how you are :happy:0 -
Hi ladies! It's funny how much I miss reading/chatting with you all! I'm not sure if I told you but I'm down to 148.8!!!! so that means my stats are
Tiff
SW 153.4 lb/ GW 143.0/ CW1848. Progress 4.6 lbs YAY!!!
*I ended up doing well on that test i was studying for!!! :flowerforyou: :laugh: And now I have 1 week until my cruise!
I plan to stay active until the cruise and hopefully while I am on the cruise because I can ALWAYS carve out 1 hour to improve my health. I will be gone for 1 week and though I would have liked to be at my goal weight I am going to love myself as I am where I am!! Plus one thing I have learned about me is that the more active I am, the more I like how I look and the less self-concious I tend to be -even if I haven't lost a pound.
SO... this is the week of "last chance" workouts for me! :-D I'm going to be studying and staying active!!! ENJOY YOUR WEEK!0 -
Good evening everyone. I woke up early this morning with a horrible headache. My head felt like it was going to explode. It was worse than the migranes that I get. I ended up taking a bath and that made it feel better, then laid down in bed, then my back started hurting. I'm just falling apart trying to stay healthy. I did good with my calories, and took the day off from exercising. I'm hoping that I will feel better tomorrow, since I have to go back to work.
Tamm- Glad you are doing good and getting your workouts in. Hope you find you a church to go to.
Tiffany- Good job on your test. At least on the cruise you can exercise and you can't have an excuse, because you have plenty of time and plenty of ship.:laugh:
Katie- Girl you can do it. At least your getting your activity in that helps maintain more than if you did nothing.
Amy- Girl I bet you can't wait to get all fixed up. You will feel so much better. Everyone I know told me that they did, when Mom was going through it.
Rhiannon- Good girl to go to the gym. I bet that did feel real good.
Tudorose- You go girl, 1 lb is better than gaining. Just think even 1 lb a week adds up to 52 lbs in a year. I'm mad I didn't work on that last year.
Everyone else, hope ya'll are having a good weekend. Monday is back, :grumble: :grumble:
Have a good night girls, chat with ya'll tomorrow.0 -
Well.... Guess who is back?! Living alone w/ my non- communicating dog leaves me plenty of time to type.... when I am ignoring emptying boxes or organizing which clothes to give away. LOL!!!
Gonabfit (Tiffani) - Thanks for the restaurant choice on my bday, it was tasty. Enjoy the cruise and glad you are feeling confident. Good luck on the next 4 test. Then studying for boards..... you can do it. Pray hard!!! Oh hope you are getting ready for the race. I'm still at 2 miles, once the rain stops Ill do 3 miles next week.
Amy- glad you had time to let us know how you were. Reading and relaxing are always great things to do. I hope your procedure goes well. I will be thinking about you.
Katie- you can do it and there is a YMCA around the corner and a Bally's about 6 miles away and a Golds Gym. I just don't feel like going on all those tours but I think that will be my gameplan for tomorrow. Finding a church home keeps you grounded, I hope that you find one soon too. Meanwhile, I know God will understand if we just read the bible!
Nellie- hope your head feels better!! Taking a day off keeps us grounded. I'm sure you will be so motivated to start again, after seeing Ruby and all.
Well...... :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Lets drink all that water!!!!0 -
Hey ladies!!!
I am back from San Francisco, and I think I did okay as far as what I ate. Cathy - I only had the sourdough bread once!! I resisted!!
I did find a diner though that made the most amazingly delicious slice of hot apple pie a la mode, oh my goodness, I will spare the details but it was heaven!
This week is going to be a bit stressful playing catch up and I'm going to my hometown this weekend (thursday really) for my friend's bridal shower on Saturday so another trip!! Driving this time unfortunately, but oh well.
I'm ready to get back on track and glad to see so many friendly faces constantly posting on here!! I know I for one have been a little missing from the posts and I really want to improve so thank you ladies for being so diligent about posting and making me want to do better!!!
Tamm - much belated happy birthday!! I finally got caught up on reading posts! ha. hope it was a good one.
Will do more personals tomorrow, i'm exhausted and have homework to do for tomorrow yet so I will see you all in the morning!!0 -
My new hair cut
My 8''-10'' donation to Pantene, who makes free wigs for female cancer patients
I don't like my hair short, but I'll get use to it. I was growing weary of the long hair too. Was time for a change.
My weight is creeping up. Emotions are outta control.
Hubby thinks he wants to try to save our marriage now.
I'm not sure if he gets another chance. I'm not sure if he will really change.
I haven't been posting much because I'm in a foul mood. Trying to only write positive things.
Haven't been journaling as much as I should. Just tired of all this. Want a solution and now.
I've really got to pay attention to all my emotional eating. I'm trying but it's getting the better of me.
AmyLou- did you get any photos? see the Golden Gate bridge? I hope the weather was lovely!
Tamm- I am jealous of your solitude. Glad the move is going well!! Unpack when YOU feel like it!! (And thanks for the sweet 'missing you' shout out. That made me smile!)
Nellie - we all have those days where our bodies rebel. I hope tomorrow is much improved!
GonaB- have a BLAST on your cruise! So exciting!
PDX- I hope all goes well with your impending medical tests. I hope they get everything resolved quickly enough so you can be back on your way to being the picture of health!!
Katie - thanks for the shout out. I am not doing well.... gained weight, but only a few pounds. Trying to cut myself some slack. Tough times. But I am stronger and will prevail! I personally hate exercise bikes but I would LOVE to run down dragons! That is so cool!!! I hope you are able to figure out what is driving your eating. I completely understand feeling outta control!!
GEORG -- Hi!! :flowerforyou:
Chipper- how cool that you got to meet Ruby!!!
Pedal- so glad you back into your routine dear. It's hard to get back to when you've been out of it for so long. I really like your reset ticker idea. I am complacent with my weight loss (before my current mess) which leads to less motivation.
Tudor - keep up the great work, doll!! It takes time... be patient. You are doing so well!!
(Couldn't make it any further back than the top of page 3.... starting to get tired!!)
Night all! 0 -
Lauryn, your hair looks fabulous! What a beautiful woman you are :flowerforyou: I'm so sorry to hear that you're having such a rough go right now. There is so much confusion and so much happening. Try so hard to be patient with yourself and also try to remember in each moment of choice how much better you'll feel if you know you're not battling control over your eating along with battling for all the other things in your life right now. Easier said than done but it's just true. I am experiencing the deep moment-to-moment battle of not letting my weight gain drag me down any further. I know where it goes and just CANNOT let it. We're here for you and you can post your anger, sadness, self-pity... the whole deal.
AmyLou, lots of travel! I hope you continue to feel like you're making decent choices. This isn't easy, is it?!!
Tamm, nice to see you posting more I hope that you find places to settle into your new life soon. Leith is well, thanks for asking. He is all recovered and he's slowly feeling more comfortable with me brushing his teeth as of tonight. I know his gums were tender after the procedure, on top of the exposed spots on his teeth being sore for a while before that. I'm glad he's comfortable now and I'm slowly getting used to a slightly different look.
Shanell, I hope tomorrow feels better for you!
Katie, just keep making tiny steps forward each day. And remember that this is not actually easy!!
Amy, sounds like a great weekend! I like your plan to start with some new gear. Sometimes external motivation is just the ticket
Tiffani, congrats on the tests and have a GREAT time on your cruise! Nice timing!!
Kristin, I hope you're having fun with your new little niece!! How's the belly? Have you taken any pictures yet? You'll all of a sudden start changing a TON and it's so fun to watch the progress... :bigsmile:
Katy, where are you??
Robin, how are you feeling these days? Hugs!
So, my current plan is to try to get more sleep. Or rather, sleep during the right hours. I remember learning once that although the actual number of hours do matter, staying up late is still harder on your body than getting the same number of hours having gone to bed at a reasonable time. Circadian rhythms and all So I'm off to bed after this. 10:30 is at least not midnight or later which is the habit I've come into recently.
