****TMI warning***

I know this sounds weird and probably gross (thus the tmi warning) but i am soo excited serena went poop. I am mean this was the largest poop i have ever seen...like no way this should come out of a almost 7 yr old. This explains a lot with the peeing in her pants lately, when she gets real constipated , doctors told me before, her bowels/intestine push on the bladder.

check in for today:
calories - 1100
water - 90-100
proud that I got some wedding planning accomplished today as I've really been dragging my heels.

night all :yawn:

love your attitude!! and happy birthday!

Nancy, I love a red tint to my hair (I have one naturally but I like my hair darker than natural) so I always end up dying it reddish brown and feel like a clown for a few days after. But after several washes, the red always tones itself down to a good level.

07.13.10
Calories: 1386
Exercise: None, really. I had to stay 2 hours late at work tonight because apparently people completely forget how to cook (and tip) when it rains. :grumble:
Water: About 14 cups
Proud: I did it. I logged every last calorie. I haven't been doing this religiously every day for a few months. I'll take a bite of something here and there and not log it. Bad. But today I logged everything. All the way down to the 1/2 packet of drink mix and the 1 bite of breadstick & garlic sauce and the 1 stick of sugar free gum and the 10 honey roasted peanuts. Every. Single. Bite. Just like I did for the first several month. I AM going to lose 50 more pounds.

Tes, Welcome to our group! I guess Jess and Meokk gave you the rundown of what goes on around here..Thanks girls. Congrats on the 5 pounds! :flowerforyou:

Litdeb: sorry to hear you daughter get constipated, but it’s nice to know why she is peeing in her pants..some questions are being answered. If you want something safe for her constipating try eating kiwi..one kiwi first thing in the morning will have you going in no time. I do this for my 4 y/o son when he complains his stomach hurts. You can eat it anytime of the day and it will still do the trick but I find that in the morning ( nothing in the stomach) will work faster. Good luck girl.

Jess: job well done planning out your meals. I hae been doing the same thing, that way I am not left guessing what to eat and end up eating the wrong thing. You are doing great exercising and eating well:flowerforyou:

Blue: aww, sorry to hear about you whole hair dying experience..hopefully when it washes out it won’t be so vibrant…that’s what happens to me when I first dye my hair auburn red. Hang in girl {{{HUG}}}

Kerridodson: great job being under(calorie) your personal goal..keep it up

Julie: well done logging all your food..I have been slacking off for the last 6 weeks that is probably why I have not lost a single pound. I restarted loggin in my food this Monday and I am with you…We will lose the 50 pounds. Good Luck girl!

Tstout: sounds like you’re making progress. I hope that whatever you have leaves soon; It sucks being sick and trying to lose weight all at the same time. Congrats on the hour walk!!!

Good morning girls!

I am back to my lowest weight of 194lbs!!!

My legs are still super sore....I dont know whats going on. Maybe having TOM for this long is making my body weaker? I just feel so tired and sore. I have been resting...havent excercised hardcore since Saturday? I did work out Monday but it was really low intensity and only burned about 300 cals...so I dunno. Im listeing to my body and resting it but it doesnt seem to be getting better. I'd really like to be able to make it to the gym tonight. I hope Once I eat through out the day I'll have more energy. I would LOVE to see a 193 on Friday! My goal for the month is 190 and even if Im like at 191 or 192 Ill be happy!! I am on vacation next week but I plan on not eating too much (yea....thats the plan, we shall see)

Tstout: I am glad you are feeling a little better in your tummy. I am sure the sore throat will get better soon. I had H1N1 a few weeks ago and it took me almost 3 weeks to finally get over the sore throat. That was a bad virus!!!

Morning ladies!

Welcome to our new friends!

Jess - Chili sounds awesome. Just be sure you don't doctor it up like I do....sour cream, cheese, chips! Healthy chili turns into bad for your chili REAL quick. I know you are a smart girl and don't make silly choices like I do.
Cris - Congrats on seeing that 194 again!! I saw 183.6 last night at my weigh-in, so I'm +0.6 from my lowest weight. Getting back down there!
LittleSpy - Good for you for logging every.single.bite. I try to do that, but know there are some things that don't get logged in. What a great way to take accountability for everything.
Deb - That must have been on big poop!! :noway: Glad the mystery of Serena's problems are becoming clearer.
Blue - I love that :explode: is the perfect way to describe how you looked. You can make lemonade out of even the sourest lemons.
Pos - I am eating fruit like a crazy person lately. I love summer!! If I'm over in cals because of fruit, I can deal with it.
tstout - Way to keep after eating all the calories you need! I think it's so good that you recognize it's difficult right now and are making an effort to give your body the nutrition it needs. I hope the porcupine gets the heck out of your throat soon!

Hot yoga was AWESOME!! I really really enjoyed it and felt great after the class. I will definitely make it part of my routine. At $5/class (plus $2 for a towel - no washer/dryer in my house means I'm using theirs!), it's totally something I can make work in my budget.

With my double workout yesterday, I decided to pass on my workout this morning. I needed a rest day. Tomorrow will be another double workout day - cardio in the am, yoga in the pm.

Cris, you'll be glad to know I got LOTS of water in. How much you ask? Well, just 22 cups. Yes, 22 cups = 176 oz. I sweated BUCKETS at hot yoga.

Check-in for yesterday:
Cals - Under with exercise cals - 1,421
Water - 176 oz
Exercise - Last Chance Workout video in the am, hot yoga in the pm = 487 cals
Proud - I'm back down to 183.6!
Positive/happy moment - Even though it was my first hot yoga class, I feel like I did a good job. I mentioned this to the instructor and she said I did a great job. YEAH!

Goodness, I come into work late and I'm a page behind on posts! I had to go to the dentist. YUCK! I went to bed in a bit of a crabby mood, therefore I woke up in crabby mood. Mike came over last night. Now before he came over I said he could only stay for like an hour because I was going to bed early so I could get up and hit the gym. Well, when I told him it was time to go he threw a little bit of a fit. Which really ticked me off. I know he wants to spend time with me but getting up and going to the gym is important to me. I didn't go at all last week because I was spending time with him. Am I overreacting by being a little ticked off? My roommate said she thinks it's disrespectful. It took me 20 minutes to get him out of there. I did go to the gym this morning though. My back is hurting and I just didn't feel like I could give enough for a real high intesity workout so I kept my hearrate in the 130's and 140's. At least I went right? Now I'm finally at work after the dreadful dentist! And here are my comments!

blue-I'm sorry you are having such an awful time with your hair. Glad to hear it's calming down though.

tstout-What kind of peanut butter milkshake do you make? That sounds DELICIOUS!

POS Me- I NEVER knew kiwi did that! Good to know! So glad to see you around and posting again!! Keep up your hard work and planning. We're all going to get each other through this.

Cris-Congrats on the 193. I hear ya on the soreness. My lower back is KILLING me!! I went to the gym this morning and just did a lower intensity workout. Don't want to push it. Maybe more protein for the soreness?

Kerri-It is always nice to know your hard work is paying off. I know I still get excited when people make comments to me, even if it's something small. Keep working hard. I think that's great you have a challenge going on with your brother!

LittleSpy-I'm the same way. It creeps me out getting ready at the gym. But I must conquer my fear when I move. I have to.

elmox-Hot yoga? That just sounds brutal! Kudos to you! And I will do my best not to make it a bad chili. LOL No chips or anything in my house. But I do have cheese...uh oh!

litspy - glad you are feeling more like yourself again! Yes, the whole shower at the gym thing is creepy, but it is OK once you get used to it. Just MAKE SURE you wear thongs! OMG the first time I didn't because I was clueless and got the WORST case of athlete's foot! EWW!!!

:laugh:
It always takes me a few seconds when someone calls them "thongs." I mean, I know that's what they're called but NO ONE around here says anything other than "flip-flops." Southerners love onomatopoeias (Woot! I'm even unzombied enough to spell today!).

I definitely learned my lesson about shoes in community showers from band camp in high school. :indifferent: I even wore them when I lived in a dorm in college even though I only shared my shower with 3 other people. Yicky.

Blue- thanks!!! :blushing: :blushing:

Pos me- I didnt know Kiwi did that, thanks for the tip! When my son gets constipated we have to wrestle to get him to eat prune (baby food), he actually likes kiwi so thats a great tip!!!

Jess- Im sorry Mike was disrespectful, I dont think you are making a big deal out of nothing, its obviously something thats important to you and he should have been mindful of that

Julie- lol I was like "thongs?!'' we call them flip flops or sandals...never thongs! I was like huh?! Yea, def wear shoes, I wore them at camp and in college too!

Heather- thanks for the tip! $5 is not bad at all! Im going to see if they offer that around here! thanks!!!

I think I have my photographer and DJ picked out- so Im excited! Now its just a matter of booking them!

Cris - WTG on the picking out the dj and photographer

Thanks for the advise on constipation...I am not sure i can get her to eat a kiwi or nuts...but she likes creamy peanut butter so maybe i will look at it.

cake place picked out too! I just chose the least expenisve one, I dont really care about the cake

out of all the weddings ive been to i have NEVER had cake so I dont know what happens to it, i think its like purely for "cutting the cake" pictures only! stupid!

I found a local supermarket that makes wedding cakes for relatively cheap but they only use pound cake...not the tastiest but whatever its cheap! They have awesome designs though so it will look pretyt for my pictures, i doubt ill be eating any of it hah! the only problem is that bobby kind of had his heart set on red velvet which they dont make...but really, is he willing to pay an extra $200 for red velvet?! i think not!

I wasnt oing to have a grooms cake but maybe we can have one at the rehersal dinner and have it red velvet....hehe that way his parents can pay for it!

I know im mean...whatever!
