    Hey ladies... Its that TOM for me so I don' t know where I literally stand. But that's my weight for the beginning of this challenge. WE can do this.

    Rhiannon- you know I want to do the counting of our removed points/ or potential removed points. How does everyone else feel about it?

    Well I had a long day at work today... came home to do a step video for 40 minutes. Then I cooked spinach, cabbage and squash (baked) for dinner. I'll cook some meat tomorrow.

    Take care ladies,

    Today I finally got the scale in that I ordered, and it turns out that I weigh 171 now. Last time I was weighed was about a month ago at the doctor's office, which is where I got the 174 from, so should I just have 171 for my weigh-in today then? If I do, I think I want to change my goal weight to 161 then.

    Well here's the changed list then:

    Hi Sixers!!! I've added myself to the list but don't have access to my scales since I'm in LAS VEGAS BABY!!! I'll update with weights later. We fly back tomorrow. I'm sure I've gained, due to super stress, but I'm not worrying.

    Good Morning Ladies

    How are you? Well this morning, I am off to a good start. I did Level 2 of the shred video. 20 additional crunches and I've eaten an apple.

    Yesterday was the last day of my fast so I'm worried because I can eat more foods now. I haven't planned to eat anything today beyond popcorn and fruit because My friend's birthday dinner is tonight.


    I will log everything though.


    Have a good day ladies!!!!!!!!

    Woah it has been over 4 days since I checked in with you wonderful ladies!!!!

    To explain myself, this past weeekend was my birthday weekend and I had to make my cake, and ALL of my food at my mums house plus my best friend drove in from Maine with her bf and stayed with the bf and I. So it has been crazy busy, and crazy unhealthy... T_T I ate a lot of unhealthy foods and pretty much got zero exorcise. So I didnt meet any goals at all. sigh.. not good for my first week on this.. in fact it is rather sad.. T_T

    SOOO here is my results sorry they are a little late.

    Kristin, hi there! I can't believe you're already 17 weeks!!!

    Cathy, I understand how you're feeling. Sadly, my optimism about my day was unfounded and I totally allowed myself to tank but I cannot let anything stand in my way. The next step is the next step and not related to my mess-up. You can do it :flowerforyou:

    Well, off to drink some water and put the laundry away. I'm going to the gym tonight for the cardio class I love so much (which I've not attended in MONTHS!). Looking forward to it!!

    Hey Sixers! I'm busy with work and then trying to get some stuff done around the house. Just letting you know I'm peeping in! I have been eating pretty well. Its a new month with warm weather... so I jogged today. I need to keep up some high motivation!

    Take care girlies!

    *PHEW*! ...I recovered well from my earlier flub. But I can FEEL that I'm taking on water like a boat with a hole this week and I don't know why. Thinking it may be time for a trip to the doctor.

    Okay, so it doesn't seem like we're really "doing" this anymore, but here are my meal plans for tomorrow:

    1. 1 egg & 3 egg white omelet w/ red cabbage & salsa (SO tasty!). 1 gala apple

    2. vanilla protein shake made w/ 1 cup skim milk & 1/2 cup blueberries

    3. almond-hazelnut butter & banana (1/2) sandwich on 1 slice whole wheat bread, carrot sticks

    4. 1/2 sprouted grain bagel w/ 2 tbsp hummus, 1/3 cup alfalfa sprouts. Chocolate protein shake made w/ 1 cup skim milk & 8 strawberries

    5. organic turkey burger on 1 slice sodium-free Ezekiel bread w/ 2 tbsp salsa. 2 cups baby spinach & red pepper salad.

    I come in with 4 calories, some sodium and some carbs to spare and a hair over on protein and fibre. No workout scheduled for tomorrow but I may start my day with some push-ups to get my muscles working. I feel so fed-up seeing the scale slide in the wrong direction. I feel like I'm fed-up ENOUGH now and so I'll wait for time to tell. I think I have a fair bit of convincing to do for myself. How in the world did I knock 50lbs off my body in just a few months but am climbing SUCH a big hill with myself now?!! Thanks for listening :flowerforyou:

    Hey ladies!!

