Springing Sixers Week 2

Phoenix_Rising

B -- an entire family sized portion of salad??? Honey, WAY TO GO!!! I am totally being serious. If you need to eat to fill an emotion, stuff yourself full of healthy veggies until you can calm it down. Don't worry about that, sweetie.

Kris - I love Kadence's picture. Little sweetpea. She is a doll.

Cathy, I LOVE your new profile pic. You look HOT!!!!!

Hey ladies!! Sorry I did such a poor job posting last week, school is crazy right now!! But my goal is to post on here everyday and reporting good choices and not so good ones!!

I would like to ask you all to say your prayers and keep me in your thoughts on Thursday. I take my Oral Comprehensive Final for my Masters which is basically talking for two hours straight to a panel of faculty and professionals about everything I've learned in the last two years. AHHHHHH!!! Super stressed about it but trying not to eat my feelings as usual.

Everyone looks like they are doing such a great job!! so proud of and inspired by you all!!

Well I can't believe I lost a lb. Amazing! I leave on Sat for the Cruise. YEA!!!!

Kristen- sounds like a good plan for exercise. This is a great time of year to walk. The weather is very nice here in St. Louis. By mid june it's usually hot and by the end of July it's unbearable for most people.
Well it's late right now and i need to sleep. nite everyone. Sandy

Hi guys. This is me being selfish and not addressing personals, so sorry and thanks for reading my rant.

I'm frustrated with me. I had a 9 week goal of losing weight for my anniversary. Not only did I not lose the weight I wanted, but yesterday I proceeded to spend all day depressed, mostly in bed, and pigging out on junk, knowing full well I would feel physically, mentally, and emotionally ill today, which I do. I know that beating myself up isn't productive, but that isn't stopping me. Snapping at my family for my mistakes also isn't an option, but it still happens too. I'm a fairly intelligent person. I understand the concept of less calories in versus more calories burned out. I know all the positive things I would tell you guys if one of you was posting this. Yet, reasoning is out of the question for me at the time. I'm supposed to step on the scale this morning and feel so "sick" that I know the wisest thing is not to do it.

I thought this whole food/diet/health consumption thing was consuming me too much so I decided to take a week off of logging and obsessing. I didn't eat any better (actually ate worse), and ended right back here. The problem isn't the food. I know the problem is me.

I'm a control freak. And I am frustrated, irritated, aggravated, disgusted that I seem to lack SELF-CONTROL. Heck, even if I wanted to be anorexic, I couldn't. It's more a self-destruction relationship I have developed with food and with exercise.

Anyway, sorry guys. Don't really have anywhere else to go with these feelings and couldn't quite write them down in my journal.

Thank you guys as always for being there for me and listening to me and encouraging. You guys are awesome and I am constantly re-motivated by your successes, and even by the way you continually push forward even when you have backslides.

Have a great day!

bahamomma87

Kristin-- love your workout plan ! i am so EXCITED for my Firm to arrive today or tomorro ! well its probably here to the freight office... but they dont allow pickup until late today or tomorrow ! so im a ball of excitement ! GOOD FOR YOU for making a plan ! im basically trying to do some kinda of 2-3 miles a day ...... (leslie sansone) .... and some sort of cardio/strength tape with weighted balls, weights, or the firm ! a couple times a week ! we can do this

Amy lou-- definately keep you in my prayers as you have something to conquer this week... you will rock it ... have faith in yourself..... and yes def. keep up the awesome eating..... i think if we assigned some sort of healthy activity to any kind of feeling such as cleaning when im annoyed, walking when im sad, going to the beach when im whatever .... ya know?? i think we would all do awesome ! cuz i think its bred in our minds to eat our emotions as you said haha !

Sandy -- so proud of you !! and YAY For a cruise ! WOOHOOOO ! ... that is awesome ! ive never been on one but i kinda want to wait till my babe is older and may want to stay with his gramma and papa .... is that selfish?? lol ... I just cant bear to leave him anytime soon... so when he WANTS to stay ... then maybe that year we will go on a cruise ! sometime while he in school that way my mom would only have to actually "watch" him after school and night-time !


Lorna-- oh my sweet friend.... You vent anytime you have to ... its what we are here for girl .... I know what your feeling cuz i did it to myself on the weekend... before i kicked myself in my rear... and said Everytime i think of eating something bad.... THINK ABOUT how awesome it feels to go down one pound on the scale ya know? ... and it even stopped me from ruining my whole day yesterday with a piece of carrot cake my hubby brought me after 9 .... i told him no way this doesnt taste good enough to even ruin my awesome day ! ....but a week ago i woulda devoured the entire piece of cake and felt guilty afterwards.... so i think we all go in cycles.... !!!! Yep food is not the enemy... we our own enemy sometimes... we have to give ourselves a break though when we slip up ... and learn from it and move on ... and keep on rocking it ! You will conquer your goal ... better late then NEVER right?? ... xoxox !

AFM:

well i know i said i wouldnt weigh .... BUT im happy i did... because i actually saw 265.4 after eating healthy for TWO DAYS ! ..... down from seeing 268 again a few days ago ..... SO I got up immediately out of bed... and went to work out and did 25 mins of cardio .... I feel like tom is coming cuz i feel like im "dragging" .... but i still ate healthy for breakfast !

Meal Plan:

B- 1 cup of corn flakes
1/2 cup of 2 % milk

L- 1 cup of garden noodles
Shrimp, olive oil, carrots, veggie stir fry
1 slice whole wheat toast

S- Apple

D- 1 grilled chicken breast
Steam broccoli and mushrooms
1 cup Red beans n rice
1 garden salad with 1 serving croutons and 1 tbsp dressing

S- 1 cup of tea with 1/2 cup 2% milk
1 Pepperidge farm nantucket cookie

That will put me on the lower end of my point range !
and sounds like a pretty awesome day to me !

gonabfit

Good morning ladies! I'll weigh in tomorrow morning Rushing off to school/work now. Woke up to run and do some quick strength and now I have to go to school :-)

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

kistinbee

Good morning girls!!!

AmyLou...I'll be thinking of you! And I know you'll do great!

Lorna...oh sweetie...feel free to vent whenever you need to...that is what we are here for! You are a strong person and I know you can overcome this. I think most people go through phases like this, and being aware of it is the first step. I understand the struggle of eating healthy...I am at that point myself. This week has been a little better for me so far...and I think it's because I realize that I will NEVER reach my goals if I continue to say "it's just one day of eating bad, I can do better tomorrow..." because I was saying that EVERY day and NEVER eating right. So...it's time for us to pick ourselves up and make the choices we want to make. We CAN find our self-control. We CAN acheive our goals. We CAN conquer all the obstacles we face. We CAN do it! So, let's make today a good day, and THEN we will worry about tomorrow!

Sandy...thanks! I think it's a good plan for me for right now. Something totally do-able! And have a BLAST on your cruise! That is something we've never done! We hope to someday, like Amy said, once the kiddo is older! You'll have to tell us ALL about it!

Well...yesterday was my 2ND successful day!!! I ended up with 107 REMAINING calories!!!!! I got in a lovely 2 mile walk with Kadence, and then did my 15 minute lower body workout (which kicked my butt!) Tonight the plan is another walk and my 15 minute Ab workout! Here's the meal plan:

B-single serving oatmeal, 1/2 c. skim milk, 2 c. coffee, 4 tbsp. sugar-free creamer
S-trail mix bar, banana
L-homemade tuna salad (leftover from yesterday), 15 Kashi crackers, 1 wedge laughing cow light swiss, baby carrots, light yogurt
S-yellow apple
D-Chicken and rice casserole and a garden salad with spritzer dressing
S-???probably some more red grapes!

Well...off to start some work! Have a good morning all!!

frogy_98

Hey all,

Sorry ladies dont have time for personals, but just wanted to say goodmorning and hope everyone has a great day.

Me and my daughter are having a girls day, hubby is going golfing after work so we are walking over to the store to pick up some fruits and veggies on the day. Hoping to repeat last night and have fruit for dessert instead of something I dont need.

Will hop on later and do personals.

Take Care

chipper15173

lunch time, but had to pop in real quick.

lula been thinking about you since i read the post this morning, but, had to take the car in for it's bodily fluids change. thinking of you the whole time. i know you believe in God. i read some where yesterday that he wants us to enjoy life. it is he who gave us life, so enjoy it and don't let stress, bad times, pot holes, mountains get you down. pick your self up and enjoy life. live for today as tomorrow isn't a promise. start now this minute and move on. like kristen said you keep telling yourself tomorrow. as with her my tomorrow never came either until a week or so ago. i missed allot of tomorrows i would say months worth. you are worth every breath you take, you are loved, and worth life. love ya.....

hope everyone has a great day. enjoy the weather and life.......

Day 3- 60 mins of Leslie Sansone

Day 5- Rock it Off & Express Cardio & Power Mile LEslie Sansone
Day 6- Rock it off Express & 30 mins of leslie sansone

That way even on my rest days from the firm im getting a longer walk with leslie sansone... so it looks like ill be doing roughly 1-2 miles on the firm days.... and 3-5 miles on the rest days !

Also, the old points system for weight watchers is working beautifully

1 cup singapore noodles
1 veggie spring roll

And im under my points still ! yay !

cant wait for tomorrow !

kistinbee

Yay Amy!! Isn't it wonderful to have a perfect day!! I did as well! Although I did not get in my walk today...which I am pretty annoyed about! It SO looked like it was going to rain and the temp dropped so I decided not to take off with Kadence (didn't want to have her caught in a downpour). Turns out it NEVER rained! I am TOTALLY annoyed! Oh well...but I did do my 15 minute Ab workout as planned and I can feel it! Plus my legs are still killing my from my lower body workout yesterday! I LOVE THE BURN! Oh...and I am ending the day with remaining calories for a second night in a row...yay me!

And...I must point out that I am posting from home...yes with my darned dial-up...took FOREVER for this site to load! And heaven knows that if it glitches out and I lose my post I will probably throw the computer! LOL...

Have a good night all!

Okay, definitely something up with my body. I had a bad day eating, but not 7.4 lb worth. But I figured I'd post it just to keep up with someone. Pain is excruciating. Hopefully that means that my loss next week should be significant once my body stops hating me?

chipper15173

(((HUGS))) lula

amy.. wheres your protein you didn't have but that one oz of lunch meat. you need more or you will be hungry and if you are doing all that exercise.
amylou....have a great presentation.

nothing special for me, just laundry and paperwork.

bahamomma87

cathy-- hehe ... there was egg and pork in the singapore noodles.... Some days are better than others for protein... Thanks though for checking out my menu ! Im not that big on lots of proteins lol ... and i dont usually find myself hungry ..... but if i notice it.. i will def. bump up the proteins.. thanks ! ... normally we have protein for lunch and dinner.... but yesterday was a less protein day haha ! xoxoxox

kistinbee

Morning all! Not too much time to chat...here's the meal plan:

B-Single oatmeal, 1/2 c. skim milk, 2 c. coffee, 4 tbsp. sugar-free creamer
S-trail mix bar
L-baby carrots, celery with natural PB, 1/2 c. fat-free cottage cheese
S-golden delicious apple
D-??? My mom is coming over this afternoon/evening and I have to figure out what to make. I'm hitting up the grocery store on my way home today. SO...hoping to come up with something during the day today so I can get what I need on my way home. Had chicken and rice last night. Maybe something with ground turkey. Not sure yet.
S-??? Depends on how many calories I eat for dinner and if I'm able to get my exercise in with my mom there. I'm hoping to convince her to go on a walk with me, but she has issues with her feet and so if they are bothering her then we probably won't. Hoping to at least get in my 15 minute upper body workout!

Well...off to start on some work! Have a great morning all! Let's make it a GREAT day!

its_B

PERSONALS!

Kristin - oooooo busy day! I hope you come up with something yummy to feed your mom!

Cathy- How are you today?!

Lula- *HUG* I am sure you are just retaining an absurd amount of water! I REALLY hope you feel better!!!!

Amy - YAY for your perfect day yesterday! That is awesome!!!! Your weigh in is def. going to show some SERIOUS results! I am excited for you!

AmyLou- HOW DID THINGS GO!??!?!

Okay, I think I got everyone since I last posted, but everyone who posted before I did and everyone who has yet to post your always on my mind!!!!!

So since the break up I have had issues remaining motivated. I need to find something to get my *kitten* REALLY moving. Not to mention though that I have been killer sore since Monday... I worked out yesterday but I dk how many calories I burned cuz I forgot my strap at home :sad: But here is the really sad part, I didnt even finish the work out!!! I got unmotivated half way through, and decided to spend 15 mins on the elliptical, but I was aiming for 30... Gah... A great deal of that had to do with how sore I was, It just was not pleasurable to work out. :frown: Even today I woke up feeling very achy. So I am not sure what to do... I have never been this sore after a workout that my trainer gave me until monday... I guess I just pushed TOO hard monday... But now my whole week is going sour cuz of it :sad:

Well my relationship book says that Day 5 after a break up one should do SERIOUS spring cleaning so that you can feel like you can move on from the pain or w/e.... I dk for sure, but I do know that waking up every day in a nice clean room would be a lot better then waking up to the way it is now... It is VERY chaotic and dirty right now. SO that is what I am going to be doing today.

Until later sixers!

Hello all,

Today has been good so far my dd did great at speech therapy this morning and we took a walk to the park to play before lunch so got about 2 miles in today so far.


B- keep putting one foot in front of the other and just get and do 1 thing each day, it will make you feel good to get something done each day.

I will check back in later for more personals.

Take Care,
Tracy

lulabellewoowoo

Thank you all so much for your sweet words the past couple of days. Haven't been able to respond. My brain is so out of it and the pain is like a 15 on a scale of 1 to 10. Which doesn't help with the whole motivation/good thoughts pattern. But I figure in a couple of days it will hopefully subside.

B - You are doing a great job getting through this. Any change is very scary. Every habit, albeit good or bad, leaves an empty feeling in us when we change it, i.e. eating healthier but letting go of the junk. But you are an extremely strong woman and you are doing a great job in your self-analysis. Take it from someone who went through a divorce, broken hearts do eventually heal and are sometimes stronger. For all the pain of the divorce, my ex and I have been able to remain friends (started because of the children, but has now continued years later). You are amazing - and the person that helps to accentuate that will find you. In the meantime, you just keep busy and pursuing the goals to improve on the person you are. Lots of hugs.

chipper15173

hungry tonight, but, it's 9:20, too late,

see you tomorrow. i am having a hard itme staying off the scale until tuesday.

Hello! I'm still here. It has been a crazy week for me. MIL came in a week ago Tuesday to help out with the children since Tony had his right shoulder operated on on the 14th. So after she left Friday afternoon, things were crazy around here with me trying to do everything he and I both do, plus help him. Then we had to make an extremely difficult decision to have our 13 year old Great Pyrenees "puppy" put down. Her appointment is tomorrow afternoon. She is such a part of the family. This is the hardest decision I have ever had to make. Samantha is so attached to Isabelle. I'm afraid she is going to take it the hardest.

On a more positive note, I took up running (really short distances) on Saturday. I took 2 days off, but after only running for 4 days, I've noticed it's starting to get easier already! The really odd thing is that the running is easier on my bad toe than walking fast.

I don't know how much I'll be on here over the weekend, but I wanted to let you all know that I'm still here!

amylou24

well..........I PASSED!!!!! Yay!!!

Now I know what you're thinking, I passed my Oral Comprehensive Final so I'm done right?? haha, oh no, I still have three more group papers, one test, and my final project/report to finish and present. But it is a HUGE weight off my shoulders.

Would write more but need to work on a paper, almost Friday! WOOT!!

Somehow I ended up at the bottom portion, but I did check in earlier. So I weighed in this morning and was at 174. Very happy with that. I have everything packed and am ready for my cruise.

Kristen and Amy - This is my first cruise and I am 50. I don't think it is selfish to go without the children even though when they are older I believe there are all kind of activities. I could never afford to go when my sons were young. I will let you know what it was like. I am going to try not to drink toooo much. LOL

B- I will try to post more often. I do try to read the posts but the end of the school year is near, just trying to get everything finished up. Plus getting ready for the trip.

Kathy- Sometimes I get hungry at nite and I do allow myself to eat a little something. I find if I do then I don't wake up starving. I guess it is different for everyone.

Amylou- congrats on passing the exam!!!!

Lorna- Sorry to hear you are feeling soooo bad. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I will try to check in tomorrow but next week I will be off. Take care everyone

Congrats AMYLOU!!! I'm proud of ya and I know you can't wait til you're done! I just realized earlier today that I only have ONE MORE YEAR of medical school!! WOOOHOOO!!!!! YAY!!! lol... still a lot to do... but I finally feel like i actually know a lot of stuff :-D.

Oh I'm up late tonight because I'm cleaning my apartment... and SIXERS I love my apartment! I have only lived here 1 month so I have/had lots of boxes... but for the first time, I'm actually :moving in: usually... I mostly live out of the box because I know I won't be here permanently but I feel like I deserve a well organized place... and now i'm staying up to get it! lol... not to mention I've been progressively getting better at keeping my place clean, despite being busy!

Not much working out today... just lots of walking... and well I'm kinda doing a bowel cleanse. I have IBS and sometimes it gives me a hard time. (not that you wanted to know!!! LOL) sorry! TMI I know... :-/ So not much energy for much else.

I should be feeling better soon! Have a great week ladies!