I did really really well today. Went over by about 100 cals but I was also honouring my hunger and I did drink a ton of water so I know it wasn't thirst. It is SUCH a chore getting my head away from being depressed about gaining some weight back (and being able to see it a little in my face :sad: ) and keeping my head in the moment-to-moment, going with the best choices I can. I controlled the "beast" at the grocery store today (mega discount valentine's day chocolate on everywhere and pre-easter sale chocolate everywhere else!), I started my day with some yoga, got lots of protein and am going to bed feeling really wonderfully in control. Trying to bank this feeling as motivation for tomorrow's challenges. I'm going to the gym tomorrow (possibly mid-day if Kyle can leave work during lunch) and I'll do my own cardio again. It was so easy in the beginning for me but now is the time that I'll show my true colours. I want them to be beautiful! :bigsmile: :blushing:
Here are my meals for tomorrow:
1. 1 cup cooked oatmeal w/ flax meal, 1/2 cup blueberries & 1/4 cup skim milk sweetened w/ stevia
2. 1 large egg + 1 egg white omelet w/ red pepper
3. 1/2 sprouted grain bagel w/ hummus, alfalfa sprouts & tomato
4. chocolate whey protein shake made w/ 1 cup skim milk
5. 1/2 cup (110g) chunk light tuna w/ 1 tbsp vegan mayo, pepper & chopped celery wrapped in 3 large spinach leaves, 1 gala apple
6. turkey burger on 1 slice sodium-free Ezekiel bread w/ salsa, spinach, red pepper & skim milk cheese (had protein pancakes for supper tonight so Sunday's plan is bumped to Monday)
7. 5 cups air-popped popcorn, 1/2 med gala apple
Work Out = 250 net calories, likely C25K or eliptical and abs
I also bought 4 kinds of green tea today. Jasmine, pomegranate raspberry, peppermint & white-green blend. So lovely!
Alright, good night ladies! I've missed you!!0 -
Morning all!!
We in central NC are covered in snow! In the south, that means one thing -- schools out! My work has also been delayed opening until 12 noon (but not announced until AFTER 7am... after I was up, with a cup of coffee in me and my face now full of makeup :grumble: ).
Now I plan to make brekkie for the family followed up by playing in amounts of snow we only see once every 5 years!!
Have a great morning Sixers!0 -
Morning gals!
Lauryn...LOVE the hair!!!!!
Rhainnon...no belly pictures yet...I tried to take a few about 2 weeks ago when I started to get a little bulge, but they didn't really turn out. I definitely have a little belly now so I should probably take some. I'll try and remember tonight. My neice is GREAT! Such a doll! We didn't get to see her much this weekend as we went to my parents house for my dad's birthday, but we will see her next weekend for sure! Thanks for asking!:flowerforyou:
Everyone else...GOOD morning!!! I gotta get to some work, but I'll check back later!0 -
Lauryn, your hair looks FABULOUS! I LOVE IT! You are so beautiful! I hate that you are in such a crappy situation at the moment, but to look at your face, you can't tell it, you look gorgeous. My family in TN has the rare white stuff, too. Most of them have school cancelled as well. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Pedal-don't worry, you can kick those couple extra pounds to the curb. You are strong and confident and YOU CAN do it. Great job yesterday! I agree with you on the sleep thing. With hubby gone, my bedtime hours are mixed up and I am not getting a ton of sleep. I think that may have something to do with my eating. I have been trying to adjust it as hubby will be gone for a while yet.
Ok, I will be back later. So good to see lots of people here this morning and last night. Be back soon. Hugs ladies!0 -
Good morning everyone! Just going to get some breakfast started for the kiddos then do my ab workout. I was apparently carrying around nearly 5lbs of extra water which I got rid of yesterday by actually drinking my water. That helps me mentally because I was starting to worry that my thyroid was screwed up again. Now I'm weighing in at just less than my starting weight for the challenge which feels nice.
Lauryn, enjoy the snow!!!
Kristin, so cool that you can see changes! I'm so happy for you
Katie, did you get more rest? Going to bed at a reasonable time last night has made a big difference to me. I woke an hour earlier than normal and I felt rested for the first time in WEEKS.
BBL!0 -
Morning Ladies,
Lauren I LOVE the hair!!! Its super cute and very flattering....I know what its like to have hubby troubles...seriously....I've been seperated for 3.5 months now....I'm not going to tell you to give it him another chance, I don't know what the issues are....but I just want you to know that I completely understand and I'm here to rant too if you need it. ::hugs::
Kristin, I wanna see the bump!! :laugh:
Hugs to everyone else...I'm busy at work today so don't have much time to write just yet....I did get to the gym and run/walk 3.06 miles!! Yeah!!

Hey ladies; I've set up a new thread for week 3- I know, already?
All the best0 -
Good morning ladies!!!
Today is my last day off, had a 4 day weekend and as Lauryn stated, we got some snow in Va too. So, since its considered the south, most things are closed... or delayed opening. :grumble: Oh well. I am doing some boxes and organizing my soon to be fitness room. I have been using my elliptical but I need to set up a circuit training area/station so I won't have excuses.
Amylou- Glad you enjoyed your trip and be careful traveling back home. Good luck this week w/ school
Lauryn- Your hair cut looks wonderful. Glad you found a way for your hair to bless others. Look at you, always looking out for other people. As for you and your struggles, I know you can make it. Just imagine how many calories that journal is keeping from your body. Don't beat yourself up, as long as you keep communicating with us and keeping one eye on your fitness and health goals, you will survive. I know that you have the power to stand on top of these hard times AND when time passes you will read back some of your entries from the journal and laugh at how it has passed and how much better you feel now. I will continue to think about you!!! Yay, for a happy future!!
Rhiannon- Glad that you are getting back into the swing of things. I'm happy that Leith is adjusting well too, don't forget the gums heal faster than any tissue in the body, so he will be doing better rapidly. Your comment on not beating yourself up about the small gains, was memorable. That is something we can all learn from.
Kristin- glad you and the baby are doing well
Robin- How is the fitness going at the gym?
Katie- hope you are doing better w/ your eating today!!! I know you can do it!
Tudor- Thanks for the next thread, I know who must be ready for week 3! :laugh:
Shanell and Cathy- How are you two doing?
Red/Strawberry- how are things on your end?
Well my breakfast was weird today! I wanted something sweet, thought about pancakes then I decided that my last slice of carrot cake would make me happy. So that was my bfast- I thought oh its like having a muffin. :laugh: Using anything I could think of to make it OK. Then I got a package in the mail from a friend for my Birthday with ..... my favorite. Rice crispies in the shape of a birthday hat. Of course I had that too. Well.... I will do better the rest of the day!!! LOL. Just thought this might show how having a plan can prevent the sweet tooth craving monster from taking over!
Take care!

Lauryn, that's a nice short work day!!
Cathy, sounds like a nice day!
Well, I went to the gym while Kyle hung out with the kiddos. Sadly, today is the day everyone had to get their new photo membership cards so I only got to work for for 20 minutes but it's better than nothing! I did most of week 3 day 1 of C25K and I also did my ab workout and some glutes this morning at home. I'm behind on my food though, big time. Breakfast came later than we thought because Ava and Leith wanted pancakes (I make super healthy ones) so I didn't have time to have my eggs before leaving for the gym. If I'm under I know one day won't kill me, but I'd rather get my nutrients in! Over the last couple of months of being totally off, I've really not taken in the protein I ought so I don't want to slack on that.
We're off to the petting farm by our house this afternoon. Catch ya later!0 -
You guys are so lucky to get snow. It didn't even freeze at my house and it was supposed to snow here too.:grumble:
But, because the snow was so bad up in NY, we weren't that heavy in the warehouse because the work comes from our customer service up there and they had a snow day today, so that just means I'm going to get my butt whooped tomorrow. I also go to the dentist tomorrow to hopefully start on my teeth.
Today I realized I didn't really eat a whole lot. But it was higher calorie foods because I did use all my cals, but I was never really hungry either. I did my work out this morning. Went to FitTV and worked out with Bob in Cardiomax and he kicked my booty,:laugh: .
Lauryn I love the new haircut. Both my girls just got their hair cut short like that because they both wanted to donate their hair to Locks for Love. They both chopped off 10".
Well, just wanted to pop in right quite and say what's up. Been busy since I got home. Have a good evening. Talk to ya'll tomorrow. Good luck for weigh in's.0 -
Be careful Lauryn!!! Glad your day was short.
Rhiannon- Your kids should love having fun w/ you. They get to do some really fun things, you are a great mom!! At least you got 20 mins in. I agree with you about this being the last month I don't use all my resources and tips. It will be warm again soon and THEN WHAT?! I want to love my body or at least be happy with my progress.
Shanell- I hope tomorrow won't be too busy and I hope everything goes well at the dentist.
Well as for me, I took to long to eat between my meals today. Trying to clean all over the house. I need to use a system. First I'm up stairs then down then up. LOL, I'm crazy at times. :laugh: I didn't feel like cooking so I got a veggie plate at my favorite restaurant. CHEDDARs, they aren't everywhere but it is sooooo good and cheap. I get Chicken tortilla soup (tomato based) and 4 veggies for 5.99! But today they didn't have my favorite .... broccoli. OH well.... And I did do the elliptical for 30 min around 1pm.... at least I did that.
Well take care. Good luck w/ the weigh in tomorrow. I hope I didn't eat too much this weekend. But I will do better next weekend promise. :flowerforyou:
Take care!
