    :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: .....
    Up quite a bit this week, bah and to think after Christmas i was below 150!! Not sure how I gained either because i've been kind of sick lately. I don't know if I have a touch of the flu or what, but let's just say food has been going through me pretty fast? sorry gross. Haven't quite figured out what it is, have had terrible stomach cramps with it too and would blame it on TOM if I hadn't been just last week. Been trying to stay hydrated and see if that helps but just feel so tired too so that doesn't help, especially when I have so much homework to do!! Boy, you think Stress might be a part of it?? :huh:

    Anyway, enough complaining, i need to get to campus. Sorry i haven't done personals lately. This afternoon I promise!!!!

    exactly the same :grumble: but i guess that is what i get for slacking in the food dept. BUT I have really been kicking butt in the gym... so that is probably how I avoided a gain :laugh: personals later... presentation now... :heart:

    Yay! I'm still not convinced that I'll meet my goal for the challenge but I don't mind that idea. Tiff like you said the other day, I have some other health and fitness goals that do not revolve directly around the scale so I really do feel less pressure about it.

    Cathy, it can be so frusrating seeing a gain and not knowing why but we all know what we need to do :wink:

    AmyLou, don't stress any more than you already are. Just keep up with the best choices you possibly can! :flowerforyou:

    Tiff, good luck with your last day of studying!

    Em, I hope the presentation went well!

    Kristin, you go girl!! Eating well and making smart choices means you can rest easy that it's healthy weight and it will come off without the same kind of fight as unhealthy pregnancy weight gain! :happy: :flowerforyou: :heart: That u/s is coming right up isn't it!!!

    Well time for us to get going with our day. Ava's baking bread this morning all by herself so I need to get the ingredients out for her :bigsmile:

    Have a great one ladies!!

    Kristin, are you bloated? Swelling? Your uterus may have more fluid it in now for baby growth reasons too. As long as you are still eating well, don't stress the weight gain. You will still fluctuate. I'm super proud of you for charting your weight gain during pregnancy and pacing yourself as much as possible. I know my biggest downfall was not knowing to watch my weight. I think you are doing super great! :flowerforyou:

    Cathy, thanks for posting a cleaned up list.:flowerforyou:

    Rhiannon, how cool you are letting your 4 year old bake!! I am impressed.

    Rhainnon...yep...the ultrasound is this Thursday! I can't wait!

    Lauryn...thanks!:flowerforyou: I figured I need to hold myself accountable for what I gain...yes, some of it I have no control over, but the choices I do make will impact the rest. I must say, I do give into my ice cream cravings, but otherwise, I make sure to get in lots of fruits, veggies, and dairy. Plus the needed protein and carbs. I'm not too worried! It's just amazing to see how quick I can gain it some weeks as opposed to others!

    Heya Stephanie, just so you know we usually copy the whole list then update our own stats within that list so that it's current. Sorry about the disappointment at weigh-in but we learn something from each of our steps back, right?? :wink:
  • Hi Girls. :flowerforyou:

    :heart: Kristin. I love checking out your baby ticker... so interesting to see what develops when etc... :laugh: i am such a dork!!!

    :heart: pedal. you are kicking butt -4 lbs... CONGRATS!!!!!!! :drinker:

    :heart: stephanie... no worries about the gain, just get back on track and the lbs will come off again...

    :heart: lauryn. how are you?
  • :heart: chipper & amy lou... no worries about the gains... you girls got this!!! get back on track and you WILL see a loss next week... I hope I will see one too!!! :flowerforyou:
  • :heart: B. No worries, the weekend / monday's I can't really get online anyways! BUT I am here today and we need to get our butts in gear... chin up girl. Tonight I am doing cardio kick boxing for an hour... then eating a veggie filled dinner... I will be a bit under on the calories today... but monday was a BADDDD day... so I figure it will all even out in the end...!!! :heart:

    Gosh, not many of us weighing in thus far today. I'm posting the list so I can find it again later.... I am debating working out after work today (in a half hour from now). My dad is in the hospital with heart issues (will be in most of this week, at least) so my schedule is a little off, couldn't work out during lunch. I have no energy to work out (thanks to stress and horrid amounts of pollen) but I need to do something, I think. We'll see. Might not.

    Sorry So brief everyone... Today I did: Jillian Micheal's 30 mins at 8 a.m.
    Just ran 3.4 miles = 30 mins quick study break.

    Back to Studying! :heart: Have a great Day!!! I'll be back tomorrow after the test!!!

    Tiff, love the new pic :happy:

    Slow times around here! The group seems to be dwindling.

    Well, despite my stiff muscles I did a 3.7km run today which felt AMAZING. I'm so glad I did it!! It felt amazing to run and really helped move the lactic acid out of my muscles. I've been SO HUNGRY the last two days though. It's quite something. My HRM reported my race as a 1000 calorie burn (in 58 minutes) but it seems wild to me that I'm still so hungry today. It's also TOM now though so maybe it's hormones. I chose to go with my hunger today which did put me WAY over calories but it wasn't binging on junk, just eating much more than I usually would. But I've had these moments before and it seems that when my body is REALLY asking for more food and I listen to it and remain attentive to the signals. I've had great balance lately but I still feel a little jittery about going over in cals, hence the explanation :laugh:

    How is everyone else's Tuesday going?

    whoooo.... down a half pound. Might be more, I've been eating stir fry the last few days. I made it here, but it still has a couple tablespoons of soy sauce per serving, so there's a whole day's worth of sodium. I did make the last batch with lower sodium soy sauce, but I don't like the taste as much. Have managed to get DH out for a walk twice in the past week. If only I could keep him out of my chocolate chips! He's got the major carb addiction going on, and does good, but then slips up in the evening. I found out he's even been eating my secret (or not so secret as the case may be) stash of valentines candy! I still had half a bag a week ago, and now it's almost empty. He knows better than to empty it completely, because if I go to get a piece and it's all gone, I'm going to be a crabby crabby woman!

    Just stopped by before bed... hmmm been up here a few times to glance at what you ladies have been chatting about..

    I just wanted to say... Expect goooood things in your life. God (or whomever you believe in) never gives you more than you can handle... Life is truly a blessing. Though we are in a battle with our weight, we must remember that each day is a GIFT and we better unwrap that present and enjoy it RIGHT NOW. As we are. No matter how many flaws we have... cause we have ONE chance at this and we don't get a do-over. Live life to the fullest and find Joy in your struggles!
    the way I figure it... life never slows down so we can catch up... so these trials and tribulations ARE life. And I think there is always something to love and enjoy... it's our job to find it!

    gotta go to sleep so I can get up and rock this test tomorrow! :heart: you all!

    that is what i needed to keep my head straight. it is something i needed to hear that God doesn't give us more than we can handle. i i think sometimes it helps to just tell him when i can't handle it anymore. love the new pic. you are jumping so high. good luck on your test.

    everyone else you are all doing a great job on keeping the gains rather low....just think they could have been higher if you weren't on here and knew you had to report. great job to the losers. keep up the great work. sorry for no personals i have been in just a funk and with the job loss. speaking of...lauryn hows your job hunting going? ours is going. he's out now dropping more resumes. he has dropped at least 10, I have dropped 5. will be going to temp services next week. and had told him if nothing happens by the middle of next month i will start applying at fast food. anything to bring in some money. weight loss dept is going also. the cookies are gone. yes, i saw to that last night after popcorn. but, they are gone. DH saw to it that the bread from dinner was given to the dog. must be telling me something.
    well, need to shower and get some things done around here. strange being without a car, like the old days.

    later :heart:

    I guess I will weigh in today. Didn't make it yesterday.

    My dad's in the hospital with heart arrythmia. The heart cath resulted in no blocked arteries, which is a good thing. Now they are performing a cardiac MRI and an EP study to see why his heart keeps slowing and stopping and then racing. He's only 49 but has a laundry list of health problems.

    The job market sucks. Looking at available jobs, or the lack thereof, is depressing. At least I am resume-ready. :ohwell:

    Estranged Husband is getting on my last nerve, if I even have one left for him. He vacilates between sending me cards and caring actions trying to win me back, to being super angry and a jerk because I left. I'm sick of the emotional rollercoaster.

    My mother likes to eat dinner around my own bedtime.... so I had a terrible dinner out at a restaurant from 9p-9:45p last night. I bit my tongue when Mom asked why the cafeteria would dare close so early (at 7pm)! I will get back to normal eating habits as soon as I can. Living with unhealthy eaters who refuse to acknowledge my (trying to be) healthy eating habits is terrible. :indifferent: I will probably be eating out dinner the rest of this week while Dad is in the hospital.

    Not looking to see a loss today. Hoping not to have gained.

    Cathy, glad you're finding Tiff's quote helpful! I know you can get out of your funk :flowerforyou:

    Lauryn, that's brutal. I have such a hard time understanding how people could NOT be supportive of such efforts... Sorry to hear about the ex issues. That sounds like a very rough road.

