    April..... pizza is the :devil: and unfortunately for me, Morgolis is addicted to it. He always wants it and his favorite kind to get is from Costco, which is INSANE for calories per slice. Im not that fond of the costco pizza tho. I figure if its gotta be so many calories I want GOOD pizza, not just greasy whatever from the cheapest place. :laugh:

    Anyway... dont beat yourself up. The gain is from the salt and will be gone in a few days. Drink lots of water and you'll be ok. :wink:

    So, Im super excited.....

    Adopt4 called me and asked me if I wanted to go "try on clothes" again so we hit Khols again. I am absolutely in LOVE with thier clearence rack!!! I tried several different things and found 2 shirts...a black satiny dressy one that I LOVE for $3.80 and a black and white striped sweater size large for this fall that was $4!! So for a grand total of $8.20, she bought me 2 very cute tops and we saved $64.90!!

    Now THAT is what I call a good sale!! :laugh:

    Ok here goes sharing of pics, although I hate doing it... the first one is 2 summers ago, I weighed somewhere between 275 and 297. Notice the baggy clothes I wore thinking I was "hiding" how big I was, when in fact it made it look worse! The second is last night, I weighed 230. Still a long way to go...

    ok have to edit those, put them back in a bit..

    ok i'm too tired to figure it out (the pictures were really big, i want them smaller) so I will figure it out later when I have a brain. tomorrow i mean when i've had some sleep.

    Good morning...

    Congrats on the job interviews, LI4G. I'm sure you'll get one of the two you've applied for.

    Yesterday was a total wash for me. Almost a blur. I was so sick...and that's twice in less than a week! Got to learn my limitations...
    Anyway, I managed to track my food until suppertime, and then I just gave up. I have no idea what I ate. Whatever was quick and microwaveable, I think...

    But I did drink lots of water...
    Anyway, back on track today. I'm feeling better. Not "better" enough to run a marathon or anything, but maybe "better" enough to log calories and such...

    LI4G - wow on those sales ... I wish we had a place here that would have those kinds of sales!! And yes I caught 5 nice walleye.. it was great... and I didn't even have to buy my license because it was free weekend fishing this weekend, I lucked out :smile:

    cyndee - :flowerforyou: I'm with you... I need to get back on track today... I was so bad yesterday, with all the food yesterday and then not drinking my water because of being out on the boat and I didn't want to have to keep going to the bathroom so I barely drunk anything :laugh:

    Can someone tell me how do I put pictures on here?

    Congrats to all the losers and maintainers WTG!!

    April and Theresa get into a dual with the padded slippers to keep one another on track. Will let Cyndee and Lorann participate too.:laugh:
    I have been back on track since last tuesday. I have opened up my log to friends. Feel free to gander. One should know that my dietician wants me to eat a special food you'll see there just eating earlier in the day:tongue: I don't like to list specific food because I don't want to create a hunger in others for it.

    I love a good sale. Awesome to our resident perfessional shoppers.

    Must run. Heading out for a bike ride with friends. Hoping to hit the farmers market. Then home to do yard work.

    Celebrate your small changes.

    I want to shop toooooo. I have no one to shop with. And I haven't lost enough to need new clothes. And when I do lose a size I still have clothes to fit that ize so no need to go buy, it will all feel new again! LOL

    Ok APPARENTLY Don didn't get that "I'm just not that into you" cause he text me at 9:30 last night trying AGAIN to get me to let him come over. I was at the casino and he told me to call him when I was done and maybe he would come over. NOT!!! This guy had me so creeped out that when I went to the bathroom he bought me a pepsi and I wouldn't drink it because I wasn't there when the bartender brought the drink to the table.

    Can you log walking all over downtown at the Kent Cornicopia Days lookng at all the displays as excercise??? I'm getting my treadmill back from my gentleman friends house soon. I told him last night I was ready for it. He's had it over 2 yrs. He had both his knees replaced at the same time 2 1/2 yrs ago and I loaned it to him for physical therapy but he only used it once or twice. Been collecting dust at his house. I really didn't have a place to store it so I didn't take it back, but I will put it in my room in front of my tv when I get it back. Then I will have to have you all MAKE me ue it. You will have to yell at me.

    Not much else going on for me. Hope everyone is doing well.

    Cyndee feel better and stop over doing it. I know how you feel. It usually take me 2 days to recover from a little bit of over doing it and it is miserable..so stop overdoing it!

    Granny what have you been up to? Did your friend come and get you out of your house?

    Adopt: That was a scrary story. I had prayed that morning that God would let me know if this guy was an ok guy. I wasn't comfortable the whole timeI was with him and kept getting checks in my spirit and I have to go with that feeling. It wasn't just firt date jitters. I learned a long time ago to trust in instincts. It's hard sometimes cause people generally want to give someone the benefit of the doubt and be kind, but when your insides scream at you, you have to listen. Thanks for sharing your story and I'm sorry you had to run away to feel safe. I'm glad you're in Washington cause I have a good chance to get to meet you. :bigsmile:

    Well have a good day all. I'm gonna go swing for a bit and have a cup of coffee then make my way downtown to Cornicopia days.

    Good morning..

    I've been weeding stupid tumbleweeds for 3 hrs so far but the drive way is almost done... We have to get rid of these suckers cuz we are having rock delivered next week.. I am hot, sticky and stinky.. And I ran into a snake.. hate those things...

    I am weighing but for now am seeing no loss. I am just about back on track... although we went for Mexican last night and I have to stop... TODAY I will follow my plan.. I am so good at work but for some reason as soon as I get home its eating on.. I have to get back on track.. I just have too....

    Everyone else congrats and great job....

    Nita, you need to figure out what at home triggers you to eat. If you can be good at work but not at home, then something is triggering you. Maybe write down what just happened before you put food in your mouth. Maybe you can figure out why and then when you know you can work on it not being a trigger. I know for me it is when I come home and no one is here. I get lonely so I eat. Now I get lonely I get on facebook then I don't eat.

    I decided to wait on the pictures and have one taken of me that is in cute clothes rather than too tight clothes, those are just for me to see the changes in my body but I don't want to post them for the world to see! So I'll post a picture of me 2 summers ago and a new one, both in casual clothes... so wait for that... have to see what losingit is doing today, see if she can take a nice picture for me.

    Dropped hubby at the airport to meet the guys coming in from Europe. I saw him for a whole half hour today and that's probably all I'll see him till bedtime and he's ready to drop. The Europeans are big drinkers and so I imagine they'll have a good party tonight at some bars... the stories of what trouble these guys get into is pretty funny. I do enjoy the stories, as long as hubby is telling the story and not participating in whatever trouble they got into! ha!

    Cleaning house so that if he does have them over, I'm not embarrassed. Because of the heat of the last 2 weeks, my house is pretty dirty, giving it a good scrub down in the downstairs at least. Told him he owes me big for this weekend so he has to clean our bathroom upstairs. LOL Yeah that might happen....

    Had a big splurge last night and got a raspberry milkshake from Burgerville, they are fresh berries and they only do these shakes when things are in season... mmmm... although I shouldn't have gotten a large, because it was waaayyy too much. I drank it and then for the next 3 hours, ugh, I was overfull. I hate to wonder how much I went over on calories yesterday, but I needed the treat since it's only once a year they have that, and I missed the strawberry ones last month.

    Back to cleaning house... nearly time to put some boys down for naps, they WILL be taking naps today, LOL.

    Hi Everyone...well yesterday and today were sort of a wash for me, didn't do much monitoring of my calories..but was aware of what I was eating and doing which is a good thing. But been too busy to monitor them. Tried hard to monitor what I ate yesterday...but kind of got down and out on life and just gave up. Today - well been busy cleaning house all day...that is a good thing cause that burn calories and it is all because Cindy inspired me with her comment on Facebook today...way to go Cindy...so on that note...back on track tomorrow. Thinking of heading out to the stores tonight to buy some ankle/wrist weight and a podometer so when I go walking I get more resistance and can monitor my walking better.

    Last night had a couple of Long Island Ice Tea's...anyone know the calories in those.. I am afraid to find out. LOL But was nice to relax and listen to Bayfest here as KISS played last night and I could hear them all the way to my house...which is a good distance trust me.
    Tonight is STP...so another night outside listening to tunes...as you can't sleep cause they are so loud.

    Well that is it for now...see ya all tomorrow. Button

    Bee- Definitely trust yer gut! A pepsi in the bathroom? What...Was he trying to cop a peek? LOL That would creep me out too, especially on a first date!! I seriously am glad that Im not part of the dating realm anymore. I liked my independence but I sure attracted some winners (not)! Not that I ever plan to be single again, but if that day ever happened... Id definitely stay that way for a very long time! Ive already found my soulmate though, so its easy for me to say.

    Very cool that you get your own treadmill. I wish I had bought the one I was thinking of buying last year at costco when I had the money, but didnt. I wasnt living this lifestyle at the time though and was afraid Id spend the money then never use it.

