    I maintained... No change in weight at all. This morning my kids woke me up at 5:00. They've both been on antibiotics for an illness for around 5 days. For some reason, my little one had a high temperature, and my 8 year-old had itchy bumps on her body. She's had the chicken pox vaccination, so I have no clue what it is... I'm so tired, and my hubby is getting ready to leave today for 5 days of training. I don't know what to do... AAAAAHHhhhhhhh!!!

    Where is everyone? I know it was kinda hard to spot the thread just cause I always look for pumpkinheadsmomma in the posted by section. Come on everyone! Also Ariel I am totally happy with 2 lbs. I just feel like maybe it could have been more if those factors weren't there. Good for you with another 2 lbs.

    I'm still here, but dealing with super sick kids... I thought they were getting over whatever they had, but now it's something new. My 8 year-old is having an allergic reaction of some sort, so we're taking her in to see out family doctor. I'll check on everyone later...
  • Hello Everyone, Im here just been super busy. Got back from Chicago and had school right away. Then last night I tried to go to bed early so I could weigh in and workout before class but my neighbors across the hall were having a lovers quarrel apparently, til 5 am :mad: It amazes me because they are only 18 yrs old and have a 3 yr old, poor thing. It got to the point where I had to call the police!

    Anywho, no weigh in but I did just come back from a run :drinker: . I really had to force myself because I am so tired and just feel lazy today.

    Great job everyone on there way in! I will get my numbers in tomorrow.

    Resa I hope your little ones feel better !

    Christine- do you find that once you get far enough along on the couch to 5k you hate running any less? :laugh: Let me tell you I really have to push myself to run, I absolutely HATE it :noway:

    Hi everyone, I'm still around. I still have no scale so I have no idea what I weigh. My clothes feel good though so that's something! I definitely have to go out and get a scale one of these days!

    Life is still handing me lemons. I'm not a happy camper at all. My whole life is turning upside down and I think I have to find a new place to live. I love my man so much, but sometimes love just isn't enough. :brokenheart:

    I hope everyone has a really good week this week and I swear as soon as I buy that scale, I will let you know how much I've lost (cuz i'm really really hoping I'm still losing!)

    We are all thinking of you Jen :heart: , I do have to say though what doesnt kill you only makes you stronger. I know it may seem like the whole world is lemons but everything happens for a reason and pretty soon your lemons will be turned into sweet lemonade :wink: Hang in there! :flowerforyou:

    Hey all. I had a horrible day today. My 8 year-old, Shaylynn, had a severe allergic reaction to the antibiotic she's been on for the last 8 days. Out of nowhere, she broke out in a rash and I had to take her to the family doctor's. He just said to stop giving her the antibiotic and to give her some Benadryl. 2 hours later I was in the E.R. with Shaylynn, because her hives got worse and she started to have other symptoms. I stayed at the hospital with her for over 5 hours.

    Her little sister, Aleena, is on antibiotics, too. While I was in the hospital with Shay, Aleena ended up having a high temperature. My mom called me while I was at the E.R. and told me that she had to give her Motrin and Tylenol in order to get it to drop. To top things off, my husband just left today for training, and will be out of town for the next 5 days.

    Shaylynn's doing much better, but looks like a big hive. Aleena's temperature is down now, too, and both are sleeping in my room tonight. Needless to say, I am not working out tonight, and have a feeling tomorrow will be a no-go too. I don't want to say it, but I'm probably going to have to do this week over for my P90X program. I just don't know how I'm going to be able to work out these next few days.

    Thanks for letting me vent to you all-I hope you had a better day than I did... Where were all the leprechauns?!!! I thought today was supposed to be lucky!!!:explode:

    I didn't get to post yesterday, but I haven't lost any. I pretty much stayed the same. I have really noticed that in the past week i haven't been eating as clean as I was. I'm still not eating completely horrible, but no where near where I should be! The worst part is I haven't worked out since I was sick, which was right at 2 weeks ago. That's horrible! For some reason i feel like i am starting to slow down. I just feel like I don't want t do anything. Does anyone know if there is such a thing as sympathy tiredness????? It's the only thing I can think of!
  • I am sorry everyone is not having a good week. I am not so much either, I had a really bad eating wk last wk and just started working out again yesterday. Maybe its the limbo where we are waiting for spring, maybe its the St. Paddy's day blues....:grumble: Let me tell you I didnt go to class yesterday or this morning so I know how you all feel....

    We will pull through this though! If you are unable to work out try to stay within your calorie range. This will still help you lose but at a much slower rate.

    Resa- dont forget everytime you pick up your little sick ones it is a tiny workout

    Mister- This probably sounds like a crazy idea.....:frown: But since i missed 2 wks on P90x I am starting over. It helps me to get a new mind set when I start a new. And maintaining is better than losing dont forget!

    Pep- hang in there, I drank entirely too much this wkend so Im pretty sure i was dehydrated when I weighed myself it really makes a difference
  • Ok so I was just thinking :noway: ....scary I know... but in the midst of our group's "rut", to get things kick started again, how about we each commit to doing something small that wont take much time.

    How about today we each get in 50 crunches? I have class and then work till midnight so I will not be able to do them until I am tired and get home from work :frown: but I commit to my sisterhood to do 50 crunches today!

    Then we can each report back that we accomplished the goal for today! :bigsmile:

    yeah im hanging...by a thread but im hanging. i know we all know my motto but even im thinking this is rediculous im just frustrated i feel like i work out at least 5 days a week at least 30 min cardio and other stuff and ive been eating well (well better for me) and i cut out cheese i want to see those results.


    slow and steady i know but sometime ur cheerleader gets bummed and needs cheering :sad:
  • I know how you feel pep, it takes forever!

    I was really bummed this morning but I read other posts and decided to measure myself, sometimes the inches come off before the lbs. I am not sure if you are like me but I am out of shape, so as I am working out more and lifting weights that flabbyness is turning to muscle which in turn makes us lose inches but not necessarily weight.

    You are totally correct slow and steady....this too shall pass! :flowerforyou:

    Hey everyone... I think I'm going to have to repeat my 8th week of P90X-my 8 year-old had a severe reaction to an antibiotic and we've been between our Dr. and the E.R. and they might admit her tomorrow if she hasn't improved... Poor kid looks like she has nothing but hives instead of actual skin... Our little one is sick, too. Needless to say, I haven't worked out and don't think I will be for a couple of days... I'll keep you all posted.

    Good news and bad... My husband came home early from training as soon as he heard that she might be hospitalized. It's bad because he might still have to go again if she's better by Thursday evening or Friday morning, and I think it'll break her heart if he leaves again. My little one is sick again, too. I just don't know what to do right now.:brokenheart:

    Resa....take deep, cleansing breaths. Remember your Lamaze breathing? (if you took it)...LOL...sometimes, it really does help with other "stresses". Prayer is another amazing tool we have to help us through tough times...and you always have us!! :flowerforyou: Besides, repeating the week, no big deal...just don't quit!! :happy:

    :smile: Kacee says hello!! She misses everyone :heart: (I'm sure she'd be shaking her pom-poms right now for the TEAM if she was on here) and is trying to keep it all in balance with the baby cows, down computer, eating, and exercise (which has been subject to jumping up on and off her horse, prodding momma cows~which means carrying a BIG stick~ while her husband tags the babies and other misc. "ranch chores") She wants you all to know that she misses you and can't wait to get on here again!! :wink:

    Keep focused on the prize...there's nothing more devastating than to know that you were "almost there" when you tripped and fell. Falling (or the feeling of defeat) isn't the problem, it's the not getting back up and forging forward that's the problem!! Push through this slump...don't wallow in it...that's what got us here in the first place...complacency!! We deserve more...so let's give us one of the most precious gifts we can give ourselves....DETERMINATION, PERSEVERANCE and/or PERSISTANCE!! Which, in turn, leads to more healthy lives...and life...ah, now that's a great gift!! :flowerforyou:

    Proper
    Planning
    Prevents
    Poor
    Performance

    I know we can't "plan" for the bad stuff that life throws our way...but we can plan for how we will react to them so that they don't totally derail us from our goals. Choose JOY.:laugh: ..that's right, it's a choice. Our mind is powerful, God wasn't messing around when He created it...so use it to determine your steps, your plan of action and as your defense against the slumps of life/weight loss.

    :happy: YOU (we) can do this!! STAY STRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!:happy:

    I can't wait to tell Kacee how this team rallied around and ended up with a GREAT week!!! :drinker:

    *If this was too long, or offended anyone...I'm sorry, it was just on my heart...so it came out my fingers!!*
  • Kristi - Thank you :heart: We really needed that! I in fact read your post and planned my whole day of eating healthy and staying within my calories. :smile:

    Resa- Try not to worry about having to repeat the wk, you have been doing great so far and everyone has set backs, like Kristi said just don't quit! :drinker: Once your little ones feel better get right back up on the horse (literally for Kacee :laugh: ) and go at it again.

    We have all been successful so far this is just a little bump in the road :sad: So now we have to overcome and get back up! :drinker:

    Hey everyone-good news... My daughter doesn't have to be admitted to the hospital today, but they're going to continue her on steroids over the weekend to make sure that her reaction if fully countered. Her face is much better now, and the swelling has gone down in her joints. The swelling in her joints was so bad that we've had to carry her to the bathroom, and she can't walk, she's in so much pain. She also had some bruising because of it.

    My husband's unit said that it's okay for him to miss training, and so he's going to stay at home with us through it all. I am so thankful to have him home. When I was at the E.R. the other day, Shay looked up at me with tears in her eyes and said, "I want Daddy to be here", and it just broke my heart. Now both girls are getting spoiled rotten by everyone in the family, including daddy...

    I'm not giving up and will continue on with P90X and the whole clean eating-I WILL LOSE THE WEIGHT that I have committed myself to. It's just a matter of what has already been said-I need to plan as much as I can, and be optimistic when things come up and make it near impossibel to continue. Thanks for all the kind words of support, and I'll be back soon.:heart:
