HI girls,
Its just been "one of those days". It all started out dandy, I weighed in this morning at 199
(hello again onderville), then my son slept in til almost 9am....which made me late for work but on the plus side I got to sleep in. I took him to daycare and they told me that he wasnt allowed to stay there because he had thrown up yesterday, and they have a 24 hr policy. At this point I was already late for work by 45mins and still had to take my step-son to his moms **sigh** I took step-son home and called my father (I work for my dad) and told him I was going to have to bring Bryaden into work with me. He knows he is a handful so he told me to go somewhere for about an hour so that he could get to the office to help me. So I went to Babies R Us to get some "toys" to entertain him while he was in the office and ended up spending almost $200. Mind you my fiance was laid off for 5 weeks (hes working again now) and we really dont have that money to be throwing away...duh me! So I get to work and my dad is still not there and my dear lil one is running rampant while I try to control the emails and phone lines. Not to mention it was 1,000 degrees outside and the AC couldnt keep the office cold enough so I was sweating my *kitten* off. I was oh so looking forward to nap time so I could get some actual work done, but my son decided that he didnt need a nap today. I finally left work at 330pm and sure enough he passed out on the ride home. Now I am sitting here and feel better to have caught up with the posts...but I dont have time to do personals...got spin class in about 30 mins. Oh...I KNOW smoking is bad and all but I smoked my last cig last night and I planned on picking a pack up after I dropped the kids off at daycare and home but since that didnt happen I had no cigs until about 30 mins ago. OMG I was going f-ing insane...I really thought I was going to shoot myself...withdrawl is NOT pretty :smokin:
On the plus side...I am still going to spin class tonight, and I stuck to the meals I had planned...actually I missed one of my snacks thanks to my lovely son who didnt give me a moment of peace...so I get a nice snack after dinner.
Ok better go get drressed...missed stalking you all today!
Hugs,
Cris0 -
Cris-Sounds like you have had quite a rough day today! Go let it all out a spin class tonight! I'm headed there when I get off work! I ate so much today I feel like I have to go home and workout more after spin class. I've pretty much eaten all my exercise calories I'm going to burn. :sick:0

Thanks gal I am going strong on about 4 lbs loss this week (that is if i don't screw it up tonight),
cris - you had a rough day ...sooo sorry..i work from home but i know when my little one is sick i can't get anything done and usally end up taking day off.

and happy weigh in tomorrow!!!0 -
QUICK!!
I need good reasons why I shouldn't go eat that brownie that's calling my name. Screaming :devil: my name, actually.
Feeling very tempted.
(and yes I drank my water, just downed 24 ounces.)0 -
Hi all! Just checking in today...I'm working on getting my water in, trying to build up to 8 glasses a day. Today's goal is 6 glasses. I'm doing well on my calorie count and after dinner tonight will be under by 38 calories. I was able to get in a little walking on the treadmill today after work. Feeling really good, not hungry which is so nice:) I really hope this week I lose something when I weigh in on Monday. For the last two weeks I have stayed the same so I am looking forward to seeing the scale move. Way to go everyone with all of your hard work! I love reading all of your posts and am so encouraged by you all:)0

Proud: Definitely not proud how much I stuffed my face. But I pushed myself on the resistance on the bike.0 -
Hooray, I caught up on the posts (well, except for the couple pages earlier this week I still haven't gotten to).
LilDeb -- you're really rocking it at the gym! Sounds like your muscles are relaxing and all your hard work at the gym over the last few weeks is finally showing up on the scale, huh?
(Is an "I told you so" in order here? 
)
Heather -- I'm glad you're back! I loved your movie trailer.
Cris -- What a day! Congratulations on Onderland the 2nd time around! That's pretty awesome.
Tstout - Hang in there, it can't stay this hectic very long. I'm having a nightmare week at work, too. That'll teach me to take time off. I've worked several hours over this week. Most people would think "Yay, at least I get paid overtime" but... um.... I don't get overtime because my position is exempt from FLSA laws. That's just dandy, huh? I don't understand why the Fed makes laws & then allows employers to deem people as exempt from those laws. :huh: As my supervisor puts it, our compensation for working overtime is that we're allowed to continue working there. :laugh: It's not like I even have a decent salary or anything (you'd have to work 6 months at my job to find that $15,000 you're looking for... and that's assuming you're not forced to contribute to a pension and taxes like I am... And that is why I deliver pizza part time. :ohwell: ). Ridiculous, it is. Cheers to working your *kitten* off at a job you hate for essentially no money! :drinker: Sorry about the ranting tangent.
Susan -- If you can't be trusted around the brownie, throw it away. But if you can be trusted, have a little piece of it to satisfy that craving. I couldn't be trusted around candy or baked goods for the first 3 months or so I was working on my healthier lifestyle so I didn't have them anywhere near me. I was seriously *addicted* (and I'm not someone who uses that term lightly) to sugar. Now I can be trusted. I had half of a cookie & some coffee tonight and my sweet tooth was satisfied (and the entire bag of cookies is sitting in the kitchen. 10 months ago that bag would've been gone... like 3 hours after I bought it yesterday )
stongue -- I don't believe I've welcomed you, so welcome to the most awesome group of ladies on MFP (or anywhere else for that matter)! I find keeping a big cup or bottle of water by me most of the time really helps with my water intake. I have a 2 liter jug of sorts I keep on my desk and just sip throughout the day. This way getting enough water never seems like a very difficult task for me.
So, TOM is full force but I'm still under 200 AFTER dinner! Yay! Looks like I'm recovering from my delicious honeymoon quickly enough. I very much doubt I'll actually show a loss this week. I'll be extremely happy with a 197 or so in the morning with TOM kicking my bloated butt the way it is right now.0 -

Thank you !!! Thank you !!! Maybe you were a little right
I am loving this, I am still amazed that after dinner i was 268, i just can't believe how much i am loosing this week...not that i am complaining, i think some of it was last week but since TOM came on tuesday i think i got some of that weight back from last week...but i will take it...I know that everyweek won't be like this ,but i will take it where I get it
I keep thinking that tomorrow morning i am going to wake up and be back to 270...i am soo happy to be in the 260's you don't even know...we will see what the morning will bring.
I don't "count" my weight until friday, so being under 268 in the morning will be such a big thing as it will be 1/3 way to my 1st big goal of loosing 150 lbs)...0 -
Check in
cals - 1737
Water - about 64 oz

Proud - Usally we have pasta (among other things) that serena and/or abby doesn't like i usally make them , mac n cheese or chicken nuggets, today we were having spaghetti and i told her that is what she was having and she ate almost all of it, she said her new favortie food was spaghetti, of course not eating a lot with the fork and more with the hands and on her face , but she ate it and so did abby, it made me soo happy,0 -
I am very proud to see so many of our sisters checking in. I have not seen that many check-ins in some time. :drinker: I like reading everyone's check-ins. I love to read what everyone is proud of. Keep on checkin'!
I am still running on 6 shots of espresso and my ADD meds. No sleep for me tonight!!! But on the upside I cleaned my ENTIRE house! I mean I got down and dirty and scrubbed! :laugh: I also organized the kitchen! I rock.
check in:
cals: under - like 400 under. I KNOW I KNOW. Shhh. Peanut butter.
water: close to 100
exercise: 90 mins of PT. I wore my Polar this time and I did not go under my zone for one second! Most of the time I was over. That is how hard PT is for me, girlie girls!
proud: there was a monsignor at PT working next to me and I kept it clean - no cursing. :devil: I mean :bigsmile:0 -
I blame Wednesday and Thursday for my measley 0.6 pound loss. Oh well.. at least it's something. Next week will be better.
tstout.... -0.6.... .006%0 -
Okay... I realized that I'm about to post twice within minutes I posted the last one quickly in haste and didn't go back and read everything from yesterday.
The end of the day was lightyears better than the rest of the day. We figured out how to put tires on the car (yay!) which means we'll be able to drive to Ohio this weekend for my sorority sister's wedding, and we got the front breaks done which meand we'll be able to stop when we get there! (I was having visions of having to tuck and roll outside of the church... not good.) While we were waiting on the car to be done, we walked down to the pub near our house for dinner. I had the grilled bbq chicken sandwich and maybe 8 french fries (proud! :happy: )... and a 312 yummmm. But the point is! NO CAKE! WOO!!!
Thank you ladies, for all of your kind words yesterday. I certainly wouldn't have made it through the day without cake, macaroni and cheese, and whatever else I could find without you.
Here's to a great weekend and a better week next week!!
Personal goals for next week: Start Couch25K. 2 days of strength training. Water water water water water!0 -

I'm seeing some big numbers as people weigh in on the main page! Can't wait to see how everybody did! I'm down another pound from yesterday so I'm at 214.8 which is still almost 5 pounds below my lowest weight. Seeing these big numbers is giving me the push I need!0 -
Jess- you are starting to work out ..i know you will see big numbers soon ..0

Jess- you are starting to work out ..i know you will see big numbers soon ..
Than you! I'm hopeing to have these 4.8 pounds I gained gone by Wednesday. It's gonna be tuff but I'm going to give it my best shot!! You know you haven't been to spin class in awhile when you wake up after your first day back and your butt hurts all over again! But I'm going to go again tomorrow morning! 0 -
Good job on the spin class...my but hurts every morning after spin class!!! We skipped last sunday, but we are going tonight and Sunday morning ...
How is your foot doing..is it all better now.0 -
LilDeb!! You're awesome!
I've never been so happy to not report a loss. It's day 2 of heavy TOMness and I'm only up 0.6 pounds from my lowest weight ever!
Now, I know as soon as I hit the gym tonight my weight is going to go up a couple pounds and that's okay, but I'm going to bask in the 196.4ness (I was around 203 on Tuesday). Seriously, I don't think you'd even believe me if I told you everything I ate this weekend. :laugh: I guess he biking everywhere on the island thing really did keep me from gaining weight! :drinker:

Okay. I palnned out my breakfast and lunch and I'm going to try and not snack today. Only on fruit if I must snack. I have about 600 calories left for dinner tonight. Supposed to go to dinner with Mike and not sure where we are going. He's killing me with wanting to go out to eat! I'm going to have to start suggesting me cooking dinner or something.0

Jess, I lost weight that I lost before ( 3/ 4 weeks ago) I changed my ticket ( i think 2 weeks ago) when the weight didn't come off ( because I wasn't focused). But this week I was really focused - even when I went out for lunch with my famly..I had a salad w'chicken breast ( skin and bone removed)..and a couple of cookies. I didn't eat dinner that day because I was stuffed from lunch. the next day I had a couple handfulls of popcorn ( herrs cheese popcorn) and dinner I had homemade lasagna.. So Monday and Tuesday I was over on calories ( about 200 -300) and the rest of the week I stay a little below calories..becuase I was afraid of seeing a gain..I really didn't weigh myself the whole week but today. I was so suprized. I did the zig-zag thing the rest of the day..maybe that helped.
I know you WILL lose the 5 pounds so don't stress about it and just do what you can..eating and exercising without making it tourture on yourself...take it one day at a time, And enjoy the company and not the food...stay in control and postive :flowerforyou:
