I need to get better at taking notes while I'm reading this thread so that I can do personals! So many birthdays this week! I hope that all of you have (or had) a great one!!! And to all those preparing for races short and long (I'm so impressed), best of luck! I'm thinking about trying to get in shape for a triathalon next summer (the "short" variety - half-mile swim, 12-mile bike, 5k run), but I have not fully committed to it yet (and at still over 300 pounds, it's more than a little bit daunting).
Thursday truth - I'm tired of working overnights and of the program I am working for (won't go into details, but there are many legitimate frustrations). I think I'm giving notice tonight. We have to give 20-working days' notice to get paid out vacation time, so that's five weeks (my week consists of 4 10-hour nights), and then I will get a couple weeks' pay-out, and I think I can find a job in the interim. I would stay and suffer through -- I've worked long enough to know that no job is perfect -- but I think it's time to move on, because working overnights seems to be effecting my (mental and physical) health and I'm pretty burnt out (which isn't good for me or the clients). Plus, my ultimate goal is to finish graduate school and I need a job that will enable that. I also never want to be the one who stays in a job she dislikes when it's clear to everyone that she should have gone, so don't want to get to that point. Still, I would feel better about this if I had already found a next step.
@ Gloworm- thanks for the advice about the moleskin. I've tried nu-skin, which I suspect is similar. It is helping some but stings horribly, because the heels are still quite raw, sigh.
@ Skinnyjeanzbound - I would love to post some pics from my hike (Mt. Jefferson Wilderness Area is so gorgeous!) but I only see the option to change my ruler pic (presently my kayak, but for the change of seasons, a mountain scene will be motivating, I think), or my profile pick. I'll try to figure it out tomorrow (after I apply for a couple jobs).0 -
Skinny- I'm taking English Composition 101.... It is super interesting for me (I love to read and writing is my passion) but sooo challenging.
oddly, i also love to read and writing is actually my job, i'm an author. but i always hated english comp and never did particularly well. i think my average english comp score was low B's or maybe high C's. which is really lame for me.During the summer I took my kids in for their yearly check up, middle daughter (7) had not grown a single inch sinc elast year and had fallen off the growth chart. She was a preemie and has always been little but her old pediatrician said to wait until puberty and then look into growth hormone shots. That Dr has retired and our new one just finished her residency at the local children's hospital. She suggested a few tests and after multiple trips to the hospital, blood works, specialists and some minor surgery she was diagnosed with a gluten allergy/intolerance. Basically anytime she eats anything with wheat, rye or barley in it - it damages the villi and she can't absorb any of the nutrition from the food she eats. After the initial shock and guilt over my child being so malnourished for so many years, we met with nutritionists and I began devouring every book I could find about it.
wow, what an experience. how big is she? my older daughter is also very small. i asked my last pediatrician if we should talk about growth hormones and he said he wasn't worried about it since she'd always been small. but she just doesn't seem to grow. she's almost nine and she literally just grew out of toddler sized shoes. we changed doctors and i thought about taking her back in but i'm not sure. the last doctor told me not to worry even though they can't even chart her expected height because she's consistently under the third percentile. i'm wondering now if this is something that i need to have checked out too. your novella was definitely interesting reading to me and i'm glad your girlie is doing better.Truth is, I'm addicted to Diet Coke, I'm trying to stop and I'm getting really bad headaches.
i'm having the same experience with Dr. Diet Pepper and I'm trying to cut down slower, to beat the headaches. maybe try dropping down one or two a week. like i used to drink six a day. so i dropped down to four. now i'm trying out three this week. after that, in a week or two, i will drop to two and on from there. even if i could get myself down to one a day i would be thrilled.0 -
Friday fitness: Going to think of the Samuel Coleridge Taylor quote from the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner as I drink water all day today to prep for the race tomorrow(water water everywhere but not a drop to drink). Just kidding. In a weird mood today. I'm sitting here at work after running 3 miles last night and working the pain out of my foot. It initially hurt when I started running but about a half mile in all of the pain went away and the last 2.5 miles were pain free. I think the muscle just needed to be stretched in a way that only running could do. Can't wait til tomorrow morning!

