Sixers INCHING Down Week ~~4

Bumping. Changing weigh in until Friday this week. went on a total binge last night, but getting my mind and body back on track toady, hoping emotions follow. That might have to wait until visit with "mommy dearest" is over.

Thank you all so much for being so wonderful. It is great to have you lovely ladies. You are awesome and encouraging and all around the best!

I get my hubby back tonight, so that will help. I think I'm giving myself a "diet break" for right now and just concentrating on healthy choices rather than intake versus output. Need to get back into being balanced and stop doing my ALL OR NOTHING attitude. Can't say that the scale is going to like it, but maybe I'm just not gonna like the scale

To work for me, then bible teaching. I will say, with family gone, my house has stayed clean for 24 hours. Kind of cool. And with my binge last night, all processed junk is now "cleaned" from the house. Now I just need a body cleanse. Then cycle class with body pump class. Then to airport to pick up hubby. Ready, set....GO!!!

Good morning ladies!!

Your weigh-ins are looking pretty good! I think I might add myself back onto the lists now that you know what to expect from me!
I'm up a total of 4.5 pounds, a little more than I wanted. Felt a little better yesterday evening...SO ready to be out of this first trimester! I did exercise last night. Did my Lindsay Brin's Prenatal strength/cardio first trimester workout. Tonight the plan is some yoga! AND I was able to cook some chicken last night, which I haven't been able to do the past few weeks because it would make me sick! YAY...there is an light at the end of the tunnel!!!

Have a wonderful day gals and I'll check back later!!

Has this ever happened to you:
You feel bloated so you decide not to weigh, afraid of the number on the scale, but then find out that it isn't bad, sometimes good.
Then there are days you wake up feeling "skinny", step on the scale and the numbers are up.
I hate the days where I am feeling skinny and end up with a "bad" number because it really messes with my head.

Binged badly on Tuesday night, and then ended up not eating at all yesterday until hubby got back in town and we sat down to dinner at 8:30 p.m. Even did a cycle class and body pump, and never felt hungry and didn't realize I hadn't eaten one calorie all day, but I was super thirsty. Maybe it was all the salty goodness I had the night before. Who knows, maybe it evened things out. Going to weigh in on Friday and let my TOM pass, so no weigh-in today.

jdklove18 - no worries. more than likely it's a lot of water retention and you can work that off in no time.

Cathy - always an inspiration.

Kristin - It's awesome how you want to stay healthy and active during pregnancy. There was a woman in the body pump class last night at least 7 months pregnant and lifting more than me on squats and shoulders. WOW! You can do this! Running after Kadence will also be your inspiration.

Em - Miss you. Hope you are having a blast.

Tiff - Great to have you back.

AFM: Today a little running and then Body Attack class, to daughter's school to volunteer (excited as this is my first time in the middle school), home to prepare dinner, then to pick up daughter (might walk to son's school), then pick up son, then home to prepare for our bible meeting tonight, eat dinner, wash up, and go to our meeting. Maybe a 30 minute nap? Hubby is back so I am a happy lady. Hopefully I can keep that feeling even through my mother's impending visit on Friday and not eat myself senseless.

Have a wonderful day everyone (I swear sometimes I'm schizophrenic)

Morning!

I'm at home today with Kadence (her daycare provider is having gallbladder surgery today so I'm home today and Friday, my husband is home tomorrow). Started the day off BAD...laying on the couch, ate leftover pizza for lunch...lazy, lazy, lazy...but think I've redeemed myself. Just did my Prenatal Stregth/cardio workout AND my prenatal Yoga workout! YAY!! Now feeling good! Stinky (I haven't showered yet), but good! Trying to figure out what to make for dinner this evening...I have NO idea yet! Maybe some lasagna...mmmm...

Oh! Cathy...I tried the chocolate rice cake topped with cool whip and froze it...YUM!!!! It was so good! Now have some graham crackers with cool whip in the freezer!! Can't wait for that treat tonight!

Well...glad my workout is in...still might go for a walk later since it's BEAUTIFUL outside today! Oh...and I got a run in yesterday! Felt great! BUT, my doctor said I should try and keep my heart rate under 140, which is almost IMPOSSIBLE when I run! It's usually around 165. So, I would run, my HR would reach 165, then I'd walk until it was back down to around 130, then run until it was 165, etc, etc...hope this is safe. I will ask next time I go in for a check up. Felt fine, so I'm sure it probably is. Kind of bummed I can't run as much though. Oh well...

Anyways...gotta go shower before Kadence wakes up from her nap. Have a great day ladies!!

Hi All - I miss you guys! I will be back Saturday night (I am still in Poland now). It has been a great trip, and I have done a TON of walking and stairs... lots and lots of stairs...over 1000 yesturday.... anyways I have also been drinking a lot of beer... so it will be a toss up - hoping for a loss on Tuesday.

I will check in early next week - can't wait to catch up.

Morning ladies!!!

Thanks for the birthday wishes! Had a great Friday off with my baby girl! Got in a good workout and got a bunch of stuff done around the house. Then we went out for dinner and I endulged in some chocolate cake (it was my birthday! I had to!) Then Saturday I took a day off from exercise, picked my mom up from the airport (she was in Canada) and spent some time with her. Sunday I went for a run and then had a lazy movie day with my sister!


Have a great day all!
