Lynnie if we could all just go away together for a 6 week bootcamp, we could come back looking like super models. Oh wait, they cant make you 5'7" tall........well we can look like miniature super models!!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Mini models? lol. Oh honey I have a lot of work to do a lot of years ago to be any kind of model. blah.
Let me step into my way back machine.

Good morning Good morning!!! I hope you all have a great weekend!

Jeannie-Can I come away to bootcamp with you all too? I wanna be with ya'll and be a super hot model TOO!!!

I worked my butt off yesterday, literally, I think with the jumping rope and riding the bicycle. It felt good too! Yesterday I went to Walmart because I needed some more shorts since I only had one pair I could wear to work without my butt hanging out. I was wearing a size 14 BUT I bought a 12! Woohoooo!!! I got into a smaller size! It's a start! And this morning I put on an old pair of pj pants that were tight around the butt and my thighs and they fit perfect now!!! Yay!! I am excited, can ya tell?

So this is my motivation for the week and it makes me want to kick it up a few notches too! So I am gonna try super hard like you ladies that are wanting to do something big by the 4th of July or whatever date you chose. Let's do this ladies!!!!! I know we can!

Congrats! That's awesome!

I actually went on a date with my hubby last night for a going away for one of his guys. I even had a beer. Make that 2. I haven't had a drink for a looooong time and it was good. I wore a dress and if I can say so myself, I looked smokin' hot. It was low cut, I had on a good bra, things were where they are supposed to be and my hubby noticed and liked. :blushing: One of the other ladies with us told me that the dress was very flattering. Aw shucks, THANKS! It makes you feel good.

In my moment of beer induced 'feeling pretty good' wanted dessert or Dairy Queen. We sort of passed on dessert at the German restaurant we were at and luckily Dairy Queen was closed when we drove past, so I came home and ate some watermelon instead. It worked better into my plans of 'I WILL DO THIS'.

Jeannie, Lynnie, Sam (and all the rest of you)- we can do this. We will do this. Let's get back to where we were when we first started. I planned everything, I measured everything, I logged everything before I ate it. Remember how exciting it was to lose those pounds? Remember how it felt to step on the scale and see it moving? Together I'm sure we can get back there again. I need a kick it back into gear plan. It's on my agenda for this weekend.

Agreed........HIGH FIVE!!:drinker:

Greetings my fine team--

I posted my time away in Proudville, but just wanted to pop in and say hello!!!

Have a great night!!!!!!

Oh yeah-- forgot to tell you-- my 5k was canceled for next week-- fudgesicles-- :grumble:

Have to find another venue-- :ohwell:

Good evening ya'll! It has been quiet in here today. Where is everyone hiding out? I laid out in the sun today for about an hour and boy was it hot as he**!! Can't really even tell I got any sun. Then we attempted to take a nap but that was short lived! Our daughter got up before we got laid down long. Then we ate supper and came home and rode our bikes for a little while and then I jumped rope and now we are relaxing watching some movies. Hope you all had a great day!!! And another great one tomorrow!

Jeannie I love your new AV!!

Jeannie, post a new pic every day if you want. It's fun to see new ones. I think your new av is adorable.

Today is the day. I'm going to sit down and make some goals and some promises to myself. Yesterday was..... well.... today I'm going to sit down and make some goals....lol. When I first started this journey I did not slip up, I did not have bad days. I need to dig down deep and find that motivation. It's there. I used it before, I'm sure I still have it.

You can do it Jeannie!

Goals and a plan and the right mental frame of mind is key for me. I haven't slacked off too much on exercise (probably why I haven't gained a ton!) but my foods are not anywhere near as good as they used to be. I had myself to the point where sweets made me sick to my stomach becasue I wasn't used to them. I CAN NOT say that right now. I've eaten my share of not such good choices lately. (FB friends, don't read my post from today....)

I know 2 things right now. I want 4 stinkin pounds gone before we go home. That's number 1. The second one is that if I don't get my eating back to the way it was, that vacation is going to be a disaster because I will eat everything in sight, all the goodies my mom makes for my kids. Etc. It's good to go from eating really well to vacation and splurging a little. It's not good to go from spurgling already to vacation where it will turn into splurging a heck of a lot!

Mental mind frame..... I'm working on it.

Ok I am going to be as positive as I can and just say oh well one day over won't kill me right? I have been eating right all day and then all of a sudden I got very shakey so I grabed a sandwhich when I was getting M something to eat. One day is NOT going to KILL me!!!I still am shakey hope it will go away soon.

The girls should be going to bed soon and maybe I will just lay down as well who knows!

It has been a quiet day for the black team. I hope it's not cause we all want to BEECH!!! :laugh:

I wouldn't sweat it sam. Beth and I are at my in-laws (or as I refer to it,"the danger
zone") for the weekend. Celebrating dw's 31st b-day. If I can be positive after the amount of"celebrating" I've done in the last two days, than you should be ok. Lol
I'm glad you ate the sandwich woman. Shakey is not good and we care about you far to much to see you keel over.
No worries

You can do it Jeannie!

I printed goals and post its for each day. I am set.

1 week. Period. I will stick to this plan for 1 week. I will let you know how it goes:flowerforyou:

Hey Team!

Had a good day today. Work was a little crazy today...was very busy, but felt like I couldn't get anything done because all the interruptions. At least it went by really quickly. On the positive side, I went home (as in hometown) and got to see my sister and cousin (who are both home from college), my mom, my play sister along with her mom and grandmother. Good times. :bigsmile: Now, I'm back at home (residence) and relaxing.

Asking for good thoughts/prayers for my sister and grandmother...my Granny is in the hospital now with what they always think are mini-strokes, and my sister is having hip surgery on Monday.

Oh my, I will say a prayer for them both.

Thank you! :flowerforyou:

They are both in good spirits...my granny has been to the hospital for this several times before. They always keep her, run all these tests and never find anything. I'm glad that it's not major, but I wish they would figure something out. My sister is just anxious to be able to run again (she runs track in college), so we're hoping that all goes well with the procedure and her rehabbing.
