Way to go on the challenges.. And yes you may.. I take any suggestions.. I incorperate push ups in there some how this week..
Loveme- Great Dedication. And thank you. Its just that they cant seem to keep their nose out of my business. We moved out of their house a year and a half ago, and they still have to know our business. I hate it!
nursee- keep up the good work. Sorry I was mia.. I was dealing with some issues with the inlaws. Plus Ive been fighting my allergies & a couple migraines.. not been fun.
Bj- I hope you enjoyed your trip to the gym. When I had my gym pass. i went for 3 hours at a time. Lots to do there, and when you have fun with it, times just flies.. although you didnt lose any weight.. Atleast you lost an inch.. keep it up.. It will happen.
khoran45- Keep up the good work. Dedication is what it takes..
Molly- Happy to see you in the group.. love it!! Ive missed ya! Do what challenges you can hun. Even if you dont lose, feeling great is a majority of the battle.
Whew FINALLY caught up. Sorry ladies for the absence.. I had a horrid week. Between dealing with the situatoin with the inlaws.. then my allergies were acting up, and I had a migraine. Ugh. Time to dust the knees off and move past that.. Onward I go. Thinking of going back to one of the places I want to take pictures at walking around. maybe do some nature shots.. I need to get my butt to work on the walking and crunches and lunges.. ehh.. 0 -
Okay... ready to join in! :happy: I have been hovering around 166# for AGES, it seems! Well, I finally have movement on the scale again! YAY! :bigsmile: 164# looked great when it popped up on the scale!! :drinker: I am looking forward to being in the 150's - hopefully by Thanksgiving. The closer I get to my goal weight, the slower the weight comes off. However, I figure that's okay... as long as I'm going in the right direction and don't let the everyday struggles of life distract me from my goal of being healthy. It would be SO easy to go back to my old eating patterns and life as a sloth! :laugh:
I am now getting rid of the jeans I bought just 3 months ago. It kills me cuz they cost so much - but I am giving them to someone that will appreciate them! :happy: I only keep 2 sizes of pants in my closet now. And can I just say how good it feels to actually NEED a belt again?! :bigsmile: It's a wondeful NSV!
Still working with the Slave Driver and am determined to find a way to see her once a month after "my ex-bf paid time" with her is up. I think I'll be able to work it into my budget, but it'll be tight! It has worked wonders for me; having someone to be accountable to.
Ladies: Keep up the good work! So impressed with all of you!
Happys for today:
1) Down 2# :drinker:
2) Son goes back to school on Tuesday! :happy:
3) Have a free day to sew! (Making new scrub tops for work.)0 -
321blueeyes....regarding you changing up the spreadsheet...
NO, UNACCEPTABLE, HOW DARE YOU!!!
Whatevers! Have at it. The spreadsheet is meant to be helpful to everyone, so, if there's an obvious change that needs to happen feel free to do it.0 -
Hope you're all having a great weekend. My hubby has been home, which is really nice, but also can be boring as he loves to play video games and I'm stuck in my room watching tv and playing on my laptop. I know, we suck. But at lesat I've been running. Got my 11 mile run in yesterday and then an easy 3 today. Taking tomorrow off, even though I don't have to work, it will be nice to have a day to do what I want. Hubs will leave for work in the afternoon and I will need to do laundry but that's about it. Maybe I'll even take a bike ride if I want, we'll see what the weather does.
Anyway, happy long weekend to us Americans... I love holidays on Mondays!!!!0 -

Anyway, happy long weekend to us Americans... I love holidays on Mondays!!!!

Happy Monday to all my friends! It is Labor day...some of you have it off, some have to work. I was lucky enought to be called off...low census can be your friend too! haha!
Anyways, victory for me this week! I had a 4.2 lb weight loss since last Monday! Not shoving every edible thing in my mouth has been quite helpful.
I decided I needed to not have soooo many things to tackle at once. I started this challenge last Monday with the goal of logging EVERYTHING that went in my mouth, even if it meant it was not a good choice. So, I had some treats but I did not gorge! The numbers prove it. So now, I will add another goal this week.
I want to start on those million crunches and lunges (haha), thinking I will be adding squats as well. My legs really need the work. Strengthening the leg and butt muscles will actually do me some good in my old age...since I will be walking the hospital halls until I am dead!
I did try a new food. Made chicken creole, a healthy dish, except for the sodium. I could not find low sodium chili sauce so I need to find an alternative for the next time I make it. I will post the recipe for anyone who is interested.
The DVD...haven't been there yet. But I will. I have to take small steps. Too much pressure, I am doomed to fail.
I also entered a Biggest Loser challenge here on MFP. It sounded awesome, I will be accountable to a team mate so I don't want to let them down. I am hoping it will continue to keep me motivated. Those of you that know me, understand this.
Have a great week...see you all soon!

Results so far:
Weight: 133.2 (up .2 between TOM and Oktoberfest
)
Miles 2/150 (hope to get in 5 today, weather finally broke!)
Crunches 564/1000
Lunges 462/1000 (I'm doing squats because I was already started a squat challenge the day I found this challenge)
Challenge 1: try a new food. This one I didn't really try anything new, BUT I did much better at planning out my stuff and not having to give in to eating out.
Challenge 2: Fun news about this one but I can't post publicly yet! ! I'll keep you updated!!
Challenge 3: I started doing the various apps from the hundred pushup challenge family again and have been doing pretty good! I can tell a difference in my arms and can't wait to start seeing a difference in my bum!!
Positives!
1) Got through TOM and a fall festival with only a .2 gain. Normally I have like a 3 lb gain just from TOM because I eat everything in sight.
2)In the past two weeks I have made some GREAT new buds on here and became better friends with other MFPeeps.
3) My exciting news from challenge #2 that I should be able to talk about tomorrow!!!
Can't wait for the next set of challenges. I feel like I could have done better on some of them this week so I am ready to hit the ground running for the next set!!
