Had a set backwith my surgery, so not allowed to work out for a while:frown: :cry: So I really have to watch what I eat!! Great job everyone though. mrsyac, I am sooo glad you are feeling better. Have a great workout for me. I'm missing it big time!!

Haven't been on lately. Doing good though. The fudge made it until the next day. It was amazing though. It's a good thing I didn't know how well it turned out the night before or Imight have been in trouble. :laugh: Day 8 for me!!

hi everyone!!! mrsyac- Take it easy on yourself. being sick takes so much out of you. Working out diverts much needed energy from your body making itself better. I went to the gym today and worked out. I really didn't want to, but I guilt tripped myself by thinking that if I stayed home on my day off, what would stop me…

wow!! Great job everyone. We are doing so well. I am on day 5 tonight. I am pushing much harder since my hubby is gone on business for the week and I really don't want to snack past 8. Doing much better. I do have to make fudge tonight for my employees. A lot of kids work for me and when they do well, I give them choices…

dewdrop- you are totally still good. Way to keep life in check. Just because we don't want to be fat, doesn't mean we can't have fun right :wink: Great job everyone! wlhanisch- wow you are amazing!! I am on day 5, and with my husband outof town for the week, it's going to be tough for me. I stay up until he calls after…

Super long day. 11-8 shift and then my husband flew to texas today, so when I got home at 9, I had to take the babysitter home and then go shopping, and finally get dinner. I just got done with everything. Good thing I have tomorrow off so I can get my butt to the gym.:yawn:

mrsyac- I sooo hope you feel better. i was sick a few days ago, and I was miserable, so my heart goes out to you!!:flowerforyou: :heart: mollyk- I know it sounds weird but an electric blanket is the worst thing to do when you're cold. It ups your body temp and slows circulation and when you come out you're twice as cold.…

Holy Moly!!! Day 3 for me. I am doing all right after my flu and feeling soooo much better. Changing my weekend cutoff time to 11 though since I get home from work around 10 and still have to eat dinner and then finish up any extra work, clean the kitchen, pack tomorrows lunch etc; etc;:laugh: So I am going to have some…

zaza thanks for the support, and have fun with your oldest!! cloverluv- I soooooooo feel for you. Mine was 24 hour, so I hope by now you are feeling better. :flowerforyou: I pre plan everything. I grab my laptop after my cutoff time and I plan out my food for the next day, and pack my lunch and set out whatever meat for…

Never been to the chiro, but I hear the same. They have to go back. Once you start you can't stop. Went to the gym today and did water aerobics. More challenging than I thought. I will be going back because they are doing a free showing af that chihuahua movie and my daughter wants to see it. If I'm driving 30 minutes, I'm…

I was up to day 3, and I was so sick yesterday. I kept nothing down, so forget about my calories, skipped my gym session, and went to bed at 5pm. I woke up at 10pm and was feeling a little better, and sinceI hadn't eaten all day, I knew I had to have something. A piece of toast was it, then back to bed. But fair is fair,…

Howdy all!! I was soooooooooo sick yesterday. I went right to bed after work and my wonderful hubby let me sleep until 10pm! I had a piece of toast and went right back to bed. I have a great time swimming 2 days a week and biking 2 days a week. So great for your body and I can go straight from work to the gym (even though…

What a great thread. I work about 60 hour a week and so does my husband. I have a 4 year old daughter that is very time demanding. I actually found a gym membership that gives you 2 hours a day of child care for free, but it's an hour away from my work (which is when I usually have time to go),mom for but we got it since…

Thanks zaza, I appreciate the support very much. I got my night 1 and 2. It is my 2nd day back at work and although it's painful, I am skipping the junk and hitting the hay early. I did go to the gym, but after 1/2 hour on the stationary bike (all I'm allowed is that or swimming), I was pretty much done for the day. so I'm…

Welcome madhia- this is a great thread and even when I don't want to work out, I know spicy and sanifrey and shannon and everyone else was tearing up their workouts so I never want to be the loser who didn't workout. :laugh: shannon- have you tried pre planning your meals? I plan every meal the night before and set up…

So it is 9:30 and I have totally broke my day 1. I had a very rough day at work and it was my first day at work after 3.5 months and 6 foot surgeries. My feet are so swollen, I can't fit them into shoes and I have to soak them in ice water which really hurts. No lie, I ate 1 of every snack in the house. I feel better, but…

I am in this month too!!! to Last month was great for me and I could not believe how much better I did. Instead of losing 1lb per week, I lost 1.5. That's 50% more weight lost because I planned my day to make sure that I was getting all of my calories in and that I would not be hungry. Also, I think knowing that I would…

Hey Shannon- I would definitely check for one on there that gives chip amount (like 10 chips) cause that sounds a little fishy to me. I started back at work today so I don't know if I call it my rest day. After 3.5 months of medical leave and being off my feet, 9 hours on my feet sure felt like a workout. But I have my…

we will be starting a new post. My best was 11 days and then I crashed. I am currently at 3 as of feb 28. I am sooooooooooooooooo ready for March though.

Last day of the month and 3 days down. I am excited about March though cause I know where I screwed up and I am determined not to do it again. Look out ladies! I am going for a new record of at least 25!! :glasses:

Nicolet- don't beat yourself up. You usually tear it up when you work out!! I hope you feel better. Welcome all of our new folks, hope to keep seeing you. Shannon- great job losing the 6 lbs. Don't think of it as original weight, Think of it as a mini goal weight on your way to your big goal weight. I did the same thing. i…

hey everyone. I only did 45 minutes on the stationary bike and my feet started to hurt. Swimming tomorrow though. Even 45 minutes at race level was 573 calories and the swimming tomorrow will be almost 900. I am going to have a light snack before my cut off time. I hope everyone is having a great day and keeping moving.…

Stillkristi- I understand. I work crazy hours and sometimes I get home at 4 and sometimes I get home at 11pm!! It's about what works for you. I have about a 45 minute commute so I eat a protein bar on the way home, that way when I get home, I am less likely to chow all night. Also, have you tried yoga or something to help…

heyjude- welcome back. I don't know what the tough news was, but I hope everything turns out okay. Sanifrey- I hope your migraines get better. I get awful sinus migraines, so I feel for you. Great job going out and just strolling around. Fresh air is great for the kids and that double torture....umm stroller sounds like a…

Welsome new fitness buddy!! :bigsmile: Spicy- you are such a great motivator, and you're right, I hate being sick, but I love getting back into my routine and being able to report in, especially if I found something good. Swimming is sooo great for your body! Downside- I have to get into a bathing suit. That was traumatic,…

Destiny- Welcome, and we're happy to have you. Remember that late night snacking is worst when already have fulfilled your caloric intake for the day. That's what gets me into trouble. But if you're under your calories one day, don't worry. If it becomes consistent, all of these wonderful ladies on here have great food…

What a great workout. I did a water aerobics and freestyle laps class. For 1 hour, I burnt 839 calories and I burned 464 calories on the stationary bike. I hope I worked off those paczkis, cause I definitely feel like I worked something off. I am finally cleared to go back to work in March, so that will up my calories by…

I am getting ready to head out to the gym right now and I really have to tear it up today cause I had 2 paczkis yesterday and went way over my plan. At thbis point though, I really feel like junk food is out of my system forever. I can't even look at it right now!! Wish me luck.

My best this month was 11 nights, but then I fell off the wagon and feel like I've been being dragged behind ever since.:grumble: Had 2 paczki's yesterday, so as punishment, I am having to do and extra 45 minutes at the gym every time I go this week!! Especially after I logged in the things and saw the real damage!! So I'm…

Yikes!! Hello day 1 again. My husband is out of town for the week and definitely was not watching what I was doing. Went shopping late and ended up eating dinner late. And so on so forth and I'm saying hello day 1 again. :noway:
