    Well the girl that I was told to contact is a trainer that I dont particularly care for. I spoke to her a few time at the gym and she seems like this ditzy airhead that prances around in her tennis skirts...she was super flirty with all the guys in the competition and kind of standoffish to the girls. It made me mad...

    Anyway, Im not going to waste 3 FREE PT lessons because she's a dingdong! Hopefully my first few impressions of her were wrong and she will turn out to be cool (doubtful)

    Jess- I got my "push" when I went to a wedding expo this weekend and it was a nice reminder that I need to fit my butt into one of those dresses while 100 people stare at me...yahhhh....thatll light a fire under your *kitten* :grumble:

    :flowerforyou: Thanks Heather and Cris :flowerforyou:

    It's funny that I've tried my whole life not to be an ultra emotional girl (Thanks, Dad!) and here I am... emotional and girly just like the rest of us. It's high time I just accept the fact that I'm girly and be okay with it. haha.

    Julie - I wanted to mention that I liked your comment the other day about new habits becoming old habits! I am starting to see the changes in my "old habits" too.

    Can I just tell you all that I just went to the grocery and wore a pair of jeans (American Eagle 18s, too low rise) and found myself hiking them up every few steps? WOO! Can I also mention that just 6 weeks ago I couldn't even button said jeans? WOO!

    tstout-Great job on the pants!! And I'm with you ont he not beign girly and emotional. Thanks a lot Dad. But being sorta girly and emotional rubbed off on me through the years.

    Jess-That was the kick in the butt I needed! Well, my bridesmaid dress! Hope the PT is better then her first couple of first impressions.

    So I just finished entering my calories from yesterday and I was over but right at 2000 for the day. Which suprises me, I'm sure I forgot to add something but I'm happy that I'm not that far off. I was over by 500 but I figured it was WAY over. So I'm not feeling as defeated as I was earlier today. I'm just having such a hard time getting back into this. And I know the big problem came with not being able to log my food everyday. I started by writing it all down but that got old real fast, or I'd forget to part of it and then just stopped. Now I'm trying to start again....:indifferent: I'll get there. I am happy to have everyone to vent to and to read all your posts so that I can stay motivated, or at least try to get my motivation back. :flowerforyou:

    Hey girls

    Jess - WTG on doing c25k today..I know you could do it :smile:
    Cris - WTG on using your PT sessions..I know you will see that 170, i know you will.

    Julie - Glad after all the stuff this weekend, that you are still at a fabuouls weight!!

    Well I stayed home from work today. Serena came downstairs crying how she couldn't breathe and her throat hurt. Well then i figured it was day 5 , dr said that days 5-7 the scabs come off and can cause it to be very painful :sad:

    So i decided to stay home, we chilled in our bedroom for a while then she felt like she felt fine, so we went to the lbiary and then to blockbuster to get her a movie, we went to the libary walked around looking for a book for her, and she said her stomach hurt and just wants to lay down..she found a chair and laid down. We skipped blockbuster and just came home, she laid down and slept for several hours, she needed rest so i didn't want to wake her up, i finally did and she was in horrible pain, after 20 min of trying to ghet her to take her meds she did. She seems to be somewhat better now.

    My sister is supposed to come tomorrow so hopefully i will go back to work tomorrow.

    Good news...still seing a 25# THIS MORNIGN...woohoo...still in the 258's so that is good...

    Deb-You are my idol! :laugh: I am so awed by you. You've got an awesome outlook. But I'm happy for you for maintaining your 250's during Serena's recovery!

    So I just figured out the way to snap myself out of my funk from returning from vacation.....I went back and entered all my food from a week ago til now. I wrote everything down until tuesday, but after that I think there were 2 days I couldn't remember. My calories were out of control about 3000-3500 everyday :noway: :sad: All I can say is, if that is what I was eating when I was "conscious" of it and making better decisions, then what the Hell was I eating before when I didn't give a rat's pa-toot!?!

    So anyway, I am now thoroughly snapped back to normal. It was SOOO tedious I am just irritated now. I figure, if I didn't do this then I could "forget" and then it may take me a couple more days to get back on track completely. So now I am holding myself accountable for all my decisions while camping.

    Now I'm gonna go and enter my excercise! :bigsmile: That may make me feel a little better afterwards!

    Well I just entered my activity while camping, and it was better. Climbing that sand dune and swimming everyday helped. But it was still bad. Everyday still had that *if every day were like today you'd weigh....* anyway it was a gain with everyday.

    ...ok enough monopolizing the board...I'm going to go eat my supper now since I was to preoccupied with this stuff. :ohwell:

    Blue, I wish we could have gotten together so I could give you a big hug and rejoice with you - CANCER FREE!!! YEAH!!!

    I just got in from the airport and am back in New York. I was little hungry so I decided to make a tiny quesadilla - we have these great corn tortillas (small taco size) that are like 45 cals each. I put a little shredded cheese on and figured I would have a tasty little snack. Well, I burned my hand taking that dang thing out of the microwave and my left hand is THROBBING! I guess this is what I get for trying to have a late night snack!

    Checking for today:
    Cals - Under, using exercise cals. I love writing under.
    Water - 80 oz
    Exercise - 90 min hot yoga class this morning
    Proud - That I did not gorge myself on the flight like I did last week. I resisted the urge for potato chips and stuck with my Mentos (10 cals each....pack = 110! not too shabby!) for my snacking fix. I'm also really proud that I exercised every day of the vacation that that is makes me an inspiration to Cris. :bigsmile: :blushing: :bigsmile:

    Back to reality tomorrow...

    Myworld, glad you’re slowly coming out of your funk. All I can say is don’t overwhelm yourself with too much at once. Start with logging you food for the day for a week then introduce exercise into your routine..then it will be second nature to you. It is very difficult to get back to the swing of things after a vacation..however, the good thing is you didn’t give up. You came back:flowerforyou:

    Blue, That’s Amazing news!!! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU:heart::drinker:

    Meokk, hoping things calm down at work so you can come back.. miss you girl :)

    Cris, all I can say is your still an amazing person:flowerforyou: whether you succeeded with week 9 or not..at least you TRIED/attempted and that is all that matters. I know you will do week 9 with flying color..knock it out of the ball park! You can do it – have faith in yourself =)

    Jess, You Rock! Congrats to completing d2 of week9!:flowerforyou:

    Juile, love your motto..glad you came home safely

    Raiderape, we all go over so don’t worry..today is a new day. I know you can do this!!

    Elmox, welcome home! way to go on not over doing it @ the airport..but poor thing burning your hand..hope it doesn’t look bad:flowerforyou:

    Mekhala, wow, being under calories 2 day in a row..you go girl!


    As for me, I have not been on my execise rountine in quite a while..I have been tring to get things set up before the new furniture comes on Monday. I have execise on my mind but by the time I have time to do it - I am very tired of cleaning.

    I am tring to do all of this and by the end of next week Ramadan will begin and well I know I won't be physically active, as I use to be, I was over on calories Monday and Tuesday...I had ice cream cone as a reward for cleaning. I have to stop rewarding myself with food..ok enough rambling..

    Blue -- That is AWESOME news! I'm so happy for you!

    I had a blah day yesterday. I went home early from work because.... well because I was exhausted from all the travelling and I hate my job. :tongue:

    I pretty much ate whatever I wanted but luckily for me my portion sizes are under control so I ended up at about 1600 cals for the day. I've noticed when I let myself eat whatever and stay somewhat mindful of healthier options and appropriate portion sizes, I end up eating around 1600 cals every time. It just so happens that 1600 calories should be close to my current BMR (I'm sure it's not really because I'm pretty convinced my metabolism is screwed right now) and should be around my maintenance calories when I'm at my goal weight.

    I'm doing a great job of maintaining 195 pounds. Unfortunately, that's not really what I want to do. :laugh: I'm going to take a breather for the rest of the week since I'm so tired. I'm going to eat well and not worry about the gym so much until Saturday.
