    Hi Ladies,
    Lynda,
    again I am so sorry for your pain but it will pass and you will get back on your feet! You are here to stay on are team until the end! You a rock solid part of this team, we need you!

    Renu,
    When I was 18 I went to San Antonio for vaca and that river walk is really beautiful!! Enjoy it, what a pretty place to walk.

    Deanna,
    I feel so tired tonight too! I think staying active even just with being busy all day is great! Hope you get a good workout in tomorrow, I know it is hard for you to get to the gym with no car but you can do this!

    Today I went to my sisters for a bbq, I had grilled chicken (Yay) but I caved on the chips and salsa, they are my favorite! I knew we were going there today so I just had a protien bar for lunch so my calories should be good. We also moved a bunch of stuff out to our garage today from the house so I burned calories doing that for sure, after dinner my 3 sisters and I went on a 25min walk so that was a plus too! I hope you all had a great day!

    Ladies,

    I am back and vacation was awesome!! Yes Karie, River walk was fantastic...

    Will be back on track from tomorrow... I am not waiting for this week's weigh in, im totally scared that I'm gonna weigh more... It was so hard to find something veggie outside and that finding a healthy meal was challenging... exercise wise, i was good..but food wise i dont know... few of the times, i did manage to eat healthy but not always...

    Howz everyone doing??

    Bad day today for me, I feel discouraged and just plain unmotivated! I am going to go for a walk now and I really hope that helps because today is probably one of my worst days so far. I ate pizza for dinner, that didn't help. I was also super cranky and so was my son today. :grumble: :explode:

    I am FREAKING OUT about weighing in on Wednesday since I spent the weekend mainly sitting on my butt :noway: But, on the plus side I am getting around without crutches. Also, I managed to stick to 1300 calories a day which was hard because I have been hungrier/snackier in the last 2 days then i have been in months. Goes to show how much my desire to eat is tied to my mood. Tomorrow I'm back to work and I'm actually relieved just because it will get me out of the house and back to my normal eating schedule. I have been so bored for the last few days of being laid up. My son was super whiny today because he couldn't understand why I wasn't chasing him around the way I usually do. Not that I was ignoring him or anything, I just couldn't roll around on the floor with him. Normally our playtime is very active so I think he was confused...

    but tomorrow is a new day! I'm gonna be faithful to my eating plan and squeeze in some slow, easy calorie burns where and when I can. I hope everyone has a great day tomorrow!

    sounds like you had a very active wknd! good for you! and sometimes, when we are out, we don't have control over the food selection. I'm sure you did the best you could so try not to worry! Glad to hear you had a good time!

    You are going to burn tons of calories chasing them around! Sounds like you may have missed workouts this weekend but you were super busy so I am sure you burned some calories. Have fun tomorrow.

    I am so proud of you for staying positive! Here I am complaining about my day and you just keep pushing forward. Great job on keeping to your calorie goal that would take alot for me because I too am an emotional eater for sure. Have a great day at work tomorrow and I am sure using those crutches are using some muscles your not used to so thats a plus. LOL

    I'm super pumped ladies! I picked up the ReCleanse 7 day cleanse and I am planning to start it on Friday. It is a gentle, all natural liver and colon cleanse and it got great reviews online (plu sit was affordable which for me is a big deal) I'm starting Friday for 2 reasons:
    1) this will give me time to grocery shop for the appropriate food items. Gerneally speaking I am obviously eating very healthy right now but one of the things I really like about this particular program is it gives you an eating guide for best results.
    2) I have a 2-day board meeting Wed & Thurs this week and I do not want to be excusing myself constantly due to my need to... ahem... cleanse...

    So anyways, I'm still freaked out about tomorrow's weigh in but I feel a little more in control of the sitaution since I know that this is my plan for the following week. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

    Also, I'll do my best to log in Wed/Thurs but it might be infrequent. I will weigh in tomorrow but I'm not sure how quickly I'll be able to report it. Karie, I may just have to send you a note sometime throughout the day and have to rely on you to update the spreadsheets for me, if you don't mind. Thanks!

    Lynda

    ps: karie, cute new pic! your son is crazy cute!

    I have to agree, I'm defnatetely not excited about the weigh in tomorrow. I haven't lost any weight in like 3 weeks and I'm pretty sure tomorrow is gonna be the same. But i just hope its not a gain! I know why, it's cuz i haven't put in as much workouts like i was before school started. But i just gotta figure out a routine! My first day of work was great! But I've had such an emotional day I know TOM's coming too Or i think my body is so messed up still without being on bc pills. But we'll just see how tomorrow is!

    Ladies,

    Goal from tomorrow- I am going to start 15 days core program to reduce my tummy, lets see how it works starting from tomorrow... Weight wise, I am already in the ideal weight zone, though on a higher side, need to get back my flat tummy...

    For no reason, was feeling so lazy today to exercise.. I am doing some research work. which needs to be completed in 2 days, so i was in front of my laptop for most of the day.. Weather was better today, just took a walk up to the mail room..

    Catch you all tomorrow...

    Starting: 261
    Starting SAHMU: 241
    Week 7: 227.5
    Weekly +/- : -2.4lbs
    Total +/- : -33.5lbs!

    OMG!!!!! I did not believe for even a second that Iw ould have lost! I was just hoping and prayingt hat I hadn't gained seeing as I had been unable to workout. I am so proud of myself! And so thankful to you guys for keeping me motivated. It goes to show the power of controlling your calorie intake because this 100% attributed to portion size and healthy choices. I am so motivated right now! And the timing couldn't be better because I have a 2day board meeting and I know that the food I will be exposed to is gonna be anything but healthy but this totally inspires me to make the best decisions I can. yay!!!

    I don't have the spreadsheet links saved on this computer, so Karie, can you please input my numbers. 2.4lbs loss. points for nutrition, commitment and strength (I feel like I completed the challenge even tho I had to modify a few moves to take pressure off my ankle).

    I hope everyone else's weigh in goes well! :flowerforyou:

    I'M BACK!!!!!! Vacation was longer than planned. But I am here. I need to catch up with everyone and see how you've all been.
    Well I weighed in this morning and I have to tell you, I'm actually happy. I had 4 days of vacation of bad eating and being lazy and I didn't gain anything. I would have loved a loss, but no gain is just as good with how this weekend went.
    Here are my numbers

    Starting: 288
    Week 5:268.0
    Week 6: 269.0
    Week 7: 269.0
    Total: 0
