Good morning ladies! Why do the weekends have to go by so quickly?! Ugh! I'm not ready for Monday yet. Not much on my agenda today. It's supposed to be super hot and humid with storms later so my only plan is to get my workout in and do a few light chores around the house. I spent 4 hours yesterday doing food prep so I'm all set for the week. I do need to cut up some carrot sticks but there's enough to last until at least tomorrow so it's not something that has to be done today. Official weigh in was this morning and I'm down 6 lbs from last week. I don't really consider it a 6 lb loss simply because I had gained 4 lbs last week due to vacation and lack of water intake. So really, I'm down a couple of lbs. I hope you all have a great day!  |

I am not ready for this week or another week. Thank you! Every week that goes by now just reinforces that school will be upon us in no time! I'm SO not ready for that. I love having my kids home and not having to rush around. We only have 5 weeks left. |

2peafaithful and brandy327, great job on the losses! I did not weigh last week because of coming back from my trip. But I am down 3.2 lbs. today. Yes! So excited. And I already have in 8,500 steps for today. I feel great but hubby just left for the doctor. We think he has strep. He never gets sick. So we will see what he has then I have 3 places to run to today. It's a hot and busy one. Stay cool everyone!

I have stuck to the diet religiously this week. Exercise is sporadic, but it is still happening. I am supposed to go to the gym with a girlfriend today and we will see if she actually wants to go. I would still like to go if possible. I need to do more exercise.
You are all so amazingly motivated to exercise as much as you do. I wish I had your drive. Heck I wish I had any drive at all!
One thing that makes me happy is not wanting to snack at night any longer. I don't know what happened really. I used to need to eat something (sugary and filling) late at night and now there is none of that. If I am hungry in the evening I will just make some more protein or have some leftover dinner. I.e. more chicken or steak or whatever. I have only been hungry maybe once in the last while, though. I do need to eat something now, though. Looks like it will be an omelet or something like that for breakfast.
I just weighed myself and that was extremely discouraging, and I know better than to weigh myself at this time of the month. But it is what it is. I will be back down to normal in a few days. You can all collectively tell me, "I told you so".
Good luck with weight loss, health eating and exercise. I hope everyone feels great!

Good morning everyone. I've just gotten back from walking my dog, where I feel like we were swimming. Ugh on this humidity! Seriously, shouldn't we lose more weight when it's so hot??  I had a piece of French bread this morning, with butter. But it wasn't a huge piece, and I will go to the gym later. So I'm hoping I'll work it off. I was down .6 from yesterday so I'm happy about that. lol. Not a huge weight loss since I started back on eating right, but one thing I noticed this morning... When I walk the dog in the summer and have no pockets for keys or poop bags I wear a small fanny pack. Last week the fanny pack was at its most extended and it was a bit snug. This morning it is not. That's with not a lot of weight loss but I'm sure what caused it is that I've given up grains. (except for that french bread this morning...) Cutting down on grains, especially the useless ones (chips, white bread, desserts, etc.), really does make a difference. My plan for today: (let's put it in writing so then I'll have some accountability, lol) -- put together my new Raskog cart for the kitchen -- NOT DONE (going on tomorrow's list) -- clear out stuff from last corner of the living room (we got new furniture and are rearranging...we moved the TV last night and now have two small tables to declutter and get rid of. One is RIGHT by the front door so you can imagine how it collects stuff. The interesting thing will be to see if we can get by without that place to put stuff. The TV is now closest to the door so I'm waiting to see who will be first to set something down on the TV table. It won't be me!) -- NOT DONE (going on tomorrow's list) -- put gas in the van -- DONE -- go to the gym while I'm out -- DONE -- return library books on the way to the gym -- DONE -- make dentist appointment for dd -- DONE -- make my first pressure cooker cheesecake -- I want to try this and it's best that I do it while the kids are still home from college because then I'll eat less of it. lol -- DONE -- make dinner, spaghetti and meatballs, easy -- DONE (except it was frozen lasagna instead of spaghetti because I forgot dd had three friends coming over, and the lasagna was easier) That is it. So okay I've written it down which means I have to do it all. Right? brandy327 Six pounds is excellent no matter how much of it is losing what was gained during vacation. It still shows that you're determined and back to doing what you need to do. Lol Delta Dawn at "heck I wish I had any drive at all"... That would be me also.  I keep telling myself that when the weather cools off I'll be more motivated to walk outside or even drag myself to the gym. With this heat I hate even the walk from the parking lot to the front door of the gym. Maybe Pokemon Go will help motivate me. lol. Whatever works! eta: Oops Patter how did I miss seeing your 3.2 loss??? omg, great job! eta again: It's 9:45 p.m. so now I get to come back and check off stuff from my list. yay! Everything done except two things. Well tomorrow is another day... |

