OVER 200 CLUB NEW YEAR NEW BODY (OPEN GROUP) Part 3

Momma2four

I am checking in for today. I have not had dinner yet but we are having Pizza tonight so it is going to put me 50 cals over, not too worried about 50 cals.

water: I am having a hard time with that one. I have not had any diet pepsi in the house for a while. Decided to get some and guess what that is what I have been drinking. Sorry self it is just for the weekend:frown: .:

exercise. YES, I did my crazy walk with my hubby, we brought our 4 yo son with us in his stroller. on part of the walk Ry decided he wanted to get out and run. So I ran next to him and we left my hubby in the dust. I was about to throw up one of my lungs but I kept going. I would make him stop for 20-30 seconds and as soon as my hubby got close Ryan would say " Here he comes RUN!! So I would run. I had so much fun but now my feet are killing me.

I am proud that I ran today. and by the way mhstal, I got 8-9 hours sleep last night. WOW I know I feel great today. Even before you made this challenge I always make sure I get at least 7 hours but usually I get 8. The minute my hed hits a pillow I am out. Maybe it is chasing a 4 yo around all day long. That is why I love your challenge cause I know I will hit it almost every night:laugh:

01.23.10
Calories: 1254 (will be)
Exercise: C25K w6d3 +
Water: I'm only at 5 cups right now but I can easily get in another 3
Sleep: I don't really know... went to bed sometime between 3am and 4am I think. Woke up around 9 but stayed in bed until 11. :embarassed: My back was killing me this morning.
Proud: I ran for 32 minutes straight -- 2.25 miles (I know, not so far, but I run slow right now). I still can't believe this is happening. I can easily run for over 10 minutes straight without even breathing hard. It's like... I don't know, all I can say is that the whole thing is very surreal.
My goal for my first 5k (probably in May unless I'm confident enough to run the St. Patty's day one -- and at this rate I may be!) is to run it in 36 minutes or less. :happy: I've totally got this.

Boy am I exhausted! I took my 8 year old step son to Fanfest here in Baltimore to meet some of the Orioles (baseball players) and just walk around to various activities. My feet are killing me and my back hurts, but I survived! Most importantly while my family endulged in hot dogs, chicken strips and french fries, I did not touch it!

Here is my check in for yesterday and today:

1/22/10
Calories: under by 117 :mad: :grumble:
Water: yup got it all in
Exercise: nope, took the day off
Proud: That I am sticking to this even though I am not happy with the weigh loss Ive had so far. I used to do crazy diets that made me lose like 20lbs the first month and not seeing those bg numbers has gotten me down lately but I know that even though I am losing the weight slower it will stay off! All the other diets I gained all the weight back within weeks plus some! I am proud this is a lifestyle change that I can keep up forever
Sleep: 10+!!!! My mom offered to take my 1 year old for the night so I took full advantage of getting a good night's sleep:blushing: :happy:

Check in for today 1/23/10
Calories: not done yet but it looks like I will be under yet again
Water: nowhere near, water bottles were $2.50 and you couldnt bring your own in, got like 2 16oz bottles in so far
Exercise: walked all day from 1130-430
Proud: That I did not cheat, ate healthy all day inspite of all the great greasy food around me. Also SUPER proud that I took the stairs instead of the escalators
Sleep: will prob get 7+ going to bed at 10 or 11 and will be up with the baby by 7am

I am going to go relax, I deserve it~

Hugs,

Cris

YOu go girl...I am soo hoping i can run in the future...i run for 3 minutes on my wii games (in place of course) and don't think i am going to make it....hurts my knee...maybe when i am your size it will feel better But i do my 3 or so minutes and it is better than not doing anything.

Well i am not done eating today...but i am very proud of myself....in trying to find dinner looking at pizza websites...i decided not to give in (i know i could eat a piece or 2 but in knowing me today i would eat way too much...I ended up having a laura's lean beef and some baked chips.

I will definetly be over today but i am okay with it...i will work out some tonight...my lunch was actually much more cals than my dinner oh well....

Woah, I just slammed back into reality. I started looking at the St. Pat's day 5k website to see what the registration fee was & other information. I looked at the results from last year. The person who won last year ran the 5k in 15:53. :laugh: HA! My 36 minute goal would put me coming in around 1030 out of 1197 runners. As sad as it is, I'd be okay with that for my very first race. Now, to work on it!

HonestOmnivore

I'll check in for real later tonight - but OMG was today a waste! YIKES!

We took our boarder out for lunch at my favorite college bar & Grill. I never ate the apple I usually eat on my way to a restaurant, I'd slept in and skipped breakfast and Beth decided that we should just order appetizers!

It's her birthday... and I'm (gasp) weak!

2200 calories of salt, fat and beer later...

I'm trying to get re-hydrated so I can get on the elliptical machine!

HonestOmnivore

Oh I give - it's late and I'm not going to get onto that elliptical! (the shame!)

Calories - :noway: over is and understatement:devil:
Water - actually ok here because I've been drinking water all night!
Exercise - uhm.... zero:embarassed:
Sleep - YES I slept in this morning and took a long nap after my beer-fest (nap/passed out- I'm going with nap!):huh:

Proud - I'm proud that I'm not letting myself think I'm "off the wagon" just because I've missed working out two days in a row. I'll catch up tomorrow and I'll do fine. Even the rediculous crap I put into my body today only means I won't be the winner NEXT week - but I'm not going to gain fat because I didn't eat THAT much over my maintence calories - I just won't lose as much this week as I would have otherwise. I'm still on the path and it's all part of the journey.:indifferent:

That's my story and I'm sticking to it! :embarassed: :drinker: :yawn:

bluenote

well, lildeb, I found your pizza. :blushing: Yes, I went out to celebrate my friend's birthday and we went to a pizza place. Yes, I could have ordered a salad, but did I? Of course not! I ate almost an entire medium 12" pizza BY MYSELF (along with some beer, which I blame for allowing me to eat the darn pizza! ) (and of course I blame myself for drinking the beer, so there you go. :grumble: )
But, like mstahl, I am NOT letting this one night affect my mood or my diligence. Tomorrow is a new day and I am armed with healthy food in the fridge, just waiting to be eaten! :drinker:

cals: Met my 2400 PLUS some of my exercise calories. The first time since MFP that I ate my exercise calories! I feel like a stuffed sausage.
water: over 64
beer: uh....
exercise: got home and got on that bike ASAP - 40 mins.
proud: I knew I was going to eat out so I saved a lot of my calories for it. If I wouldn't have, I would have been waaayyyy over my cals.
oops forgot sleep: last night only 6 but I didn't know about the challenge until today. Tonight I will get 8!!!

Hello gals,

mstahl: you make me smile. :laugh: Great challenge, one I'm really excited about. I have to confess I didn't remember to do the stretches 3 times a day last week, not part of my daily routine I guess. I did well if I remember once in the day.:glasses: I am much nicer and fun to be around when I get my sleep...:yawn:

jlb123: way to go on your running! :flowerforyou: It is good you are taking advantage while you are so young. Oh to be 20 years younger again, my knees would be much happier to run. When I get more weight off we will have to see if I can take the impact. :sad: You go girl! If I came in dead last that would be huge just to be able to go that far.:noway:

coloradogirl: love the fun faces you have, they are different. Hope your mother is doing well.

We had planned to go skiing today but my youngest decided he didn't want to go in the storm. So hubby and I had a glorious day in the fresh snow cross country skiing ( I fell on the flat strait away, who falls when it is flat???) let me tell you it is much easier to get back up on a mountain than it is ( did I already mention it was FLAT):laugh: :laugh: What a sight....

Calories: yes, thank goodness for the exercise calories. I ate them all!
Water: yes +
Exercise: yes
Sleep: 9 If we can count after getting up, then going back to bed and getting more sleep. Hopefully there is a potty break clause, for the middle age.
Proud: That I went snowshoeing and then cross country skiing.

I have lost 2 pounds this week so far.I know this doesn't sound like alot but to me its BIG!!! I think I finally figured out what I was doing wrng and hopefully from now on I will see a loss of something even if its .2 or.3 of a pound.I am trying to do what my husband said and just focus on the healthy lifestyle I have created for myself.Eating right and exercising and then he said the weight will follow I just need to get my body in the sync of things.I am teaching it a new way of living instead of the junky way I was living before at almost 260 pounds and now 231.Last summer yes I was at 212 before I gained 20 pounds back but I believe I was losing the weight the wrong way and now I intend on getting it right.
Jbl-Couch25k is really kicking my butt but I am not giving up.
Bluenote-that is so cool we have a birthday in the same month and your dads is the same day as mine.I plan on being 50 pounds lighter for my birthday thats my first goal.Wish me luck!!!!
Lildebbie-Being a stay at home mom full time can be frustrating at times but also so rewarding.
