Beautiful Blue Team WEEK 4

Sorry I have been MIA this week, work has been :explode: frustrating to say the least.

I wore my new skinny pants (size16) to work last week and no one noticed and i thought maybe they had too much going on or whatever. Wore them again today and still no comments. I know i shouldn't care and to just know that i am in them, but for some darn reason it is really ticking me off, that no one noticed.

I had better make that 50 pounds lost this week or i am going to be upset. I am off of work this week starting Wednesday and I plan to work out twice each day. Once in the morning and once at night. I had better break through this slump i have going on this week.

No one noticed you lost 50 lbs? Geez, I notice EVERYONE, even if it's 10. Probably cause I'm obsessed, I always know how people look, what they eat, etc. But, I always make sure I let them know and tell them WTG! If people haven't said anything, it's cause they're jealous. Plain and simple. Good for you, and keep on going.:drinker:

Well I calculated it out and I jogged 4.1 miles per hour.....:laugh: :laugh: slow and steady! It'll get faster in time....

Rach - :drinker: to a happier you!

jacq-that's awesome that your dad was out there - I was on my own during my lunch hour....i was my own cheerleader.

SANIFREY _ WHERE ARE YOU????

Kathy-hope your daughter is feeling better - that stinks to be sick :sick: ....and now again

chickadee-don't let yourself be too low on calories - I learned that the hard way

Jess - so glad you got a workout in

alapointe - it's crazy that no one notices but I have to say I am in my own world most of the time too tied up in my own thoughts to notice great things about people.....enjoy those 16s and wear them proudly

I love you blue's even if no one notices at work i know i am loosing and wearing smaller clothes. Can't wait for those 14's to fit.

welcome laura817

Welcome! You picked a great Team-we're awesome! Get on the exercise, water drinking, and clean eating wagon with us!

We need a challenge-how about eating more veggies? That's my downfall for sure. :grumble: Let's say you have to post daily or when you can, how many veggie/fruit servings you have eaten. Anyone in?:huh:

I'm in .....

my only question would be what amount count as a serving - like at lunch I had mushrooms and onions on my sandwich about 1/4 cup - does that count?

5 tablespoons of homemade salsa

small cucumber

breakfast was strawberry banana pancakes

so would that count as 4 servings so far??

I am not a huge veggie fan either...

afternoon snack - 1/2 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup blueberries with a dollop of fat free cool whip on top

supper will have brussel sprouts and applesauce with my pork chop

so about 6 servings for me today - WOW - that's pretty good!

Everyone eat your veggies so we all grow up to be strong boys and girls

Leigh - i hope you feel better...just take baby steps....15 minutes is 15 minutes more than you would have done if you did nothing right? right!

My most common protein - chicken, almonds, shrimp, yogurt, peanut butter, eggs, sandwich meats, turkey bacon,

You could try a protein shake once a day if you're low...maybe with breakfast or morning snack...I find if I'll eat breakfast, I am not as hungry at the end of the day...

I'm not a big meat eater myself and I have found that I eat more peanut butter, and drink lots of milk. Also if you are a cereal eater like I am check for protein in that. I always thought I was low on my protein so for about a week I made sure to record and I wasn't as low as I thought. :flowerforyou: I was also thinking about taking protein shakes. I LOVE eggs but I love the whole thing but I never knew it was only 20 calories for just the whites that is good information for me to know.

Im in with the veggies. I have been using those steamers for my freash veggies instead of the cans and my whole family loves them so maybe the next time I'm at the store I will try and see if they have little bag for just one or two people that way I can eat them for lunch.

The kids last day of school is tomorrow and we are debating on what to do for supper. Ugh. I want to treat them but the other part of me wants to be at home and not run around today. I could personally just eat cereal for supper or have a sandwhich of some sort. Im just lazy today.

I shall be working out tonight however.

First off, i apologise for not sending in my weigh ins - I have been MIA for 2 weeks! I have been poorly but getting back into things again slowly. I have what is called thalasaemia trait and get very low haemoglobin sometimes. The most worrying thing now is I've got the 5k run coming up saturday and I have not done any exercise in 10 days! I just hope I don't let anyone down come saturday. A lot of people have supported me in pledging money for this very good cause (am doing a a 5k in aid of breast cancer). I have said to my family I'll do it even if I have to crawl the whole 5k! Please wish me all the best - it's all for a good cause.

I'm sooo bagged but I'm lagging in my squats challenge. :yawn:
j has got me motivated a tad....I'm going down to admire my cleaning job.:drinker:

Nice to see our drifters back! Sometimes, there's just not time.

hgam-You'll be able to run it! Mind over muscle-Once you start-go with a slow pace, and just keep telling yourself you can do it. Walk if you need to, it's not a race. Let your adrenaline flow and you'll be cruisin'!:bigsmile:

Hey Leigh, I've had 3 hernia's repaired. You'll be fine, hang in there-hope there's no twins lerking around.:laugh:

I don't think I'm going to do too well this week. I haven't exercised in 3 days. I'm worried that I keep getting off track on my exercising/cardio and I cant stick to it!! It's so frusturating!
