BLACK TEAM WEEK 9!!!

annaliza

Hello people!

I'm still here, still fighting! Just kinda got myself a little addicted to World of Warcraft... oops. So that's what I do with my computer time now... :bigsmile:

I start school up again on Monday... :grumble: So balancing everything is going to start being a challenge. The last time i gave up was because I started school, but I'm not going to let that happen this time! No sir-ie!

Well, have a great day everyone!

I love WOW!!!! I just have no time to play it.

I also have a friend who is super addicted to it. I mean, that's all he talks about, that's about all he does....it's even affecting his marriage. It is very addictive lol

Good luck with school. Im sure you can do it!

Hey all! Scale stayed about the same! Dang it! I know I should kick it up a notch. I'm not doing too good by my team. I have nothing great to comment on in my section since I haven't been doing everything I am supposed to. Hope everyone else did good!
Tamara-Way to go girl!

Scale stayed the same for me. That's better than gaining I guess. Surgery went well and now he's home and ready to begin the rehab. Well maybe tomorrow he'll be ready. LOL

Janie, Thank you for remembering and the PM . I truly meant a lot.

Hi everybody. I'm new here. My name is Aliah. I'm a stay at home mom to my beautiful daughter, Ashanti, who just turned 4 months old today. I'm looking to loose some of my baby weight. I have a series of health problems that run in my family that I am trying to avoid: Kidney Failure, Heart Disease, Diabetes, Anemia, High Blood Pressure and Osteoporosis. Hopefully, eating right and excersize will help me avoid some of these things. I'm waayyyy off track nutrition wise, and below are my mini goals:

1. Drink atleast 2 bottles water a day.
2. Have atleast 1 serving of fruit. and 1 serving of vegetables.
3. Intake less Sodium and more Calcium.
4. Do cardio/strength training atleast 3 times a week.
5. Go for a walk with Ashanti atleast 2 times a week.

So far so good.

I feel great! I lost 1-1/2 lbs this week while on vacation! I wasn't going to weigh myself to give me some vacation recovery time but my curiosity got the best of me.

Curiousity got me too, but I'm not as lucky as you. I gained exactly 3 pounds in 2 weeks of eating pretty crappy. It could be way worse, I'll take it. Now the tricky part of getting back on track. Once you allow yourself those slip-ups over and over it becomes like the old you again, eating like dog dirt all the time. I won't let that happen. I was just looking at pictures and commenting on fat my face was- although if somebody would have asked me what was fat my face would have never made the list! Funny stuff.

I also remember the last time I really lost weight. I lost about 25 pounds, then ate like crap for a week or so and said 'Wow, I can eat like that and only gain 3 pounds?' (or whatever the number- it seemed worth it to me for those 3 pounds at the time if I could eat junk food) I continued to eat crappy and found those 25 pounds back within a matter of weeks. It happens fast! I learned the hard way.

Anyway, don't want to go back so I need to get back on track. I realize with all I have coming up in the next few months that if I can just maintain I'll be happy. Sure I still want to hit my 50 pounds lost, but I will get there at some point. I've basically been haning out within the same 5 pound range for the last 2 months- what's 2 more?

Very good start!! Most ppl try to jump in and do too much and get discouraged. Your goals are def attainable and realistic. The great thing about teams is we encourage each other and send gentle reminders (:huh: ) to get back on track if we slip!

Your little girl will be so much better off growing up in a healthy household.......you may be saving HER life too!!

Welcome to the group! Your mini goals are a great idea. The first step is the biggest one so you are already going in the right direction. We have a wonderful group here for support and that kick in the pants, and have bcome very close over the last several months. Looking forward to getting to know you! :flowerforyou:

I went to the gym again today, thanks to my friend. We did 20 min of cardio due to time constraints, so instead of just warming up I did fartleks!! I warmed up, then did 1 minute fast run (for me:blushing: ) one minute very fast walk. My poor heart........up and down....... up and down.

Then we did weights. Tired but I finished strong!

Whew, I love being strong!!

Welcome, Aliah! Congrats on your baby, and on selecting THE finest team-- you won't regret it.

This group is incredible about keeping each other motivated. We've inspired each other to begin running and completing 5ks, buy bicycles and ride our wittle hearts out, drink the water (or not, in my case-- SpongeMarla-- don't ask, long story) and stay accountable to each other.

Bottom line, if you're willing to shed all excuses, we're ready to help you shed the weight.

We're no-nonsense, no excuse, no whining-- but lots of love and giggles.

Ladies and gentlemen-- we had a delightful surprise this day-- our neighbor went "crabbing" catching 84 "blue crabs" and delivered at least a third of 'em to us. Oh em gee-- what a treat. Even 3yo Josh was sittin' at the table suckin' out teeny-weeny crab legs.

Ohhh-- also, Aliah-- if you can't find us after this post, look for Black Team Week 10-- I'm going to post here and there-- if I remember, I'll come back and post a link--

Heading to type, my friends-- stay strong, our goals are attainable--

You're all the best!

Hey-- I remembered the link-- go figure--
