Hello ladies! I've had a really busy weekend. My kids had a birthday party late Friday afternoon, where of course, they served pizza & cake. I had a bottle of water 1 slice of pizza & the rest of Samantha's piece of cake (not quite half). Then we had parents night out Friday night at our church, so dh took me to Monterrey,…

Hello! I made my water goal yesterday too! I'm so happy that I'm actually making this goal every day. I figure once I make this a "habit" instead of a goal, I'll move on to the next. Trish, Nicole - I think I'm with you on needing more water too. I've been drinking 64 oz a day for the past 4 days, but I feel like I'm…

Good morning! I've been doing really well with my increased water intake. It's been 4 days in a row now. I am feeling better. But what is amazing to me is how I am now craving the water more than I was before. My body knows what it wants and needs, but my mind doesn't always follow my body's advice! I'm hoping to do more…

Hello ladies! I've had a good day. My eating wasn't great, not horrible, but not great. I didn't exercise either. But I got all 8 cups of water in and I got through the challenge. I didn't have a single piece of candy today. :bigsmile: I even refrained from eating any of the oreo cookies I got for the kids since they're…

Hello Sixers! Well, day 3 and I got all my water in! :drinker: I picked concentrating on drinking my water this week over exercising or watching my calories closely because I knew it would be the easiest for me to conquer first. Hope everyone has had a great day!

Nicole, I'll take that challenge. I still have Halloween candy in the house (although they're almost out of the candy I like), and I brought some Target brand "Monster Trail Mix" with me to snack on at work. It has chocolate chips & M&Ms in it. I will refrain from eating them today. :happy: I'll still eat the peanuts,…

I feel the same way. I feel deprived when I see dh eating the fried chicken filet sandwich & kiddos eating the yummy chicken nuggets, but the wrap was so yummy that I felt happy with my choice after a few minutes. I'm sure being "spicy" it was higher in sodium, but that's part of why I'm drinking my water! It also helped…

Welcome back B! :flowerforyou: Hello! I definitely did poorly on eating today (1200 cals over), but I did make a better choice for dinner. It was school night at Chick Fil A where part of the proceeds will go back to the elementary school, so of course the kids wanted to go. Instead of the chicken sandwich w/ cheese &…

Stacey - Good job on the water!! :flowerforyou: I completely understand the problem of the fun size snickers. I've done the same thing. Trish - That dinner sounds yummy! We did Chick-Fil-A for dinner. It was school night at the one near us. Part of the proceeds from sales tonight goes towards the Elementary school. But…

Hello! Good job on the exercise girls! I had a personal triumph today. I didn't exercise, and I didn't stay within my calories (would have done much better if dh hadn't fixed waffles for dinner.) But I am sitting here now drinking my 9th cup of water for the day! :bigsmile: My goal this week is to drink all my water every…

Trish, I feel your pain. My mom was a sahm who cleaned house every day up until she started back part-time when both my brother & I were in school. I love my mom, but the least little thing out and she starts criticizing. It doesn't help much that she is also a minimalist. My personal "favorite": Telling me that I'm a…

:laugh: No, you're not the only one! Glad to find out I'm not the only one either!

Welcome Toni! :flowerforyou: I'm not too far from you. I'm just north of Charlotte, NC. Motivation is something we all seem to struggle with at times. Some of us (me) more than others. We're here for you. This is a group of wonderful, caring ladies who understand how difficult it can be to lose weight and take care of…

Good morning! I ate horribly last week. I stepped on the scale this morning at 154.4. :noway: :grumble: I know exactly what I did wrong, but I'm hoping some of it is also water weight. So far I'm doing better this morning. While my breakfast wasn't what you'd call healthy (1/2 of my 6 in. Italian sub from Harris Teeter &…

Amen! :laugh:

Trish - That recipe does sound yummy! Thanks for sharing! Stacey - The air show sounds like fun! I'd love to see the Thunderbirds in person some day. Hope you have a great time! The kids and I had so much fun at the Renaissance Festival today. Samantha got her hair braided, Will got a "pet dragon", and they both got to…

Hello ladies! Happy Friday! I have really slacked off this week with eating. But at least I've been staying out of the kids' candy! It has been raining since Tuesday here because of Tropical Storm Ida, but it was much nicer today. I was able to walk to pick up the kids from school. Which is good since I had Wendy's for…

Hello Sixers! I've been busy with the kids while dh is working 7 days a week right now. He's working his normal job M-F and the Renaissance Festival Sat & Sun. So I was MIA this weekend trying to keep the kids entertained so I could at least try to keep my sanity. . . oh, too late. My sanity went a long time ago! :laugh: I…

Hi all! Sorry I've been gone for a few days. DH is working at the Renaissance Festival since the 2nd weekend in Oct. He's not a performer. He's in Safety Services which is a combination of security and first aid. So he's been working his regular job M-F & working the Renaissance Festival Saturday & Sunday. I was busy this…

Cathy, good luck on your test. I know you'll do great! I'll be thinking about you & praying for you! :flowerforyou: :heart: :flowerforyou:

Hello ladies! I have done really well with my kids' Halloween candy today. I only ate 2 pieces. :happy: And that was all the candy I ate today. The ones they didn't like are already gone. Luckily, there weren't too many of them to begin with, and with my splurge on Monday, there were only about 3 of them left yesterday.…

I just ate a fun size snicker and went to log in the calories. It was 80 calories! :noway: If the Almond Joys are the same, I ate 720 calories in little candy bars yesterday! :sad: :sad: That was an eye-opener! I think I just got my motivation back! I'm going to let the kids eat the candy I like FIRST. They do have several…

I confessed on FaceBook yesterday that my kids decided they don't like Almond Joys and my daughter doesn't like Snickers :noway: (how is that possible?!) . Those little babies were calling my name big time! MIL replied that I should buy earplugs! :laugh: I should have listened to her. :grumble: I ended up eating about 4…

Good morning! cds2327 - welcome! :flowerforyou: Billie - good job with the clothes fitting better!!! Nicole - another pound gone for good!! :flowerforyou: Stacey - welcome back! Confession time for me too: I have done horribly the past several weeks. I've actually been losing and gaining the same 2 lbs during that time.…

Ditto.

Silver, that's wonderful! Losing inches is more important than pounds. I didn't keep up with it over the weekend either. I hope to see you out here more this week. You were missed! :flowerforyou:
