pettmybunny

hey hey hey! I took today off, colored my hair this morning instead of working out. Then work, then tanned, then came home and cooked dinner. Well, cooked DH's dinner. My son and I had leftovers. We split the steak that was left from last night, and split the chuckwagon mac that was left from the day before that. Now, I'm wasting time on here for a bit, then am going to lay down and snooze. I'm tuckered, and I didn't have that hard of a day.

Jenny, your boy sounds so cute. I remember when mine was 7. Now he's 15. And learning to drive:noway: :noway:

Laura, when you mentioned the bear in your neighborhood, all I could think of was my DH talking to the kids, quoting (misquoting) Dwight from the office-- "Battlestar Gallactica beats brown bears". lol

Connie, I can't imagine school starting so early. Our kids don't start until September 8. They are going to have a rough time going back, since we are going on a Disney cruise the week before. We dock on the 5th, fly to Detroit that same day, then drive back home on the 6th. Poor poor kids, life of leisure then... SMACK... get up early and go to school.

Wellllllllll I was a bumb today......I was going to go running but dicided to clean the house first, I only got the kitchen done and then my lynsey need to go here and there.......She's 14 and is driving me nuts wanting to drive so bad.:noway: Somedays I wish she could.. We got back and it started to rain... So I vegged in front to the TV with Lynsey and we watched a movie together.........and that was my day... Maybe I'll run tomorrow and do it first thing??????

Laura we don't want you to get eaten by a bear eather....I was just watching the news, an older lady in the mountains got mouled to death by one today here.... It is sad. So be careful

Jenny how was your trip into town today??? yes i do know how fast kids can grow....I'm now the shortest one in my little family...and my kids keep rubbing it in.
A disney cruse sounds like so much fun....I've always wanted to do that... We were suppost to take a family vacation to Yellowstone and Jackson this summer. but my hubbies job ruined all that for us this year...... :grumble: maybe next summer!!!!

hope you all have a great day and keep working...I got to, make up for today or I'll never make my goal

JessiJean

Good morning all! I leave tomorrow! I can't believe I ate 2 swiss rolls, a brownie and a can of mountian dew last night :blushing: :noway:

Today is a new day though! I will work off the extra calories today!!

Laura: I hope the bear leaves so that you can go outside! I would be scared.

Wishing you all energy to burn :flowerforyou:

Jessi

:bigsmile: well I am back! You know it is amazing that 6 hours of driving can make you soooo tired!!!! ughhhh Well his doctors appt went well and we have another 6 months to take it easy before makinjg that trek again!

SO yesterday didn't do so great on eating....but it could have been alot worse. So today I just started off great so I need to make sure I keep it going through the rest of the day!

think that i am going to do BL cardio max and a bit of BL yoga somewhere in between errands to the bank and cleaning the house!!! hahaha a housewifes work is never done. I truly think that my dishes breed on their own.....that and my laundry!!!!:bigsmile:

Laura hahaha have you ever watched veggietales MOe and big exit? Larry the cucumber runs into some trouble with a bear and he uses his bear repellent....a stick of wood hahahaha and he hits him on the nose.....HI HO SLIVER AWAYYYYY!!!!!!!! hahaha but I don't think that it would work where you are :laugh: :laugh:

What about walk away the pounds? It needs VERY little space to do the workout.

Petmybunny I LOVE YOUR NEW PIC hahaha Monty python ALL THE WAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cut your arm off....NO you didnt...........yes I did..............tis but a flesh wound....hahhaha love that movie!!!!!!

HEK81

Okay, I totally fell off head first. I have pretty much done nothing in two weeks. I know I've put on weight cause I can feel it. I had done so well I lost 11lbs. I'm scared to weigh in and I bought a new dress to wear to a wedding next week. I'm scared to try it on. I motivated for my health but I rarely buy clothes so Im really determined to get into this dress. I can not explain to my husband why I can't fit it.

pettmybunny

I managed to complete c25k week 4 run today. I'm still gonna repeat it over, just to get more comfortable with it, but I did it today! No quitting early!

laurajoyk

Hey everyone. Thanks for worrying about me and my bear issue LOL

I have been trying to do well on my calories, but the last few days I have been a lot more hungry than normal for some reason. Its only 4:30pm and I only have like 300 calories left. So I'm not going to have a very big dinner when I get home.

I hope everyone's week is going well. I have been soooo busy lately working pretty much 3 jobs and its been pretty hectic. Hopefully I can get a better internet connection at home and can take more time reading all the posts and answering back.

I will catch you all later.

constancemwj

today has been a great day... I started early with a 3 mile power walk and then almost an hr. aerobics, and then finished cleaning the house.... I think its ok to count cleaning as exercising.....AW I've been moving all day,... and even stayed under my calories. to bad everyday can't be more like today......I had to make up for the last 2 days of doing hardly nothing....And tomorrow I have meetings all day too,to prepare for the first day of school next week...maybe I'll have time to squeeze something in before bed....
It sounds like everyone is having a great week...lets keep it up...and keep moving...

jennyeckel

Awesome CONNIE!!!!!!! Somedays just seem so easy while others....definetly not!!! I am glad that you did so GREAT!!!!!!!! I just have been going over my cals by about 100, so I ususallyu give myself that much leeway---1300 can be kinda low for me sometimes!

Laura I wonder if you TOM is coming becuae I get absolutly RAVENOUS when that starts to loom in front of me!!!

GREAT job my little pet!!!! You should be proud of yourself! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: Keep up that amazing job you are doing!!!!

Hek, I completly understand falling off the wagon!!! But you now have dusted yourself off and climbed aboard again!!! Just work like the ****ens this week and I bet that you will still fit into the dress. Probably half of the problem is fluid retention. Drink LOTS and LOTS of water!! THat will help alot! and get moving!!!! It always makes me great after I have done a good workout!!!


to all the rest of the gang out there REMEMBER WE ARE WORTH IT!!! Our health is more important than that oh soo good batch of chocolate chip cookies that you want to make.....(big weakness of mine lately....:sad: ) It might get hard but I think we should all try to have a goal of looking toward the future and remember what we do today effects what we look and feel like for the tomorrows!!!

good luck to you all today and lets all have a good outlook!!!!
WE CAN do this and we CAN do this togeather!!!!!

jenny:bigsmile: :bigsmile:

CrystalOKeefe

GOOOOOOD MORNING!!!!

I hope everyone is having a good week... Today we are thinking of trading in our beloved minivan that is falling apart for the cash for clunkers program... Cause we need a new vehicle... The bad thing is that you have to get a vehicle that is better on mpg.... So means we have to get a smaller vehicle there are 7 of us at times.. so this means we would have to take two cars when it comes to all of us goign some where!!

well ladies have a wonderful day !! I am off to try and figure out what to do!!

constancemwj

AAAAAAAAAAaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! it's been a long day of just setting and lessoning to people talk most the day......It's amazing how tired you get when you don't do anything at all.... I should get on the treadmil and walk some before bed....But I just got a call from my hubby...(the third one today,hehehehe loves me.)... He gets to come home for labor day...:drinker: I can't wait.....I'm counting the days.......I really got to break that 150 mark now..just for him....He's been by biggest fan.....I can do this...

tomorrow I get to mow again too... I wish it would stop raining so the grass would stop growing so I could stop mowing.....no i love my green lawn,,,, maybe I just need more flowers..but then I would have more weeds to pull.....(I should do some of that tomorrow too...) We just can't win.......

As for cookies,,,,, Cookie Monster has always been one of my favorate monster......when my kids where little I was always makeing them and eating them too... thats probable how i got this way......So now they are banned from the house....Although I've been thinking I need fine a good calorie free cookie recept.. Do you think there's one out there????????
Sandy welcome back,,, we missed you.....
Crystal good luck on the car search.....I hate car shopping...

Well I have 30 mins before bed I think I need a nice walk.. have a great day tomorrow and keep moving....

JessiJean

OMG!!!!!!

I am in Baltimore now. I cannot beleive that I went soooooo over on my calories the last 2 days and didn't exercise :blushing:

I am going on a run after my wrok/training today. Hoepfully I will burn all those drinks off :ohwell:

Hope to check in soon with you all :glasses:

sindyg

Hello ladies!
Well i completely fell off the wagon and i am trying to get back on! I have eaten bad 5 days this week! :frown: and i havent worked out since last week! Mostly because ive been staying at my parents to house sit while theyre on vacation. But it has completely thrown me off my routine! Doesnt it suck when the smallest change throws your life off completely! They get back on Saturday so hopefully i can start next week where i left off! :grumble:

mammakisses

I had such a great day. I went with my kids and my sister inlaw and her kids to a campground beach. I did get much swiming in my my son sure kept me moving. It was fun.

Hope I have a good weight in tomorow.

pettmybunny

Yay you guys! I didn't do a lick of exercise today. Worked this morning, and was wearing a dress, so I spent extra time in the shower shaving my legs. Evidently it had been a while, since when I wore a dress on Monday, I could see the sun glinting off my no-longer-prickly-stubble. Until then, I didn't think my legs were that bad :laugh:

Left work a little after noon (only half days on Thursday) and picked my son up from drivers ed. He wanted Pizza Hut for lunch, since he had to drive for class at 2. I was VERY good, and ordered the all you can eat soup, salad, and breadsticks. I had the tomato basil soup, the garden side salad, and got plain breadsticks. And, I only ate one of the breadsticks! My entire lunch was 410 calories.

Then, dropped son off to do his driving time, and met up with DH to go to court. We went last month, because DH's ex wanted custody of their oldest (they have 3 together). Last year she tried to get custody of all 3, this year, only the one. Whatever. Anyways, she didn't get custody, but then she objected to the high school he was going to be enrolled in (only one in the district), so we had to go to court over that today. As well as the fact that she refused to sign the permission paper for us to take the kids out of the country when we go on the cruise. Now, mind you, she did sign for us to get the kids passports in June, so it was transparent that she was refusing because the custody thing didn't go her way. Lucky for us, everything went our way in court. I think she's taken us to court every summer for the past 4 years, and she hasn't won yet. You'd think she'd learn by now... Ugh.

After court, picked up son from his driving time and dropped him at the library. Then I went shopping. Came home, and DH was making supper, isn't that sweet? We had lasagna, cheesy garlic bread, and cheesy mixed veggies. Yeah, a lot of cheese, I can feel my arteries clogging now, but I didn't have to cook a thing!

Tomorrow, I plan on getting up early to do c25k again. Before it gets too hot. And before the weather changes, since there's supposed to be thunderstorms all weekend. Speaking of weekend, we leave Saturday morning for Detroit, going to see the ACDC concert on Sunday! Happy birthday gift to DH. So, if I'm not around, that would be why... Have a good one, if I don't pop on before we go (yeah, what are the odds?:laugh: )

jennyeckel

hey sorry I didn't havent posted today, just got back a bit ago. went to a beautiful garden...welll more like gardens. do it every summer with my sissy and her kids! This year all the kids were great and saul had a great time although he was sooooo tired!!! anyways ate probaly too many calories but not as many as I usually would in that situation!!

JessiJean

OMG girls. I cannot do any more daquiris or tequila shots!!! :sick: I have went thousands over my calories the last few days!!! I am still counting my food and drinks though. SOOO I think I am still on the right track

laurajoyk

Hey guys, I have bee so busy lately. I don't know if I can check in that often. I am keeping track of my calories in a notebook since I can't even get online to log them on here. So I will say hi when I can. I'm working about 4 jobs total right now between taking care of my grandma, working for my parents, working at the coffee shop and also at the b&b. So I'm not being lazy at all LOL I love being busy, I just wish I had some time for myself, which I definitely don't have.

I will talk to you guys later. I hope everyone is doing well. TTYL

mammakisses

Woohoo I dropped to 159.5. I was so motivated today that I want for a long swim and did a interval training video. I feel great.

Hope you girls had a great weight in too!
