A New Me - Let's get started!

Silver_Dream

So all went well at the party. I'll try to get some pictures posted up tomorrow. I'm slightly tired right now, because I'm on a new medication regimen. I'm hoping I can make it the 2 hours till bedtime.

One thing after another today. I'm over by A LOT of cals today. I took my son (who was born with a cleft lip and some "extra teeth parts" to the maxillfacial surgeon for his check-up thinking we were going to go in say "all the same" and wait another 6 to12 months for surgery. Wrong, I left having the consent forms signed and an end of Sept date for the surgery. It's not major, everything will be fine just 2 things...a.) We had always said not till after he's 5 because the risk of being sedated goes down b.) I, as a mom, have to prepare myself and I wasn't prepared! So I let the kids get cookie dough...needless to say I ate too much. I will work out to burn some of it but I guess this will be my "Off Day" and I have a whole week till weigh in right? Just bummed that I let my emotions control my eating today:frown:

ittybittybadonkadonk

Mamakatspokane

correction ..... I still have 450 calories for the day

Someone else posted that as a question on MFP...everyone sort of decided it depends on your body...I go over my protein daily....I don't know the "medical or technical" answer though.:blushing:

Just checking in. I'm doing well on workouts and food, but the results are slow to come. I'm not getting discouraged. I know if I keep doing what's right, good stuff will happen. It has to. Bad stuff happened when I did what was wrong! LOL

Anyway, I'm not going to weigh or measure for at least a couple more days. Maybe longer.

G'night!

It's 5 am and my little princess is already up. I wanna go back to bed!

Megan, Take it slow and easy and I'm sure you'll be fine. After all, you pretty much know what your body can handle, right? Don't hurt yourself.

savvystephy

Good morning everyone!

Yesterday I did really well on calories. I didn't go to they gym yesterday, but I did get a work out in by doing some ground training with a friend's horse since she is away. She wants me to ride him, but he has some manner issues I would rather sort out before getting on his back. So, that was fun.

I am traveling today, so maybe tonight I will get a work out in - maybe a walk or something - when I reach my destination. I am going to keep up with my calories and water. You all have been really motivating about doing so.

Silver - I hope you get some rest.

Megan - Take it easy. You can still do it a little slower.

Jill - Good job yesterday!

i think i had a bad day yesterday.
it was my mums birthday so we went out for a meal at the Toby Carvery (dont know if that just a UK place) but its basically all you can eat - not good - i checked the nutritional info online and it looked like my meal should have come at around 800cal :noway: and to make things worse my sister brought a chocolate brownie mousse cake >.< which i had with whipped cream

i had intended to go to body combat yesterday but thanks to the rain i didnt make it. i did manage to get to the gym because my sister popped in to see my mum and gave me a lift to the gym so i got an hour in and burned about 650cal so hopefully that allowed my food in

well done everyone on the weigh in!!

Oh my Kathy, I can see why your emotions got the best of you yesterday. How scary for your family! He will be fine though, just keep in a positive mindset and you will get through! *big hugs*

Jill - keep your chin up. It will happen for you. You are right, you need to keep up the good habits and eventually they will pay off.

Katie - it sounds like your workout should have helped to offset your dinner.

Megan - way to go! Slim & Limber is just stretching, so you should be able to get that done. You have been doing a great job, and I think you have the right mind set. Don't give up - even if you are sore try and get some kind of exercise in, even if it's minimal.

Silver - you poor thing, you were already tired last night and then your daughter got up early this morning! How are you doing? How are the new meds treating you?

Okay, finally my update. You guys are going to be SO proud of me. I managed to make Elizabeth a birthday dinner of chicken in teriyaki sauce, mashed potatoes and cream corn. All I had was chicken (no sauce) dipped in honey mustard and green beans. (Can I mention that I LOVE mashed potatoes and cream corn?!?!) Then she got a cake maker thingy for her birthday and I let her make a chocolate cake with chocolate icing and sprinkles. I didn't take one bite and I even had icing on my finger. I went and washed my hands and tried not to think twice about it. I got both workouts in yesterday and after Josh has breakfast we are going to do another workout.

I hope everyone has a great day! Keep up the faith ladies! We will all get to where we want to be!

Silver_Dream

I was ok when I woke up at 5 am. I could have stayed up, but I didn't want, too. We went upstairs and Baby Signing Time Vol. 4 was in. So she fell asleep watching that and so did I. I ate breakfast and then laid down. Terrible I know. I hope I stayed awake long enough for it to atleast start digesting. I think I was up for half an hour after I ate. I ate a single baby carrot upon waking up to reawaken my metabolism. I'm gonna drink some water and then in a couple of hours, I'll make lunch for the munchkin and I. I'm trying to decide if I want to make chicken and a veggie since it's so low in calories and good on protein. I probably will. Means I gotta do some dishes. If I keep my calorie count low for lunch then I can have a single serving Pizza! Yay! I love pizza! And still get in my night time crackers of FlipSides.

LisaC, way to go on not eating the cake. I kind of wish I didn't eat the cake at Sharlotte's party, It was so rich, very very sweet. I couldn't eat the icing, it was so rich tasting.

LisaC1026

I'm glad that you got to go back to sleep Silver. I know how rough it is when the little one gets up and you haven't had enough sleep yet. My daughter did that to us this morning. I plan on snuggling with hubby and taking a nap after our workout. I ended up eating breakfast already, so I am going to wait a little while until we work out.

If things can play out right, we are planning on trying for baby #2 again this year. There are going to be quite a few dependents on us trying, 1) me losing weight to control my PCOS 2) selling Josh's sports car, 3) Saving up at least $1,600 so we can afford to pay for it - but good news is that these are all attainable. Keep your fingers crossed for us!

Silver_Dream

LisaC, Good luck with all of that. I got an IUD so I didn't have to worry about getting pregnant. I'm not sure I'll ever want more kids, but atleast I have the next 10 to 12 years to think about it. :laugh:

CurvyKatie, that chocolate brownie mousse cake sounds SOOO good! I don't think I would have been able to resist it either. I didn't even take soda to Sharlotte's party last night. I took Juicy Juice. So that my only temptation would be the cake. I didn't even drink the juice. I drank 2 bottles of water! I'm so proud. I'm a little jealous of you getting to eat Chocolate brownie mousse cake! :bigsmile:

You're right Jill! Sometimes your body is changing and the results just aren't visible by the number on the scale. I know for me, my weight is coming down slowly but I'm toning and firming and building lean muscle since I've incorporated weight training in my exercise routine. I'm losing inches for sure because I have to wear a belt to keep my jeans from falling off of my hips now.

Keep up the great work!

Have a productive day all!

Yay, Christine! Wearing a belt to keep your pants up! That's great.

On a bright note, I weighed myself after getting up for the second time this morning and I weighed in at 184. Hopefully I'll weigh in at that tomorrow and I'll be able to have reached my goal for this week of 2 lbs a week!

Mamakatspokane

WOW Kudos to Lisa to washing the icing off her finger instead of licking it!

So with bad comes good.....And HUGE motivation. My MIL bought tickets last night and Sept 30th we are all going to Disneyland...I really wanted it to be the end of Oct. so I could lose more but I'm going to try everythign in my power to lose as much as I can in Sept so I look OK in ALL those pictures! Because we are going to Disneyland just 6 days after Dillon's surgery I'm going to call the Dr today to see if we can postpone it. Challenges for the month of Sept....My in-laws are visiting next week, which always means at least one meal (or more) out and they do most of the cooking for dinner before I even get home from work.:grumble: The goal is to be at 155 or less when I get on the plane to LA. Wish me luck

Silver, Christine you guys sound like your doing great!

Jill keep your chin up it will pay off! The whole month of August moved super slow...down a half, then nothing...finally this week it paid off! Be patient and keep at it, it will pay off:flowerforyou:

ittybittybadonkadonk

Hello everyone

whewwwwwwwww i did it ..... SI6 limber and the start up WOW what a workout but i dont feel any pain so thats good YAY ME !!!!

Glad everyone is doing good ..... GOOD LUCK on baby#2 LisaC ....question LisaC how do you log what i just did into the exercise part on MFP??

LisaC1026

Thanks guys - you have NO IDEA of how bad our infertility issues are - maybe I'll share some day. All I can say is that we've had some very bad things happen!

Kathy - that is awesome news. You can do it girl - let's do it together! You know I want down as much as possible by October 26th, so I'll be rooting you on! Let us know if you change the date for Dillon's surgery. How is the recovery time of that? How old is he again?

Megan - I log my workout as the video time (SIU and S&L) as Aerobics - General - so for what you did I put 36 minutes and then I add the minutes as I change the video. I know that it is more than a "general" workout out, so that's why I add in the S&L time. I know I work it hard the entire time - I'm usually sweating within minutes. So what'd you think of it? Were you sweating like crazy?

Christine - that is awesome that you are seeing your results. I think I'm getting to the point of needing a belt too! I haven't tried any work clothes on yet since I've been off this week - but my jeans are baggy and sagging within 1 hour of putting them on!

Silver - I bet that 184 this morning made you feel great!

Josh and I are getting ready to watch a movie - we just finished S&L and SIU and we'll be having lunch after the movie and then doing RIU this afternoon. I can FEEL the pounds melting off, I swear!

I'm glad you liked your SI6 Megan.

I'm horribly addicted to my scale. I got on it right before I got bath with Sharlotte and it said 183. point something. Made me feel good, then I got out of the tub and put my clothes on and it went 186.8. Bummer. Here's hoping for a good number tomorrow morning.

Mamakatspokane

Silver - I'm additcted to the scale too. I love when it goes down but hate the ups...at this point I know my body so well I know when it'll be up & down it seems.

Lisa - Thanks! My son is 4 1/2 and we did get the surgery changed to Sept 11. The recptionist was so sweet she said "we can't have that cutie missing anything at Disneyland...I'll bump someone if I have to" but then worked it out AND got me a Friday so I don't have to take off work (I don't work Fridays).

Question for either one of you SIim 6 ladies....doe sthe program ask you to workout 2 times a day? Seems great but I don't have time in the mornings unless I get up at 4:30......no thanks!

My vent - SOO frustrating that when your my size it takes soo much weight to lose a whole size in clothes. When I was smaller it was like 5lbs and new size but I've lost 15 and I know I have 10 more to go hit the weight I was at the next size down. I'm just soo ready for people to notice (I notice but other people haven't) and to wear my size 12's!!! My goal is to be in single digits but I'm taking this one step at a time!!! OK that was my rant & rave today. LOL 16lbs lost and still wearing a 14 BUT as my BFF says...my clothes were at maximum capacity.....

curvykatie

oh my gosh!
im having such a bad day today! its that TOTH and its the day when i just want to eat and eat and eat! and so far thats what im doing, im trying not too but i cant help it, its all sugary stuff to :grumble: :sad:

The Slim in 6 program doesn't ask you to work out two times a day, but it does come with a "6 Day Express Diet Plan" that it suggests you follow one of the six weeks (you choose which week), and in the diet plan, it recommends doing some kind of cardio in the morning before breakfast and then doing your main, most intense workout later in the day. Personally, I choose not to do the 6 Day Express or work out twice a day.

I feel you about how long it takes to get to the next size down, especially since last time I was there, I tossed out all my bigger clothes. Oops! I've bought a couple of things out of absolute necessity, but I don't want to build my big-clothes wardrobe any more than I have to. I need to get back down to the size that fills my closet, darn it!