monkeylady123- I also believe we should lose more weight in heat. It just seems right to me! It is actually the opposite for me. Heat makes me hold water. I live in Texas so I really have to not over due it with the heat. I really haven't given an update so I think I will chime in today. I am the pea that has had a long journey with weight loss and have battled it since about age 10. In 2003 I had gastric bypass and at the time I weighed in at 400 lbs. Over the next 18 months I lost 130 lbs and than BOOM it stopped. I was grateful for the weight loss but felt like a failure. Where, oh where was my skinny after self? ? 270 lbs was a far cry from my goal. I actually never really had a goal in mind. When you are 400 lbs what I wanted was to feel healthy, move freely and live....like really live. I didn't want to set myself up for failure so I figured I would know as I got closer but 270 lbs wasn't remotely close. Over the next many years I stayed the same, than I gained a nice chunk back, had a baby, went to a surgeon to see about a revision which he did test and told me I didn't need a revision that my pouch wasn't stretch but the opening was. There was a method they could do to tightened it to basically make your pouch and the surgery effective again so I was able to go that route. It was during the last 7-8 years that I really learned to rewire my brain and change my relationship with food. The surgery wasn't a fix. It was a great tool for me but it can easily be sabotaged and ineffective. I have now lost 232 lbs and I am at my all time lowest. I am so incredibly grateful to be where I am at. Not a day passes that I don't count the gifts that come from being healthy and being able to move. I went maybe about a year ago to write the surgeon a letter that I went to thinking I would need a full revision to thank him for all he had done to help me. He was one of about a handful of surgeons in the US that even did this new procedure that is done in about 5-10 mins while under twilight to tighten your opening. Most considered it to be ineffective or knew nothing about it. He was compassionate and didn't shame me. When I went to find his address I found his obituary. It took my breath away. 55 years old and he had suddenly passed away. Instead I wrote his family a note how sorry I was for the loss of such a great man and what a difference he made in my life. If I stay the weight I am now forever I am great with it but I am kind of at a place of wanting to push it a bit more and see in this next season what I can work on. I have done poorly with exercise overall. I have been back to walking this summer but I need to do much more than that. So that is an area I really need growth and progress in. We moved this winter and joined our community rec center and now I have a great place 3 mins from my home with a pool, weights, classes and a indoor track. No excuses. I have never been a runner. Honestly have always kind of been afraid what my 400 lbs might have done to my joints or frame. I don't have any chronic pain but felt like running might be pushing it a bit. But lately when I walk I want to run. So I do. I run. So simple but I am free. Free to run, move and push myself. It feels so good. I won't likely end up a runner and I am good with that but to be able to do it and make it part of life or exercise feels good. |

It feels so good. I won't likely end up a runner and I am good with that but to be able to do it and make it part of life or exercise feels good. This is terrific! Runners impress the heck out of me. I'm still struggling with sugar. I think mostly it's because of the summer heat, and me liking sweet beverages. I find myself specifically wanting cake or cookies lately. I'm not sure where that is originating. I haven't had that issue for months. I'm batting the same couple of pounds back and forth for 2 weeks now. I got a heartrate monitor, and am looking at pushing my exertion level some. I don't think I'll ever be a vigorous exerciser, but I know I can at least walk more briskly. This is my second week of doing 10 squats MWF, and they are getting easier. I wonder if I should add more squats, or something else. I don't think I can do lunges properly, but I'd like to get there eventually. Maybe stairs? |

Also ... if you run, you're a runner There's no stopping you now! If you really want to get inspired to run, look at the group "A Year of Running" on Facebook. There are a lot of before/after stories on there. |

Afternoon! brandy327 nice work getting back in your routine! 2peafaithful I'm happy to see you here! Patter nice work! I'm always so impressed you get so many steps in so early in the day! monklady123 I'm a list maker too! Sometimes I write down things I've already done just so I can cross it off right away. We finally got home from our vacation! Originally we were supposed to get back Thursday night around 5--actual arrival was at 2am Saturday. Southwest had a terrible week, but to their credit their employees were so gracious and helpful under a very stressful situation. The downside for me is I had to throw DD's birthday party at 11am Sunday! We pulled it off though, in under 36 hours. I definitely slept well last night! I actually weighed a little less this week than what I did when we left for vacation. Eating wasn't 100%, but I did manage to get to CrossFit 5-6 times and DD and I did a ton of hiking/walking. Back to the gym (and humidity, *sob*) this morning. DD has to get a renegade baby tooth pulled this afternoon so we're just chilling and finishing up party cleanup/unpacking. This is my last week of summer--only 6 weeks this year as they've adjusted the calendar so we get out of school Memorial Day weekend. My first official day is August 3, but I'll probably pick up my keys Thursday or Friday. It goes by way too fast! Have a great week everyone! |

So you've ALREADY "ended up" a runner! To me anyone who runs IS a runner.  |

I always said if I got close to 200 lbs, I'd try again. So I have. And I'm on week 7 of the C25K program. So far, I've found it very helpful in building endurance. I struggled with today's run, which was a solid 25 min run...I made it about 21-22 mins or so and then had to walk and then picked up running for the last min or so. Anyway, it's very liberating to know that I CAN run now if I want to...and while I still don't love it like many that run do, I feel very accomplished when I'm done. Something I've NEVER thought possible, I'm doing. So many times, I've wished we lived closer...I think we would be great friends IRL and we could be work out buddies.  |

I can't believe you guys will be going back already! That's seriously depressing!! BUT getting out Memorial Day will be awesome. We go back Aug. 30th...so we still have 5 weeks. But I can already feel the dread beginning. Every school year means my babies are one year older. I love having them home with me during the summer and being able to relax and enjoy the sun. School means 5:15 wake up calls, rushing out the door by 7am, working (thankfully only 1 day a week for just a few hours), soccer practices, soccer games, etc. I just don't want to. LOL |

Great job on the losses everyone. It is an accomplishment for sure! The heat and humidity is not as bad today. Still bad, but not as bad. I will run later tonight. I had an emg nerve test today on my pesky arm. I have nerve damage in my bicep, ulnar nerve, and carpal tunnel. Ughhh. Now I wait to hear what the doc says. My plan for the rest of the day is to kick back and relax. I have not stopped moving since I got home from my trip with DS. Dh is out of town tonight, so I can afford to be lazy. Lol! littlefish I go back August 2nd. I am so not ready. Love the lazy days of summer! |

Great job ladies!
My aunt died early Sunday morning- it was kind of a shock. I knew she was sick, but I didn't realize it was that bad. She had no children-we were very close. I was in charge of everything for her and I think I have everything in order. I did miss 2 days of working out, but started back today. Will take tomorrow off for funeral. Food has been good.

I love that FB group - I post there sometimes and everyone is so positive and supportive.
Today was so busy at work! I think I started to post here 3-4 times and never finished because I kept getting called away. I really am looking forward to September when things start to slow down for me.
I ran today (on the treadmill, it's 103 when I got home at 6pm). I'm getting my 3 miles in but for some reason running longer on the weekends just seems do daunting. I think it's in my head and I don't know how to get past the "I can't run 4 miles" mentality. Tomorrow I am starting the Bikini Body Mommy workouts on my non run days. I need to work on toning and firming up the flabby areas and thought this would be helpful.
I just finished dinner and still have 9 SP left over. I love days like this when I eat well, am full but still have points at the end of the day. I think I will have a glass of wine with my points - I haven't had a glass in a few days.

The impossible....or what we perceived as impossible....now a reality. I wish we lived closer too! I have had the same thought many times. I would gleam from your baking, learn wash my walls, keep up with my exercise better, being able to have another friend that understands autism and sons and I would totally bring your family meals during your recovery (when that day comes!) and take your kids to school. I might even wash your walls! LOL I will hire your brilliant son to be my littles guys Lego master builder! |

Anyway, it's very liberating to know that I CAN run now if I want to...and while I still don't love it like many that run do, I feel very accomplished when I'm done. Something I've NEVER thought possible, I'm doing. So many times, I've wished we lived closer...I think we would be great friends IRL and we could be work out buddies. Thank you, precious friend for your words and encouragement! I think this fall I might consider doing one of the plans for running. The impossible....or what we perceived as impossible....now a reality. I wish we lived closer too! I have had the same thought many times. I would gleam from your baking, learn wash my walls, keep up with my exercise better, being able to have another friend that understands autism and sons and I would totally bring your family meals during your recovery (when that day comes!) and take your kids to school. I might even wash your walls! LOL I will hire your brilliant son to be my littles guys Lego master builder! |

I am not ready for this week or another week. 
I keep telling myself that when the weather cools off I'll be more motivated to walk outside or even drag myself to the gym. With this heat I hate even the walk from the parking lot to the front door of the gym. Maybe Pokemon Go will help motivate me. lol. Whatever works!
