Beautiful Blue Team WEEK 3

I binged so much on sugar and carbs last night it was obscene!:noway: I started over again, as usual, and walked and planted flowers. Probably burnt about 300 cals or so I figure. That's my exercise for today. I normally wouldn't call that "exercise", but I know I won't be doing anything more today. Lately I just want to eat. And as for PMS week-uggh. I take a Midol type pill and it works for the aches. As for chowing, it's like "excuse" week. And I take "happy pills" for the PMS moodiness. Before, I would want to push my hubby down the stairs, and shake the kids when they were fighting, so now, we're all still alive, in one piece, and a lot more pleasant. :drinker:

What are these happy pills of which you speak? Because if this house had stairs, my husband would have been at the bottom of them long ago! Lucky for him we're poor and can't afford a bigger house right now!

Rach, what is the latest time you need our weights tomorrow? I usually send mine in of a morning. When do you like to have our weights turned in?

my weight today is 205.2

I lost a pound. It would have been two, but I think I did not drink enough water yesterday. The salty and sodium filled foods from the weekend have caught up to me. I need to flush them out. MORE WATER, that is my plan for the rest of the week.
Have a good week everyone!!

Down 3 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know that a little bit of it is my body letting go of the TOM bloat but the trend has continued to be downward so I will take whatever kind of loss I can get. Because when I get to my goal, it can't be 70 pounds of water weight! :laugh: Good job, blue team! Even if you didn't lose, you're here, you're weighing in and that counts for a whole lot!!!

Weigh In: 134

chrissy - turtles ARE stinky! :sick: I have a friend who's had his for about five years. Has him in a huge tank in the dining room. They take him out every now and then and the cat freaks!! :laugh:

rach - :drinker: congrats on the loss and goodluck on the workout routine!!

ngwife - congrats on the 3 pound loss!!!! water weight counts hehe hey... any time the scale goes in a downward motion, it feels good! :bigsmile:

writer4him - vacation?! What's that?!

dawn717 - I hear ya about the sodium! I have significantly reduced my intake (painstakingly, I might add!) and have noticed that if I have a higher-sodium day (not even exceeding the 2500 mgs), my fingers swell up like sausages and I just generally feel... blah! Not to mention the scale doesn't like me. :sick: I'm thinking of talking to my doc about fluid pills... but, I don't really want to take something if I don't need it!

chickadee - congrats on the exercise before 8 a.m.!! Big feat. :glasses:

jacqueline - congrats!!! when are you done with school???

I started a new workout routine yesterday. Not sure how it's going to go, but... hopefully I'll see some results by Saturday! That's my weigh-in day. I found the routine in an old 2008 Hers magazine. It is a three-day breakdown of strength training - called the "Get Lean" program or something. Day one you work shoulders, triceps and chest; day two you work legs and abs; day three you work arms and back. It says the routine should be supplemented for cardio, too, but... I'm also doing 20 minutes of cardio per day because it seems like the program is meant for someone who has already lost the weight they wanted to lose and just wants to develop their muscles. Let me tell you, though... my chest and shoulders are sore, sore, sore today! and it feels great... hehe

P.S. - I faced my fears, bought two pregnancy tests, took one over the weekend, took one this morning and... I'm not pregnant! :bigsmile:

P.P.S. - I've decided to become a nun.

Morning all,

211.5 last week.
210 this week.

Had a good saturday night with beers and ribs, paid for it the next 2 days.

New routine to help get my butt back in gear.
I let Tony kick my butt in P90 Cardio 3/4. 750 calories burned today.

Off to shower.

Well....No loss/No gain. Not sure if to be sad or thankful???:ohwell:

277.5

I need the motivation to exercise in the morning. It seems like my day gets away from me & next thing I know I didn't fit my exercise in. I am just not a morning person. I have tried in the past. Guess I just need to force myself. ..???....???

Any suggestions on how to turn into a morning exciser?

Well - I lost .2 this week. Not sure why (yes, I know it's better than nothing). All weekend I have been digging holes, raking and shoveling rocks and dirt, and now this morning I installed 500 sq feet of sod. Been working my butt off. I did notice my daily calorie count dropped because I was just so busy and forgot to eat more. For some reason my body prefers to lose weight at about 1600-1700 calories a day. When I go lower than that, it just holds on to it. Two days ago I was actually up 2 pounds! I'll try to get more calories in earlier in the day. Can't wait til this backyard project is completely done so I can get back to normal exercise. Not liking the manual labor. I still have to lay the rest of the sod in the side yard when it cools down later.
Looks like there have been some good weight losses this week - good job guys! :flowerforyou:

Hey blue team!

I'm 156 this week. That's no change from last week's weigh in, but I'm very happy with it! I had so much work to do after my crazy weekend of eating too much & having my TOM. Hopefully next week will be better!

Congrats to everyone!

Try doing only 15min in the morning. You'll get used to getting up ealier and then can increase the time a little more. That's how I started and once you start, you'll realize it's better than coffee for waking up.
