    Thanks Stacey! I thought that by putting it in the strength training section it would add the cals...I guess not! I do have a HRM...somewhere! LOL:laugh: I actually still use the watch part for my exercise, but since we have moved recently, I am not quites sure where the strap is!

    Okay thought everyone would like this. So this whole past summer I grew a garden in our back yard and it rocked! I tried flowers in some pots that did not rock. And the only plants in the house I can keep alive are ones that are only green. Don't ask me why. But today on my watering round in the house I happened to notice that I killed my cactus! Seriously! who does that! My mother in law is going to have a rolling gut later when I tell her-she's the queen of flower gardens and anything that grows.

    I hope everyone is having a fantastic day! :smile:

    Oh yeah I just wanted to share also that I found my long lost favorite food - hard boiled eggs! They are yummy and full of protein! Just excited about that. Its just a good day all around over at my house!!

    :laugh: :laugh:
    thanks for the laughs billie! i don't have any living plants inside the house--the rule is i take care of people and animals, no plants. :tongue:
    our front and back yards are ROCK with evergreens (evergreen for vegas, not conifers). the swingset is situated in rocks. plant maintenance NOT on my to do list.

    btw, i've killed a cactus too! the "flower" had gone dead/brown, so i tried to pull it off---and the plant died. whoops!

    hope everyone's doing well today--it's quiet up here. :flowerforyou:

    Hi Everyone!! I'm FINALLY back. :) I weigh in tomorrow, so we'll see how much I gained on my two week, nothing-but-fast-food, omg can we have some REAL food please, adventure. lol

    More than I would like, I'm sure.:grumble:

    We're settled into a short term rental while they rebuild our house. The contractor says 3 months...which is like 9 months in constructions years. I'm hoping for 4-6 months. I'm an optomist. :laugh:

    It looks like everyone here is doing really well! Did I miss anything big?

    Billie, it sounds like we've got the same MIL! Mine has really gotten into orchids the past few years. Now that it's gotten cooler, she's moved them all inside. There seems to be more orchids than furniture! :laugh: I on the other hand kill all green things. I tried a little inside herb garden. Killed them all. I had an African Violet that was majorly dying. DH took it over and now it's flourishing. Although, I'm not much better with the outside plants either, but they at least get some help from Mother Nature!

    Well i am back i haven't been on all week - also to say my exercises has been no existent all week too - having sick children doesn't help. Oh well jumping back in and continuing from where i left off. I am going to the Y Tues to start our membership that way i have a warm place to work out during the winter since it is already 40 out. How is everyone else doing?

    :grumble: as my ticker will show--the crappy eating of the week and no exercise has an impact.
    i'm saying it's water...

    but today i officially start logging food again. and i might even feel up to exercising. if not, i will add that back in tomorrow.
    and no more frosted flakes (those who have been around for awhile know sugar cereal is my nemesis).

    i'm working on my photos from chgo. i will put some up in my profile soon. i'm creating my kodak albums first. with 150 pics, it's gonna take some time. :laugh:

    angie--welcome back!! you were missed! i'm glad you can get re-settled, but so sorry for all that you have to go thru. our prayers are with you. :heart:

    later girls!

    Good Morning everyone! I just want to say I love this site. I was having a moment last night and then I got right back on track. Motivation here is awsome. Anyway I lost 3 lbs!! WHOOHOO Super excited even after family visits and my Opps last night at a bbq I CAN do this. I am officially out of the 170's which was my first milestone so I couldn't be happier. 150's here I come!

    I hope everyone is having a terrific weekend. I went to dinner last night with my in laws and some out of town friends and I must say I did really really well at the resteraunt. I didnt over-do my budget too bad! Go ME! lol I thought it was going to be terrible, but after logging it this morning it really wasn't so I made smart choices while everyone else around me pigged out. I must say I love the weekends. Its like relax time or atleast sundays. We're going to cook on the grill today and "tailgate" at our house before the game. Go Pack Go!! Have a great sunday everybody. Oh and I'm going to weigh myself soon so I'll keep ya'll posted on that. Its sad I know I don't have my own scale at my own house! But don't worry I'll break down and get one soon!
    talk to you later!!

    yay billie!! that is such a good feeling to know that you can go out for special things, but still keep with your goals. :happy:
    i have to remind myself that the food will be there another time, that this isn't my last chance ever to have cheesecake, etc.
    have fun today (and we're from bears country--grrr) :laugh: actually, i don't care at all, just hubby does. :tongue:

    yay me!! last night i cdn't sleep from 2-4ish and i was hungry. i did NOT eat the cookie dough or any other junk!!! that is HUGE for me!
    instead i had my hi fiber oatmeal with raisins and almonds and walnuts and drank water.
    i knew that if i ate the cookie dough or any of that kind of junk, i'd feel bad about myself in the a.m. i kept thinking that and thus had the will to choose better for myself.
    thanks to you all--b/c i know i'm accountable.
    and thanks to mfp--for giving me tips, motivation, info, etc.

    here's to OUR continued success!

    Nicole--strength training burns many calories by boosting your metabolism and building muscle, we don't see the calories burned right away like when doing cardio but the long term results are actually better. My Father-in-law talks a lot about how many females get stuck in just doing cardio and can do a lot of it and not continue to lose weight. That is because you need to add some strength training to boost that pesky metabolism :smile: Hope that helps! I try to do both but don't always get them both in or I alter days that I do them and if I am doing both I always do the strength training first for maximum effect.

    I have been falling off of the wagon when watching my food and I need to get back to it!!!

    Hope everyone has had a good weekend, has been rainy and cold here :grumble:
