Steph, you are right...those babies need room! I bet Ansley's room is too cute.
Angela,
I SO wanted to get pics...but, it didn't work out:( When Paul came home and told me that he told Byron about the pics (I wanted him to drive and me take pics so we didn't have to park) I died laughing! I would have had more time if I would not have had to touch up my gray roots! Geez, they just don't get it! Great Job, again.
BTW, I can barely get my kids to just soccer - how do you do it with all of those sports going on at the same time?
I am not looking forward to the scale...I was bad today, but I had a blast!
I'm not looking forward to the scale either :(; going to parents to do laundry/watch the SB tomorrow, so if I get up early enough, I'll weigh in; if not, it'll have to be Monday...cuz I ain't gonna weigh in after I stuffed my face
Aw, Angela, your husband took you to buy clothes for your race! How nice...I don't know about total redemption after sleeping in while you ran, but it was nice of him! :) Okay, maybe he could have the Victoria's Secret cotton panties, but no lacy stuff! Those are reserved for total male awesomeness, which is extremely rare (just kidding!) Sounds like you had a very busy, active day with the kids too! What was your time on the race?
I hope everyone does great with the weigh in today. I hit my goal weight (actually 2 pounds under) so now it is maintenance. That's the easy part. I told Leigh Ann, I think losing weight is one of the hardest things a person ever has to do. I am using a measuring tape and how my clothes fit to help keep track too. Otherwise, I obsess. Never hurts to scare the hell out of yourself by keeping your bikini dusted off, either. I hope to spend a lot of time in mine this summer! There is a difference between fitting in it, and totally rocking it! :) I am getting there.
good morning everyone!! i am down 1/2 pond which is shocking cosidering the week I have had! I hope everyone else is down as well..fyi Stepahanie las time i wore a bikini I think Michael Jackson was at the top of the charts follwed by madonna and cyni lauper!! Now I just wear a sign that says "save the whales..harpoon a fat chic!!" j/k but seriously it is amazing that you are in such good shape ..I am still trying at running but not rally succeeding so far. yesterday I did walk 6 miles though!!
Crystal, that is awesome that you walked 6 miles! That takes endurance! And if you can do that, you can't be in that bad of shape. Walking is such a great overall exercise, and it doesn't pound on your joints like running. My feet and knees hurt, even after investing in "good shoes".
You cracked me up about Michael Jackson being on the charts. I was a skinny girl then, who was shy about a bikini because my brother told me I had bony legs. Mean kid! That's okay, he defended me lots later with the boys. Never liked any of my boyfriends!
Stephanie and Crystal - Congrats to both of you!
Kathi,
Enjoy your day with your parents and be sure to give us an update when you can.
Steph, I am sure you are rocking it! I am going for fitting in it this summer.
Crystal,
Good job on the loss - I know how crazy your week has been.
I am fixing to hit the scales myself - I am hoping for no gain!
Oh yea,
Steph - need your miles for the ticker and I will fix yours, too, Crystal. Congrats, again girls.
Angela,
Yes I died laughing about the pics - I had grand plans:)
Girls - I weighed in...ugh, gained a little! On Wednesday, I was down 1.5, guess I let the end of the week and the weekend catch up me...I worked out everyday last week! 350 calories on cardio, every third day with weights, either legs or arms/back and everyday of core! Damn, what else does a girl have to do?
It's 80 percent what we eat. Crack the whip on the diet! It should balance itself out...
I only ran 22 miles this week. How does the ticker work for negative mileage once you hit your goal?
Thanks for the advice...it's the same for weight...if we hit our goal weight and then gain it back, it will show on the ticker.
Brenda called and she maintained this week - Congrats and your nicotine and caffiene free!
Nice, Brenda!!! I would love to be able to totally kick the caffeine, but unfortunately, I cannot. I don't think they would like me at work! I did get it down to 1 cup of coffee a day!
I am going to the gym, blah...blah...blah!
Hello Ladies,
Brenda - congrats on being nicotine & caffeine free! Great job!
I have mixed feelings about this weigh in. I need the ticker to move back to total 1 lb lost. It looks like I gained, but if you remember last Monday I had scale issues. If I go by what it was saying then, I'm even for the week. So while the ticker goes backwards, I think it's a draw with the scale this week.
I'm going to focus on the good. I put on a pair of capris that I love Friday. They kept falling down because I didn't put a belt on. I've not had to put a belt on these capris before. I'm due to take my measurements next week, so based on the capri test I think it will show my hard work.
I got over 6 hrs of exercise in since Monday including almost 10 miles and nearly 3000 cal burned.
I wonder if all the salt on those Chili's chips I scarfed last night were making me retain some extra water. Whatever. Like I said - it's a good week with a draw at the scale!
Angela :o)
Dern it...my post disappeared. Anyway, Angela - damn the scale, you had an incredible week and ended it with a 5K. Obviously, you are losing inches, cause those capri's need a belt. Nicely done. Check your ticker...had I goofed before - just want to make sure I am accurate.
Stephanie - My time was SLOW. There were old ladies in knee braces that finished before me. But in fairness to me, I had planned to go out there and jog like I had trained with the Couch to 5k program. And because that was my game plan, I started in the back where the walkers were. The old ladies with the walkers were up front! ;D
I let the masses get going before I started. My pace was 13.23 mi and I timed it at 42.35min. Not exactly the 6.46min pace that the first place lady in my age group clocked. But she was apparently a phenom because there was over a 2.5min gap before someone else in my group finished. And there were 10 other ladies in my age group behind me. I think that pace is just a tad faster than power walking! :o) If I had jogged the whole thing I think I would have been able to get it under 11.
I think that should be a next goal - jog the whole 5k.
Angela :o)
Leigh Ann - I checked and the ticker is right. Thank you. I just knew that stupid scale was going to give me the finger this week.
I'm glad for this blog. I know I'm making progress but if I'd been doing this by myself, I think I would have thrown up my hands in defeat by now.
I'm going to look at back at my food log for some clues. It might not all be due to what I'm eating, but when I'm eating. Although those chips were darned awesome and I got salsa staines on my shirt! :o)
Looks like with the rain we are just going to hang home for SB. Maybe I'll watch it from the exercise bike. Gotta see the commercials!
Angela :o)
I'm so inspired to be here with you all :) my ticker didn't move ...but that's ok because I know I'm still moving forward with all I have done, been doing and learning to do..from all of you :D
Angela...what an amazing day you had :D you must be so very proud of yourself...I like your comment about looking hot in your running gear!!!! YES!
Kathi...enjoy your day at your parents...you know you'll be walking the pavement when you can...you're still moving forward!!
Now I want to rant...please...it won't take long :) I also saw some comments that made me sad...sad for us as women...and moms...Will we ever get to the place physically we want...I don't know...but I do know that if we all continue to move forward in physical fitness and healthy eating, it's going to transform or emotional beings as well (the feeling.. good stuff)...while we are transforming that emoional side..let us all know that we are already HOT and we're only going to get HOTTER...let us never..ever think we aren't...and when you think it...belive in your thoughts...about yourself and others :D And me, when I am on that beach this summer in my 2 piece...I will feel just as hot as any other woman on that beach..inside and out :) I want these things for me....and for my kids..and my husband....HUGS to you all....
Angela, sounds like you did great! Just the fact that you were there and finished is a testament. You went in for it, and you did it! Winner!!
Brenda, great positive thoughts. I know you will make your goals because your head is SO where it needs to be! You will be hot in that 2-piece. Steve had better watch out! The lady who is turning heads on the beach will be you! :)
Leigh Ann, how was your workout?
I didn't end up going to my parents...not feeling well today (tummy); so, today I'll switch off between napping and watching the game (GO PATS...not only cuz I'd like to see them do perfection, but Junior Seau hasn't gotten a ring yet...I'd love to see him get one)...leigh ann, i'll email you with my weight...I don't think I moved any though.
Angela and Brenda,
I am glad that you guys love the blog so much, know that you inspire me as well! And like Brenda said, we should all be proud of our HOT selves - thanks. Steph,
Had wonderful workout, thank you. And then me and Rayna hit the mall.
Kathi,
Hope you feel better - I just emailed you.
Crystal, if you don't make jokes about yourself, I won't put myself down either. We should be nicer to ourselves.
Ok...everyone's ticker is up to date...Kathi had ticker issues so we decided to go from the weight she rec'd from the doctor. Check and make sure it's right, Kathi - don't be down, you are doing incredible!
FROM BRENDA....ON LEIGHANNS LAP TOP
Yes, we're on to the next week :) Thanks Steph for your encouraging words :) I really want to continue to focus on my program regarding weightloss and lowering my blood pressure but I also want to work on the inner side..I don't want to be the norm in our society that thinks that thin is in...to me healthy is in...regardless if we are naturally thin or thick :) there are so many body types...and when I was thin..as I think back..was I healthy...I'm not sure, it's been so long :) In any case..thank you all for another great week again :D
Unfortunately, the ticker is right, Leigh Ann; I have to think that I've lost 19 pounds since Sept., so hopefully that keeps me motivated to keep doing this
and the game is a frickin baseball score, not football; but the Pats are winning :)
Almost 20 pounds is wonderful... so,stay motivated! You motivate me. The Score may suck, but the commercials rock this year!
Well... we made it home! I will weigh in tomorrow... I just cant THINK about getting on the scale today. It was a GREAT TRIP!!!! I will tell ya all more about it later as im gonna watch the rest of the game and go to bed.
good for you Tina and welcome home!
no worries :)
BTW...Lets focus on positive things for ourselves :D The positive feeds us obviously in a positive way...negative comments about ourselves, hold us back....we are all moving forward..all of us :) lets not compare ourselves to others, ok :)
HUGS to all...I look to everyone for things to help me in the long haul...have a great week ahead
Ok, brenda; i'll stay positive. i'm also gonna get back at the walking..i've just been a lazy butt for about a week. YEAH, CRYSTAL; please be positive about ourselves..don't put yourself down (although i had to laugh at what you said cuz that's exactly how i feel about getting into a bathing suit/going swimming...perish the thought)
keep it up girls ... so proud of you all ... i am a huge biggest loser show fan ... watch every week and wish i could i could go to their campus for a month ... i just know it would change my life ... need to find a way to eat healthier ... i love to exercise, but don't like nor do i have the energy to eat well ... pass on any tips you have ...
keep up the good work ...
