Need to Lose 100 LBS -Robins Thread !

@robin - I've decided that I'm only counting what I intentionally exercise which is either with my phone running app or at the gym. I don't chew gum either, I don't like gum for some odd reason.


June goal = 50 miles

6/1- 0
6/2- 0
6/3- 0
6/4- 2.55 (ran outside on trails & dirt)

Good morning all.

Kelley- Best wishes for that thumb!



World Environment Day focuses attention on important environmental issues. According to the United Nations "World Environment Day is commemorated each year on June 5th. It is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action."

My peas are not doing well, I did replant some and they are coming up but it might be too late and getting to hot for them. We will see. Tomatoes are about 6-8 inches and look good. Squash is nice and green and growing. Peppers are looking good but still small. I guess i should try some plant food and water more consistently.

Good Afternoon Everyone!

The clouds are finally parting here in my spot of the world and it’s looking like a Beautiful Thursday out there! This week and next week are all mucked up for me schedule wise so I may be a little scarce. June is my float month at work and they “floated” me off my regular schedule two weeks straight. I think everyone wanted to take vacation these two weeks this year. LOL!

Thursday Truth – I’ve been eating cake all week since Saturday! I have not been able to keep myself from picking at the danged thing! It was Huge and It’s just sitting there in the fridge calling to me… Stupid Cake! I’m sure some it has been stress eating too. It’s been a difficult week and I’m seriously thinking about checking into some counseling through my job. We can have a certain number of sessions free of charge, and maybe I/we can learn some new ways of dealing with our stress issues. Lord knows we both could use it!

Went up to Mama’s, and the floor remained dry the two days I was up there. I have no idea what’s going on with that, but hopefully it righted itself for now. She’s still waiting on the plumber to check it out though. I’ll update if anything comes of it.

@ Ferfilia – “My Edward is a Psychopath with a flame thrower!” I LOVE the Anita Blake series! The last one of those I read was Skin Trade. Also, if you’ve not read them already, check out Kim Harrison’s Hollows series (they start with Dead Witch Walking). I’ll have to look for the Sherrilyn Kenyon books. Thanks!

WELCOME NEW FOLKS! I’ll try to get caught up and do more personals later!

Have a Great Thursday Y’all!

Thursday Truth-
Some days, my family drives me up the freaking wall. First, they want me to cook. Then, they go out and bring home KFC instead. THEN, they get cranky because I won't eat any of the fast food. It's nothing personal, I just want to stay in line with my calorie goal for the day, but they don't seem to understand that. My days of having more than a couple bites of fast food are OVER. I wish they'd let that sink in.

Ok ladies I have two questions

1 - Can I get in on this monthly mileage even though it is the 5th of the month
2- Can I get some friends for motivation please

Thanks

Chelbi

Kaye- Congratulations on signing up for your first 5K and yes it should be story.

Robin- Check out the lakes around you, they may rent kayaks there. I rent a kayak for an hour or so. Cost is between $15 and $20 an hour where I live. Renting means they will help you get into the water safely and you don’t have to transport the kayaks so it is a time saver. Sorry about the water getting in threw the window but that was some storm. Glad you missed the hail and great news about getting off 4 meds.

Ranaejae- You are worthy and welcome to the group and our challenge. You will do great. We are a small but vocal group so jump on in and get to know us-we don’t bite. The thread moves quickly at some points so don’t feel obligated to do personals, you can just post or BUMP to save your space.

L2T-Thank you for changing it back. So happy that your cold is almost gone.

Painted- I am not a fan of gum either. I can chew a piece for about 5 minutes then I am done.

Aimmee- I love seeing the mileage you rack up on your bike rides. Where do you ride?

RobinB- I don’t mind if you update weekly or daily or in blocks of days. I do my best to check it daily and record the miles. So you if you happen to think about it just update your miles when you log on in the evening or throughout the day.

Susan- Have a safe trip back to Vegas.

Ms. Frizz- Avoiding fast food is a challenge but you can do it. Teach them to bring home healthier choices if they insist on getting fast food- grilled chicken over fried, Continue to cook your own food. They will get the picture sooner or later.

Chelibi- Yes you can still get in on the challenge- just post your mileage goal and then the number of miles per day, rest days just put 0. Friends- I am sure some people will friend you, I will respond to people on her faster than I do on the new feed. So don’t feel slighted if I don’t friend you, I will respond on this thread.


I think I am overly tired so that is part of why I am getting sick. Therefore, I will go to sleep earlier tonight. I am still dealing with the sinus issues. I was hoping to get an antibiotic today but it didn’t workout. My doctor was suppose to call in a prescription but he did not do it so frustrating. May try again tomorrow but may go somewhere else if needed. He could have had his secretary call and say that he was not going to call in the prescription. I even wanted to set up an appointment but she suggested this option.
I just hope I feel better tomorrow.

Keep up with the good job on the mileage. We are already kicking butt in this challenge.
