T.H.E (Trying Hard Everyday) Team

Wow, how did I miss this? Thanks for posting!

I bought some of those shape-up shoes. I took a walk in them yesterday and I could feel the difference in how I walked. I really walk hard on my heels and my heels were really hurting yesterday when I got up. Once I had those shoes on and was walking and realized my heels had stopped hurting. BUt today I am sore all over. Must be from walking different. I can barely move! Going to have to see how I feel after wearing them for 8 hours straight.

Anita I struggle weekends. I don't usually log cause I go out to eat more on the weekend and have no idea how to log what I've eaten and because I am lazy and I tend to eat a few snacky things that I don't want to record. I just make myself get on track again on Monday. You just have to keep trying. So you want me to poke at you on facebook to try to help???

Vial: nice to see you post. You are so right about identifying what is making you lose your motivation. Maybe each day you can set a goal...and a reward for that day if you get through it. Then after a few days of "making it:" set your goal out further...go for a week then get the reward. Or a month and get a reward..or a certain weight loss for the reward. Keep the carrot out there in front of you to go after.

Cyndi: nice to see you again. I am glad you are enjoying your bike. I am sure it opened up a new venue for new friends. I need something to do that for me.

Vicki: The wind can be horrible huh? Yesterday it was sunny so I decided to go for a walk with just a sweater on but the wind started up and I was pretty cold by the time I got back. Just keep working at it. We will get good days to walk. Wish we could walk together.

Have a good week all!!

Deb

Howdy Gals!

According to my food diary I've had less than 900 calories today. It feels like I've had more...but I did spend a lot of time hanging around the 'puter waiting for an invite to a "help me" web site. They didn't invite until 3 pm, and then I couldn't connect, so they had to RING me up and talk me through the problem I was having with my recipe program. We got it fixed, so now I can access my recipes again (LOVE LOVE LOVE the program). And sometime in there I got another cushion cover made and ready to stuff. Now all I need to make is the curtain for the front window of the motor home. Found out this morning our first "group" camp out is two weekends from now. We usually camp with our good friend who leaves every May to fish in Alaska, commercially. He usually doesn't get home until October, so before he heads north, we camp with him, his son and family and other various folks. So, there is some urgency getting this sewing done!!!!!

Sheila, you are one active lady! I hope our town pool has water aerobics this summer, and I would love to trade in my Dreadmill for an elliptical. I think it would be easier on the joints. So....how do you do 700 crunches in water? Sounds grueling!

Glad to see you here, Cyndi...I see you on FB riding with all your friends! We still haven't cranked up the bikes...too cold and it's been VERY windy. If I won't walk in the wind I'm certainly NOT going to ride in the wind. I've lost my motivation too, but not any more. When tempted I'm going the visualize me as a skinny person. I'm going to have to give up my Friday Costco muffin. As good as they are...they aren't worth the 600+ calories for one meal.

Vicky, I had to giggle on your home post about lamb being so high in calories and chicken not very tasty. Then on THE thread you mention the different foods you see on MFP that you don't see in the UK. I don't know about the rest of the gals, here, but living in the West, lamb is not a staple meat. Even in the 21st Century Cattle still will reign over sheep (unless you're into using the wool, and we have a plethora of spinners and weavers in our small valley). We have more Buffalo in our meat section than lamb at the grocery store.

What I did right today...I didn't have a dinner roll!

Happy Losing...Vicki...*Ü*

That's a big difference Shawna, you can really see it in your face. Nice change of hairdo too. I hope your feeling really proud of yourself, you look great

Howdy Gals,

Great story about your "bad" kitty and the flying feathered friend. We've had more than our fair share of the same adventure. Get a dog in the mix and it's vaudeville! Good for you with your water. It's such a vital mineral, and we can't take it as a supplement. Once your body is used to the hydration....it won't take two hours to clean your shed, unless it's more cluttered than it was this year...Ü

Dreamer, don't be a "Cast A Way"...sorry, I couldn't help myself. Pleeeeeze hang with us, for nothing else but to let us know how your healing.

Awesome pix, Shawna. Your hard work shows, and you should be proud...as well as Jeremy (sorry...terrible speller).

Tomorrow I'm spending alllll day on a first aid class. I figured working in an office of gals all over 40 and most over weight ONE of use should know CPR! With my luck it'll be me who needs it and I'll be telling the others what to do....:sick:

What I did right today....made myself a beautiful AND tasty fruit and vegetable salad for lunch. Even my Chief eyeballed it and smacked his lips. My previous Chief would roll his eyes and say I ate funny!

Happy Losing...Vicki...*Ü*

What about Jeremy...? and that is how you spell it You were right. He is sooo handsome isn't he? I couldn't NOT put him in there... he has had such an impact on my life and he truly completes me! :-D

Ladies. I am sorry I have been soo absent. I am such a bad pal! Keep up all your hard work you guys!!!!!!!!! In the Challeng thread that I am in this week we are doing 7 servings of fruits and veggies and trying 2 new exercises!! Give it a shot! It feels great to focus on something specific and also trying something NEW is always fun!
Night ladies! Time to enter my food for tomorrow and get it all ready.
Sounds like a very successful day Vicki!
