Black Team Week 8!!!!!

arewethereyet

Thank you everyone so much for sharing your stories on here. I am feeling really low for some unknown reason today - it may be that its my birthday next week and the first without my dad :sad:, but I really can't put my finger on it.

My weight seems to be hovering around 166, but about 2 months ago it hovered at 172, so I am trying to not let the weight rule me but to look at the shape of me ( but why oh why does the weight matter so much?????). Feeling so down today, I have tried to not eat sillily so have exercised and have done 70 mins on the bike and walked for 90 minutes, so have quite a few calories to eat for dinner tonight :ohwell: .

Thank you again for sharing, it makes me feel like I am around like minded people and not some of the narrow minded ones that are out their in the real world.

Happy friday people, and have a good weekend, xx

Have a good weekend Tanya!

I think that is the difference between a quick fix and a long term change. I have been on maint. cals for a year and lost approx 7 pounds. Because I continue to be more active and eat better foods..............my body regulates and then loses again.

Wow, I have so many posts I want to comment on! Im gonna have to try and come back later and do it though:ohwell: My friend is still in the process of moving and Im her only help.

I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday and I will be back!:happy:

Tammy - Your friend, her family and you and yours are in my thoughts and prayers. How tragic! God bless.

Sara - Huh...I've never witnessed getting more inches that what was promised....:noway: Usually it's the other way around....:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Bry - Congratulations on the loss and dates! Woo Hoo!

Wish I could write more. DH just left for a side job. Can't complain. God is good and has been listening. But, I have a zillion things to do today including a girl scout meeting so I need to get my rear in gear.

Happy Saturday folks!

Good morning team...I had a very busy day yesterday. My youngest had to bowl on his youth league and then we were off and running for the rest of the day. Had family dinner last night with my dad and step-mom and we went Wii bowling. We try to do this once every other week or so. I had too much to eat but we had a good time. Off to church, then the gym and back to type for 8 hours this evening. Hope you all have a wonderful day. The sun is shining here in SC but it is cold and windy. See y'all tomorrow.

Hello all,

We have had a dvd day today, well the boys have and I have been shredding and riding the bike. I have also signed up a new family to replace the minded child that has left and been into the loft to fine next stage carseats, oh and have had to clean the kitchen floor twice as the washing machine leaked, and when I thought I'd fixed it, it got worse and the waste pipe is blocked - we had a fountain of water gushing under the kitchen work top - very funny now but wasn't impressed at the time :laugh:

Hope everyone has had a good day / weekend

retrobaby

Sara - It's like an "ah-HA!" moment when you get past something that you've never been able to before. I lost weight in the past on weight watchers & gained it all back & then some, had baby after baby after baby & only saw the scale go up in between pregnancies. After my daughter was born, my best friend directed me to this site & I never looked back. I hope this is your place to do that, too. *hugs*

Ah-ha moments are the bomb. I also did Weight Watchers, more times than I care to count, lost 10-20, gained it back, fast. I usually settled right back to 195-200 pounds, my body liked it there.

For whatever reason, this last time I decided to tackle the weight loss beast, I decided to do it and do it right and do it for good. So when I complain that my body likes it at 150-153, smack me! It's way better than where I was for a long, long, long time. The lowest I ever was prior to MPF was 175ish and it never stayed for long.

Truly, for me the thing that changed was my lifestyle. I always heard that and thought, 'yeah, whatever'. I eat differently now, not just eating to stay within my calories, I eat different foods- there is a difference in my opinion. I exercise. Exercise was never a part of the equation before. Now exercise is a priority. So, yes, my lifestyle has changed.

It is a lot of fun to see others come along as they have their ah-ha moments too!

Seriously..... my body is hovering in the 168-173 range, and I ***** about it. My "comfy" range used to be the 205-211 range. I'm like Erma Bombeck, who once opined that over her life span she ventured to guess that she'd lost 1,020 pounds.....the same 20 pounds 51 times.

I'd love my comfort zone to be 158-163, and will still work towards that. Maybe when spring gets here and I have more hours in the daylight to get out running, and start training for the half, things will progress. But, I need to try and chill and see myself as the guy saw me yesterday who hadn't seen me in 5 years...."Wow, you look great!!!"

And, you know, my friends....let's remember OUR successes...I mean really try to remember your own successes to keep you going. I walked into the Dunkin Donuts yesterday, contemplating what donut I may want to get with my coffee (still battling the sugars, ugh)

I caught my reflection and remember the thrill and satisfaction i felt in August, when I was at the Solheim Cup with Sarah, catching my reflection in the Dunkin Donuts window, as a thin woman whose legs didn't rub together, and the thrill of knowing that I was leaving there with my UNSUGARED iced coffee.

That memory kept me from the donut. (it didn't quite keep me from the Gertrude Hawk chocolate later at the mall....but I digress...;)

My point? What...you want a point, too? I don't know that I have a point, people, except that we are awesome, have done some awesome things and have many yet to achieve.

Old, rambling lady signing off.

Marla - This is perfect. This is how I feel today. I'm upset that I let myself eat so friggin' much this week and past weekend. But, you know what, it doesn't define who I am. Not anymore. A year and a half ago, it woud have. But, not today. I can look at myself and see the good. I can see the not so good. When the not so good is showing - the pudgy, water retention, I know I can fix it. When I see that my muscle definition is disappearing. I know I can fix it. I don't let it get me down. I don't say the he$$ with it and go on weeks of binges. Thank you for your eloquent words. Thanks for putting my feelings too, into words! YOU lift ME up my friend!

Marla- good rambling my friend. I understood perfectly. I will still catch a glimse of myself at the gym in a mirror and that brief 'uh, skinny b!tch alert' thing runs through my head, then I realize it's ME. I will never stop loving the way I feel when I realize that reflection is my body.

Kati- you are exactly where I was last week. Guess what. You are different now. So am I. I let myself go, grumbled a bit, gasped at the scale, got back to it, and within 4 days am back to my 'ok weight'. You will be too! We can't be 100% all the time, but we can be 100% most of the time and that's what matters.

Sara- having people who understand how hard it is, how much work and dedication it takes and all the struggles involved make all the difference in the world. So happy you are able to experience it with us.

Never stop remembering who you were before. If you do, you'll stop remembering why you can't go back there. Time to share why we can't go back and why we need to be thankful for who we are now.

This is the most horrific picture I came across lately. There is another one taken right after this, I was bending over forward, it may be worse but the girls are practically falling out, so I spared you. It takes a lot to share this. It's embarrassing, I don't want to admit that was me, but it was, so it's ok to put it out to my friends, saying I dont want to go back.


One of my most recent progress pics. Sure I still have some work I would like to do... but in comparision to before, I can live with now.

You look smokin!!!

Mouthy Marla struck again today--

My daughter has been playing on a "Christian" basketball league (as a homeschooled student.) And, my friends, the behavior of these girls on this team and league is positively atrocious. Capital A-- Atrocious. Worse than what I find in our local community "pagan" league, to coin a term. I mean, hideous-- flagrant fouls, throwing elbows, heckling, taunting, pouting, whining, giving up-- it was horrible, and never addressed by the coach or parents on the sideline.

If my kid ever dared to pout and walk down the court when the ball is stolen, and give up and allow the other team to score unchallenged in any game, let alone a playoff game ... I'd be kicking some Brown butt immediately.

To my way of thinking, when the label 'Christian" is on something, it's held to a higher standard. We're representatives of God and the school, people-- helloooo????????

So, season is over, so I sent an e-mail to the coach and parents addressing some of the behavior of all the league, and the team in particular-- spanking them in my inimitable, polite and pointed way.

Curiously-- I've only had one reply-- the parent of the worst behaved girl on the team-- calling me judgmental. :sad:

Typical.

Oh well-- typing done for the day-- need to scoot.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Even if the parent didn't respond favorably, I'm glad you said something. Obviously, I know that Christians are also human, and therefore not perfect, but that is insane. It's just ridiculous for them to allow their kids to act like that in public and make no attempt to address it. Reminds me of preachers' kids. (Yes, I am aware that is a huge, insulting stereotype) That is certainly not ministering to anyone, and is pretty damn off-putting.

P.S. My mom would have given my sister and me "the look" and then if we didn't get those attitudes together...it would have been ON.

Marla64

Shuntae, seriously-- my kids know "the look." As recently as last fall my eldest laughed about how afraid of it he was.

This other parent who is offended says I come across as finding myself a better parent-- oh em gee-- I have a wayward teen on drugs right now, my friends-- tell me what a wonderful parent I am-- please!

This was about how we are projecting the name of "Christiany." It was a CHRISTIAN league, for crying out loud-- you know, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, self-control-- all those annoying little things that are supposed to be indicative of the Holy Spirit who dwells within us IF we purport to actually BE a Christian.

No, Christians aren't perfect by any stretch. But, like you said, good behavior is good behavior and is commanded in the scripture these people want to claim to believe--

Nothing gets me more apoplectic than these types of issues-- so, I made nice, told them I wasn't judging any one individual, but all of us, the team and league as a whole-- my own daughter threw a flagrant foul mid-season out of frustration, and I ripped her up one side and down the other.

And guess what, peeps-- it didn't happen again. Does that make me a "better parent" than them? No, it just makes me a FREAKING PARENT-- that's what I'm supposed to do. And I'm supposed to get results from my kid. That's how this is all supposed to work. Pant pant pant pant-- :sick: :explode:

okay-- I'm done.

The woman who is offended said that "judgmental Christians who think they're perfect," are what's damaging to Christianity. That it is what makes Christianity unappealing.

I don't know-- if I'm on the outside looking in, a 'non-Christian" witnessing the behavior of this league, of this group of professing Christians, what in the world would make it appealing to me? These children were monstrous, their parents clueless. The only time I'd hear them in the stands would be when they'd whine that the other team was behaving badly.

Aaarrrgggghhhhhh.

Really done now...promise.

Marla- oddly enough, I've heard on more than one occassion, more than one place we've lived, that that Christian sports teams were way worse than the regular old community ones.

We got nothing done this weekend. I'm trying not to be irritated, but I am. We have projects to do and the planning stages are taking for-freaking ever. I feel like I wasted an entire weekend and today was beautiful! Grrr.

Anyway, looked at 2 used hot tubs. The one yesterday was very nice and we met a super nice family. I cant' stop thinking about them. They bought their hot tub for their 16 year old son that was in an ATV accident 2 years ago for therapy. The son is 100% mentally competent, but can't walk alone, his sight is almost non existent and his thyroid was totally destroyed. My heart went out to them.

The son told us a story of a 'trip' he took while we was in a comma for 3 months- during which his brain was swollen and they had to remove part of his skull until the swelling went down. He told us of the spectacular sights, colors like he's never seen before, seeing his grandfather- his visit to Heaven. I can't even begin to remember all of the story, but it gave me goosebumps. What an amazing boy. He said he was promised that if he shared his story he would someday see again, so he's on a mission to share it with everybody he comes in contact with. Like I said, can't stop thinking about it. It's one of those things that leaves a lasting impression.

We looked at another one today. A little bit bigger, nicer and less expensive. Guess #2 wins, even though the family that owns #1 is still in my head.

Now I need to get over my I want it all and I want it all right now attitude. Really it's not even that so much, I do have patience, I just want to get started and DH is 'planning'. I like to plan as well as the next, but at a point, work needs to start! I was all ready to get in some good sweat work in the yard today. Notta. Crud.

Agreed on both counts. Can't stand a hypocrite, but I also can't stand the "holier-than-thou, you're going to hell if you disagree types." Not that I'm including you in that group, because I'm totally not...just saying I agree that both elements make for a horrible example.

Marla64

well, you're very kind, and I agree both extremes are trouble for sure.

Had an okay run-- felt like crud. Cold, TOM-- lovely stuff. But, I got my 5k in, and time wasn't bad.

Hubs tried to "coach" me towards the end.

"Okay, I see your problem." (I have a problem?) "Your upper legs aren't moving as much. You need to lift them more. Watch me."
"NO!"
"NO?"
"no! I'm trying to finish, leave me alone."

I'm babying my feet-- I'm lucky I can even pick my leg up and lay it down again without screaming-- ya know? :noway:

So, thank you all for the nice comments :flowerforyou: that is why I love you all so much!!!!!

Also, are there any of you that HATE mornings? :grumble: I am having a hard time deciding on my schedule for working out. I work in retail so my hours vary....and I HATE mornings! I guess my question is also....did you use to hate mornings and then made yourself go workout and now you like mornings?? I am wondering if that COULD maybe be me :yawn:

mumsanutter

Morning all,

Marla - I think that you did the right thing, and hopefully some of the people that received the email will sit up and take some notice.

Lori - I hate the planning stage as well, but at the mo that is all that happens unless I pay someone to do the jobs as dh is always working :frown: . The boy from your hot tub visit, really hit home with me and now you have helped him to share his story, so hopefully he will see it again.

Bry - I hate mornings until I get out of bed and then I just have to get on with it, but having 4 sons I don't really have a choice. I just try to fit my workouts in whenever I can cos it really depends on the children that I look after and my own boys.

Have been awake since 5.30am, but didn't get up until 6.30. Walked the boys to school this morning, and went to the supermarket to get some drain unblocker - I am hopeing that this will unblock the drain pipe for the washing machine so that I don't have to get anyone in :huh: .
Hope everyone has a good monday, will check back later. Have Christoper and MJ fighting over a board book!!!

retrobaby

Marla- I agree with you there is a level of accountability we all must have Christian or non-Christian especially when setting an example for our children. My daughter is 6 and I am already worried about all the "wordly" things she will be subjected to.

Shuntae- Totally agree with you.

Lori- Spent all weekend at one party or another. NO time for anything arghhhhhhhh

Bry- I try to squeeze exercise in anytime I have a chance, but I know how important a schedule can be. Oh and I'm glad to hear your social life is "popping":glasses:

Andrew- Are you out there? I hope all is well faithful leader.

Black Team- Happy March. New month, new challenges. I hope to, at least lose 6 lbs this month.

{{{{{{{Have a great Week}}}}}}}

I hate mornings. My hubby says I am a night owl. A lot of times I end up doing housework about midnight because I'm wired. I have to get up early and get the kids ready for school. Most days I force myself to go ahead and exercise before I start work and that way I'm sure I'll get it done. Never know what the evening will bring

tamelab

Good Monday morning Black team...I am here and awake so all is well. Hope you all had a great weekend. I am ready to kick my butt in gear. I have a mini goal to lose 10 pounds by April 7. I plan to exercise 5-6 days a week and get my water in. That is probably the hardest thing for me. I just don't like water but I'm learning. Everybody have a wonderful day!

Marla...I play softball on a church team and sometimes I am shocked at the attitudes. I absolutely hate seeing someone fight over a game and can't stand attitudes. I just play to have a good time and if we can't do that I will go to the house. Our last game ended in the fall with some ugly words between our coach and a player from the other team. I was very embarrassed. I'm not sure we will have a team this season because several of our players were so humiliated they don't want to play anymore. We will see. Nobody is perfect, but I feel like I should shoot for a higher standard when my uniform shirt has 3 crosses on the front of it. I feel like people are watching more closely to see how you will handle certain situations and you can either be a good example or a bad one. Maybe next season will be better. Good luck.

Nonibug

Good morning everyone!

I hope everyone had a good weekend...it seemed kind of quiet on the boards here compared to usual...

I had a busy weekend, just not outside of the house. Between cleaning and having 2 people in the house sick...yuck:sick:

The kids are home from school today, Casimir Pulaski Day. They are all ready for Spring Break to get here, even my oldest thats in his second year of college. He called me over the weekend telling me he is sooo sick of school right now. I think the stretch between Christmas vacation and spring break is really tough for them...especially when theres alot of snow and no school gets cancelled around here. They start getting spring fever and are halfway through the school year, wanting it to end:laugh:

Well, Im about to head to the gym. Hope everyone has a great Monday!

P.S. Where oh where is Andrew...?

mumsanutter

Weird question time here....... does anyone have the zumba fitness dvds? and are they any good? Saw a teleshopping advert for them this am, and am wondering weather to get them for myself for my birthday??