Thursday truth- I haven't gotten caught up on the palst couple pages but will do so soon, I figured I had better get this writte out before it gets too late and I am too tired. Not that I am playing confessional but my truth for today is why I had been absent for so long. During the summer I took my kids in for their yearly check up, middle daughter (7) had not grown a single inch sinc elast year and had fallen off the growth chart. She was a preemie and has always been little but her old pediatrician said to wait until puberty and then look into growth hormone shots. That Dr has retired and our new one just finished her residency at the local children's hospital. She suggested a few tests and after multiple trips to the hospital, blood works, specialists and some minor surgery she was diagnosed with a gluten allergy/intolerance. Basically anytime she eats anything with wheat, rye or barley in it - it damages the villi and she can't absorb any of the nutrition from the food she eats. After the initial shock and guilt over my child being so malnourished for so many years, we met with nutritionists and I began devouring every book I could find about it. The guilt was my biggest issue- wondering if I did something wrong during the pregnancy or when she was an infant that I should ahve done differently. I know that reasonably it isn't my fault but the "mama bear" gene kind of kicks in and reason seems to leave. That week I discovered a flavor of Ben and Jerry's ice cream called Chocolate Therapy, had 4 pints in 1 week and still didn't feel very therapeutic. Claire's nutrition became so all encompassing that I had no energy left to do uch more that log in my breakfasts. Thanksfully going gluten free is much easier than it was years ago and there are some very helpful phone apps I am using all the time at the grocery store. Our biggest challenge yet is to find a bread she likes and doesn't have anasty after taste so she can eat sandwiches again. Our whole family has gone gluten free as well and this is becoming our new normal. At least normal enough that I am ready to get back on track and get rid of this extra weight. At her last check up she has grown an entire 1/2 inch so I know these changes are working and benefitting her so its worth it.
The only thing I did keep up was my running, it kept me sane and I even signed up for another race so I would have something to focus on. 2 Saturdays ago I ran the Air Force 1/2 marathon and had my best time ever. 3 hours and 8 minutes. BEst part is that for the first time in my life I actually felt like a real runner
Sorry my truth has transformed into a bit of a novella
Don't feel guilty---it won't help a bit. I have celiac and was diagnosed in my 50's after I had my gall bladder removed. ANYWAY, if you haven't already done so and have access to it, try Udi's gluten free bread. The slices are relatively small but to my taste buds, it's as much like *real* bread as I have found. They have both white and dark. Also I remember right after being diagnosed, I wasn't able to tolerate lactose well BUT as my gut healed, I was able to reintroduce lactose to my diet. Try to be patient. Good luck and if I can help, let me know.

@Doug: Good Luck tomorrow!!! I'm sure you will kill it!:flowerforyou: :drinker: :flowerforyou: :drinker:

Good morning everyone!
Fitness Friday...What activity am I doing to help me shed pounds. Well I'm trying to work out 6x a week doing a range of different activities. 1. I have a personal training session on Monday nights for an hour followed by a 45 minute spin class. It is complete torture, but it is such a good feeling when you get the whole thing done. 2. I walk with my dog for 30 minutes everyday I do not have a class scheduled and am going to slowly work up to 60 minutes. 3. I take an hour exercise class on Thursdays. The class is a mix of cardio and strength training. That's it for me right now.
What is everyone else doing for exercise?
Tomorrow is my first weigh in since starting on Sunday. Keep your fingers crossed for me and I'm looking for new friends to so feel free to add me. I have alot of weight to lose and could use all the support I can get.
Have a great day everyone! 0 -
Friday Fitness~My doc put me on two days gym restriction, wanted me to nap/rest - which I did. I'm allowed back to the gym today for a light workout, so plan on treadmill/weights. I'll do a light workout tomorrow, too, and then have session with my trainer on Sunday. Except for today, I shouldn't have any dining out/food concerns - today is our annual employee appreciation day and lunch is catered. I've planned for it, so will just enjoy.Thursday Truth:
I've been really bad about getting enough sleep the past couple of weeks. I find that if I don't make sleep one of my "goals," I just stay up way too late.
@Karen~I'm going through the same thing. Honestly, I'm a really light sleeper to begin with and going to bed later than I should doesn't help. My doctor said to me a couple of days ago that I need to allow myself time for naps, she's worried about my level of exhaustion. Its not good for our health, for weight loss or otherwise. I think its a good "goal" for both of us - set a "bed time" and stick to it! Good luck on your race tomorrow, you'll do great - have fun!Thanks for all for the nice welcomes! You all seem so nice. So it's Truth Thursday..... lets see, I'm scared to tell anyone that I'm am trying to lose weight. I have failed so many times, and then I find my co-works look at what I'm eating for lunch and feel they have the right to tell me what they think I should eat.
Truth is, I'm addicted to Diet Coke, I'm trying to stop and I'm getting really bad headaches.
Happy birthday to all that had a birthday today, and you guys rock with all exercises! Have a good day everyone, I will check back in tomorrow night.
To tell you the truth, we are nice.:laugh: Don't worry about telling anyone about your weight loss efforts, really its a personal thing. When I first started I didn't tell anyone, kept it to myself - only did I start talking about it when people started to notice the weight loss. So, keep it to yourself until you're ready. Now, for the diet coke addiction you need to slowly decrease your intake to offset the caffeine headaches that often come with stopping caffeine cold turkey. I don't drink soda anymore (used to be addicted to diet dr. pepper); I do have one on occasion but for the most part I drink water, green tea and coffee (I AM addicted to coffee but drink it black).0 -
Sweetalker,
I feel the same sometimes too. I too have alot of weight to lose and it is hard to come to grips with the fact that it is just going to take time. Please consider adding me as a friend. I would if we could provide each other support through our journey.0 -
Friiiiiiiiiday Fiiiiiiiiitness! hmmm.... Yesterday, I did Zumba again. I love that class so much. Like seriously, it is the best part of my week. Love love love!! Today I have work and then i'm going to lift a bit. Maybe get back into the routine of lifting. (I lifted a lot in highschool for sports and stuff, but quit soon after). We'll see how it goes!
TGIF! Have a great weekend everyone!0 -
Friday Fitness - nothing - still fighting cramps in both arms, shoulders, biceps and wrists. Bottom is healing well, and that is excellent news. Wish I could swim but afraid I would drown with my arms not cooperating. Had to have help grocery shopping the other day. Wonder what is happening to me. Will see the doc in follow up in another week.
Keep up the good work everybody, at home at work and at school. Kudos to all the teachers and students here!0 -
Friday Fitness - My truck is still in the shop so we're down to 1 car this week. We've been getting up at 5 and getting home at 7 so I haven't really done anything at all.0

It is such a beautiful day today! I love cool mornings walking with Belle and praising God for His creation. On a sad note, I am out of:frown: peanut butter. Guess I will have to grocery shopping. I am going to walk Walmart today instead of using the scooter. Also planning a trip to Aldi's. No big plans for the weekend, have a Bible focused weight group in the morning and Church tomorrow night and then Sunday supper at my son and dil's. Might ask my grandson if he wants to spend Saturday night with me.
Friday fitness remember to start doing the wall pushups, going to start with 3 reps of 8. Continue my 2x a day walking Belle and walking Walmart rather than riding scooter.
To all those racers out there praying you have fun and finish well. To everyone have a wonderful, stress-free weekend.

Friday Fitness::: Well I have a schedule made out so I'm going to try and start it tomorrow.....wait let me rephrase that..I'm GOING to start it tomorrow. I will work out every Sat-Tues and every other Wednesday. This is my goal. Not only does it help not having to get up early but it also helps my weekends because those are the toughest and the extra calories...should I need them will be there from my workout!
Now to decide what to do! Start up one of my Jillian Michaels or Biggest Loser DVD's or use my elliptical or run? Maybe just switch up everyday? I will figure something out.
@naceto::: I am nervous about the schedule and schooling itself and just nervous in general. But I know everything will be fine! And I know I will feel proud of myself as you do! Congrats to you for going to school! What are you going for? Once I take my testing I am going to figure out what classes I need and hopefully get some more help from financial aid.
As sad as it is to say it, for this moment I wish I was single mom because my whole school would be paid for I know it. But I’m blessed with my family and wouldn’t trade it for the world!
@skinnyjeanz:::: I am most definitely going to check into online classes and everything I can to make this work. I would much rather be in a class room since I would get the proper information and help. But I will do the best I can.
@ohpampered1::: Great job on starting your journey and taking up this new lifestyle to make you healthier for you! Who cares what everyone else says. Just eat your lunch and know you are doing what you need to for you. I know it’s annoying and hard to block out but just keep thinking how this is for you!
As for the diet coke thing. I used to drink nothing but soda and then I started drinking nothing but water. And I HATED water. Now I love it. I still have a diet soda now and again. Like I’ll go weeks without buying any, bought some a couple weeks ago and maybe have one with dinner some nights. The headache’s will stop maybe just cut down to one day and go from there?
@lmackbethl::: This is what I do about trying to reply to everyone when I get a chance, I have to windows up on my screen, one is Microsoft word and the other is this thread and I scroll through and type my comments in word and then copy and paste so simple that way!
As for work. I understand your not liking where you work and moving on. That’s what I’m trying to do…I work for my parents though and it’s frustrating. I couldn’t imagine working nights I don’t think I could ever do it…if I had to but wow I am so not a night person! Good luck with everything and hope you do find a different job!
@Doug:::: Good luck tomorrow!!! So excited for you and proud of you! I know you are going to do VERY well! Makes me want to sign up for a race!
@sunshine_frec::: I LOVE Zumba! I was going 3nights a week. Then my daughter started school and things got hectic, even though it’s just pre-k lol I have to pick her up now on the days my husband works so I can’t make it to the Zumba class because I have her. SO that sucks. I still may try to make it to the Mon-Tues classes if I can. Because like you it really is one of the highlights of my week!
@RoibinsEgg:::: I really hope that you start getting better soon and hope that when you see the doctor it’s not bad news! Will be thinking about you!
@Christine::: You are doing such a fantastic job! All the walking and things you’re doing to keep getting better, such as walking in walmart instead of the scooter, is just fantastic! Keep up the great work!!!
Have a fantastic Friday everyone!!

Could you stay in the shallow end and just kind...jog under water? Where your feet can barely touch easily. That way you're safe and yet still moving around with water resistance? I hate that you're still not feeling very well. If you lived closer (much closer) I'd totally do your shopping for you....Wish I could swim but afraid I would drown with my arms not cooperating.
@ Christine - I had the same experience yesterday morning. This is my favorite time of year and when I drove in to work yesterday there was mist rising off the fields. The air was cool and c rips and everything smelled SO fresh and clean. I actually circled my work's campus twice so I could roll the windows down and enjoy the beautiful morning.
@Sweettalker & Nzenc - Hang in there It'll happen if you do the steps and trust the process. We're always here to support you when you need it!
@Patty - VERY belated happy birthday to yoU!
Happy birthday to others that I know I missed!
@Dobarber - Good luck tomorrow! You'll kick butt!
@ Ohpampered - My co workers all knew but only because a major health event kicked off my start so I was in hospital for 6 days and out of work. When I got back and told them what I would need to do they were all *amazing*. People were always bringing in snacks and leaving them on the table by my desk (centralized spot). Without prompting from me they moved their snack spot to a back corner about as far from my desk as you can get. They ate back there and not in front of me (until I told them it was quite ok. it didn't bother me). They have been an amazingly sweet and supportive bunch of guys all telling me how proud they are of me and complimenting me on my weight loss. Give people a chance They are often just wanting to help in any way they can.
@Naceto - Good luck in your classes! I'm so excited for you to be going back to school. I would *LOVE* to be able to do that (although finances right now won't permit it).
Friday FItness! I also had instruction from the DR to back off a little bit on exercise this week. At my appointment on Monday he claimed I looked "run down and exhausted". I was to eat MORE calories (at maintenance) and lay off exercise for two or three days. I ate a BIT above calories but not at maintenance and I took Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday off.
The next handful of days will look something like this:
Friday - Swim (45 minutes)
Saturday - Walk (20 minutes at brisk pace)
Sunday - Rest day
Monday - Swim (45 minutes)
Tuesday - Walk (25 minutes @ brisk pace)
Wednesday - Swim (45 minutes)
Thursday - Walk (25 minutes @ brisk pace)
Friday - Swim (45 minutes)
*Brisk pace for me is about 3.5 according to my iPhone walking app.
**Swim = combination of breast stroke and freestyle.0 -
Friday fitness: I worked up a sweat this morning cleaning and organizing my pantry. The local grocery store is starting their case lots sale next week. I had to make space.
I see the dr today about scheduling my knee replacement. I will be so glad when it is over!0 -
I've been MIA lately due to work and a case of bronchitis but am trying to get back into the world of the living.
Wednesday wish - that I could keep up with this group. Before I joined I was reading it every day and now that I finally joined I can't seem to log in every day and keep up with what;'s going on with everyone.
Thursday truth - Sometimes I just can't imaging being able to lose another 80 lbs. The first 45 were not too bad but it's getting harder due to having to eat fewer calories and/or exercise more. Can I really keep up with this forever?
Friday fitness - none. My work schedule has been hectic and I'm taking the day off. Will be at the gym tomorrow at 10:30 for a session with my trainer.0 -

@RobinsEgg - So sorry you are struggling. It's too bad you don't live in Wisconsin. I would be happy to help you. I had to learn real fast how to be a great care giver and I am becoming a pro at getting to the bottom of medical issues
. Hope you get everything sorted out. (((HUGS)))
Friday Fitness :flowerforyou:
I've actually found time to clean out my last closet and find a home for the last of my stuff. I guess I will call this fitness since I have to move at warp speed to get any "ME" time in :laugh: . This is as close to fitness I've gotten in the last 2 months. I miss my gym

Not sure if I am posting correctly. If anyone has any hints on how best to approach the posting, I would appreicate that.
What I am doing for exercise is going to the gym 3-4 times weekly for Water Aerobics class. This works for me because my joints are bad and this is low impact. Today, she had us running in the water and we got a good cardio workout. I am also walking a little each night. The walking is very difficult for me but I plan to continue and add a little to the distance each week. Getting the weight off will help me tremendously. I just started this
I am also doing Wii Yoga a couple of times a week and a free weight program with stretch bands that is designed to build your bones up. l was diagnosed with Osteoporosis years ago and used this set and at my next bone density test, the diagnosis was changed to osteopenia, so I did notice an improvement.
For ohpampered1
Thanks for all for the nice welcomes! You all seem so nice. So it's Truth Thursday..... lets see, I'm scared to tell anyone that I'm am trying to lose weight. I have failed so many times, and then I find my co-works look at what I'm eating for lunch and feel they have the right to tell me what they think I should eat.
Truth is, I'm addicted to Diet Coke, I'm trying to stop and I'm getting really bad headaches.
My husband quit smoking 100's of times before he succeeded. I have yo-yo'd with my weight for over 40 years, but still beleive I will eventually suceed. I don't want to become someone who just quits trying.
Just keep trying, you never know when it will stick0 -
My knee replacement surgery has been scheduled for October 15. Don't like to wish my life away, but I will be glad when it is over!0

Friday fitness: Yep, boring old me........gonna keep on walking. I may take a day off from time to time though. For me, hitting 5 miles each day is still a stretch so I'm going to give myself permission to scale back from time to time.

@kjeffries--you are doing just fine with the posting. If you want to quote someone else to respond directly, just click on "quote" in her post box and then put your reply outside (above or below) the bracketed [ quote ]--leave those in place so the original post shows up in a blue box. I personally rarely quote anyone--I just right click on "reply" and then click "open in new tab." Then I flip back and forth between the 2 windows and reply. Hope this helps. :flowerforyou:
@bella--cleaning out a closet sounds like a great (and productive) calorie burn. Hope your "me" time increases exponentially in the near future!
#tungsten--I sometimes feel the same way. I've been stuck around 50lbs lost for so long :grumble: and still need to lose a minimum of 30 more (but probably more like 50) to be at my ideal weight. I'm not so worried about keeping this up forever b/c I've been doing it for long enough that it's become my life. However, I sometimes wonder what more I need to do to make more progress. I've tried less calories, more cardio, more weights, switching up my workouts, more calories--I'm really hoping the October reduced carb challenge does the trick.
@mymowmow & kelley--I bet taking it easy for a couple of days will help recharge your batteries and make your future workouts more productive.
@tina--maybe switch it up between cardio and strength training so you don't get bored? I working out on the weekends b/c then I don't have to worry so much about any excess calories--I think you will enjoy that cushion as well, expecially since weekends have been historically tough for you.
@christine--you sound just like me about the peanut butter--I would definitely have to make a special trip to the store if I ran out! :laugh:
@robin--like someone else suggested, could you just play in the shallow end? Not deep enough to risk losing your footing, even jogging in waist high depth would give a good workout due to the resistance from the water. Also, I wonder if the water would help loosen up your shoulder muscles. Perhaps you should ask the dr. if it's a good idea.
@nzenczak--I also like to mix up my workouts with the constant of walking my dog everyday. You can see my plan below.
@doug--I'm so excited for you!! You are going to love your 1st 5k and I know you will do great!! Glad the foot loosened up with your run yesterday.
@ohpampered--I used to be addicted to Diet Coke (in a can--it's gotta be in a can!) but quit cold turkey and switched to green tea. I didn't get headaches b/c I didn't give up caffeine. Now I have diet coke in my rum and occasionally as a "treat."
Friday Fitness:
I didn't get around to doing my core work last night, so I did it tonight instead. Am excited for my 5k tomorrow, though just to clarify, mine is not a race--it's just a walk to raise money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Here is the link if anyone wants to donate (no pressure ):
http://afsp.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&participantID=313087
Mon--walk dog + core DONE!!
Tues--walk dog + gym (weight machines + stairmaster and/or stationary bike) DONE!!
Wed--long run outside DONE!!
Thurs--walk dog + core DONE!!
Friday--walk dog DONE!!!
Sat--5k walk (Out of the Darkness) + walk dog
Sun--walk dog + core
