Over 200 Club New Year New Body-Part 7

I think I am the big loser this week at 9 pounds. :-D

Mari said I was to make a challenge for the week, and I challenge everyone to replace all drinks this week with water. No soda, milk, juice, beer, wine I guess coffee and tea are ok, but nothing but water.

Hey Girls,

I have not been around, just not feeling like posting but I did not want you all to forget about me. I am dealing with something that is quite unexpected and it has thrown me for a loop. :sad: One good thing in all this is it has brought my husband and I even closer than we already were. He is a wonderful man, I am a lucky girl

We would NEVER forget you. Please know we are here for you, no matter what loops are thrown at you. I am praying for you and your husband.

Mari, send your mother to her room! LOL :laugh: OK OK OK I will take a week without my vodka for the team! :sad: Can we squeak milk into the good stuff? I don't think I can live without my milk in my coffee or my Fiber One! :noway:

cals: 100 under, but oh my, sodium is over by 2K. :grumble: Darn buffet!
water: 64+
exercise: 40 bike
proud: Two friends that I had not seen in three weeks complimented me on my weight loss. They could not believe it! :blushing: :happy:

Thanks for your well wishes bluenote, mhstahl and your message momma2four. It was a tough day, but not as many sad moments as I was afraid of, but did make me more conflicted about having to sell the house. Being there again just made me realize how much I would hate to lose the heritage of being able to go there with my family. I appreciate your advice mstahl, I agree that it has very little to do with the money we would get from selling because it would be minimal in comparison to what we are giving up. The hard part is figuring out how we can keep up with maintenance when none of us plans to live there (and we are 2.5 hours away), and 2 of the 5 of us for sure don't want to keep it, so the remaining three have to figure out if we can all afford to buy the others out , and pay for other estate costs that are supposed to come out of the sale of the house. We agreed to try to come up with more exact estimates for all the costs so that we can all give it more thought. I want to make sure we take our time to think this over. I know in the fall I was more in favor of selling because I could hardly stand to be in the house when it made me so sad, but with time that has gotten easier. Hopefully we can work it out to keep it.
Needless to say I ate more than I should have when we were there as it was stressful, but I worked out hard this morning so still had calories to spare.
I was happy to see a pound loss on the scale this morning, so even though it isn't our official weigh in day - I recorded it.
checking in:
calories: good - could have made better choices but stayed under because of exercise
exercise: great - 90 minutes at the Y this morning for 1500 calories
water: way under
proud: that I got in my workout, knowing it was going to be a tough day

Milk is okay, but in moderation.

we will all be floating next week.

Checking in for 2/27
Calories - under ( ate some of my ex cals)
Exercise - 30 day shred level one and my sit ups week 3 day 2
Water - under - about 6
proud that I still did my sit ups even though I was tired after the shred. :drinker:

My shred experience was not too bad at all.
I had to stop and catch my breath a few times but only for a couple of seconds. I was worried that having not worked out in years, I would by dying :sad: but the rotation of exercises, strength, cardio, abs, keeps it manageable and the time flew by. Thank goodness.

Hi ladies,

I had an awful night, eating wise. here is my check in:
2/27/10
calories- way over
water- great
excercise- helped a friend move into a new house lots of stairs
sodium- triple the amount i normally get
proud- not really

I had beer, fries, mozz sticks, a cheeseburger, and a 8in cheesesteak all yesterday. I dont know wtf happened. :grumble: :explode: :sad: I am so dissapointed with myself.:brokenheart: But its 8am and I am headed out to the gym to burn this crap off. I also didnt do my sit up work out yesterday so I have to do that today also!

ugh:huh:

HonestOmnivore

Checking in for yesterday - sounds like Chris found my extra calories? Sorry Girl!

Calories - under- I was supposed to have left over chicken noodle soup but couldn't face the carbs so I had half a cup of cottage cheese with some cinnamon on top and it was nice!
Water - under but I really tried!. I sat by the fire with a bottle of water and whined...

Proud - that I didn't have a glass of wine even though I figure the week doesn't start till Monday ;-)

I'm making stroganoff for lunch at my sisters. I'm using venison and I cooked the onions and mushrooms in just a little olive oil. I wondering if I can use the Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream? Or will even a warm temperature break it up? Hmmmm....

