No More Excuses - Week 11

Welcome, Galina!

Ann - I hope your employee feels better soon.

Tammy -- well? What did you have for lunch and how did you like it?

We ran out of time and didn't get to go to Applebee's after all. DH spent too much time in the gym. I was finished in an hour but he wasn't so we ended up at Fatz, which is closer to our house, in our yucky exercise clothes! We had to be back home by 2:30 for our youngest to get off the bus. I got a grilled chicken Philly and baked potato. I cut everything in half as soon as it came to the table and got a to go box. It was really good and I ended up with about 550 cals that way too. I hope to get to Applebee's on our next date lunch. We try to go once or twice a month just the two of us while the kids are in school.

Hello everyone. I am back on it as of today, I am going to make the most of Febuary and try to stay on it and focused all month long without going over on my calories. Sorry for the absence, I have been so busy. My hubby and I went car looking on Monday and we got a new Jeep, well it is a 2006, but the person that had it before us took really good care of it and it looks brand new. Tuesday, we had a bunch of errands to do, Wednesday, we had a parent/teacher conference with my daughter Anna's teacher, Thursday, we had to take my daughter to a Pediatric Urologist b/c she has been having blood and protein in her urine, but they said they didn't think anything was wrong with her kidneys and we have to collect her urine when she first thing in the monring after she gets up and take it to the doctors office for three days in a row. Yesterday all we did was ride the roads and we had to have our taxes filled out. So, today I am doing absoultly nothing. I will watch my food but no exercise due to my TOM, I am in so much pain due to the Endometriosis. Anyways sorry to go into all of that, but as you see we have been so busy but I need to focus and no more excuses to eat junk. I hope you all have a great day!!!!!!!!!

Good evening team. Well what a day of house work. Feels good to get things back as they should be though.

Tonight I get a house full of teenage boys. Today is Trevor's 14th Birthday. Doesnot seem possible.. No excercise tonight because they have already claimed the TV....Wii...PS2...X box and whatever else is down there!!!

I am not looking forward to weigh in tomorrow. Haven't even drank my water today. Guess I better go get some.

Have a great evening.
Ann

oh....Laura it is nice to see you back with us....

I had Biscuits n Sausage Gravy this morning (803 calories), so I decided to put in a 6th workout this week. I ended up running 2.5 miles at the gym. (ended up with 3168 calories burned this week)

Now I have 600 calories left for dinner. Way over on Sodium/Sat Fat for the day, but that is nothing out of the ordinary for me and weekends. Still up a pound from last Tuesday, but down 2 for the week.

The sun came out today, I had that big breakfast, and its the weekend, so things are much better today.

Sounds like you did better than me. I was under calories and fat and then I sat down to watch TV. Big mistake. Most nights I have to type and don't get to watch TV, which turns out to be a good thing. I just can't seem to watch TV without eating--first the rest of the key lime cake, then cheese nips. I'm going to bed before I find something else to eat.

Well......sounds like all of our scales are not being nice to us. Mine wasn't. I am back to 164. DAD GOME IT!!! However with TOM I expected it as I didn't make it to curves on Friday cause I was in so much pain, and then yesterday had a fundraiser dinner so you know those are never "low cal". Haven't done any excercise this week-end. Thank goodness we can start a new at anytime. My time is today.

I plan on getting on the wii this afternoon because I HAVE TOO. I feel so much better after I work out.

My brother is doing well. Thanks to all of you for your prayers and well wishes.

Well I think I am off to start my day....Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!

I am feeling pretty good and i hope all of you had success this month. Lets do it all over again in February

Good Morning!! I haven't weighed in yet, been working on my new lappy trying to configure everything.

Will send my weight to whomever wants 'em.

Amanda - it's good to see you back

Good afternoon all!

Amanda good to see you back and glad things are beginning to get better. You are so right..... A new week....Thank Heavens!!!!

Tammy sorry about your truck. That is never any fun. My dh and ds (the 19 yr old) have been working on one of the motorcycles all day. Glad they have a heater in the garage as it is pretty nippy here.

Just finished with my work out on the wii. Did 20 min of run and some kung fu. My HRM says I burned about 300 calories. I think that is more accurate than what the game tells me I burn.

Well is anyone watching the PRO bowl. I think I am the only football fanatic on here!!! LOL Doesn't look too promising with the date change. Glad it is going back to Hawaii next year!!

Have a wonderful evening.

Hello team...I need some advice. I went to Beachbody.com and found Slim in 6 and Turbo Jam for the same price. Anybody tried both and have a preference? Thanks.

I haven't tried them myself, but I have a friend who loves the turbo jams.

Morning team!!! AHHHHHHHH Monday morning! Which means a new chance to begin again!!! THANK GOODNESS!!!!! I need a new start. Last week was not kind but this week is going to be better!!!

Work should be busy and seems like after work I continue to have projects and activities! A little warmer here today. In the 50's I think. I am ready for spring!!! I enjoy all the seasons of Colorado but by this time I am getting cabin fever bad...... DS & DH are getting the motorcycles ready to ride so I hope it warms up soon so we can be on them!

Well...everyone have a fantastic Monday!
