Blue Team WEEK 2

ngwife4life

I never did get around to my grapes and strawberries. :grumble: Nor did I get some good sleep. My husband is away from home and where he is, our cell phone company has horrible reception. His buddy up there let's my hubby use his phone after he goes to bed from time to time and apparently he forgot to tell his wife that he was doing this. Because she called me at nearly midnight and wouldn't say anything, just hung up. I tried calling back and the same thing. I figured out who it was and told my husband what was going on. So, I was up until like 12:30am because some poor woman thought her husband was talking to some hoochie mamma when it was just her husband having a big heart and being kind to a fellow soldier. I'm tired.

Rach - That's tough, I know it is. I was 3 weeks from getting married when I decided to leave my ex-fiance. I just knew it wasn't right and it was what I needed. One week later, I met my future husband. :happy: I'm not saying that will happen to you but you just never know what's to come! I wish you the best in finding peace and happiness!

I'm currently searching for motivation to work out but I think I'm gonna have to keep digging deeper!!! Have a good Monday, everybody!

Well my bf and I are calling it quits. It's been a looong night of hugs and crying....my eyes are so puffy this morning I didn't even recognize myself. I'm completely broken-hearted right now, but I think this is what we need at this point.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's hard, but you seem like a strong woman. You'll be okay. Congratulations to you both, though for realizing there was a problem and putting both of your happiness first. I hate to see people in relationships that they know they shouldn't be in for some reason or another. I know it's not easy to do, but it's not worth it to not be 100% happy. I hope your week gets better. :flowerforyou:

Sorry to hear that Rach :frown: At time its for the best! Now your starting fresh! :bigsmile:


Back from the long weekend now. It was quite busy... didnt eat the best but I tried to eat smaller portions.. We will see what the scale says on weigh in day! haha

RachVR6

Thank you all. It's tough, but I know it's the right thing. We knew it was only a matter of time before it would happen. We've always had different opinions on things like marriage, kids, etc. Things I see as very important in my future. He really is a great guy though, and will definitely be a part of my life I cherish.

On a different note, I got pulled over on my lunch break. Doing 40 in a 25, completely in my own little world, but luckily I was given a warning. :ohwell: I did contact a few friends via myspace and facebook today though and apologized for putting them on the back burner throughout this whole relationship. I feel a bit better having done that. I hope they understand.

I have a feeling I'm going to be way under my calories today, but I'll try my best to get in a decent dinner. Thanks again everyone. :flowerforyou:

a true friend will love you no matter what - I am sure they are very happy to hear from you.

I hope you are keeping your chin up - think of this of a new beginning for you...focus on you seems like you've been so worried with helping him that you sometimes forget you are the most important part....

chrissyh

so had a good weekend - I consider it successful when I got up saturday morning with my hubby and we went to the gym together --so far I only get him there about once a week but its so awesome when I do... finished day 1 of week 3 c25k...even added in a couple extra laps of jogging at the end

then we went to my daughters track meet--she's going to state in 4*200 and 4*400 relays - they got a silver medal in the region (2nd Place) - WAY TO GO BAY!!! I am very proud of her.

Sunday - we overslept after being out so later for the track meet that lasted forever due to lightening so we missed church had a relaxing day shopping for some baseball stuff my son. Stayed within what I like to be at for calories and got my water in.

Went to gym at lunch today finished day 2 of week 3...no extra time had to make it a quicky...will take my strength class tonight - I love that class it's a new launch tonight so it will be new routine....

Keep working hard everyone - stay focused on doing what's best for your health....you know just for the health of it....:laugh:

chrissyh

leigh - it sounds like you are a lady with a plan - good for you...I know its a bitter sweet feeling but it sounds like what's right for you....way to be strong!

ShariStickler

Is your Blue Team open for members? If so can I join? I am just starting up again after being off track for awhile, I could use the support. :flowerforyou:

mnichol

Hey...I got on the scale this morning, just to take a peek because my jeans felt looser, i lost 2 lbs. yeah!!! i hope they stay lost when i officially weigh in on wednesday!!!!:bigsmile:

hmo4

Thanks! I'm looking for strength to make it through the week without gaining 10lbs!:grumble: All it is is going out for free fancy high-end suppers, drinks, etc. I will try to exercise though everyday if I get time. :flowerforyou: Man, I pigged out tonight, i was soo hungry from being outdoors. And, I am a cow!:sad:

You are too hard on yourself. You needed to eat those calories because you burned those calories while working outside. You will be fine girly.
Hey still looking for my passports so I can come up and see you. Then we will workout like crazy. :drinker:

Find it! I need your motivation!!!:smooched:

This Rach, in the long run is actually good. You'll be ok-women always prevail. I was 25 with 3 kids under the age of 31/2 when I got divorced! It has been the best thing for all of us, even my current hubby. (he was on the road to distruction and after some time, fighting and tears, he changed his ways). He credits us always for how he's turned out. His other family-nightmares!!! This will be good for you in many ways. Be strong, we're always here for you. Kath

I have been doing good with my calories :bigsmile: and my water 1 liter so far today :drinker: I need to exercise still. We have been waiting for the warm weather and we got it that is for sure. Now its too hot. I know always complaining but I don't know if I can run in this weather. Ugh. I will try however. Maybe the kids will ride bike while I jog. Have a wonderul evening everyone. And for the ones who has wonderful weather enjoy.

Rach: ditto on what all the previous posters said. Keep your chin up. It will probably be raw for awhile, but just give yourself time to heal.

In other business -

Had a great weekend. We're prepping to move into a new townhome so did some packing for the upcoming move. We've only lived here for a year so I'm still amazed at how much stuff we have here after we trimmed last year before moving east. Now I know why my parents didn't move for 15 years :laugh:

Otherwise, I rested on Saturday and worked out on Sunday - had a great time with my three boys just hanging out. I didn't journal my food on Saturday, but I think I did okay over all, despite a binge at the pizza parlor :ohwell:

j_g4ever

Holy cow it was about 95 here in Minnesota and just humid. My body just can't handle that. I did try to run 2miles however ended up walking most of the last mile due to feeling really light headed. I can't wait to get the Wii Active that is coming out. That way I can run while being in the central air. I think I'm going to do some ab workouts tonight they need to be worked on. Maybe some theigh stuff. We will see what happens.

Hi Rach - endings are always hard but you'll be happier in the long run. Well done for doing what you know was right

I'm back in my old jeans - more motivating than any numbers on a scale :bigsmile:

ShariStickler

Hi - I was wondering if I could join your blue team? I need some motivation & support.
Just let me know what day weigh ins are? I weighed on Monday I was 279. Ouch hurts to actually put that number down in black & white. :sad:

chrissyh

Come on in!!!! Welcome

chrissyh

I doubled up on exercise yesterday - at lunch I did Day 2 of Week 3 of Couch to 5K, last night I did a new release of the Group Power class-my butt muscles are still asking me what I was thinking....

Down a little on the scale this morning - so good to see progress...

Keep working hard and making smart healthy decisions everyone.

Rach - sending some love your way...
Jess-that's HOT-we've been in a cold spell so it's only been in the 60s - we're having lots of needed rain
Welcome Joesgal!
becbec-hope you feel better soon - rach was battling the same thing recently.
lorro-old jeans rule don't they....I am at the point where I have no more smaller clothes and about ready to go down a size - I can zip just a tiny smidge tight so I am waiting about 3 or 4 more pounds before I go buy more....cool to need new clothes but so expensive.
mnichol-way to go
hmo4 - if you've survived all you've been thru, you've got motivation - let it out - let it roar baby!

ShariStickler

Thank you. What day do we report & who do we send it to?
Wow...great job on your weight loss. Looks like you will definitely hit your goal.
:flowerforyou:

chrissyh

You'll do great!

I just added you as a friend. Will weigh in tomorrow. You have my starting weight. Yikes. But I will hang in there.

Feeling MUCH better today. I went and talked to my mom last night and told her I'm going to be moving back in this weekend. Since my brother is in the Air Force now, I'll get his old room, and she's going to let me take the space thats available in the basement to set up for working out. I kinda sat there and planned out my immediate future.

My main focus is finishing school and throwing every penny at these student loans. I want to go back to doing P90x at 5am because I was the most consistent and saw the best results when I was in that routine before. Then if I find myself wandering to the kitchen in the evenings for comfort, I'm going to go running. (A big plus of being back in a sidewalked neighborhood :bigsmile: ). I might possibly do the C25k on my strength training days.

I'm going to put a mini-fridge in my room...I know that sounds bad. My mom fills her fridge to the brim and its all tacos, pizza, hot dogs etc. Last time I lived there, I'd buy healthy food and not be able to find it! :noway: :laugh: So I'm going to keep a little fridge just for my fruits and veggies so they're easy to access.

I feel better having a plan of attack, but this whole process is pretty scary for me. I haven't been single for longer than a month at a time since I was 15. Mostly due to my reliance on others to provide me the love that I don't give myself. So I'm preparing myself to do a lot of soul searching and self discovery over the next few months. :flowerforyou:

way more important!!! way to go!!

Checking in to say I'm doing real well on my eating, drinking water, and exercise... hope to see some good numbers this week hehe (oh I'll be crushed if I don't LOL)

RachVR6

I can't wait to fit into some of my old ones!!!

JoyousMaximus

The best feeling ever was when I was able to fit into jeans I hadn't been able to get past my hips since jr.high. Nothing says success like it.
