Beautiful Blue Team WEEK 13

Hi, well ate too much late in the day after my power walk. Miserable today. Stressed about starting work. I need a change! Haha-I've been gone for over 2 yrs. Thought I'd be happy to go back, but am not. :grumble: It's only 4 hours to start, but will be orientated by someone who knows less than me. All my friends (27!) are gone too, and some of the people that are left have been talking badly about me. So, I'm kinda thinkin of changing the attitude a bit there and not being so soft...
Trying to be organized since I'm getting up at 600. Going to bed earlier also. So I guess won't be here as often as I used to either...... Please keep up with the motivation chats and I'll be listening. I'm not too thrilled about exercise these past few days. The lingering hangover affect...ugghh.:yawn:

hmo4- you are looking hot girl. You have how much to loose 10 lbs no way from where. You are crazy girl.


I was a bad bad girl tonight my hubby and I went out and had mexician for supper. I did however eat good the rest of the day. I'm going to wait till wed. to weigh in that way hopefully that supper didn't get to me too much. :blushing: I just ordered Jillian no more trouble zones. I'm hoping to get that by the end of this week and kick my butt in gear because god only knows it needs it. I have 26lbs and I want it gone. The humidy around here has been killing me however so there hasn't been much walking around like I would like too. I know complain complain. But hey if I couldn't complain what else would I do.

chrissy - you. are. amazing. :flowerforyou: Those pix were beautiful - no matter what weight! But, you look so happy in the 75 pounds lost one. And healthy.

hmo4 - for breakfast, I have 1 cup of Fiber One Frosted Shredded Wheat and a tablespoon of Simply Jif. Yummy! It's not a huge breakfast, but it fills me up, tastes good and gives me energy.

for those of you doing the couch to 5K program... :drinker: I'd like to start it a little later on in my weight loss. I have tried doing interval jogging on the treadmill, but... it's a little bit painful, actually. :noway: My body isn't good for running just yet.

Does anybody have the Hungry Girl's 200 Under 200 recipe book? I *almost* bought it, but the $20 price tag has me kind of set back. I did see one of their recipes that I thought looked good, though... and I looked it up online... and found it! BBQ Mango Tilapia. I tried it over the weekend and am having it for dinner all week. I added more mango than it called for, used honey in place of molasses and doubled the recipe. I have either a little rice or corn with it and I it! It was a quick, cheap recipe. :drinker:

What's the challenge for this week??

I really wanted to get that book also and I posted a topic on it. From what I have heard its worth the money. I have some money left on paypal so I might just go on ebay and see how much it cost there. I heard there is a website you can go to. Haven't been there yet however.

I saw the "Eat This, Not That" book, which was the same price. It's more of a restaurant guide than a recipe book, but I was just flipping through it and it looked good. Anyone have that? Oh, and I did see the Hungry Girl book, too.

Well ladies, I told you I was getting back to it, so here I am!!

This go to bed at 3am and sleep til 3pm habit is one toughy to break. It's hard to make yourself go to bed early when you've only been up a few hours. I tried to go to sleep at 3am last night and rolled around for an hour before I gave up. Doesn't help that our house is 80 degrees, due to the a/c being broken...which is has been for weeks. Oh well! :ohwell:

So I decided that the only way to get back to a normal sleep pattern was to be reeeeally tired tonight. So I just played online for a few hours and as soon as it started to get light out, I went out and did Day 1 of C25k. Yaaay!!! I did all the runs this time too! :bigsmile:

I've planned my breakfast and lunch for today and will have to root around to figure out dinner, but I need to put fruits and veggies back into my diet!!! They've disappeared! :laugh:

Hope all of you have a glorious day! :flowerforyou:

Great job on getting the exercise in. I know how you feel about switching you sleep schedule around. I'm having the same problem. But I have kids so while I am sleeping during half the day they are playing and bothering me so I'm not getting the sleep i need. Ugh. I'm going to try however. Walking is my goal today.

Oh my god.
My dad came home from fishing yesterday.
And he brought home the leftover mini doughnuts, cookies, trailmix, and junk they were eating on the ship.
:sick:
It was all sitting there in full view.

And I screwed up my sugar for today and had two poptarts.
:grumble:

But I'm starting the C25K in a few minute, we'll see how it goes.

Hey! I started C25K today too! I did day one. I did skip one running interval, but kept up otherwise. Maybe we can be each other's cheerleaders with water cups rather than pom poms :drinker:

Totally!
My one problem is that I have no idea how many calories I burned. The distance, calorie, etc things are all burnt out on the treadmill. I'm trying to get an estimate, but I don't have a heart rate monitor, and there's no way I can get one.

:drinker: C!
:drinker: 2!
:drinker: 5!
:drinker: K!
:drinker: Couch to 5k! Wooooohoooo! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Here's an estimate for you - two ways - log in your walking and jogging separately with how many minutes for each or a good guesstimate is if it were 30 minutes 300 calories - 40 minutes 400....I run dead on that by my HRM....just some thoughts to get it to where you can log it.

HMO4 - you look awesome in your new pics!! Girl, you gotta be proud of that swim suit!! You are totally rockin'it!! Woot Woot!!

So, it's after 7:00 & I just finished up my 3rd piece of fruit for the day & I'm officially done eating!! ... now what do I do??!! LOL!! :laugh: :laugh: Maybe I'll go to bed!! LOL!! :laugh: Oh, I think More to Love is on & Hell's Kitchen!! However, HK always makes me hungry!! :laugh:

Thanks, appreciate the compliments-keeps me encouraged to continue. Tried to do better today, ate carbs a bit later than I should have, but walked about 12300 steps! My Pedometer is awesome! Still lacking in the veggie dept. How do you guys eat lots? I'm just sick of them already!! Gonna do veggies and dip tomorrow. Spent too much $$ at the grocery store, all good stuff though-no crap! Up early again tomorrow to take my girl to the Dr.s. Chat later, have a good one!

Rach-sorry about the job. Try not to get into a bad rutt. I did, and it's very depressing. Just think, more time to exercise!

Way to go snackers-What's the challenge for the week?:drinker:

So yesterday I went on ebay and bought Jillian Michaels no more trouble zones and it should be coming tomorrow in the mail. That is quick so if she doesn't kick my @$$ the house cleaning that I have to do will. I can't wait and I'm going to wear my HRM while I clean house also. I made that mistake last week not wearing it and I know I burned calories like crazy. I can't wait to try the new DVD. When asking my husband if it was ok he just rolled his eyes. I then said well there are these cool new shoes and he said buy the DVD :laugh: I knew I could get him one way or another. Cheers to me for knowing how to work my hubby. I did pretty good today except forgot my meds at home so I didn't take them until this afternoon bad news for the people that had to talk to me this morning. Won't be doing that again. Everyone have a great day and I will give you an update tomorrow (today) at somepoint. :flowerforyou:

Cello - I wanted to say hang in there! It's really hard when you don't have the support at home & as far as making fun of you.. :noway: Not cool! They'll get it soon! You'll be happier, healthier & fit & then they'll just be proud of you!! Hang in there!!
OH ya, as far as starbucks.. they have some really delicious low-cal alternatives!! They're really wonderful as far as making suggestions on what they can make for you depending on what you already like. My low cal favorite is a light cofee iced frappuccino!! It's all whipped up with ice & super yummy for about 90 calories!!

j_g - congrats on the jillian video!! You'll have to let us know just how great it is!!

fitgal - More to Love is pretty good, it's just I really feel for these girls. Most of them are falling for this guy because he says he likes girls with curves & a few of them have never even dated before! I foresee alot of them getting their hearts crushed!! I'm just waiting for the big twist when they send in the swim suit models in a few weeks (just my theory )

So, I did good with the no after dinner eating last night!! So proud of me!! It really is a mental thing!! While watching Hells Kitchen, I could not believe all of the commercials for food!! No wonder I'm always "hungry" when watching tv!!

Before I read everyones comments I want to tell everyone that I have offically lost 50lbs. I'm crying I am so happy. I have 23 more pounds and I will have hit my goal. A friend helped me clean my house and i burned 1,572 calories. :drinker: Everyone have a wonderful day.

WAY TO GO JESS!!!!!!!!!!

My weight is 186. -1 pound from last week. I have to see if it lasts before I update my ticker.

jg - 50 pounds?!?! That's awesome! :happy: That's around what my overall goal is. So what kind of results are you seeing because of that weight loss? I need some motivation!

I would like to say that I have more motivation but I can't. However, I have noticed that the more I loose the more I wanted to loose more. I took before and after pictures that is a BIG motivation for me.
