BWL Smurfettes and Papa Smurf 11/3 - 11/9

hi there all..

this weekend we kept our nieces, 2 girls 5 and 8,,, it sure kept us on our toes,, we dont have a car so we had to walk everywhere with them, and the smallest likes carried around (shes small for her age) we took the opportuity to teach them about eating good for you foods, and made them try stuff they never had before, such as home made pumkin soup and pomegrenate, they rarely eat homecooked stuff, the oldest was all impress when she realized that 95% of what we eat doesnt come from a packet, a jar, or carboard box, thats her reality, it really hitted me that she doesnt know any better. i know their moms is a single mom, working ect... and time and energy (and money) must be on the low side, but i was in the same situation as a kid, and my mom always made sure we had homecooked meals. most of the time anyways.....

i felt exhausted when they left sunday night, they also left with the house in shambles, so that kept me going half the day today, but i loved it though .. makes me want to have some of my own,,lol.

i went from loosing a lot of weight last week to almost nothing in the last 3-4 days. i know why but its still makes me down a little. i'll soon be in the 160's and i CANT wait. im very impatient, . (darn hormones) but im back at the gym tonight, im excited about a good week ahead.

Hello everyone,

Lots of deadlines to meet this week so unfortunately I am sitting on the part that needs to move the most. :sad: We have unbelievable weather here for being Nov. so I took the whole family and went for a walk which was nice. My 12 yr old decided we needed to race uphill. :grumble: I can happily say I am still alive and managed to stay along side her the whole time. Although I don't know if I will be able to move later. Hope everyone has a great week.

Hi Everybody!

I went on the elliptical for an hour last night, and I listened to Bon Apetit podcasts about Cheesecakes, Sangria, and other delicious treats. I have been touching the candy bowl this morning, and I need to stay away.

YAY ELECTIONS TODAY! GET OUT AND VOTE!

hello all...

it doesnt happen often, but today i had NOTHING to do, as you might remember, im a canadian in the uk and im not allowed to work... i always do my best to keep busy, but today , arghhhhh,
sometimes i feel like im wasting my life away here.. its driving me crazy thinking of the money i could be making if i was working,

anyways . ill soon be going to the gym. thats something ,,my time isnt entirely lost
im soon to be in the 160.. i cant believe it !! thats pretty amazing,,, 50 lbs !!!!!!!!!!
im not sure if i would have been able to do it with working and all the rest, maybe the eating, but working out , it must be hard to hit the gym after a long day of work. espacialy when all you want is spend time with your love ones. i lift my hat to the ones that do !!

have a good election day america !

Good moring everyone. Im feeling a little dissipointed today. Ive been working extra hard and the lbs are not coming down.. I did take my measurements

- .5inch neck
-.5 waist
-.5 hips
- 1 arm
-.5 thigh
At least my measurements show some improvements. Im really trying this week to eat all my calories cause im not eating enough, not because im trying not trying to eat but thats just the way i am. I dont eat breakfast its so hard my first meal is usually around 3-5 pm i get up between 9-11 . So that s my goal for this week is to eat my meals and all cals minus a 100 for the things i may forget or mis caculated. So enough about me how is everyone else doing mid week?

Hi All

I squeaked out a loss as well but only the gain from last week. Oh well I'll take it!

Pouring rain here today so inside walking for me.

I'm glad your son is getting better Connie.

Sorry to hear your little one is now sick. Best of luck and hopefully you dont get it now.

hello all...

im so frustrated... after loosing so well pretty much all the time i think i've finaly came to the most dreaded plateau.... its been about 2 weeks now and havent lost much, insult to injury .. im at 170.8 ! so close to the 160's and i want to be there soooo bad..

so now the question is what to do.. lower or add calories??,, play with my workout ? they are already pretty diversified..(swim, elliptical, stairmaster, 2 different classes) i normaly go for 1h30 a day except sunday. for about 600-650 calories a time. witch i eat back. beside that i am extremly sedentary, so i eat between 1550 and 1700 calories a day (all healthy clean homemade cooked vegetarian food.) i do have a hard time reaching my fat/protein amount, but not that much, typicaly 60% carbs 15% protein 25% fat
i do my best to add good fats, like eggs, pb, olive oil, or just more butter on my toast.

i might wait an other couple of days, maybe 1 week before changing things,
i just dunno what to do.. its not the motivation that missing, i have a hard to be normal actualy.
im going back home but the begining of february and i would love to be at my goal of 145 lbs. but then
thats 12 weeks away. with 25 lbs to go, thats about 2 lbs a week.. i know its a little much, and would be ok to settle with 150 lbs.. but anything above that would be a dissapointement

arghhh..
thanks for listening to my rant anywyas... just frustrated,, should go out for a walk and clear my head..
