Over 200 New Year New Me Part 48

good morning gals!

I did not have a great weekend with food ... I was in such a good 'groove' and now I feel like I'm struggling again with food choices. I NEED to get back on track today or I know I won't see a loss on the scale by Friday.

The weekend was horrible for me for food. UGH!

hello girls.

I ended not doing too goog this weekend, but only 1/2 was bad so i guess that is an improvemnt.

Weekend was very stressful. In laws were here and they drove me crazy, my mil is metnally ill from the result of a car acident several years ago , and it is just stressful, she goes on rampages and i just can't deal, then FIL just yells at her, and repeats his dang self over and over, which so does jeremy and the kids, drive me nuts. Then they broke my brand new trashcan, i just had enough.

sO that i didn't eat everything in sight is a win.

After dinner tonight i was only up less than 2 lbs which i will take, TOM should be leaving soon.

Had another fun beer event last night, but I couldn't drink (well more than sips to taste) because of the antibiotics for my finger. I wanted to make sure it was super clear that I wasn't drinking because I was on antibiotics and NOT because I was pregnant. However, it did make me realize that when/if I do get pregnant (we aren't trying right now), I may need to avoid beer gatherings for the first trimester. I don't think I could always "be on antibiotics" - I would totally blow my cover! :laugh:

Checking in for yesterday:
Cals - Over, but not as much as if I had been drinking beer at the event! They had this delicious goat cheese at the event, so I ate quite a bit of that on tasty bread. Cheese and bread - they are sneaky!!
Water - 64 oz
Exercise - Walked about 1.5 miles throughout the day
Proud - Didn't completely gorge myself on the bread/cheese combo.

Whoa whoa whoa - Renea - you were on the television? Do tell us more!:glasses:

Checking in for the weekend -
Saturday:
calories - Over
Water - good
Exercise - light walking
Proud - funeral and dinner at the nicest restaurant in the area and I was only over by 300 calories? Win!

Sunday:
Calories - slightly under
Water - good
Exercise - bad
Proud - I had a coney dog for lunch but I wanted TWO coney dogs and FRIES!

Monday:
calories- over by about 350
Water - good
Exercises - huh?
proud - I tried to stay clean in my eating even after my major fail. I ate a CUP of milk chocolate covered raisins. what the :devil: ?

I'm still home - working from home until Thursday due to pain from this last expansion. The doctor heard I was having problems (I called the resident on call over the weekend) and he emailed me from his vacation to find out if I was doing OK. I'm supposed to "take it easy and let things heal" and they proscribed vicodine and ice packs. So I'm trying to take it easy :ohwell:

Afternoon ladies! How is everybody? Seems like the thread has been pretty quiet!

Speaking of antibiotics...I'm back on them. UGH! Ready to be off of them. Better not make me retain water. I got my biggest loser competition at work I need to win! Hopefully this is the last round. Supposed to hit the g ym tonight. So far down about 1.5 pounds from Fridays weight. YAY!!

Hi everyone! My name is Jenn and I'm logging onto the website for the first time today. I've been using the app for about a week now, but want some friendly faces to chat with too! I'm hopeful a support system might help! I'd usually rather quit than struggle alone, so I'm looking for a remedy here!

Hello ladies.

I am doing good, trying to get back on track this week

I was trying to watch BL finale but we are having bad weather and they have intruppted and probably will the whole show :sad: I understand bad weather but they are saying the same thing over and over again.

I'll be sure to check in with you all if I am ever in need of ways to not be prego in public!

Good work on the portions mstahl!!

Went to a kick-boxing class last night and WHOA, it was tough. However, I kept up with most of the punching and running. Had some difficulty with the core work (for real sit-ups, no crunches allowed!). My cardio strength is much improved, but my core strength leaves a bit to be desired. Oh well, I know what to work on!

Yesterday's check-in:
Cals - Over - even with those exercise cals, I went over on my calories. This is likely because TOM is here and I am MUNCHY!! Only 325 over, so not horrible.
Water - 64 oz
Exercise - 40 min kick-boxing class
Proud - For my first class, I think I did pretty awesome!!

I fly to St. Louis today for some time with family and friends. I'll be there through Tuesday. We're very close to the track, so I may get some running in and we've got space in the basement for videos. I'm there for 6 days, so I'm hoping to get some good exercise in and be responsible with my eating. I'm on antibiotics through Saturday, so that limits the days I can drink. Silly, but important!!

I'll be sure to check in with you all if I am ever in need of ways to not be prego in public!

Use the diet excuse - tell them you're buckling down and as much as you love beer you need to pull out the stops for a few months to get the last of the weigh off. My sister is thin as a rail, she had NO way to cover so she drank but very slowly and would "lose track" of her glass of wine or beer.

I think I get the Redneck title from Jess today - I've turned the horses out in our back yard, beside the chicken "coop" - a dog kennel with a dog house for shelter and a litter box for a nesting box! My neighbors are probably freaking out about now!

(picture in my profile)

checking in for yesterday:
calories: good
exercise: good - mowed the lawn to get some exercise in
water: not so good
proud: that I flew threw the lawn mowing even though I really didn't have time

My class last night was about insulin resistance and how we develop that by eating too many carbs and transfats, and how it takes time to 'heal' our metabolisms by cutting out trans fats and high fructose corn syrup (most processed foods). I realized that I was probably regressing for the last couple of weeks because I was snacking on seemingly innocent saltines - but loaded with transfats and sodium. Might explain my weight gain last week. I also have been eating too much dairy (I'm supposed to limit my dairy protein to once a day - but since I LOVE cheese I was eating that several times a day again). Falling back into a few old bad habits, got back on track today.

OK this was a bad night

Calories - 1400 at dinner so yeah! BAD
Water: awesome
Exercise: stil grounded

Proud: that I'm rooting for the Mavericks for my MFP bud! Oh yeah! I love explaining why I'm loyal to that team! (and at this moment Dallas is winning!):drinker: Whoot Whooott!

Busy week at work this week. So stressed by all of it. I lost almost 10lbs the first week+ I was doing this... but now I'm stagnant at about the same weight and still eating 1200calories or less. VERY frustrating. Go weight, GO!!

Checking in for yesterday (and the days prior... LOL)

Calories: Under... under under under. Feel like I'm doing great with this!
Water: I'm drinking a ton more water than I have and I'm working on increasing that even (thx MiO!)
Exercise: Walking every night for 20-40 minutes with the fiance
Proud: I've been staying on track pretty well and avoiding the package of Klondike bars in the freezer!!

Hey Kd - I'd eat at least your allocated 1200 calories so you can get all your nutrients. And make sure they're quality calories (whole foods or at least resonably good foods). Also remember that your body is a little confused. If it were as easy as cutting calories and walking that would be fabulous but just to make things interesting we get to deal with bodies who never read our diet books and don't seem to know when to drop the pounds!

Hang in there and you'll start seeing the changes! One day at a time and aim for a pound a week :flowerforyou:

hello girls, hope everyone is doing good.

I had a rough day, you know i know i fell off the wagon some but after today i just was soo upset.

FYI - vent!!!!


I had a meeeting with a PT , i thought it was an intro to all the machines and stuff, but really was a selling meeting. This guy was telling me that i have failed at getting to my goal and that i needed a pt 2x a week for several months, pretty much if i didn't i wouldn't meet my goal since i haven't met my goals yet. THat i needed him to tell me what to do since apparently i didn't know what to do, that since i hadn't been doing strength that is the reason i gained weight , that my nutrion wasn't good since i was mainly only looking at calories.

at 1st i was thinkign , maybe this guy is right and i really need him, but the more i thought about it and with dh perspective that he is telling me all this so i think i need him.

Made me upset cause i think i have done good , even with my setback, i still have lost around 50 lbs and i don't think that is anything to sneeze at, for this guy to tell me that i have no clue what i am doing just took a stab into confidence that i really can't do this.

Hubby has tried to reassure me i can do this without paying this guy thousands of $$
