Sixers Turning Up The Heat - Week ONE

Hello Sixers!
I just wanted to say a quick hello today and hope you are all doing well. It's been great meeting (reading) you all the last couple of days and it is definitely inspiring as well.
I had a good day for eating today so far. No real excercise though since it was a really busy day going from place to place to do errands and being the mom taxi. Tomorrow is my son's birthday party so I will have to try extra hard to be a good girl and stay away from the Dairy Queen ice cream cake...lol.
Well, have a great weekend and I look forward to reading more from all of you.
Take care,
Tammy

I am out of town. Left NC at 11pm last night, arrived in Atlanta this morning a little before 6am.
My (estranged) husband's grandfather took a bad fall and is in the Critical Care Unit (CCU) in the hospital. the fall caused a swollen spine which has left him paralyzed, temporarily we hope. His throat is swollen shut, he's on a ventilator only to facilitate his breathing and give him medication, and a feeding tube to give him nutrition while he recovers. He has a DNR but all these machines aren't sustaining his life, only quickening the healing process.
The estranged husband has never dealt with death of a family member, and we are close to his grandparents, so I here for him. He needs my support, as a friend.
In the meantime, I'm eating garbage and drinking liquid garbage. I'm sure I'm gaining weight. I'm not concerned right now.
Just an update on where I am. Hope you all are doing well.0 -

Keep it up newbies..........

Hello ladies, I'm baaack! Sorry I was MIA for a while. DH's grandma was in the hospital my last post (gosh, new challenge, must have been two weeks ago). She had something ruptured in her belly. At 92, she had a DNR, and told the doctor she didn't want surgery. So... comforting measures only. She woke up some on the second day, but not again after that. Surprisingly, she lingered for over a week...
We had family staying here, as well as at BIL's and the IL's. And each day, we'd rotate houses for a big everybody get together dinner. The company was nice, I've heard more blackmail stories for DH than you can shake a stick at. The meals weren't always the healthiest... Pork pie one night, grilled fish another (it was all the side salads and the clam dip on potato chips that killed that meal), spaghetti dinner another time.
So... Earlier this week, we had Grandma's funeral, everyone has gone home, and things are getting back to normal. Whew! No need for condolences, Grandma was ready to go, like I said, she was the one who didn't want the surgery. She's in a better place!
So many newbies, welcome!
Lauryn & Cathy, sounds like you are both happy in your new digs! Good for you
Tamm, (and Tiff) hope you two had a good visit!
Rhiannon, hello and here's to sticking to the new plan!
hello's to everyone I missed, after 4 pages of postings, I simply can't remember anything! I'll post my weight (back to what it was-blech) on Tuesday and get involved!0 -
Hi all...
Checking back in. I was off the computer most all of yesterday as it was having problems. Frustrating day with a variety of things and I found myself downing some junk food. Made up for it by ahving a light dinner but brownies and chips are not a good balanced diet. I'm back on track today though so yeah for me. I dont know about you all but sometimes you just need to have a 'free' day and not beat yourself up over it. Trick is to get back on track the next day. In the past I would tend to just give up but using this site has helped me stay more consistent and I'm fine with losing at a slower pace.
Sundays are long runs with friends in the morning so I did nearly 10 miles in the heat...yippee, I can really eat the calories on days like today but thus far have stayed well within the bounds. AFter my run today I saw a new number (low) on the scale today. I know if won't stay as it was water loss but usually if i see a new number within a few days it will become real.
Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Lauryn - my thoughts and prayers are with you.
I hope everyone else has had a great weekend. We spent 3 hours at the pool Saturday. I've been trying to catch up on laundry today. I was thinking of counting the trips up & down the steps as part of my exercise today! I got WAY behind on laundry this past week & was up & down the steps numerous times taking clean clothes up.
We're leaving Thurs afternoon to go on a 4 day vacation to my MIL's vacation cabin in the mountains of Virginia. It's rather rustic. There is electricity & running water, but there's no computer access & cell phone coverage is almost nonexistent. I thought ahead though & I'm taking a journal to write down what all & eat and my exercise, so I can log it when I get back on the 6th.
Good night!0 -

Good Morning Ladies,
Wow it has been so hot here. Sat was 105 and yesterday 110 and not going to be much different today. So I am off to work early today. I didn't do as good as I thought I would over the weekend. But with the heat I really didn't care. although I did get 2 wonderful compliments from family freinds that we haven't seen in a long time. So that made me feel good.
I need to get a cup of coffee in me and maybe some breakfast before I head out of here.
Have a great day.

Good morning ladies!
Good Golly! :noway: There's NO way I can catch up on all the posts now! I will try later!
Welcome to Martha, Tammy, Nikki, and Melody!
I was home Friday with a horrible migraine, had a wedding on Saturday, and finished the nursery yesterday...well almost. I have a few last things to do and then I'll take some pictures! YAY! Busy day today at work since I was gone Friday. But I'll check back later and try and get caught up on posts!
Cathy...I did read about your pooch...and I would try ground beef, scrambled eggs, and cooked rice. Mix it all together and let pup enjoy! This is a stomach pleaser for sure! Always works with my two!

Hi All,
I made it through my son’s birthday party and managed to eat healthy at the same time. Today I went on a very muddy hike but I feel invigorated and happy that I did it even if I was caked with mud afterwards...lol. I went with my daughter and got some amazing pictures that I wouldn’t have gotten on a tamer trail so it was definitely worth it.
Bunny – I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you find comfort in the memories you have.
Lauryn – So sorry to hear about the hardship for yourself and family. Being so supportive of your ex is truly amazing and a strong testament to your character.
Martha – Wow, reading about how active you are is very inspiring. I hope someday to get where you are. It may take time but I feel it will happen.
Amy – Your vacation sounds so scenic and wonderful. I am on vacation too but we are staying at home and getting stuff done around the house. Have fun and take pictures!!
Chipper – LOL... I talk that way too, with actions. I find it funny to see other people do it too. Sorry to hear it was a stressful weekend and I hope it all turns out okay.
Kel – OMGoodness, I wouldn’t be able to deal with heat that extreme unless it was a dry heat. Here it is a very muggy, humid type heat we get so I usually start complaining around 80 degrees...lol.
Take care all and I hope you all have a happy, good, and fulfilling week.

Remember everyone, NEW THREAD in the morning. I'm going to go make it now...0
