Sixers Heading into the Holidays WK 1

amypyr

Good morning! I haven't done so well the last couple of days with eating or exercise, but I've been getting more water than usual. I'm not up yet to my 8 cups a day, but I've been getting in 6 which is twice what I've been doing! :happy: I use Crystal Light a lot too. My favorite is the raspberry green tea.

Maggie - I love the pic of your daughter & her fiance. They look so happy! :happy:

Amy - Good luck on the interviews!

Colie

Hi everyone, just wanted to check in and so far so good. I was able to drink my 10 cups of water Tuesday and yesterday so I'm happy about that. Just got back from my run and I pushed out 3.75 miles today, I started a marathon training plan on Monday and so far it's easy. We'll see how I feel when they want me to run 10 miles!! :laugh:

Maggie the pic of you daughter and fiance is awesome
Amy hope the interviews go well!!

Hope you all have a great day!!

Is it Friday at 5pm yet? :huh:



:grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

mello

It's raining and that makes me want comfort food!!!!!:sad:

However I've planned and we're having a good veggie soup for dinner but my mind is thinking of things like homemade mac and cheese....chicken and dumplings....you get my drift????:noway:

Phoenix_Rising

I had a work breakfast this morning. Being new in the group, I felt pressured to eat, you know? I had orange juice, coffee, half a sausage biscuit, half a crumb cake muffin, and a piece of chocolate cake. I don't usually skip meals but I am skipping lunch today (because I'm not hungry after stuffing 1000 cals at breakfast!!! :noway: ) and having a string cheese for my afternoon snack, then a reasonable dinner (probably a tuna melt).

I hope we don't have anymore work breakfasts or lunches soon. They are gonna make me not fit into my clothes anymore!!!! :noway:

ALTHOUGH, it's nice to bring one small item and get a meal in return.

I know what you mean, your afraid of offending someone if you don't eat what was brought.

i got my EXAMINATION ELIGIBILITY letter today.:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

i will call tomorrow and schedule my day and time and pay my $65 fee. i am thinking monday or tuesday gives me the weekend to study hard.

than i have to take another class (8 hours) to get the "R" for realtor. to join the board. it's not a must, but, it's important. more money to fork out. luckily my broker pays it for you and you pay him back in payments, plus he is the teacher for the classes.

finished my bread making, sewing tablecloth, still need to finish my list for shopping. spent some time reading.

have a great rest of the day all....

Hello everyone. I want to apologize for being late to add my name to the list. But I have been working so much this week. EXAMPLE: I just worked 30 hours straight. and I PROMISE I'm not exaggerating ONE bit. :noway:

My name is Tiffani, 24 years old now.. :-D DrTAMM is my sister. I'm a 3rd year medical student... We are working 80 hour weeks. but my health is a priority to me and I REFUSE to lose control and get out of shape/depressed while caring for others 80 hrs a week. In the past week I have not worked out once really b/c I dislocated my hip. Oh I take that back I did run one day this week and I walk in the hospital but no REAL workouts... AND I'm below 145 now! GO ME!

Redneckwoman

Is it Friday at 5pm yet? :huh:



:grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

Miss Lauryn.... Me too!!! I am soooooo stinking tired. Ever have one of those customers that you love so much but... you just cant make happy, no matter what you do????? Today was one of those days. She a long time customer and normally easy to please. However today I couldn't do anything correct. I planted a dozen plants where she placed them. And each and everyone was at least 4 inches off one direction or the other. I just couldn't believe it. Never have I had a problem like this. Was I 4 inches off today or what?????? I actually went to my truck in tears TWICE I just don't do this. YES WHERE IN THE HECK IS FRIDAY????

Kel

Redneckwoman

OKAY GIRLS my sweetie came home and said he would complete his dinner and told me to go take a break. I asked him if I could just go to bed and he said yes. But if I wanted a bubble bath first he would draw it. Can you guess me response??

Love you all,
Kel

chipper15173

thanks ali. i think i am going to the libary tomorrow to study and get some notes from the referece books.

kel. sorry you had such a sucky day. ((hugs)). tomorrow is friday.

later

nellienell12

Good evening. Had a decent day today. It's TOM and is really heavy. I just had a procedure done this month to end these, but it can take up to 3 months to work. I also had training today and luckily I asked my PT to take it easy on me cause my tummy hurt, and he did. He is wonderful. Glad tomorrow is Friday, I'm kidless after I drop them off in the morning. They wanted to stay the night at my MIL's. Saturday exercise day with Halloween. Lots of walking. Well, gonna go. Later.

drtamm

Okay ladies.... I'm back from personal training and I had every excuse in the book not to go but when I came home to an accident on the floor from my dog.... He isn't feeling well and at least he went on the tile by the back door.... I need the stress relief. Its funny how anything simple can trigger you to do BAD or GOOD. I'm excited I went to workout even though my abs are still burning from yesterday. I love ya all sixers!!! ROLL CALL

Shannell- Glad you are recovering well from the surgery and don't you love a trainer that listens! YAY! Enjoy a night of rest and I'm sure you are missing your kids!

Cathy- Congrats on being accepted to take the test. I know you will do great and YOU WILL win your battle with the scale! I KNOW IT!!

Kel- Your sweetie is a keeper!!! Sorry about the bad day but good ones will return again soon! Keep smiling!

Alison- How was your day? Hope it was great

Maggie- Good job on giving yourself credit.. you did lots of things today towards your healthy future. YAY

Verda- Well good job adjusting at least you still drank as much water as you could. Pat on the back!

Amy Lou- Good luck with the interviews. Best wishes!!!

Marci- I hope you had a good day

Go Go - Good job on starting out well. How was the RUN?

Lauryn- Coupons save me plenty. I think they are definitely worth CLIPPING. Great job with the water and we are gonna be WATER GIRLS soon! Love ya too!

Amy- I like raspberry green tea also. Hope your day went well

Colie- Good job on the water and the running! My sister TIFF (Gonabfit) has completed two marathons. I hope to do a half marathon next year. Best of luck

Mello- Great job on avoiding the comfort food. DUMB cravings that appear! You handled it well. Kudos.

AND

Tiff - I am proud of you!!! I know you are committed to your health. You are doing a great job. I know its rough but your gonna make it. Love ya sis!

Night night ladies..... take care! I'm back to work for two days then off to Nashville for a dental conference!

Tamm:drinker: :flowerforyou:

gonabfit

hope everyone had a HAPPY friday... the weekend is coming! YAY! I have to work 30 hours again Sunday... so... I only have a one day weekend... :noway: but I'm going to enjoy EVERY second! :flowerforyou:

Today was a good day... I again did not workout really... a little dancing but I have a dr appt tomorrow and hopefully I can get out of school to go. Wish me luck with that! The thing is my hip hurts but it's not muscular pain... its IN the joint. and I feel like my leg feels paralyzed or something... sounds crazy, but I have a limp now AND i have to lift my leg up to get it in the car. if I'm using my ab muscles or other muscles I can still lift my leg. So I figured this is worth getting checked out!

marci_r2010

Hello Sixers

I am sitting here feeling my muscles twitch after an excellent cardio session. And I have a personal training session in the morning. And I have had a rotten week at work and have a hundred excuses to go hide in my bed, instead of work out. But I did it anyway

Tamm.. is your dog feeling better?

Kel, does your sweetie offer trainings to the other sweeties on this board?

Shanell, hope you feel better soon

Off to get a shower, drink some more water and hit the hay.

Best,
Marci

Hola Sixers,

I was just wondering what you all were doing for Halloween this weekend? I went to a party last weekend.. the only thing I ate was the apple I bobbed for and a few spooky cocktails. Saturday I'm just going to hand out candy to all the kids in the neighborhood.

gonabfit

Didn't realize my sister had posted!

I am proud of you too Drtamm! You have really been dedicated in reaching your goals :-D AND I know you will reach 140... then the world will stop cause we aren't ready for how FABULOUS you will be! WOOOHOOOOO!!!:flowerforyou: :drinker:

datenshi

Hello Sixers!

I did Week 6, Day 3 of C25K. 25 minutes of running and I made it! Holla!

Have an awesome weekend!! Happy Halloween!

Take care,
T

magglett

Wow ... it's going to be a crazy busy day here today at work ... and then I have a tour to give tonight. Yikes!!! At least it's Friday. I'm here to confess this morning ... I ate some liquorice and potato chips last night just before I went to bed. I don't know what I was thinking ... now I have heart burn. Serves me right ... LOL. Oh well ... today's a new day and I hope to do some big hiking this weekend to burn it all off.

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!

Phoenix_Rising

Marci, so sorry you've had a bad week dear. Hopefully this weekend will be wonderful for you! :flowerforyou:

Tiff, let us know how that dr appt goes. I hate you are still having pain. How long ago was the accident?

Fairy, no big plans. I am taking my kiddo trick or treating. :smooched: She is Thumbellina (a fairy). That will be great. Then I'm returning her to her father for the night. :frown: It's "HIS" weekend and he's being a big fat jerk about everything. (sorry.... enough venting). After that I'll hang out with some friends but nothing exciting. Very low key evening.

T, I am so proud of you on the C25K!!! That is amazing!!! I stalled out at that 20 min run in week.... 5?? You are doing FANTASTIC!!! Keep it up!!!! :drinker:

Maggie, I love the ghosties and haunted house. :bigsmile:
