Smurfettes and Papa Smurf 10/20-10/26

Hi everyone,
I didnt see any threads for the weekend so I figured everyone was busy. I think doing it a week at a time is fine. That way we dont miss what anyone says. I hope everyone had a good week. I have to plan a meeting so I have to get off of here and get on the ball. Talk to everyone later.

Connie

Good morning all-
I had a lovely week-end, but so bad in the food dept that I didn't even bother to count calories. My husband made a delicious birthday dinner and dessert for himself on Fri night and then I was off to the Boston area on Sat. for a baby shower. More delicious food. I stayed over with my sister-in-law and mother-in-law and enjoyed everything. Just wasn't the occasion to watch what I ate. When I got home yesterday, I discovered my husband had invited friends over for dinner and we pulled out left-over birthday cake. I figured the week-end was already a lost cause so......
But I was pleasantly surprised this morning to see that, despite the week-end's splurging, I had only gained half a pound. So, I'm motivated to do better now that Monday is here and the weather is spectacular. Hope to burn off a few more calories with a nice walk outside. I really want to be able to report a weight loss for the Blue team on Wed. morning!

Today is my rest day so I wont be exercising today. Which is probably good because I just started doing some weights this week and the inside of my thighs are sore from one of the machines. Glad to hear everyone is doing ok after the weekend.

Connie

You know I havent seen Jeff lately. Hopefully we will see him either today or tomorrow. I hope he did ok on his exam, he sure studied alot for it. We willhave to send out a search party for him.

Hi Everybody!

I survived the exam, but I didn't survive my weekend unscathed. I was up 10 "pounds" after my weekend drink-a-thon. I'm taking it easy these few days. It was an amazing weekend with my best friends, so it was worth the small speedbump. I was right back on track yesterday.

Kickboxing tonight AND biggest loser! How much better can it be!

Have a smurftastic day, ladies!

hi alls

i see a lot of people been having bday !! it was mine as well yesterday .. so happy birthday to all the birthday peoples !!

i am still all out of wack from the past weeks event... (road trip in france, grandpa passing, my bday and other stuff...) so i havent lost much weight and i dont trust the scale because i am not consistant with the eating/working out,, but now everything should be smooth until chrismas,,, well hopefully ..lol
goal is to be 159 by then (175 now)

so tonight is body attack class,,, along with a bit of elliptical,,, clean good calorie eating !!

ho .. one thing about clean eating,,, i havent been in the last 10 days.. and my do i ever see a difference in how i feel.. ive had headaches.. tummy aches.. and other things as well..

have a good day !

Hello all!! READ ME READ ME I'M SO HAPPY! (sorry so long:blushing: )

Congrats Jeff! :drinker:
Happy Birthday May! :glasses:
Welcome Nina! :flowerforyou:
Don't freeze Connie! :frown:

And hello and all that to the rest of you!!!

Life's been getting in the way. I haven't logged in TWO WEEKS!! I was sick ALL last week but managed not to gain - I was very happy about that. This week is going well. You know that commercial that says "will change your relationship with birthday cake..." I think its really honestly
happening. Food just isn't a big deal anymore!! I eat when I'm hungry, it tastes nice and I'm done. I know how much to eat, I know what to eat, and I haven't been struggling with portions in a LONG TIME.

I feel like my life is changing. I caught a glimpse of myself in a window and I was shocked!! My jeans were FALLING OFF!! I was wearing 12's. I went in to buy new jeans, grabbed a 10 and they were also too big!!!! I got 8's and they fit like a DREAM! I'M IN SINGLE DIGITS!!!!

Also, suddenly I'm getting lots of attention - there were several guys just flirting with me all week long - people who were friendly before but not flirty. Its probably just my confidence that they're attracted too, but still it feels REALLY GOOD. (also, there's a special someone I'm getting close to that is taking up a lot of my time )

Good Morning Smurfettes!

Don't forget to send your weights in!

I killed myself at kickboxing last night, but it paid off. I have almost all of the weekend disgustingness off of me.

Welcome back Jules...I was wondering where you had gone off to!
Welcome to the team Soccermum and Nina. Where are you girls from?

Congrats to your son Zaza! I graduated in May as well, and I have many friends who are still unemployed. Having a job out of school is a miracle, but having two jobs is just amazing.

I started off with a protein shake for breakfast this morning to see if it is as filling as I've heard. I mixed one scoop of protein powder and one cup of milk. I find it to be much more filling than my normal fiber one cereal with half a cup of milk. Interestingly enough, it's actually lower in calories, too. I'll just have to make sure I get my fiber in other places.

Have a Smurftastic Day!

Good morning all,

Its an online day for me and school so I will be multi tasking. I ride my stationary bike for however long it takes to read through the articles. There are only 4 articles today, yipeee.

Jeff, its good to hear you survived. Welcome back. Connie you can call off the search party.:laugh:

Have a great day everyone.

I gained this week, Connie. Don't worry. We'll have big losses next week.

Good morning All,
Thank you for the Welcomes!
I am from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
I lost 1 pound this week, so that was alright,
Its okay about the gains guys! This week should be a better week for all of us!

Have a great Day!
Nina

Good Morning!

So last night I made a spaghetti squash. The problem is that I liked it so much I ate the ENTIRE THING. Next thing I knew, I was laying on the couch in pain. I guess it had expanded in my belly.

It's kind of pathetic that I ate an entire 4 pound squash, but it was oh so good.

I'm still full from dinner last night, and it's a bit outrageous I let a squash get the best of me.

Have a Smurfy Day!

Hello my fellow blue team members!

I am having some MFP technical difficulties. It will not allow me to see past my first page of personal messages. Since so many people send those personal messages on weigh in day, I may have lost some of them. I am going to post what I have and if anyone doesnt see their name on there then please let me know! Sorry guys. I even waited until this morning to see if it was just a temporary problem but that doesnt seem to be the case.
