HI teamies,
Just checkin in...
CM- I know exactly what your going through. My husband left his job last May to return to school and finish his bachelors degree. Now that hes done, finding a job is impossible! We have another month left in savings, then will be selling vehicles (we have 4) among other things to make ends meet. I couldnt give up my gym membership. $60 a month is ALOT tho.. I pay $29 a month for mine at LA Fitness for ALL Gym access, which means if I ever travel anywhere, I can go to any LA Fitness in the US. Since I stay home during the day, I know what you mean about the TV being on. I dont watch it, but have it on all day long for background noise while Im cleaning and getting things done. I also turn the radio on alot when there isnt anything on TV worth "semi-listening" too..:laugh: If you absolutely get to the point where you have to kick your cable to the curb, you can check out hulu.com for free TV via the computer.
Vonzo- WTG on the 1.5!! Thats awesome!
Kelle- Today was my weigh in day and the scale didnt budge for me this week either.
but, i also have been working harder at the gym and doing more weights, so Im gonna do my measurements also. I havent done them in a couple weeks, so we'll see!
agapita- Welcome to our group!! We're still trying to come up with a team name, so any suggestions? If you go back to the beginning of the thread you'll see whats been thrown out there. You can suggest your own or vote for one already posted.
Again... welcome to our team!
Ok... so I have a question? How many calories do I burn teaching my teenage daughter to drive?? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: God, I thought I was gonna die yesterday. Not only did she NOT stop for a schoolbus, a few more miles down the road a police officer pulled up behind us (he was on an urgent call, siren blaring, lights flashing) and she just panicked and stopped in front of him. He yelled at her over the loudspeaker to move over to the right. Scared the crap out of both of us :laugh: :laugh: !! Shes had her permit for 2 months and already done traffic classes, she has 4 months until she can get her license. (thank GOD!)
On another note, I hit the gym early this morning because I was babysitting from 12-5. The family I babysit for has a 11 week old that weighs in at a whopping #14 now. Hes a chunky little happy guy and tooooo cute! I made the mistake of working my arms at the gym today...ha!.. so EVERY time i picked him up my arms and pecks were cursing me :mad: Luckily, he was happy to hang out in the bouncy seat and sleep most of the time. :laugh: Easy easy!
Tomorrow is my day off from the gym but the weather is SOOOOO nice here right now! Today it was sunny and nice out, which is a very welcome change to the crummy cold stuff we've had for far too long. I may get out tomorrow and do some cleanup in the yard depending on how sore my arms are. If not, I'll prolly load the kids in the stroller and take them for a walk to the park. Anything to get me off my butt :drinker:0 -
Oops. Went over. I don't feel TOO bad, it was a healthy day. I made roasted root veggies for dinner. I had seconds on them (they were really good!!!). And lean tri-tip. Oh. One other little thing. Some red wine. Adds up if you put 'em all together!:laugh:
get_fit. You said that just cuz I wanted to buy a nice Cabernet at the store just now, huh? But it will be a small lean pork loin chop and asparagus for me tonight with a baked apple. num. And water:drinker: maybe in a wine glass......0 -

Automobile or light truck driving for one hour........ 107
Driving heavy truck, tractor, bus.................................213 (perhaps a good choice for teaching a teen)

Three inches is AWESOME!!!!! MORE than awesome actually! WTG! I don't even want to think about teaching my kids to drive LOL I have a few years.0

cm~ LOL, I just always put that on my posts on other sites.. didn't know it was copyrighted on here I would have kept the cable too. Cable seems like my lifeline sometimes. Every once in a while, you just have to kick back and watch mind numbing entertainment... like will those people ever get off of that stupid island!
Kelleighanne - he he. Yeah, and "Survivor" starts next Thursday......I know it's always the same....beautiful drama-queens who love then hate each other whining about mosquitos in paradise. But it makes me remember paradise in the middle of the gray-long-winter. Take that cable-haters
NICE work on the Dance Dance revolution "buying" those rolls....have you met Tamtastic? She is a roll - FREAK. Totally worth it, and I'll bet you aren't even sore tomorrow.
LOL... I'm already sore.
I was talking about Lost. I haven't seen Survivor in years. Lost is... well confusing. I wish they would find a razor somewhere so Sawyer could shave LOL0 -
I'm probably going to be the sole voice on this one. I'd ditch the TV, but that's just me. If I didn't have a husband and boys who apparently need ESPN channels 1-40 or whatever it is, I'd be one of those subversive, anti-tv types. To me, it is the biggest time waster and commercials just try to convince you that you need stuff you really DON'T need.
However, things that you're not using should go, so ditch the membership and exercise in a way you enjoy.
Hope you are having a good day!:flowerforyou:
I do not even have cable! We chose internet over it. My gym pass is covered in my tuition 0 -

Ha ha, I bet if you had a HRM on it would show your heart rate was sky high and you probably burned a ton!!!! :laugh:0 -
Ok, everyone have a wonderful day! (That's an order, not a request!) :laugh:
I'm off to put some chicken breasts in the oven before I get ready for work. I have found that if I keep some cooked ones on hand to put in salads or just eat if I am starving and need some protein, it helps keep me from eating other crapola.
I am going to try to do something outside if it is as nice today as it was yesterday, so I will make that my goal for the day - to get out to get my exercise.
Happy Thursday, all! :flowerforyou:0 -
I enjoyed reading the stories!
Look forward to seeing numbers tomorrow.0 -

That does not sound fun!
I am sitting at work, bored out of my mind. I have no idea why they hired me.........
No it is not fun, I love history, but my prof gave us the questions, and I do not even know what one of them means...I do not even think we talked about it!!!
They hired you because they liked you!
That was very nice to say!
And I hate when questions came up like that!!!0 -
Happy Tuesday!
Chantybear, how'd you do on your test?
andersonchristineg - get your butt in gear girl - or I'll come put it in gear for you!! (was that tough enough love?)
cmriverside - uggghhhh, food poisoning?::sick: I had that several years ago and it is soooo miserable. I feel bad for you
Hope you're on the mend and all better soon!
Hey, for you emotional eaters... thought I'd share my tip with you. Keep a small spiral notebook on the kitchen counter close to the pantry or fridge, every time you go to the kitchen for food, write down the time and the REASON for wanting to eat. We track our calories on MFP, but not necessarily what's behind our cravings... the notebook may end up being as eye-opening as the calorie counter was when you started here!:noway: Writing it down usually makes me decide NOT to eat when I shouldn't be eating. It feels good to change my mind, and my reason for wanting to eat is sometimes embarrassing and sometimes a revelation. We can learn all sorts of good stuff in this process!
Have a great Wednesday all! Eat less, move more, be strong! No matter what we end up calling ourselves, we ARE T.H.E. Can Do Team!!:bigsmile:
That notebook idea is AMAZING!!! So many times I go to the fridge to eat and I'm not hungry and it's always crap I'm reaching for. Thank you for the AWESOME idea Lulu!!0 -
get_fit:
I spk gr8 text no woriesG'mornin' - how r u feeling?
I read everyone's posts today, and I think we are sharing some good stuff. All great ideas!
My problem today is twofold. 1.) I bought a new Speedo for SCUBA. I had to buy it online because I couldn't find a dealer anywhere near me. So I bought the size to fit according to their size chart. Well IF I lose 10-15 lbs it will work. so I hung it up in my hall where I have to see it every time I go anywhere in my tiny condo. I won't be able to afford SCUBA until I get a job, but it's only a suit - not that expensive.
Problem 2.) I'm not working and some things have to go to save money. My gym membership and my cable cost the same - $60 a month each. I want them both:sad: . One has to go. I live alone. TV is a huge comfort to me. I have DVDs to workout. I have resistance bands and a balance ball. I live right on a 40 mile long bike/walk trail. I never go to the gym - but if I didn't have TV, I would probably be there alot more. I have NO family so no one to go visit and a lonely existence. I can't decide.
My phone is going to have to go, too. (I'll keep my cell) I may sell my car, too. I just sent off a 6-month's insurance check for $469. It's bad you guys. 60,000 layoffs in my county in the last two weeks, and I'm not 25 anymore, and I don't qualify for unemployment, disability, or COBRA, so I'm paying $300 a month for health insurance.
Sorry to burden you with this. I don't expect answers - it just is a lot at once.....
Bright side, I took the ferry to the peninsula and walked on the beach - burned 400 cals and it was a gorgeous day!
Logging off till 2mro.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aw CM :frown: . If you never goto the gym then cut that, and just go outside, and or whatever there! You can buy some cheap free-weights to do some strength training still, there are lots of exercises on the internet! Good luck times like this I am even more happy I am a Canadian!
If I were you, I would cut out the gym cost ($60 a month is insane, I pay $20) and I would cut the cable too. Before you think I am crazy.... haha, get Netflix (not advertising I swear!) but its a better deal and its unlimited every month That way you save more, have access to all kinds of entertainment, and can use the outdoors to workout. Running has been the single most important thing I have done to lose weight.
Do you have Redbox's where you are? They are new here but you can rent any movie (and they have new releases) for $1!!!!0 -
Sorry, haven;t been on for a few days and just catching up.
Everyone excited for the weigh in tomorrow?
CM-my prayers are with you and I hate going to the gym-I do everything at home, so I'm with you there.
Chantybear-heard anything on your test yet?0 -
Gooooood Morning!
I'll be out most of the day ( I KNow!!). Thanks everyone for all your thoughts and kind words the last few days. I know I'll be fine.
Geez, less spending is "belt-tightening," right? And that's a GOOD thing, right Li4g? Miss tinier waist:bigsmile:
~~adam, hang in there, honey. I haven't had a Valentine since 1995 :laugh: I know it's hard when your heart is broken. But while you are working out - think how hot you will be in a few months. You will find love. It starts within, and you are working on loving YOU right now. :flowerforyou:

LOL! Ive told hubby that he can take her driving for a while. I just dont have the patience right now. She got a car and has been wanting to go everywhere. I cant wait till she has to drop money in the gas tank...:laugh: talk about a "buzzkill"0 -
Sorry guys couldnt wait till tomorrow. I normally weigh in on Wednesdays but the scale didnt budge for me yesterday. I wasnt worried about it since I dropped inches but I did step on it this morning after being very diligent about drinking my water yesterday and was happy to see another pound gone. So in the last week, Ive lost 2 pounds.
SW on 1/29: 234
CW on 2/5 : 232
Bringing me to 8lbs lost in the first 30 days yay! 0 -
I'll be using my usual Saturday morning weight this week... I've gotta leave for work around 4:30am tomorrow and my weight is ALWAYS up when I have to get up that early. Saturday I can sleep in and weigh in closer to 8am, I know I'll be much happier using that weight. Although - I'm not really expecting a loss this week - it wasn't a good one for me. 0
