Red Heels Group Week 4

Hasian HOT MAMA!!!!! :blushing:

Hello all:happy:

Back to work (and MFP) after a loooong weekend - got a message before I left work Friday to meet the hubby at the lake as soon as I got home, didn't get back to the house until after 9:00, after 10:00 before I got showered and stuff put away. Back out at the lake Saturday and Sunday........makes for a long weekend, but a fun one. :glasses: :glasses: Gotta enjoy summer while it's here - after Labor Day the weather gets too iffy.........:grumble: :grumble: Ate pretty well, and didn't overdo, but didn't get on the scale this morning. t'll be interesting to see what the scale at Curves says tonight......

Hey chickapoos! I did ok over the weekend, stepped on the scale this morning (and I'm jinxing myself here by bragging, lol) but I've dropped 2 lbs since Thursday... We'll see if it holds up through until weigh in this Thursday.

Maybe the weightloss is due to being scared s**tless on a daily basis:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I've been riding shotgun to my 15 year old, while he's practicing for drivers ed. I have almost stomped a hole through my floorboards by slamming the imaginary brake, and I think there are nail marks on the door handle, because I have a death grip on it through most of the ride. I know he's gotta practice, but sheesh, learn to stay between the lines kid!

I am going to really look at what I am eating and see what I can do about sugars....
do you eat oatmeal - what do you sweeten it with?
that would mean no sugar free koolaid/crystal light

still thinking.....

edit....so my nutirgrain waffles and light jungry jack syrup is out.....

i almostttttt ate oatmeal today and then i looked at the package...nope cant do it until i figure out how many sugars come from the raisins (i love the raisin and spice oatmeal) but i dont see any fructose or sucrose labeled on the box (those are the sugars i'm staying away from) so maybe those 16grams of sugar are mostly from the raisins...i havent figured that one out yet...ive been really suprised at how everything pretty much has sugar in it unless it's home made....i have yet to have any man made sugars today :bigsmile: .....it's deffinately hard, but doable...and ive been enjoying more meats since im staying away from high sugar counts....i actually did this not knowing when i was a teenager ....i ate more meats veggies and fruits that was it......and i remember losing 30lbs in a healthy fashion within 2 months....i just didnt realize that i wasnt consuming sugars as much as i used to....so now imma try it again and see what the results are :bigsmile:
this is actually what i used to look like

Good morning Ladies! I stayed within my challenges yesterday (103 extra calories!! WOOOHOOO) Today I should be pretty good with the fiber challenge and the water challenge thread that Chrissy started will proove to be good too... I know I can do it!! :drinker: :drinker: LOL

It seems pretty quiet when I am online... without looking at all of your locations, I'm guessing you're all west of me!! LMAO :laugh:

Good luck today!! :bigsmile:

WOW you look great!

Whoohoo I finally met a challenge!!! I had 108 calories left over...man I love kickboxing!!!!:bigsmile:
Fiber challenge shouldn't be hard at all for me, I usually meet my goal and then some.

Chrissyh, ACK!!! North Carolina?! I couldn't take the humidity when I was there UGH!!! Mind you, I come from Wyoming, where we've never heard of humidity....I do kinda miss the state though, had some great times during MOS School in Lejeune drinking at Emerald Isle every weekend, fishing, etc., beautiful state...and I miss the people. But NOT the humidity!!! :laugh: :grumble:

Hello ladies! Just checking in today! How is everybody doing? I havent been on in the last several days, sorry! I missed you all! You guys are always my entertainment for the day!

I'm trying to catch up, what are our challenges this week?

Hang in there Pettmybunny.......he's probably as scared as you were, but he'll never admit it!:laugh: :laugh: I taught both of our daughters to drive - one with a Chevy Tahoe and the other with a 3/4 ton extended cab pickup. Needless to say..........they both learned very quickly to make wide turns and pull thru parking spaces rather than having to back out of them!!! :laugh: Wide turning radiuses SUCK!! At least you're letting him practice BEFORE drivers ed - First time I drove was the day before I started behind the wheel drivers ed-my mom took me out in the hay field the day before I started and that was it - I actually learned to drive IN drivers ed with an *kitten* teacher:grumble: . He was a complete jerk, but I survived it and have (probably gonna jinx myself) never had an accident in 30+ years of driving. Speeding tickets, of course, but no fender benders:noway: !

LOL... No, his drivers ed class was the first time driving, besides down the long driveway once or twice. After driving two hours with his instructor and 10 hours classroom time, he got a pink slip that lets him drive with a parent. After he's done with the class (24 hours) and 6 hours of driving time with the instructor, he takes his final and gets his actual permit that lets him drive with anyone over 21. He has that for 60 hours logged driving time (or 6 months--not sure exactly) then takes another written and a driving test for the DMV.

I have to admit I lost my cool today and was kinda screeching at him. He didn't even see the car in front of us put on their brakes (Aaack number 1), then went to get into the passing lane without even checking his mirrors or blind spot (Aaack number 2), was driving through the marked parking spaces instead of the driving lane once we got into town (not so bad, but Aaack number 3 because I was already stressing), then was going to turn left in front of right of way oncoming traffic (Aaack number 4), was going to run a red light because he wasn't slowing down on the yellow--and it had been yellow for a while and he said he didn't see it (Aaack number 5), then slowed down to 5 mph at the next stoplight, because he thought it might turn yellow (again, not so bad, but I was stressed, so Aaack number 6). All in a 15 minute drive, about 7 or 8 miles.

It's a good thing that I color my hair, because I don't wanna know how much more gray I am by the time he's done! :laugh: :laugh:

LMAO when my dad was teaching me to drive he absolutely refused to get in the truck unless he'd already had 2-3 beers and 2-3 beers to take with him..."I want to die relaxed and happy!" he'd say. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I thought about having a few margaritas before they drove, but a lot of their early drive-time was to and from the high school, where I was also working at the time, so that would NOT have been good:noway: :noway: I can just see the headline....."JCHS Head Secretary terminated for being intoxicated at 7:30am in office" :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
