200+ Hot For Halloween!

Weighing in at 215 *pout* second day of TOM so hopefully that 1lb gain goes away - I've worked out everyday and I've been under on cals and sodium everyday so I don't know where else it would have come from.
So, I used to be a "bored eater" and an "emotional eater". Something I've been working on is non-food "rewards" - basically things I can do or buy that still fill those urges without being something I put in my mouth. Picked up some really cute nailpolish this morning
It seems like makeup, hairclips, etc things that make me feel good about myself (vs the temporary good filling of eating a cookie followed by immediate guilt) are the best options - but simple things, it's not like I can afford (or have the time for) a manicure or whatever every day. ha. Anyone else have ideas? I think the "buying little things" still feels the consuming urge - but I eventually need to get away from that as well, it seems wasteful and I can only have so many little accessories and makeup. I tend to buy little things like mints or gum as well, lose them, and buy more. I don't know. Obviously it's filling the same issue as overeating.
Need to catch up with you all tonight, but running to class now! xoxo HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!0 -
Nava - That's awesome. :P You sound like you were a fun kid!
I'm glad Joe's parents are more supportive of your relationship.
Kendal - Your neighbor sounds like a douche, no offense.
Crystal - I'm with you on the morning after pills. I try to never mention one way or another how I feel about it, because I don't really want to offend people, but yeah, it's still too close for comfort for me, too. Most likely, though, you're safe since it was 2 weeks after your IUD was out. (Interestingly, I had regular periods while I was on the depo shot, even though they usually go away. Since I've been off of it, nothing.) I think the "r" word is probably an appropriate label for what happened; we work with our local domestic/sexual assault group for radio ads often, and one of the things they emphasize is ONE no is enough, and more often than not when someone realizes that their "no"s are being ignored, they give up fighting.
Kiki - I've also always been a both bored and emotional eater. I set myself goals, and reward myself when I get to that. I got a new pair of shoes. Next, when I am into a size 20 finally, I'll get myself new pants for the gym. They're biggish rewards, so they feel more like a goal and a real reward. The little ones always seem to escalate into more and more and more.
It's SO rainy out, and the puddles at the corners of intersections require me to literally JUMP across them. It's ridiculous, and supposed to rain all day. I love the rain, but I also like being able to step off the curb without having to swim across. I think jumping my invisible rope will have to work for the day during commercial breaks for the football game.0 -

OMG puppies are adorable and that was hysterical! I will be getting back to replying probably...er...tomorrow. Or Sunday. Here's me being wishy washy 'cuz I'm going out with my BFF tonight for a little night out, dancing fun. I'm SO excited. And then tomorrow my mom is bringing home a little extra work for me to make a bit of extra money to help make ends meet. Yay. Lol. But it has to be done. I love you all and am sending you all telepathic interweb hugs. 0

Ohhhhhhh...I never got that they were ALL part of the SAME thing. DUH! LOL. CUTE!0

So passing on the weigh in.
1. earlier this week I hit 189.5.... but when I got back on it went to 191. Ok. Still good all things considered.
2. traveled two days. Watched my food reasonably. Was on my feet walking for six hours each day.
3. did not get my water in
4 came home to 191....but then it went up to 192.5 after breakfast and working out.
I am not liking this. I know a part is not enough water. I know part of it is up and down w/food and not consistent--even though I'm not really over.
I am feeling very sorry for myself and going into a busy social weekend with a lasagne dinner (a little like crack for me).
I need to break 190 and get my act together. It is up to me. Going now to stop whining and drink some water...0 -

I can relate to this, mostly. I want to get to the point, between losing some weight and loving myself, that I can feel the way she does. Definitely thought it was worth sharing.
I'm exhausted. I want a nap, and I could feasibly take one considering I have an hour before I need to even be here for the game, but there's no point in me leaving and then coming back... maybe I'll finally climb under the stairs for a nap, like I've wanted to for 2 years. I'm here for at least another 3 hours, and maybe a full 4.
ETAsk: how the heck do you make links show up as links?!0 -
★******* 212. Todays weigh in. *************
Things are just low over here. I've drank 2 nights this week and only exercised 2. Im just in a really bad funk right now with my diet and my life. Idk what to do that will make it better. I miss my ex every day. And I can't get motivated to quit putting food in my mouth. You would think I would have plenty of motivation considering im back on the market but in my head is "I don't care".
I've read all yalls posts. Im jealous y'all stay so involved. I got a promotion of sorts at work and have zero time to post in the day. I don't bring my computer home so I have to type on my phone when I do post.
Hope you guys have a good weekend! Im going to watch the hogs tear up Auburn. Woo pig sooie!0 -
Hey all... Spent a large amount of the morning replying to three pages of posts, but never got to finish it before coming to work, so I will have to finish and post it tomorrow!0

Megan: sorry you having such a grotty time - need to not be too hard on yourself because right now is horrible and sad wit the need to adjust to a loss. Start being kind to yourself and you may be suprised at how things begin to change....
Crystal: have a fab weekend - it's time you have some fun girlie!
Sheba: It is tough when things don't keep moving but oerhas now is a time to be thinking about the fact that whatever happens you need to put food into your mouth so you might as well make it healthy as possible - then when things start moving again you can concentrate on why!!!!
Kendal: love the husky pupdate. And pleased your foot is okay.
Nava: enjoy your baking and good luck for jumping back on the wagon on Monday - we are rooting for you.
Lacey: pleased to hear you are looking to a goal for your exercise and food intake - you will definiteyly wow them at the Christmas party - coz you ar going to keep it up for the duration!!!!
Amy: when is your birthday? Also - how is your foot bearing up with the increased exercise you are now doing?
As for me - have been for my Saturday run and will be walking between 3 and 4 miles with the dog a bit later - so score for me on exercise today!! Really flunking 'productivity' - now 10/14 - 13's on the others - have found myself really tired at the end of each day - yesterday I was asleep by 2100 - not sure what going on there?
Lots of excitment here at present - we have a two day old chick that is very cute, yellow and fluffy - will be interesting to see what it grows into (hopefully). Two eggs left but no signs of hatching so they may not be viable. Quite a busy day today - church Thanksgiving and tea followed by a musical evening (with dinner) - not very good planning and not sure how it will reflect on the scales tomorrow but hey ho!!!
Have a great weekend all
Annette xx0 -
Having a c r a ptacular shift from hell. Have eaten much chocolate for sanity. It's not working.0
-
>> 217.4 <<
Woot - Finally made a good shift on the scale! Down 2.4 lbs I believe
For us Canucks, it's our Thanksgiving this weekend and I'll be going to the MIL's with the kids. MIL and FIL have no concept of healthy eating, let alone portion control so we'll see how I make out there.
I'm going low carb again and think that that is what gave me the boost this week. I did it in my 3rd year of college and it worked well and I kept my weight off for several years until my thyroid went out of wack and I did in part use that as an excuse to eat whatever I wanted. My Dr was a bit of a dork and told me to expect to gain weight with the pills and blah blah blah. Basically gave me the impression that whatever I did (diet/exercise) I wouldn't make progress and only get frustrated. Looking back on that, really wish I had a different Dr.
So I hope everyone has a great weekend and all the Canadians have a happy turkey day!0 -
***********Weigh-In 232.4********
Not bad considering no exercise and TOM. Catch up with you gals later!0 -
Megan - what about the guy that liked youu and kept after you for a bit?? Give yourself a few weeks and then call him maybe?That is if you are completely sur you are done with the ex. I'm sorry that you are having a hard time with this...it sucks.
Annette - yeay for baby chicks!!
As for me, Ithrew away all of Barts medicine last night after we got up off the couch to go to bed and saw a huge pee stain all over one of the cushions. He had his coat on and was under a blanket for hours which isn't like him but i left it alone becauase i know he isn't feeling super well...well. It was the sign everyone with dog who are sick keep talking about as it being "time" so I bawled and tossed the three bottles of pills and went to bed. My eyes are so swollen this morning.
I didnt run yesterday, instead I cme home and we made cappuccinos with nespresso and kalhua and watched Bridesmaids. So on the docket here in a few hours is a nce long run with my new gear and then into town fora few groceries. I want to make cin rolls but man they are SOnot good for you when you eat more than one at a time and I don't think Im in a place where I could stop myself!!0 -
Lacey - ((((((((hugs))))))))) so sorry to hear about Bart...0
-
Megan- give yourself a certain time frame to get over this. A week or two. Be mopey and sad all you want in that time frame. Don't feel guilty if you don't log food or track your exercise. Mourn. It's ok. It's a part of life. But after that time frame is up, NO MORE MOPING. Move on. Tell yourself that you had your time to be sad and now it's time to function properly again. There are better, more deserving men in the sea and you need to find the one who loves you and will do anything to be with you. We will be here for you whether you are tracking or not, so feel free to vent all your emotions here, if you want. We love you, girl.
Lacey- I'm so sorry about Bart. :brokenheart:
The show last night was FANTASTIC. I didn't honestly have too high of expectations cause I'm not a huge Uncle Kracker fan, but bff and I both had a fabulous time. And the opening band was awesome too! I came home and downloaded his cd. I didn't have a drop of alcohol (neither did bff) but I woke up feeling a little hungover. It's odd. It's starting to pass now that I've been up for 2 hours.
But my body is still really freaking tired. I'm not sure the gym is going to happen. Ugh. Although if I feel the urge later, my gym is now open 24 hours a day so I can go anytime I want.
Oh well. Right now it's time for a shower so me and the bff can go halloween costume accessory shopping (for her, not me).0 -
Lacey - sorry to hear about Bart. We went through the same with my parents dog several years ago and we had the same sign that 'it's time'... such a stressful time.
Kendal - Glad you had a great time! I have to get out to more concerts, but one of the last ones I went to some big guy got stoned and fell on me. It was standing room only and when he fell, he fell right behind me (he was standing beside me - think of a tree being chopped down and just falling over sideways) and hit the back of my knee. Well I just about landed on his head and ripped my then boyfriends arm off as I tried to stay standing... needless to say I'm no longer a big fan of crowds! lol
I'm just jumping in here and will post more as I get to know everyone through their posts! 0 -
I have been cleaning up dog puke all freaking day. Sofie has been vomiting off and on all day. Every time she drinks a bit of water, it sets her off (so we put the water out of reach and she hasn't eaten since last night). I'm hoping she just needs 24 hours to get it out of her system. I wish I could teach her to puke into the toilet, I'm running out of paper towels.
Lacey: I'm so sorry about Bart.
That's about all the energy I have. I've been feeling unwell all day myself and all the dog puke hasn't helped.0 -
Pam and Lacey - Modcloth has AWESOME stuff, i was thinking of getting my bridesmaid dresses from there!
Kendal - YAY for Mr Renunion doing the dashes with you!! I've found recently that i can get by quite sufficiently with one egg on one piece of toast. It's a very lovely breakfast! I also agree with weighing every day to track trends and know where the gains are coming from. I weigh every morning, but only log once a week. Also, you are adorable.
Hailie - Hi! :flowerforyou:
Katheryne - I know how it feels to have people never spell your name right. Hosannah, Hoseanna, Hosana, Hossanna, Hossana, Hozanna, Hozana... you get the picture... Also... would you like me to come and punch your lazy workmate in the kidneys for you?
Crystal - Oooh that all sounds nasty! I've got a double scoliosis (about 45degrees) and a stage two spondylolosthesis at L4 and L5 which i've had since i was seven. I know what back pain is like. I love my Wii. Also, exes suck. And celebacy is hard, especially when you're trying to resist someone you want who wants you. Don't feel bad about giving in, you're only human. As far as birth control... i have no advice. I get the depo-provera injection every three months. I'm glad to hear that he's apologised and says it won't happen again! That's a good sign.
Kerry - You are a superstar!
Lacey - You can get the morning after pill from Kmart in america???
WiggleSarah - WOO!! Goodbye 180s!
Bobbie - Wii Fit for Yoga. I swear by it. and Teeheehee at the Squirrel thing... we don't have squirrels here, but anything at all has the same effect! Also, Wii Zumba is awesome.
Thanks everyone for the sympathy for my dear Alexbaby. no further dramas to report! Also the support with wedding things. I'm SO freaking excited, it's 13 weeks today until the wedding!! :happy:
This only gets me to the end (ish) of page 14, but i have no time to do anymore!!0 -
Well damn. As much as I HATE to admit it, you have to wear your bmf on your arm for the best reading. As of right now at 5pm on Saturday I've only burned 1906 calories, thats with the 2.44 runwalk - man is there ever a difference in how much I move during the wrok week versus weekend! I am pretty sure had it been on my leg that it would have been in the 2200-2500 range. No wonder I've not lost anything. Yesterday I burned 2474 overall (no exercise), Thursday 2338 (no exercise), Wedneday 2606 (1.9 mi run).
I'm thinking if I stick to a diet of 1800-2000 cals per day I should be good to go based on the numbers above.
We went and gorged on Olive Garden today. Tomorrow will be hard eating too, this weather, Bart and just coming home from Europe, well its all catching up to me so I am thinking by Monday I will be ready to track cals along with the running and get going. I might do the X stretch video tomorrow...I could use a good limbering up. Or the yoga. Something.0 -
Ok, page 15:
Megan - Thinking of you girl :flowerforyou:
Annette - I love chickens. Best pets ever (besides dogs!)
Lacey - So sorry to hear about Bart :frown:
Kendal - Glad to hear you enjoyed the show!! Did he play smile? I love that song!
Ooh wow there wasn't much on that page!
I had a dreadful shift last night, the nurse i was working with went home sick and they couldn't cover her so i was doing two peoples' work, and then one of my patients got REALLY sick, so we had to move him to the ICU... i was put so behind by all this. I was beside myself when i got home. One of the patients' daughters bought the staff a 1.2kg box of Whitman's chocolates... and i was munching away all night. Felt so ill by the time i got home, but it made me feel better at the time!!
I now have late-early-early and then i go to Adelaide to see mum and then MELBOURNE FOR MY HEN'S WEEKEND!!! So excited!!
***********TMI ALERT***********
Well not too much, but those who have been around for a while would remember that last challenge there was a huge issue with the man and his lack of libido. No idea what's changed, but i swear to you, i am now marrying a SEX MACHINE!!!!
:bigsmile:
This makes me unbelieveably happy!!!
teehee!0 -
Rant (because my poor husband's heard this so so many times!): Why is it that two technologically challenged people who only just gave in and got the internet less than a month ago insist on buying mp3 players that the people at Walmart insist will work for audiobooks? From people who half the time don't know wtf they are talking about? And yet they have a daughter who knows about this stuff and keeps telling them, just go buy a damn ipod! Please! Yes they cost more, but for all the time and effort they've spent buying various mp3 players and I've spent trying to get them to work, we could have got a 32 gb ipod for the same amount of money. You can plug an ipod in and have it working in 30 seconds flat. None of the others you can do that with. Its worth the price!
Now I am stuck here trying to get my dads latest and greatest Philips songbird mp3 player working, its been over an hour already, and I still can't figure out why I can't "active the device to listen to this file". Ga!0 -
NSV: My daughter's 3rd party for her 2nd birthday: Me eating NO cupcake or ice cream. That makes 3 for 3. Thank goodness THAT'S over! Phew!!0
-
Sarah: yeah for 3/3 - and how come, the younger they are the more birthday parties thay seem to have?????? Have been thinking of you and your friend - hope all is beginning to settle down and that she will soon make strides back to health.
Lacey: really sorry to hear about Bart - and yes, they really do let us know when it is time - big hugs to you
Amy: what is it with our dogs at the moment - there seems to be another one joing in every week!!! - sorry Sophie is feeling poorly and that you are having to clear up the results of that. Also, hoping you feeling better soon.
Hoseanna: sorry you had a rubbish shift but yeah for re-gained libido!!!
Kendal: glad you had a good time last night and have fun shopping
As for me - generally a good day yesterday but further slippage on 'productivity' - part of me wants to to just wipe it off the list and pretend it was never there - but that would be cheating!!!!! Completed others and today is a new day.......
Weigh in for today - 174 - Thank you Lacey - you are keeping me accountable by being there to look at the diary (even if you couldn't get at it when you tried!!!!). When am I going to get at yours lady???????
Enjoy your Sundays xx0 -
Sat check in - ex 4 mile walk so I've completed my 2nd week of hybrid P90X. I burned 2783 cals. Food / drink choices were poor. Monday, I'll be back to logging. We did manage to get the living room and hallway carpets cleaned. I ordered a Lord of the Rings wallpaper border for the guest bathroom. I finally finished getting the old wallpaper off yesterday. Today will be yardwork and putting the house back together.0
-
I don't now how you all keep with each of us... but thanks. I'm going to respond generally:
Getting over ex's: Wallow for awhile but set the clock on it. I actually made a calendar and planned my "recovery" while sitting on the sofa crying. It helped me because once I started doing something positive for myself every day, I wanted to do more. But it wasn't easy. I had a good therapist then too--someone who helped me be accountable to feeling better
Congrats to all staying on their plan. It really helps to see your triumphs and also to understand that you've been working at it for awhile.
Lacey: I'm sorry about Bart. I've been through it twice and it is heartbreaking.
I'm still struggling. Went out last night and ate and drank more than I planned. But also bought a blouse that didn't have an X following it for the first time in a couple of years (or more). I know this is about self- sabotage so will keep working it each day and posting here so that I am accountable publicly.0 -
sheba: I think there are quite a few of us who are struggling right now, you aren't alone.
Victoria: I'm back to logging on Monday too and posting my calories in versus cals out.
Annette: My productivity went into the toilet the last 2 days. I hope to get it together tomorrow.
Sarah: great job on the will power!
Hosanna: Yay for the increased libido!!!
Lacey: I'm so sorry you are your parents tech support. I used to have to do that crap for my mom but it ended when I left the country (thank the lord).
It was a long couple of days with the dog. She puked all freaking day yesterday. She did ok all night and then overdid it on the water first thing this morning and puked it all back up. We've been feeding her pedialyte and chicken & rice baby food all day and she's finally keeping everything down. It makes me super grateful that we don't have a lot of sickness around here (neither the humans nor the pets generally get sick very often). It makes for a long day when dealing with all that.0
