Great job this week. Keep up the good work.

Great job, losers! I need to step up my game this week!

Carrie ~ It'll come back off, girl! Just keep working at it and don't give up!!!

Great job losers :laugh: :laugh: I was naughty :explode: :grumble: :sad: Grad was too long, I was starving, then we couldn't decide where to go for dinner, so we ended up this Italian Restaurant which was $$, not good and a waste of calories. So then, of course, because I felt blah, my daughter and I had a DQ waffle bowl. Wasn't even that good. Damn PMS week. Going to the lake tomorrow after the Dr.s and plan to do lots, walk and keep moving! Have a good weekend. No computer there Cheers to all for your hard work.:drinker: Kath

Way to go Blues!!

Rach-I hope things get better :flowerforyou: . You've gone through a lot lately so you know you'll get through this too! Oh! and you weren't hiding - you were taking time for you - nothing wrong with that as you obviously needed it!

I did a zumba class at lunch and I love this class, but it kills me everytime. Wonder if I'm ever going to get the hang of it despite taking this class for weeks! Of course everone else in class feels the same way so at least I'm not alone :blushing: I also can't get too upset when my HRM reads 685 calories burned. Woo hoo!

Hello beautiful blues.

Got back from my quick vacation @ the beginning of this week. Luckily... I didn't gain anything at all. Had a bad week, though... just told my boyfriend I at least need a break... if not a complete break-up... so, we'll see... he's been texting me all evening saying he loves me, he's sorry, he never meant to hurt me, he messed up, etc. But, he ended it with... "do what's best for you." :brokenheart: Buh... I don't know right now. I need to workout, but I'm not sure if I really feel up to it. I'm meeting a couple friends later on, but I have hours to kill before then and I'm not sure what to do with myself after work... :indifferent:

Sorry about you and your beau but you do need to do what is right for you!

I know. :ohwell: I know living in the situation we've been in isn't what's right for me. I'm just feeling weird right now. I haven't cried or anything, just completely full of weird. (does that add weight? lol)

Good news...weird is weightless!!! :laugh:

lcorrell14 ~ You know in your heart what is TRULY good for you. I held on to a toxic relationship for YEARS beyond what I should have and it nearly killed me. When I let go of it, I found I was surprisingly OK with things, which made me feel weird. I felt like I should be feeling this great loss. Instead, this heavy weight was lifted off of me and I became me again! And I finally saw the jerk for what he really was! You can do this, girl! You are much stronger than you probably give yourself credit for. :flowerforyou:

Rach ~ I admire your ability to work on cars! I worked for a used car parts company in their office for awhile and I hated the dirty, greasy feeling/smell when I left work. I would NEVER go out to the cars. I am one of those girls that is just stuck between tomboy and girly girl - I have traits of both. It's weird! But it's good that you have something to focus on and something to use as an outlet. Just remember that you need to take care of yourself first and foremost or there won't be anything left of you to help others.

sanifrey ~ I'm rooting for you this weekend! You can do it!

So, yesterday, I had an INCREDIBLY proud moment for about... two minutes. :grumble:

I was super hungry and knew I wasn't going to make it home so I stopped at Chick Fil A and decided on a plain grilled chicken sandwich with a medium diet coke. I bought fresh fruit for my daughter at the store, so I was going to have some of that to go with it instead of fries. I made it to the drive thru and did NOT order fries!!! (SUPER PROUD OF MYSELF!) It's the busiest Chick Fil A that I know of and so they have someone standing on the curb to take your order and they call it in to the folks inside, then you pay, get your food and run because the parking lot is so full. Well, the dude apparently ordered me a "number 1" which means... it included fries. :sad: I didn't realize it until I was already driving away. I talked myself into sharing the fries with my Mom and her friend (that's where I was driving to eat it b/c it's closer than my house) but when I got to my Mom's house, they didn't want it! So, I ate the fries. Next time, I'm checking while I'm at the window and everyone can just wait on me. And if there are fries, I'll either hand them back or throw them away in the trash can outside. I went over my calories by 163! I even just had cheerios for dinner instead of the big meal I had planned. It's still under maintenance calories but I was so proud of my self-control for that shining little moment and then SPLAT! There it went!

ngwife4life - I also admire that even after you had the fries & I don't know how many of us could've overcome that kind of temptation, but even after you had them, you kept in control. It could've been so easy to say - oh heck - I messed up & throw the whole day away by eating everything in sight! I can't tell you how many times in the past that I've done that! I think so many of us have! But MFP is teaching us how to eat, this is not a diet, but rather a way of life! If we work a bit harder with exercise we can have those things we just can't say no to. We can enjoy them without the guilt! Good job on rebounding & keeping your focus! :drinker: You should be proud! :drinker:

Hey guys-back early from the lake due to very bad weather. Thank God! I did nothing but eat while I was there out of boredom. So when se got home I exercised my but off, ate a bit too much Subway, but am so glad to be home. When it is crappy, the kids watch TV, I read my mags, and lie around-our place is small. When it's nice, I can at least exercise on the deck, go for walks, swim, etc. My 12 yr old finally faced her fears though and jumped off the boathouse-3 times! :bigsmile: I'm sooo proud of her, she has a fear of heights and has had peer pressure for years! I got 3 great pics I'll have to add. So, now because I "cheated" last night, I must go and appease my hubby's end of the "contract". :blushing: WAY TO GO BLUES! Here's to learning to love and accept ourselves,and not turn out like Michael Jackson.

Tomorrow is another day fitgal! So get this. I mentioned to you guys that there was a man-who had 4 kids by the way-that was running the 1/2 marathon with 2 of his daughter's. The Manitoba Marathon is always on Father's Day. ANYWAY, I was told that as soon as this guy entered the stadium (100 yards from the Finish Line), he collapsed and they were doing full out CPR on the guy-unsuccessfully. So I knew there had been a few people brought to the Intensive Care at the hospital, but this guy actually never came out of the coma and died yesterday!!!! Now, I am soooo glad my daughter and I stopped and walked lots and didn't try to push it for a better time. How scary! Like I said, my HR was at least 80% for a huge part of the time with the heat, dehydration and body stress already. Goes to show how important those HRM's are cause seeing that number made me stop several times! :drinker:

My weekend was great, but my eating was frustrating. I just logged in my food today as we were out and about and didn't have access to a computer and I overate by 550 calories!!! My portion control was out of control :noway: Oh well, tomorrow is another day, but I will be making up for today some way, some how! Just when I think I'm going to keep on track, something throws me off - namely myself :explode: Am I ever going to get the hang of this???
