In Search of My Body - Not the One I Ate, VOL 8...It's Never Too Late To Start Again!

[goofyfan-12]

Hi everyone...

No JC tonight. Had to work late and have dinner with some of the contractors. JC has been rescheduled for Thursday this week.

Kat - nice loss and congrats on the choir. Very exciting!

Liz - whoo hoo on your loss

Kelly - glad to hear you are feeling better

E - sorry about the snow - um core? just sayin

EE - hope your night at B&N was a good one. Today is a rest day for me too.

Nancy - I am with Erika on nailing your bummocks to the darn wagon!

Lisa - I am going to give you the same advice that everyone has given me over the years. You have to put yourself out there in order to find a date. They won't come knocking at your door. Take small steps and give it a try. If I can do it, so can you.

Hi to everyone else!!!

Work is going to keep me absolutely crazy this week. I don't think I am home for dinner one night this week. I still have my training sessions planned and am hopefully will stay on track. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Erika - core?

 

[AKASnowWhite]

It's 10:00pm. Do you know where your core workout is?

Nancy - it wouldn't be fun, but it will be good to be there. Right? Doing the right thing! And maybe the Disney lady will be your new BFF.

Fabulous Disney Lady didn't get picked. I know that for sure, because she was the first of the "call backs" to get interviewed and excused. bummer. She would have been really fun to *work* with.

ah. Was it at least a FUN dinner?

Nancy - I am with Erika on nailing your bummocks to the darn wagon!

OK, OK! I'll stay on the wagon

CORE IS DONE! Word.

And I swear, it would NOT have gotten done if I didn't have to report to Nancy and Paula, so thanks!!

Around 7pm I got my energy back, so that is good. I am back to feeling normal.

Goals for today = met and exceeded! I ended up doing 25 minutes of running stairs (right here at home) so that is a good a cardio workout. Short, but TOUGH. Omg, it burns for sure. Followed by core and stretching.

Goals for tomorrow:

--Water
--Track
--Run
--Core


You guys are THE. BEST.

Liz--WOO HOO on the loss! Goddess crown!

Paula--don't think I won't remember to ask on Thursday!

Nancy--great job today!

Hi everyone! I'm catching up on reading here, I hope you didn't think I was just going to disappear after just a few posts!

Congrats to everyone who lost! I had no change but considering I enjoyed more drinks then I meant to over the weekend I'm just happy with no change.

Ran (on the treadmill due to even more snow in New England) and I've been feeling strong on my runs lately which is great motivation.

Goals for tomorrow:
-water
-track/journal
-use my calories more wisely!

I work part time filming games for a women's college hockey team and I have to work tomorrow night. So I'll be on my feet at work(day care) all day then at the hockey game so tomorrow is a "rest day." (Where my feet will be super tired.)

Hi Megan!

Goals -

Didn't get enough sleep or take my multi. I have no idea why those two things are so hard for me! But I did weigh in, track, and go to the gym!

Today:
Vitamin
7-8 hours sleep
Drink water
Track all points

Morning Ladies,,
I think you all are so wonderful for being so supportive to each other (bad or good)!!!
You don't find people like that these days.

So day two, did not bring any pop with me to work, I did bring an extra bottle of water. ( I do drink alot of water)

here's the bad new, COFFEE CAKE.. Why do they bring it in. I had 2 slivers. I know bad bad bad., but its over and done. I did do 15 mins on the elliptical last night, I don't know why that is hard for me...

potty training update, so I get her Minnie underwear, she went in the potty all day for dad on Friday, put the underwear on her and about 20 mins later she peed on my floor. She is still not ready


How do you ladies, track the WW points, I find it so so very hard to do.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Good on no pop!

WW. I track online and on my phone. But a piece of paper works just as well! Are you going to meetings? I find them really helpful.


As for potty training. How old is she? I have a great way I did it and so did a bunch of my friends. One weekend. It's four days straight and then it's done. You need a long weekend, though.

 

[poppinspal]

Hey everyone! Took my class out to play in the snow today, there's nothing more adorable then 2 year olds who think thy're having a snow ball fight!

Liz- I always have a hard time remembering to take my vitamins. Even trying to take them at the same time doesn't help. I've found it's easier if I carry a little container of them in my lunch or bag I bring to school because then I see them when I eat lunch. I don't know if doing something like that would help you remember.

My DD is 2.5 turning 3 July,
I am home on Friday this week, but we have a birthday party on Saturday and Sunday, so I am not home all weekend, We are trying to let her run around with out a diaper, and she does very well, as soon as you put somthing on her, she goes.


I am not going to WW, With Dh schedule, I don't know if I could make the meetings, I seen to never be without my kids... I was hoping I could follow the points without the meetings?

Meg, the little once are so cute when they play in the snow.
I have a 2 and 5 year old. I post about the often, (I post about the Too Much!)

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

OK, I had a sweet tea for lunch today, thats not the same as Pop right?

 

[adsrtw]

Sweet tea can have as much sugar as soda.

How do you ladies, track the WW points, I find it so so very hard to do.

Im a pen and paper kind of girl! I like to have everything written down there so I can see at a glance where I am.

Also, something that works for me is planning ahead. The night before I will plan my menu for the day after. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks - the works. I find that if I have it written down I don't tend to stray from it. When I try and wing it through the day thats where I go drastically wrong!
This works for me, it might not work for everyone. I pack my lunch for work everyday instead of buying take-out so I know where I am with my points.

I also second what Liz said - I find the WW meetings very helpful. I struggle to keep on track with points when I don't go to the meetings, I think im following the plan then when I add up the points im about 10 over!
I like the support that the meetings offer, and if I have a bad week then the Leader can have a look at what im doing wrong.
I know this might not be possible for you though with your DH's schedule and the children, but it might be possible in the future?

Kat - Great job!

Liz - Awesome on your loss!

Megan - Post when you can!

Lisa - Ive been doing the Pilates for Dummies dvd - quite appropriate really as I feel like a dummy when I end up on my bummocks due to lack of balance

Everyone - Hi

Todays goals - done, done and done! Only thing im struggling on is catching up on sleep! Its my day off tomorrow so I might have more luck!

Goals for tomorrow: Same again!

Water
Tracking
Pilates - may add in a walk as well if the weather is good!
Sleep!

Hope everyones having a great day!

Thanks for the advise, I am going to try to look into a place by me for a meeting. I try to pack my lunch more days than not.

Jo. Here you go. The solution to no pop! Get soda. Honest to God soda water. It can be called sparking water (Poland Spring makes one) or seltzer (there are a ton of store brands). It can be plain or flavored. It's got bubbles and it's more fun than non fizzy water. Check it out, try some brands and flavors. I keep some flavored ones at home. Bring that to work. No sugar, no carbs, no points.

Note: this isn't tonic which has just as calorics as sodapop.

Potty training. When you have a long weekend, four days at least, let me know. I'll send you the info.

 

[adsrtw]

I love Poland Springs.

Only 10 Kelly? I seem to recall one epic points day, the likes of which I fear I repeated last Saturday, but I didn't even attempt to calculate!


I'm home from Court. After another entire day of sitting around (or in my case pacing, because I simply couldn't sit any longer) we were finally called into the courtroom at 3:45pm. They had settled. I'm done. Good news, yet somewhat disappointing at the same time. I had come to grips with the whole thing and was actually looking forward to seeing the process work.

We haven't been able to get out much due to it not getting above 20 degrees so they went especially crazy. They also found it hilarious when I feel, kids are the best when they laugh. I work with two year olds so I know them at their best(and worst.)
