    Ladies,

    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:

    Week 6: 269.0

    Lynda,

    I am not feeling bad this time.. I was not eating very healthy though... and im confused how my scale turns... It happens every week on wednesday...

    Early morning, before i take food i do the weigh in..and generally i would be on higher side (today i was 159)... then i just cant control to re confirm again... so i take my breakfast and after a while i go and weigh in again and I was 157.6.. this is the weight which remains...lol.. Even today i did the same... so when should i weigh in, i thought most ideal would be in the morning before taking any food... Confuseddddddddd :huh:

    I stayed the same again:( this is why i stopped doing weight watchers. i am happy that i have stayed the same, because that means my eating is in check, but it just goes to show how much more i need to get to the working out!

    My NSV of the day:

    I'm currently at my work board meeting. It's a big deal, lots of food and meetings. Anyways, today we went out for dinner and the options were amazing! The old Lynda would have over indulged, over eaten and felt bloated. The new Lynda made healthy choices all day to save some calories up for the entree I really wanted (pork wellington - delish!) and was very careful with what I ate at dinner. We had shared appetizers and in the past I totally filled up on them plus ate my meal and dessert. Today, of the 5 appies brought out i had 1 of each. Just a sample to be a part of the experience but no gorging. Then I had the salad with minimal dressing. Ate and thoroughly enjoyed my entree (asked to sub additional veggies for potaotes to avoid the starch) and had 2 biteed of dessert. And I drank water. I am full but not stuffed and compeltely satisfied with te exeperience. I did my best to fill in my diary and based on what I entered I came in under my calorie goal, although some were rough estimates so that may not be exact. Either way, I'm really proud of me because I had been stressed that I would fall apart when I was dining out, espcially in a work environment as it can be a rather intimidating "social" evening. But it was great!

    Also, one of my directors (whom I 've known for years) commented that I looked like I have been "taking really good care" of myself. Which I know was his way off commenting on my weight loss. (and I should mention that this was not at all creepy, just him paying a compliment) he is not usually an overly complimentary guy so I was and am very flattered.

    Now, i have to try and sleep. HA! I don't sleep well in hotels at the best of times but esp since this is my first over night away from my son, it's gonna be extra hard. Nevertheless,i've got a full day tomorrow with more meetings and we start early.

    g'nite all!

    Karie

    Renu- I am so happy you didn't gain a bunch while on Vaca, thats great!

    Lynda- I Love it "samers" -2.4lbs!!!! Awesome NSV!! You did great with al those termptations, I can relate with my work trip last week and it is hard to resist!

    Deanna- I am sorry you have hit a wall with losing this week but I bet either next week or the week after the loss will show.

    linlake- Great Job not gaining on your Vaca that is hard to do!! Welcome back!

    Ladies,

    I want to share something here... Due to my foot infection, I am taking tablets one of which is steroids and I had chances of gaining weight short term.. I am surprised I am not, in fact i was expecting that I would gain weight.. I think its all because of exercising and diet.. Now I realize, where did all the calories burned last week go?? lol..

    I weighed in again today and I am at 157.6 which means that I have lost 0.8 lbs..Yay!!!

    Hi ladies,
    My internet is back on!! Yay!! I was so lost without it! I missed you ladies, how has it been going? Today I had more of a rest day. I did unload some bricks from the car it took 3 wheelbarrel trips. So that was a little workout. I am thinking about posting a new thread for those of you who want to continue the challenge. We will change it up a bit and add some new things. I will do it sometime this week, anyway hope you all have a great evening!

    SAHMU 60 Day Challenge
    Final Week

    Ok, girls, I'm a little behind on reporting due to my trip but I'm back at ready to go. Here's my note to catch you all up on my goals and efforts thus far this week.

    Cardio part 2: ( 1 point)
    My goal is to rebuild the strength in my ankle through walking. I plan to walk every day, but I will not over commit to a certain amount of time or calories burned as I don't want to push too hard and do further damage. I commit to walking until I feel discomfort whether that be 2 minutes or 2 hours.
    Wednesday- Goal completed!
    Thursday- Goal complted!
    Friday- (goal in progress - went for a walk at lunch and will probably walk more this evening.)
    Saturday-
    Sunday-
    Monday-
    Tuesday-

    Strength:( 4 different strength workouts = 4 points)

    Calistenics everyday! 50 situps, 50 Pushups, 50 leg raises/ leg and 50 reverse crunches! Will modify and add in more exercises as I am able but don't want to commit to anything that will strain the left ankle so no jumping jacks or stairs for me yet.
    Wednesday- complete
    Thursday - complete
    Friday- complete

    Emotional challenge: (1 point)
    What has this challenge meant to you? How has it helped you? Anyone that stands out on your team?

    This challenge has meant a lot to me. More than I can articulate without first putting significant thought into it. This is not my answer, merely my place holder until I formulate the words.

    *** I hope it is okay with everyone that I am not commiting to a specific number for my calorie burn goal. I just don't want to set the bar too high and feel like I failed, or too low to the point where it is embarrassing. I'm more than a little bummed about the expected 2 week recovery time for my stupid twisted ankle, but I don't want to drop out of the last week of the challenge because then I know I'll be even more depressed. I'm tryng to focus on doing the best I can with exercise and being very careful with portions and calorie intake. ***

    Today I worked out like crazy! I decided to create an awesome homemade sidewalk off our back deck. I harvested rocks from a mountain near our house. That was alot of up and down the mnt with heavy rocks, then I brought them home unloaded them and got busy digging a trench to put in some boarder bricks I had purchased. I then dug out and arranged the different rocks. I thought I would get alot further but it is about 1/4 of the way done! So I will be back at it probably Monday.
