Morning!

Yes Cathy...Summer is here! :drinker: And the boards will probably be slower, but hopefully that means we are off our butts and moving!:laugh:

Last night was great! Did a little shopping, got in a run, ate a good dinner...YAY! Now...let's see how today goes. Have lunch with a co-worker today...we shall see how that goes! Still planning on running tonight...as long as we don't go to farmers market...kinda hoping we do! And then tomorrow Kadence has her NINE month check-up!!! CRAZY!!! Can't wait to see how big my little munchkin is! Well...gonna be a busy day today and probably tomorrow, so don't know how much I'll get on here! Have a great one gals, and if I don't talk to you before...have a great weekend!

Tracy, I love skipping breakfast if I am not hungry (rare!!!!) only to add those extra calories to lunch! haha *oink oink* I'm such a pig!! lol

Cathy, I missed it during my hiatus. Son moved in with you, now is moving back out?

Kris, you are so upbeat. I love soaking up some of the joy that you exude!!!


AFM:
Doc adjusted my meds. I feel happier already. I love my doc.
Today's weigh in: 160.6.
Dropped 2 lbs since yesterday.
This is good. Weight loss is more motivating to me than weight gain. Weight loss encourages me to keep doing it right.
No binging last night. Yay!
I am feeling hopeful, empowered, and strong today. I love feeling this way.

My birthday is Saturday, June 19th.
No lie, I hope to be at 155 lbs by then.
5 lbs is a lot to lose, except .... well, it's not.
It's weight I put on in a matter of weeks, so I think it's weight I can take off in a matter of weeks.
Being broke helps. Eating meals out KILLS my calorie intake. Eating meals in is more in line with calorie counting.

I'd like to be at 150 by July 4th. I don't see that one happening. Too aggressive, goal is too big, date is too far away.... But it's out there.

I'm on day three of sticking to the first part of my June Goals. I am very proud of myself. Three days of GOOD and STRONG.

chipper15173

YEA lauryn day 3 of goals.....son in a nut shell. lost job in feb. didn't get unemployment for almost 14 weeks. it got it 2 weeks and got a job. all just in time for his power to be shut off, his landlord told him they wanted 2 months rent to stay there any longer. everyone was great with him while he had no income (he got food stamps). now that he has a job they can't wait any longer. which he is so far behind he would take him forever to catch up. he doesn't even get his first paycheck for another 2 weeks and he's been with them for 3. so we are moving him out into here. his stuff is going into storage. he's hoping to get with AT&T. he will be in training for 9 weeks in Charlotte or altanta. they are suppose to call the 10 lucky people this month. he waits.

well, doctor wants me to start allergy shots. at $12 a week for 22 weeks, than every other week for 6 months. than once a month for 4 years. it' cheaper to keep on the meds. will think about it. asthma and allergies so controlled, don't have to go back for a year.

Hey Ladies,

How the heck are you? I feel like I have been so out of touch with you. I want to say congrats to everyone for still hanging in there...


Lauryn Its so good to have you back on the board with us. I have missed you. Yes I am spending many hours in the sun these days. I am just so glad to see it. This past winter seemed like it was never going to go away. In fact they are callling for rain tonight. Hey Happy Bithday this weekend!!!!!:flowerforyou:

Cathy Wedding plans are coming along slow but then again we have a little over a year to go. My daughter was planning an engagement party for us later this month, but we talked her in to waiting. We thought it would be better to have it in September. Since we will be getting married next September. So I figure from September to September things will become a little insane for me. Thanks for always asking. I have just been busy lately with work and trying to keep up with all the work around here as well. I hope the allergy shots help. I don't think I could handle getting shots every week. But then again I am a big baby.:noway:

Dang it!!! A friend of mine is at the door.....

Hey I will have to get back to the rest of my personals later....So to everyone else I will check in later. :flowerforyou:

Kel

I'm here guys! Just super busy. usually sleep 9-4 then school/work (on surgery rotation) 4:50AM - 7 PM. Such is life. It is really exciting despite all the negative or snippy attitudes. My cheerful attitude gets me through. Didn't read other posts. sorry. Just wanted to update you all really quickly. Working hard to lose this weight even in time of stress. will have to be patient though. MAy be slow progress. But progress is progress.

Have a wonderful week! Add me as a friend so I can see your statuses quickly when I log on! LOL... please :flowerforyou:

lulabellewoowoo

Okay ladies, time to play catchup.

Cathy - Sorry about all the stress concerning your son. Sounds like it's a huge part of your world now. Don't forget to also take care of you in helping to take care of him. It is so hard to see our kids struggle and not automatically want to fix it. You are an awesome mom. I hope the allergy shots work for you too. My husband has bad asthma at different times through the years and it really scares me. The unpredictable weather definitely doesn't help.

Kristin - Wow, Kadence is nine months old already. Time flies doesn't it. I hope her appointment goes well today. Just out of curiosity, how far do you run or for how long? And with a baby to boot. You're awesome.

Tracy ( frogy_98) - Great job on the water drinking. Isn't it crazy how busy we get as mothers that sometimes we miss a meal not even realizing it. Hope your time at the park was fun.

Amy S (bahamom87).How are you feeling? Any better? Have you made an appointment yet with the doctor? You haven't been on the past couple of days, so I hope you are doing okay and we hear some good news soon

Lauryn (Phoenix_Rising) - it's wonderful to have you back!!! We need you! I love your list of goals. That's an awesome idea. Great job on your weight loss. Just don't be too hard on yourself with too high expectations. That way you won't be too discouraged and will likely stick to it. But it seems like things are going in the right direction for you. Hopefully the sunny weather helps too

Kel(redneckwoman) - Hope your week is going well. Congrats on your weight loss. You can make your goal this challenge.

B (its_B) - Miss your posts girl. Hope you have fun at your brother's graduation. Can't wait to hear more details on the new guy

Amy (amypyr) - That's awesome on the running. Doubling your distance is amazing. I found when I started running that I ended up eating more for awhile because I always felt hungry. But running is a great, quick calorie burn. Keep it up.

AFM:
Two sick kids home on Wednesday. Then yesterday morning I woke up puking. Still not 100%, but definitely getting to my zumba class this morning, maybe even going to bike there if the rain holds. Working on getting my yard in order this weekend I hope. Really want to be able to have friends over, but it needs some SERIOUS help. But great exercise working in the yard.

Hope you all have a FABULOUS FRIDAY!

chipper15173

good mornin"...

the scale displayed a nice number this morning. hope it holds for tuesday. cleaning out the spare room and starting the living room today at sons. it's warm again today. i don't think i will start the shots, it's so costly. i can get my meds for free. i can always change my mind.

everyone looks like the summer is in full bloom.

baha.....i agree with lula make your doctors appt.
lula....hows the pain been? hope you get to feeling better. i haven't had the cold, flu, or been sick since i quit smoking 3 yrs ago. somedays i just wish i could be sick, to stay in bed and lay on the couch all day. although DH tells me i can do that anytime i want. i feel guilty.
kristen....9 months....they grow so fast.
kel...yea, i agree with you on the party to hold off just a bit.
b....have a good weekend.
tiff....cool, surgery. that sounds like fun to me.
lauryn..it will be over soon.
frogy...when are you moving?
amypry....great job on the running.
izzypup...where's your weigh in? just kidding, hope you are doing well
pdxmom...when you coming back? hope the treatment works for the iron. it's been a long struggle for you.

if i missed anyone i am so sorry. have a great weekend.

i am off to play for a bit, while son wakes up and than off to clean.

the scale displayed a nice number this morning. hope it holds for tuesday.

Use it as your incentive to eat good and shake your exercise booty this weekend. You've been doing so great and a true inspiration to me.

kistinbee

Good morning! No time to chat. Had a fun night last night...went to farmers market...ate WAY too much...no exercise other than walking around there. Today I feel like poop! Sore throat...headache...you'd think I drank and smoked all night...oh well! Short day at work, then to our appointment!

Lorna...I run abour 2 miles and it takes me about 25 minutes...I do walk a short stretch (less than a 1/4 mile). It's definitely harder pushing the jogger stroller, but gives me a good workout. And I'm shaving off time...used to take me about 30 minutes...so YAY! Looking into finding myself a longer route.

ANYways...need to get started on some things! Have a good one all and I'll check back when I can!

Phoenix_Rising

Morning Sixers!!

Cathy, I hope the allergy shots help. I know my allergies are awful. I hope my good numbers on the scale will continue too!

Kel, I'm envious that you are able to work outdoors in the sunlight. I know it's a blessing and a curse, but being stuck indoors makes me long for a little sunlight.

Tiff, what are you going to school for? I know to be a doctor but what area? I don't know how you manage that schedule. You make me proud!!!

Lorna, thanks I am working today on making sure I get my water in. I'm doing good on logging daily and checking in daily. Gotta work on that 3rd daily goal, then progress to the larger goals. I hope all the sickness passes your house quickly! It's awful when little ones are ill and then give that sickness to us!!!

AFM:
158.6 lbs today. A 2 lb loss since yesterday. I'm very happy with that, although it may be a fluke and rise a little tomorrow. I'm gonna keep working on it.

Focusing on trying to drink my fluids today. For some reason, I'm just not thirsty and don't drink enough anymore. Very odd for me.

Went on a 4 mile walk last night at the local walking trail around a lake. It was great and hard and hot and I was drenched it sweat. It felt wonderful.

I'm going out tonight with a high school girlfriend to a wine tasting and then dinner. I'm excited. I love girl time with my long time best friends. It's so relaxing.

Not sure what Kiddo and I will get into this weekend but I have a feeling it will involve arts and crafts. I'm feeling mighty creative lately. I love feeling creative.

frogy_98

Hey ladies,

wow so many post today, it is great to see how everyone is doing.

As for me we have had a busy morning walked to the grocery store to pick up some much needed items. Also found some great salad packages on sale so I stocked up for the next two days figure I will stop in on Sunday and monday and stock up for next week. Plus dd had speech therapy this morning. She is making progress slowly but surly. It takes time, but sometimes I wish the words would just spill out, I know I will want her to be quiet once she does learn how to talk.

As for me working on packing as usuall hope to get a few boxes done today but, just trying to organize and pay some bill while little one is down for a nap. We are going to be staying in Fargo, just moving to a different apartment, but it is nicer and has all new paint and carpets yippee. PLUS major bonus it has a washer and dryer in the apartment. No more hauling it to a laundry room and paying for every load!!!!

Well better run have to get some cleaning done before little one gets up.

Keep up the great work ladies and have a great weekend.

chipper15173

afternoon ladies....

got the spare room of sons cleaned and have a huge haul to the dump. yea, bout time he get rid of this junk. went and did a little grocery shopping and will go to another store after dinner.

nothing really planned for the weekend. sunday church and a new members meeting at noon with lunch served. play it by ear. tomorrow maybe the lawns early in the morning.

see ya tomorrow.

lulabellewoowoo

Kristin - there's a website I use called www.mapmyrun.com that allows you to figure out how many miles you have/will run. I use it for my neighborhood as I want to start adding distance to my time.

Cathy - I love your silver lining of your son moving back in with a nice, thorough clean out. I hope you have a restful weekend.

Lauryn - Keep doing great. The little goals always end up adding up. You can do this! Great job on the weight loss. Don't stress out if water fluctuates on you. You are doing wonderful.

Tracy - I hope your move is successful. It's so great when you have "new" things. Especially in an apartment, because someone else has to pay to maintain them. And there are calories burned packing you know

AFM:
Well, I decided that I was going to bike to my zumba class yesterday. Have a pretty decent hill to get up and that was my challenge. Gave myself 15 minutes. I ended up being 20 minutes LATE for the class because halfway to the gym my tired POPPED! I then had to walk my bike back home, and then get into my husband's no A/C pickup (had to borrow lawnmower after class). By the time I walked into my air conditioned class, I was soaked in sweat. I thought it was pretty funny. Definitely got a good workout, just not the one I wanted.

Pain wise, I'm doing GREAT. I mean last Tuesday my husband asked how my pain was and I realized I had gone ALL weekend without it. Maybe there is something to this clean eating (although I have gotten off track every now and again). Today, feeling bloated and gross and grouchy, but that sounds like normal PMS symptoms, so maybe I am back to being "normal". It's really sad when a woman can be happy to be PMSy. Crossing my fingers, knocking on wood, praying, whatever it takes that when my TOM finally comes, it is uneventful. But thanks to everyone for asking.

Yard work today. Need to get that backyard into shape. I'm in the mood to do it too. Get all my anxiety and grouchiness out on those weeds and trees and fallen fence.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

chipper15173

YEA lula no pain....(hush, don't want your body to hear). love working in the yard. just finished mowing mine and did some weeding. DH helped today, so didn't burn nearly as many calories. his did most it.

nothing else to do today. i may just vegetate...suppose to be super hot today with a very high heat index.

will check in later.....

Redneckwoman

Well Girls How is every one? Me feeling great and happy with my self since I have worked out everyday for 8 days. However today I am going to skip it. Last night I over ate as it was my brothers birthday. I made a vanilla pudding pie for him as well as dinner. Big BBQ burgers and grilled sweet potatoe fries. And today Tony and I will be going to the state BBQ cookoff. Planning on over indulging can't wait to head out the door. I just love me some BBQ :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: YUM!!! So I swear I will not whine on Tuesday when I weigh in :noway: LOL

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi ladies!!!!!

I won't be able to weigh in tomorrow. I leave in a little while for Boston for a work trip. I'll be back late Wednesday. I'll use today's weigh in number for tomorrow's count.... 159.0 !! While it's not the 157.8 I had last Friday, I'll gladly accept a 159 being that I started at 162.8. On the right track!!!!

Now I have to try to eat right while on a business trip. Oy vei!!!! OR just stick to it and go to the hotel gym nightly, as planned. Gym clothes are packed!!!

Have a great day Sixers!!!

Oh, and I have a new MFP friend stopping by.... Kamila02... Please make her feel at home here, cause this group is super fabulous, and I know you'd do that even if I didn't mention it!

frogy_98

Cathy - hope you enjoy your non busy day!

AFM: Today started out with a nice breakfast out with my husband and dd along with some friends, which was nice since it is a monday. DH has a golf tournament today, so he is excited for that. dd is teething so she is up and down and cant decide if she is happy or sad, but hey she is still a great teether overall she sleeps through the night so no complaints here.

I have a busy day of housework ahead of me, since it is a disaster zone after the weekend, never seems to fail! But it gives me time to get rid of stuff that we are not taking to the new apartment. I am in a major give away mode, we have so much stuff we dont need or use, so this move has been a great reason to get rid of lots of stuff.

I will get in my work out here at home today, going to do walk away the pounds the 2 mile walk and probably do some dancing with the Wii, that way dd can have some fun with it as well.

But have to run for now little one is asleep and have to check on laundry. Hope you all have a great day.

Tracy
