Mornin' all ....
was a fun nite @ football, we won 32-0 and was impressed with the plays Coach Collum and Co put out there! just amazing!
have to peel potatoes for 2 hrs today for our church fall festival tomorrow. not sure how the rest of the day will unfold. gonna start my stretch and tone tape today and maybe do a brisk walk/incline on the treadmill.

wishing you all a happy, healthy weekend, with water challenge in mind!

Guten Morgen....
I had a luxury morning of sleeping late. Even my kids did. Hubby's working this weekend.
After this I'll go to Curves. Then later have an appt w/a caterer for a sping scout event.
Tonight I'll head to the shopping mall my wallet is ripping and the local Walmart did not have anything I liked. We may not be at the mall for long since my teenager will be at a friend's house.
Of course, there's housework, laundry, lunch, & dinner chores.
Tommorrow I am the worship leader for service so I will need to review what the Pastor gave me to say.
I did put 64oz of water in a water jug. Now, it sits on the counter...... drinking a lot of water on weekends will be challenge.

OK - last night = complete eating disaster! I had friends come into town that I hadn't seen in almost a year, and totally blew my goals. Darn. I can't say that I am surprised, but I was really dissapointed when I stepped on the scale this morning....probably shoulda skipped it. Drinks with salted rims are not compatible with weight loss!! :laugh:
Anyway, I'm back on track today. I skipped lunch with them in favor of making my own, and will plan for a party at dinner.
The next two weeks will be tough for me with visitors, moving, and not being on my usual schedule. I'll keep checking in when I can though - you gals are such great motivation!!0 -
good luck with the move, visitors and not being on your usual schedule.... know that you can do this and dont beat yourself up to bad for days that you arent on track .....OK - last night = complete eating disaster!

agree with Megan. just do the best you can and don't stress too much....we all struggle some when things are out of routine. enjoy your company, and take time to breathe. soon you will back home and can focus more on *you*! :flowerforyou:0

congrats for winning the football game and WOW what an impressive score ..... you guys didnt just win you guys squashed them lol .... did you get all your taters peeled ?? I got my workout done this morning but i got some not so good news yesterday at the dr ..... i had hernia surgery march of 06 after getting my tubes tied after my daughter was born Oct 05 .. well yesterday dr informs me that i might have to have another hernia surgery :sad: but she ordered me a binder(i am not sure what that is but i am thinking it will help me keep all my tummy parts where they are suppose to be) she said just keep doing what your doing with the weight loss and eating healthy and we will just keep an eye on it ..... the water challenge isnt really a challenge for me since i only drink water throughout the day with the exception on sugar free vanilla coffee in the morning and a cup of green tea at night ....hope everyone has a great weekendMornin' all ....

Hi Ladies,
This morning did the 5K Race Against Breast Cancer, I walked with a friend (will make it a goal to run it next year) It was such a beautiful day here (Kansas) Lots of Participants, such an inspiration. Then went to the farmers market and stocked up on Veggies. Have just been relaxing and house cleaning all afternoon, great day over all. Have drank lots of water, haven't really kept track but definitely over 64 ozs. Hope everyone else is enjoying their day.

Good evening SHGP! Welcome to all of our new members. My weight for this week is 213. Even though I need to lose weight, I have to put it on hold because I am pregnant. I still plan to check in and do as many of the challenges I as can. I hope by checking in, it is going to help me to eat healthy and keep me motivated to continuing to exercise. Because of my weight I need to gain as little as possible during my pregnancy. I am excited my mom can for a short visit and brought a baby gift. It has really hit me that I am going to have a BABY in May. The challenge for this week is going good. I have manage to drink about 10 glasses yesterday and already have had 7 for the day so far. Have a great evening ladies. I will check in tomorrow.0

Hey all! Having a food eating crazy day! lol:laugh: :laugh:
Well yesterday was my hubby's birthday so i made a 2 layered chocolate german chocolate cake, so needless to say the darn thing is on the counter, and everytime taht I go into the kitchen I take a "Taste" of it
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: 
it was sooooo good though.
So it was his birthday yesterday and we got teh news that he leaves THIS monday for Afghanistan again (thank you navy for the 3 day notice:mad: ) But whatever
It will give me more of a "Focus on myself time"
which is what i need to do after the cake:grumble: :laugh:

:bigsmile: Sounds good Kelly! thank you sweets!
P.s
the starting weight doesn't bother me! It pushes me harder:) :happy:0 -
Kelly - I"m good with the chart. Thanks for taking the time to organize this group and compile the results.
MissVita VonCherry -- a military spouse is a tough life.....I'm familiar with it. At times I like it when my hubby's away and there are other times that I hate it. I'm sure he would say the same thing about when I travel for work.
Jenn - congrats on the race
Angie - a baby. What a blessing. Best wishes.
Megan - here's hoping your surgery is successful.
Overall, eating wasn't too bad. We did get chinese take out for dinner. I weighed everything before I put on my plate. 6oz of chicken, 6oz of broccoli, 4oz of rice. Now, I have enough leftover chicken and rice for 1-2 lunches during the week.
However, after entering my dinner, I noticed I wasn't at 100grams of protein nor the 1500 calories the fitness trainer suggests. So, driving back from the mall, I'm stopping at a store for a protein bar to push me over the 100grams and just over 1500 calories.
All I can say, is this is work....reading nutritional labels, measuring, recording, calculating, planning next meals..... Then again, if losing weight was easy none of us would be on this site.

What a blessing this beautiful weather is!!! Just got in from my morning walk/jog, Did 5 miles, 3 of it jogging. Feels so good. Going shopping with my teenage daughters this afternoon - should be a really fun day.
Cheers to all!!!0 -
Morning Ladies :
Hope everyone is having a fine sunday...... as for me today is my rest workout day but when i woke up i had all this engery so i workout anyways..... still have alot of energy so i am eating breaksfast then i am taking my daughter and my dog to the park and we are going to run run and run around .... have a good day everyone 0 -
Erica ~ i made apple crisp this am for my 'guys', and it's not touched yet, but i will have to put it out of site come tomorrow! :ohwell: i am so sorry about dh short notice for duty....i just don't know how or what you guys go thru...but i am so very proud of our service men and women....you must be a very strong mommy **hugs**
megan ~ have fun @ the park with dd. oh, and just making sure your MFP start wt is 225, start wt SHGP, 208....
barb ~ i am thrilled with this newly formed group and it is also b/c of the rest of the GT gang as well. We are all motivated once again, which does a body good! :bigsmile: yum, Chinese. my mom is wanting to visit a local buffet I totally agree that this whole process is time consuming. meal plannin and prep is the toughest for me. i'm getting better tho at making things and freezing them, having veggies cleaned, cut and ready to snack on. i think the longer we do it and it becomes more of a habit for us, the easier it will get. i pretty much have my breakfast and snacks down. but i am still preparing a meal for me and one for my dh & sons...good thing i don't mind cookin and bakin
went to my in laws for a couple of hours this am and helped dh, ds, and uncle load cut wood for this winter. otherwise, doing laundry today and ds has new *friend* coming for supper...her name is Dallas. i think they are going to Homecoming too.
i have done pretty good day for eating clean. have discovered a new yummy way to use protein in my tortilla's. dark red kidney beans, fresh salsa..warmed and then i spread Laughing cow cheese on the tortilla, add some shredded lettuce and the beans.. it is so tasty and filling. the beans have a lot of fiber, which i need more of.
well, have a good one SHGP's...get wet with the water and make today count!0
