I was suppose to get up at 6 am but instead woke up at 4 and couldn't go back to sleep. I am doing laundry, did sit-ups and a plank (yeah, just one :laugh: ) and am just doing odds and ends around here. Today I go to work for my scheduled 5 hours except I am getting off early because I was suppose to take dh to the doctor for a minor thing and he was going to need a driver but he cancelled it.
I have a loss this morning in the scale department so I am back to 160 lbs. That makes me happy but I always get hung up right around here and quit. I am really going to stay on track this time.
I have an appt for my IUD to be removed on the 1st of December but am going to see if I can get in earlier. I swear that thing plays crazy with my hormones. This is my 2nd one and the first one wasn't like this.
It finally quit raining here at least for a little while, hopefully long enoung for me to go feed the animals. Have a terrific day everyone!0 -
Not even sure right now about my calorie burn last week. Grrr. I did finally get back down to 159 so that was a yay.
The booth was ok. Except that it was raining the entire time. Not many people showed up, but I did get some good interest from the people there. The firefighters were particularly nice to talk to about it.
I didn't have an E-Z UP, so I had to borrow one from my father-in-law. It was that bad.
Amanda, I kept waking up through the night and looking at the clock to see if it was time to get up. Hubby and I are committed to working out in the morning again, so we did it today. Yay! It was so much nicer to do so and be done by 7.
It has been a weekend.... Gabriel has been pooping like 5 times a day. Yuck! It's been over everywhere! Then last night when I got to the building that we work out in at church, there were puddles on the floor (thank goodness it was just around the perimeter) from the rain leaking in. And then this morning, to top it off, hubby found out that one of his good friends died last night in a motorcycle accident.
He was just 31 and it's the 3rd friend that my husband has lost in the past few years (2 of them were motorcycle accidents, grrrr).
Hope you guys are having a better start of the week.0 -
Amanda - you might not have hit the goal, but anything is better than nothing, so nice work!! At least you were productive with your extra time, usually when I get up too early by mistake I sit around and grumble about it and am still running late when it's time to leave :laugh:
Lisa - That sucks the weather wasn't nicer for you guys! Thats sounds like one heck of a weekend, it can only get better from here, right? Sorry about your hubby's friend :flowerforyou:
Not bad for a Monday here, but fall has decided to finally arrive. We were in the 60's-70's over the weekend and now it's cold (40's) and raining. There was some snow earlier in the day, but it's turned to rain now. Supposed to stay wet through Wednesday but the cold will be here to stay. Luckily we got our family pictures done yesterday - now I just hope they all turn out!0 -
Hey! I'm back...
Amanda - Nice hike! We're lucky to live so close to places like Zion where we can see increadible views and try different trails. Hey, planks are hard! I can't even do one!
Cori - Glad your pictures turned out. I'd love to get some taken of our family, but they're so expensive!
Lisa - Journey's been a pooping machine lately too. Hubby's kind of worried about her. She had like five in one day, and two last night that I had to change at 1am and 4am. That's crazy for her! I'm sorry about your husband's friends. That's never an easy thing to deal with. Frustrating, too, in some ways. I did hear from the nursing program. All of the applicants that were given first pick turned in their commitment papers. There's still a chance that someone might drop out last minute, or not turn their paperwork in by the due date in December, but the odds of having five people do that is slim. So far, no one has moved up on the alternate list, and I doubt enough will to get me in. Next semester I'll retake physiology (my lowest grade) to boost my GPA and apply again for Fall.
I had a few days where I was eating really poorly and going over my calories pretty consistently, but I'm back on track now. I'm considering skipping my chemistry lab tonight so I can go home and have some "me" time. Or study for my chemistry lecture exam! It's on Friday and I'm not even close to being ready.
I am kicking *kitten* on the water front, though. I've been getting my eight glasses a day this week!0 -
Where or where has this group gone??
I have been having an awful week, have to get back on it starting right now!!!0 -
I'm here - it's been a crazy week, everything coming up all at once. Will check in tomorrow!0
-
Feeling much better today - my food choices have been good and got a 3 mile walk in with my mom. I pushed the youngest in her big stroller. I am feeling much more confident today.
Hope everybody is having a great Saturday!0 -
Nice work Amanda!
Well, here's my weekly check-in:
Last Week Weight: 205.4
Calories to Burn: 4,108
Actual Calories Burned: 2,406
Current Week Weight: 203.2
Calories to Burn: 4,064
I didn't hit my goal this week, but I think I've figured out I need to start eating some of my exercise calories. Because of schedule I didn't get to workout a couple days last week and the next mornings I would be down a little. On most of the days I did workout, the next morning I was usually even or down a very small amount. I knew at some point I'd ave to start eating them - guess I'll start adding some in slowly so my body doesn't freak out!0 -
LISA!!! I got a Body Bugg and it won't flipping register! I can't activate it if I can't register it, and I can't use it until it's activated! Did you have any trouble with yours? I'm so frustrated!0
-
Wow - our little group has gotten quiet. Hope everything is okay with all you ladies!
Kaitlyn - Did you get your BodyBugg registered? How frustrating to have it but not be able to use it.
It's been a hectic couple weeks here. Tests at school, budgets due at work, my youngest 2 had a birthday yesterday - whew! I'm on vacation the 23rd-30th and I'm really looking forward to it! My weight loss had stalled a little for a couple weeks, but I think my body is getting a second wind. I've got my fingers crossed, I may actually be in the 100's for this weeks weigh in. I can't remember the last time I could say that - but it's been awhile!0 -
Hi Ladies! I posted last week and it never posted and I was friggin' frustrated! I have been dealing with some emotions with the death of hubby's friend as well as just trying to get some non-computer things done. LOL Shocking, I know! I have been doing some crafts, made a Christmas Advent calendar and have been doing Thanksgiving crafts with the boys. I have missed every single one of you though!
Kaitlyn - what operating system are you using and what browser? I have a MacBook and was trying to register it using Firefox and I can't! I have to use Safari. I don't think Firefox is supported by the apex website, so try using IE or Safari if you have a Mac like me. I hope you like it! A bit early for Christmas, no?
I have not been tracking my food like I need to. I have been getting in my water though and trying to make good choices as far as eating goes. Last week we missed most of our workouts and even missed the first 2 of this week. Our bodies needed physical, emotional, and mental rest. I definitely could feel the difference though and am glad to be working out again (and early in the morning to boot!). I will pre-plan my food for tomorrow and get it all situated. No gain in the weight department, but it's time to stop lollygagging and just get back to losing! I don't know why when I start to get close to goal I kind of hit the brakes. I'm not gonna do that this time!
See you in the morning. I need you ladies and I will be back on here posting. Have a great night 0 -
OK! I am all moved in, unpacked and ready to reconnect:flowerforyou:
I have barely been exercising...but also barely sitting while unpacking and chasing my toddler inside, outside, repeat! My youngest is doing his version of crawling and so the house has been crazy!
I gained a little wieght during this time...but only 2 pounds...hopefully that will come right off in the next couple of days as I regroup and start planning and recording meals. Oh...and exercising again! I did however manage to squeeze in a 5K on the 13th which I was able to run the whole thing in a time of 27:47 (HOORAY)!
Read back a little ways in the group...hope everyone had a great weekend, and has a great rest of the week!0 -
Been gone a couple of days, big windstorm with gusts up to 80 miles per hour went through, broke lots of BIG trees around here, knocked out power and internet for 48 hours and so forth. I have been really slacking on both the food and the exercise. I have to get back on the band wagon. I am going to do my best to Thanksgiving. That is a week and a short goal for me.
Happy Friday Everyone!0 -
Okay ladies - I am over the moon excited and just had to share. I weighed in under 200 lbs this morning!! I can't even remember the last time I could say that. I'm going to be smiling like an idiot all day :bigsmile: :laugh:0

Great job!! :flowerforyou: Congratulations! Have a great weekend!0 -
JP - congrats on your time! And getting all moved in. I am sure those 2 lbs will come off soon too.
Amanda - I think we all have the goal of trying to make it through Thanksgiving! LOL That was some fierce wind!
Cori - Woohoo!!!!!! You rock it, mama. So proud of you.
Kaitlyn - hoping to hear from you that you got your BB registered.
I did Turbo Jam Cardio Party last night for the first time and LOL. Chalene kicked my butt! She goes pretty fast and I was not used to the moves at all, so it took a bit of time to get it down. Still doing the Fit Club, but looking at moving it to a different place since the building at church is leaking and it's supposed to be a nasty La Nina winter here.
Have a great day, ladies! It's Friday. Woohoo! Time to go shopping for my Thanksgiving food. My brothers are driving from AZ and I cannot wait to see them. 0 -
Thanks ladies!!
Amanda - That's some serious wind! We're dealing with the wind here today, bug storm is supposed to be blowing in. I'm nervous for Thanksgiving - I think I'll be satisfied with maintaining. You'll do great!
JP - Glad to ear you're getting settled. I've always the feeling of a clean start after you move - everything in it's place and a cange in scene to shake things up. Once you get time I'm sure those 2 lbs will fall right off! Awesome work on the 5K!! I've tried a little jogging, my shins are still screaming at me! My hats of to anyone who runs, don't know if I'll ever be there.
Lisa - Nice to hear of a workout kicking your butt
I had a question on the Beachbody coach thing. When you order products are you automatically assigned a coach? Do you get to pick? I think I'm going to try Power 90 - that'll be my birthday present to myself in January. I should be "overweight" by then and want to step up the strengt training and start toning up some muscles. Thanks in advance for any info!
We're getting ready for a birthday party we're aving tomorrow for my 2 youngest. Finally starting some Christmas shopping, feels like it's coming to fast. Hope everyone has a great weekend!0 -

I have also started Christmas shopping, it seems like the new year will be here before I know it. December 28 is the two year anniversary since I started my MFP and hope to be able to say I have lost 25 pounds in that time. Right now it is not looking so good unless I get my butt in gear!0 -
Cori - it's better if you sign up for a free account on Team Beachbody first under the coach that you want (when you sign up, they will assign you one or you can choose your own). Then, through that you can order. It's just easier that way and you can set up Power 90 as your program and it will autoschedule your workouts for you in the WOWY Supergym to keep you on track (I love that thing!). I think you'll do awesome.
Amanda - I agree on all counts. The new year is coming way too soon and I also need to get my butt in gear.
It's Sunday and I need to calculate my calorie burn this week. Unfortunately, I think I am really low again. We have 2 more weekends left to use our passes to Gilroy Gardens and I think we may go this weekend even though there's rain in the forecast. At least I will get some walking in today then. Have a great Sunday ladies. I am looking forward to this week. It'll be a great break for me, no teaching and hubby doesn't have work and it's Thanksgiving! 0 -
Late check in for my calories burned last week
Last Week Weight: 203.2
Calories to Burn: 4,064
Actual Burned: 3,215
Current Weight: 199.6
Calories to burn: 3,992
Didn't get much exercise in this weekend. The kids had some birthday parties and then we were cleaning the house for a party here today. When I get started I got a little nuts and ended up gutting, scrubbing, and reorganzing my kitchen, the toy room, and the girls' bedroom.
I'm on vacation for a week after tomorrow so I'm hoping to get in some good workouts while I have the extra time. The weather is supposed to be cold (high of 20 on Thanksgiving) so I'll be working out indoors though.0 -
Can I join in?
My name is Kelly and I am other of 2 beautiful children! My daughter, Peyton is 2 and my son Carter is 3. They are 17m apart and were both born via cesaeran....ever since....my body has NOT been the same! I always jokingly say "good thing they are cute!" LOL!
I did good during my pregnancies not gaining much weight. I gained 23.5 with my son and 22.5 with my daughter. I ate so well I think I actually lost some weight as I was gaining baby! When I first got preg I weighed 209. Ironically, I weighed the same when I started MFP a month a half ago. I am currently at 193.5!
I am glad to find a place where other mommies can relate!!0 -
kmard - Absolutely! Welcome to the group! :flowerforyou: I can sympathize on the c-sections, I had 3 in four years, and from the belly button down I'm just a hot mess :laugh: Looks like you're off to a great start - keep up the good work!0

Hey ladies - I hope you're all enjoying the holiday weekend! I've been on vacation since Tuesday, and it's been a hectic week. Running errands, cleaning the house, and getting ready for the holidays has kept me hopping. Not much time to get workouts in, but I feel like I'm still doing okay since I've been moving all day.
Had a great Thanksgiving at my mom's house. I enjoyed all the goodies and didn't log any of it (gasp). It felt great not to worry about what I was eating. I know I was over, but since starting in July it was the first time I was over my calorie goal so I'm A-okay with it, lol. Only downside was TOM decided to show up for the holiday, so between that and the extra salt I'm not used to my weight was up a little this morning. I'm sure when TOM is gone and my schedule isn't so crazy I'll be back on track.
Today was Christmas tree day. We always cut down a tree the day after Thanksgiving and then get it all up and decorated. Other than lights and the angel on top the kids decorated the whole thing my themselves - all 11 feet of it! Unfortunately it lasted about 10 minutes and the dog tipped it over trying to drink the water out of the tree stand :mad: The kids were great sports and re-decorated the whole thing, I think it was even better the second time, practice makes perfect I guess, lol. Tomorrow it's on to the outside lights - I love Christmas lights! Got some new additions this year and I'm excited to see everything come together.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone!0 -

HI and welcome! :flowerforyou:
I haven't been posting on here as much as I should but life is busy. Okay that is a lie:laugh: I am doing really sucky right now with my eating and exercise and so I am ashamed of that. :grumble:0 -
Hi Ladies! Why is it so hard to get a bit of time to come in here? Argh. I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving. I am thankful that all of our leftovers are gone! My brothers didn't end up making it, so I had a lot of food left.
Kelly - welcome! I hate C-sections. I am just now getting rid of the pooch from my C-section 9 years ago! I did have a baby 3 years ago too, but I fought long and hard to have him VBAC. LOL
Cori - sounds like your kids were good sports with the dog tipping over the tree. We don't have ours up yet. I made an advent calendar this year and the first day (tomorrow) is to put some decorations up. We'll probably get the tree up then. Love love love seeing you in the Onederland!
Hubby and I are going to start a new exercise program the beginning of the year. I love P90X, but we need a break from it for a bit. We have had a hard time working out lately. My back has been hurting and his Achilles is aching. What a lovely pair we are! Anyway, we are talking about ordering Chalean Extreme and doing that one. I am excited! Between Thanksgiving and aching, I gained a couple of pounds. Need to get those off though, I am thinking that it is a bit of water weight since Tday was so salty! 0 -
LIsa - that's too bad your brothers didn't make it for Thanksgiving, but at least the leftovers are gone, lol. We went to my mom's, so no leftovers here. I'm sure you guys will rock Chalean Extreme - and a change of pace might be just the trick. Hope your injuries feel better soon.
Today was my first day back to work after being off for a week. It was tough getting back to the swing of things, I was used to mommy mode, lol. Good news is I work for 3 weeks and then I'm on vacation for another 2 weeks for Christmas. Gotta love paid time off!
Hope everyone is doing well!0 -
Oh Cori, that's a great vacation! I think CE will be great too. I'm substituting a bit of woodworking for some of my workouts. LOL It's a bit of work hammering and drilling and putting things together.0
-
:chirp: Crickets!
Challenge check-in, only 19 more days!: I don't know my weight Hubby took the scale with him.
Calories burned: 2718
Calories needed: 3250
I'm going to go with the same amount of calories needed to burn this week. Hopefully I'll make it. I hurt my hand building a bookcase last week and rubbed the skin off while manually screwing in my 2" screws. I worked out last night, but I have to focus on cardio instead of weights since I can't really grip onto my weights right now (my wound is on the palm).
I hope you ladies are doing well.0 -
Last Weeks Weight: 199.6
Calories to Burn: 3,992
Actual Calories: 3,541
Current Week Weight: 193
Calories to Burn: 3,860
Didn't hit my goal for last week, but I had a few days of no "official" workouts since I was hanging Christmas lights and cleaning. Must have still burned some though (and gotten rid of the water weight left from Thanksgiving) since I dropped almost 7 lbs.
I can't believe how close Christmas is! Eek! I still have so much to get for the kids, not to mention ordering family pictures for everyone. Luckily I have a final this week and then school is out of the way for the rest of the year and hopefully I can get caught up.
Lisa - Ouch! Hand wounds are the worst because it's so hard to keep from using your hand and mkaing it take longer to heal, Hope it heals up quickly for you.0