    I just got done working in my yard. Pulling weeds and doing some clean up. Took apart a whole planter box full of strawberry plants and put them in the ground. They have been in there for about 4 years and Ive never divided them up so I was pretty surprised to have so many baby plants this year! Im hoping next spring will yield a nice crop of strawberries so I can stop buying them by the flat to make jam. I have another whole container full of plants to divide too and Im kinda outta room for them, which is hard to believe with the size of our yard. Im gonna end up dividing them into more containers just to keep them growing and multiplying. I also checked out a white raspberry plant that has migrated from my neighbors yard, under the fence and up next to my deck. They are getting fruit and man are they yummy!! Im definitely digging them out this fall and moving them to a better spot by the garden so we can get more of those. I love free plants! :laugh: I picked a giant handfull of blueberries which are now ripe. Would love to get a couple more blueberry bushes since the ones I have are doing so good now.

    anita- snakes creep me out! I only get garden snakes because I live in a rural area. the tumbleweeds don't sound fun.

    CB- that is a creepy story and you do need to follow your gut. i'll continually ask you about your treadmill.

    A4-mmmmm. too bad you over did it and didn't enjoy it quite as much.

    button-i hate to be the bearer of bad news but it is not good to walk with the weights on your ankles. I had advised a friend and just this week she was doing it and tore her miniscus.

    l4g-I haven't made it out to the yard. your like the queen of the garden. I planted late and small.
    But watch out next year. Hubby made me two raised beds (18"). I am reaping the rewards of my neighbors garden and the famer's market.

    I'm just not believing my heart rate monitor. Said I burned over 3000 on a 20 mile ride on my mountain bike. I logged it but don't believe it. I've made my food/exercise open to friends so feel free to keep me accountable.

    Thanks for the information prayerfulmom, but I already bought them. Bummer!!! Question what is a miniscus anyways...never heard of it.
    I can put these on my wrist too...so maybe that will work and give me some resistance there instead when walking - Trust me my arms could use the resistance too. To be honest my whole body could use some resistance...lol. But that is what we are all here for right.

    Glad Cindy showed me this website...nice to have the support.

    I lost 2 lbs! I hope that doesn't jinx it. I have been drinking water and eating low calorie meals for last few days. Finally, something is working.:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Key for me is to get the motivation back to plan/stick to meals.

    anita - you can do it, hang in there.:flowerforyou:

    Li4g - You better get exercising or I will beat you to that 1.5 miles in15 minute challenge! :happy:

    **I will work on before and after pics too.

    **Just noticed the other day I have lost 5 inches around my waist since starting. No wonder the pants fit different!

    Good Morning Team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    April and Sheila - I think today is the day you two were going to be together. Have a fun filled time and enjoy. Don't forget to post every once in a while if you can.

    Healthymom - WTG on the inches WOW that is terrefic.

    CrazybeeRX - get the treadmill back and use it. It is good for you. A lot of my exercising is walking - just now getting into wogging. If I lived closer we would go shoppping together. And girl you need to trust your instincts with this guy. I am so glad you did not drink that pepsi.

    Prayerfulmom - enjoy your posts. I do celebrate the small changes and I hope everyone else does too.

    Lorann - Congratulations on the fish catch - sounds delicious. You will get back on track girl, you can do this.

    kjllose - WTG getting back on track. It is hard with dealing with your mom but you can do this too. So through everything stay focus and thing of the long term outcome - healthier.

    ktndj82104 - you can do this. you wanted to do this before husband got home - so just get up and move. you will feel better and more refreshed after you get it done. Lulu has her slipper waiting..................................................

    LI4G and Adopt4 - WTG on the sales - what great findings. I will go shopping with you two anyday.

    Cyndeebee - I hope you are feeling better.

    Well gang I think I am back on the exercise band wagon - I have done 40 minutes on treadmill this morning and 67 minutes aerobices. Now to get with the eating.program things would be great. I went to a bicycle races with s friend yesterday - had a good time and great conversation. Weeks at work will get longer and harder - my girl friend is on medical leave. So I am hoping to walk both on break and lunch. Help out with the exercising,

    Have a great Sunday everyone

    rejoicing in a new day!

    button-:smile: i can imagine the old exercises on the floor doing leg lifts with those weights.

    IG- didn't that bike race make you want to just go out an exercise=) Great job in getting back in the swing.

    Not sure if I'll get any official exercise in. I'll probably come home to do some yard work after church and take the dogs for a walk and maybe a swim in the creek=) Today is usually my off day.
