Oooh, got up this morning, and can really feel my arms and chest today! I did 3 sets on the weight machines yesterday and then did an hour of water aerobics. Today I had plans to go and do the yoga/pillotes class, but I decided to wait until tonight to go to the gym. The oldest has a late swim practice, from 5:45 to 7:15. Instead of going shopping or sitting (or even worse--hitting a fast food joint to kill time--yes, this was something I did during my food bender), I can go and get in a workout.0

good morning.......
didn't do to well last night for dinner. son took us to chinese, (my fav). tried a new hole in the wall place in our town and it was very good. not as greasy as the bigger places. didn't need the bathroom again right after. something for you to look forward to pdx....
got bit by something yesterday under my eye. by bedtime my under eye was swollen and part of my cheek. woke up with it still swollen and most of the left side of my face may need to go see doctor. with my meds iam on i just can't go and get over the counter stuff. feels weird.
have a great day ladies......0 -

Good morning ladies!
Checking in today, this website wouldnt cooperate Tuesday or yesterday...anyone else have slow connections here the past 2 days?
Lost 1.2lbs from last week, have no idea how- Since last Tuesday Ive been to the gym only 3 times..and have been eating like there is no tomorrow. I mean really- no self control whatsoever...sweets, chips, fast food, ugh.. Just yesterday for lunch I ate pizza and cannolis. I believe it is stress eating- I need to work on that. Anyway, super busy with school as usual, life issues going on but hey..what doesnt kill ya only makes ya strong
Cathy- Hope you get to feeling better soon!
Pedal- Im keeping you and your family in my thoughts..I hope everything goes okay!
Katie- I am good, just very busy..Thanks for asking
And how are you!?
Shanell- Glad your in such a great mood!! It shows :bigsmile:
Kristin- Hope your quesy evenings pass soon.. I know how yucky that can feel!:flowerforyou:
Deb- How is everything with you lady?? How are you classes going??
Amy- Have a fantastic trip in San Fran!!!! Enjoy the fresh seafood!
I know I missed some people.. so I hope everyone has a great day today and stay positive!!

morning girls! I am so busy this week, school and work are out of control... but I guess it is better to be busy than bored. I have been up and down with my eating habits this week... overall I have been doing well, but last night I had pizza and I didn't work out... it is just so hard when I go to work wicked early, get home late, have to do stuff with the puppy, homework, work... dinner... by the time I get through that stuff it is 10 pm and the gym is closed :grumble: I want to try and go in the AM but I am NOT a morning person... oh well... hopefully I will be able to get into a routine soon and get back to good workouts... Katy. I had some connection problems on this site too... but today everything seems better! Congrats on the loss. :flowerforyou: Chipper. I hope your eye gets better! :flowerforyou: Bunny. Don't you love when you can feel the workout you did the day before (I love it... unless I am too sore :laugh: o well.) :flowerforyou: Hope you have a great workout tonight! nellienell. glad to here you are having a great week!!!! keep it up!!! :bigsmile: 0

Crazy busy day again today so no time to chat. BUT....I became an aunt last night!!!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:0
-
WOW! Congrats to you Kristin! How exciting to become an Aunt and a new mommy all in the same year! 2009 brings lots of wonderful things to your family! Hope they live close so you can spoil him/her rotten!0
-
Good day ladies.
Thanks for the love - we're doing much better today.
Kristin, that baby shower was right on time eh??
Great job on all the losses girls! I haven't checked in but will do so tomorrow.
I wish you all a lovely Thursday! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:0 -
So, I've made some changes to my account to reflect how things have been the last couple of months and the act of moving forward. I have bumped my stats around so that I'm starting fresh. I'm at ground zero right now and I get to work from here. The past is the past and that includes my challenges AND my successes. I'm very psychologically-oriented and I need to scrap the past and go from here. I feel good about it and honestly seeing "0lbs lost" seems to take some kind of weight off my shoulders. I am eager to move forward and see that number grow!0
-
Pedal. I am the same way... I need to move forward and start fresh from a psychological stand point... :flowerforyou: congrats on moving forward it is a such good feeling to start fresh! glad everyone is doing better today! :flowerforyou:0
-
pedal....glad everything went well. does he like his new teethies?
kistin...congrats on becoming an aunt :drinker:
redsox & pedal...fresh starts is what we need sometimes....
katy...life sure can get in the way sometimes. and never when we are ready for it...
deb, drtam, tiff, rose, bunny, katie....hope everything is going the way you want. if not it's ok, it will pass. don't give into it....
shanell...hows the early morns going?
me had a good day. talked w/sister (lives in canada) today. always nice to talk to her. she lost over 150. she is a big help to me. we are the largest in our family of 6 kids. feeling lots better today. i gave up and went and bough drugs. i haven't been taking anything for this cold. i just couldn't do it anymore, should have done this days ago. :laugh: hope i wake up feeling even better. i would like to make a gym trip.
well, off to have my night time snack. later.......0 -
Good evening girls. I had a really good dinner tonight and it was something simple. Grilled steaks and hamburgers w/ brocolli and peas and a dinner roll. I made fries for everyone, but didn't eat them. Didn't want to get up for my workout this morning, but made myself and loved the way I felt afterwards. One more day till I get a break. Going for a walk on Sat, w/ mom and Ruby from Style network, then going somewhere for lunch w/ hubby's aunt.
Glad to see people is doing alright, hope everyone has a wonderful night tonight. Later.0 -
:happy: I am soooooo very proud of all you ladies. You have done a great job with removing weight and/or realizing what you need to do to improve. I'm always impressed. :flowerforyou:
Rhiannon- glad things are okay w/ you and Leith. Starting your number over at 0 was a good idea too. Best wishes and lots of love.
Katie- thanks for checking on me. Glad to see you getting everything working for you. You will do great in the next few weeks. I've got a good feeling!!!
amylou- enjoy your trip! have a blast
Cathy and Shanell- good luck w/ the family challenge. 199 YAY!!!
Amy- glad you have your date set and that you are removing weight. Good luck
Cassie- you are doing great, glad you returned to the group and you are helping me w/ my motivation
To all the rest: Thanks for being a constant in my life!!!
Well ladies, I will weigh in tomorrow. I am excited because tomorrow 2/27 is my birthday! I will be 28. WOW, time is flying. I can remember my childhood soooo vividly. Its my first year not being busy w/ a test at school and my first year back around my family. I am excited. I am also excited that I have been jogging 2 miles every morning( well... more like M-F). It is sooooo refreshing. I hope that I continue w/ it. I have my first race a 10k at the end of March, w/ my sister, Tiff and a girlfriend from high school. Then, this is the year of my 10 yr High school reunion. I want to be proud of my accomplishments w/ my weight by the reunion (Sept 09). Whew.. Lots to say! The new job keeps me soooo busy but I have been planning my meals too. I need to start posting on the site every 2 days at least. That's my new goal. I miss you all!
Oh yeah, since I feel like I know you all personally now and we have a wonderful bond and all.....
Would anyone be interested in trying to do a race together... maybe a 5k. Somewhere, anytime this year or next. I know its a jump from posting but it would be loads of fun. Just think about it.
Take care!!
Tamm0 -
Hey ladies!! I made it to SF last night!! I hope to get on again soon and read everyones posts!
Hope you all have a good weekend!!
AmyLou0 -
Tamm, you're so motivating to me Great for you that you've signed up for a 10k! It would be so fun to meet up for a race... lots of you guys are much closer together I want to thank you again for being so supportive and available leading up to Leith's appointment. I am very serious when I say that you made a big difference in my ability to handle it and feel more prepared. :flowerforyou: :smooched:
I am so NOT caught up on personals. I'll have to try over the coming days!
Going to try to plan tomorrow's meals now so I'll check in in the morning. Taking the munchkins up to the uni again for the music department noon hour concert. Woodwind instruments tomorrow 0 -
Pedal- so glad to see you back. So glad you are past all the curveballs life has been throwing you (positive thinking).
Dr. Tamm- I am wanting to find a 5K for the late Spring or Early Summer around here. I would love to race with you, though I am not sure what type of race partner I would make. I will not be able to afford travel, probably in the next 20 years it feels, so I am looking for one super local.
Katy- it is ok, you can totally calm that stress eating. I had PASTA yesterday from Pizza Hut. But it will be ok.
Kristin- congrats!
Shanell- I am so proud of you and your early morning workouts. And making those fries and not eating any. WELL DONE! You have definitely started anew.
Well, I really need to head to bed. I am so tired! Chat later. Hugs!0 -
Man I had a rough morning. I laid in bed having an arguement with myself about working out, and it was a short workout at that! But, the good devil won and I did get up and did the WATP for a 1 mile power walk that only lasted 22 minutes, so not to bad.
I did lose on the scale this morning, so I am heading in the right direction at least. Hopefully it will stay the same or maybe it will drop a couple more by Tues's weigh in,:laugh: .
Well, gotta get to work. Have a good day ladies and thanks for rooting me on and the support, it helps.
Later.0 -
Good morning ladies!!! I got the best birthday present already! HEHE.... I weighed in at 211.5!!!
YAY, I was at 220 in the beginning of the year, 218 at the beginning of this challenge. I'm so happy to be back on track.
Katie and Rhiannon glad the race sounds interesting to you!! That sounds like fun to me. Katie don't worry, I'm sure we can find one close to you and I'm willing to do 2 or 3 just so I can meet most of you ladies all around the country. lol I do love that I get a 3 day weekend every week and starting this month I will work Mon-thurs then tues - friday. So it will give me a 4 day weekend every other week. I'll see if I like that. Well, take care ladies.
:flowerforyou:

Morning ladies! Another snow day here! The kids are happy, I'm ambivalent. I've got a couple of dozen cupcakes to make for the neighbor girl. And realized just this morning that I don't have baking cups! Ugh! I'm debating just baking them without the cups, but don't want to do this until I have the mom's ok. Giving her another half hour (in case she's sleeping in due to the snow day) before I call. I have to get them done early today (she doesn't need them until 2 pm tomorrow) because I'm driving a couple of hours away to another swim meet. Driving today, and staying there, because I don't want to get up at 4 am to be there in time tomorrow morning.
Decided I do NOT like going to the gym in the evenings. It's so much more busy, hard to find an empty locker, and hard to find an empty machine. Because it was so busy, I couldn't set the machine for an hour, only a half hour. And I had a little over an hour to kill...:grumble: Anyways, ended up getting 45 minutes of cardio.
Hope you all have a good weekend, I probably won't be on much, if at all....0 -
Tamm!! AWESOME!!!!!!!! :drinker: Nice job!!!
Bunny--I HATE going to the gym in the evening....the gym I go to is WONDERFUL in the mornings...but it completely changes in the evening. I work in a very high cost of living area, and being a "downtown" gym, there is a lot of people trying to impress...I'm born and raised country girl so I am not down with all that junk. I get up at 4:20am everyday so that when I get to the gym...its about me and not about all of the "pretty people". Plus its insanely busy...and I gotta use the machines I want and not wait.
Nellie...Congrats on your lose...seriously....the way I see it...even a .2 lb loss....is .2lbs closer to your goal!! Hey, better than a .2lb gain. hehehe. Keep up the awesome work...btw...I'm glad the good guy won and you worked out in the end!! :happy:
Hugs to you Rhiannon!
Soooooo for me....well didn't do so great on the food yesterday. I had a company meeting and they bought us sandwiches, which weren't too bad for me except the mayo....and I had a VERY small bag of Cheetos; only 160 calories....but I had a white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookie....yummm and then I had a good dinner, but snacked on chips afterwards....eek! I weighed myself just to check in and I was only up 1 lb....so since Tuesday is my offical weigh in days I have time to get myself back in the losing catagory. :bigsmile: I've been hitting the gym 5 days a week, mix of cardio and strength training. I've decided to up my cardio even if it leaves less time for my strength training (which I adore!! btw) because I have so much fat to lose. My girlfriend and I are training for a 5K run, so that is motivation knowing she is going to be checking in on me. hehehe
Food today....
Oatmeal and protein shake
Coffee with 1tsp creamer
Yogurt and FF cottage cheese
Salad with romaine, sprinkle of mozzeralla cheese
1 whole egg and 2 egg whites and asian silk spray dressing.
Apple and 1 hard boiled egg (I ran out of protein powder hehe)
I think we are having lasagna tonight, so I'll have a HUGE salad and a small piece of lasagna.
Have a wonderful day ladies!! You are beautiful...never forget it!0 -
morning girls! just wanted to check in before the weekend and say hello. I have been wicked bad, between not going to the gym and eating JUNK... not too many calories but empty JUNK. :grumble: however... it's not that bad and it is SUCH a nice day here (for Feb) so I am going to the beach for lunch with the bf and puppy and then we are going away for the weekend, hopefully a stress free weekend will help me get my eating back in control and then mondya i will start up at the gym again... i hope :blushing: anyways, i'll check in monday, Have a GREAT weekend ladies!!!! :flowerforyou:0

Hi gals! Another busy day...can you believe it?! Sorry my posting has been so minimal. But I am here and thinking of you wonderful ladies! Keep up the good work!!!
The past three days have been good ones for me. I have been feeling much better and becoming an aunt is SO exciting! Makes me anticipate becoming a mom even more! My little neice is ADORABLE!! Only 5.5 pounds and 1 month early, so she was definetely a bit of a surprise!
Well...back to some work. Have a FABULOUS weekend if I don't get a chance to chat again!0 -
Well, the scale was back down to 172 this morning and I am so happy! So, I am shooting for 170 by Tuesday. Have a great weekend ladies.
Also:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAMM! :flowerforyou:
Happy Weekend Ladies!0 -
Hey girls- wow, I've missed a lot. Sorry
PedalHound- I hope Leith is recovering well. Well done on your new start- I hope things calm down for you very soon.
Kristin- Congratulations! Wow, how exciting.
Congratulations to everyone who lost weight. All the best to everyone for the remainder of the challenge.
I'm a bit calmer now- still got loads going on but my graduation dates have been released, which proves there's an end to this madness in sight! (November 11th or 12th, they've not yet told us which faculties are graduating which days.) So it sets a definate goal to reach my final target for the end of October, so I have time to shop for my outfit :laugh: I've set some uni related goals for myself as well, so if I stick to them, I should be set. And I've roped in the uni employment bureau to help with the job hunt.
Have a great weekend everyone! :flowerforyou:
I've added some more targets for myself. The new list is as follows:
-To be 196lbs by March 30th
-To get to bed by midnight at least 4 days a week
-To do the 'couch to 5k' challenge
-To do one additional exercise a week
-To walk in heels one day a week
-To have no more than 2 caffeine fixes a day
-To write a minimum of 3500 words per week on my uni work
Plus I'm placing myself on a 'money diet' as well.
It'll be tough, but I need to be hitting these targets and I need the discipline in my life 0 -
Tudor- good on you for enlisting the resources available to you from the uni. Very nice goals you have set for yourself. I especially like the wearing heels once a week. Now, I am curious if this is a ploy to burn more calories while walking or if you just need to feel like a girl more often? I love heels, but rarely get to wear them, especially since breaking my ankle last year, it is very difficult.0
-
All through sixth from and most of my first year at uni, I spent so much time in heels, it hurt to wear flats. I'd just trained my leg muscles to that position. My calves were nicely toned without any work from me. I have a wealth of shoes, mostly heeled, and I've spent 2 years mainly in Converse. It's time to get back into heels, so I can wear them when I start working properly. Plus, at 5'4", I could use the help :laugh: So it's a bit of toning, a bit of feeling feminine, a bit of acquiring an old skill- and a bit to give my shoe addiction a reason to exist 0

Hey Ladies!!! I'm trying to get better about posting! I had a good birthday, ate at a restaurant called Cous Cous, it was very tasty. Then I opened presents and came back home to play w/ dylan( my lab). The cake was WONDERFUL, it had 4 flavors, carrot, chocolate, yellow and red velvet. I enjoyed tasting the pieces but only had a little because I loved the new number on the scale more than I love my cake. :laugh:
Anyway,
Cathy- love the new picture
Lauryn- how are you
Tudor- glad you have some goals set for yourself. I think you have it all figured out.
Amy- hope things are going well
Robin- how are you doing??
Everyone
I'll check back in later.
:flowerforyou: Thanks for being such a wonderful group to share with.
