Sounds like a great weekend! I hope the burn isn't too bad!
I LOVES me some Sweet Tomatoes! Isn't it just the best!!! The nearest one to us in St. Charles, but I'm usually willing to make the 30-40 minute drive because it's just that darn good!
I hope you have a great day today and aren't too burnt! Best of luck to your DD as well!

Quick check-in this morning. Don't know when I'm going to get to journals - got to work today and it's fast moving probably until next Monday when our new staff and interns start. UGH - I like to be busy but not this busy - don't know how I'm going to get away with the multiple trips to the bathroom this week!!!!!
Got on scale and remained the same as Thursday. I am really bloated today though - I just feel bloated and heavy. I am going to lay off some of the salt intake the next couple of days until TOM truly passes. Plus I know I didn't drink nearly as much water this weekend due to being in the car. That will change today - I've got my 72 ounces for the day today and my 30 for Jazzercise.
lulu - dd is 15. She doesn't mind me making the suggestions. Last night she still needed to eat quite a bit of food so I told her that since she hadn't had any fruit she needed to eat some watermelon so she had 2 cups. She doesn't like having to measure everything and she's not a big breakfast eater so that part is hard.
Sleeping last night with my burn was interesting - I woke up at 1 to go to the bathroom and I was shivering. I know it was the burn affecting my body because after I got back under the covers then I was burning - kind of like a fever but I didn't have a fever (I took it to make sure). The sun was on the right side of my body so it's my right arm and leg mainly. Today it's pretty red and the shower really hurt. At least the temp on my arm has started to go down which is a good thing. I do have aloe at home - I got this great stuff for our cruise a couple of years ago and that has saved me!!!!
Thanks for all of your support. Everyone have a good day and I'll try to check in tonight if I get a chance. Just don't think I'm going to be able to read much so everyone keep up the good work, hang in there - it's a new month!!!!!! And most of all....
Keep on
Chris

There you go mentioning your Cruise again!!! First you name dropped Castaway Cay and now this magic lotion!! You are just rubbing it in that I have never been on a Disney Cruise!!! You are a big meany!!!
(hahahaha! Just kidding!!! Glad to hear you are doing ok with your burn today, I hope it fades away to a nice tan soon. I definitely hate when I get the chills like that from a burn. Keep yourself hydrated and moisturized as best you can!

Have a good afternoon!

Hope your burn is feeling better. I know how miserable they can be! Aloe does work wonders!

Ouch, sunburn is SO miserable! Good thing the worst part will be over in a couple days. I'm glad to hear your DD made it back. Did she notice a difference in your appearance!
Keep up the teamwork, you are both doing great! And hang in there, that pesky TOM will be over before you know it.

Hi Chris...
Sorry it's taken me so long to visit, but here I am
You are doing so awesome and should be proud of yourself. 10 pounds in one month is great. Don't be disappointed if your weight loss slows down since the first month is always the big SWOOSH. They say 1.5 pounds per week is perfect.
We also love Sweet Tomatoes. It's one of the few places that our whole family loves... a little bit of everything for everyone.
Keep drinking that water... that is a huge help to losing weight. Don't get upset if you blow it with some food choices... just drink your water and move on.
Take those measurements if you haven't already. I measure myself once a month now and it's amazing how the inches are lost even if the weight is slow to come off.
Great job on the exercising... another big help to losing that weight. Take your time... it's not going to all come off in one month. I figure it took us years to put all this weight on, if it takes a year to come off, then so be it
Congratulations to your daughter losing 15 pounds. My youngest is 10 and has put on a lot of weight in the past 2 years. With me doing WW now, she is trying to follow the program as well. We're not looking at losing since she is still growing, but trying to maintain her weight until she gets a little taller. What your DD learns from you now will help her for the rest of her life.
Keep writing in your journal and you'll be amazed how far you've come when you re-read it months to come.
Keep up the great work!!

Chris - July was a great month for you and I know august will be even better. You are definitely on the right track. Sorry to hear about your sunburn - I always end up with midnight shivers too when I get burnt lol. Now that your DD is back home you two are gonna make an awesome fat burning team.
Congrats on the 10lb lost! You're doing great. I think sending your daughter to a nutritionist is a great idea. It really helps to write down your food intake. I was shocked when I first started doing that.
Hows your sunburn? I always use aloe vera when I get any type of burn. I hope you don't start peeling. Thats the worst. Take care of yourself -

Thanks everyone. The sunburn is doing better. I forgot about my legs and scratched an itch on my right one when we were waiting for Jazzercise to start and it didn't hurt until I thought about it. So I'm trying not to think about it. I fade quickly and the right arm is beginning to fade already. It will tan nice until it peels. Gotta remember to wear my sunscreen this weekend when we are camping.
Okay - so today was not bad at all. The one thing I'm finding out I hate is when I need to eat more food and I can't think of anything I really want. That was the hard part for me with WW and it's the hard part for me now. DD did pretty good today too. She needs to eat breakfast - something she doesn't like to do but I explained to her how important it is.
Here's what I did today:
breakfast Very Berry fruit and oatmeal bar
fat free yogurt
lunch 1 brat
1/2 c onions, peppers
2 c fruit
1 cup green beans
snack 2 celery sticks
8 carrots
2 TBSP dip
fat free yogurt
dinner lemon chicken breast
1/2 c chicken rice
1 cup romaine
5 grape tomatoes
2 TBSP dressing
snack 1/2 cup frozen yogurt
2 TBSP light cool whip
4 cups popcorn with 1 TBSP margarine
Totals: 1489 cals, 45.8 fat grams, 200.43 carbs
All in all a pretty good day. I drank 84 ounces of water. And the bloat is disappearing from TOM 1 more day!
DD's totals today were: 1302 cals, 38.45 fat grams, 156.55 carbs. A bit high on the cals (she's going for 1200) but pretty good on the fat and carbs. I did get her to eat more veggies and fruits today (that watermelon is gonna hit her later!!!!!! she's eaten about 4 cups of watermelon today ROFL). She only got in 48 ounces of water. I told her one more glass and she would have hit 60 ounces and 2 more would have hit over 64 and that would have been good.
Oh and Mike - 
Keep on

Well got on the scale this morning and it said I was down one more pound. TOM must be departing - thank goodness!!!!!
Stayed on track pretty well yesterday, hope to stay on pretty well today. Work is stressful right now and that helps my metabolism. I went ahead and scheduled a doc appointment on Friday for a physical and to talk about my weight loss with him (plus I cannot shake this whatever in my face so I'm sure it's a sinus infection - two weeks of face pain usually is a good sign). So we'll see what he says. I'm going to have a full bloodwork up done too so I can see how my cholesterol is in a year (or maybe before I go to Disney in December). My blood pressure wasn't bad before - pretty steady 120/80 unless I was sick and then it jumped up so I'm confident it will be good or better on Friday. Although I'm going to go workout before I go but I'll be cooled down a good half hour before my appointment. I think he'll be pleasantly surprised with the 11 pounds gone so far. I know I am.
Hope everyone has a good day and I'll try to get to you all tonight!!!!! Or maybe this afternoon if I get all my work done, which it's getting there

Yuk- I had a sinus infection earlier this summer and it was the pits. Hopefully yours will be better soon.
Congrats on the 11 lbs- that's really fantastic. I'm sure your doc will be pleased with your progress and help you set some long term goals. Great work!!!
Hope the work stress eases up a bit. Have a good day!

Wow, sunburn AND a sinus infection?!? If you can survive that, you can definitely make it to your weight loss goal! Keep up the great work, your Dr will be very impressed with the progress you've made.
