Sisterhood of Holy Crap I fit into these pants! Week 24

Hi all,
I know our attendance has been in the pits lately, due to too much summer fun, vacations etc. So if someone is reading this and think that because it's week 24 you can't join, well you're wrong. We have people all over the board in this group, so feel free to join.:bigsmile:
I got to thinking yesterday that as a mom (sorry for those of you who aren't, but just stay with me
) I'm a total hypocrite. I stress over what my daughter eats all the time. I get frustrated when she only wants to snack on gold fish crackers and not pieces of fruit or veggies. I go so far as to make my own crackers so I can slip in extra veggies so I feel better about her eating it. Why then can't I say "no" to myself when I pick up a handful of chips to go with my lunch? The saying is soooooo true that mommies put themselves dead last. Well I think it goes a little further than just mommies, I think it's women in general (and yes sometimes men). We put everyone else first and end up with the quick grab junk food. Well personally, I'd like to be around for my daughter. I'd like to be able to show her how I played volleyball in High School. I'd like to be fit enough to run a few miles everyday and show her that it can be done. I'd like for her to see me hop right up on my horse and not have to take a few hops cuz it's too hard to get my fat *kitten* in the saddle. I don't want to be her fat mommy that sits on the beach all covered up and won't play in the sand or water with her. This might sound selfish, but I'm going to be first. I'm putting myself first. Then, by doing so everyone benefits. Let's face it, if I kick off right now, my hubby is screwed without me.:laugh:
I challenge you to be your own mommy. Don't be afraid to tell yourself NO. Put you first, because you ARE worth it.:flowerforyou:

BTW -- I've broke that 178 barrier (for what like the third time?:grumble: ) down 2 pounds. I also went shopping and needed a new pair of capri pants due to always pulling my old ones up. And yes, Holy Crap I fit into these pants. I'm sitting in a pair of size 12 capris. So I'm down 2 sizes.:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :blushing: :bigsmile: A bit of good news after yo-yoing between 175-180.:bigsmile: :bigsmile:0

Bump for my peeps:laugh: :laugh:0

hey guys! i am at 152, up a half a pound from my week at the beach, but i'll take it! i did the shred every day but i knew that i was eating a lot... i have 2.5 weeks until i leave for guatemala so i hope i can make them count...0
-
o kacee im so proud of U happy dance & yay about the capri (pics?) sudz sometimes during the summer these things happen enjoy the beach (cough jealous)
to answer ur quest about my toes in previous thres i fractured 2 toes sat, cause i slipped on the treadmill instructions falling toes straight on (with flip flops on) into the headboard of the treadmill. if it wasnt so sad i would laugh and say its a sign from god...now my dad a doc says i cant walk on it for a few days cause they are def fractured black and blue and taped together and i may not be able to use it like i did for 4-6 weeks if they are broken....im feeling a little helpless casue he wants me off my feet for a feew day and i cant really do cardio espcieally not my walk which dare i say i miss, feel like im gonna gain weight back. (i can do strength but we all know cardio burns the calories) he says i can bike i dont think he understand how to bike since hes only done it three times but i sort of need to put my foot down to peddle (he says cant u peddal with one foot omg) i cant put pressure on the front of the foot it hurts too bad. we have an eliptical im gonna give it a try but dont know if i can do so much but i guess every little bit helps.
sudz how u doing with the shred?0 -
ari - just did day 12, although i didnt move up to level 2. at the boyfriends and tehre's no real place for me to do it and level 2 requires a lot more room. im staying at level 1 (it still buuuurns so im not worried) and just trying to stay with the more advanced girl. when i get home i am going to move up to level 2 and hopefully having done level 1 well and a lot will make level 2 not quite such a shock. i am pretty proud that i have kept it up through day 12 regardless though
sooooo sorry to hear about your toes! that sounds SO painful! hopefully they arent broken and youll be up and walking soon! dont push yourself
kacee congrats on the capris! thats so awesome!0 -
Hey everyone,
Pepamint 83, so sorry to read about your toes. I broke a bone in my foot last May and was in a walking boot for 6 weeks. Even had it going around a theme park. I was SO glad to be out of it. Even though I didn't get active until October. Maybe you could do some stationary biking until those toesies heal. Ask your doc, dad about that. it may be that you can't do it for a few days, but you might be able to handle a bike better because you are not on your feet per say.
Hey Sudzie, I like that picture. Pandas are so cute.
Pumkinheadsmomma, WONDERFUL job on the pants. It feels so good when you can go down sizes, Yes with the s on the end.0 -
Can I join y'all? 0
-
junkgypsy - of course you can! we weigh in on tuesdays (look for a new thread on those days, started by momma) and tend to check in every day or so for support. feel free to ask if you have other questions!
tkdm - i know! pandas are my fave! haha...0 -
Ok Ladies FYI -- I'm going AWAL (absent without authorized leave:laugh: ) till prolly Monday-ish. Going to go see my family in CO and go camping. I'm not too worried cuz there's plenty of trails to walk/jog on and plus all the fishing requires a bunch of walking:laugh: . I'm sure the food won't be the greatest, but at least I don't have to worry much about fast food. I can control the ingredients since we'll be doing our own cooking. Plus my skinny-***** :laugh:sister (I love her, she's not a *****, she's my best friend
) will be there and she's kinda a health nut (prolly why she's skinny?:ohwell: ). So all that added together might not mae it so bad. I did pack some extra clothes, sports bras and shoes so I can get some exercise in. Plan for success, not failure!!!
Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th!!!
Junkgypsy -- welcome!!!! we do have more members, some are on vacations, some are expecting babies and some are busy with summer activites and kids!!! Don't be surprised if you see new people radomly popping in and out Great to have you! Any questions or anything just holler and someone will answer! 0 -
btw -- I got on the scale this morning (I don't normally weigh more than once a week) just to keep track before going on big trip to see how I do.....I'm 174. That means I can change my ticker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0
-
Holy crap man, I just changed my ticker and the last time I was able to change it (for the postive) was on 4/11/09. That was a hell of a plateau. Glad to break through it, even if it is just for a day!!!!:laugh:0

my dad in his infinite wisdom thinks i can bike outside cause its sitting and i "dont really need to use both my feet....i may to the eliptical may do the stationary right now it hurts a lot
sudz thanks yeah it hurts hes not sure if its a hairline fracture a complete fracture he thinks complete or broken but says theres no point to go to er cause all they will do is tape it so thats what he did....so proud of 12 days with the shred stay on level one as long as u need to.
junk welcome...

happy 4th of july everyone0 -
So I'm back and since we have like no one checking in, I don't think we need to start another thread for this week. I got on the scale this morning and it said 175, up 1 pound from last week. I'm not freaking out though due to greasy campfire food. I did get a bunch of walking in. I wasn't able to jog, 10,000 feet in elevation slows ya down a bit!! I'm not stressing over it.:happy:
How did the walk go Pep?
jess -- I like level 2 better than 1. I have no idea why, it's all torture in my book!0 -

Hi guys! I'm back home now, and just got back 'on the wagon' yesterday. Though, I'm pretty sure I lost a couple pounds while I was away.
I'm not going to weigh until this Sunday, though.
I hope everyone is going well! I'll try to be around more often now.
0 -
Ok, I am so joining in, just cause I like the title. lol I can weigh in on the JuneStarters on Tuesday as well. Pepamint, I had to tape my toes and stay off them before. I used a stationary bike because the pedals were small and had straps on them, so i was able to dangle my injuired toes out of harms way. I HATED having them taped up! So uncomfortable. I hope you feel better soon.0
-
did we start a new thread yesterday?? i cant find it...
im back at home and feeling like i fell off the wagon, i gained 2 pounds this week... someone kick me in the butt???????0 -
Hi everyone I am back! Is this the newest thread? I just got back Wednesday from three weeks of vacation in the states. I ate horibble and did not exercise. I am on my period right now but my weight today was 189.8 which is a 9 lb gain. So starting Monday I will get back on track. I need the weekend to recoupe from being very jetlag. Where did everyone go?0

Hi to new and old faces that we haven't seen in a while, yes this is the most recent thread due to lack of posts from eveyone being MIA for the summer. I've had my in-laws here for a few days, so sorry I haven't been here more.
Christine -- Hi how did the trip go???
Johnny's girl -- welcome, feel free to jump in any time:bigsmile:
Sudzie -- ***KICK***:laugh:
Livi -- glad to see you're back...:happy:
Pep -- what's in the air? hopefully your toes so they get better.....I think that's it, I can smell them from here:laugh:0 -

Johnny welcome welcome. i would try the stationary bike but ours isnt too great i was thinking the bike tomorrow close to home but its raining again so im not sure...meanwhile yes it sucks having them taped especially lately
sudzie i would kick U in the butt however I am afraid of injuring toe further how about a virtual slap
Kacee kacee kacee wats in the air is this stalemate we all are having with our weight loss and my toes are clean i just showered lol.
I went for my first i dont want to call it a walk cause its no where near what im used to but my mother and i walked 4 NY blocks (looooooooong) 4 times a little over 1/2 a mile and equalling 12 blocks (progress since i couldnt put my foot fully down but boy was i determined "one more block one more time around i can do it" thats some progress and the words that came out of my mouth i thought i would never say and she thought she would never hear..."I miss my walks i miss my hour walks" damn wat have U guys done to me I dont even miss 30 min of it i miss the full hour i can believe i said it but i do i miss doing my cardio :noway:
Anyway loveliess and gentlemen i have decided tomorrow im taking back my diet and exercise im upping the game if i cant do the cardio i am used to the food situation is gonna change a bit and if i cant walk then i am gonna figure something out cause my b-day is rolling around the corner and i have been doing this dance with my body since Jan 12 and i want to b happy with myself Now yes Kacee (cause i know UR saying it) i know i wont make my goal but i want to make half of it for my b-day As for the full goal I want it to be done and accomplished BY next Jan 12 if not new years 1 year isnt asking too much is it???

And remember slow and steady (apparently like molassis) wins the race0 -
Hi everyone! I'm holding steady but ready to get back to losing some - who's with me! :laugh:0
-

-
I'm proud of you!! Keep up the good work. Hope the toes gets better soon.
Much success to u (us)!!!0 -
rosabella - im in!! i need a good kick in the butt...
ari - way to go! how those toes feelin?
i have been dropping the ball lately and am not very motivated because i am leaving in a week for guatemala where i will have no choice about food because i am staying in a small rural town... but most likely i will lose because of that and all of the walking etc...0 -
Juicey thank you so much it means a lot to me....sudz thank u 2 i shall kick u rose and everyones butt as long as u kick mine too i promised as long as 1 other person is on this thread i will stick around. A for the toes not gonna lie a little sore one point during bike ride i had 2 put foot down cause of a car but i didn it on my toes which was stupid....also they arent quit ready to be in closed shoes yet so back to flip flops...However i wont let it get me down today i will try to go the park and home my 30 min walk it may take longer but its better then nothing and hopefully i can walk again soon so i can do my hour (i miss it weird?) or i may bike with my sis ill ask her later,
hope all is well
ari0 -
Ok so again I think we should stay on the same thread this week.
Glad to see your spirits are still up Pep.
I haven't gotten crap for sleep lately, my brain is fried. Someone please find a challenge. I'm having enough trouble keeping myself on track (which btw isn't working):grumble: I don't think I can come up with something to benefit the group.:ohwell: I'll be trying harder......
Hope everyone does well this week 0 -
i maintained again... haha.... oh well my new goal is to be under 150 when i come back from california and guatemala at the end of august, and then when i am back at school i can really concentrate on losing again.
glad to see a lot of people are back 0
