good Sunday morning (6-17) my numbers are in on the list. Not a great week, but a good one. And I am maintaining my weight. So this is a good thing. Up and down during the week with the same 2 or 3 lbs. but that is normal. Sunday weight is all that counts for me!!)
Hope you all had a good week too. Just seems so busy this summer.0 -
It was a bad week for me, ladies. I'm so sorry!! My husband's ship went out this week, it was the first week my kid's were out of summer, I had to start packing my house for our move next month, and I traveled to my parent's home by the end of the week for a little vacation. I will do better next week!!0

Just glad you are ok!!! Where are you moving to?0

YOU have a lot going on right now. I hope your husband isn't gone for too long and that your move goes smoothly. Drink lots of water this week, which about half of this weeks points...half the battle. 0 -

Thanks, Libby! We're stationed in Jacksonville, FL, and we're moving to my hometown, Pensacola, FL, while my husband is deployed.
Thanks, Jen! He should be back around the end of the month, maybe beginning of July. Hopefully, he'll be around to help me finish up the moving. He'll be leaving again in August for about 6 months, then gone most of the 4 months after that. I plan on moving back to Jacksovnille next June. I'm so glad that this week's challenge is water!!! It feels like I haven't had water in so long. Today, I got all my water in and already feel better!!

Sorry ladies, I have been away for a while. Grad life is taking its toll over me and I am finding it hard to stay on track and keep motivated! Hence I was very demotivated to exercise and log in and track food!
But Kguiste....after reading how busy you are, my reasons just sound like excuses!!
Jen...good to see you got rid of the no exercising bug :-)
Libby....just like you, I also hate spreadsheets! And some of them just confuses me!! And I use them so often and I still have no idea how Jen made a spreadsheet with pull down options etc.....

UGH!! Yesterday was horrible. Had to fly to Chicago for work and return home on Thursday. My flight was cancelled so I was put on an earlier flight, but my luggage was not. Now I have to go to the office in my traveling clothes from yesterday (capris and a polo). Unfortunately, I only have on my gym shoes, which are not quite suitable for the office. Oh well, what can you do? **shrugs**
No workout for me today, my gym clothes are in that bag. :mad:
Kg, my husband is retired Air Force. We met late in hs career (two years before his retirement) so I didn't have to deal with any kind of deployments (close once), just a couple of extended TDY's. I don't know how you do it. ((HUGS))
Nu, I didn't make the spreadsheet, Belinda did. I have no clue about Google Docs, but I am an Excel wizard. I just rewrote over the January one.
HA!! I think we are all in a rut right now, or just too stinking busy (or both). Let's get it out of our system now so we can kill it in July. :bigsmile: :bigsmile:0 -
