Back To basic

Good morning ladies. Happy Friday. I had a good weigh in today. I was down 3.5 pounds. Yippee! The scale is my friend again...finally.

Tamara - I am sending tons of love to you today. You will get through today. Stick to the plan and text or call me if you need. i am here for you. Great job on the weigh in today. I knew you would get it to show a loss. We definitely have control.

Amber - Thank you for giving Tamara a hug from me. i am really proud of you for sticking with us and having another great loss. That is so awesome. i miss you too my friend. You will get to the 100 pound mark. I know that you can do it.

Kerry - I hope you feel better. I am sure once you are able to get moving again that you will have a loss next Friday.

I am excited to see how everyone did this week. Good lukc with the weigh ins today!

I am up and at it this morning. I need to clean up the kitchen and then do the bills and check book. After that, I need to get my workout in. Tonight the hubby is taking me to my first hockey game. A couple of his shipmates are going too. I think we are going to try Cracker Barrel for dinner tonight. It is different in the north vs the south. We have not had it since we moved up here and I hope it is yummy. I am really excited about tonight. I have gotten to experience so many new things since moving to the north. Life is amazing right now.

Have a fantastic day everyone. I cannot wait to see how everyone did on thier weigh-ins. Good luck all.

thanx for the words marcie you made me smile

Apparently Ive gained 2 lbs somwhere ( might be from TOM but o well. Gonna kick it into high gear now! My net was off yesterday so got alot of school work to catch my daughter up on and get ready to go shopping when DH gets home so Im not sure about a work out. Maybe tonight while watching super nanny. I just see better results working out during the day then night but nighttime is better then nothing right? I just want the stupid snow to stop so we can go back to walking. Im ready to get back to walking to story time and the playground. Im actually really nervous about story time. We havent gone in a while and Now that my daughters tics are extremely noticeable Im worried about the kids noticing and saying something about it. I wonder if we should break down and talk to her about it. Also super stoked about getting taxes done soon so we can get back to doing swim lessons with the kids and all that. I hate winter lol

karen- I really hope the kids dont say anything. Ive been reading alot about teens being able to disguise the tics which is awsome. Right now my daghter (shes 5) has no clue shes doing it. Of course Ill have to let the story time teacher know because her tics can be vocal. Just a small hum and click sound but enough for a non-knowing grown up to ask her to stop. Dr said to ignore it so for now we havent talked to her about it or anything since she doesnt seem to know its there. Your right its hard and as a mom we just wanna fix the problem so they dont have to struggle and thats going to be my biggest challenge, letting her face her problems and dealing wtih it on her own.

jena- I hit a plateau about that time in my weight loss too. It sucked. I think thats when I started to work on during the day instead of at night. and thanx

Good morning everyone. First I want to say congrats to all the losers this week. I am so proud of all of us for taking this journey. We can do this, but we have to stay strong.

Last night I went to my first northern Cracker Barrel and it was yummy. I had one piece of grilled catfish, carrots, green beans, 1 piece of corn bread, and a half order of fries. Then we went to the hockey game. I am not a big sports fan, but I love the concession stands. So bad I know, but what can you do. I actually had fun at the game. We saw a good fight too. We were in the second roww from the ice and it was so nice. The husband had a blast. Anyways I tried not to go over board. I split a bag of cotton candy with the hubby and then we also split a doughball (it is kind of like a funnel cake), and then I had a medium hot cocoa. I got on the scale this morning and I was up 2 pounds. I know that half of that is retention from sodium. I also know that I take my true weight on Friday. I could have done so much worse so I am not worrying about it. I went to my first hockey game and I enjoyed the night with my husband and his buddies. It was a good time.

Now today is a new day. The husband and I got up and we made pancakes together. They were yummy. I couldn't even finish them all. Later I am going to get an hour workout in while the DH practices. I love having 2 floors. He goes upstairss and I take over the living room. I think I am going to let Jillian kick my butt today. I would go to the gym on base, but they are working on the floors. So for now I will do what I can at home. I will be glad when it warms up and I can go for a run outside. I miss my runs so much. I really miss my runs with Tamara and our talk time. Anyways I think we are going to get out and about today. The base shows movies that are out at the theater for free a lot. they get special privileges and it is nice. They are playing the third Narnia movie. I am in the process of reading the books right now. I want to see the movie before I finish the book. The book usually is better and then the movie tends to be a disappointment. I also think that we are going to do a boat tour today. They have a brand new submarine on base and I can go see it with the hubby. I think it is going to be a good day.

Marcie - Thank you so very much. Good job on the 1.5 pound loss. It is a start back in the right direction. Have you heard from Deneen? She keeps coming and going. Get back to doing Jillian. Try to do her every other day. She makes you sore, but she is so worth it.

Jena - A loss is a loss. I hate TOM. I feel like my wieght is off for 3 weeks out of the month. I want to eat everything when I am ovulating and then when I am on my period. Then the week in between I feel so bloated. It is no fun. Have fun visiting your friend in Vegas.

Amber - WTG checking in again today. I am so proud of you. Good for you for seeing results and not letting yourself splurge. You got this my friend.

Tamara - I hope you enjoyed yesterday and got to sleep in this morning. I hope game night was fun too. I have not texted you because I did not want to wake you up. Have a great day girlie. BTW I miss our runs like crazy. I am so ready to run outside again. I enjoy it so much more than inside. I think you need to take a trip up here in the spring and come explore and go running with me. Just saying!

Karen - How are you doing this morning? Are you getting your water in?

Jessica - Great job on doing the bike again. You will see the scale moving again soon. I hope that story time goes well when you take your kids to the library. I agree with you on the warm weather. I am ready to get outside and do some kind of workout. I want to run again. Right now the sidewalks are still covered in snow and we are suppose to gget more tonight and then again on Tuesday. Oh and it is like 14 degrees outside. So frustrating.

Sorry to those that I missed. I hope you all have a great day! I need to get off here and get my day going.

Tamara I hope you are feeling better.It is probably your Dads memories I know every time I pass by where my brother passed away I get a sick feeling in my stomach.
I lost .6 of a lb this week not bad when I layed around all week because of a sprang ankle. Going to start slow but going to try and get in a little walking this week, ankle is still sore

Good morning everyone, just wanted to check in and see how everyone was today. Hope you are all having a good weekend!

everyone siad they couldnt do dinner so no going yay lol I wasnt so much guilted into it but DH, though I think part of him wants to believe that his gma really wants to see the kids. Im not so fooled by those people but Ig uess its easier to see through people when they aren't your own family. Sucks but it is what it is right. YAY I dont have to go but DH has to go to his dads house for a dinner though. 3 years ago after my son was born we made the discission that his dad was not aloud in our kids lives so yay I dont gotta go hehe

Good morning everyone. I am having a rough weekend. All i have wanted to do is eat eat eat and I have been giving in. Last night we went to a sushi place and they have an all you can eat sushi menu. The DH and I love sushi! It was so good. We both have been craving it and when I am pregnant we won't be ale to have it very often and then I will have to be super careful about the rolls that I have. So I had bad food Friday and I had bad food yesterday. I am probably going to have bad food again today. I think we are ordering pizza. I even had a dream about cupcakes last night and woke up wanting cupcakes. Cupcakes are my favorite, but there are no bakeries around here. I could make some from scratch, but I don't want them that bad. But seriously who dreams about cupcakes? This girl does. God what is my problem! All I want to do is eat eat eat and I am giving in. I have a headache today. I am bundled up and still freezing cold. I keep getting a nasueas feeling, but when I eat it goes away. I think that might be why I am wanting to eat. I am just screwing myself all up this weekend. Oh and my knee is popping in and out of place so there will be no workout for me today. Plus my body is exhausted and needs a day off. Fingers crossed that this crummy feeling passes and that I start feeling better soon.

I hope everyone is having a good Sunday. I will check back in later or tomorrow. It all depends on my mood.

Good morning everyone,

Just checking in quickly. Another weekend gone by and no excercise....I have been managing to keep calorie intake good, so that maybe helping me, but I really want to get more active. Oh well here's to a new week. I will get all my water in today and I will go walking during my lunch break.

Can't stay long today, but I would really love it if Tamara would send us all the recipe to the fantabulous orange cranberry muffins!! :happy:

Might be a good idea for us to share some of our recipes...I know I sometimes get tired of the same thing over and over!

You all have a good Monday!!

I forgot to ask on my last post-does anyone do measurments to keep track of inches lost. Thanks
