bumping for later

The list of weights is a lot of fun... I will have to remember that when I am on the loss bandwagon again. The sad thing is that I have gained a bald eagle since I was pregnant. I'll have to work on that!

I got a pineappple, grapes, granny smith apples, pomegranets, bananas, tomatoes, parsnips, yams, lettuce spinach and broccoli. All yummy. I have been eating grapes all day. I had a great time helping out and getting my stuff and I am sure I will do it again next week. :bigsmile:

Just popping in to say hi. Hope you are all having a good weekend. I need to go read my Sunday School lesson before bed. Goodnight!

Hi all...I've been MIA for a few days. My computer crashed on me again. That makes it really hard for me to get my typing done. No typing = no paycheck My hubby had to strip it back down and reinstall all the stuff again. He worked on it over 12 hours yesterday. I have been stressing over it and have been eating everything that is not nailed down. I am really fighting the urge to snack constantly. I am one week away from TOM so maybe that is part of it. My goals this week are to make it to my class all four days. I missed two last week while they were putting on the roof. I was the cook/errand girl. But it is done now and that can no longer be an excuse. My calorie goal dropped down as my weight did so I am also trying to eat about 80 cals less per day. My goal is to lose an automobile tire so I better get busy! Hope you all have a great week.

Tammy try drinking a glass of water and chewing some gum. There are some new flavors out for extra--dessert sensations. I tried the mint chocolate chip and it was just like eating the ice cream, except not cold and creamy. That helps me...

I am having fun trying to find ways to eat all my fruit and vegies. I made pizza last night with spinach and tomatoes on it--boy it was tasty, I also cut up the broccoli and had it with some ranch mixed with greek yogurt. Yummy! I am going to keep this up!

Did W1D1 today need to push myself a little more but it was early, but atleast I got out and did it. Will do something tomorrow so I can keep my motivation going. I hope I can start seeing some loss soon. Need more water in my diet.

I went to Zaxbys today to grab a quick snack and half way into my onion rings and pickles I started feeling sick so I know my body isn't responding to the grease well so no more deep fried things for me I learned my lesson:drinker:

Hey Blues:

Sorry I've been mia. I have a busy week this week at school. I have to not get back into the habit of eating when I'm studying and stressed.

Smadag1 - I love zumba. I find that if you like dance, you will enjoy it. It may be a little difficult to keep up with and learn all the moves at once but if you hit the point where you can follow along more, it really increases the enjoyment of the exercise. I found that the hour that the class was didn't seem like an hour after the first week. Now that I've been talking about it, I feel like I should go back and do it again. I hope you enjoy it

Just dropping in for a quick hello. I went back to my bootcamp class yesterday and can really tell that I have missed. I am so sore today I can barely lift my arms, which is bad since I type for a living. I was glad to get back on the wagon again though. My weight is already coming down again. The class makes such a big difference for me. We will go through Thanksgiving and take a short break and start again in January. Some of the ladies will meet during our break so we can get in a class about three days a week if we want to. It is rainy here again so no painting shutters and doors for me. If you need it to rain at your house just buy some painting supplies lol. Hope you all have a good day.
