RED TEAM WEEK 10 RECRUITING!

Im so excited to be part of this group now! I need more motivation during these summer months! A little about me, my name is Julie and I have a 14 month of son. My husband is in the Marine Corps and is currently in Afghanistan. I really want to lose a bunch of weight before he gets home in Dec. I would love to be down to 130-135 by then.

Hi Everyone!!

Happy Wednesday! It is nice to see some new faces around here!! I hope you stay and enjoy yourselves. (You won't be sorry!!) :flowerforyou:

Well, all is quiet around here. I have put off running the past few days to work on school work. :grumble: I am planning on running at least 5 miles today, as long as I do not have that nagging feeling that I NEED to do my homework now!! Once my summer classes are over, I will be able to get back into my routine!!

Well, I just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing. And to welcome all of the new people!!
WELCOME!!!:bigsmile:

So, I couldn't go to the gym today because I had to leave super early because it's test day with my wonferfully annoying doctors. And I won't be back until the afternoon, and I can just never work out in the afternoon... only the morning. :ohwell: They weighed me at 180.6 - again, disappointing because I've had a wonderful past 10 days, but its ok. Even if I maintain for the remainder of the summer, I'll be ok with it, because I can lose weight more easily during the school year (probably the opposite of most people...). It's because my mother likes to keep us all nice and plump. :ohwell: But whatever. I'll get there, eventually, even if it takes 10 times longer than it takes everyone else.

Hello everyone!

Andrea - it's def. water weight. Don't fret too much!

I hope everyone had a good day. Mine was not that great, but not horrible! Tomorrow WILL be much better.

I will be away Sunday, Monday and Tuesday (And Thursday and possibly Friday). So, I will not be making any chart next week. Sorry team! :frown: And I will be weighing-in unofficially on Saturday and then again on Wednesday when I return - hopefully... the number will not increase!

I am afraid to go to work tomorrow. I requested off all next week, because I would be away. But then they don't have me scheduled AT ALL the week after. I mean, I've been working 2 (sometimes 3) days a week for my retail job, but still 0 days??? So I'm worried that they might be sick of me. It seems like a stupid thought, but I worry about things like this. I mean, I wouldn't even be on the schedule if they didn't want me anymore, right? Ugh. I'll just have to write a note mentioning that I AM available and more than eager to come in the week after next... perhaps the manager who makes the schedule misinterpreted my last note (she's been away...so I didn't get to personally speak with her).

Anyway, I need to stop worry about silly things.

I'm going to go practice my saxophone, clarinet and bass clarinet now. I haven't played in over a week! And perhaps if it's not too late when I'm done, I'll pull out the violin and continue teaching myself my first string instrument!

Simsusan, of course you can join. Welcome. We typically weigh-in on Mondays.

Well I have another big picnic this weekend! Tomorrow is our family reunion and I my family is full of awesome cooks! I am feeling pretty motivated though. So I will do my best to stick to the fruit and veggie trays.

Hey ladies I was in New Orleans for a week and a half with pleanty of good food & no free WiFi :grumble: but I'm still here on the team (haven't weighed myself or logged any food since last Wednesday though) but I will jump back in the loop on Monday!

What a horrible week this has been for me! Started off so depressed that I didn't eat for 2 days and then for the next 2 I only ate once a day and now today I'm getting back on track of eating 3-4 times again. My body has been going crazy... and as a result I shot up a few pounds :noway: (please be water weight!). I'm really not looking forward to mondays weigh in.

Liz - Chin up, girl. It's probably water weight and your body freaking out that you weren't eating. You'll drop 'em quick! I hope you are doing better! :flowerforyou:

Monique - I do not have a wii fit, but my friend does and I played it once. It was fun.

All right, so this will be my last post until sometime on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. I'll have to weigh-in on Wednesday (fingers crossed!) since I will be away. That also means no spreadsheet. Sorry.

So, I hope everyone has a fantastic next few days.
