SAHM 8/24-8/30

Thanks Stacy I will look into that.

Oh I could eat a whole package of Oreos in one sitting no problem. So bad. I try buying cookies then putting serving sizes in baggies so I am aware of how many servings I am eating. But on low days that just depresses me and doesn't motivate me to stay with just one serving. But it works most days.


Thanks for the support ladies

I'm off to take all the kids for a little walk. Then feed them and start quite times and naps.

:laugh: just one building LOL I don't think that would stop me if I knew they were there hmmmmm LOL

Oh I didn't share my mini goal

Walk for a half hour
Drink all the water I only drank 3 glasses yesterday. I am not a drinker.
And say no to the sweets.

Well, I caved. I admit it. I have NO will power! When I got back from the Dr, I went in and got a brownie. I'm addicted to chocolate! I can't have it in the house or else I eat it. The past couple of years I had to have DH put the kiddos' Halloween and Easter Candy up way out of reach for me so I wouldn't get into it. That sort of works. I didn't eat as much candy. And at least I burned a few of those calories while getting the chair and climbing up on the counter to get to it. :laugh:

Well at least it was just one brownie. I love Chocolate too. I am bad with my kids candy as well. It's like a force that you can control makes you go and eat and all of it.

me too. except i'm a salty, crunchy girl. have i mentioned CHEETOS.
i can not keep them in the house. and i talk myself out of them every time i go to the market.

starre - knowing someone is waiting for you at the corner definitely get you out of the house for a walk.
my cousin and i used to meet at 5:45am 4/week at the corner between our houses....it lasted about six months then her work scheduale changed and that ended the streak. it was one of my favorite ways to exercise.


lettuce- hope to hear you had a better night.

wks - i'm with you. this is it . i'm pumped

good night everyone.

congrats yankee!

i'm doing good drinking my water and got in my leslie sansone walk (4mi today). Puppy at home resting (un)comfortably in her crate with her e-collar. poor girl! she looks so goofy and pathetic!

since she's normally so active i'm keeping her confined to be sure she really takes it easy and dsn't mess up her stitches. (for those who don't know my cinnamon saga, don't worry. she just got spayed)

need to drink LOTS of water w/my lunch to avoid filling up with junk. and i will start dinner now. rice and beans and maybe chicken. the girls have already complained about it, but i don't care. until i can sit down and start figuring out some regular menus incl rotating in their faves, they'll get what i make. that's jus how it is.

dh came home early last night which was GREAT!
and lettuce--big hugs for you and boy. agree with comment eariler that you shouldn't worry abt exercise right now. what i like about this thread is we GET what it's like to have to tend to our kids, and how it pre-empts healthy eating and exercise. we've chosen our #1 focus to be them and the rest will fall into place with time and practice. hugs to you both!

off i go--

thanks amy and lettuce. oldest is mopey this am but other two don't seem to notice/care.
i just have a heavy heart. :indifferent:

lettuce, hope caden continues to get better. and that you take some time to rest and eat some fruit and protein.

will be thinking get well wishes for him.

off to exercise--chk back later :flowerforyou:

wks hope you made it thru that tough workout! whew!


well, i gave in and finished many many cookies. i will NOT be buying them again!!!
so i was over my cals by 800-1000, dep on if i choose to really count my fresh fruit and carrots. either way--too much. even with exercise dvd and abripper x and a little kenpo x.
oh--and i ate a bunch of my fresh challah too.

no pity for me. i'm a grown up who chooses to stuff her face. :noway:

time to get the kids into bed.

plan for your success this weekend! drink your water and turn away from at least 1 temptation. you'll be so proud of yourself.
check in whenever for that support/kick in the pants!!

So I stepped on the scale this morning and I am down to 248.4 YAY!!!>......:noway: I didn't believe it!!!!.....Last night was my bro and sis birthday and my mom made chicken and dumplings..(my favorite..)...I ate a plate and had a slice of cake..And I STILL LOST!!:laugh:

Today we are going shopping for the deals.... I am going to see if I can find a size 14, for my "goal" jeans....It may be hard though. I only buy stuff on clearance..I have never boughten ANYTHING full price..I'm very thrifty in that way!!! Anyways..How are my ladies doing today?!?!:drinker:

UGH well I weighed myself this morning and I am up two pounds. How did I manage to do that? I was more active last week then the week before and at less. It better be muscle but I doubt it was.

starre--it's not muscle. it takes a LOT of work to actually gain muscle. but it could be increased glycogen +water storage which can happen when you first start up with exercising.

stay in your cals, drink lots of water to flush it all out and if the exercise feels good, keep doing it. it's taken me 6mon to lose 12 pounds. take your time and keep moving forward with healthy habits and the #s will go down.

hugs!

just sharing that i ate TOOTOO much junk this week and i feel it. so sluggish. partly b/c of 100+ weather and stress of first week of school. but i think the crap cals leave me feeling like crap. surprise surprise. :noway:

i'll post up my goals tomorrow.
4 weeks till dh reunion
5 weeks till my reunion

will reach my goal!! will have nice eyebrows, chic hair, and 2 cute new outfits that flatter my thinner stronger self. (no, no vanity involved in this goal ) i don't care--whatever gets me there.

will think about and post my goals tomorrow.

i hope you all had a better weekend. that you made good choices at many opportunities.
and lettuce--glad caden is much improved. good luck with school tomorrow!

later chicas :flowerforyou:
