Hey Black team!!! I did something I never thought I would do again last night!! i actually RAN!!!! I couldn't believe how far I could go! I burned 523 calories yesterday. I was so proud of myself! I hope I can get out and do it again today!

Wtg ! I've learned to love my run! Keep it up.

Marla64

Great job, Jenni-- it is awesome how the mind shifts and that which you thought you'd never find remotely enjoyable, and was downright loathsome truly can become part of your very being--

I can't live without my running these days-- it is as good for the mind and soul as it is for the body--

Andrew-- how you feeling, my friend?

Jenni...Good job on the run. I know how I feel when I run. Makes a world of difference on body and soul.

Thanks Marla and Jims.....I will wait until 6 week check-up to determine my true weight!!:glasses:

And we are thinking of Noah or Samuel. My son is Joseph Timothy (we call him J.T.) and I just like classic names or boys!

The middle name will either be Barnett or Evan(s)...those are both family names on my husbands side.
So, Noah Barnett or Samuel Barnett or Noah Evan or Samuel Evan....We will see what happens! Could change completely. Oh and Noah is also the name of my mother in laws grandfather.

Hey Tam - 13 lbs at this point is great! Don't forget that not only do you have the weight of the baby, but your blood flow increases and the amniotic fluid weighs 3 - 5 lbs too. So all you have pretty much gained is related to the health and growth of that sweet little boy you're carrying. :glasses: That is great!

Thank you for that!! I have made it my goal to eat plenty but don't overdo it and I am also still active with my workouts. I also feel like I have gained at least 1 or 2 lbs in my boobs alone!!!!!:laugh: :laugh:

Ok guys, I think I figured out how to get my 200 calories in without putting too much work into my legs, which are killing me I think i'm going to do some upper body/ab "circuit" like workout until I hit 200 calories Woo Hoo!!!!

I was thinking about counting hauling 5 bags of groceries, two gallons of milk, one 12 can pack of slim fast and a 30 lb 2 year old up two flights of stairs, (in two trips) but I'm not going to. :laugh:

I'm feeling amazing and I've never gone this long without going over my calories and i'm totally pumped to get skinny!!!! :bigsmile:

Way to go! Just like Marla and Andrew, I am a convert to running and I love it. Really and truly saves my sanity some days.

Marla- I have a confession to make...broke down and ate a cookie that I really, really, REALLY wanted yesterday. Not good, I know...but now that I had it and got rid of the craving, I don't want them. Got back on the wagon today and feel great about it :bigsmile:

Great job, Jenni-- it is awesome how the mind shifts and that which you thought you'd never find remotely enjoyable, and was downright loathsome truly can become part of your very being--

I can't live without my running these days-- it is as good for the mind and soul as it is for the body--

Andrew-- how you feeling, my friend?

Still out of commission from a work out stand point but I think I am better off not pushing my luck. Doing good on my eating and who know's this lack of work might actually shake things up for the body. I might have been over doing it.

:laugh:

Marla64

I also feel like I have gained at least 1 or 2 lbs in my boobs alone!!!!!:laugh: :laugh:

To your husband's dismay.....NOT!!!!!

Yep-- listen to your ailing, aging body--

Seriously-- you've been kicking booty-- taking a couple days off to heal won't kill you--

Well, my child--

Repeat after me-- oh, Marla, I am heartily sorry for having offended thy challenge. And I detest my cookie eating weakness because of thy just disappointment. But, most of all, because it offended you, oh, Marla-- who art all good, and deserving of all my loyalty-- I firmly resolve with the help of thy encouragement, to eat cookies no more, and to avoid the occasions of sweets.

Your sins are forgiven-- go in peace.

Hello ya'll!! I know I have missed a lot but right now I am not in no mood to read anything to catch up. So sorry ya'll!! I missed chatting with you today. Did anyone take any notes for me? Lol!!!! I'm tired and fussy this evening.

Girlmom282109

So Marla do I get something for not breaking down and eating a cookie or something? :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I have been eating peanut butter crackers and yogurt and sugar free jello like mad though. All with in my calories!

Hello everyone, I was unable to reach my goal of burning 200 calories today, due to this screaming MIGRAINE HEADACHE :sick: , but I did manage to burn 100 calories. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow.

Great job on the 100 that you did get in with a migraine. I used to get those alot and I am now just realizing that I might have been getting them becasue I was obese. I can't remember the last time I had one.

Hope your head feels better!:flowerforyou:

renae77

Yea and i have to work the next three days! Ugghhhh!!! How much can one person miss when they work 12 hour days? I will have too much reading to do by the time I get back!!! Someone should take notes to keep me informed. Shouldn't that be done by our fearless MASCOT???? Lol!!! That way I can stay informed!

Thank you very much for helping me out! I hate to miss anything this great!

Hi Renae, good to see you! Your looking fanTAStic!!:flowerforyou:

Thank you very much!!!! I am getting back on track now. I am loving your team!

Marla64

Sam you get the good doobie award for faithfulness today--

Shuntae-- good job on the pudding.

I'm hungry and out of calories:grumble: -- well, not really true-- feel like nibbling and am out of calories, and it's pouring and I must, must, must get my typing done tonight because I have early morning appointments. So running shall have to wait--

So, how sick is this-- I took a bite of a pancake-- buttery, no syrup-- chewed it up, then spit it out. I didn't want the calories, but I wanted the taste just for a moment. :noway:

Crazy, freakin' day-- :ohwell:

Ummmmm YUCK!!! :sick: :sick:

Probably something I would do if I didn't have any calories left though!!!

Marla, chewing it up and spitting it out... I haven't so much done it, but I have definately THOUGHT about it, so I say nothing wrong with it. A girl has to do what a girl has to do.....