    Wishing everyone a great and successful day! And WHERE IS EVERYONE?!?!

    Hello ladies! Hope everyone is hanging in there... I know some of you are facing scary personal things, and my heart goes out to you. But, you are all stronger than you realize, and you will all find your ways through these things. Keep the faith, girls.

    Today, I tried a video workout... Jillian Michaels: Cardio Kickbox... I downloaded it from Netflix instant queue. I was a bit disappointed, because it said it was 29 minutes, but only 20 minutes of it was actual workout. Bunch of time at the beginning where she was talking about how she was going to push you, and blah blah blah. It did shoot my heart rate up, my high was 188, average was 169. I like the idea of the instant queue thing and will be looking to see what other workouts I can find on there. Its funny though, I don't mind going to the gym and working out, but I feel weird doing it at home, and don't want to do it when anybody is here and might see me lol.

    By the way, I think I was right about the sodium yesterday. I stepped on the scale today, and was down a bit more than yesterday. I'll keep what I posted on there though, and just have an amazing loss next Tuesday... I'll be happy if I'm back to my starting weight at the end of this challenge.
  • Hey Ladies. :heart: Just a quick check in... meeting @ 2 PM... but I hope all is well with you girls... I did the cardio kick boxing class last night and it was GREAT... then we made black bean burgers... and carrot hummus... :tongue: YUM.... so overall a good day... I had a slice of pizza today BUT I only had one slice and I still have a ton of calories left so that is okay... i guess. Where is everyone? Hope all is well! :heart: Check in thursday AM. :heart: em

    I don't think I will ever in my life lose any more weight. All I have done for MONTHS is sit on the fence of 158-162. Part of the problem is my complacency. I look so much better than I have in a decade, and I like it. I shouldn't. I should strive for more. The other part of my problem is my current life, stress out the wazoo. I've gotta learn to adapt there.

    I either need to work out more or stop the night time binge eating. Maybe if I literally put duct tape over my mouth it would help? :noway: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I went for a run in the pollen clouds today. My contacts are kaput -- glasses back on. The pollen does a doozie on my poor eyes. However, the run was FANTASTIC and really helped my mood!!!! I am so glad I went. A little good music and a hard workout on an already tired body actually made me feel better.

    Maybe I can focus and get work done now.

    I feel ya honey.
    If you are able, work on just maintaining. Don't backslide and gain any weight back. Just hold steady. Keep working out. I PROMISE that is the ONLY WAY to keep your mood from becoming horrible. Take out your frustrations during a workout.

    Hey ladies Sorry haven't checked in. Been on the computer, but I got myself addicted to a stupid Farm game on Facebook. Also, have been running back and forth to the hospital to try and test my daughters urine. They lost the first test, then tested the wrong thing for the second test, and finally got it right the 3rd time around, but still don't know what the heck is wrong. She has been complaining of a tummy ache for over a week now. She has her ups and downs with it. Don't know what to do.

    Well, as you see, I gained this week, but I tell you what, I'm pretty good at this maintaining thing.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: , better than gaining I guess.

    Hey Lauryn, when you coming to Charleston? We will definately have to get together. If you bring your daughter, let me know and I'll bring mine.

    Rhiannon, congrats on the race. Great job.

    Tiff, great job on the exercise. You are doing so great.

    Mom, are you still running? I think that's awesome. I noticed after you posted that Craig and Derick were out running.:laugh:

    B, cheer up girly. It's gonna be alright.

    Em, I love seeing the pup picks. He is to cute. I love big dogs. I have 2 pits now and had a collie before them.

    Kristen, great job on the GAIN!!!! I can't wait to see my girlfriend at her baby shower next month. She is due June with a boy. I feel bad for her because she just lost her dad and FIL during this pregnancy and it was her dad's first grand baby. Plus, she was laid off her job during her pregnancy. Poor thing.

    Anyone I missed, hope all is well. Have a great night. Later.

    Cathy, GOOD LUCK tomorrow for your DH! :flowerforyou:

    Lauryn, I sure hope you find something to apply for soon. That will be an important relief. :flowerforyou:

    I MUST take tomorrow as a rest day lest I tempt over-training this week. I just can't stop... SO MUCH ENERGY! And I decided it was time for me to put my ticker back to acknowledge where I started from. I don't feel like it will be a hindrance anymore and I'm proud of how far I've come and of being back on track!
