    Hey team, burned a little over 1100 calories today. You'll be proud though, I already ate 700 calories back and haven't even eaten lunch yet. I have eaten 3 times already though. OK, that seems so wrong... but I did! English muffin with Laughing Cow before the gym, Protein Bar as soon as I got home before I jumped on the elliptical and, Kashi Go Lean Crunch, Skim milk and a banana after the elliptical.

    See Jeannie- I'm fueling, I'm fueling!

    To springboard off of last week, I am going to be positive about my first real temptation of sweets thus far. There is a box of giant muffins sitting behind me, and I think that churros are the dessert for our lunch today. I am stronger than the sweets even though I am really hungry! :grumble:

    BTW, Good morning all.

    April- Yes, June 28 is the day for my 5K. Not nervous anymore, just excited!

    June 28th is a great day!! Think of me eating cake as you run that 5k! :wink: It's Madison's Birthday!

    Lori- I seem to be following your foot steps with the calories burned because if I go for my jog tomorrow this is how many calories I will have burned from Last sunday through tomorrow (6449.94) that is saying I don't clean the bathrooms like they need to be. :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    I also stepped on the scale after my bike ride and saw 170.8. that is almost 3 pounds I have lost since wednesday. I think I have found my groove again. I might even be under 165 by the time we go on vacation.

    I got my strength training in for my arms today. Helped hubs put a new hanging light fixture in the livingroom. I also swept and mopped the whole house! I think I am going to do a good scrubbing on those bathrooms and be D-U-N DONE for the day!:yawn:

    Hi everyone! You all seem to be having a good day today. I haven't gotten my workout in yet today because for some reason when hubby is off all we do it go go go. But I will get something done and it will either be running or bicycling. Have a great evening!

    Greetings team--

    Grandma just left-- hubs is gone for 2 weeks with Sarah--

    If you see me hanging out here too much, slap me--

    Can't slip back into the bad habit of lurking here--

    It's been a busy week, but nice getting things back into perspective and being "mom" more than I was--

    Heading to work-- love to all--

    Vanessa - hope your boy is feeling better - no fun to be that sick..

    Marla - curse you for making me go into your profile to see Sarah's head cover.. good thing you posted it there, the curiousity would have killed me..

    Dang Andrew - I don't know how you resisted the ribs - all that willpower is doing you good...

    Hugs to everyone. I am feeling yuckier everyday (I think the pain meds make me sick to my stomach and give me a headache), but have an MRI scheduled for Monday night - so at least I will get some kind of diagnosis. Need to get better for soooo many reasons.

    Messed up on the challenge today because K wanted an ice cream cone as we passed our favorite ice cream barn.. damn.. no willpower...

    Hope you all are doing better. Janie

    Hey ladies (and gent, if you are so inclined...)

    We have two weddings to go to this summer and I really like this dress...more than I want to spend, but it may be a possibility.

    Opinions?

    Thanks gals, I am going to go looking in the mall after I get paid...hopefully I can find this one and like the way it fits. I really like the blue, so that's what I'm leaning toward. Don't normally do straight dresses, but no sense in not giving it a shot.

    Sam-Hope you had a great day. And good night since I missed you today.

    Shuntae-Very pretty dress! I hope you love it so you rock it girl! Blue is my favorite color and it will look awesome on you!

    Ok I spent 30 minutes playing badminton and 1 hour 35 minutes power walking and burned 1050 calories this evening. The humidity is so high out here tonight. My whole shirt is wet! But I feel good and am now off to get a shower! Hope you are all doing great!!! Woohoo!!! And still have not had any candy or sodas. Yay!

    Shuntae- great dress. Do it.

    Marla- I agree with lurking on the message boards, sometimes it seems like all I did/do. I make a point to only come to this thread, I don't spend as much time doing it then.

    Sam- that is a lot of freaking calories! I thought 5,000 was a hard reach.

    Jeannie- glad I can help get your rear end movin'

    Janie- it will get better, hang in there

    Renae- way to burn those calories! It's hot as heck here too.

    I way overdid it on my calories today and I honestly don't care. It's the first I've indulged and not felt 'guilty'. I'm working my tail off this week, so I figure it's no biggie. We went to Outback and I ate more than enough (bloomin' onion, bread, salad oozing in ranch, 6 oz sirloin, baked potato, and mushrooms) and then to top it off still had a sweet tooth and got an ice cream cone at McDonalds.

    Fine, so I may have eaten all the calories I've worked off right back, but yeah, oh well. I figure I still have 4 days to kick that pound I want to see gone. Sort of. I want to take off Sunday, we'll see if I can hit my 5,000 goal tomorrow. 700 to go.

    My only regret with my dinner choice was that I now have some butt kicking reflux going on. Fire extinguisher please! I can't seem to find TUMS, guess I haven't used them much since I lost weight and never restocked when they ran out. Go figure. I used to always have them on hand. Isn't it funny how you dont' even realize stuff like that?

    Lori, do you have a peppermint? Helps me everytime. I keep candycanes!!

    Lori-Thank God for Zantacs! They are wonderful for acid reflux! I learned to love them pills when I started having stomach problems. Turned out my dr didn't know what she was talking about when she told me I had acid reflux. I did have it BUT she failed to tell me that I also had gallstones out the wazoo! And that was making me sick! But you dinner sounds wonderful! Wish I had me some of that steak right now even though it is late. I haven't had a good steak in well over a month now. You are still doing awesome and isn't it good to have a down day too? I still have right around 900 calories or so to eat and it is way too late to eat anything big. May eat me some fat free ice cream or some orange sherbet.

    Jeannie- no peppermint, I usually have Breath Saver mints around, but for some reason I didn't buy peppermint, they are spearmint. Blah. They make it worse. It will be alright, thanks.

    I still don't feel guilty about eating the way I did. I do however feel GROSS! That'll teach me to not feel guilty. It gets you one way or the other every darn time, huh?

    I'm sure. Funny you should say that, I've always wondered about mine. I had a lot of problems my mom had and eventually her's turned out to be gall bladder and once she had it removed she feels so much better. I will say losing the weight has helped with most of my reflux/indigestion issues.

    The bloomin' onion is a big ole blommin mistake- onions and I don't really get along- but I ate it anyway. Glutton that I am. Although I have eaten cooked onions in other stuff I've made recently and been fine. Maybe it's the onion and incredibly high fat content I'm quite sure I ingested. Blah.

    It's sort of like the morning after a drunken night of stupidness... right now I'm thinking 'What did I do?'

    Ah well, it's all good. Can't decide to head to the gym or hit the elliptical. Regardless I want to knock out at least 700 caloires so I can do nuttin' tomorrow.

    Happy Saturday Black Team.

    I am really lucky that I dont get heartburn too often, but I believe a bloomin onion would do the trick:laugh:
