well with the superbowl food in the forecast, a healthy fish meal at some point of the weekend would be a great[healthy] choice!
Good Luck! Remember a good trick for going to party's where you know the food is going to be crazy, well there a couple things you can do. Prepare something healthy to bring to the table for everyone. Something like a nice big green salad full of lots of fresh veggi, then maybe prepare some chicken breast and cut it all up in small salad size chunks. I am sure SOME people there would appreciate the healthy choice but regardless YOU have a healthy choice to fill up on. You can still have some goodies but fill up on your healthychicken salad first so you dont over indulge on the treats. If your not comfortable with that EAT BEFORE YOU GO! We all know when we are hungry we don't make the best choices! If your hosting the party even better you are in control of the food! Have fun good luck!

tamara I want laser hair removal!! Im so envious.

AFM- big fat 0 on the scale but TOM started this morn so thats why O and maybe cuz I havent been as anal about what I eat so this week starts being more anal liike I was befre

headed out for our saturday run, just wanted to tell you about the evil we humans call a scale. This morning I step on the digital scale again and it said 179....just long enough for me to get wide eyed and smile then POOF gone 180.4 :noway: :explode: :sad: :sick:
that was just cruel. :laugh:
have a good on! Just a half a freakin pound away from being out of the stupid 80's! Got to go get my sweat on! :glasses: I am going to use the C25K method this morning

I hope no one minds but I have loss 11.2 lbs. When I started last May I was 5 lbs. less than what I weighed in Dec. when I decided I was really going to get serious about this losing weight. So everytime I would come into the site my wieght loss showed 5 lbs. less than what I have actually loss. So I changed my starting weight. It is making me feel better because I had to work to lose those 5 lbs. So when you see 11 lbs. now you know why. Jeanne1949

ok sorry I have not been here in a minuet. I snuck on the scale and weighed in cause I was a bit discouraged from gaining and I am happy to reaport that I am down so far but I know that the week is not over yet. I have been hitting the gym and letting my muscles know who's the boss and nothing is gonna stop me on this journey not even some wimpy little gain. I have been super busy due to the fact that a friend of min's mom has been on hospice and I have been going over during my lunch break at work and after work to help her take care of her since I used to do it for a living and I know how hard it can be on a family. I had gone twice yesterday then got a phone call at 10pm saying come now and I had been up since 4 am well I sat there with my friend, our other friends and her family till the bitter end at 4;15 am. I got home at about 5 am and had to get up for work at 8am so since she works where I do and is a long term associate they knew where I had been and let me only work a 1/2 shift so I came home and slept. I will not be on here very much for the next few days since tomorrow is the viewing and tuesday is the funeral. On a different note before the call I was at a get together and there was every kind of yummy unhealthy food you can think and plenty of it. I did not even eat one peanut I took my own stuff and never gave into the serious peer pressure of eating. I finally said stop guilting me into eating so that you can feel less guilty for stuffing your faces!!! Know be my friends and encourage me to do good not bad, so they did. Anyways sorry for the rambling jut had to get that out. It broke my heart for everyone to be looking at me waiting for me to say it was over and I felt this incredibule pressure to be so on top of everything. Never wanna have to tell another friend that again.
Thank you to everyone for the encouaging words about my gain. Also thanks for not giving up on me. Take care and I will be back in a few days. Oh yeah I am packing my lunch to take to the funeral home for the two days so that I do not have to bring in what ppl bring cause I can't weight it and you know the food at a funeral is never anything too healthy.

grr Im so discouraged. I just wanna eat eat eat all day. I didnt lose anything last weigh in but that could be cuz TOM showed up sorta that day. Nothing is working out right now grrr. Dh will most likely be outa work in a few weeks for back surgery so that will suck and now getting him a nice car is outa the picture since we will most likely have to live off our income tax check after the surgery.

Good morning all. Just a quick check in. I had to take my hubby to the doctor this morning. He has a fever of 102.1 with flu like symptoms. He is such a big baby when he is sick. The doctor said it is a virus and he is sick in quarters for 2 days. So basically he has to stay home and be doctored by me for 2 days. I have to take care of him and try not to get sick myself. I will do my best. It looks like it will be junk food for the next 2 days. That is what he likes when he is sick. So here goes nothing. Everyone pray he gets better fast and that I do not catch it. I do not want to be sick at all right now. Have a great day everyone.

nicole. Im envious Ive always wanted to do one of those murder mystery dinners. My DH would never go for it though and I dont do sitters lol. When my kids are teens we are gonna lilve it up lol prolly not but ya. I say just eat half of whatever you order.

OOOOO man TOM this month is KILLING me and I dont wanna eat or do anything its bad! Next week Im getting back to my anal portion control me and working out during the day since apparently at night wasnt working well. We should be getting more income coming in next week to buy food so Ill make sure to get back on the healthier eating and not eating out as much. Gonna utilize these lunch bags I bought the kids!! Lots to do next week but Im determined to eat better and eating out is fine just gonna make sure Im back to my anal couting of calories and sodium! Gonna get back to doing like tamara mentioned she does and eating a weight watchers ice cream when I feel like a treat. I was doing this before and ended up every other night having the calories for one and I felt that it helped me not feel so deprived of the sweets and I didnt want anything else. they are good but pricey! Ok Im done ranting. Im gonna make this better and I will get a loss on friday since TOM will be GONE. I will do this!

Tamara I am giving you the week off!! We will get a chart next week! Take care of your stuff. Really don't worry about besides I didn't have a loss anyway!

Hey everyone. The hubby broke his fever last night! We disinfected the house and have washed everything he touched. I am so glad that he is feeling better. I had my first appointmetn with WIC today and we got approved. I knew we would, but I was happy to get it. The nutritionist there told me that 2000 calories a day was a great range to stay in. She said that I really shouldn't gain more than a couple pounds in my first trimester. She said I can tweak the calories as needed as long as I am getting in all the food groups. So I have to be super strict. I gave in yesterday and the sick hubby and I had Dunkin Doughnuts and McDonalds. It was so yummy, but not worth the upset tummy. Today I am back on track, but still taking it easy with the hubby. He goes back to work tomorrow and I go back to normal routine. That means I get a workout in and I so need it. Thursday I am trying the fit for two pregnancy class with a friend on the base. It is 1 hour and 15 minutes. I can't wait to see how it is. The friend is due in June and she is in desparate need of some exercise. They offer it twice a week and if we like it then I have a workout buddy for a few months. Plus it is a great chance for me to meet other wives/moms on the base.

Tamara - Take the day off and do what you need to do.

Everyone else, have a great day. I got to get some lunch. Talk to you all soon.

Hello guys,

Sorry I haven't been around. I'm not in a good place right now, so I don't want to come on here and bring anyone down. So I've decided to fix myself and come back when I am ready to contribute to the team.

Tamara....take care of that little one.

I will be back roaring....just give me some time.

Love you all!

Hello all- my day is much like Jena's today - woke up to INCHES of water on the floor - seeping through the walls and into the ceiling below... toilet apparently ran all night. to top it off, I was running late for work and then going to a very, very sad funeral for my friend's baby daughter...
I am TRYING VERY HARD to control me and not let the day or EMOTIONS control me. Eating McDonald's - which actually doesn't even taste that good anymore - will help NO ONE!!!! It is not even comfort food - it just makes me feel like poo when I'm done.
Anyway, I digress... the only good thing that came from the water was the exercise I got vacuuming and cleaning it up...
I am getting my water in today and am going to give situps and at least 10 mins of cardio a shot tonight - I have A LOT of pent up energy and frustration to burn off.
Hello to everyone! 3 more days to weigh in - what are your goals for friday? Mine is a 2 pound loss - Ok, Deneen - make it happen!
