    manda- great idea! i do my best during the week as I always pack a lunch (actually lunch and dinner since I work a 10 hour day)>

    Lulu-thanks. I turned 39 the 10th. Wanted to welcome the closing year of my decade with a bang. I think I did.

    During my ride it was hot! I drank 240oz of water. I sweat so much my kidney didn't have to overwork because it never got there=)

    Today the goal is to exercise after work or at lunch since I didn't sleep well last night and didn't get up to exercise. I will stay hydrated. I will eat within my calorie alotment.

    have a great day ladies and gent if your still out there zano.

    Good morning, everyone...

    STILL sick. I can't believe it's gone on this long. I'm stuck in the house, most of the time, and summer is passing me by. That really sucks.
    My doctor prescribed an antibiotic yesterday, and I'd hoped that would be the big cure...and it might be, except I'm super sensitive to medications. This pill he gave me...horse pills! And you're supposed to take two, with a meal, once a day. They're "time release" pills, and they definitely worked. Within a few hours of taking them, I got agonizing cramps. And...sure enough...the cramps seemed to come at half hour intervals. "Time release" cramps. Lovely. So I didn't get much sleep, and I'm debating what to do about the pills. I'm thinking of cutting them back to one a day. I just want to get feeling better...

    On the plus side (:grumble: ), I've completely lost my apetite. I don't think I'll lose this week, though. But I'll maintain...

    Anyway, that's enough whining out of me.
    Wishing everyone a successful day.

    awww cyndee i'm so sorry you're having such problems. that really does suck.

    prayerful - man i can't believe how far you rode. wow. good for you!

    manda - that's the ticket, pack your lunch, log stuff ahead of time so you can stay on track! you can do it!

    i was bad, very bad today. i didn't get up in time to meet with my trainer. i do know now that 8:30 (having to get there by 8 to do 1/2 hr of cardio first) just doesn't work for me or my boys, it's just too dang early. so will reschedule these for later in the morning. i didn't even remember scheduling these before our vacation, so it was kind of a surprise to see it on my schedule. but that's a part of this, right? since it's a lifestyle change, and realizing that 8 is too early for my kids and me, so working it out so I can be successful in this. I am excited to get back to the gym, I'm hoping with my hiatus that the weight will drop off quickly again. My goal is the same as when i first started, so I dont' get overwhelemed by doing too much too fast. I will go 3x/wk for 30 mins at a time. So if I go more, that's fine, or longer, but just so my goal is set so I can meet it and be successful. It's not a limit, just a minimum.

    Have a good day, ya'll.

    Cyndee- I hope the antibiotics help quickly and no more side effects.

    Adopt4- I think it is awesome you see the problem and are fixing it. Yes, life style change.
    I'm noticing that your passed 1/2 way to your goal. Have you celebrated that????

    I ran at lunch today. Boy oh boy was I hot. Incentive to get up tomorrow morning:mad:

    Morning, everybody...

    Yes, the antibiotics are kicking in. Finally! I cut the dose down to half, because of the side effects, and it's bearable now. Britt's got a friend coming over today, and staying the night, so we'll go out for supper. I dread the sleepover. Need my sleep. It'll be okay if the girls are fairly quiet, but I can't deal with midnight giggling. I've already warned Britt...If they act up, her friend goes home, no matter what time it is...:grumble:
    Funny. I recall my dad using this same threat on me, when I had sleepovers. But I still recall him coming to the door of my bedroom, late at night, and loudly whispering "Go to sleep!"

    Right now, I need inspiration for my work. Should be working on an autumn theme, or "back to school," but I haven't got started yet. Better get busy, because in September, I need to start working on Christmas...

    I've given up on the idea of buying a house right now. Everything I've looked at, in my price range, needs too much work. I need a cozy little place that's maintenance-free. So I'll call my landlord instead, and see if he can talk the downstairs tenant into switching apartments. Not looking forward to that. Because it still involves a lot of packing, lifting...and then I'm pretty sure that I'll need to paint, etc. I've fixed my place up, over the past two years, and it looks fabulous. Somehow I doubt that the aging bachelor downstairs has done the same...
    But oh well. That would keep me busy for the winter, eh?

    I'm on track for my calories, although I think I need to load up on fruits and vegetables. Not good on the exercise, but hopefully that will change today. When I take the girls out, we'll walk downtown. And if I find the energy, I'll go a few rounds on the exercise bike...

    Thanks, everybody, for putting up with my whining over the past few weeks. Your support really helped.
    Love ya's...

    cyndee, you're not whining! sheesh girl!

    I'm slowly seeing the weight I gained come off. Although it's really hard to do it with just eating, especially after eating junk again. But I"m working on it. A friend just invited us over for pizza tonight, she has a/c and needs a favor from me in person - but I told her no pizza for me, I'll bring a salad. I used to LOVE pizza, now it's like, only when I'm in the mood and then it's only the one kind I'm in the mood for. I like that part of this, where my kids can have pizza and I'm not even slightly tempted. So anyway I have a cool place to go in the heat of the day, and since I'm doing "her" a favor, no guilt for hanging out in her a/c, right? ha.

    I'm seeing people not post and not post and not post. Why aren't you posting, people? Tell the truth. There comes a point in this journey where you decide to let it all hang out there, and be honest with yourself and with your support group - that'd be us, by the way - and know that you are accepted regardless of whether you're doing really good or really bad. But I have a nagging feeling some of us are doing really bad and hiding. Come out, people, share, let us help you, if nothing else "confessing" is good for you.

    Don't quit. YOU CAN DO THIS.

    i just have to tell you guys what happened, made me laugh. we put an alarm on son's room last night, because he sneaks out at night-time and during naptime and causes great messes in the bathroom (he's dumped 3 huge bottles of shampoo in the last 3 mos)... so last night, after catching him once again sneaking into his bros room after he was supposed to be asleep, we put the alarm on. he's been in his room 10 mins for quiet time (not a nap, he can sleep or read) and the alarm went off.

    The yell was hilarious.

    Cyndee-how'd that sleepover go? I'm hosting one this weekend for my sunday school girls. I'll be a zombie for sure.

    adopt4 or 5 or 6- lol. i think its awesome! your alarm story was stinkin' funny.

    It is very lonely here. If I had the time I'd email each of you. But I have to get to work. So I hope you'll all drop in and let us know how your doing. Also, post a non scale victory. Mine is my clothes starting to change in fit again.

    Next goal -8.3 to be at 1/2 way.

    Still on track to meet my exercise goals for the month.

    Ok I got the point LOL after getting a couple messages in my mail I thought I better post something :laugh:

    So just to let you all know ... everything is going really well ... I was hoping to hit the 50lb mark by tomorrow but I don't think that is going to happen because of TOM, but that's ok because I finally broke down and went shopping this evening, it;s been pretty yucky weather here and I really didn't have any pants to wear but I also didn't want to buy any that weren't going to fit next month. Anyways so I went and bought a pair of jeans and a couple shirts .... OMG size 18 for the jeans (was size 24) how the heck did that happen, I was so amazed when the 20's were to big. And I had to get new undies the other day and I got XL's not 3X or 4X... what an amazing feeling... I'm so close to the regular sizes and out of the plus sizes for good!!

    This week has been going great ... eating well, logging everything and drinking lots of water. Not sure what weigh in will be like tomorrow because of TOM but I know next week it will be gone.

    So yeah that's about it... oh and just to let you know its all Crazybee and Sheila's fault as to why I'm not posting much ... between being back to work and working all the farms on fb I haven't had much time to post :laugh: I will keep posting though ... and thank you for the reminders :smile:

    Great success Lorann!

    Prayerful ~ great job on your exercise goals- and hey, it's your goal and you can change it if you want!:happy:

    Adopt4 - You da bomb girl! Thanks for checking on me!

    Cyndeebee - glad the drugs are working! Hope you are alllllll better today!

    This week has been insane! I am being smothered by my son (he' feeling guilty for a BIG mistake he made) and all he wants to do is hang out with me! I would have thought I'd love having him spend lots of time with me (he's twenty ~ so hasn't had much time for mom in the last couple of years), but honestly all this togetherness is cramping my style ~ lol!

    I have not exercised ONCE this week! How lame is that??? I'll get back on track this weekend. That's my pledge ~ If the boy wants to hang out still, he's just gonna have to exercise with me!

    See you all tomorrow for weigh in - though I won't be able to post until tomorrow night - see you then!
