BLACK TEAM!!

musicmom04

good morning!!

so this morning i planned on going to my first aerobics class at the Y. it started at 8:30, so i figured i could get aiden on the bus and get there just in time. i would've, too, if there hadn't been a cop with someone pulled over in the middle of the road that slowed traffic down to a crawl. by the time i got there i peeked in and they were already going and i didn't want to just barge on in, so i decided to head next door to the fitness room. i ended up finishing week 1 day 2 of c25k! then i walked on the track for a few minutes to burn a few extra calories...i even jogged around a few times. then, deciding i'd had enough solitary excercise, i picked up riley from the babysitting room and took him to the gym for a little basketball. he had fun and i kept my heart rate up. all in all, it was a pretty good morning. i'm really loving the Y so far. riley starts swimming lessons tomorrow, so hopefully he'll like it and behave for the teacher. Have a good day all my black team friends!!

Well, I bet I win the "how my kid got hurt this weekend" contest.

My 3 year old, Josh, fell into our campfire. Lovely stuff. He's fine. Some scrapes from the rocks that make up the fire pit, but no burns. I was holding the camera (pictures will come later) when I saw him topple off his chair (he was getting down to get another hot dog-- we'd told him to stay on his chair-- will these kids never learn that obedience=safety???) and into the fire, which was low at that point.

( I won't complain here about how the fire pit is not in the place where I wanted it, which was expansive with plenty of room for chairs and to walk around it safely-- that instead it's in a freakin' teeny-tiny little place by the swingset, "so we don't ruin the freaking grass," all cramped in, and ripe for such accidents-- and I won't complain how I was overruled-- aren't you glad I'm not complaining? That's 'cause I'm such a good wife who never complains publicly about such things-- ha)

I didn't even remember what I did with the camera, but Sarah found it for me later out near the pit. I flung it and ran to get Josh. He was screaming bloody murder, so we couldn't tell what hurt. I was trying to get him to stop screaming and tell him where he hurt. He said all over. I took off his shirt, fearing that the material may still be hot on his tummy. Hubs started screaming to get him in cold water-- so we put him in a bath. But there are no burns. ( I won't complain about how much calmer, cooler and more collected I am in such emergency situations-- good wife, remember?)

I fell up the deck stairs while running him in the house. I have a huge bruise on the back of my fist, the size of my fist-- youch. But, I protected him from the fall, which is good. The stinkin' blood is seeping all under the skin, and will no doubt take over the entire back of my hand by the morrow-- I iced it. Worry not, my fine team.

All drama aside, all is well. Kids were obviously quite upset-- had a lot of tearful kids to calm down. (I won't complain that most of the tears came from the hysteria caused by a screaming parent-- )

But they're all finally asleep, which is where I'm headed--

Nytol!

OMG, that's so scary! I'm glad to hear that you and Josh are both OK.

Renae...Love the hair too. What a beautiful daughter you have.
Marla...You win the weekend child injury drama. Glad you both are doing okay.

Hubby is doing good. He has full range of motion in the shoulder, he says more than before the surgery. Still going to PT, and driving me crazy. ( Between you and me that is still a short drive):laugh: :bigsmile:

Happy Monday team!

loreeb18

I've been lurking but not posting lately. I think that might be part of the slacking. Without the black team support (and Marla's "snap-out-of-it" 's) I don't feel as guilty so I just keep doing it.

Now to catch up:

Shuntae – Sorry about your car. That stinks.
You rock for 9 miles! I will now bow to you.
P.S. Go Steelers!

Beth – You look fabulous in your dress! You look very happy too. Good job on the Y!

Andrew – That’s awesome about the bike. Congrats!

Tamara – Great new av! I do the same thing about clothes. When I try something on that never fit and now does, I usually do a little happy dance.
We don’t go to Red Lobster very often but I really like their biscuits. Mmm.

Other Lori – I hate that too. You try to eat healthy and the stuff that most people would think is healthy has sugar or some form of it as the first 8 ingredients. I’ll look at something and think it looks good and then read the ingredients: sugar, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, sugar, sugar, more sugar.
Sorry about your daughter. Glad she seems to be doing better.

Amanda – Yea on the 5K!
I’ve learned something: The scale in evil. The end.
P.S. You guys look really cute in your av.

Renae – Love the hair! Your daughter is adorable! You’re going to have tons of boys knocking on your door in a few years!

Marla – Yikes about the fire injury! Glad he (and you) are okay. But good job not complaining. Looked at your pics on facebook. Cute family! I like that they always look like they actually enjoy spending time with their siblings.


Since Dave and I got our bikes in June, we haven't used them a whole lot. We have the baby seat on the back of his so I can't go with Harley when he's not here. So today I tried putting her in her baby back pack and going for a ride. I didn't wear my HRM because I didn't think of it until I already had the pack on but I know my legs were burning. I guess wearing a 20-pound kid on your back will do that to you. :laugh:

renae77

Thank you all for the wonderful compliments! I do all my photography myself. I love it and am still practicing so my friends that want professional looking shots for free call me. I won't charge them and it's all fun to me! And they love the photos too! It's a win win situation and it is practice in case I ever do make something of it.

Jeannie-You brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much!

I spent my day on the go so again no exercise. I get wore out from just being on the go. I told mom that tomorrow I am staying home to get stuff done here and gotta get some exercise in too! It's gotta be done. I can't take anymore of me being so dang lazy. My birthday has passed so it's time for me to get it back in gear. You all are doing great! And the next pictures I want to take of myself I want me to look a lot smaller!!! So let's keep this going. You are all doing so great!!!

Morning team. I am sore. I have been sore every day since I started this new workout 3 weeks ago. Not so sore I can't move, but can tell I did something. I guess it's good because it means I'm working my muscles beyond their comfort level..... trying to tell myself that anyway.

Since I'm alternating body groups and working them each twice a week, I'm alternating what hurts. :laugh:

I ran outside yesterday and let me tell you, it puts a whole different stress on the old bod. Running on the treadmill is much easier on the joints, there is a little bit of shock absorbtion there. Plus, I'm with Shuntae, need new sneaks and the pavement let me know it.

Well, gotta get ready to start this day. Have a good one!

familygirl37167

AMEN Lori I need a new pair before my marathon which is like 17 days away...Guess I better be getting them or I will be running in my old shoes, will not be running in new shoes that are not broke in the day of the marathon, I am guliten for punishment anyways running the marathon, but thats double trouble there.

Gonna go running around noon when my husband goes off to work. Gonna spend some quailty time with him today. yay yay yay

Already took lovely daughter to school she likes to get there early. If I let her ride the bus she would get on the bus at 6:22 ( thats a little too early)

Gonna pick up a shift tonight at the ole cracker barrel, hopefully I will make good money so I can get those new shoes...lol

Hope everyone has a great and awesome day,,

AmandaJ

Andew, hang in there, I have pulled double shifts but not like that, hope you meet your deadline.

Marla, I am so glad your son is okay, we have a bonfire pit in the backyard and I constantly worry when we have a fire.

Renea, beautiful, beautiful little girl. I said that already but it is worth saying again.

Sam, is your painting done yet, I bet your house looks awesome!

Beth, what great fun to go to the Y. Sorry you missed your class but you will get there and it sounds as if you had a great work-out.

Bobbi, glad to hear the hubby is doing better.

Tamara and Shuntae get those shoes. I only ran the 5K and my feet were killing me at the end. I could hardly put pressure on the bottom of my feet the rest of the day, but the rest of me felt great.

Loree, quit lurking and get back here, we miss you!

Lori, I agree sore muscles are annoying but then it means that we have been working out great! I am sorry you understand the scale thing but it is sort of comfor to knw I have company.

Jeannie, you know I love you!

Jeannie2, so glad you are part of this team!

I know I forgot somebody and I am truly sorry. Please know that each member of this team means something to me and I love to read about your day.

Have a great Tuesday everybody. :flowerforyou:

P.S. I decided to keep my scale afterall, it was nice to be today, very very very nice, if it only says that tomorrow I might just hug it!!!

72lori

Amanda, I'm glad the scale was nice to somebody today. If today is any indication of tomorrow's weigh in I'm gonna be PO'ed. I'm trying to stay positive and say it can still happen I guess.

All I know is I burned 4527 caloires through exercise this week and I'd better see some sort of results!

So dear scale, take this as your warning! :grumble:

Marla64

got on mine today-- knew I shouldn't have had shrimp with lobster sauce last night-- sodium blows me up like the Good Year balloon-- look out your windows, my good people-- that's me floating by.

Plus coming down off TOM mania, and without my blood pressure medicine for two days before I could get to pick it up--

Roll me to the juicing room, please--



Couple of days, though, it'll be back to normal-- slow and steady, my good team.

renae77

Hello everyone!

Amanda-Thanks again for the compliments! If my DD would sit still more often then there would be way more photos of her! LOL! She has ADHD so I have a time getting her to stop moving for a second.

I haven't weighed this week but over the weekend I did and it didn't look too great. My scale is fluctuating too dang much right now. I haven't done anything the right way in a month. I know it's a bad thing and I beat myself up over it every week saying I will do better. So I know I should just shut up and do it. I'm sorry for being this way to my teammates and not looking too great on the scales lately. I am going to get it back in gear I promise. I think I need Marla to come over here and smack me some. Hurry up Marla! LOL!! I know it's not a laughing matter. I told my DH that I do eventually wanna sign up for a marathon or something like that but now he says he doesn't think he can run because of his knees and the running part was all his idea because before I got on here I never wanted to run. So that means if I do run a marathon or whatever I will have to do it alone.

I am watching The Biggest Loser tonight. It always makes me feel more motivated to watch those people work their butts off. I hope everyone has a great weigh in day! Night all!

Marla64

There you go, Renae-- as per your request--

Now get 'er in gear, young lady-- do you want to be healthy and look/feel better or do you not?

No one can do it for you-- we're just here to beat the junk out of you when you whine-- ha.

Back on the horse, chick-- let's get 'er done!

Marla64

and so what if you run alone-- it will be what you make it-- pray, think, sort out your thoughts-- enjoy God's creation-- running solo, for me, is just a total, total blessing--

you can do it, woman--

renae77

Thank you Marla for all the slapping you do! LMAO!! I need it soooo much! I don't mind the running alone part but I did want him to join in a marathon with me.

AmandaJ

Renea, I ran by myself, and at first I thought I was going to do the 5K with my friend. However I am so glad that I did it and by myself because I did it for me and nobody could hold me back.

YOU CAN DO IT!! :flowerforyou:

Okay with that said, I way over ate today. I am not upset with myself because I know tomorrow will come, God willing and I will do better tomorrow, however the scale will say what it says and I will deal with it tomorrow I am sure!

I remember saying not long ago I would be happy with a half pound a week. I lied. Call me greedy. I want more!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not unhappy and at least I'm not gaining, but darn I'm working hard for 4/10 of a pound.

HEY LORI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll take 1/2 a pound loss.............over here...............yep me................send it over

My body is changing but the scale remains the same. I did go down to 135.5 and am hovering there,

I went down a pound after spending the week with my BFF who's idea of vacation was to work out 3 times a day. So I figure being more active may bump some of the fat. I started walking..............moderate exercise 2-3 x a day. We shall see if those size 6s get on and look good anytime soon.

Ahhh, I know Jeannie. I shouldn't complain. Any movement in the down direction should be celebrated. I've had a loss for the last 4 weeks, so it's all good. Thanks for reminding me!

AmandaJ

If and THIS IS A BIG IF I can lose 1.5 pounds this upcoming week, then I will officially be at the halfway mark again. I would like to be back down to 154.5 by the 15th of October because that is where I was when I just up and quit. So I must get busy and watch what I put in my mouth. 4.5 pounds is a good goal I think for the upcoming month. More would be great, I will not accept less!

Marla64

if not this week, Amanda, next week-- mouthful by mouthful, meal by meal, hour by hour, day by day--

keep moving in the right direction. Doesn't matter how long it takes, just that we reach goal.

AmandaJ

:flowerforyou: Thanks Marla, that is right the ultimate goal is the big picture of not only getting it off but keeping it off and being healthy!

renae77

Good morning Team! I haven't weighed in yet. I'm scared to! I know I will here in a second. I gotta go pee and get nakid first! LOL!! You know how that goes! Then I gotta get ready for lunch with an old BFF. Catch you all in a bit! Have a great HUMP DAY!

renae77

Ok I weighed in this morning and it was NOT pretty! I am showing an extra 3 pounds this morning so I am not claiming my weight! I am starting in the morning back on my diet! So now we know that it isn't pretty!

ksproston

Happy Wednesday. Weight was up a bit. TOM more than likely, I'm not gonna stress it. I've had a great week back on the wagon and I will NOT get discouraged. No siree, not me. Love feeling good way too much!

Love to all!

annaliza

Good afternoon everyone!

Ok....the scale and I have reconcilled.

I was down 4.5 lbs this morning BUT....I've been sick the past 3 days so I'm sure the weight I lost will just creep back on lol. I wonder if I broke my plateau. I probably won't really know until next week.

Still hate my scale....but it was nice to me this morning so I forgive it for now (but I'm suspicious, since I'm sure it's planning some evil in the future) :laugh: .

Take care all!