    So I am up super early so I can adequately prepare for a REALLy busy day. Going to campus a little early to day to work on some of my research, then class, then going to the wireless place to switch companies and get a new smart phone!!! My old little blah cell phone of 3 years (yeah, i know, 3 years?) finally bit the dust and the screen quit working yesterday. Then I have a meeting with my advisor, a phone interview for an internship that I don't think I will take because I've already gotten a better offer, and then our student association meeting. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! And at some point today I need to get some studying done but that seems unlikely.

    Going to try and have a good eating day, oatmeal this morning but then after that I'm not sure as I was talked into going out to eat for lunch. I've been doing that way too much lately!! But I also need to get groceries so that doesn't help my cause any.

    so anyway, before I bore you anymore with my overwhelmed-ness I'm going to get off of here and get the day started.

    Rhiannon-as always,your menu sounds delish!

    Be back later sixers!!!

    Okay, so it doesn't seem like we're really "doing" this anymore, but here are my meal plans for tomorrow:


    agree. i think it might be more than just doing meals. :frown: . i think once you stop doing a new habit, the old fall back into place super fast. i just had 2 bad days and now having to struggle to keep them at bay. i was shocked at the scale reading this morning. i know with dedication it will come right back off. so with that said i have a workout planned for today to kick it back off to a great result in the end. i know i will have these bouts with this again, but, i need to learn to get back to healthy more quickly.

    nothing planned for me today. DH is off to georgetown (1-2 hrs away). so, i will do some cleaning and a great workout on dvd today. it's raining so a good day to stay inside.

    later :heart:

    chipper. i know how you feel. ugh. :grumble: a bad weekend ... turned into a bad monday... and so on... so today I am hoping to keep it together... it is just soooo easy for me to mess up and then the entire day slips away.... :indifferent: but today is a new day and we can do this! :flowerforyou:

    amy. good luck with your busy day... and don't let the eating out get to you... just make smart choices (easier said than done... i know...) :drinker:

    pedal. i think i am going to start copying your meal plans! YUM. :bigsmile:

    drtamm. warm weather!!!! yeay!!! i LOVE when I can get outside again and run!! :flowerforyou:

    everyone else. have a great HEALTHY day... lets make the rest of this week count! :heart:

    Chipper, Redsox, I totally understand u guys! don't worry we will all have a good day soon im sure!

    Amy- HOLY COW!!! and I thought my life was crazy busy. your everywhere! I only have 6 major papers to write today, plus work, plus cleaning apt, plus remembering to eat, plus trying to fit in gym. oh and sleep.
    your day though.. wow... i bow to you haha!

    So yesterday.. didn't go quite as I planned.. things ended up getting crazy busy at the end of the work day. then home was even crazier... my ferret got stuck in wall for four hours!!! T_T I didn't think I would ever see him again. To explain there is a hold under one of the cabinets, the contractors just didn't fill it or whatever, Anyways, my boyfriend, grant, had friends over and one of them pulled out the blanket (more like corner of an old fleece blanket, I cut it up and stuck it up there so the ferret couldn't get in the wall. and it has worked perfect and you couldn't even tell it was there) because he thought it wasn't suppose to be there. Well when I got out of the shower I was looking for my boys to play with them (my two ferrets... ones named Ranger the other Gage.) I found Ranger right away but I couldn't find Gage for over half an hour, and I only have like 900 Sq feet to look through and over 200 of it is blocked off. plus another 100 or so cannot be reached by the ferrets. So I started to freak out, I was looking in his chair (its an arm chair that has a hole in the bottom that I filled with blanket so they could have a place of their own) when I heard scratching in the wall.

    Needless to say, I was a mess four hours later when he finally came out of the wall.
    by then it was close to 11 pm and I reallly did not want to go work out.

    Good news though!!!!
    I ordered a couple work out DVDs yesterday! im super excited to get them in a week!!!!

    K sorry for such a long post! im lonely at work today and super tired.

    <3 u sixers!
