T.H.E. (Trying Hard Every day) Team - Week 17

jamielbeck

Hi Team! This week has been crazy! I still haven't had the chance to get caught up on the posts. The past 2 days I have not planned my meals which has lead to me eating very sporadic or not that healthy. I'm disappointed in myself. Today was an improvement from yesterday...at least I logged. I ate wendys for lunch. :noway:
I had to run errands over lunch and the subway line was to the door so thats what I got. ugh. now my belly isn't feeling the greatest. We are leaving tonight to drive out to dayton so I hopefully will be able to log on while we are there and say hello. We are taking our laptop just have to make it connect to dial up when its used to wireless...thats the bfs department.
I hope everyone is having a great week! I am sorry for being so MIA. This is the last weekend of traveling for...Thankfully!

Good afternoon everyone, looks like we've all been chatty since I was on here last!
LI4G-when I can find the name of that chair workout I've been doing, I'll let you know...It's great! Finally feel like I'm doing something again, even if I can't walk.

Lauri!!! Welcome back...I missed you! :flowerforyou:

So I go to the doctor tomorrow to have my stitches removed, and hopefully can upgrade to either a cane or crutches. I'm pretty excited about that, because this walker's just too big and bulky, and I need to be able to get back to work. I haven't left my house in 2 weeks, and I'm getting stir crazy!!

Welcome to all the new members, you'll love this group!

Dwray - hope all goes well tomorrow! We will all be thinking of you! :flowerforyou:

Tomorrow is weigh in day. How do we post that? What is the format? I am hoping my scale moved a little this week. I worked super hard today and I am beat. I have a Dr appointment tomorrow to check on the awning over my knee, to see what it is. I am hoping it is just excess fat and will go away. Well I hope everyone is doing ok. Take care.

Good Afternoon

Jamie - busy girl you are. It is hard too cause work is overloaded here. Have a relaxing and safe trip.

DWray44 - as Jamie said - good - luck tomorrow at the doctors. Hope you get tons of good news.

April - to post it goes something like this yourname - sw (starting weight - when you started mfp)/ gw - (goal weight)/cw (current weight) for example then your loss or gain
indianagranny - sw216.2/gw160/cw187.2 -1 loss

if you want you can lst your bmi the same way for example
indianagranny - sbmi34/gbmibelow30/cbmi30.4-3.6 loss

then we keep a running list and carry it from post to post. if you don't understand just ask or LI4G or Adopt4 will be along to explain better here. You will see tomorrow

Anita - horse poo is heavy - that was work.. hope that don't happen again

Sheila - hope your day with your daughter went fantastic.

Running out of time here. Day went ok for me. My friend stopped by - I have a battle on my hands - he is in a mood that is not good. He goes the 16th to a specialist and we go from there. I know what cancer and even this kind can do. I know the attitude can't always be good but I have to try to get him to accept it and deal with it from day to day - minute to minute right now. Does this sound wrong?
No exercise for me today but I logged everything I ate or will have eaten by midnight. If you look it is logged kind of funny cause I just went in and grabbed i tfrom the places I knew it was already logged. I slept good - going to work is not even bothering me today but it is that time and I got to go.

Have a good night - gotta roll

Wow, ya'll have been busy little posters in the last 24 hours.. :laugh:

Indiana- Thank you so much for honoring our teams families in the walk, you are truely a wonderful, sweet person! I would like to add 3 names to your list. Virginia Merrill (my mother) who is a breast cancer survivor of 16 years. My great Aunt Nina Cates, who passed away at the ripe old age of 90 after fighting off breast cancer twice. And, my very dear friend Naomi Rhodes, who has been in remission for 6 months after an ugly battle with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.

Sheila- I'll be starting a new thread for tomorrows weigh in and will post a link here to the new thread. Its pretty easy to see the format of how we post our results, but it typically goes like this:

Name- SW (Starting Weight)/ GW (Goal Weight)/ CW (Current Weight)/ Total Lost or gained for the week
BMI: SBMI (starting bmi)/ GBMI (Goal BMI)/ CBMI (current BMI)/ Total BMI points lost

Dwray- Best of luck tomorrow getting off the walker!! Im glad the chair workouts are making you feel good again too!! Keep it up girl!

Swignal- Best of luck to your daughter with the American Idol auditions! That would be so much fun to watch!! Me and the kids are big fans, so I hope we get to see her!! That would be awesome!

AS FOR ME- I am in the process of baking cake again. This time for Morgolis's birthday BBQ on Saturday. Ive had to completely get creative with this one because its gonna be harder than the other ones Ive done, but definitely awesome! Again, its a surprise for him so I cant say "what" it is gonna be yet but its taken me alot of brainstorming the past week to make sure it comes out looking the way I want it to.

The babies are hilarious. They run around on the floor now and love to climb all over us and play. Mama kitty has even consented to them being outside thier box now, but they can only get out if one of us lets them out. For now anyways. Its hard to believe they are 3 weeks old already. :sad: I thought we had 3 boys, but now that Im looking again, its pretty hard to tell. I know for sure that Opa is a boy, but the other 2 are hard to tell, so I may have to look it up on the web. Never thought I would have trouble telling boys from girls, but they look so much alike at this age.. LOL!

Gonna go to water aerobics tonight again, cept this time Im not doing the laps. My arms just dont wanna go there and since I have the cake to do tomorrow, Im gonna take it easy. Will be going to the gym in the AM also to get in my hour on the elliptical.

Be well....

Welp, so much for going to the gym for water aerobics.

Hubby called from his parents to warn me that there was a huge storm coming our way. I went out and move everything off the deck up next to the house to get it out of the wind and within 10 minutes we had high winds up to 50mph, thunder and lightning.

I had to take my oldest to babysit about 2 miles away and saw 2 trees fall in front of me (one was just a bit too close for comfort!) within a block. It started hailing on my way back, blowing crap out of the trees (my allergies are gonna LOVE this!) and it took me 20 minutes to go 2 miles back home in my van. Ugly!! Ugly weather!

As of now we still have power, but my satallite for the TV is out, so no exercise channels either.....that leaves me with option #3.... my Walk away the pounds dvd!! Guess I'll torture the kids and turn off thier movie so I can git er done!

Kristi - I meant to give you this for last week's weigh-in:



You are sooooooo completely ROCKING the fitness boat and your success is inspiring and contagious and makes me smile really big!

Just wanted to get that in before the next weigh-in.

And I have sooooooo enjoyed the encouragment everyone has shared with each other this week! What a great bunch of folk you are - I feel privileged to be amongst ya

Okay...Picture this:

I'm on my hands and knees typing this. Why?
I had a painted table and chairs for sale. However, I'd given my daughter my computer desk, and started using the table.
Last night, a local store owner came over and bought the set. And I'm (temporarily) left with no desk! So my monitor is perched up on top of some plastic drawers...
The mouse is on an end table. But no room anywhere for the keyboard...except the floor.
Fun.
And this explains why I haven't said much today.

Weigh-in tomorrow...Whoo-hoo!
I'm pretty sure I lost a pound this week...
(I cheated and weighed myself mid-week.)

dWray...Wishing you wonderful news tomorrow.
April...You'll see...Weigh-in isn't too bad. Easy to catch onto, and if you have problems, someone will help you out.
Hello Maria! I know all about the technically challenged. Glad you're feeling a bit better. The first few days are always the hardest...

Another cake. More pictures, please. And kitty pictures, too...

I painted and rearranged furniture most of today. Lots of "natural" exercise.

Tomorrow, I go to start the appeal process for disability. This will involve lunch out with my folks. I love my parents. They're two of my best friends.

I'll see if I can rig up a table tomorrow...This is a wicked way to post.

Good night all...
