Sixers: The Resolution Revolution WK 1

gonabfit

I LOVE the new name!!! Last week was ROUGH for me ladies. I won't re-live it because I'm trying to start this week anew, but school was unnecessarily stressful :mad: :explode:

On a BETTER note, I woke up at 4 am to workout before school (we have to get there at 5:15 now) And I'm REALLY proud of that! :laugh:

I hope you ALL have a great week! My goal is to get into the 130's within the next 3 weeks. May be lofty, but I'm going for it!

drtamm

Hey I just read all the post. Cathy.... Hope things are getting better with the house and everything.

Tiff- sorry school is going so crazy. You did do a great job with the workouts.

I ate at Texas Roadhouse and ummmm over did the bread basket and ate a side salad and cup of chili.I was full. Didn't even eat my dinner. Made me laugh. Next time i'll order a few sides and not a meal.

Well... for breakfast I baked cinnamon buns (red fat) so they say but they were wonderful w/ Egg beaters. I straightened my hair out and now I don't wanna mess it up BUT I will workout today no matter what.

Hope everyone is doing well!!! Take care!

Cathy- I had a rainy day so I didn't go out either. Did some well needed cleaning and receipt organizing and coupon cutting. LOL. Those cookies sound wonderful.... what kind. Cookies are my weakness!!!

vhuber

Cookies are my downfall ! Yes what kind did you make? I am baking my husbands favorite tonite, also for his lunch box! They are oatmeal/ Craisin/ pecan! He loves them, I'll eat them but they are not my favorite!! Have you girls exercised today???
drtamm, good job on the exercise, sorry but I won't want your pains tomorrow!!! The Insanity Series is the best, I am NOT joking!!!!

1/2 tsp. salt Mix dry ingredients, then stir in oats & set aside. Beat butter and both sugars
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon until fluffy. Add eggs to butter mixture one at a time while scraping down sides
2 1/2 cups Old Fashion oatmeal of bowl. Continue beating while adding honey and vanilla. When mixed add the
8 oz. UNsalted butter (softened) flour in two additions beating until well combined. STIR in the pecans and the
1 cup Light brown sugar Craisins. Bake for 11 minutes. They may look a little not quite done but that is

Already up chipper

Finishing up work at 9. Going to the gym. Hubby wants to try a 5k in the Spring. Not much of a runner, but today after my step class, going to give it a try and see how I do. Inspire me Chipper! Any other runners out there, give me some hints please.

Then to the grocery store. Starting to try and cook dinners. Hubby is getting home later and later and I'm trying to make my cutoff time for eating at 7 p.m., so I guess I'm going to have to learn to cook to be sitting down at the table at least by 6:30 p.m.

Back to work this afternoon then all the fun stuff that comes with kids and homework and family night games.

Have a fabulous day everyone!

vhuber

Good morning Sixers!! Our cold in the night was 21 BELOW zero!! Suppose to get up to 20 Above by Saturday !!! I go to the gym today after my school kitchen job. I WILL do 30 minutes on eliptical, 20 minutes running on treadmill and 40 minutes of full body weight lifting! Yesterday I got in my water and my exercise but went over a little on calories, oh well it was'nt by much!
I wish for you all a good day and that you go BURN up those calories!!!

GOOD morning gals!

Another Monday! I had a fairly good weekend...not workouts, but that's okay. Friday evening we met up with my in-laws for some dinner. I ate half a burger and splurged on some fries. (Whoops!:embarassed: ) Then Saturday I spent most of the day Christmas shopping. It was SO busy everywhere! But I am now almost finished, so glad I did it! I was bad and grabbed some fast food while I was out and about, but I ate very light then that evening for dinner. Yesterday was full of cleaning the house, doing laundry and dishes, and hanging out with my little one! She wasn't feeling too good I think, so was pretty fussy. It was a long day, and I was happy to go to bed last night. I'm pretty excited for weigh-in tomorrow as I weighed myself this morning ( I check in for another thread on Mondays) so I already know that I'm down! YAY! ANYways...hoping to get a workout in tonight!

Have a great morning!

Ran into Tito Ortiz and Jenna Jameson tonight at Babies R Us....she had twins this year and she looks like a stick. WTH!

Now that is something I never in my life thought I'd hear!!!!! :noway:

Phoenix_Rising

Man, I need to go back through and read all the updates! So much is going on here! Maybe I can get to it tonight.....

Verda, my Appy State Mountaineers lost to your Montana Grizzes this weekend. I was one sad girl. No play offs for us this year!

I'm going to start my 5 week challenge tomorrow . I finally weighed in this morning and am holding steady. I'm getting better and ready to focus again. Life is just so crazy for me right now. I'm not sure how to manage it, and if I look at my month, I start to panic at the sheer amounts of 'stuff and things' to do, to be done, to plan for. Instead, I'm taking it day by day. I am looking forward to tomorrow, with nothing planned for my evening. Probably need to grocery shop though. *sigh*

hello kristin, verda, lauryn, lula. sorry if i missed you. good morning.

did the gym thing. only burned 635 and i ran a good bit today. so maybe HRM isn't working correctly. DH says i am just in better shape than i think i am. could be. anyway. goes to show i dwell on the HRM. which i shouldn't i worked out that's what matters most. got a used tire. now i don't vibrate down the road. he said it looked like it would blow any day. i thought so, cause the vibrations were getting worse. couldn't go over 50, and you could feel the thumping. cost me $20. i don't care if it doesn't match the others.

got home and someone pulls up behind me in the street. i am thinking whos this. i get in the house. kept looking out the window. he gets out of his car. it's one of the roofers. i went out and he said they were starting it today. WHAT??? he said he got a call to be here. i called the landlord he said good. better tarp it when it rains later today and tomorrow. we figure they want their $6000 for Christmas. landlord hasn't paid them a dime yet.

housework done, laundry doing, lunch around the corner, and than a shower.

I'm still around - just busy and stressed about my job situation. I will probably gain a pound or so this week, but there are much worse things in life.

Tonight, I'm heading to Kentucky for my great grandfather's funeral. We all called him Papa Sugarfoot because he used to curse like a sailor (since he was one), but when he started having kids and grandkids around, he started saying "well, sugar foot!" instead of cursing). He was in his 90s and really mentally lucid and really sure of his decision not to be revived (he was sick in the hospital when he died). He lived a great, very long life with two wives (his first one was my great grandmother) and a "younger" girlfriend (in her 70s) after his second wife died. He had some crazy adventures involving gangsters during Prohibition in New York. Really, I'm not sad that he died - he lived the kind of life that many people would trade their own for.

I hope everyone else is ready for a great weigh-in tomorow morning!

Hello all!

Crazy busy weekend. I am so glad to be done with it. I am a stress eater and it is showing. I dont even know why I should attempt to lose any weight during the holidays. I am ready for Christmas Eve and Christmas day to come and go! Tomorrow is my birthday too so my friend wants to take me to lunch and then my mom wants to go to dinner. Another day of eating! UGH! I dont have my self control under control if your know what I mean. Food is comfort for me.

Yeah for those of you who are doing good! For those of you who are not....I feel ya! :sad:

Amy Frist I want to wish you a very Happy Birthday tomarrow.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: I hope its a great one for you.!!! I can so relate to you when you said why even attempt to lose weight durning the holidays. I have been eating and eating and haven't found one ounce of energy to put toward a single workout. Every time I turn around something is taking my attention away from the time I set aside for even a quick dvd. I am just about ready to skip this challenge. But I keep thinking I will get it together soon. I haven't posted any of may meals because I don't want to know how many calories I am consuming. Anyway enough of my whinning. I really just wanted to be sure to wish you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

pdxmomof2,

I feel you on the stress eating. No matter what, if I have a bad day I want food. If I am upset I want to eat. It is a non stop fight everyday to control myself. I'm not even sure anymore why I want to eat so much. I just want to eat because it is there. Just hang in there. This month is almost over and all the holiday eating will be over.

On a positive note we share the same birthday!! I hope you have a great birthday!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I love to share my birthday!

I am mindlessly eating too. I think my mind thinks it will destress me. Its just so strange. Its a hard habit to break too. I had 2 good months...then Thanksgiving came and went and I never regained my control. I plan to take it back very soon! (I hope!)
