    So I totally let it slip my mind that Fridays are a new week for here and I didnt weigh in or anything. oh, well will do that tomorrow morning. My friday is going okay. The day is a bit slow....but oh well.
    Congrats on such a great weight loss MissV VC!! That is soooo great. I doubt I did so well....What can I do to re motivate myself to go back to the gym. I know I have to get the the shoe lady and find out the proper shoes so I can help fix my knee. I have the worst pain even after a few mins on the treadmill and I think that is my problem. If I cant do my cardio I dont like going. I dont mind weights but running really is a stress reliever. I might need to get there Monday (shes not there on weekends)....but definately need to do some sort of workout in the meantime. I didnt hit my weight loss goal in the time I allowed myself but I am not beating myself up about it. Just pushing forward and hope to see some progress very soon.
    I hope everyone has a great weekend....and give all the love to your daddys and husbands if they are fathers. Have a good one!!

    hey everyone....weekend is here!! hope you all have a good one and a nice fathers day to all the hubbies, father's and role model daddies.....what would we do w/out our men? :wink:

    WELCOME to green team squib...glad to have you along on our journey.....visit when you can, and wishing you much success! we are here for you!!

    kitn ~ i know what you mean about the treadmill. actually, i think the treadmill is a harder workout than on my own outdoor walk/jog. for some reason on the blacktop or rock roads is easier physically for me, and i can go faster and farther. i also think that joggin and running is hard on our knees, no matter where done, and joints overall. i know if i dont keep at it, i am sore and achy the next day. but i do get better results with jogging. hope you can get your shoes soon. i would just do some power walking until then, something aerobic. hey, enjoy the anniversary sunday!! :heart:

    well i have a couple of things for the challenge this week...... 1) NO chips 2) tricep exercises. i must have 5 bags of chips in tne house now, and chips are my downfall. and the flabby, flappin arms...just do something every other day thru next friday. if you guys want something else, just put it out there.....i am fine with whatever!! ok, so no salty, crunchy snackin and get firmin' your wings! :bigsmile:

    Well, I survived babysitting my nephews. They are full of energy, and I kept up. That is new for me. About killed myself playing tetherball with them (in a good way). Did have pizza for dinner, but tried to eat it slowly and enjoy every bite. Otherwise, I did very well food wise.

    Ha ha ha i guess I confused some.

    I went and got hypnotised on Friday. The hypnosis is called the Hypnotic Gastric Bypass. It basically is telling your brain that you cannot eat more then a certain amount or u get sick. The portions are 2 oz each. So, 2 oz ding bean.....2oz meat....2 oz rice whatever I eat it has to be in 20z oe 1/4 cup increments and high in protein / lean meats. 3 times day unless I workout. I can have as much liquids as I want, so if I want a smoothie, or protein shake or juice or whatever I can as long as it's in my cals.

    I did it yesterday and seemed alright, had a smoothie when I had that sweet craving and kept it within my cals.

    Will let ya all know. Oh and I weighed yesterday at 232....I am 230 today, so I am fluctuating crazy right now.

    and on another note. The new wedding dress came in in the correct size.....a bit snug to get zipped, but that is not the worst part......my back fat is bothering me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The dress goes really low in the back...I am taking it with me to my grandma's and gonna see if she can take it from halter to over the shoulder straps....I think that will help to bring the back up for me.....

    Anyone with any ideas on getting rid of the back fat let me know. I know target workouts don't work, but if I could get something done here. I have 1 month!

    Good Monday morning GT!! Let's all have a healthy week and really try hard at our wt loss goals....WE CAN DO IT!

    had gatherings at my parents and inlaws yesterday, and over ate x2! at least i didn't feel sick tho, like last week one day. :frown: leftovers were sent home and we already had some of our own, so our frig is packed.....looks like i won't be cooking for the guys for a couple of days! :bigsmile: this will help me stay on track too. also, am hoping my cycle ends soon here....had a horrible weekend with it and 3 accidents. i know it is diff for everyone, but how long does pre/perimenopause last? i am going on 4-5 yrs of this and the last year or so has been horrid. keeps me 'homebound' at least 2 days now every 23-31 days. :grumble: my 'real' mom had a hysterectomy at 46 or so, and they really dont do them anymore.. my dr wants me to have an ablation, but they are not guaranteed. have had 2 ultrasounds and 1 biopsy. all say everything is ok, no fibroids, no endometriosis, no cancer. tired of ruining underwear, and never knowing when...the 'flooding' is by far the worse. i am basically stuck on the stool for 6-7 hrs at a time..... birth control is not an option. :ohwell:

    sassie ~ this whole lifestyle change IS a total head game!! i agree...and the hardest thing to change, our mindset. i would have a chef and a personal trainer if i could! oh, and someone to either guard the kitchen or have a locked door to the frig and cupboards paddlelocked!. glad it is going good for you. re the back fat. yeah, there really isn't any one movement that will help, cept lots of cardio, but doing squats with your arms raised (maybe even holding 5-10 lbs) above your head does work all the back muscles....some people cannot even do this move without a lot of practice, or work up ot it. another thing that i do is just a stretch with your arms....1. stand with your feet about hip width apart, knees slightly bent. 2. reach across the front of your body, raising your arm to the air and also, the arm you are raising, stretch the same leg but out away from body and toe/foot pointing on floor. 3. it will look like you are making an X (one line of it) switch back and forth with arms/feet. you should feel a good stretch down the entire back side (back fat). be careful not to hurt yourself, and i would suggest doing this AFTER your cardio session, so you are limber and muscles are warm. (best time to stretch, and less likely to pull a muscle.) i too have back fat, but it isn't as bad now. a good bra helps with it too. :bigsmile:

    jacque ~ hope you had a nice lunch w/your dad. :heart: how are things going with your family?
    azwildcat ~ sounds like you had fun with the little guys!! 1 boy = lots of energy, 2 = TONS of energy!! :bigsmile: good job on the pizza!!

    well hope everyone is doing good and ready for a WT LOSS week. i am on my last week of driving for the summer and a very busy, hot, humid week here. 2 games today, will be in the bus probably 3+ hrs, and at games for 8 hrs. UGH!! :glasses: take care guys!

    Ok all, I really let myself lose focus this last week and I feel like crap. So I know this work out does more then just help lose weight it actually make you feel better and stronger. So as of today back on the wagon so to speak. Hope everyone is doing good, and once again thanks for all the prayers and support. I really love you guys:heart::heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:
