Deployment Overeater Support Team

Okay so I have a serious love for sugar free jello and cool whip lite!! 1/2 c +2 tbsp =30 cal (whip that all together) and a sweet that I dont feel guilty about and also love to share with my daughter! Oh yeah and eat it with a little ones spoon and it seems to go on for days

Going on day 9 with out hearing from my hubby so I am finding joy in the little things! Did c25k this morning and then (2.5 miles) and then walked 2.5 this afternoon. It has been a beautiful day!!!

did TBL last night lower body. it was 3 sets.. My butt is sore today but it was a great workout. Sooo glad it is Friday.. Just need some time off from work for sure. I dont weigh in until monday mornings but i peeked at the scale this morning i was up like a half a pound but that is ok.. I shouldnt be looking anyways.. I plan on doing the tredmill tonight it is just too cold here to walk outside although this morning it seemed much warmer than usual so I will play it by ear. Switch it up with jogging/walking.. Now that you guys are talking about c25k I might try it again.. I did pretty well with it before but I gave up.

Everyone have a good day. Another week down... and so thankful for all I have.

HELLO Ladies!!!!!!!!! Got a little motovation for you!! Get online and look up some of the cadances that your respective branch service member would have and may still do during their training!! It will make you feel really good and ready to run!!! This is how I learned to pace my breath while running!!

As a Devil Dog wife= "Gimme some of that devil dog, that rough that tough that devil dog!!!"

Great site to get them (no downloading just streaming) www.playlist.com
*note to marine family stay away from mamma mamma cant you see

---

can be a bit unsetteling while they are away!

I have a few USMC ring tones but my husband wont let me use them! LOL. He says that is too moto! HAHAH Probably in the same lines of it being tacky for military wives to wear camo (kinda tacky all together now unless your and rapper dont get me started) Plus it is a bad thing to have the Marine Corps Hymn as your ring tone and your phone ring in a common gathering place for Devil Dogs, they have to stand at attention. Its funny but also embarassing!!!! Hope you ladies are having a great weekend!!

I finally heard from Tim again!! yay!! He is switching bases again which is rediculous.. this is his 4th base change since he has been there...I just want him to come home already!!! As of today he has been gone for 245 days Oh well we suck it up and we drive on!!!

Had a miserable day today though! Facebook friends you probably already read my status but OMG!! I had an avon meeting this morning and Talya came with me because we really dont have anyone to watch her. About an hour into the meeting she got alittle restless and I got her out of her stroller and bounced her on my knee and she was talking to me (almost 11months old) A woman looks over at Talya and says "That enough" I got up and walked out of the room! I was so furious I wanted to hit the old bag and that turned into I wanted to cry. After I left there I went to Ross' because I convinced myself that I needed a new outfit or at least deserved one! Talya finally fell asleep in her stroller and was out for the count! I went into the dressing room to try on a few outfits and we didnt fit in the regular stalls with the stroller so I patiently waited for the only large room to open up! I figured that there was another mother or a handicap individual in there. 25 minutes later a lady appears all by her lonesome and able bodied!!!URGH!!!! Finally I tried on the clothes picked what I liked and got a few shirts for my husband too and headed toward check out. The line was pretty long and I took my place at the end of one. A few minutes into my wait a woman and her son cut in front of me. I thought maybe she was just condensing to get out of the way of the other customers but as the line drew shorter she was edging me out. I finally politely said " Mam I was in line after her" refering to the lady in front of me. The lady flipped and cut in front of everyone else who was waiting, when the casheir told her she cound not ring her up and she would just have to wait the woman freaked even more and claimed to have a family emergency and had to go to the emergency room and then called me a Stupid Hussy...OMG!! (I was dressed very professionally as well) I really think if I had a family emergency any deal on a pair of jeans at Ross Dress for Less could wait!

I could rant on more and more about the situation and how trashy the woman who called me a SH was but I am going to leave it at that! However it is people like that who make you stand a little taller because no matter how low you get your not them!!! LOL! I am ready for bed! If alcohol werent so many calories I would be tempted to drink a glass of whine or something (drinking alone is kind of depressing though too....that is like 2 steps away from having a problem)

On a good note I prepaired ahead of time and stashed some fiber one and special k bars in my diaper bag so when I was tempted to hit up the drive thought to eat away my frustartions I pulled out my snack and was satisfied! I got home and ate a bit of lunch and was able to get all my frustartions out on my c25k. And a very nice woman stopped me on the side of the road during my walk/run and asked me if I needed a high chair (have been using a booster seat) 5 minutes later she showed up with one in the back of her truck and dropped it off at my house! (my faith in humanity has been restored) The chair needs a bit of work new restraints and it doesnt have a cushion but I am one crafty lady and will make this highchair kick some majorly awesome butt!!!

Welcome AnewMe0212,

Oh Hilarij.....I am so sorry to hear that. Just remember we aren't given more than we can handle, even though it feels like it. You have to stay tough and remember sometimes the stress of being over there makes us the punching bag. I dont know the extent of your fight with your son, however remember food is not an escape. I find that when Chris and I have a fight, I work it out. Then we talk through it. I hope it works out for you. I know it will. Saying a special prayer for you and your family.

Ok ladies. I was just informed that I will be attending a military ball when Chris returns. So its not enough that I am now dealing with 2 weddings and a move but now a ball.:noway: UGGGGG. I just bought the dress online. A steal for $30. Its gorgeous. I just hope I will be able to get into it. More Motivation for me I just hope I dont embarass Chris. I have no idea on protocal (?) and all that stuff. I was hoping to get into the military life before I thrown into a formal situation. Any advice????

I had a wonderful day with my parents and kids. But now I dont feel like exercising. I stayed below my calorie intake so I guess its ok to take the day off. Back to the grind tomorrow.

Just remember "Keep your eyes on the prize. We didnt get this way overnight nor will we take it off overnight "

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Just think another week down and one more closer to our loves.

Holly your dress is georgous and yes it will be fine!!! You are going to look great! Put a pic of that dress on your fridge if that doesnt keep you our I dont know what will hahah!!

Hilarij: I am so sorry that your dealing with the stress and drama It will all workout! Stay positive, turning to food will only make you feel worse! When you get worked up go for a run it blows off alot of steam!

Hope you ladies had a great weekend and welcome AnewMe!!! This is a fantastic group and the ladies here are great!!! (but I am alittle biased)

Good Morning Ladies,

Thank you Lisa, I cant wait to get it. I know how you are feeling. I have many days that all I want to do is stay at home and cry. And to tell you the truth there are days that I do that. Then the next day I wake up and feel so misreble because I did it. The light at the end of your tunnel is so close. You can do it. Its alright to have days like that or weekends. Just get up brush yourself off and get back on the bandwagon. Think about all the happy times you have had and the many more you will have when he comes home in a couple of months. One thing that keeps me going is thinking about the look on his face when he sees how hot I am when he gets off that plane. Just hang in there, he will be home before you know it.

Its MONDAY ladies. Time to get off our rears and get to it. Its a brand new week and a brand new us :drinker:

Thats great Lisa, I am so glad you started back with the C25K program. As for the food log. I log everything. I also log my exercise. I use my treadmill so, I log the minutes under Walk, brisk pace 3.5. As for the Wii Fit. I log them in by using their calories. I log it in but i never go over my original calories for the day. I never eat all my calories. I also eat 3 meals and 2 snacks just like you and have several hundered left. Right now its working for me. However if I do hit a plateau I know I must up my calories in order to jumpstart my weightloss. I am going to continue the way I am for now.

Well time for The Bachelor My escape from reality!!!!!

I'll check in later.

Good morning, ladies! Hope you are all having a great week so far. This week is going MUCH better for me. I only lost one pound last week. I know it is better than gaining, especially after the week I had. So hopefully this week stays on track. I am very excited that I was able to make it through the entire Slim In 6 Ramp It up (phase 2) without stopping, at the end when you get down on all 4s and do leg lifts that I have issues with. So yay, I am making progress!!

Again, hope you all are having a great week!

awesome holly and overit!!! Overit let me know what you think of the slim in 6 I was thinking about trying it! I started week 2 of c25k (for the 2nd time) and I breezed right through it. My neighbor is doing great too! I wish she had as much faith in her self as i do in her though! In exercise we find something inside us that is burried deep but it is so powerful!!! Keep up the good work ladies!!! How are the Hubbies/boy toys/ sons doing?

timmi, so far i like Slim in 6. I wish there were more people on the board that were doing it just to hear their feedback but it seems like it has been a few months since there were any of them. I think it is a good beginner point. I only did the first phase a few times and am in the second phase. I have done it 6 times in a row and can notice a difference, especially in my stamina. I can do bicycles without stopping :happy: I am kind of getting anxious to move up to the 3rd level, but i think I will wait until I finish this week. I do see that I could easily get bored with it though but that is an issue I have with exercising all together.

As far as how are the husbands doing ... I got a call this morning and mine is starting the process of coming home for R&R, so I am very excited! Who knows when he will actually get here, but all i know is it is soon!

holly, that is so exciting about the flowers and hearing about them beginning to prepare to come home! Flowers ALWAYS brighten my day.

Lisa, I am also really bad at weighing. I weigh every day but it is a habit I can't break, seems to help with the motivation, at least for me it does.

It is hard when our guys are down and unhappy and we can't do anything for them. DH was going through a really rough patch and I just felt awful that I couldn't help him in any way other than listen and encourage him.
