RED TEAM WEEK 1

man o man i fill like giving up... me and my mom just got into it badly... me and he never got along for aslong as i remember... and for that is the reason i moved out at 15 1/2 to live with my gma... with all the beatings and telling me im never going to be anything is finally hitting me... all my life she has told me i was never going to amount to ****... i feel like binging and eating everything in sight but thats the reason why i am at this point in the first place... i think im just going to go to the gym when i calm down... im just happy for a couple of months she wont be apart of my life...

Dont give up! You can do this! Eating all that crap wont solv lifes poblems. I found that out the hard way. The gym will make you feel so much better. Go do some kickboxing and will drain all of that negative energy right out of you.
I just found out today that I am diabetic and I do not know what to do. I love those doctors that just tell you that you have this diagnosis but dont tell you how to live with it or control it.

I am sorry about your diagnosis. I have Type I diabetes. I was diagnosed in 6th grade when I was 11. If your doctors don't help you to tell you how to live with conditions like these and how to control them, it is time to get new doctors. Seriously. You just say, "Sorry, I need to do what is best for me" and go find yourself a new set of doctors who care about your ability to take care of yourself and will help you through it. It's not a fun transition, but sometimes it is necessary.

I have already called a new doctor. I was so upset. I found out more about it on the web than I did at the office. So I am going to make the best of what I have and figure out this all out. They did say that with diet and exercise I may be able to control it with out the medication. So there is hope.

OMG, Ladies! I can see I'm going to have to check this several times a day to keep up with you all! I'm glad to see so many members, though! Yay red team!!!

-I'm doing terrible on my water intake. I don't think I drink 8 cups a day of ANY liquid! So it's really hard to do with water... :sad:

-I try hard every day to be a morning person. it's helped me more that my hubby has to be at work way earlier than me so I try to get up and see him before he leaves, and now I really miss the extra time I have to myself in the mornings when I keep hitting that stupid snooze...
Anyway, my breakfast WAS an oatmeal packet (of any flavor, they're only like 120 cals and pretty filling), and a hard boiled egg if I had any in the fridge.
As of yesterday, I started making Smoothies. The one I make is a specific recipe I found in Women's health mag. I can post the recipe if you're interested, but I'm at work right now, so it's not in front of me! It is delicious & I can absolutely see the results as far as increased energy, but the milk/yogurt/fruit combo in the morning was a little much for me, so I added a piece of toast on the side to help settle the ol' tummy.

-Next week's challenge...I noticed there's another group that exists each month just supporting each other on no late night snacking. (each member decides what "late night" means for her) is that a common problem for us?? I know I love a good snack right before bed... :blushing:

I change up my breakfast. Sometimes I just eat left overs, usually I est instant oatmeal with a cup of milk in it instead of water, or a thing of yogurt with a glass of milk.

i agree i tend to eat a lot at night.. im down for the challenge and ill do the water one too...

im not doing to good with the water today... i was downing them yesterday but today it showed at the gym that i didnt have a lot of water in me... and i gave into the soda that was looking at me in the fridge... i only drank like 3 gulps though but i almost didnt stop! it was soo good though!! i have been a biznotch without my caffeine so i feel better after that! lol...

i would love the recipee... i need anything that will give me more energy..

and ive been taking this hydroxycut detox thing and omg dont go anywhere!! i feel like dying my stomach hurts... lol

Yikes on the detox effects! I have really never tried any of those. Do they really work?

Smoothies sound really good. I would love the recipe as well to try out. Oh I have a huge issue with late night eating. Like right now I am working some extra hours from home and the snacks are calling my name. LOL! I think that is a great challange for next week.

Well break time over..better get back to work....ugggg!

I am not sure if I want to try one now. I dont think I want that feeling that "something" could come out at any given moment. It is kinda like that drug Alli. Says it cause some interesting side effects. There is no way I am going to have something like that that happen to me. Although I guess there are the perks of working from home. LOL! Close to the bathroom and possibly a change of pants. :laugh:
Wow sounds like it is pretty warm. It is still freezing cold here.... I think it got up to 64. Heat wave for us woo hoo... lol...

:yawn: i am so tired.
i tried doing the other workout disc.
i only made it halfway through:sad:
but at least i did the other one earlier today!
i have also committed to going on a walk in the morning with my mom (weather permitting).
i hope all this exercise pays off...! lol.
it's about time to go to bed, especially if i'm going to get up early:ohwell: lol
good luck everyone!

Thanks! Do you know what the difference would be if 2% milk was used?

and yes, the hunger thing is really cute!

also, my own random side note...your cat is cute! looks like my kitty : )

Oh man. Well today started off interesting. after about *maybe* 4 hours of sleep, i awoke to what sounded like my house crashing down on me. Don't worry...it was just thunder. lol. It was POURING. Luckily, right before the time mom and i had decided to go for a walk, it stopped raining. And while we were walking, the sun came out! We had a good walk! almost 2 miles! I am SO tired though. I live in a very hilly area, so it was 2 miles of up and down hills...now there are muscles in my legs twitching. lol. well i had a good breakfast of oatmeal and turkey bacon, and that good walk. But i'm concerned about my sleep. i have either barely slept or not slept well the past three nights...any suggestions? i need to do something, otherwise i'm afraid it will really affect all my weight-loss attempts...

good luck everyone! (time to start chugging water!!)
