Thanks, I needed that. I'm feeling the effects of this 5,000 calorie burned thing right about now. Doing the exercise is not the problem, the soreness that is now setting in is a problem. Monday and Tuesady I really thought I may be able to hit my 7,000 that I initially said I would like to. Right now I have a different story, I'm not even gonna try! I will still try to hit my 5,000 though. It's only 1900 more. I can do it. I can do it. I can do it..... I'll never say I'll do it again. I'll never say I'll do it again.
Plus, not sure how much to eat with burning that kind of calorie. It sort of feels like it defeats the purpose if I burn 1,000 just to eat 1,000 more. I ate around 1550-1600 the last 2 days. I'm feeling pretty tired and lethargic right now, so I'm thinking it wasn't enough. Either that or it was the alarm clock that went off at 5:30 AM. One or the other.
Lori - we just chatted about this a few minutes ago, but I'm having calorie issues, too. I think we need counseling. *hugs*
The calories in vs. the calories out mystery continues.
It's a hard call. I'm working out to burn fat. I need to remember that if I'm working that hard I need to eat more. Even though it just seems wrong! It's all the garbage we've been 'told' over the years- eat less burn more.
Please be careful with overtraining and not eating enough...ya'll are wearing me out and making me hungry like I didn't just eat dinner!0 -

so what'd ya have?? cuz I had 3 pieces of pizza THUS the need to run like an idiot (and I dont mean figurativley) to burn off 300 cals so I would be in my 1400 range!!:laugh:0 -
Day 1 without sweets in the bag. Didn't even want them today, so I'm glad for that.
Got in 42.5 (40 min workout plus 2.5 min cool down) min on the elliptical today. I'm proud of myself for that because I sooooooooooo didn't feel like it. The rain and grossness makes me want to be lazy, but I knew I had to do it today. Never thought I would say it, but thank goodness for Beltway traffic! My BFF was telling me about a doctor in the hospital she works at...this lady is 87 years old and in my friend's Zumba class! I no longer have any valid excuses about not working out.0 -

:laugh: I felt the same way at the gym the other day. There was a woman on the machines infront of me. Around 70 I would say. she was smiling and upping the weights. I just smiled back but found myself doing an extra set. Well she got me good when she went to the stretching area and did a full our scissor split!! OMG I would be like a wish bone if I did that......SNAP:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
I am careful with the overtraining with not eating enough. Been there done that when I started going to the gym and working out more. I found out real fast 1200 calories wasn't enough. I sort of felt like I do today. I thought I could get away with it for a short period of time, you know, snap it back in gear. Not so much.
If I'm going to burn 1,000 calories for more than one day in a row, I'm going to have to eat accordingly. Here and there getting that kind of burn and not eating enough will be fine, not on a consistent basis.
I don't eat all my exercise calories. I try to figure out a happy balance. I had been eating 1800 on hard workout days but I wasn't doing them back to back. Who knows!
What I do know is I am ready for bed. Although, I think i ate half a watermelon while I was making dinner. That ought to haunt me all night long.
Shuntae- Beltway traffic. Are you nuts? We lived in Calvert County before we moved here. I never liked or even remotely thought beltway traffic was good.0 -

LOL Since I leave work at 4:30, I can usually avoid a fair amount of traffic and be home by 5:15. I only said it was a good thing today because it slowed down a little right before the exit I take to go to the gym. Going there is a great way to kill time. Plus, the Baltimore Beltway is nowhere near as horrible as the Cap. Beltway. I refuse to drive 495 unless absolutely necessary.
Oh, I forgot to tell yall...I have just about lost my sister! (She weighs 104.5 :bigsmile: )0 -
Are the results up yet? I didnt see them, I didnt lose this week, but I am ok with that I didnt eat the best I could last week, so back to the ole band wagon , didnt eat what I wanted today. This is my 3rd biggest loser, so I am goona hit a pleatu eventually, I am 12 pounds 13 pounds away from goal weight.0

Sure I passed out cold from not eating and exercising too much. that was years ago and not even the DOCTOR told me why I passed out. Only told me to eat more. It took Banks to teach my how and why.
Good night Lori!!
I cant wait to toast your 52 pound weight loss next week (and my 136......please Dear Lord)0 -

Hellooooooooooooo 110 pounds lost!! That is crazy!! How many 100 pound losers do we have on this team!! Amazing ppl you all are!
WOOT!!!:drinker:0 -
Hey everyone! I guess I am gonna give up candy for this week. For some reason I have been craving it and not sure why. I am hoping gum doesn't qualify for that because I gotta have that so I don't eat so much at work. And I didn't do any kind of exercise today unless you count going to the grocery store and I know I didn't get my heart rate up enough for it to mount up to anything. Tomorrow will be a better day. Then this afternoon my mom was making fried pies.....again. Blackberry and my favorite-strawberry! Dang it!! It's not bad enough that it is sweets but they are FRIED SWEETS! Uugghhhh!!! Sounds like you all are doing so great so it's time for me to kick it up a notch so you all can be proud to have me on your team like I am proud to be on your team!!0

Clean up complete. Nearly 10 hours of it. Forgot my to get my hrm going a couple of times (it's a cheap-y). Burned well over 1400 calories. I'm beat. I may not be able to move tomorrow....we'll see. But, I'm very proud of what I accomplished, especially since DH was not able to get off of work, so he didn't get home until after 5:30....anyway. Just waiting on DH.
Niighty Night friends!0 -
Time for the bed time post!
Punished myself good at the gym. Ran my 5k and did some serious strength training and some yoga stretches. Really pushed myself on the treamill tonight throwing in some 10 mph sprints on of which lasted for 5 minuetes. Man are my legs grumpy now. lol . I am totally excited yet freaked out because my 5k is this sunday. I know it will be loads of fun, I just have this habit of running to fast and getting to tired. I have to focus on pacing myself.
Everyone is doing such an incredible job I wish I had time to address everyone individually but alas I am sleepy. Just a few shout outs tonight.
Marla-Again we find ourselves like two ships that pass in the night. lol Busy little bees we are. Pat the graduate on the back for me and I hope you and your family are blessed today.
Samantha-How's the training going for the big run at disney?
Jeannie-Have I told you how adorably positive you are! A great example to the rest of us and a darn good friend too!
Shuntae-WTG on getting yourself moving at the gym. The workouts we do when we don't feel like it are the most important ones.
Lori-Jeannie is right, eat woman eat. Your body needs it.
Roni-108 dang pounds... sheesh woman here I am staring at your ever shrinking back side again. Hard keeping up with you! amazing work!
To the rest of you,
Much love and blessings to all!
NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
PEACE OUT GIRL SCOUTS.

Wow-- I am so bloomin' tired I can't see straight-- hello my beloved team.
We're getting a good test of what life will be like if my mother-in-law comes to live with us, and it will certainly tax us. We're in a very rare situation-- teens graduating high school, toddlers cutting teeth and elderly parents needing around the clock care. These are the times that try mens souls, my friends-- I pray that I am found worthy when all is said and done.
This day found us on the go from the moment we awoke. Shopping for graduation dinner barbeque goodies, cake baking, fruit salad making, macaroni salad prepping-- the house was abuzz. Plus we need to assign one body to Caleb and one to grandma at all times. Interesting stuff.
The graduation was lovely. Had to be moved indoors-- bit rainy. Thankfully I was able to get grandma a seat, but oh my poor piggies-- three students families had to pick up posthumous diplomas for their deceased children-- heartbreaking-- we are blessed my friends. Nobody needs the reminder more than yours truly--
Dragging my weary behind to bed-- don't know when I'll get my typing done, but it can't be done tonight.
Hug your babies, kiss your spouse-- trials be damned-- we're blessed, folks.0 -
Hey everyone!
I'm beat I just did 8 hours of math homework and a test that I failed!! great!:grumble:
I will try to get the results up sometime tomorrow. I am planing on spending most of the day with my youngest. We were out all day with the oldest today so Ava is ALL MINE tomorrow!!
Night night!!0 -
Morning all!!0

Grr. I just typed out a big long response and clicked something and it's all gone. So. Good morning. I'll try again later.0

Good morning all!! No one is about on this Thursday morning!! Where are you? I think I am giving up candy and gonna try to give up the soft drinks again this week. I didn't fair too well with that one the other week. So now it's time for me to kick it up a notch with Jeannie and Lori and all the others wanting to get this done. I don't care if I am my goal weight by the end of summer but I would like to be there before Christmas. Ok so I gotta get some cleaning done and get my workout in today and drink my water! Plus I gotta get some chicken in the crock pot because I am making chicken casserole for supper so I have to get a move on! Everyone have a great day!
Marla-you are one of the strongest women I know. You are totally awesome!0 -
Grr. I just typed out a big long response and clicked something and it's all gone. So. Good morning. I'll try again later.
Lori I have done the same thing and it always makes me sooo mad when that happens!! Poor girl!0 -
Alright, let's try again.
Renae- love the new AV. You need to make a no fried foods rule in your house.
Marla- I say it all the time, you amaze me. You are a great inspiration to me. Your family is very lucky to have you.
Sam- the math. Sorry. The class can't last forever, right? Keep chugging away.
Kati- sorry about your mess, but glad you got it cleaned up. I had a similar experienc once in our basement that was our family room, 2 boys bedrooms and our storage room. We were gone for 3 days and came home to a foot of water. The musty smell was horrid. It was Black Friday so I had been up since like 3AM shopping and then we drove 3 hours home and I was already beat and we worked most of the night. Not fun.
Andrew- I do eat, just trying to find a happy balance with increased workouts. I am not in the 1200 caloire club, nor have been for a while. It wasn't enough. I will figure it out somehow.
Jeannie- Did you really go with DH to the doctor to weigh yourself? Ok, you might have a problem. I'm thinking that a month is a bit extreme for your first time without the scale. I get your obsession though. I weighed myself 3 times yesterday because the number was way less than I expected. Now I'm scared it was a fluke and I want to get back on to double check... but I gave it up this week, so I'm not. I'm not expecting to hit 52 pounds next week. I'll be thrilled with 50.
Shuntae- Captial Beltway. Blah! I used to drive it every other weekend to met my ex so my boys could go with him. So Friday night I'd battle it from Andrews to 270, meet in Gaithersburg, drive home and then do it all again on Sunday. Traffic on Friday's was horrific. Sunday was hit or miss. If there was a game it could get bad, I used to pay attention to the football schedule and plan meeting times around it!
Sorry for those I missed. This old brain isn't what it used to be.
Time to get moving. Off to the beach and I have stuff to get ready, kids to roll out of bed, a dog to feed, a scale to avoid.0 -

Thanks Lori!
My mom lost her job right after Christmas and my dad may lose his in August so me, DH and DD moved in with my parents to help them out. So we live in their basement but it's set up as our own house. The only thing we don't have is a kitchen and a bathroom but the bathroom is right behind the basement door. But we also get the water leaks when it pours and that is all it has done in over a month but since we cleaned the gutters it isn't as bad. Just in one storage one now it leaks. And about the fried food thing, I know I don't have to eat it but I feel bad if she cooks and I don't eat. I guess I'm torn. But I have said something about it before. My parents won't diet or even eat anything healthy. I have tried so many times. My dad has acid reflux so bad it's gonna kill him and we have told my mom if he lost weight it would help so much but it doesn't help. She says he won't do it. My dad is one of those men that eats meat and potatoes and doesn't like anything new. Sometimes if I cook he won't eat because I like using different spices and stuff. And we have 3 grills and my mom won't use them and since I work 12 hours I can't be here to cook most days. But today I am cooking chicken casserole and broiling the chicken to start with. At least that is better than fried. I told my mom before we were eating fried pork chops, fried potatoes and green beans fried in bacon grease. How unhealthy can you get? My mom is skinny as a rail so she is fortunate but I also know she isn't healthy. Maybe I will just have to be mean and stop eating whatever she fries, which is most things. I talked her into grilling chicken one day and she said your dad will have to have it fried next time. Ok well then it's time for me to stop eating what they eat. I will find something more simple to eat instead of all the fried foods. Thanks again Lori. Sorry for making the post soooo long!!!0 -
Bobbi-Your stomach does look amazing. I don't believe mine will ever look that good so I will be glad to look half as great as you do! Keep it up!!!
Thank you Renae 0 -

Just spent $56 on me. I so deserve this. 2 pair of pants, 1 skirt and a new bathing suit. A 2 piece. Go me!0

Thanks all. I just love my new boy - he is just puppy dog sweet.
Sounds like you have all been doing well with the challenge this week. I had no sweets yesterday and so far, so good today.
Renae - I am just avoiding obvious sources of sugar and sweets. Natural sugars (honey, fruit) are OK in my book - I'd go nuts if I had to shut it all down. I think you need to approach this stuff carefully.
Marla - congrats on the graduation. I can't believe there were 3 sad families - we lived in a small town, so only had about one family a year. Unbelievably sad.. sorry..:brokenheart:
Back to the heating pad for me.. hoping to get scheduled for an MRI this afternoon, but haven't heard from the doc yet - need to find out what is going on with this back, still very painful.
Back later..
Janie0
