T.H.E. Team - Week 49

adopt4

Didn't log my food today, was very busy. Didn't eat too bad, ate some cookies after dinner that I should have skipped, but other than that, eating ok. Trying to get the kids to the dentists and eye drs and the exchange student registered for school and getting his school stuff and it's like I'm a taxi service right now. ha Things should settle down next week. Most of the days this week I have all the kids so won't be able to hit the gym till Sat. I decided my 3 days a week are the days I have one child in the am. due to childcare I can get at the gym in the am but they don't have any in the afternoon. But then of course tomorrow is supposed to be that day and I have all the kids instead, it's an early release day. I'm not going to sweat it or feel defeated, it's just not my gym day tomorrow. Sat though I should have no excuses!!!

'Sup girls! Been missing you all~ I'm good, exercising, eating decently, think I'm losing but I am not weighing in for a while - new goal is not to obsess, but to simply live the lifestyle that will produce weight loss results and good health. Just stopping to say "hey" and let you know I haven't disappeared. Thanks for checking on me Dara (great to see you back) and Adopt4! I'll be back soon:bigsmile:

Didnt log over the weekend, but didnt really have a reason to need too. Aunt flo showed up finally, but oddly enough I havent been struggling with wanting sweets or needing to worry about staying within calories. I know I stayed within cals and things were just very busy for me through today. Hubby hurt his back coming home from Dallas on Saturday. Been helping him get around to the Dr and getting things organized at home. Then I had to work on getting my son registered to do high school homeschool next semester. He's struggling way too much in school with his grades and we've had issues with his behavior again, so I just think this is a better solution for him. The cool part is, among all the other classes I get to teach him he has to do physical ed still, which means I will be signing him up for the gym (still not sure which one yet) and get him in to doing some weight lifting. He's 16 now, so he's pretty excited about it. He definitely doesnt need to lose weight. The kid is 6' 2" tall and a beanpole, but I will be making him walk and run with me and do weights with me. The exercise wont hurt him... or me for that matter.. LOL Im looking forward to having a running partner and he already knows Im gonna torture him into it. He went to a dance last weekend at school and complained all day the next day that his legs hurt from dancing so much. Im thinking "wow, a couple hours dancing and yer complaining already?? Yer 16 for crying out loud!!"

Adopt4~ Utilize that tv and get a workout in at home. Even with the kids home you can do that, right? Just a thought. I know yer busy, but make the time for yourself to fit in what you can. Dont let not getting to the gym your reason for not working out. You'll be happier that you did it, you know you will.

Hubby and I went to a friends house for dinner tonight. I made my friends husband a lemon meringue pie because he helped me out before christmas and I promised I would make him one. So I alotted calories for that since I made it and I havent had anything sweet in over 2 weeks. Another friend of mine and I made chocolate lava cake in the crockpot last weekend and it didnt turn out right, so we didnt eat it. I was proud that I threw it away because it wasnt really "what I wanted" since it didnt taste right.. LOL I figured.. why eat it if it isnt what I really had my heart set on and dumped the whole thing in the trash. :0) I know... me?? Throwing away Chocolate?? Bet ya never thought youd hear me say that!

Walked 4 miles today...felt good. It rained way too much last week to get outside, so I did some indoor stuff. It feels much better to be outdoors this week tho since its not so cold and wet. Im a happy girl!

Walked 6 miles today. When I got home I took kids to the library, then walked Diego another mile after I got back. Took 2 water bottles with me on my long walk so I could use them as weights. Drank the same amount out of each bottle so each arm would get the same workout. By the time the walk was over, I had drank 1/2 my water for the day and it wasnt even noon yet.

Burned 1400 calories between the 7 miles today, so Im pretty tired. Gonna hit the hay early, just wanted to check in with the group and see how everyone is doing. Tried to finish my log for the day but MFP is being super slow, so I guess I'll finish it tomorrow. No way Im eating all my exercise calories today anyway... so it is what it is...

See ya'll tomorrow for weigh in day!!

Hey ladies! Weighed in today and I have been weighing all week and bummed with no loss. I have been sooo good this week with my food. So I lost 3 pounds this week... not as good as last week granted 6 pounds for my first week is not too shabby! So total of 9 pounds in two weeks I am very proud of myself. It has not been easy as we all know it is so easy to gain it but so hard to lose it.

So my goal of 10 pounds for this month I am only 1 pound away from.

Goal of 10 pounds for January: 9 down and only 1 to go!
Goal of 25 pounds by March 14th my 33rd Birthday!

Cyndi, great job on the walking! Kelli, good job keep on chugging along I know I get crazy busy and I know that doesn't help with our weight loss goals... sounds like you are doing a great job despite life!
