Someone please put me out of my friggin misery. I actually called off work today. I can't remember the last time I called off sick. Every muscle in my body aches.

I never get sick! It's turning me into a wha-baby!

72lori

Poor Lynnie! Feel better sweetie!

Andrew- super job on your 5K. You ran really fast that is so awesome.

April- way to resist the donuts and fulfill goal for the week

Renae- keep working out, you are doing great.

I know there was more.... hmmm, I forgot what I read.

Good morning all you skinny minnies!! I have to get to work but wanted to say hello before I do!!

Hello!!:flowerforyou:

72lori

Oh yeah! Sam. I am struggling a little bit with what to eat with working off so many calories too. We'll figure it out. Great job on your bike ride. How do you guys make it so far? Doesn't your behind start to hurt?

Jeannie- I sure as heck hope the scale does me right this week. I'm skeeaired. I think I have myself convinced last Wednesday was a fluke and I won't see the results I want this week. I'm just not sure. I haven't been on the scale to monitor my progress, so I really have no idea.

This no scale thing is getting easier. I have thought about it, wondered what it says, and yes, even really wanted to just peek, but I'm not stressing daily over the number I saw that morning and allowing it to affect my day. Instead I don't know, so I figure the worst and work my hardest.

I try and remind myself of some weeks that I've watched it go up and up and then by weigh in be almost the same as it was the week before. I think back to all the unneeded stress I brought on myself by obsessing over it. Just last week on Monday I was 156 and flipped off my scale and told it where to go, Wednesday I was 151.2. How? I have no clue, but that's what it said. (See why I"m sweating over that number?)

That number on the scale can be a great motivation when all goes well, but for me it can be a great mood killer if it says wrong. I know all about weight fluctuaion, I know all about water weight, I know all about TOM weight. Just because the 'smarts' part of my brain knows all of that doesn't mean the 'oh crap is that what the scale just said' part of my brain communicates with it. Wonder if those little snap out of it smileys can go live in my brain and set it straight as needed?

Anywho! I couldn't wait to wake up this AM and see this! I've been waiting for the little mail icon on my HRM to be there today with my weekly report.

Ok, good morning everyone else! Sorry I wasnt around this weekend, just stayed really busy doing things outdoors even though it was sooo smothering hot and humid:grumble: But, that just meant that we took alot more rest and water breaks on the tennis court this weekend.

I hope everyone is doing well, I didnt get to read back to much on the threads. Have a lovely Monday Black Team:flowerforyou:

Good Morning Team!

Andrew - Congrats on your awesome time and Happy Late Father's Day.

Lori, Sam, Renae - You girls rock! Way to burn those calories.

Lynnie - Feel better soon! Your bi-CYCLE needs you!

Marla - good luck with your meds. I hope they can find something for you with less side effects.

I was really tested yesterday with my challenge this week. I was doing a shred workout. I was getting really hot, so I figured I'd take my t-shirt off since I was in my own house and just wear my sports bra with my shorts. While in a plank position, I was getting a perfect view of the additional sking that I have on my belly. It was great motivation to give myself a sit up challenge....

72lori

Ahh, challenges. I forgot my music when I left for the gym. Big challenge for me. Big. I still did it. I promised my foot a break this week, so I rode the bike 5 miles and did the stair climber for a mile. I do not burn as many calories as my run/walk combo thing I have had going and I spent the same amount of cardio time. Here's the thing with running. I don't so much love it but it burns so much better than other stuff- hence the appeal for me.

Alrighty folks, off to hop on the ellptical cause 550 caloires burned from the gym is NOT even close to making me feel satisfied that I had a good workout. Burn baby burn.

I almost forgot! I was getting a drink of water at the gym and I said hi to the lady beside me. We exchange hellos but never really talk. She said to me 'You are really looking slim and trim these days.' I coulda hugged her!

That's the stuff it's made of- not the dumb number on the scale.

Agreed! You should be super proud of yourself!

I know Lori, right???

I feel great today because this weekend I went with DH to get a bike at Walmart. While there I remembered I needed pantyhose.

Pick up the box..........run my finger to the last time I bought them Q and then all the way to the righ to A

I am an A and they fit and feel great!!

I am so glad I found MFP. You all are the only thing different this time. THANKS!!

Jeannie

72lori

Ok Jeannie. I am in Florida too. You are saying that pantyhose feel great? Are you insane women! It's a hundred freaking degrees and so humid it's hard to get air. :laugh:

But I will definately congratulate you on wearing a size A. That is cool.

Hey Black Team!

Hope everyone had a good weekend! Mine was nice and relaxing, so I am glad for that.

I'm starting to get really antsy for my race this weekend, now that Andrew and Bobbi have done theirs already. It's really starting to sink in now that I am actually going to do this. Wowzers. Right now, I'm still more excited than nervous...hope I stay that way.

Have a great afternoon!

Shuntae, you are awesome. Actually all you 100 pounders are. I am struggling to hit my 50, working my butt off and you guys that have lost 100 or more are still kicking it and have the most amazing attitudes and are such a great support.

100 pound people rock!

Go Shuntae!
Go Andrew!
Go Roni!

Hey Black team! Sounds like everone had a busy weekend! I finally got to go swimming yesterday, Well, actually, i got in the pool and ran around in circles cause the water was COLD!!! But I figure running in water will burn some serious calories. My daughter went swimming with me for the first time that she could acutally enjoy it. She is completly fearless!! She wanted to keep jumping into the water from the ladder as long as someone was there to catch her. Talk about a scared mom!! I was afraid I was gonna miss her! Didn't really do any real exercising, but did the swimming, a lot of cleaning of the house, and tonight we have a softball game. I will pick up with the exercising tomorrow and hope to have a great loss this week! Have a great day ladies and Andrew! :bigsmile:

Update on Owen:

We need a couple prayers if anyone has any spares. He's still sick and getting more and more sick by the day. Brought him to the doctor today, they're testing for ecoli, parasites, salmonella, etc. At work today, but only breifly and only because there is no one else here who can work my accounts. (backup is out today too). Tired, headache, didn't get my 3000 calories in this weekend. 750 though. Starting to feel like my house is covered in a flim of diarrhea and vomit. Blech. Scared for my little guy. BF says it's all my fault... I'm not sure how. And he is no help what-so-ever. I need a pick-me-up badly. Sorry for the downer of a post. Really REALLY hope everyone else has a better day than I'm having!!!

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I'm so sorry to hear that Owen is sick. I will definatly be praying for the both of you. This is not your fault no matter what the BF says. Stay strong for your little one and stay focused on him while you deal with this. Take care and lots of prayers headed your way!

Vanessa, Prayer said for both Owen and yourself. (((Hugs)))

Hello all!!

Got out early and did my bike ride. 15 miles in 90 minutes again. Got home the girls and hubby were ready to go shopping. I got new running shoes. YAY!!!! gonna wear them all day today so they are broke in so I can run tomorrow. Scale was still up this am but I'm not worrying about it until wednesday morning. Then I might be a little PO'd.

Other good news. Hubby needed lunch on the run so he got McD's yeah I was good didn't order anything but had 1 bite from each of his sandwhiches. One FLIPPIN bite!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: then came home and had some apple slices.

Hope everyones day is going good!

Vanessa I hope they figure out what is wrong with Owen. Tell that Effin BF that this is NOT your fault.

72lori

Sam, I thought about you today while I did a measley 5 miles on the bike. My backside was hurtin'. I kept thinking you must have buns of steel to tolerate 15 miles.

Vanessa, sure hope the little guy gets figured out and feels better real soon.

I burned my 1,000 calories today that I told myself I would. Let me tell you, it wasn't easy peasy. Bike 5 miles, stairclimber 1 mile, ran 1/2 mile, elliptical 5 miles and lifted. Geez! I was starting to think I'd have to give a kidney to hit the 1,000. Durn foot better feel better fast!
