Hi everyone - just getting back into the swing of things from a weekend away. I'll read the posts later to catch up with how everyone is doing.0

One of my employees came by my office this morning to ask about something health insurance related and all of a sudden (no kidding, mid-sentence) she was like "Wow, you've lost weight!" :bigsmile:
I needed that since the scale was mean to me this morning (too much sodium, not nearly enough water finally caught up to me).
By the way, are anyone else's arms killing them this morning? :laugh:

Hey everyone. I was gone for about two weeks but I am back. However, I still maintained decent eating and exercise habits, the results are reflected in my ticker. My work schedule is off the chain. I've been working 7 days a week and it is very stressful. I have to do a schedule change asap because I don't want to get burned out.
I haven't had a chance to scan through the list to see what everyone has been up to because I have to head out. But I will check back in this evening with everyone.
Be good,
~Jay0 -
lstpaul, stephanie, mscocoa30, Welcome Back!
jlb123: :sad: YES the arms are feeling it. I have a feeling I may never live this one down. :laugh:0 -
Hey I am off to a good start. Got up and took a 30 minute walk. Still plan to put this arm killing workout to the test today.:bigsmile: I also plan to ride my bike today. I need to really up my exercise. I can tell that I have gained a little. Not sure how much is water and how much is fat.:grumble: Like I said I am staying away from the scale this week so I have no idea. My eating has been good today. I will update later.0

Hello gals!
I have been a way from a few days, eating not the best, but I didn't gain a bunch or anything so that is good. I was actually down a few ounces from Friday this morning...
I feel like i have done awesome today...great new start I have already had 40 oz of water and it is only 1...I am making a concious effort to try harder with the water...I haven't exercised much at all over the holiday, i had intentions..but no such luck....I am back on scheduler today, i did even more than i usally do at lunch, i did 36 minutes on my elliptical...i meant to do 40 but my heart i can tell was beating so fast and my chest was hurting a little, my heart was probably like what are you doing to me .But 36 minutes for me is awsome it is the longest i have done.
As of right now after lunch i am in negative cals..i basically burned off everything i have eaten today...It says like i ahve 1700 more cals today, don't think i will be doing that.
Glad to see everyone back and in the swing of things.0 -
I haven't been on for a while but I have been doing pretty good with my eating....I did really well with Thanksgiving dinner....both of them and even managed to lose another pound. I will be getting back in the swing of things this week.0
-
Oh my gosh guys, I have been doing really well staying away from my weakness...pies. I hope I do not end up binging because of it. I am off to a good start today, concentrating on the day to day , I have been straying a lot, but luckily not gaining any more weight...I want to get back to the weight loss, not plateau. Wish me luck.0

Hey Andrea, I am so glad to see you. I have missed you. Good job on staying away from the pies. You can do this0 -
hello ladies.. how is everyone doing?
I can say my arms are very TENDER! :huh: and I thought I used them enough that this challenge would be a piece of cake. I stand corrected!
Today is going well. Although, I have been hungrier than normal today. I have a feeling it is because of yesterday! So, I am drinking more and trying to stay lo cal.. but, at the same time eating. So far so good!
It was a bit quite around here over the holiday! I am glad to see everyone coming back and checking in!
Well.. I will check back a little later.. I still have 5 more sets of arm exercises to get done today :devil:0 -

Calories : 1539
Exercise : YES
Water : 64 ounces, plan to drink 8 more ounces before I go down.
I am proud that even though (I use this one a lot) I did NOT feel like exercising, I did anyway!!!! I am proud that my calories were good today.......0 -
I did my challenge...that sure is a workout on your arms.
Calories - 1440
Exerciese - yes more than i have done yet
Water - 64 ounces
Proud - I am proud i pushed my self on the elliptical today and did more than I have had before (even though it was just 1 minute, hey it was more...36 minutes . I am proud i actually got all my water in...i think this is a first.0 -
lildebbie: good job on the water. Your body will love you for the hydration!
calories: yes 1290
exercise: pretty pathetic
water: yes
proud of: this has been a day of staying flexible to many demands and I so could have self medicated with food and I did not.
Good Night:yawn:0 -
Check in:
cals: under
water: perfect
exercise: 20 mins of dancing with two breaks - did not do the arms today because I am recovering from yesterday!
proud: I PASSED UP Taco Bell on my way home from a rehearsal tonight!!! First time EVER on a Monday night! Came home and ate a handful of almonds instead!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:0 -
11.30.09
Calories: 1,317 -- yeah.... 1 OUNCE of eggnog has 40 calories. And we got the lowest calorie kind at the store. How insane is that?
Exercise: 30 minutes bike 15 minutes running = 646 burned
Water: About 80oz
Proud: My cardiovascular system is improving so much from running (unfortunately, my knees are not...).
I love running and I love feeling the improvment so quickly. But my knees are working against me. I had to stop my run half way last night which was really frustrating. I have a 2 day break from running now but unfortunately I think it will need to be longer. I think I'm only going to be able to run once or twice a week until I lose more weight since my knees are protesting so much. :frown: I guess I can't blame them -- I'd protest too if 237 pounds was pounding down on me several hundred times in a row. :laugh: :ohwell:0 -
jlb123: I know exactly what you are talking about with your knees ... I was determined to start running this fall ... ran every day while on vacation to get started and had to quit because every day my knees were a little worse until I was hobbling around. I really want to get back to running (was a cross country runner in high school and college) - but I fear it will have to wait until I weigh less or I will end up having to have knee surgery. So I feel your disappointment!
checking in for yesterday:
calories - over ... snacked while making dinner AGAIN ... but at least I didn't also eat dinner
exercise - went for a 20 minute walk
water - bad ... only about 32 oz
proud - made myself take that 20 minute walk instead of sitting and watching swim practice like I usually do ... and proud that I stopped my binge at dinner time0 -
That is why i am sticking to my ellpitcial my kneess hurt when i go up the stairs so i know running would be torture on them...they don't like the 295 lbs on them.....I am hoping when I loose weight I maybe can take it up.0
-
I just made a bad choice for lunch ... a chicken cordon blue sandwich and fries ... BUT the fries were cold and sandwich tasted icky so I did the smart thing and threw it away after a couple of bites. Just not worth the calories if it isn't great.0
-
know how you feel....I have had several times on why am i wasting my calories on this.
Have you ever worked out to the point you feel like you are going to throw up...I just did...i did 40 min for the 1st time ( i think ever of exercise at one time ) and i wanted to stop at 20 min, but i pushed myself and about 35 min i thought i was going to throw up, but I did it I am soo proud of my self...
Note to self...make sure heat is not running when deciding to get on ellipcial...got way to hot.0 -

Good for you! Just make sure you are drinking enough water and turn that heat down so you don't get overheated! You don't want to feel sick because you are dehydrated! I have worked out that hard on occassion ... it is a good feeling to push past where you want to quit! :drinker:0 -
Ok ladies I know I have been MIA for the past few days and its because I am fighting the flu.So I haven't been exercising or eating particularly right.I am feeling a bit better today as some of my sinus pressure has let up and my body aches are not as horrible.I don't think that the flu has ever made me feel this horrible.I am hoping to be back at it tomorrow because I have goals to meet and I am going to meet them .Can anyone feel me in on what I have missed????? I haven't even weighed myself because I know I have probably gained becaue on top of having the flu I have also started my monthly visit LOL>I will be back into the swing of things in the next few days as long as this flu bug doesn't knock me back down which I am trying not to let it.0

awestfall, Hope you feel better soon!!!!!!!
I walked today, and I rode the exercise bike. I did pretty well burned a ton of calories. I am getting ready to do my arm challenge if I am able Hope everyone is having a nice Tuesday........
arborsong here is our arm challenge, have fun!!!!!!
You can use 1 or 2 pounds weights or soup cans, or full water bottles. I will be using water bottles. For ten counts each, work your arms in forward circles, backward circles, lift over your head and down (like a jumping jack), with arms out front curl to shoulders, and then with your arms at your side lift and hold 10 counts then lower back to your side. Do each of these in repetitions of 10, for 5 days this week.0 -
I am about to really lose it with my 13-year-old-students-going-on-25. :explode: If you hear about a music teacher from Missouri who is locked up after screaming and throwing things, trust me, you will know her. :mad: Why do 13-yr-olds think they know so much? And why do they fight so much amongst each other that it ruins their dance rehearsal because they are pouting instead of doing the dance??? Grrr. I can't WAIT until Dec. 9th!!! Calgon, take me away!
On a happier note, I didn't come home from their rehearsal and shove food in my mouth like I normally would have. But I AM still looking at that bottle of vodka...:devil:
Today:
cals: right on target
water: right on target
exercise: 20 mins of bike
proud: That I actually didn't throw anything at my students! 0 -
Calories - 1547
Exercise - 40 minutes
Water - 64 ounces
Proud of - I am super proud of my self pushing myself and did 40 minutes on the elliptical and did 2 days in a row of pushing my self and getting 64 ounces of water.
I know I have asked this questions before but i don't remember...do yall eat your exercise cals...I know you are supposed to eat them but having problems really eating them., i am about 100 under my "pre-exercise" calories. MFP says I should still eat 900 + calories today...I don't know if it matters since I have soo much to loose that it is different than if had 30 -40 lbs to loose vs lbs 100 +.0 -
How is the arm challenge?!?!? I am feeling a spot behind my armpits that I didn't even know was there:bigsmile:
Everyone has been doing great with calories and water. I would pat you each on the shoulder but that would probably hurt this week. WHEW. Feeling it!
Sorry you have been sick awestfall. Jump in on the arm challenge when you feel up to it. Misery loves company.:laugh: :laugh:
What are you putting the arm challenge in as on the exercise diary?
Calories: yes 1330
Exercise: yes
Water: yes
Proud of: My husband told me how good I looked today.:blushing:0 -
