SAUCY Sunbathing Sixers~Week 3

walked 15600 steps today. thats 7.40 miles of so! All during work! Also have received compliments every single day from the surgeons. It's amazing. I;m not sure what is happening but I'm thankful! Keep praying that I'll continue to do well!

gotta run. 40 mins to study then sleep!

Time for some personals:
Lauryn (Phoenix_Rising)....How are you goals going? Haven't seen you post in a couple of days, but I'm guessing life has gotten busy for you like everyone else. I hope you are doing well.

Cathy(chipper)......................Hello my beautiful lady. Altho the ice cream picture wasn't me, it very well could be some days. I hope your world is rockin along well. Your daily list of things to do tire me out, and inspire me. Keep it up.

Amy S (bahamom87)..........How are you feeling these days? You aren't posting as much. I'm hoping it's just because you are chasing your little one around. We miss you!

Kristin (kistinbee).................Hope the weather has cleared up for you. Graduation time and end of school year parties can mess with any diet. The good news is that it happens in the summertime so we can get out and work those extra yummy calories off.

Tracy ( frogy_98) ................. So sorry to hear about your friend's family situation. I think there is no worse fear than a parent having a sick child. I hope they find the right doctor who can find an easy and safe diagnosis and she has a quick recovery.

Kel (redneckwoman)..........Great job on the weight loss!!! Awesome.

B (its_B).................................Did you make it back home? Are you safe? Can't wait to hear how your like-life is going.

Tiff (gonabfit).........................It's great to have a job where you can be active, even if it is walking. Neat idea, calculating your steps. Your endurance is probably putting every one else to shame.

Tamm...................................Hope you are doing well. Thanks for keeping in touch and updating us on your world.

Amy (amypyr), Sandy (izzypup), Jennifer (candycaneps), AmyLou (amylou24), Rhiannon (PedalHound).....
Miss you guys and hope you are doing well.

Well, I decided to keep it real and step on the scale this morning as I felt like I got a "false positive" weighing in after the gym yesterday. Lo and behold, i was 141.4 lb :noway: :noway: :noway: half a lb less than my weigh in yesterday. Little happy dance. I honestly think it's the Wellbutrin. Altho I have to keep my edginess in check, I have had more consistent energy rather than lows and highs, and have been eating 3 healthy meals a day without any need for snacking. Oh yeah, also cut down severely on my coffee intake. I'm sure once it gets in my system completely, everything will level out. But altho I had massive cramps yesterday, I seem to be having "normal" pre TOM symptoms rather than anything dramatic. Maybe my hubby was right and it is somewhat psychosomatic? We will see. Whatever it is, I'll take it happily.

My DH also bought me seven CASES of water to keep me in good supply so I have no excuses. He's so awesome!!!

Well, now that you guys have distracted me enough, , time to get back to work. Hope to hear from you all soon during this busy season of fun in the sun.

For all my sixers who make this journey possible! (man those pills are working)

Good morning!

Well...I blew it on calories last night! BUMMER! Michael wanted pizza and I totally over did it! But I did get in a run with Kadence, so I won't beat myself up too much! Today will be better!

No time to post much now...another busy day and I'm taking tomorrow off, so you may not see much of me until next Monday! Hope you are all doing great! And let's all have a FABULOUS weekend!!!

Cathy, thank you so much for posting me in the updated weight section!!!

I was out of town for business. I'm back in today, and weighed in at 157!!!!! SUPER DUPER YAY!!! Gotta keep up this momentum.

I don't have time for personals, trying to catch up with work, but I'll be back on later tonight or tomorrow to catch up. Hope you all are having fantastic days!!!!

Cathy - You are an awesome mom. Take care of you too. I don't want the stress to get to you and throw all your internal chemicals out of whack. Lots of hugs to you and yours.

Tracy - Everyone needs a splurge every now and again. Once, it helps us to appreciate the days we do so well. And I hear it confuses your body and gives it a kick start the following week. Exercising the next day is always good too

pdxmom2 - I hope the iron infusion really works for you. It's amazing that when our body is missing something, it makes all the difference in the world. Let us know how it goes for you.

B - Great to hear from you. Glad your brother's graduation and trip home went well for you. Don't forget we are going to want a white bathing suit update sometime this summer. I know you are doing great. Always know I'm missing ya and thinking about ya. We are here when you want us

Speaking of bathing suits: Okay, so I tend to not do a lot of strength training. Didn't want bulky muscles. But about three months ago I started working on my upper body because my husband suggested it, simply doing push up, planks, and weights I have at home. Took pictures of my back the other day and I was actually impress. Figured I do a lot of lower body cardio at the gym.

Well, yesterday I saw a picture my husband had taken of my backside in a bathing suit last week. All I can say it :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: It was horrible. So much cottage cheese and dimples (and not the cute kind). I begged him to erase it.

So this morning I did some research. Guess what helps cellulite? Yup, strength training. So I guess I'm going to be building up those muscles. There's no "cure" for cottage cheese, but water intake and strength training is supposed to help it. So I'm going to have him keep that picture and take another one at the end of this challenge and see what becomes of it. But YUCK.

Have a great weekend my lovely ladies. Keep moving!!!

I need to come do personals!!!! Ughghghghghghghgh!

158.4 this morning. Mexican for dinner last night. Blargh!! It'll pass

Love you all, back later! Loving this Saturday, hope you all are too!

Good morning my lovely ladies,

Tomorrow is "supposed" to start my TOM. I have just a few cramps, nothing unmanageable, but I am extremely tired and ended up eating like 3 huge spoonful of PB after dinner last night, so I'm guessing I've got the munchies. But then I made my family go on a walk with me so they could get ice cream. I refrained other than a taste. But today, I need to get back to focusing. I tend to sabotage at this point my hard work and the weigh-in will reflect it. But not this time. I AM IN CONTROL!!!

I hope you guys are having a fabulous weekend. I get my kids two nights in a row, so I am extremely excited (albeit tired). Talk to you guys tomorrow.

:flowerforyou:

miss you sixers!

Good morning all!

Yet another no-so-great-food-wise weekend. Bummer. Moving on.

Did get in a run last night...felt great! I always feel so good after I run...just need to remember that! Need to really focus on my food intake...I've been SO bad lately! I know that is what is keeping my weightloss at a standstill. I have been between 174 and 176 for FOREVER now!! Need to break past that!! 160s--WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?! SO...need to regain focus. Need to have self-control. Need to do this!!!! It starts NOW.

Plan for today:
B-Multigrain cheerios, 1/2 c. skim milk, 2 c. coffee, 4 tbsp. sugar-free creamer
S-trail mix bar, banana
L-2 sl. light whole wheat bread, 1 oz. cheese, 4 sl. turkey, lettuce, drizzle of honey mustard, baby carrots, light yogurt
S-golden delicious apple
D-Chicken, green salad, spritzer dressing, la choy chow mein noodles...to add a little crunchy!
S-Canteloupe, sugar-free popsicle

Exercise:
Hopefully a run...it supposed to rain...again...

Goal for today: No straying from my meal plan!!!

Have a good morning ladies!

SO...I put into my food diary and I need to add something to dinner...it's just simply not enough calories and I will be hungry. Maybe a baked red potato. Or some other kind of starch. And maybe some more veggies. I will think about it and re-adjust.

I DON'T WANNA WEIGHT IN TOMORROW......:sad: :sad: :grumble:

Me neither!
