Guttless Gutters 01/30/09

You beat me - I was just starting a post! Once again - I am too slow.

Happy Friday Everyone!

I had a pity party last night - just feeling frustrated that my loss has slowed down so much. I have had issues for the past month with BM - typically when I was losing I'd go at least twice a day right now I am lucky if I go every other day. I've been exercising more than I ever have, eating from 1200 - 1300 calories a day adding in for exercise, been over my goal on fiber usually around 25g a day, I do get up to around 80g of protein a day which is over my goals set here and I am drinking at least 64 oz of water.

The first 4 months on here I lost 40 pounds well in this past month I've only lost about 4 - as I type this I am realizing - that's still over a pound a week - and I am not going in the other direction....so I guess I am feeling better! Also - I would imagine I am increasing my muscle as well - I've been exercising about 5 days a week-but only 30 day Shred or BL Cardio and some extra pushups, situps

Anyway - thanks for letting me babble-I am proud of myself for what I've accomplished and being down 5 pant sizes really helps with that! I just ordered some stuff from Old Navy - they have 50% off their clearance stuff so I got 2 pairs of pants and 5 long sleeve tshirts for $40 including shipping! check it out if you are in need of some cheap skinnier clothes! The code is HALFOFF in the coupon section when you check out.

Yeah...when's it gonna get warm anyway....:noway: :grumble: :noway: I started my swimsuit browsing last night...kinda need hot weather to wear the darn thing...:grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

Hotels have pools.

Morning Chrissy....

I'm glad in sharing with us that your turned your mood around... You have overcome so much and have a ton to be thankful for...you know that! :flowerforyou: You are still losing, and I'm sure you are gaining muscle...woohoo!!!

New clothes...:drinker: that is always a great incentive/reminder of how far you have come...:drinker: Hey, Aero has a deal right now where with each pair of jeans you donate (doesn't have to be their brand, men's, women's kid's) you can get 25% off any new pair. They are donating all the given ones to local charities. Cool idea, and some of their jeans aren't too expensive to begin with. Check it out...

Take care and have a great day!!!

What a great deal (and awesome way to give back!).

Great job on your day yesterday! Keep up the good work:drinker: :drinker:

BTW...I LOVE the swimsuit cover up I got. Really cute

Have a great day all...we can do this!!!!!

That's great! Just make sure you take it off and get in there and have some fun with the kiddos!!!

Oh, I will. W/ 3 kiddos 5 and under I HAVE to get wet...they outnumber us now:laugh:

I am at 139.7 this week. I haven't seen 130's in awhile. I have slowed down, but I mostly because school has started up again, between that, work and my daughter's classes I haven't had as much time for excercise. Thank god for the gym at my work!!!!

Hi all!!

I don't have time to go back and read......sorry :flowerforyou: I had a 4 hour class today mandated for all office employees:grumble: So now it's time to play catchup here at work for the rest of the day :explode:

I weighed in and I worked my butt off for 1/2 of a lb

It's something but this site doesn't show half pounds so I can't even brag about it :sad: :sad: :sad: Oh well.....half is better than none or a gain I suppose. Sooooooooo........4.5 lbs til I reach my goal

BUT they are stubborn

I may not make it in 2 weeks but even if I can lose another 1.5 or 2 lbs.....I'll be happy. That means I will DEFINATELY reach my goal before April. (I have to do my final dress fitting then).:drinker: :bigsmile:

I think I'm gonna need to add another 5-10 lbs to my goal eventually, but it'll have to be after the wedding. Cuz after April fitting, I have to maintain until the wedding. :grumble:

Also my body fat% has gone down from 36% when I started this toooooooooo.........



25.5%


So that's definately a good thing :drinker:

I had 100 calories left yesterday, did 52 minute TaeBo, walked 1 mile with dumbbells, 10 mins BL Sculpt, and 275 crunches. :drinker: And drank my water :drinker:

Tonight I'm doing my 55 minute workout, 20 minutes BL Sculpt, 275 crunches, and walking 2 miles with my dumbbells. I still have 1261 calories for today (that includes my workout calories). But, fiance wants to go to Quaker Steak & Lube to try out their food. I'll be doing some nutrition research here soon to see what I can eat. And hopefully I'll have enough calories for a few beers too :bigsmile: :drinker: I'm thinking 1261 calories should cover it. :laugh:

K.........back to the circus :smooched: :laugh:
(yes my job can relate to a circus)

Hey Kellch :flowerforyou:

Keep up the great effort baaaby!!! :drinker:

Hope the rest of your day goes well (stupid work ) and have fun at dinner!!! :bigsmile:

:smooched:
