Need to Lose 100 LBS -Robins Thread !

My first day on here has gone well!!! No exercise yet but I had such a full and stressful week last week that my body needed rest or functioning normally would be off the table.... I have constant vertigo and it gets worse (even to debilitating) with stress. Hoping for a better tomorrow in that area!!!

Tuesday Goal: Well, since Tuesday is almost over, I really didn't have any set goals. I did stay under my calories and made good food choices. Cyrus had a game tonight so I couldn't squeeze any exercise. I froze though because it was so chilly. The rest of the week is supposed to be gorgeous though so I'm going to try and get in a walk Wednesday thru Saturday. Food is good, but I really need to start moving more.

Just need to say it's 28 minutes to midnight and I'm UNDER goal--2 days in a row!!!!.

Wednesday Wish:: That I don't screw up this weekend! Weekends are always the hardest for me. Especially because I have class Saturday.

I will do it! I can do this!

I think I want to check into some different Leslie Sansone DVD's. I like this one a lot but I think I want some that are a little harder. This one is a good workout and I sweat. But I want a little more. Maybe I just need to push myself harder, idk. I will keep up with this for awhile and maybe get a new one eventually. Or get back on the treadmill and do some running

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!!

Tina

Good Morning.

@Tina~You are doing awesome in your classes and restarting exercise. Good luck with clinicals!
@Kaye~How great about being able to take in all of those clothes so you can wear them longer. My mom sewed while I was growing up, actually made a lot of my clothes back then. My sister is a decent sewer but I never had a knack for it and ironically have my grandmothers sewing machine.
@Marsha~Keep it up, make today day 3!

Wednesday Wish~My wish just came true! I’m so tired today and wished for Starbucks – one of our marketing guys just brought me a skinny caramel macchiato. Yum-O!

Wednesday Wish: Last July, we moved from Sioux Falls SD to Bismarck ND. However, we still have not sold our house down there (that's a lot of house payments!!). However, right now, Sioux Falls is taking a beating from mother nature. Approximately 1.5 - 2" of ice everywhere and the snow is starting on top of it today. They are expecting 6-10 inches. On Facebook, I saw tons of pictures around town (some in our old neighborhood) of trees uprooted, broken trees, downed branches. Our realtor is out of town so he couldn't give me an update. Got hold of an old neighbor -- so far so good. My house was built in the 70's, there are LOTS of big old trees in my yard, but so far just small branches down. My wish -- it stays that way! It would break my heart to have to pour some more money into fixing the house up, just to take a bigger hit to my pocketbook when/if it ever sells.

Hope your Wednesday is going well for you. I'll do some personals a bit later.

@TLH - Oh my goodness, I hope you get your new scale soon. That silly thing has become the most important piece of equipment in my kitchen. I'm SO obsessed with weighing every bite of food, jeez, maybe I should buy a backup. :laugh: You're doing AMAZING with all that exercise, well done!

@Helen - I sure hope the pup feels better fast! I know how worried I get when one of my boys (cats) is ill. I hover constantly and fret over them until they feel better. A co-worker bought himself a pair of Brooks for walking he swears by them. Tells me they are like walking in pillows. I'm a hard core New Balance lover. In fact, I think Kohl's has a sale on them this week. I'm due for a new pair as well.

@Susan - Thank you so much {Gianthugs}. YOu are always so supportive and uplifting. I sure home one day I can have your strength of will! You are so my hero, woman.

@Robin - Thanks! I'll post some pictures of my big boy in it when I get it. It arrives tomorrow and it's SUPPOSED(that can change in the next 5 minutes here in Oregon)tomorrow so I should be able to take him out in it.

@Melancholy - So glad the grandson is doing better! Poor little tyke, how scary for him AND for everyone else.

@Skinny Jeans - I hope the changes net the result you want. I'm learning it's like some kind of weird dance...getting the numbers exactly right to get the results you want.

@GrammyWhammy - WTG on two days of being under! You're on a roll!

@GrandmaKaye - YOu are doing so well with this. Dropping weight like crazy and fitting into new clothes, way to go! I laughed when you talked about hemming capri pants. My mom is 4'8" and she buys capris all the time because they are the perfect length for her as regular pants. So, at the end of summer she snags up all the capris on sale and wears them all winter as regular trousers.

@Toots - I sure hope the DH has it figured out for him quickly. How frustrating and scary for him (and all of you) for feeling bad with few answers.

Welcome to all the newlings. This thread has the most supportive and wonderful people on all of MFP.

Wednesday wish - That my work is able to negotiate a longer contract so I don't have my 3 month layoff this fall....a LITTLE more money in the negotiation would be some great icing on that cake too!

Happy Wednesday folks, and welcome to all our newlings! :flowerforyou:

Wednesday wish - that I knew for certain what to do about the SAGGIES :huh: I am working weights & toning exercises, and moisturizing like mad - and I know that there are some areas that will never get better (and some that will get a some bit better but not perfect) but YUK! Anyone have any better ideas?

I don't want to do a week of exercise, healthy eating and then fail...again.

There will inevitably be times in this journey where you'll do *EVERYTHING* right and the scale won't move. You can't gauge your success on a number on the scale. You have to remind yourself that even if the number doesn't move what you did THAT week when you ate clean healthy food and exercised improved your health, made your body stronger, and prepared your metabolism for weight loss and success next week, next month, and next year. You'll have lots of NSVs (non scale victories) to show progress. Like inches lost, increased activity level, feeling great, clothes fitting better, and even a better complexion.

Welcome to the group

wed wish- more energy

WednesdayWish... Hmmm, that's a fun topic! Right now I wish that my husband didn't have to work late tonight, lol! I'm so tired and the thought of wrangling our 13 month old alone tonight is NOT appealing! She's not so bad, but definitely loves to RUN around the house!

Today went well, we had a crazy overnight freeze here in Texas, so I didn't go workout at 5:30am as I had planned - BUT I went over my lunch break and got an hour on the elliptical done! I was so proud! I posted a photo on FB of my elliptical stats, but of course someone had to pipe up with "you KNOW those calories are over-exaggerated, right??" I was like..."really??" Out of all the things you could say, you pick that? Thanks a lot! Of course I know that I can't trust machine displays 100%, but jeez, go find someone else's bubble to burst, would you?

Anywho, I didn't let it get me down! There's always going to be negative nancies in the world.

Hi all. I hope you all had a great day. Mine started a little earlier then I am used to. I am helping out my brother right now and watching the kids on Wednesdays. I have to be at their house by six when they leave for work and then get the kids up and off to school. I then pick my nephew up form kkindergarten at 12:30 and spend the afternoon with him and then pick up his sister at 3:30 and keep them until my brother gets home at around 5. It was a fun day. I love spending time with them but they wear me out, lol. I did get to the gym after I dropped them off at school and got in a nice hour of working out. After school we came back to my house and they helped me give all the animals a bath. They couldn't beleive it when the cat let me bathe him. They have a cat who is very persnickety. I told them Thor behaved himself because he has been getting baths since he was a little kitten and knows better then to misbehave. The two dogs suffered through their baths very patiently as well. I think the lab would love her bath because of the way she gets a really good scratching all the way around but she hates being wet. I think if I was going to wish for anything today it would be that the animals were capable of bathing themselves:laugh:
Well have a wonderful evening all.

Wednesday Wish: Last July, we moved from Sioux Falls SD to Bismarck ND. However, we still have not sold our house down there (that's a lot of house payments!!).

Hope your Wednesday is going well for you. I'll do some personals a bit later.

Last April I moved from Atlanta to Las Vegas. I had 4 months of paying mortgage AND rent, which was not fun so I can totally relate. Luckily, it only took 4 months to sell. I was on a 1/2 acre lot and had already taken down 10 trees. Every time there was a storm I was so worried about the other trees. Plus, I had a pool that we went ahead and covered up. I was so lucky because my realtor lived in the neighborhood so she went by the house almost daily heading out of the complex. I'll say a little prayer that the house sells quickly.

Wednesday Wish: I need to get back my exercise mojo back. No, I have not checked out the gyms like I thought I would do. I'm going to try and get out this weekend. Our weather is starting to really be so nice so I should have NO excuse for walking outside. I just need to get my lazy butt out of bed. Of course, I need to get healthy too. My sinuses are killing me and I sound like I swallowed a frog. Not good.
