    :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: .....
    Up quite a bit this week, bah and to think after Christmas i was below 150!! Not sure how I gained either because i've been kind of sick lately. I don't know if I have a touch of the flu or what, but let's just say food has been going through me pretty fast? sorry gross. Haven't quite figured out what it is, have had terrible stomach cramps with it too and would blame it on TOM if I hadn't been just last week. Been trying to stay hydrated and see if that helps but just feel so tired too so that doesn't help, especially when I have so much homework to do!! Boy, you think Stress might be a part of it?? :huh:

    Anyway, enough complaining, i need to get to campus. Sorry i haven't done personals lately. This afternoon I promise!!!!

    exactly the same :grumble: but i guess that is what i get for slacking in the food dept. BUT I have really been kicking butt in the gym... so that is probably how I avoided a gain :laugh: personals later... presentation now... :heart:

    Yay! I'm still not convinced that I'll meet my goal for the challenge but I don't mind that idea. Tiff like you said the other day, I have some other health and fitness goals that do not revolve directly around the scale so I really do feel less pressure about it.

    Cathy, it can be so frusrating seeing a gain and not knowing why but we all know what we need to do :wink:

    AmyLou, don't stress any more than you already are. Just keep up with the best choices you possibly can! :flowerforyou:

    Tiff, good luck with your last day of studying!

    Em, I hope the presentation went well!

    Kristin, you go girl!! Eating well and making smart choices means you can rest easy that it's healthy weight and it will come off without the same kind of fight as unhealthy pregnancy weight gain! :happy: :flowerforyou: :heart: That u/s is coming right up isn't it!!!

    Well time for us to get going with our day. Ava's baking bread this morning all by herself so I need to get the ingredients out for her :bigsmile:

    Have a great one ladies!!

    Kristin, are you bloated? Swelling? Your uterus may have more fluid it in now for baby growth reasons too. As long as you are still eating well, don't stress the weight gain. You will still fluctuate. I'm super proud of you for charting your weight gain during pregnancy and pacing yourself as much as possible. I know my biggest downfall was not knowing to watch my weight. I think you are doing super great! :flowerforyou:

    Cathy, thanks for posting a cleaned up list.:flowerforyou:

    Rhiannon, how cool you are letting your 4 year old bake!! I am impressed.

    Rhainnon...yep...the ultrasound is this Thursday! I can't wait!

    Lauryn...thanks!:flowerforyou: I figured I need to hold myself accountable for what I gain...yes, some of it I have no control over, but the choices I do make will impact the rest. I must say, I do give into my ice cream cravings, but otherwise, I make sure to get in lots of fruits, veggies, and dairy. Plus the needed protein and carbs. I'm not too worried! It's just amazing to see how quick I can gain it some weeks as opposed to others!

    I was sick last week and didn't excercise either and I guess maybe I was getting a little too cocky ....

    I'm at work now but I'll check in later

    Heya Stephanie, just so you know we usually copy the whole list then update our own stats within that list so that it's current. Sorry about the disappointment at weigh-in but we learn something from each of our steps back, right?? :wink:

    Gosh, not many of us weighing in thus far today. I'm posting the list so I can find it again later.... I am debating working out after work today (in a half hour from now). My dad is in the hospital with heart issues (will be in most of this week, at least) so my schedule is a little off, couldn't work out during lunch. I have no energy to work out (thanks to stress and horrid amounts of pollen) but I need to do something, I think. We'll see. Might not.

    Tiff, love the new pic :happy:

    Slow times around here! The group seems to be dwindling.

    Well, despite my stiff muscles I did a 3.7km run today which felt AMAZING. I'm so glad I did it!! It felt amazing to run and really helped move the lactic acid out of my muscles. I've been SO HUNGRY the last two days though. It's quite something. My HRM reported my race as a 1000 calorie burn (in 58 minutes) but it seems wild to me that I'm still so hungry today. It's also TOM now though so maybe it's hormones. I chose to go with my hunger today which did put me WAY over calories but it wasn't binging on junk, just eating much more than I usually would. But I've had these moments before and it seems that when my body is REALLY asking for more food and I listen to it and remain attentive to the signals. I've had great balance lately but I still feel a little jittery about going over in cals, hence the explanation :laugh:

    How is everyone else's Tuesday going?

    whoooo.... down a half pound. Might be more, I've been eating stir fry the last few days. I made it here, but it still has a couple tablespoons of soy sauce per serving, so there's a whole day's worth of sodium. I did make the last batch with lower sodium soy sauce, but I don't like the taste as much. Have managed to get DH out for a walk twice in the past week. If only I could keep him out of my chocolate chips! He's got the major carb addiction going on, and does good, but then slips up in the evening. I found out he's even been eating my secret (or not so secret as the case may be) stash of valentines candy! I still had half a bag a week ago, and now it's almost empty. He knows better than to empty it completely, because if I go to get a piece and it's all gone, I'm going to be a crabby crabby woman!

    Just stopped by before bed... hmmm been up here a few times to glance at what you ladies have been chatting about..

    I just wanted to say... Expect goooood things in your life. God (or whomever you believe in) never gives you more than you can handle... Life is truly a blessing. Though we are in a battle with our weight, we must remember that each day is a GIFT and we better unwrap that present and enjoy it RIGHT NOW. As we are. No matter how many flaws we have... cause we have ONE chance at this and we don't get a do-over. Live life to the fullest and find Joy in your struggles!
    the way I figure it... life never slows down so we can catch up... so these trials and tribulations ARE life. And I think there is always something to love and enjoy... it's our job to find it!

    gotta go to sleep so I can get up and rock this test tomorrow! :heart: you all!

    that is what i needed to keep my head straight. it is something i needed to hear that God doesn't give us more than we can handle. i i think sometimes it helps to just tell him when i can't handle it anymore. love the new pic. you are jumping so high. good luck on your test.

    everyone else you are all doing a great job on keeping the gains rather low....just think they could have been higher if you weren't on here and knew you had to report. great job to the losers. keep up the great work. sorry for no personals i have been in just a funk and with the job loss. speaking of...lauryn hows your job hunting going? ours is going. he's out now dropping more resumes. he has dropped at least 10, I have dropped 5. will be going to temp services next week. and had told him if nothing happens by the middle of next month i will start applying at fast food. anything to bring in some money. weight loss dept is going also. the cookies are gone. yes, i saw to that last night after popcorn. but, they are gone. DH saw to it that the bread from dinner was given to the dog. must be telling me something.
    well, need to shower and get some things done around here. strange being without a car, like the old days.

    later :heart:
