Fit For Future Families 2

I didn't end up doing my turbo jam, I can't find it, lol. That's how long it has been since I've done it! But on a whim I decided to sign up at Curves, so my first workout is tonight at 6.

So we cut our trip short and came back last night. AC isn't really much fun if you're not a drinker or a gambler, and there's only so much you can do on the boardwalk when it's pouring rain. (Plus my father-in-law snores like a freight train, so we got zero sleep).:ohwell: DH finally said we couldn't do another sleepless night so we left. I feel bad, but neither of us are good people to be around on no sleep so it was probably best. My in-laws will be there until Saturday so I have some time to get my house back in order and really step up the exercise before they come back. I don't feel comfortable working out in the living room when they're here. I was doing a lot of running last week before we left but I feel like I get a better workout with my DVD's.

I weighed in this morning and was the same as last week. I was sure I'd gain because we ate out every day in AC but I guess all the walking helped to even it out. This week I want to drink 10 - 12 glasses of water and do something active every day. I'm determined that the scale will have a lower number next Monday. I'm come so far that I've been letting myself slip back into old habits with food lately. I tell myself, "I've lost over 40 pounds one piece of chocolate won't kill me" but that one piece leads to another and another.....I need to knock it off!

DH and I tried to get a jog in between all the storms we're having. Of course as soon as we got about 1/2 way it starts to POUR. It's much harder to jog when you're soaking wet. :laugh: I thought I was going to die, but we made it.

Not trying to be argumentative but if TTC questions are asked, shouldn't people answer them? I think that's all that was happening. I will leave the thread as I am one of the main offenders. I was trying to respond equally to those comments on weight loss as well. So I wasn't trying to rock the boat, but I have knowledge and want to share it when people need it. I hope your other members come back. Good luck everyone.

I'm not offended so please don't think that. I just don't want to be the newbie who make established members leave. I know how frustrating that is. I have a great group of women on another site for ttc support and another great group of ladies here for the healthy lifestyle. So I will be fine and your other members may be more willing to come back if I'm not posting here. I'm not going to be able to restrain myself from ttc topics because that's more important to me than the 6 vanity pounds I want to lose so this is probably not the appropriate place for me afterall. No big deal and no hard feelings on my end.

Oops, I was also under the wrong impression about the purpose of the thread. I'm sorry if I offended anyone with my TTC posts! :flowerforyou: I joined a TTC/pregnancy forum (BabyandBump.com) earlier today so I can post my TTC business in a more appropriate place. :embarassed: And I've been part of a wonderful weight loss support thread on MFP for over a year so I'll just stick with them about that stuff. Again, my apologies!

Whoa - have a day full of meetings and miss a whole bunch apparently.

NOBODY MOVE!!!! :smokin: (probably not very appropriate for this site) :flowerforyou:

Jalara's intention wasn't to kick anyone out, or to stop any particular conversation.
I think it's great when you guys talk about your experiences with Oing, Temping, etc. However, we should all still be reminded that we need to maintain a healthy lifesyle. Heck, we can be stuffing our faces with ice cream and still trying to TTC "healthy" right?
I know for me, I've had a hard time "fitting in" because like Alisa I'm not actively TTC and I didn't feel like I could contribute to the group unless I was, so I became the silent observer to see if anyone has become successful in their efforts.

I believe everyone should stick around and should try to help each other in any way possible, but please know that we all have the same goal......we need to be healthy TTC'ers.

I think that it is important to remember that just because your arent "actively TTC" right now, that doesnt mean that when you are you wont have a hard time getting pregnant. I think that it is so important to be aware of the possibilities. So the way i see it is all the education i can get will only benefit me wether it be about weight loss or TTC. I think if you have something to post about weight loss then post it and if no one responds then better luck next time. If you have something to post about TTC then you should post and if no on replies well then things happen.
