    Catzwitch: Welcome to the thread! This is a very welcoming group that I haven't been with long but am grateful I found! Everyone here is super supportive, so feel free to join. Every day, we post our stats including calories, water intake, exercise, and something we're proud of. This week, we're also keeping track of how much sleep we get.

    Rororosie: Wow, that's a ton of stuff to keep track of, but it's great that you have a positive attitude about it. I noticed you mention vocal exercises. What kind of singing do you do? I love to sing but only do it for fun (karaoke these days).

    I sure hope no one truly feels left out of this amazing group! You're all awesome and inspirational!!

    Heather

    Welcom Catzwitch too, love your name!

    Heather, I am a singer-songwriter and I mostly write alt-rock stuff, with a dark folk but also psychedelic sensibility -- I am influenced by all forms of rock, power pop, and almost a smidge of everything else: folk, country, musicals, hip hop, world music... Really most songs you write can be productionized to any genre... so sorry, going off on a tear there...

    So right now I am taking vocal lessons from a guy who teaches all forms of vocals but he has a rock background, so that helps me a lot. used to be in a "band"... it was really a duo. It was when I was recording with my bandmate that I realized I needed lessons. Then I found my vocal instructor. My bandmate and I split up because I wanted to study and perfect my technique and he mostly wanted to have fun and write. My exbandmate is a good writer and has some talent ... I am just a perfectionist and want to strengthen areas that I am weak in...

    (Are you sorry you asked now? :laugh: )

    My instuctor is also a guitar teacher and a producer. He's a super guitarist! and also sings very well.... I studied singing with him a little then because of illness took a song-writing course from him. He produced one of my songs, but I didn't like the vocals so went back to lessons to learn to sing better. I first did music in grade school and high school and sang and played guitar then and wrote songs... I left music when I was 19 and had a baby and didn't come back until my late 40s so I am a VERY LATE bloomer and I just want to tell EVERYONE... IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO PURSUE YOUR DREAMS .... NEVER GIVE UP!!!!

    Rororosie: I'm having similar problems as you this week ... too much thinking and worrying all the time.
    I didn't even enjoy my morning step class because I was so wrapped up in thought - wore off 120 less calories than normal too ... so that was bad! :grumble: I agree with momma2four about calling your daughter ... but I'm also a mom who had an argument with my almost 16 year old last night when she wasn't happy to get underwear and sunglasses as gift one for her birthday 'week.'... I tried to explain that when you get gifts every day for a week (which is a new tradition we started last year) - some are going to be smaller than others ... especially when we just bought her an expensive letter jacket as well as a car (inexpensive old car for $175 from my dad ... but still! title, insurance, etc.). So I was not happy with her comment that her gift must be a joke ... she did kind of apologize later and explain that she wasn't thinking about how many days of gifts she would be getting and was expecting ice skates so was initially disappointed. But of course the mother in me that felt guilty about dissapointing my daughter was out shopping for too many clothes and jewelry for her today! and she will be getting her skates ... just not until her actual birthday next week. It's hard being mom sometimes.... endless guilt and frustration, but also loads of love, pride and satisfaction. I had a terrible relationship with my mother when I was a teen, and into my twenties ... probably fault on both sides, but I am trying desperately to have a better relationship with my daughter. One thing that always bothered me was how easily my mother gave in to letting me sulk and be apart from my family ... and let her hurt feelings dictate how she reacted to me - like not going to my school events if I told her I didn't want her to be there (but I was secrectly hurt when she wasn't). I try to tell myself that 'I am the adult' and 'she is the child', and I need to be the one to make things work. I know your daughter isn't a child anymore, but you are still the older and wiser. Good luck!

    Welcome Catzwitch!

    checking in:
    calories: just barely over ... which is HUGE for me on a non-exercise day ... it's been awhile since I could say I did well on calories
    exercise: nothing yesterday, did make it to the Y this morning for an hour
    water: not enough
    proud: that I managed to make healthier food choices and just barely went over on calories

    Have a great night all!

    No it's really hard I agree.... I have the same situation with my daughter's ingratitude for what I give her but she is 32 now so you would think she would be more understanding than a 16 year old. I am feeling that by now I might benefit from saving some money for my retirement rather than just pouring money into her. I am not wild that she will be the one taking care of me if I need it when I am elderly; she gets so cranky. I watched her take care of my Mom and she was very dedicated but not always nice about it, and I am very sensitive. So I don't want to be beholden to her when I'm elderly... better lose this weight!

    I am getting answers on both sides of the fence: some say pursue her, others say don't. Whenever that is the case I think hmmm... either it is probably okay either way OR maybe a middle way is good.... so maybe I will mildly pursue her rather than avidly? So that means instead of calling her every day, call her every two or three days .... ?

    Either way, I do need to have stronger boundaries with her anyway and she will not like it. Whether or not I LOVE her, I just cannot afford to be resentful of her. So I need to say NO and take care of ME sometimes. I didn't have a huge load in a way, not like mother's of multiple kids. I was a single mom of one daughter and I messed up a lot when she was young, but I've done my best to get her through her bachelor's degree and help her grow. I'm at the point where I question if my continuing to edit her papers in her Master's degree or buy her expensive clothes is really helping her and it's starting to hurt me.

    I did apologize to her for my part in our fight, twice now and no word from her. I almost feel if I pursue her a lot, it is like saying, the wrongs were all mine, and your bad behavior over Christmas to me and to my sister have no consequences. I felt like when I agreed to replace her BearClaws ($50) with Uggs($100) it was mostly under duress. She was sulking and I wanted her back in the room with the family BUT SHE IS A GROWN WOMAN, not a kid... I am doing what I said I would do (except I am going to send her a gift certificate for the Uggs, not the Uggs themselves and let her pick them out herself.) but it makes me wonder.... was that the right thing to do?

    What if I did pass away? My mother is gone and I don't regret the years I spent angry at her... I needed to be angry for a while to come to my own, but I do regret that AFTER I forgave her, I didn't always spend time with her or treat her right.... I had a child so even when I was not close to her I made sure I called her and told her how I was... the difference is, my daughter doesn't have a child so she doesn't have the empathy...

    Sorry I'm going on today...

    Rororosie, you did the right thing by apologizing to her. You can't do more than that. I also think calling her once a week just to say Hi is fine. You do not have to put a guilt trip on your self. My feelings on the boots is if she did not like the one pair she got for Christmas she could return them and add HER OWN money to upgrade them to uggs. I do not blame you for being upset about that.


    lstpaul, don't you just LOVE teenagers. They are wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:indifferent:

    awestfall, you are the best!!!!:flowerforyou: Not someone I will ever forget. We have been together here for awhile and you were one of my first friends on this site.

    Rororosie, as a mother to another mother go ahead and chase her. Our job is to :heart: LOVE:heart: them unconditonally(and I know you do) We do not always receive their appreciation for making the first step. That does not matter. Even if she does not tell you that she appreciates it. She will. As for that bff, I would just let her know that you have not decided what you want to do this weekend and if she does not mind you will let her know before it gets here and feel free to make other plans if you are unable to wait. Your time is still yours. As for the relationship, you never can tell what is going to happen unless you just let it happen. We have to take risks for happiness. Sorry you can't get some of your wants, but good attitude on appreciating that the needs are provided for!!!


    Cris, glad you are here and thanks for the encouragement!!!!!!!!!
    I know Momma I was just teasing!!!:heart: Well girls I am going to go ahead and post today my weight loss for tomorrow because I am not weighing in tomorrow because TOM is probably going to be here any day now.So I am going to go with my weight yesterday which was 230.(today it is up to 238 and I know I didn't eat anything for it to be this high so like I siad I am going to stick with my weigh in yesterday)So thats 3 pound loss for me this week if everyone is ok with me doing this.I don't have to be apart of the biggest loser challenge this week but I don't want to change my ticker to reflect an 8 to 9 pound gain in one day.ITS WATER RETENTION and on top of that I am sick again but I am trying not to let it get me down and regardless I have exercised today for an hour on my elliptical.With that said I hope you all are having a great day!!!I didn't log any of my food today but I think I did pretty well.I will definitely start logging tomorrow to keep track of things when TOM hits(probably tomorrow).

    Wow Istpaul you sound so much like me and your almost 16 year old sounds like my almost 16 year old.I want to ring her neck sometimes because I really do feel sometimes she doesn't appreciate all I do for her and then like you said the guilt of not getting them exactly what they want makes you frustrated as well.No wonder men let us deal with this!!!!

    I am pooped. My students had their orchestra concert tonight. I am not the orchestra teacher (I teach vocal music), but I felt the need to go to support my students. They were adorable, especially the little ones - the violins were as big as they were! I just got home for the first time and it is 10pm. I don't think I have the energy for any more exercising, so I am taking my chances on tomorrow's weigh in. :ohwell: Sounds like a lot of us are a little nervous about the weigh-in, including me. But hey, they are just numbers - they don't define us. Remind me I said this tomorrow when I cry about my weigh in. :laugh:

    Welcome, catzwitch. :flowerforyou:
    awestfall - congrats on the 3 lb. loss! I am so proud of you! :flowerforyou:
    COGirl - congrats on the inches lost! You go, girl! :flowerforyou:

    check in:
    cals: OK but way over on sodium - ouch!
    water: 64
    exercise: 10 mins bike, 10 mins walk (I tried to fit it in at school! Too many interruptions!)
    proud: I wore my 5x shirt to school today and it wasn't tight! I got a lot of compliments on it! Plus my parents at the strings concert tonight kept complimenting me on how great our Michael Jackson show was back in November. That made me feel really good. :bigsmile: And I had to grab lunch and dinner quickly and made good choices - grilled chicken salad for lunch with fat free dressing & grilled chicken wrap for dinner with no dressing. Yay!
    sleep: 7 last night

    I really think my 3 yr old dislieks this sleep challenge....She usally sleeps till like 6 but everday (except yesterday when I had to get up early anyway) wakes up at the freaking crack of dawn...5 this morning..maybe when this sleep challenge is over she will sleep late :yawn: :yawn: :yawn:

    Well i did my weigh in this morning...it was higher than yesterday :grumble: :grumble: I am convinced when i am woken earlier that i weigh more..i know it is in my head but i will go with that....But with TOM here i guess i will take it

    Today 284.0 - that is a loss of .8 lbs this week for a % of .28 %

    Its not a gain so I will take it.

    This morning I am seriously tired.. did not sleep well and got to bed late last night. Apparently my sister was on the brink of suicide Wed night. She was all set to take a handful of pills and never wake up and a friend called her. She ended up taking a hot bath and going to bed. Yesterday she woke up with the realization she needs help and made an appointment at a mental hospital for next Thursday. I am really worried about her, she has always danced to the beat of a different drum.. but.. WOW. So, I was on the phone with her late into the night last night and am feeling a bit helpless.

    230 for me so thats a 3 pound loss but you guys don't need to count it in the biggest loser weigh in because I weighed in on Wed because my TOM is coming and I am already fluctuating about 4-5 pounds cause I know I haven't ate enough to gain 5 pounds back in 2 days.Good luck everyone else

    I'm down 1.6 pounds from last week. I'm SUPER happy with this because as of Wednesday I was exactly the same as last week. :laugh: My body has apparently found a way to surprise me on weigh-in day even though I weigh everyday. :tongue: It's a weird pattern, but as long as it's steadily decreasing, I don't care what kind of pattern it is.


    Lildebbie ....... .28% .8lbs
    Cogirl.............. .19% .5lbs
    jlb123............. .72% 1.6lbs

    Check in for yesterday:
    01.28.10
    Calories: 1184 :ohwell: (can you say hypocrite?)
    Exercise: 20 minutes stationary bike, 25 minutes running, 10 minutes walking (c25k w7d2)
    Water: 96oz
    Sleep: ehhh 6 hours? (I soooo did better last night, though!)
    Proud: I ran farther in 25 minutes than the past couple times. I increased my speed by .2mph so I got .1 mile farther! Doesn't sound like much, but if I try to do that every time, I'll increase my speed by a full mph in just a couple weeks. :smile:

    Good Morning girls :)

    I am so sorry i have not been posting for a while...it has been a stressful week! Since my mother in-law came to *visit* it has been a roller coster...i am feeling all the bumps of this ride. I feel so tired and i thing TOM is coming soon...i can feel it in my bones.

    I can't wait until my household goes back to normal! I think she will be here for a long while because she is very sick and came from overseas to see what's wrong wiht her...

    i Hope everyone has an amazing weight loss...I miss you gals. :(

    Good morning!

    COgirl: First, congrats on the inches lost! That's awesome! Secondly, I'm sorry to hear about your sister's issues but I am SO glad she realized she needed help and asked for it. Obviously, someone above was watching out for her and had her guardian angel here on earth call her. I don't know if you're a country music fan, but the situation is exactly what "The Call" by Matt Kennon is about. I hope all goes well with your sister.

    Rororosie: Thanks for sharing the information about your music experiences. I love music but am not talented in it. I think it's amazing that you're pursuing your passion. You're right, it's never too late to follow one's dreams!

    Here are my stats for yesterday 1/28/2010:
    Calories: Way under
    Water: 40 oz.
    Exercise: None, unless you count shopping and trying on a ton of clothes.
    Sleep: 6 hours (I'll make it up this weekend)
    Proud: That I cleaned out my closet and got rid of all of the size 16s and several of the 14s that are not flattering to my body shape!

    My current weight is 197.4, so I have a 0.504% weight loss this week (1 pound).

    Last night, I went shopping for new bras and ended up buying three! I went down from a 40D to a 38D (yay!). I also found great deals on thermal underwear, gloves and workout pants. Woohoo! Afterwards, I cleaned out the closet and go rid of two garbage bags full of clothes and gave my mom some clothes that are now too big for me. My sister also cleaned out her clothes and I got three pairs of jeans and a sweater from her that are now too big. It was so much fun; like shopping at home!

    Hope you all have a great day,
    Heather

    CoGirl, I am so sorry about your sister. I understand why that would make you feel helpless.

    lildeb, stress makes you hold fluid and getting up too early is stressful

    awestfall, you did fantastic this week and I think you SHOULD participate in the biggest loser this week.

    CoGirl, I am so sorry about your sister. I understand why that would make you feel helpless.

    lildeb, stress makes you hold fluid and getting up too early is stressful

    Well if everyone is ok with it I will but I didn't want anyone to feel like I cheated because I weighed in on Wed because I knew TOM is almost here and I tend to retain water for 2 or 3 days before it visits.

    Good Morning girls :)

    I am so sorry i have not been posting for a while...it has been a stressful week! Since my mother in-law came to *visit* it has been a roller coster...i am feeling all the bumps of this ride. I feel so tired and i thing TOM is coming soon...i can feel it in my bones.

    I can't wait until my household goes back to normal! I think she will be here for a long while because she is very sick and came from overseas to see what's wrong wiht her...

    i Hope everyone has an amazing weight loss...I miss you gals. :(
