No problem my dear. It's the least I could do, afterall Peyton and the colts are gonna make your rookie QB and his bunch look like a pop warner team next week so I thought I would cheer for them before the hammer falls. lol
:devil: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I think so, too Don't tell my kids I said that.

I asked hubs who should I root for out of the two cause I root for both of them and he told me NY cause we like the Giants and they share a stadium and all "he told me they are like brothers" I have to root for NY. Hmm?!?!?! but I think I might root for the Colts!!! :devil: :devil: :devil:

I don't watch sports on tv so I have no idea what you are all taking about. I am sorry! :laugh:

Finally went to the doctor today for my foot, been trying to stay off of it all week and as a result my eating has sucked. I will have another week of gaining but at least I recognize these lovely cycles. Anyway, because I have no insurance, the doc and I decided not to x-ray it and wait it out. She only charged me a nurse call, which was very cool of her. I appreciated it. So heat and then ice and take it easy. SIGH! I want to go running. I finally get into something and can't do it. The funny thing is I have no idea what I did to it to hurt it in the first place.

Sam, I d your cake.

Morning (or should I say night??) all, well blew my calories yesterday, I would of been fine if I hadn't of drank any wine but had a good time and 2 of my little men are a year older.

Got up with a headache - self induced so no sympathy wanted, and had to fight to get the boys up and now have 2 off ill! So plans for today have had to be rearranged and I am now homebased. Managed to walk to school, and 'extra' little miss has just dozed off so I am going to do 10 mins on the rowing machine while ds4 watches his programs. Will go on the bike later and might try to do a little longer as I can't do the school run walking this afternoon with a sick child :huh:

Have a very happy hubby that woke me up last night to tell me that the Jets had won. He was so excited and has changed his facebook picture to a jets one - much like Marlas on here.

Well done everyone on the exercising, and the cake looks great and very yummy. Will check in later

thought I would share my newest cake.

I sure hope my mom likes it. and I hope you all can tell what it is!! hahaha

You have GOT to be the coolest daughter EVer!!

Any suggestions to help me get back on track would help. and I was thinking that maybe if we had one person that we had to answer to each day maybe we could better stay on track. I know that It would help me. I guess I just need someone to say hey what are you doing and whats going on when I don't show up for a day or something or if they see that I am eating things that AI should not. Thanks group

Hey Jess..........yes in the beginning it is easy to get lost in the shuffle! I will send you a PM...you respond and it will start a chain-ok?

PMS weight is a much discussed topic on MFP. It can be discouraging to lose 5 pounds in a month only to see that freakin number on the scale for a week............but not to worry...........keep up the calorie deficit and drink your water and when that bloat goes, so will another pound!!

And if you go into the pre-pms eating stuff like sugar and salt, it will make matters much worse on the scale........but again only temporary.

Hope this answers your questions and hope you have a great day!!

Happy Monday black team...I have to type about 10 hours today since I didn't work on Saturday, but that was my only day off this week and I took it! Today is C25K day, too sore to do the Shred again. Believe it or not, my right arm is terribly sore from Wii bowling! Sad, huh? Hope you all have a great day. Will check in tomorrow.

Happy Monday! It was a wonderful, but busy weekend. Didn't log a single thing. Blew the challenge for those two days, but I'm back at it this morning.

Stupid cowboys. Got their *kitten* handed to them. :grumble: Maybe next year.....We're also Packer and Favre fans in our house. It was hard to root against him yesterday but man was I wishing he would have had an off game. No so luck. He was rockin' as usual. There are some great teams still in and the big game is shaping up to be great, no matter who plays.

Took me an hour to get caught up. Haven't been on since Friday afternoon. Need to switch laundry and get back to picking the house up.

Have a good morning!

Good morning all!


Sorry I dont have time this morning to reply to everything I would like to. The kids have no school today, so I slept a little later than I normally do. Plus, they were having a sleepover last night. Three rowdy teenagers up til around 1am playing XBox:grumble: Needless to say, Mom didnt get much sleep.

Jeannie and Lori...yesterday at the gym I did more on the assisted pull up machine. I got off of it a couple times to adjust the weight, and what I finally left it at and did 30 reps on is 145 lbs. So, that means that I was actually pulling up about 55 lbs of my body weight, right? I just know that I sure feel it in my arms:laugh:

Sam--I took your advice (and Jeannies) and did the treadmill yesterday with NO HANDS!! YAY ME:drinker: I was only able to do a 3.5 speed, which I didnt feel comfortable taking up any higher because that did a really good job at keeping my heart rate up all by itself! WOW WOW WOW is what I have to say about that! I couldnt believe there was such a difference in calorie burn and the way my heart rate stayed up. Thanks for getting me to face a fear and let go!:flowerforyou:

Well, Im going to have to try and catch up more later. I will never get to the gym if I sit here all morning:blushing: Have a great Monday everyone!

He had all his off-games last year with us-- sheesh.

Morning gang! Better mood this AM. Went to the gym, just did cardio. Sweated a lot. Came home, took the dog out for a little walk. Got in a good calorie burn. I'm not really looking forward to our weigh in. I've been good, eating well, working out, but I had such a good number last week (that I haven't seen since) so I am just hoping I can get there again. Fingers are crossed but considering I was up 2 pounds this AM, I'm not feeling totally hopeful, yet stranger things have happened. Ah, the never ending scale battle.

Need to scoot and get things done, have to take one to Pensacola to a Dr appointment in a bit so that will eat up the entire afternoon.

Have a good day all!

Disgruntled this day..... hypocrisy by those in power, who will not be accountable to anyone, who criticize others, hold themselves above all others and are positively clueless and consistently need to be bailed out because they have been irresponsible....and then refuse to admit it..... so sick of bull****.

sighhhhhhhhh....

Otherwise, a terrific day....:noway:

I knew you could do it!! The more you pump your arms the higher your HR too. once you have found yourself comfy at 3.5 try 3.6. keep going one higher until you have yourself at a nice jogging pace. I think I found my nice pace at 5.2 I can jog for miles at that speed.

Gotta go get my toes painted by my 3 year old! Have a great day!!

arewethereyet

Roni this is what's all about to me!
Someone helped ME let go on the treadmill, Me and Sam helped you!!

That is so wonderful! What Sam said is great. Do what you can and then increase. I think part of the issue sometimes is we try to do too much too soon and either give up or have no place to go!

My friend started out trying to run 3 miles, got so discouraged she quit completely.

As for me I WILL go and do my C25k AND my pull ups because you did!!

WOOT!

Hello all,

Looking at the last few posts, I think I'll have to stay up and watch the nfl games with hubby, especially if there are some cuties to watch :drinker:

Had a better day than yesterday, had a good work out on the bike and rowing machine and did all the school runs walking - makes me feel really good.

Those with arm aches from the wii, I sympatise as I have managed to put my shoulder out bowling and sprain my ankle running while using the wii, so I leave it to the boys now :laugh:

I am going to say night all (19.50 here), as have to take ds4 up to bed and can see it taking a longtime to get him to give in :sad:

Good Afternoon Black Team- I swear every time I check on MFP, my family comes creeping over to see why I'm laughing..:laugh: :laugh:

NOTE TO SELF: NEVER PURCHASE THE HOSTESS 100 CALORIE TWINKIE BITES! You cannot eat one packet of 3 and put them away. I had to log the whole box!@!@:embarassed: :frown: :mad: :sad:

I just love being in 7th grade again. Spent all day with ds on his OUR social studies project:huh:

Donna... I know what you mean. My son has a science project coming up in the next couple of weeks and I end up doing most of the work:grumble:
