rare, no less, which likely means I am going to die soon

Laughed out loud.

You know, I think that's already the plan between UM and DD. They are really throwing down over you.

On biggest loser, you'd have been voted off the island by now.

Is a swiss ball like a swiss roll from little debbie?...What is a swiss ball

 

[MunkyMe13]

oh ya!

These are from December... I'll put the ones from this trip up soon!

This is me, being accountable:


Total for the day: Way too much. Espically with the competition coming up. But this is what it is.

I know you might suggest to me that pizza and sausage shouldn't be in my "diet", and I know that. But I can't just start eating hampster food cold turkey. I have to work it out somehow so I can still eat what I want, just in moderation, or I'll give up for sure.

For your first day, not bad...I think I added it all up to about 1500? That definitely puts you in weight loss realm (especially since you logged some TM time).

How old is your dd? You don't look old enough to have a kiddo doing math at that level!

If you don't want to give up your indulgences, try Weight Watchers. It is what they are known for. It is about portion control as opposed to giving up everything you love. It is also about choices...if you want to have a special dessert in the evening, you just have to make up for it somewhere earlier in the day.

The "other" Liz (SG) can give you the skinny on how to get skinny with WW. She is a guru!

All in all, I think you did AWESOME today! You got in a work out, you did fairly well with your eating, and you were Accountable. Three cheers for you!

 

[3DisneyKids]

WB Sarah! And NO, you cannot go to sleep! We need the DETAILS!

BTW, How long of a drive is it from Scottsdale to Anaheim? Do you guys have APs?

I agree with Erika...who I am paying to talk me up, can't you tell? You did AWESOME today, DWD.

Those Girl Scout cookies are Satan's own minions...you cannot run from them!

As for me, today I had a yummy cheeseburger for dinner...and stayed on WW. No hamster food for us girls and guy! We need it to be real!

I agree! And Erika said it much better than I did.

Man of all days... I am fuzzy and on cold meds and work kicked my butt. Y'all picked a great day to mess with me!!

LOL!!! Swiss ball is the big exercise balls.

WB Sarah! And NO, you cannot go to sleep! We need the DETAILS!

BTW, How long of a drive is it from Scottsdale to Anaheim? Do you guys have APs?

LOL!!! The drive is about 6 hours... Long and boring... LOL!!! We both have premium APs so we go fairly often... they were our Xmas gifts to ourselves... lol!

I agree Girl Scout cookies are the devil!!!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Heck, if we were a 6 hour drive away, we would go for a few days every month!

 

[UtahMama]

Good night Boarders!

Have a Skinny Day Tomorrow!

I was gonna be evil and post food pictures...BUT I wouldn't stoop that low! Not cool, yes?

Poor Kat is all hopped up on Robitussin which makes me feel super guilty for messing with her head so badly (I'll wait till she's feeling better for round II)

 

[HockeyKat]

Awww don't feel guilty. It was a nice distraction from the rest of my day.

And NJLiz, Satan's own minions...

 

[grumpyyoungguy]

good night all of you lucky people...I will see you tomorrow......

Sleep tight and don't let the UtahMamas bite...heeeheee

 

[Dizneydawn]

LOL!!! Swiss ball is the big exercise balls.
Ohhhh....I thought that the Swiss Ball had something to do with the Swiss Olympic team! Doh!!! Okay watch this video and understand that these Swiss guys want you to know men who do not watch soccer or other sports!!!
Ahemm....Merry Chrismahanakwanza...Thank You...

Hi all,

From the sounds of things, you all had a nice night last night which is great... My night was not so great... food wise, I don't remember what I ate exactly, but it came out of a Jenny Craig box so that is a good thing... This whole debacle at work finally came to a head for me last night when I walked into my JC appointment and found out that I gained three pounds... Hello... a little stress eating anyone...

Now, normally, I would be ticked off about the weight gain, but the fact is I really am not which freaks me out more... I have had my weight loss efforts ont he front burner for the past five months that when I see that it is no longer there, I am worried about losing my focus all together. I need to blank or get off the pot about the decision at work because it is now starting to affect other aspects of my life. My job is my job, it is not my life.... at least that is what I keep trying to tell myself...

I am slowly coming to the realization that I need to make a hard choice about my immediate career future and its not the decision I thought I wanted. Here's the deal (any thoughts or input would be appreciated here)... I want to continue to move up within the company and get to the next level as a project manager. I have been lucky enough to have always worked within my hometown region which has been near my friends, family, and general support structure (with the possible exception of you fine folks and my college buddies who are a 2-3 hour drive away). I am now faced with having to choose between getting ahead in my career vs staying in the home I love so much because the job opportunity that will help me get to the next level is not here, but about 3-1/2 - 4 hours west of here in an area I know nothing about and where I will know no one. As much as I want to get ahead professionally, I just don't think that I will be happy being that isolated from the people I hold dear. How do I tell myself that it is ok to stay where I am and that I am not just wimping out on this opportunity? Will I lose credibility with my supervisors for not wanting to move? I just don't know what to do....

Anyways - thanks for listening...

Goof

I think you just need to look deep down and see what your heart tells you. Its usually the right thing... Just do what you think is best for you.

GOOD MORNING Body Board Babes!

Well, FINALLY we have a decent day here (and by decent, I mean actually above freezing and the SUN was out for a while this morning). I was feeling pretty down on myself when I got up this morning (due to not seeing the scale move despite doing everything right...staying on my food program, drinking tons of water, working out 5x/week...and barely a loss for 4 weeks in a row...). So I was thinking about bagging my workout for the day.

But when I saw how nice it was out...well, that did it for me. I pointed my car to the beach (just a couple of miles away...I live in a coastal community ) and ran outside along the ocean (no...lol...not in the sand. I am not nearly that hard core...there is a nice paved path). It did a WORLD of good for me to be outside with that fresh sea air and the crash of the surf... I only did 2.8 miles which was fine with me...it improved my attitude and that is more important these days, I think.

Dawn--I am home till 1:00 pm ET, so if you want to call, I will be around. Sorry I had to jet on you yesterday!

Paula--that is a tough one, for sure. Normally, my advice would be to stay where your support system is. Jobs come and go, but your community of people is so important. BUT...I am thinking in this case, I might go the other direction. I think it is really important in life to take risks, to break away from safety nets, etc. as that is where real personal growth comes from. Your friends and family will still be your friends and family no matter where you live and what job you have. And fortunately, you are single...so that means that you can do this easily...you are not having to worry about pulling kids out of a school district, having a partner whose job can't move, etc. You have the freedom to do whatever you want and live wherever you want...that is a huge blessing! It gets more complicated as life moves on. You have very few strings right now, so I am inclined to say go for it.

I have just, literally, been offered my dream job. And it is kinda breaking my heart b/c I just don't see how there is any way I can do it. There are a couple of things I am still checking into to see if I can make it work, but because I have my family, own a house, dh has a job and on and on...it would be SO complicated for me to fulfill my dream. But YOU are in a different position...one that you may not always be in. So I would think about that aspect carefully. Either way, keep coming here and keeping us up to date....ask for opinions, whine when you need to.

Ok, I am off to read and research how the break through this flippin' plateau!
