JUNE STARTERS ~ July 18th....

Hey ladies....

I didn't see a new thread...
I also did see if we had made the decision to go to a monthly thread or keep the weekly threads..... ? ? ?

I weighed this morning and got 5 different numbers. First time that has happened with this newer scale... So, I will weigh in tomorrow. I have been back on track so I'm happy about that. AND my husband and I are going to be starting the P90X excited about that.

Hope you are all having fabulous week so far..... Tell us what you are doing......

Hey KJ- I think we did decided on the monthly thread. I don't care if this turns into it or if we keep the other one.

I am recommitting to the gym Tues and Thurs with my bf and then Wed nights with my bff. lol Maybe I'll even be able to fit more in but I would like to get my garden cleaned out. I've been saying that since Spring. **sigh** I always find something better to do... lol

I'm hoping I can undo the damage I've done by Friday. I REALLY want a loss! lol I was good Sat, Mon, and I will be good today and tomorrow. I still can't workout but I feel like I can because it doesn't hurt. I know I shouldn't though. Dentist said not for a week. :grumble:

Hi there everyone ... Wednesday Already???? Time is so fleeting. My baby gets married in less then a month. :noway: Wow, where has the time gone? It's unbelievable how all consuming this wedding has become. Not so much my time now, but my thoughts are always there ... you know what I mean? Anyway ... after August 20th my life will be back to normal. I'm taking the week after the wedding off of work just to de-program my brain :laugh:

busymom74

I hope you're all out having fun! I'm so BORED.

Maggs ~ Weddings have a way of doing that LOL.... I think your week of deprograming is a fabulous idea...

Busymom ~ I'm sure you will get a loss... You amaze me, girl!! I'm so proud of you!!! Sorry about the dentist stuff...THAT'S the worst...hate the dentists... LOL
I love gardening...definitely get around to it if you can... it's good therepy

I pulled my calf muscle last night while playing volleyball. I felt so OLD... I had to step out of the game and try to stretch it out... didn't work. I pulled it pretty good... It's not as sore as I thought it woudl be this morning...so that's a good thing
I went jogging the night before last... I LOVED IT!!! I have never loved running or jogging before (when I was skinny LOL)... but I can really see myself falling in love wtih it... Sometime about the way you feel...ALIVE LOL>... I can't really explain it... but I can understand the addiction...
Ok, gals... LOVE YA!!!!! THanks for keeping me motivated when I was not offering any motivation myself!!!!

The numbers on the scale are NOT moving. I thought breastfeeding burns 500 calories a day? Guess I eat too much then or something :grumble:

:sad: I forgot to weigh in! :sad: I'm going camping tomorrow so I won't have a chance to either. :sad: I was really looking forward to celebrating the official 50 lbs lost. :grumble:

Oh well- time is on my side. So what if I celebrate next week instead??

Yolie- Take it slow! You're doing great already!

Thanks, but that 18 pounds was all water weight that came off in the first week. I haven't lost anything in 5 weeks.

Hi all- I'm back from vacation. I'm not ready to be though. lol

Hello ladies! I'm back from a short work trip followed by my boyfriend's mom's surprise 60th birthday party. Now I'm back home ready to get back to the grind of writing that damned thesis.. August 31st can't come soon enough!

Oh, and I got my glasses yesterday! I've mostly been wearing contacts for the past 5 or more years, and have been looking for frames for a while now. It's always fun having new things!

I posted the picture of them in with my profile pics.

Kandy, that's great that your hubby is into it now too! :drinker:

O.k. Now that I have time to post- I had a great weekend. We climbed the Sleeping Bear sand dunes. If you've never done it- put it on your bucket list! It is AMAZING! I know it'd be quite a trip for some of you, it's in Traverse City MI but it's SO worth it! It took us ALL day to get to Lake MI and the water was SOO COLD but felt so good after the treck! I can't wait to do it again! It's really inexpensive also! Only $10 for a week pass into the park. After that we went into town and found a bike trail and biked for a couple HOURS! (The old me would've been done after the dunes- but this new me was ready to keep going!) It was just the best weekend. We did more biking and walking on Monday and then took the 4 hour drive home. We got to visit with Al's aunt, (We were staying on her property.) which was really cool because I actually like this aunt! She was diagnosed with lung cancer a couple years ago and it's been a hilly battle for her. She actually had a chemo treatment the weekend before we got there. She was really tired but since no one ever goes out there she seemed really happy to have us.

This morning I woke up early. I decided I'm going to train my dog, Jack, to run along side me. I see people do it all the time but my dogs- Yea right! So I figured I'd start with jack since he's the biggest and easiest to train. On a normal walk with my 3 dogs it's so stressful. They bark at everything and run in the opposite direction and it's just BAD. Well, I got Jack ready and we went out the door and who knew?? He's alreayd trained! He didn't bark once- ran right next to me at my pace- walked at me pace- never once jerked my arm or stopped for anything. He even SAT at the red light when I told him to! I was SHOCKED! All along I had a perfectly trained dog- I just didn't know it! My goal is to take Jack every other day and the days I don't take him- I'm going to take one of the other dogs. Heck- maybe they're all trained and I just never knew??? :laugh: :laugh:

I can't wait to weigh in Fri and see where I'm at. We def ate too much junk food last weekend- even with all the exercise!

We had our pictures taken yesterday and I love them all but here are a couple:

busymom74

yolie1220

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW I love them!

Thanks! I'm sooo glad we had them done. I didn't get pics like these with my first two children

busymom74

Aw! We got them done with El. Everyone gave us static saying stuff like "You only do pictures like that for your first." and such. I LOVE them. :bigsmile: We had them done at 3 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18, 24, and from now on it will be xmas and birthdays unless we have another. :laugh:

schlieffen

Hi JuneStarters...I'd like to be included in your group and chart. I joined last year and lost weight, but then I dropped out and the pounds found me. I sure felt better when I logged in my food and exercise! I'm ready to get back and do the work!

SW: 225

Shannah! I love your new pics too! I REALLY like the one with the heart in the clouds. Too cool!

shannahrenee

Thanks! My sister took those this past week. The cloud was actually shaped like that when we started which was pretty awesome. By the time we got situated some of it was gone and she had to touch it up a bit on the computer but I love it!

37 days!

busymom74

That's SOOO cool! lol I'll bet you're excited!! 37 days is SO close!!

busymom74

Does anyone know what week number this would be? lol We need people to weigh in for the Spreadsheet!

Also- Does anyone have their workout goals set?

And let's not forget to welcom jklm back!! :flowerforyou: I put you onto the ss. Have you already weighed in or not yet for this week? If so- what was last weeks weight so I can record your loss. :bigsmile:

jklm

Thanks for the welcome!

busymom74

I weighed in but I refuse to accept it. lol Try again next week!

thirtyby40

Thought I would check in but I am not weighing until Monday. It has been a brutal month, I have not worked out in 3 weeks, I have eaten out at least one meal daily and I have turned to comfort food. I weighed this morning and the scale was up 4 pounds but I will weigh in Monday for the official number. I am not going to stress about it too much but Monday is my kick off back to normal. I feel like crap!

Busymom - camping sounds awesome.

KJ- glad to see you are still kicking

Shanna- love the profile picture- I did not see the others

Yollie- love all the pictures

Jkim - welcome back, good to see you...great loss!
