ugh, ladies I am struggling. Completely forgot to weigh in, again!! already ate breakfast too.

Sorry I've been MIA, I've had a lot of stuff going on in my life and I've been putting my health and my fitness second to all of it, but that needs to change. I've been gaining back the awesome loss i had last fall/winter and I just can't let myself do that.

So, that being said, Cathy I am definitely in for the next challenge! I like Sixers battle the turkey too! This next challenge will take us through Thanksgiving right? (too early for me to figure out dates...haha)

I'm back in this ladies!! Who's with me??!!

I'm struggling too these past few weeks ... but I haven't given up. I know it will kick back in. I've gotten back into the swing of things with the exercising ... but the eating is a little uncontrolled. I'd like to say that I'm in a plateau ... but it's something I've caused. I'm sure if I payed more attention to my food consumption the weight would start to fall off again. Okay, enough is enough, I'm back too, I'm with you!!!! "Battle Of The Turkey" is a cute name ... but it would be easy for us Canadians ... we had that battle already this year. Our Thanksgiving was October 12th.

I think the C25K program is really paying off. Tomorrow night I do Week 5, Day 3. It is the one I am really nervous about since it is 20 min jog after a 5 min warmup walk. Yikes!!!

If anyone is concerned they can't do it, believe me, if I can, you can. I started the program when I was about 225 lbs and I leave an extremely sendentary lifestyle working at a computer for 8 hours a day and not very active on the weekends either.

Anyway, good luck all and have a great week!!!

amylou...take it from my experience not taking care of yourself only makes things worse at the end. i am working on this still today. i have to make myself become second nature. it just have to do it without thinking about it. it just has to be there. i think that is the hardest thing to accomplish about this whole journey thing.
t....WOW look at you go. i just did wk1 day1 yesterday. i did it before, but, never finished. i will this time. i won't push myself so beyond what i can do.
maggie....sorry forgot you already had your turkey day. now you are done with it. so "LET"S DO IT"

so far so good today for me. feeling blah, i think i will just do exercise on demand walking today.

really need to start my reading. and reviewing. state papers could be here any time.

I maintained last week. But I'm doing better this challenge than last challenge, so I'm happy about that. Count me in for the next challenge!! I already got through one challenge today. I forgot to pack my lunch, so I went out to McDonald's. Normally I get a med size combo (quarter pounder or big mac), but today I got the big kids meal. I don't feel stuffed like I normally do, and it satisfied the taste for the fries and burger. And now my kids have a new Bakugan toy.

chipper15173

great job amypyr. great choice.

drtamm

Hi everyone... I hope all is well. I didn't weigh in today so I'll do it tomorrow morning. I did 5 miles this morning with a girl who walks at a slower pace than me so it took 30 mins longer but I'm glad I motivated her to keep going. Now I'm just relaxing my day away.

Take care,

Tamm

chipper15173

how'd everyones day go?
lauryn...busy with new job?

i stayed on track. there was a weak momment, but, found something to do and forgot about it. just kept putting if off. i can work with that way of thinking.

night all

Phoenix_Rising

I forgot to weigh in this morning.
I ate CRAP tonight. Corndogs and fries and green beans.
I will weigh a ton tomorrow. Blech.
Luckily final weigh in isn't until next Tuesday, right?

The new job is going well.
I'm still just shadowing someone.
I have no workload of my own, nothing to do.
Boring first few days on a new job, you know?
I like my work group though.

Having a great night with my dear kiddo.
"Cork puller" was the phrase on Wheel of Fortune just now.
What I'd give for some wine...... :laugh:


Cathy, I like "Battle off the Turkey" even though Maggie is right -- won't be as much of a battle for the Canadians! I think we should probably clear off some of the absent members from the list and make it known on the boards that we are starting a new challenge and welcoming new members. There are always people looking for challenges to join and we could use more fresh faces.

chipper15173

i posted this in general too. just thought i would share with you guys. some things remind me of you guys

---

This is something we should all read at least once a week!!!!! Make
sure you read to the end!!!!!!

Written By Regina Brett, 50 years old, of The Plain Dealer,
Cleveland, Ohio

"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life
taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written.
My odometer rolled over to 50 in August, so here is the column once
more:

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch..
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'
27. Always choose life..
28. Forgive everyone for everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves us because of who God is, not because of anything we did or didn't do.
35. Don't audit life.. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come....
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."

Friends are the family that we choose for ourselves.

weighed in with a pound gain. better than what it was a few days ago. if i can end this at the beginning weight i would be thrilled. yea, i would like to lose, but, maintaining is a hell of allot better than gaining in my book.

doing c25k day 2 wk1 today. than shower and do daily chores, reading.

Ugh, disaster, but I'm back in it, that's what's important!

Cathy - what a neat column! Thank you for sharing!

Lauryn - I definitely agree that we should post our next challenge out to anyone who might be interested. We could probably all benefit from a little new found fire from some newbies!!

Hope you all have a good day, I'm up and getting ready for it!!

Phoenix_Rising

Ladies, give me the finalized name and I'll go make a new thread (or one of you guys can do it just as well, I won't feel slightest) annoucing that we have a new challenge starting next Tuesday 10/26, running past American Thanksgiving, open to anyone.

I had planned to put in the title something like:
"NEW CHALLENGE STARTING 10/26 - Sixers Battle the Turkey"

Well, that doesn't include phrasing to say it's OPEN INVITE TO NEW MEMBERS. Hmmm. Gotta be short or it won't fit on the message board title.

"Join Us Now -Starting 10/26- Sixers Battle the Turkey" ???

What is the name we are going with Ladies? :flowerforyou:

chipper15173

good morning lauryn....:drinker:

titles....

coming 10/26 open to all - "sixers turkey take down"
or
yours --join us now--
or
sixers taking on the holidays or sixers heading into the holidays or sixers holiday time

that's all i can come up with for now. great idea for posting it now. then everyone can prepare and be ready on the 26th.

did you day2 wk1 c25k this morning. took me awhile to get on the treadmill. than the treadmill stopped and won't respond to anything, not even pulling the emergency cord. it won't shut off unless unplugged. it did that before. DH needs to look at it. i got it in and it's done.

I like the 'Heading into Holidays' type title since there are a lot of Canadians on here and we already had our Turkey Day (aka Thanksgiving). Plus there are myfitnesspal members from other countries who don't have Thansgiving so Heading into Holidays opens it up to a wider range of people.

Take care,

I like both "Battle of the Turkey" and "Heading into the Holidays" Either one works for me.

Thanks Lauryn for the new post and group title. Makes me smile. YAY newbies and to the seasoned members Congrats for sticking to this! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone remember our feb theme... love yourself, to say something you love about yourself every post. I would love to see that positivity again. :flowerforyou: We can do this.

I weighed in I'm 196 and toooooo lazy to post it. LOL, I will in a sec. I did however decide that I am giving myself CREDIT for all the efforts I make towards a new and healthier me!!! Something I learned from the BECK Diet Soln Book. But Lauryn and the others will remember our money jars... well I'm gonna start using mine again. Today I'm loving that I... ME.... MOI... I got up early and did my elliptical for thirty 30 mins. AND for lunch I walked w/ a coworker for 25 mins. I'm PUMPeD and ready to drop some pounds.

Thanks for all the lovely support ladies and I would love to keep this up!!!

Take care,

Tamm:flowerforyou: :drinker:
P.S. Is anyone drinking enough water? I must admit I have been slacking and MUST get back to it!!

Tamm, think us up a great name for the next challenge, something positive like our "Love Yourself" challenge. That challenge, I THINK, will run from the beginning of December through late January, early February.

And no, I haven't been getting in all my water either. :embarassed: I need to start drinking my water!!!!!

I'm excited to see all the newbies who are gonna join us too! It's nice to have seasoned folks but the newbies will help reinvigorate our group and motivate us a bit more.

Maybe we can even return to our old school roots -- posting our daily menus! Of course, with public diaries, you can always see what someone has eaten. Maybe we post more recipes for others?? But then again, I don't think anyone needs to know how to pull a frozen pizza from the box and put it in the oven, which is my style cooking. :laugh: :laugh:

I am just excited to start the next challenge!!! :drinker: :drinker:

Hello All, Happy Thursday!

Magglett – I love that you are so positive. You are an inspiration.

Chipper – sorry to hear about the headache and not feeling well. I hope you are feeling better today. I love the list you posted!

Amylou – I hope things settle down for you. When life throws you an obstacle maybe try framing it this way. “Will this matter in 5 years?” and then think “Will my health matter in 5 years?” More often than we realize the answer to the first question is no or not as much as my health and the answer to the second question is of course yes.

Kel – Nice to see you back and good luck next week. You can do it!! You have done so well so far.

Amypyr – Good for you making a more sound choice. You could always try their fajitas which are lower in fat and calories. The do have a lot of sodium though but it is still less that the fries.

Tamm – Wow you continue to amaze me. You are doing so awesome and all that exercising is very inspiring and it was so nice of you to keep your friend motivated.

Lauryn – Glad to hear your job is going well and you are liking your new work group. Have a great week!

Greenerme – Great to see you back!!


Well I didn't perish after last night's Week 5, Day 3 of the couch to 5K which was a 5 minute brisk warm up walk, 20 minute jog with no breaks and then a 5 minute cool down walk. Although I did 10 minute warm up and cool down instead. I actually made it and am unabashedly proud of myself for doing so. Saturday I start on week 6 and I know I can do this since I have unwavering determination to get this weight off and to get fit.

I hope you all are having a great week and have faith in yourself. Believe in yourself because you are all worth it.

Good morning Sixers!

I'm excited about the new challenge too. I'm also excited because for the first time in about a year, I have a good chance of weighing in below 150! My goal this challenge was 145, but my unofficial goal the past couple of weeks is to be below 150. I feel confident that I can do it this week. I've been doing pretty well on my eating, but not so much on my water. I'm challenging myself to get in at least 6 cups of water today. Lately I've been doing good to drink 3.

I hope everyone has a happy Thursday!
