SIXERS Spring into Action--Week 2

Thanks Em!!! I'll have to look for that when I go to the store next time. I love sobert!!!

Lauren, I'm sorry your struggling. At least you have a wonderful supportive husband at home.

Oh Chipper, I'm sorry you're going through so much! I'll send up a prayer for you.

Sending you love!

Will weigh in, in the morning guys. I went for an hour walk with the dog today. :-) Also did some stretches.

good morning,

heading to the gym in a few. wk2 day 2. i am fighting myself on going, cause i just want to curl up and cry right now. but, i know this is what i need right now.

back later.

lula...funny how that works. who knew, right?
tif...i will be fine. thanks for the prayers.

:happy: Hey Ladies. Good morning!

Chipper. I hope things get better for you soon... hugs!

Kristin. My calorie goal is 1330... those extra 130 calories really help (above the 1200) - i found I could not stick with 1200, I felt tired and dizzy... and alwaysss hungry... plus I find I don't count all the exercise I really do... short lunch walks and playing with the dogs etc... so if I keep my goal between 1300 and 1400 + my counted exercise calories I tend to lose... on days I don't exercise I typically make a huge salad with lots of veggies for lunch (which is filling and low cal...). I need a big breakfast and I can never resist a late night snack

*** I hope everyone's toes get better, and stay safe :happy:

Lorna. I eat most of my calories in the AM too... :ohwell: I divided my tracker into three time periods 8 - 12, 1- 5, and 6 - 9 and I try to eat about 450 calories in each period... keeps me more focused on spreading it out over the entire day... :drinker:

Food:
Morning
Fage Greek Yogurt w/ Honey
Special K - 90 Cal Bar (Strawberry)
DD Small Iced Coffee (w/ cream + sugar) <-- I NEED to cut this out, the cream kills me, ugh. and I am trying to kick the fake sugar... even though I it... :noway:

Afternoon
light string cheese
???

Evening
Salad: grilled chicken, grapes, light balsamic, cheese, onions

This is sort of one of those days I had nothing prepared for lunch, which can be scary, as I tend to hit up McD's... but I am going home for lunch so I will make something healthy... :flowerforyou:

I will try to check back later... have a great day ladies.

Not much weight loss this week, but I'm not upset. :-) I have a plan to keep active and eating foods that are tasty and delicious and in normal quantities.

I'm currently looking to buy my first house in my new city and trying to enjoy my last few weeks before I start my new job/residency! I'm really excited :-D Also, I am finally forcing myself to feel the pain of my failed engagement and move on from that relationship because it's not good for me. I am trying to remember that there are other men out there and even if not, I'll be happier by myself with less stress (even tho I love him). Ok, tmi I guess.

Hope you all have a great day!

Plan
B- grits egg + cheese + turkey bacon
S-fruit
L- Tuna with cranberries
S- ?
D- sauteed shrimp + chicken (3 oz) + wheat pasta

Not the exact plan for the day but the basic plan.

hi ladies,

how are we all?
Chipper you dont sound happy at all hun. i really hope things pick up for you and i'm sending some calm (non-stressful) love your way. everyone deserves a break and i really hope you get one soon hun. But in the meantime, keep checking in with us, we're all here to support you...... stress or no stress, you have friends here.

well my non-scales time is going ok, i think last week i jsut went off theboil but i'mback on a feeling positive this week. I'm exercising and started running again yesterday which was great! going again tomorrow and again at the weekend. the weather is beautigul here at the moment so i am really lookingforward to getting out and about a lot!

my friend has lent me Tracy Andersons 30 Day Method. has anyone tried it? i've read the book and i'm really not convinced. i havent done any of the mat exercises or the cardio yet though so it may be a lot harder than it looks in the book!

love to you all
will check in again before week is out x

i went and did my C25K this morning and jumped on the stair climber.

i really don't want to go into details, cause of my daughter being on here. she doesn't need to know. she knows we are fighting. today is the most we have talked to each other in days. we actually went to the store together tonight. it will pass. i did some long thinking this morning. my dad had left when i was 13. walked out on Christmas morning. so when DH and i fight i find myself wanting to leave and be on my own. well this morning i realized i might think this, because than the man in my life doesn't walk out on me again. it makes sense to me. i also realized a few other things too.

well, need to finish dinner.

later

Cathy - Sorry to hear about the stresses. But taking the time to sit and think through things will help you not make rash decisions. You are a very strong woman. You can figure this out, even taking some moments to breath and self-reflecting.

Hope all the little digits are doing well.

AFM:
Confirmed son's broken knuckle yesterday so he got a "cool" splint.

Went over on my calories yesterday BUT I'm not defeated. Didn't let it deflate me and go WAY OVER. Went over by 460, but it could have been a lot worse. So new day, re-newing resolve.

Have a great day everyone!
