Sixers Spring Into Summer - Week 2

Good morning. Well no change for me, still the same. I'm pretty good at this maintaining stuff, :laugh: :laugh: . Have nothing really planned today. Just work and will probably clean up some. Last night me and the hubby went to see the new Fast and Furious movie and went Easter shopping and then came home and made homemade burritos and nachos, YUM!!!!

I get to get my car painted next week. I am super excited! I drive a Honda wagon and we are painting the bottom half silver and the top half a plum pearl then a lime green pin stripe to seperate them. Can't wait!

Well, hope everyone has a wonderful day today. Mom enjoy going out with the girls today. I forgot to pack them jackets, stupid weather. You can stop by the house and get them if you think you need them. Girls know where they are, or they should.

Later.

morning :mad: da* gained. knew i would, just didn't think it would be 3. but it could be worse i guess.
DH made a bet with me who would make 200 first. he has been gaining weight. he is now the highest ever. we are back on our eating plan. girls up, they have request pancakes and eggs. need to get them feed. one knocked over a plant last night need to get that cleaned. they made a tent under our dinning room table to sleep and a plant was holding one of the many blankets. should have known better oh, well it's just dirt. the plant hadn't been doing well anyway. of course i had just watered it last night. yes, shanell already thought about going by to get jackets, but, it's in the other direction. i'll see, hope by the time we leave it will be warmer. dad didn't get to bed until 5:30 anyway, so may not leave until late. but, me and girls could run out there and pick them up.

fixed you steph....great job :bigsmile:

Rhiannon, thanks for starting the new thread. Oh how I wish I lived closer to the beach. Ours is 4 hours away.... but I am leaving Friday morning for a short weekend at the beach with my mom and my little brother (he's 10) and my daughter. My husband is possibly coming.... I don't care anymore. I'm emotionally worn down, I don't have the strength to deal, so I'm just treading water. Sorry -- that became a rambling rant, of sorts. All the same, I'm excited about the beach. Do you go often? How far is it from you?

Nellie, I LOVE plum and lime and silver. You have got to post photos when it's done. And good job with maintenance!!! It's not a gain!!

AmyLou, good for you, getting up early to run indoors!!! Keep up the pace and watch that weight drop back off.

Cathy, I'm sorry dear. I have a feeling I'm in the same boat with a gain (for me, since yesterday). Don't stress dear. REMEMBER HOW FAR YOU HAVE ALREADY COME. Focus yourself again, and just enjoy time with family.

Tamm, kick@ss girl!!! You seem to be doing so great, moving forward in such a positive direction!! And down 3.5lbs.... WOW! YAY YOU!!! Like you, I cannot do nighttime workouts, they keep me UP!

I'll post more later with a weigh in. :indifferent:
I don't expect a happy weigh in. I ate two dinners last night. :embarassed:

morning ladies. just a quick check in ti say hello. i am sick as a dog... so i think i am going to weigh in friday... if i don't still feel like a balloon :sick: keep up the great work ladies!!! WEEK 2!!! :flowerforyou:

okay, so in my efforts to be EXTRA good this challenge i decided to log my cough drops... :laugh: :flowerforyou: and guess what @ 15 cal a drop... if I have 10 (probably on the low end...) it will be 150 calories... of freaken cough drops... :noway: ... there goes my slim-a-bear treat :laugh: I guess I just never realized how much little things like this add up... haha. sorry i had a moment (had to share) :flowerforyou: have a gread day ladies... make the little things count today! :bigsmile:

I think I need a small workable goal, exercise related.
I saw the 100 Crunch a Day challenge. Uh, nope. Can't do that. Too big.
But I could do 100 crunches a week. 20 a day, M-F.
And I can possibly do more. Maybe some days I could even do 100.
I can add that to my Reward Jar list, although I haven't kept up with it in weeks.
Gotta get back to my Reward Jar and trying to do 100 crunches a week.
(I'd love to get rid of the flabby tummy, or at least lessen the jiggle. )

Lauryn. I am in the same boat, in terms of needing to make small goals... I got this ab workout video... it has 10 different routines and each is 8-10 minutes long... so my goal is to do one of them a day... I started last night and I feel the burn :bigsmile: I think small, obtainable goals, are the way to go...! :flowerforyou: You owe us 20 crunches girl! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Keep your head up!!!!! HUGS!

We went to Texas Roadhouse Sunday night thinking I was ordering somewhat healthy, nothing fried and no soda, yuhh huhha the steak tips, secretly hiding fat and calories in the sauce.... almost 1000 calories later I waddle out with what my daughter would say " a food baby" :laugh:

Oh My Gosh -- I had heard it before but forgotten it, so seeing "food baby" made me LAUGH OUT LOUD.




I did better last night, not great but much improved.
I only had ONE dinner instead of three. :bigsmile:
Working through it, working through it.

I wasn't able to work out or weigh in like normal yesterday. I have a coworker who recently lost his father, and he was about to break down at his desk, so I asked if he wanted to go for a walk to clear his head. We walked around downtown (in the 34* wind chill, haha) for about a half hour. I may have burned 100 calories, but the emotional satisfaction of helping out someone else in their time of need outweighed any workout I could have gotten. Being there for others is what life is all about.... and having lived by that mantra, I have many many friends who are supportive of me right now. I'm a firm believer that if you do good things, good things will happen to you.

I'll weigh in later today.

Has anyone seen the movie "I Am Sam"? During my insomniatic episode last night, I caught part of it on TBS and just CRIED. It was so moving, so sweet, so dear. I just kept crying and crying, happy tears, sad tears, laughter tears. I think I need to rent it now.

Mind??? You are always welcomed here, Connie!!! Stop by anytime!!! :flowerforyou:

Hi eveyrone, I think I am going to sit this challenge out this time... I will be back when u start the next 6 week challenge. I have been so busy lately. I think after school comes to an end and scouts and baseball are almost over I will be better. I never though cub scouts would take up so much of my time but it does. Been having to plan lots of things lately. I might come in and chat though of ya'll dont mind.

Connie

Sounds like you are super busy. I am sure you love it though. Nothing like being so very active in our kids lives. They certainly benefit from it later in life!

We hope to have you back soon!

I previously erased my ticker.
Modified, I've replaced it.
25lbs to go. I was at 19lbs to go only 3 weeks ago.
Gotta focus, gotta focus, gotta focus.
I have all of April, May and a few days of June until my 10th class reunion.
I'd like to look stunning.

Well, you already are stunning-- so let's get that straight right now.

As weird as this sounds, find your comfort in the control you've gained over this enemy. When hubby lost his job last year, it was oddly calming to know I wasn't going to drown my freaked out emotions in food because I was on my way to conquering this.

You can do this, woman-- glad to see your ticker back. You're stronger than all you're going through-- you'll lose your last 25.

Hey ladies,

I had brain fart. I kinda forgot about the challenge for the last couple of days. um...are there any special rules for this challenge or is it jsut logging food, exercise, and recipes still.

What days are we suppose to updates.

As of the 4th I weighed 286 which is 3 pounds lighter from starting the challenge.

Congratulations to all of the people who are having success and keep pushing.



I have a team meetng but I will be back to read all of the comments.

have a good day ladies
