Lulabelle- Congrats. That is soooo great. Your progress and learning how to cope w/ bad habits have made you a successful lifestyle changer. You are doing a wonderful job. Keep up the great work
Ali- All of your changes to your diet WILL get you results. Remember our bodies sometimes drop the weight when its ready, you know, a mechanism to keep us from STARVING. However don't we all wish we had a DONT GET TO BIG mechanism. Maybe you can commit to more days of fitness per week. Do you already have a set amount of days per week you do? I know you will reach your goal. Keep pushing!!!
Verda- If occasional bread will get me ABS like yours even by my 30th birthday I'll be too elated. You look great and keep motivating us!
As for me.... I hit a spot in the day were I was reading the paper and talking on the phone and on the computer and a SABOTAGING thought came across my mind. WHAT IF I DONT EXERCISE. LOL! The book I'm reading has helped me with that. I know I need to exercise to reach my goal therefore I DO IT!!! I feel so great when its done, its no wonder I ever stall. I did a 45 min walking dvd and my magic 100 series. I'm so proud that I didn't get stuck doing everyday life things and forget my goals. Do you know how easy it is to do that. Sometimes I wish I would just evolve into a morning person, workout, make breakfast, read some bible scriptures all before work but I barely have time to get on my clothes. I need to change this part about myself. SNOOZE is killing me and making me CHOSE to LOSE so much time in my day. VENT!!!! However, I bought a new alarm clock so maybe I'll start doing better.
Thanks for listening and lets end this year strong ladies!!!
Tamm
OH Tamm you are so sweet!! You know what? I did not use to be a morning person either, I stayed up late so I had some ME time and then my kids got into school and had to be on the bus by 7:10 each morning. I made myself be a morning person because I have one child to even this day who does not listen to us and is grumpy around us all the time, with that being said, I would not let 2 people be crabby or a war would have been on!!! Now even with no one here but my husband who is a very early riser (this morning 4a.m.) I am up usually by 5 so I can once again do a ME time! That involves my online newspaper, daily devotional reading, lot's of coffee and a workout! I live 27 miles from town so when I leave I must have everything with me because there will be no running back home again! It is called priorities! I wish you success at getting up, maybe start posting us everyday what time you got up and what all you got done in that 1 hour earlier rise!!! Peace,

Got in my 2 workouts today. I am not bragging just trying to be accountable! I did 30 minutes (no actually it was 27. something cuz I had to quit to go help my hubby do something NOW) and then I went on again tonite for 40 minutes while watching Snow White with my three yr old grandson! Boy have not seen that in quite a few years, but he liked it!!! Have a good night sixers's!
Verda0 -
I worked out early this afternoon, and then I felt much better about weight loss and myself in general. It's funny how getting all of those happy exercise chemicals going will do that. Then I totally shocked myself by going to watch the SEC Championship game at a restaurant (very sad since my team lost) and ordered roasted chicken and steamed broccoli for dinner. And I drank a lot of water instead of diet coke. Apparently, I've now accepted that going to a restaurant in itself is not a special occasion, and diet soda is not the only low calorie drink option. So, even if I don't lose 3 lbs by Tuesday, I'm making some big changes.0

YES! Cathy, I am having a very hard time losing weight after my gallbladder is out. My friend who had hers out a few weeks later has the unfortunate(or fortunate in a way:laugh: ) side effect of anything fatty or greasy running right through her. I am the opposite. Now that it is out I can actually handle those things. My eating lately has been horrible and I know getting that under control is a must!
I am right there with you Chipper!

Verda- Good job multitasking and thanks for the advice about the mornings. I'm sure posting about it will be a funny read for everyone involved... all the sixers but I may just try that. Two workouts make you feel like you are going somewhere fast. Proud of you. Keep up the good work!!!
Susan- How are you doing?
Ali- Good job on the food ordering.
Well ladies... I rested as long as I could this morning and now I guess I'm off to get the sunday paper and then wrap some gifts and then make some nice meals for the week. Yes.... I'm trying to meal plan for this week. LOL. Oh and of course.... gonna try to get my water in earlier in the day!
Thanks for always being here when I need you!!!

Hello Everyone
Sorry I haven't been on this past week but I wasn't feeling it if you know what I mean. I didn't workout once and ate what ever I wanted. I even drank soda which is something I don't drink at all. Don;t ask what got into me ...... I don't even know. But now I am back and ready to start a fresh week...
Cathy So glad to have you back too. CONGRATS I knew you could past that test!!!!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
To Everyone Else Hope all is well and Happy Sunday

Kel- I know exactly what you mean! I have those days, or weeks even sometimes too! I am in that kind of funk right now. I think it is because I am fastly approaching another birthday. I told myself last year, this time, I would not be like this for another birthday but here I am! All my fault but still very hard to accept!
We have had a wonderful weekend. We went to our beach house on the Oregon Coast Friday night. We got a wood cutting permit. Yesterday, for 5 hours, we cut and hauled wood. I had to have burned a huge amount of calories! Today we are back home and now must unload and stack it all. Then we are heading out for the Christmas tree. I always try to get my Christmas card picture when we get the tree. I am hoping this puts me in the spirit because so far I just am not!:grumble:
Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! Cant wait to start the new challenge!0 -
what a crappy day.
oh, hello all good afternoon, not!!!
ok, now i will be nice. went and did the weeks grocery shopping. planning the week out. i get my new roof on wed. meet with the broker tomorrow. figure he will be right by the gym so killing two birds with one trip and doing both while there. don't need to dress for him. he's going to be at his day care working. now, workout first or see him first. hump i hate making up my mind.
nothing else new here. just a cold day, can't keep the fire lit either. keeps going out.
tamm, now i can really dive into that book.

Chipper I sure hope your day got better but sometimes I agree they just suck!!!! Makes us appreciate the good ones though!!! I have had a very productive day which to me is a good day! I got in a super work out that burned over 500 cals., got the laundry done, pretty much the whole house cleaned, made two nice meals (we had late breakfast and early dinner tonite) and even took some care with the pets! BUT I am now feeling like I am wheezing and my chest is tight!! Bronchial problems, I use to have episodes that turned real bad so I am going to forgo the second workout for the day!!!! I hope all you sixers have had a good weekend!! Chipper you will have a better day tomorrow!!! God bless!

I had a busy weekend with lots of walking around. I'm still not 100% confident that I'm going to be down to 224 by Tuesday, but I'm sure I will be there very soon, if I don't hit it Tuesday. I'm not too worried. I'm already starting to think about my goal for the next six weeks, and I think I'm going to aim high again because this has been a great motivator for me.
Thanks for all of the support everyone!0 -
Overeating day yesterday. BLAH. I had done good ALL week until yesterday. I stepped on the scale, saw it went up, just to motivate myself to put the brakes on. I have had this horrible chest/head cold now going on ten days. Can't sleep at night due to being unable to breath. Cramps kicked in yesterday (cycle is really wacko right now), so I just ate. Not necessarily bad things, just way over the calories (although my wonderful hubby did take away the bag of chocolate from me - at very great risk to his hand). So don't know what yesterday will do to my weigh-in Tuesday, but hey, it's a new week. Thanks for letting me vent. Now that I've kicked my butt into gear,
here is to another week, the end of a wonderful challenge, and the success of another...
Have a great week everyone!0 -
good morning....
i know verda, just one of those days.
ali...some tough love sweetie. don't worry about the 3#s. the stress is going to cause you to not do it, and it's just 3#. the 18#s is nothing to sneeze at when here i am just maybe can lose 1/2 in a week. i am learning that the weight can't run my life. my life is going/is changing and the weight can't run it. i will be in a nut house if i let it. food can't run my life. the way i feel and look makes me feel miserable, if i let the food/weight control me i will never feel good about anything i do.....
hey i just made sense to me there. now to heed my own advice. write it down before i forget.
today is planning out. off to the gym, meet with broker, home to clean., sit in quite and read my book. now rain on wed. so don't know if i will get my roof than. but, today is monday on wednesday so will worry about it when it comes. not my problem. new week, new me.......
off to get some things done before i leave.

Thanks Cathy! I'm trying to not let thinking about food control my life this time around. Since I've lost this 70 lbs before and gained it all back, I can use some reminders that it's not a race. I'm really good at being hard on myself and pushing myself in eating right and working out. I'm not so good at being kind to myself and allowing me to take things slowly and steadily. Thanks again. I definitely needed that.

i did go do my gym workout. meet with broker. now i need to find $600 within 60 days. we have been trying to save for taxes next year. (we always pay). but, that has been hard, now this. i am not worried it will come when i need it to. the Good Lord will provide. i am not going to let it rain on my parade.
well, off to maybe have a snack not really hungry. might just grab some crackers.

Amy Thanks for the note. I wanted to start this week off good and I woke up sick to my stomach and slept most of the day away. I am feeling a bit better now. I just can't seem to get it together. Hopefully I will be better tomarrow and get going in the right direction again. Don't let your birthday get you down. I know we all try the best we can and I thanky you for your support.:flowerforyou:

Well................... I ate like a crazy lady today. I did well too, came to work with homemade soup and sandwich and I ACTUALLY Didn't know we had a meeting and PANERA was being ordered. SO I got a salag (good job) however I also had a HUGE cookie and a FRUIT SMOOTHIE and a BIG COLD GREEN TEA. LOL........... What happened there. I should have stuck with my plan but didn't want to be the ODD ball and not enjoy the FREE lunch. So I gave into my GIVE IN MUSCLE as beck diet soln says. You can strengthen you GIVE IN MUSCLE or STRENGTHEN YOUR RESISTANCE muscle. LOL.... MAN!!! I worked an extra hr and I'm salary so that was all voluntary but not so voluntary. AND then I made it to step class, luckily I had clothes in the car and did 50 mins.
Love ya ladies off to do my magic 100 and a dvd for a few mins.
