Good evening beautiful team. I joined the land of the living today and made it to work. Came home and fell into bed for a 3 hour nap. Ooops! Things are starting to feel better and tomorrow I get back into my exercise routine. Oh bicycle, how I have missed thee!

Thanks for all the well wishes while I was down. You guys are sweet and I you all.

arewethereyet

Thanks Sam!! You ROCK!!!

Lynnie I am so glad you are feeling better.:smooched:

I didnt have time to read all....bbl

Hello to the entire Black team I miss 'talking' to you but chose to use my time to ride my bike.

I love you all!!:flowerforyou:

renae77

Hello all! Hope you all had a great day! I worked 6 hours and went shopping with my best friend and her two kids and then came home, ate supper and went and visited my best friend again at home. Haven't done all that much this evening other than that.

Sam-Thanks for getting all that together! You are great!

Lynnie-Glad to hear you are feeling better! Go ride your bicycle! Woohoo!

Jeannie-Glad to see you are enjoying your new bicycle! I am trying to enjoy mine but right now I am liking power walking sooo much better.

Hello to everyone else and I will lurk around here the rest of the evening!!

The scale treated me like a piece of dog dirt! After all that hard work I did this week I managed to gain a pound. I'm not even going into it and I'm not changing my ticker back up- it's a matter of principle! :grumble:

Heading out for retail therapy. Peace out!

Buy me sumpin!!

I bought myself a few sumpin's but mostly shirts for DH. Every time that man needs to get dressed for something decent he says he has no clothes. Every time we are at the store together and I say buy some stuff he says he doesn't need anything. :grumble: :grumble:

Seriously, if somebody tells me to buy something I am NOT going to argue.

I decided Wednesday will be my mid week non workout day, it works. I was at Lowes at 7:30 and never came home until 2:30. Tiring! Lowes, Kohls, TJ Maxx (where I somehow spent 2 hours wandering, eeekkk), AC Moore, the BX and the commissary. Whew. My credit cards are even more tired than I am. :ohwell:

Wait til poor hubby sees the damage I did buyin' him stuff. :laugh:

I think you need to send me your credit cards for safekeeping--

You can't be trusted with them.


I'll take care of 'em for a while.

I actually should stop carrying them. I wouldn't spend as much money. I like to live in denial, til I get the bill and have to pay it of course, that's usually a grumpy day.

I'm grumpy right now. I had such a good day all by myself this AM. I shopped, I did my own thing. Then I reentered 'kid zone'. The youngest had a friend here 2 nights ago than was at his house last night and he is whiny as all get out. Every time the poor guy opens his mouth I cringe. It's terrible when your kids get on your last nerve. I just sent them all to their rooms to watch TV. Good mother that I am and all.

I am bummed for several reasons, first I did not see the results on my scale I wanted. Second, my hurting parts are affecting my ability to work out and being the caloire burn junkie that I am, it's really bugging me.

My foot has had issues for about 3 weeks but I've been working through it. Obviously it's not that bad or I wouldn't have burned my 5K last week. Now that the knee joined the game it's a little harder. I can't decide on whether to go to the doctor or not. I have a sneaking suspicion it's old arthritis knocking at my door. I sort of don't even want to know. Denial again.

I was thining about waiting until after our vacation and seeing how it's all feeling but then just walking around shopping today it's hurtiing tonight and my foot is swollen. It's making me grumpy already because I know it's going to affect my workout tomorrow.

I'm sure my quest to burn all those calories last week didn't help the matter. Silly me. It didn't affect the scale anyway.

Sorry for the whine, I think I caught it from my kid!

annaliza

leckel, I'm sorry about your pain.

But you should be so proud of yourself. Listen to yourself.....a year ago were you that upset about not being able to work out? Or that the pain you have today will affect your work out tomorrow?

I think youre an inspiration so dont be down and grumpy,,,give yourself some kudos, girl!

SatelliteCrush80

Wow...look at us! We've done such an awesome job!

Congrats, my Black Team friends!

You do understand, do you not, my dear Leckel, that I intended to USE said cards while they are in my safekeeping. Yes?

I wasn't criticizing your spending....merely offering to do it FOR you.

Makes me laugh....It makes me thing about how my mother used to literally freeze her credit cards by placing them in a cup of water and tossig them into the freezer. She used to say that if she got an urge by something she didnt need she would usually come to her senses by the time the thing thawed. What a kook. lol

:laugh: :laugh:

Marla64

Your mother is my new facebook friend.....what a hoot she is!!

Gotta love the freezing idea....

Awesome....and I love the music. I had my headphones on and my daughter was asking me why I was jamming....ha.

I was thinking of you just now during my run....how bright your future is with your family. At your age, taking off the weight, developing a love for fitness....Andrew, my friend, your potential is limitless. I'm envisioning you telling us soon that you're going to train for a 1/2 marathon....

And this is my friend, Andrew, who cracked us all up with tales of your chafing issues...and he's kicking moose butt in a 5k....don't stop pushing yourself, my friend.... better, stronger, faster...everyday.

I'm proud to know you.

I often think what an inspiration you miss be to your 9 kiddos. And how amazing it is that your have nine kids and still don't use that as an excuse. Simply Amazing.

And your right about me pushing myself. These are my better faster stronger goals
2009- Run Two 5k races. Run one 10k
2010-Run three 10k races, Run one half Marathon
2011-Run two half Marathons,Run one Marathon
2012-One marathon and One Iron Man Triathalon.(Swim-2.4 Miles, Cycle 112 Miles and Run 26.2 Miles) Thought I have to admit this one might get pushed to 2013. lol

Now I want to do all that stuff! Well, probably not the Iron Man...but definitely the 1/2 marathon and potentially a full one in the next year or so. I already have the feeling that races are going to be like tattoos...once you do it the first time, it's addictive. :bigsmile:

Oatmeal made with milk + fresh blueberries = one very happy (and full) Shuntae. Yummy stuff.

Have a great day...I'm sure I'll be back!

Excellent....and we'll be able to say we knew him when he needed pasties!

Isn't this exciting....this team is just too awesome.

Shuntae....I was going to buy some blueberries yesterday....good price, but they were all so small and mushed at the bottom. So, I bagged it.

I'll be thinking of you on Sunday....can't wait for your race.

What a team we are!!!!

Morning!!

I have decided not to push myself today. I went to bed with a migraine and woke up with it. I think it's my body telling me to rest. I did 7 days straight with over 1000 calories. I will get about 600 in at my softball gaime tonight. Not going to push it today.

One busy day I have though. I am going to make madison's frosting and fondant for her cake today. My mid term for sign language and then my softball game.

Mid term the teach said should take less then 5 minutes. He gave us the test to study. Wanna know what it is?

"The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs" That's it!

Good morning everyone!
Sam-are you not going to start a week 7 thread? Or did I miss it?

How is everyone today? I'm off work for 14 days starting today! Woohoo!! It's time to head out to the lake for a while this coming week. Hope everyone is doing great!

Sam, listen to your body. I didn't at first in my neverending quest to burn calories, now I think I'm paying for it. I didn't go to the gym yesterday and I'm not going today. *gasp* I've got to let things have a break. I know it, just don't like it.

Enjoy your light day.... 600 calories.... you and I are so much alike! Most people would be thrilled to burn that and we complain- in fact you are calling it a rest day. Silly us!

Supagurl

Good day to everyone and congrats to all on the weight loss!
SAM- i will start sending my info in next week....i didn't know how to do it.....i finally asked lynnie lol lol

no loss this week....but no gain....but that's ok with me.....i'll just work harder this next week....and i'm wonderin if it doesn't have something to do with me starting to walk and exercise a little bit??? i'm hoping that's what it is anyways :bigsmile:

haven't had time to scroll thru the thread but wanted to congratulate everyone and say good job and keep up the good work!!!!

oh....btw....still no donuts and really not even craving them anymore...YES....mankind can survive without them!!!!!!!!!!!!........

i'll be back later.....off to play some softball & volleyball with the kiddies.....hope i can keep up!!!!!!

LOVES TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good evening everyone! It has been a quiet day here in Black Team Land! Guess everyone is working hard today.

Lori-I hope you start feeling better soon! Take care of your body!

Sam-you better listen to yours too girl! You two ladies are very inspiring but we can't be having you two going kaput on us!!

Vanessa-where are ya girl? How is Owen doing? I hope things are going better for you and your baby.

Hello everyone else! Maybe we can catch each other this evening. Did you all see the cocaine post? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/58130-cocaine I can't believe someone actually posted this crap!

Oh yea I was gonna buy some fresh blackberries but they were about $4 for 6 oz. Way too much! Hopefully they will go down or maybe I need to go to a fruit stand or something. This was at the grocery store.

72lori

Morning black team. Slow on here of late. I've been so busy haven't had time for lots of posting. The crazy life continues. I have a list 3 miles long of stuff to take care of and it's not getting any shorter.

I'm off to the gym soon. Gave things 2 whole days worth of rest. Let's see how this goes!

Have a great day all.
