Here Comes Summer - Week 7

Jackie_W

Good morning all :flowerforyou:
I had a great week, losing 4 lbs, but then the weekend hit, I had trouble with my son - he forgot to take his medication for 2 days, and I ended up the brunt of it
I comfort ate - without realising I had :explode:
I know I've put weight back on, but I'm refusing to even step on the scale - too horrified at the idea of it telling me I've put way too much on!

Anyways this is another week, and I am determined to work harder and lose this horrible weight for good!

How's everyone else doing?

Good morning Jackie...

I agree with Jenny, Kathy and yourself... i need to step it up this week.. and really give this a kick start.. i have set my profile weight back at 11stone, so im really gonna give it my best to loose 5lbs before my holiday!!! 6 weeks and counting!!! :drinker: Luckily they have a gym there, sooo i will be able to keep up the fitness.. as well as doing a few lengths in the swimming pool! go me! i hope!!!

As i previously said on week 6 i am thinking my arms are getting bigger due to weight training.. Jenny gave some great advise to do more cardio and more reps with smaller weights.. currently using 8kg on some weights.. Bahh.. so i have my meeting with my fitness instructor on friday to *kitten* how im doing.. this should be good so i know where im going wrong/right! hopefully i will be able to get my BMI reading too!

:flowerforyou: Jackie - I hope things get better with your son, dont give up and be stong! I know you can do this!! Just keep walking!!! :glasses:

Lovely weather today so im in a cheery mood and ready for another great workout...

burnt 550cals yesterday! Boy was i pumped!!! :laugh:

Hi all,

I have been yo-yoing from 159 - 162 for the past week. I wanted to lose more since I was on a roll. HOWEVER, my body just won't let me lose that fast. OH WELL:grumble:

Last week end was not as successful as the past but, I am not giving up. Things will get better.

I have not taken out my summer clothes yet. I'm dying to see how they fit. I sure hope I have to buy some new sets. Not happy about spending the money but, I will be happy to see a smaller size.

Kathy

Hi all! One step forward + two steps back...happens to all of us! DON'T GIVE UP! Fight the fAt! Don't Feed it! Baby steps- I have learned not to be a perfectionist and when I slip up I just get back at it- in the "old days" If I slipped up I'd continue slipping for weeks and then start all over again- WE KNOW BETTER!!! Get better every day! We 're worth the effort! :happy: Let's continue to take good care of ourselves! My progress is coming along- the BIGGEST and BEST thing I've done lately is not eating before bed. It's made a world of difference- not always easy but just this one step has been keeping the scale moving in the right direction- Angela

I was contemplating on going to the gym or not today. It is so nice out. But, after reading your post has helped me decide to go. I have been diligent on getting to the gym at least 5 days a week, but, today I wanted to back out. HOWEVER, I'm not.

:flowerforyou: Kathy

Last night had to be the worst night of my life.

I was driving home from my sons. I noticed three dirt bikes a few cars behind me. I noticed them because one of my grand sons has a dirt bike. Well as I was making a left turn I heard one of the dirt bikes rev up his motorbike. While I was turning, I looked in my side mirror the motorbike was doing a wheelie heading straight towards me on my left side as I was making the turn. He hit my truck. I stopped immediately. When got out of the truck. The bike was down on the road. He then picked up his bike and tried to leave the scene of the accident by pushing his bike towards railroad tracks. A lady who saw the accident said he went under my rear tire. I was so upset you can not believe. The police and ambulance came. I stayed with my truck while the police were talking to him. I was in total shock. They convinced him to go to the hospital. I just can't believe what happened. The police said it was not my fault. The young man was totally at fault. All I can think of, he was so into making his wheelie that he did not see I was making a left turn. He just wanted to pass on the cars. It is just a terrible thing to go through even when its not my fault.

I hope you can understand what I typed my hands are still shaking.

I am so sick I just can't eat or think.

So that is my mess of the day.

Tanya :drinker: Congrats on the 2lb weight loss!!! Way to go!!! keep up the good work! Hope your daughter gets better soon x

Always, Katherine

jennyeckel

Kathy my little sweetie pie you poor thing! What an awful night!!!!!! Katherine is right it will get better but that first couple days after an accident (no matter what kind or whos fault) is going to be kind of edgy! My last accident I was trying to pass a tractor when he decided to turn and it was right into me!!! I opted for a plowed feild and it was soooo scary!!! i totaled my car and got severe whiplash but amazingly enough that was all. the farmer didn't even stop but hightailed the other direction---I didn't think a tractor could 'speed' away but it did! i was shook up for a couple of days!!!!! I am so glad that YOU ARE ALRIGHT!!!! HUGSSSSS I am with Katherine I would fly right over to you too!!!!

Well I got rained out. BUT i got all of the rocks I picked placed just as it started to sprinkle! Now if my sis in law would call I could go and get my wrkout done!!

I am FULL of beans today hahahaha!!! I think time zones are hilarious!!! I have no idea how they work! i am lucky to know what time it is in my own HOUSE !!!:bigsmile: :bigsmile: You should totally come to the US!!! There are so many neat things to see and do! it would be hard to choose though! Isn't funny that I want to go to UK and you want to come to US hahaha I love where you live Katherine!!!!! It is one of the most beautiful places on earth!!! I lovedddddd the ocean!:bigsmile:

jennyeckel

hmm that was wierd it posted when I wasnt finisshed! My goodness even MFP thinks I talk too much ahahahah

well maybe that is the sign to sign off hahah!!!

Keep your chin up Kathy ok???!! YOU will be ok!!!!! Try to get enough cals in though and protein! It can be hard when you are shook up but it is IMPORTANT!

JACKIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :bigsmile: :bigsmile: where are you???

loves to each and everyone of you beautiful wonderful women!!

Kathy - So sorry hun, sounds like you had a really bad experience with the biker - they make me so mad, ducking in and out of traffic, and doing stunts, its always an innocent bystander that gets caught up in it :explode: I truly hope you're feeling better after your shock :flowerforyou:

Good Morning Everyone,

So my daughter is doing better, she does have a virus though. She's not a 100% yet though so my husband stayed home with her today. I can't keep missing work, she gets sick a lot. Well, she's 2 and in day care so I guess its going to take some time until her immune system can fight all these things.

Once I lose all the weight I need to lose, I want to cut my hair short and get blond highlights. Right now my hair is medium length. I should post a pic of me soon. I'll have my hubby take a pic of me today or tomorrow and I'll post it up.

Tanya

Feeling better today. One day at a time.

Well, its official, I'm an emotional eater. It did not take me long to start eating everything in site. I think it has passed. "sits crossing her fingers as she types.":noway:

Hope I get back on track to respond to you all. I can't blow it now. Summer is so close. I don't need my psyche to go back to bad habits. I'm working on it, because I went to the grocery store and wanted to buy, chocolate, ice cream, ring dings etc. But, I got my pink gloves out and saved the day. I know I fell of the wagon but, I up and running it again.

Thanks to all for the encouragement:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Kathy

jennyeckel

good for you resisting temptation at the store! I am proud of you Kathy!!! Just keep those gloves at the ready and you will be fine!!!!:happy: Emotional eating is hard to break. It is highly addictive and what is worse is that you don't always clue in on you doing it! Just something we all have to work on I think!!!

Did a good workout today even though I am crabby and feeling blah yuckkkkkyyyy. What did us women ever do to deserve this affliction????!!!!:noway: :noway: Oh well.

Jackie Katherine tanya and all the rest of you sweeties have a good night. I am going to BED yay me hahah i am pooooooppppeed out!!

Realistic Goals for May:

Lose 4 lbs.
Get back to the gym at least 5 days a week.
Drink the 8 glasses of water.
Stay focused on my health.
Stay positive.
No late night eating.


I do not want to gain my weight back. This is such a struggle for me. 2 steps forward 10 steps back. I really have to change that.

Hi Eeveryone,

Its hard for me to exercise but I've been doing good. I have a park with a lake close to my house and I have been walking around the lake lately and also when the weather is bad I've been doing the My Fitness Coach on the Wii. We'll see how my weight in will be. Hopefully with all this exercise the pounds will start coming off more.

Tanya

Hello all :flowerforyou:
Been painting again today Once I get the bug, I really have to paint everything :laugh:

Kathy - I was fine last night, still couldn't sleep well though, but after the extra painting today, I fell asleep this afternoon in front of the tv :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Having to prop my eyes open with matches to make dinner :yawn:
Good luck with your may goals - think I need a plan of action too, all the calories I burnt up yesterday, and I didn't lose a single ounce :noway:

Tanya - hope your little girl feels better soon :flowerforyou: I wish i had a lake near me, I'd be there every day (weather permitting).

Hope everyone is well :flowerforyou:

Good morning everyone,

So I was bad last night:mad: . I did excersize a little, not as much as I should have and then we went out to dinner with my in laws to a Mexican Restaurant and I drank like 3 cups of Sangria and had a apple martini:drinker: . So everything that I did that day to maintain my calories and my work out went down the drain.

I am going to try to make it up this weekend.:happy:

Tanya

plantlady99