Cris -- sounds to me like all you did was "shock" your metabolism. :laugh: If you get right back at it, I wouldn't be surprised if you had a big loss this week!

02.27.10
Calories: 1335
Exercise: 25 minutes jogging, 20 minutes walking, 3 hours bowling, 5 hours @ physical photo job (lots of set up/tear down/running around/kneeling/squatting)
Water: I think only 6 cups. I wasn't thirsty which is weird because I was so active.
Proud: Not so much proud as I am happy that for the first time I had a longish photo job and I wasn't exhausted afterward! I haven't had a job there in a couple months because it was our down season (I'm a contract photographer so only get sporadic work) and the last one I had wasn't physical because it was indoors. Last year when I had a 5 hour shoot I'd be completely exhausted after and would have a huge headache and would end up sleeping for the rest of the day! Yesterday I got home, cooked lunch, took my dog for a jog, cleaned my house, cleaned myself, and then went bowling for 3 hours! I was up from 6am -2am and was active the entire time and I was fine. That's amazing.

On a not so happy note, I woke up at 5am COVERED in hives! :huh: I got up & took some benadryl and went back to bed but when I woke up this morning they were coming back again. The first and only other time I ever broke out into hives was 2.5 years ago and I figured out it was the new fabric softener I had started using a couple weeks before. This time I don't think I've changed anything but it must be something in my sheets because since I've gotten out of bed (yeah... I slept until 11am) they've subsided again. What a freaky weird body reaction. :sick:

cris20056

mstahl- thanks for the extra calories!:laugh: I am SO proud of you for skipping the wine, I can imagine that was hard!

jlb- congrats on being able to have so much energy to do your job! But sorry about the hives!

I went to the gym for about 45 mins before I had to leave for the day. I still dont feel like I did nearly enough to counteract my stupidness from last night. I might try to go back, but I dont want to over do it. I have c25k w4d1 tomorrow and I am already freaking out about the 5 mins. I have accepted the fact that I will probably have to re-do this week, maybe in 2 weeks I will be able to run for 5 mins straight!

I'll be back later to check in, going to a bday party right now (dont worry there is no way in hell i am eating anything bad after last night)

I am getting so much exercise from my Wii and I love it because it doesn't feel like a workout.I have been on it for like an hour today and I ave worked up a big sweat [playing tennis on Wii Sports.Anyone else love there Wii workouts?I also have Ea Active and I have been running the track on it and I love it as well.I do lunges,stretches,running,kicks,squats,bicep curls,shoulder presses and whole bunch more.I LOVE IT!!

Are you telling me that purchasing a Wii is just an investment in my health? LOL I should tell this to my Fiancee, it'll justify the expence! I'd LOVE to get something that doesn't feel like a workout, but also is something I can do with him, and doesn't require taking the baby out of the apartment in bad weather, like walks in the park (the baby gets real fussy if we're outside for more than like 15 minutes, 'cause it's cold & that doesn't leave too much time to walk anything off!)

Absolutely I believe the Wii can be an investment in your health it is for me.I am losing major inches right now and not so many pounds but some are coming off.I get to play games with my children while I am also getting a workout the same way I would if I would play sports or run outside.I love it and I am going to continue to use it forever.I danced for 2 hours today and although I don't know how many calories I burnt I do know I was sweating and my heart rate was up so I know I burnt a ton of calories today.I LOVE MY Wii!!!!!!!

There are several great games you can buy for the Wii that offer a good workout. I have Wii fit and Jillian Michaels Fitness Revolution 2010...something like that. And I plan to buy the Biggest Loser Game. I also have the Jillian Michaels 20 Day Shred and Biggest Loser Last Chance Workout and both are working good for me and showing results.

I plan on getting the Wii Fit Plus and the Biggest Loser Game as well.I have sports games that I can play with my children that require alot of movement and I also have the EA Active Sport and I LOVE IT!! I get a workout everyday and I am teaching my children that exercise can be fun although they already knew that and they tell me everyday "Mom you need to exercise so you can get skinny and I can buy you new clothes" this being said by a 5 year old LOL!!Got to love being a mom though best feeling in the world.
