BL Blue Team WEEK 17

Hi Everyone,

It has been another busy week for me. I didn't keep track of my intake as well as I should. I think I should start writing it down and logging it in the computer when I get the chance.

I did exercise some and could do better. I need to look for Jillian's radio shows again. I had listened to one a week or so ago and found it motivating. I have definitely paid more attention to the chemicals in my food.

So when I was listening to Jillian about processed food it really got me thinking and I would love to cut out as much processed foods as possible and another one of my friends would also like to however where do you get a list of what has been processed or how do you know. Is this a question that I should post to the message board and get everyones option on??

I love to eat cereal. That is my fav. I could eat it for every meal. I'm trying to break myself of this but its not working lol. Tonight I had two slices of pizza and I stopped myself. I'm so proud of myself. But boy am I paying for it now. Gas :grumble: Noone wants to be around me :laugh:

Be prepared for more gas as you switch from processed foods to more fruits and veggies!!!

You might want to consider reading some of the posts from the "Clean Eating Club". They avoid processed foods and have tons of ideas and tips. Do a forum search on clean eating and you should find it.

I worked out today and did fairly well drinking water and eating frequently without over eating. I am going to try to make everyday like today...no matter how busy I get

I will do that search mrwatson thank you

and good luck with the eating better no matter what. Its a challenge i know and im a stay at home mom.

Rach - you can do it - get that work done!!! I am cheering you on...

If you need a break from it all, do some punches or high knees to work out some frustration - stay focused.

So far no loss again this week - little frustrating but I know I am working hard and I am not gaining so I am ok with that but this overall has been my worse month since I started Sept 1 - I've only lost about 2 or 3 pounds in the past month....but it's down not up....and I feel better than I've ever felt as an adult.

when I started I lost 10 pounds a month for the first 4 monthes ever since it's slowed way down but I am feeling like I am at somewhat of a standstill....

my goals for this week -

8 glasses of water
no less than 1300 net calories per day
exercise 5 days

Hey guys. :flowerforyou:

Rach - That's awesome what your professor did. Hopefully that'll take a little bit of pressure off!! I know you can do it!

Chrissy - Your drive is awesome. I know you're feeling like you're at a stand-still right now... but just think how great it's going to feel when you break that!! And, I know you will. Look how far you've came!!

j_g - goodluck with your switch to non-processed foods!!

mrwatson - cute dog.

This past week has been weird for me! I'm finding out a lot about myself, though. My boyfriend's mother went a little nuts and cursed at me this past weekend - because I put my boyfriend's bowling balls in our hall closet beside of a box that was hers. Apparently, the closet is off-limits. :huh: I told her not to talk to me that way. She then turned on my boyfriend. We got out of the house after that and walked down the street. He was so upset - I've never seen him so mad and so screwed up. When we got back to the house, I started gathering all my clothes and stuff in the bathroom. I told him I couldn't live this way any longer and I had to get out. He begged me to stay, said he loved me, needs me, etc. I'm torn. And, ever since that Friday night, I've been snacking a lot - mostly in the a.m. at my mom's house. I'm not even hungry... I just eat stuff because it tastes good and makes me feel better. Luckily, I'm not eating bad foods and I don't eat much once I'm at work, so it has kind of evened out.

On a positive note... I'm going to check out a house today at 12:30. I'm excited! It looks really nice on the outside... it's under $100,000... 4 beds, 2 baths... we'll see! I've told my boyfriend I'm checking out houses... I think he's in denial. Last night I was told that I can't leave. :huh: Really?! :huh:

So... I'm at the point where I'm trying to separate my emotions from the situation and it's really hard. I'm okay one minute, then the next I'm just... :sick:

Sorry for the long post... lol, I like to type.

Rach-hang in there, I have to study this weekend too.

Chrissy-thanks for the positiveness. I sure need it to.

Leigh-get a new house and you'll be so happy cause you can run you're own life. Plus be busy with a place to make your own...the pounds will melt off.

Me-ugggg, I WAS good until this past weekend and now can't get my mojo back. WAY overate, crap too, and now that's all I crave! Exercising, ugg, am having NO energy. Like isn't Spring supposed to be renewing? I've fallen back to my old ways.:sad: :sad: HELP!!!

Watson-gorgeous dog by the way.:smooched:

j-trip may be postponed. My daughter can't find a friend to take.:grumble:

YES! This is great-most of the time I only read our thread cause I feel like you guys are my good buddies.
Rach-go easier on yourself, you have alot on that plate! School sucks sometimes, but it comes first. You can tell me that this weekend when I'm procrastinating studying for my Fitness Theory course!:grumble:
Congrats ladies, the scale scares me today-PMS week. Gonna go try some Hip Hop this am, my shoulder is a bit sore from yesterday. BEST NEWS EVER CAME LAST NITE-I get my driver's liscense back today!!!! I can hardly believe it-finally!:bigsmile: I owe alot of money, but I'll find it somewhere. My youngest is 12 today-she's sooo sweet, and I'm like getting soooo old.:sad:

Anyway, have a good day!

Coffee, lots of coffee.
I'M UP 5 LBS-WTF. I'M AN IDIOT. HAVE ANOTHER COOKIE PIG. I'M SOO TICKED AT MYSELF, although I know some is fluid. Excuses excuses.:sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

Rach - take a nap
HM04 - NO COOKIES!!!!!! Back away from the cookie jar....
