T.H.E (Trying Hard Everyday) Team.... Starting again

arghhhhhhhhhh! ok... so let me try this again!
I had a nice long post all typed out.... TWICE... and accidently hit the backspace button twice. Poof... it was gone...:sad:

Anyway...

Bee have fun on your trip... will look forward to seeing you join us when you get back!!

Anita....you are my soul sister I swear.. LOL... we both seem to have the same struggles when it comes to being on track at the same time!! :0) Now... go get yer butt on the scale. You cant be worst than me... I'm up 16lbs!! ack! :noway:

To everyone else..... Welcome!!!
You dont really have to do anything to join us except join in! Let us know a little about you. What are your goals? Have any questions? Whats frustrating you or making you feel accomplished today??

For me... My name is Cyndi, Im 37 years old and weighing in at 228lbs. I got down to 212 last summer and maintained for a while, then slowly started packing it back on. Im ready to take it off again PLUS SOME! I post a lot on here and share alot of recipes on facebook. If you'd like to friend request me there, you can find me as LosingIt4Good over there also. :bigsmile:

Gonna definitely make it a priority to post DAILY to the board. I have MFP on my iphone also so I can log from there but it definitely seems to keep me motivated when I have others to talk to that are doing what Im doing.

Im a walker/ wogger and will be starting round 1 of Jillian's 30 day shred next week! ;0) Im excited!! :drinker:

I would love to join also I am having a bad time keeping myself motivated and on track

Welcome! Glad to have ya join us!! ;0)
What do you like to do for exercise??

I would love to join. I am new to MFP and have been searching around trying to find a group. Most of them have been going for a while, so this "starting again" sounds like a good one for me to choose. I also try hard every day!

Welcome aboard!! Happy to have you join us! :happy:

Welcome back Pro, JJ and welcome aboard to the new folks as well.

JJ... I think for me.. right now my challenge is planning my menu and logging my food each day. I am fine in getting in my exercise, but I am really struggling with logging food for some reason and its been the reason I have fallen off and gained back what I did. I did get my menu planning done for the next 4 days and am heading out the door to stock up on a couple things. Ive figured out if I automate my meals and have a plan it makes a HUGE difference. Plus, I actually eat breakfast since its in my plan.. LOL

Got another 3 mile walk in this morning. I was still sore this morning but felt great after I was done. My ankles hurt but its tollerable. I know another couple days and I'll be fine. Just gotta get thru this first week.

I think this week will just be getting back into the swing of things, then we can start throwing out some challenges. Im getting used to drinking water all over again and for me, thats challenging enough. I need a new water bottle so Im gonna pick one up today while Im running errands.

HYeliab... what type of motorcycle do you have? :0)

Today was a good day since I was able to pass up some goodies. You see, the last few weeks I haven't been able to say NO! So many good things that are bad for me! I came home from work and was hungry and tired, but took the time to make something that is good for me. Hubby working late, so I was on my own. Sometimes that makes it very easy to go off track! The only ones monitoring me are the dogs, and well.....they just don't care what I eat as long as they get a taste! Hope everyone had a good day.

Boy do I know how easy it is to go off track when you are on your own. This last summer was a nightmare. Hubby would leave for 2 weeks on a business trip and my kids would go to their dads for a week. I kept telling Diego (my doxie) that he should not let me eat anything bad but the only thing he snitched from me was 1/2 of a rootbeer float one night when I got up to go potty during my movie.... :laugh: :laugh: I'm perfectly fine if I have a friend over or if the kids are here, but once Im left alone... its eat, eat, eat. I'll definitely have to plan better for the next time they are gone.

Kalt- I have a friend that LOVES zumba and has been trying to get me to go with him for months. Im just not coordinated enough to do aerobics or dance. I hear its an awesome workout tho and he burns alot of calories doing it. If ya like it, great! Whatever works to burn those calories will only add to your success at the end of the week!

I had a great morning then my afternoon went to hell. My iPhone was stolen during my grocery shopping trip and I was only 1/2 way thru shopping off my list in my phone. Talk about being mad. I called the cops and we are tracking it with GPS thru AT&T and looked at store surveillance, but the jerks are keeping the phone turned off, so its a luck of the draw trying to catch them with the phone on to get them with the GPS feature. I hate stress! Luckily I've been able to steer clear of eating anything that wasnt on my plan for the day. Even had 600 some calories left over, so I had some good ole chocolate milk to settle my stomach. Hopefully tomorrow will yield some results in catching them. Boy are they gonna be sorry they messed with me!

In the mean time, Im up early to go for another 3 mile walk... then have an appointment at noon, so I prolly wont check in again until tomorrow afternoon.

Cio!

Also, I changed my ticker back to what it was at my starting weight in Jan 2009. I had changed it to a new goal, but I think this will motivate me even more.
