Happy Birthday!!!!!It's my birthday!
And I am going to be over calories, but that is OK! My mini-goal for today was met, so I deserve a bit of birthday cake, don't you think? I just won't go crazy. Just a teeny tiny piece. :grumble: :happy:0 -
Welcome back Jenn!
My thanks also to PositivePower for contacting me.
August was a crazy month personally. Glad to be in September! I have only gotten back to MFP the last few days. My weight this morning was 179.4. I am pretty sure I had gotten you my other stats when they we're due on 8/25.
Thanks again!0 -

Ok last day to get everything in for Weeks 5, 6, and 7. After this week, I will need to remove those that have not reported in order to keep everything manageable and get things out to you all in a more timely manner.
I am leaving for a couple days (Thurs evening - Sunday afternoon) so I want to be able to post EVERYTHING for Week #8 at the appropriate time.
Week 8 weigh in's are due Fri 9/16-Sun 9/18. I will try to get everything in and up by Sunday night so that we can get these challenges BACK ON THE ROAD!!!
You all inspire me! Thank you so so so so so so much for all of your support, kind words, encouragement, help, and most of all, friendship during the last couple of weeks. I hate when life gets in the way of living but with people like you all surrounding me, there's nothing better!!!!

So glad to see our group reforming!!!! i myself had noticed the thread not as long as they usually are, but i knew everyone was having it rough with all this hectic weather!!! So glad everyone is returning and life is startting to get normal for most of you again!!!
Im just finished day 5 of the 30 day shred and OMG!!! im not sore anymore but i still have to stick with beginer moves and find it hard to do all the jumping jacks and jump roping. I guess i was alot more out of shape than i thought, but i am not giving up!!!
jenn i cant wait to see what your returning challenge will be!! i think i speak for all of us when i say having someone tell us what to do and knowing we will have to report in is what we all need right now!!!!0 -
Hey CCC - Hope all is well, I am on the road not home until Friday, so I will weight Saturday AM. I am so proud to say I have done good today, brought some snacks, and enjoyed a good lunch. Then I made SURE I got in my exercise. The only good thing about traveling is my hotel is on the beach so that's where I enjoyed my walk/run.
Tomorrow I have a co worker girl friend joining me but we will still walk...however a nice dinner and wine my be involved. Tonight I got back late from my walk and wanted to see Survivor so I just ate some healthy snacks and am gonna hit the sack.
I feel like I am really forming some great new habits, but it is really one day at a time. So nice to have Jenn back. Have fun while you are away

I'm so happy and relieved to have you back Jen! You did a great job on the chart and I look forward to closing this thread and start a new one, with a new challenge. I have to admit that I was beginning to fade in motivation. Sooooo, happy that you are back!
On a personal note, I've had a cold for a few weeks now, that has been dragging on... But today I go for a scope... I am not allowed to eat or drink until then... it is now 9:30 in my world and I don't go in until 12:30. I'm not hungry or worried about food, but am dying to have some water... My throat is so itchy... my nose is plugged up... I can't take no meds no nothing.... I told them I had a cold and they said that was fine... We'll see what happens..
Anyhow, I just had to share with someone.0 -
Urgh,
I am up to 217.8 lbs again...
If I keep it up I will back to 250 in no time. I have to get my @ss in gear ASAP.. I will not hit 220 again.
Onward and downward to 199.
Ok Peeps, I have been really depressed this last while and have fallen off the preverbial wagon and have eaten my sorrows away. I have started a new vitamin regiem that will allow me to be happier and get back on track. I am really hoping that the B12 will help my energy level. I am also taking something for deppression and hormones. I have seen the scale increase again for a total gain of 13 lbs from the lowest I managed to get to. I am trying to be completely honest with everyone in hopes that this will help me be accountable for my poor decisions.0 -

The time has come to depart for the weekend! We are going camping again My 3 year-old loved it so much the first time I had to take her back again before it got too cold. Besides, with all of the power and internet issues and all the other fun stuff lately, it feels like we've been living in the woods anyway, lol :laugh: :laugh: :grumble:

Pumpkin Pie Spice Latte:
Ingredients:
2 cups milk (i used unsweetened vanilla almond milk)
2 tablespoons of organic canned pumpkin
2 tablespoons of sugar or sugar substitute (i used truvia and only used 1 tablespoon)
2 tablespoons of vanilla extract (i just poured some in)
1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice(i would use a little less...the ginger flavor was a little overpowering)
1-2 shots of espresso(about 1/4 cup of espresso or 1/2 cup of really strong brewed coffee(this is what i did) if you dont have an espresso machine)
Directions:
in a saucepan combine milk, pumpkin, and sugar...cook on med. heat, stirring until steaming. remove from heat, stir in vanilla & spice, transfer to blender and process for 15sec. until foamy or if you dont have a blender just whisk really well with a wire whisk. if you use the vanilla unsweetened almond milk...its only about 140 calories for the whole thing! 8carbs, 2g protein, 5g sugars(from pumpkin & a little whipped cream-depending on how much you use could change that amount), 7g fat(from the almond milk) pour into a large mug or two mugs. add espresso or strong coffee on top.
***top with whipped cream and sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg or cinnamon on top0 -
