    Evening everyone! Got an impromptu invite to join some friends for drinks after work. Then I came home, walked gunner, and went to starbucks to grade. By the time I got home it was after 8 and there was nothing available for dinner other than a frozen Lou Malnati's deep dish pizza. It's from a school fund-raiser and has been in the freezer for months, so I decided to heat it for dinner. It's WAY too many calories--540 for a fairly small slice and I had 2 :noway: --and all the sodium is probably gonna make my weight spike back up. I'm okay with it--tomorrow is a new day.

    I had originally planned to do core tonight, but with getting home so late, it's not realistic so I moved it to tomorrow.

    Exercise Goals for this week:
    Mon--walk gunner + gym DONE (did weights and rowing + cardio)
    Tues--walk gunner DONE
    Wed--walk gunner + core
    Thurs--walk gunner + gym
    Fri--rest day
    Sat--walk gunner + gym
    Sun--walk gunner + run outside + core
    Mon--walk gunner + gym

    Grading Goals:
    1. 16/16 12 Angry Men essays DONE!!
    2. x/16 Diction analyses
    3. x/57 TTTC Journals
    4. x/16 vocab quizzes DONE!!

    Just stopping by. I've been super tired I'm sure from the stress of this disastrous kitchen remodel. I will never do this again. Doing ok on food but not exercise. Hope everyone is doing well.

    Checking in: Goal is to hang in there and try to lose a bit before my surgery. I made my big goal of being solidly in ONEderland by my birthday which is tomorrow. With exercise so limited, I'm just trying to stay under calories.
    Have a good night. Kaye

    Hey everyone. Hope you all had a great Tuesday. I weighed today and was down 1.4 pounds for the week so am happy about that. Lets see goals for May I have now lost just over four pounds and I got a new cut and color over the weekend for the getting a new look challenge. That works for me I guess:happy:
    Toots I looked up the book on amazon and it sounds really good. I will probably buy it on my nook. Sounds right up my alley.
    Robin great job on checking out the gym in your building. Definitley take some music next time. I would never try to work out without it:laugh:
    My goals for the week are to just keep doing what I have been doing since it seems to be working now.
    Have a great night everyone:heart::heart:

    My husband has us all trying to do Insanity. All that most of us can do is what is supposed to be the 'recovery' day and it's super brutal. i think it's kind of crazy, dare i say insanity? but he really wants to do it.

    Wed. Wish:
    I wish I could figure out why I can't lose weight a little faster. I'm eating 'cleaner' (cut out pop and fast, processed foods), and trying to count calories (I may not be accurate enough but I thought I was pretty close). I finally started adding exercise this last week and it ended up being the week I lost the least amount of weight. I lost more when I didn't exercise. . I have been over my calorie goal a few times, but not by a lot. I haven't had a full, blown binge since I started this, and am determined not to .I eat back my exercise calories as I'm hungry and don't want to feel deprived.
    But, I am a bit discouraged at the slow weight loss. I want to see the scale move downward every week. Is that too much to ask?
    I'm considering eating less calories, but not sure I can handle that.

    @skinnjeans - those fun, impromptu nights with friends are totally worth it and I agree...tomorrow is another day

    @Platinum Diva -- plateaus happen. I've been on one for a while so I'm not the expert, but this is what I hear: 1. Make sure you are eating enough calories. Low calories ultimately give a good weight loss for a while but then your body catches up and starts to hold it all so you don't lose it too fast. 2. Lift weights (lift heavy). This builds muscle and muscles burns fat more effectively. (I'm working up the courage to do this one on a more regular basis). 3. Keep going. Plateaus happen and usually you will break through them but it can take a while. 4. Make sure you keep drinking enough water. 5. Remember that the more you lose, the slower it goes.

    @TOPSmarca -- cute hair!

    @grandmakaye -- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

    @Mel -- If you haven't been exercising, this just threw your body into shock :noway: When your muscles get worked hard, you retain water to repair the muscles -- this causes water weight...hang in there, after a couple of weeks you should see movement again.

    Wednesday Wish: That everybody understands just how precious life is --- yours, your family, your friends, people you've never met. Make sure you tell people how much you love them, but on top of that, make sure your actions match your words. Especially children...your words will be overshadowed by your actions.

    platinum diva - its hard to give specific advice without knowing more, but you could add about 200 cal. to your daily intake, and change your daily exercise to something different. That alone should give you a drop in weight. If you could open up your daily food log for us to see it would be helpful.

    marca - what a darling haircut - it shows your face off so nicely!

    kaye - HAPPY BIRTHDAY tomorrow! Hope it is truly special and you are surrounded by loving family and friends. You're well loved here! :heart: :heart:

    jt - congrats on losing more weight and meeting the May Challenges. I'm so impressed with how you are doiong!

    Mel - don't be too discouraged if your weight loss is slow, if you are losing weight every week, if its only a lb a week. Losing weight slowly is the best way! Its almost guaranteed that you will keep it off that way. You might consider not eating back all of your exercise calories - try eating back all but 200 cal of them. Also try eating a bigger breakfast with more protein in it, that will make you feel fuller, and also more protein at dinner.

    Tom - one of my favorite quotes.

    tih - love your wish - very eloquent.

    BEST TASTE:::::Some info on protein powders - I was reading up on them last night, and the article recommended the following WHEY protein powders for best taste: EAS, Biotest, and MET-RX. If thats useful to you.

    Weds Wish - that I would find an exercise that I like and would do several times a week consistently without pain.
