Last Chance for a Summer Vacation Experience- August 2016 Weight Loss and Lifestyle Change Challenge

[kirstie101]

I wasn't online yesterday as it was back to school day for my kids. First day of 4th for DD and first day of Kinder for DS who is my youngest! I think I held it together though it was a rough day for me emotionally.

The scale has been kind to me this week but I've also been working pretty hard. I'm at 75% of my goal when at the beginning of the week it was 0% on the scale.

My support system is varied. This group has been a great support this month and last. A couple of my running buddies are a great support to me. I think my biggest obstacle is myself!

I'm so excited about Main Street Electrical Light Parade coming back to DL! I saw it when I was a kid and have fond memories of it. It will be very cool to watch it with my mom and my kids! I can't wait!

My cousin committed suicide in March. I wish I could have 5 minutes with him to tell him that he's loved.

 

[Lady Marie]

In the the musical "Wicked" there is a song about people passing through your life.
People may pass through your life but you are a different person because you knew them.

Question of the Day
Who in your past would you like to spend 5 minutes with to tell them about how you turned out?

Love, love, love that song. Whenever it comes on I am reminded of all the people that impacted me and my life "for good"... especially the ones that aren't around anymore

I lost the aunt I was closest to while I was a sophomore in college. She was "the fun aunt" that never had kids, traveled the world, would give me wine and champagne to celebrate life events whether I was of age or not LOL, and would always tell me not to worry about life or take it so seriously-- that I would see the world too and find a wonderful man to do it with. I wish I could show her that her dream for me came true and experience her wonderful energy again.

1. Disney announced that the Main Street Electrical Parade will leave DW in Oct.

I am not exactly sad to see this go I appreciate it for the classic that it is, but I would love for WDW to get something updated.

Is it just me, or has this been the longest week that's ever existed?

No it's not just you at all! This week, and now today, is just creeping right on by....


@donac A big congratulations and happy wedding day to you and your family!!!

 

[MommaoffherRocker]

If I had 5 minutes with someone it would be my meemaw. She passed away a little over 5 years ago so my youngest 2 will never meet her. It makes me sad since we were so close.

I'm not sure how I feel about the new Pete's Dragon. The original was one of my favorites as a kid and this one seems so different.

I love the Main Street Electrical parade mainly because the kids love it. I will always cherish watching them as they would watch the characters go by. I am sure whatever replaces will be just as good or better.

Congrats @donac!

 

[ski_mom]

Hope your son's wedding was great! I'm sure it was beautiful!

I'd definitely choose my dad to spend my 5 minutes with. He had a heart attack while driving and died from either the heart attack or crash. They weren't really sure which. So, it was very sudden and unexpected. Anyway, it was 12 years ago, so all my kids had been born, but I know he'd really have enjoyed our son. My mom and dad had 2 girls and my 2 oldest are girls. Our son was just 2 when dad passed away and I know he would have loved going to all his games he's played in. I feel he knows, but I'd love to talk with him about it.

 

[HappyGrape]

Sorry for being so absent again. I am frustrated with my eating and my exercise and I don't want to step on the scale, so I also don't want to hang out here because I feel such a failure... At least today eating has been good so far and I managed to track a few days recently. I am just finding it so hard when there are people around to do my routine. I feel like all my coping mechanisms are not working when I am not on my own. At least I am not putting on a lot of weight, I still fit in all my "slim" clothes. But I know that I need to get more disciplined if I want to lose again!!

hi, I hope you are enjoying the time you have with your boyfriend!

I am trying to say this in friendly way, and I hope it comes across as anything else. I think one of the key for me was to search for happiness in healthy lifestyle including meals out and celebrations. Meaning way of not needing coping mechanisms on a night out. You should be happy! Every day you should live in a way to make you happy. I think in the past I viewed healthy as somewhat less happy than treat day, vacation or meal out with DH. Try to see is there are ways of matching enjoying your summer & living healthy. Walks, nice salads, night out dancing, delicious summer fruit? My good previous was just too unrealistic to sustain. I let my love for yoga and watermelon run wild this summer - it seem to kick my love of man made desserts right out to - nah, I don't need that stuff!

And please shake of the failure feeling and enjoy your summer. You are very strong, independent, highly educated woman - you will figure it out. Don't let it ruin the time you have. You have the rest of your life to make good choices, every meal, every morning, every time you choose a walk or a swim/cycle is opportunity to make the right, and the happy choice. If you do it consistently you will get the results. Few minor exceptions really don't matter

 

[HappyGrape]

I haven't reported either as I too 1 week off. This week I am back to normal activities, I took 1 day off every day for the rest of the month! I will use it to get to my gym and do bodypump & yoga, lunch in lovely salad bar nearby and walk on the beach in the afternoon. Yesterday was first off day and it was like mini holiday - it's so much fun to feel good about yourself, feel energetic and having a good workouts and eating healthy but also tasty food!

I decided not to stress over the scale this month. Not that I did the month before but I was more focused on weight loss. I kind of feel very content right now! I did before after pictures from 18th of November to yesterday and the difference is insane!!!! I feel I have done well.

If now weight loss until 22nd of August I will reconsider my plan but for now I am happy to continue as I am, just focusing on consistency and sustainability and enjoying my summer

 

[pjlla]

Good Friday morning everyone.

Three things are happening this week.

1. Disney announced that the Main Street Electrical Parade will leave DW in Oct.

2. The new version of Pete's Dragon opens today

3. My oldest son is getting married today

This is a very emotional day for me.
My dh and I have lost 3 parents in the last 2 years so having my mother there means a lot to us.

In the the musical "Wicked" there is a song about people passing through your life.
People may pass through your life but you are a different person because you knew them.

Question of the Day
Who in your past would you like to spend 5 minutes with to tell them about how you turned out?

It does not have to be about your weight loss journey.​

The song is "For Good" and it holds a VERY special place in my heart! I bought DD tix to see Wicked (with me) in Providence for Christmas during her freshman year of college. We had a great evening and LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the show. About a year later I wanted to make a slide show for DD with pictures of all of our Mother/Daughter adventures over the years and needed another piece of music and I choose "For Good" as the opening song. I absolutely fell in love with the song as I REALLY listened to the lyrics. And it says much about my relationship with my daughter. I'd love to share the slide show but I think that the file size is too big, as the entire show is about 10 minutes long.

Anyhoooo...... who would I like 5 more minutes with??.....I've been SO LUCKY to have had very little loss in my life. I was an adult with a baby of my own before I lost my Grandfather, but he would still be the person I would want to spend time with. I truly DO think of him nearly daily and it breaks my heart that my DS never knew him. They would have adored each other! I see SO MUCH of my grandfather in my son.

GREAT QOTD Dona! I was thinking of you yesterday and I hope that the day went off without a hitch and pray that the thunderstorms that rolled through New England avoided you!

@donac Happy Wedding Day to you and the bride and groom! I hope it will be a wonderful day and wish the couple all the best for the future!

Thank you everyone for the encouragement! I know that I need to come back to the thread more regularly because you always help me to refocus! I am so grateful for it!

I did go for a run yesterday and tracked all my food and stayed within my calories for the day! So, hopefully today is going to turn into another good day. I feel if I manage to get back into a routine of tracking this will already be half of what I need to do!

QOTD:
My grandfather. I know he would have been so proud of what I do professionally and he never really got to experience it. And I would love to have a grown up conversation with him to ask him things about his life that I never got to ask.

Glad to hear that you sound like you are in a better place!!

I am so bummed about this because part of our December trip etched out plans to sit down and watch the parade.... and two rounds of WISHES (Christmas and the regular one). And the worst part? We're not renewing our annual passes in November so... for the first time since 1994 I'll be without a pass.

My grandmother - she practically raised me. I think she'd be really happy with the fine young woman I've turned into.


And @donac - congrats on your son's wedding.

I'm sure your Grandmother would be VERY proud of you!!

I think no matter what Disney does, they are bound to disappoint someone, somewhere. I am devasted that Paint The Night is literally going dark a week before I arrive. We had planned to have three nights in Disney in order to be sure that we saw ALL THREE evening events (WOC, PTN, Disneyland Forever Fireworks) without having to scramble too much. It was a stretch to buy that third day because we really only have a few hours, not a full day.

****************************

Morning all! Heading down to DD's for a day to bring her some apartment stuff that was left home (hard to know exactly what she would need and what would fit where). She, of course, has to work today, so we will have a few hours at lunch time and then most of the evening (she usually goes back for about an hour to collect fish eggs at 8 pm). So I need to get flying so I don't miss any of her lunch break! We are planning to make a new SkinnyTaste recipe for dinner together. If it is great, I'll share it later this week.

Need to grab coffee, throw a few things in an overnight bag, and load the car.... so gotta dash!....................P

 

[donac]

Thanks for all the well wishes. It was very hot during most of the day but it seemed to cool a little for the outdoor ceremony.

I will try to post a couple of pictures later. I got to dance with my son to "You'll be in my Heart" from Tarzan which is one of his favorite movies. It was also sweet that he carried my dad's pocket watch and wore cuff links from my dh's father.

The wedding was lovely and everyone had a great time

 

[dsnyfn1022]

Checking in today! I lose 4 pounds this week but considering 2 of those were gained last week that puts me at 50% to goal! I felt so motivated this week it felt AMAZING. Back at it for another week. Fingers crossed it is equally as successful. It helps that I'm broke and have no money to eat out and PBJs are decently okay if you measure everything out

 

[HappyGrape]

OK, maybe it's time to get going again! less than 10 weeks to holiday! Odd but it feels little... kind of nervous this time I may actually end up achieving my goal

Plan for today - do proper shopping this morning and food prep. Yoga & swim lunch time and get ready for the week after.

Are you all set for super healthy week ahead?

 

[Dr Gunnie]

I stink.

Sorry I have been MIA this month - August is always super busy with the start of football and going back to work. I'm hoping to be back on some sort of routine next week and I'll be able to contribute more.

Weekly check in:

Last week I was at 226 lbs after gaining 9 lbs on vacation. Because of that, I made my goal for August to lose 11 lbs. The good news was that weight that came on so quickly also left quickly and I lost 9.5 lbs this week. I am 86% towards my goal.

It doesn't make any sense how I could gain that much so quick or lose that much so quick, so I'm not going to try and figure it out. I should probably adjust my goal for the month a little bit... maybe bump it up and try to get to 210 lbs... we'll see.

Two "quick" stories from yesterday:

My wife and I went to a winery yesterday with friends and then to dinner. One of the couples that were there we had met about a half dozen times before, but we hadn't seen them in probably close to a year. The guy introduces himself to me and at first I'm like, come on man, we've hung out before... you know who I am. We've sat at the same table at a few weddings and things... strange. My wife and I go get a drink and she is like, how does he not remember you? I say maybe it's because of the weight loss and because I have sunglasses on? We go back to the table and after about 5 minutes he just shouts, holy s---, that's Josh!!!! He felt so bad not recognizing me, but I told him that was the biggest complement someone could have given me. He was in shock the whole rest of the night about how much weight I lost.

The other thing I learned is having drinks at 320 lbs is a lot different than having drinks at 216 lbs. Let's just say my head is still pounding this morning. Lesson learned - I can't have as many drinks as I used to... today will be a rest day for sure.

 

[donac]

Sorry that I have not been around this weekend. I just wanted to share some pictures from Friday

Here is the bride and groom right after the ceremony.


Here is my dh and I walking him down the aisle


Here is a picture with from left to right ds2's fiance, me, ds1, dil, ds2 and dh

Not a bad picture considering it 95 degrees outside and 85% humidity. I redid my makeup at least 4 times during the party. Too bad you couldn't see my shoes. They looked Dorothy shoes from the Wizard of Oz but silver. Not the bed because my feet at the end of the evening hurt.

I will get back to posting questions tomorrow.

Just try to stay cool because it is just too hot here to do anything.

 

[Lady Marie]

Checking in from the road-- on our way back from our super quick weekend to Disney. Between leaving late and work on Saturday it didn't seem like nearly enough time. I am so happy to be going back for Labor Day.

I am only at 38%.

I missed a workout this week because I have not been feeling well - weak and fatigued and dizzy sometimes. I don't know what's going on. I slept a lot this weekend and think it helped. I may have been overdoing it. Who knows.

Anyway I hope to feel better and in turn do better this week!

@Dr Gunnie that's crazy/awesome how much you've changed that he didn't recognize you!

Trying to get there. I have a few meals planned but I need to take some freezer inventory and plan the rest. Not sure if I mentioned this or not, but I ended up with the majority of the contents of DMIL's upstairs freezer (yup.... 93 y/o woman who lived alone had TWO freezers full of food..... she like grocery shopping almost as much as cooking!). None of it was really dated (unless it still had a grocery store label) so not knowing how long it has been frozen I want to use it up before my other stuff. Friday night was chicken drumsticks and I was DELIGHTED to see they had already been skinned! Thanks Mom!! I hate that job! Tonight is skinless chicken thighs, but they aren't fully defrosted yet so I don't know if they are bone-in or boneless. I have tons of garden veggies, so I will probably just grill these, regardless.

I stink.

LOVE, love, love that story!! You must have felt wonderful!!

I agree..... I don't know WHY that the vacation weight seems to disappear quickly, but it often does. I always joke that it hasn't had time to 'dig in its claws' yet..... fast on, fast off! That is one of the BIG benefits of getting right back on plan after a vacation!

*********************

Hey friends! Had to take a break from cleaning, so I wanted to pop on here and say hello. I got back from my quick overnight at DD's about noon, had a quick light lunch and have been cleaning ever since. My bedroom has just gotten out of control! That being said, it is really hot here again today and it makes cleaning a bit miserable.

I feel like the next 30 days are going to go by faster than lightening! I'm still working full-time summer maintenance at school, plus my weekly WW meeting plus my 24/7 chat job with WW. I start subbing at school BEFORE school actually starts (in the office) and the, of course, SCHOOL starts for me! Yup, scheduled to sub for a teacher on the second day of school! Then I move my DS to college that weekend! YIKES! Hope he is feeling more prepared than I do!! Then it will be a week of school, Labor day weekend..... and then DD and I leave for California and Disneyland!! I can hardly believe it is nearly here! I was finally within 3 pounds of my DL goal weight before my vacation, but of course have rebounded up a bit, so I need to put the pedal to the metal and make significant progress in the next 25 days! My "good" summer shorts fit, but too snuggly for my taste.

I also gave DH a snorkeling trip to Bermuda for his 50th birthday and our (upcoming) 25th wedding anniversary The plan was to go in October, but I will say he isn't as enthusiastic about it as I had hoped. I know he is disappointed he has regained some of his weight and I'm sure he is thinking about beach/bathing suit photos. I will broach the subject of scheduling the trip when he gets home later and try to gauge what he's thinking. Maybe it will have to wait until spring???

Gotta have a snack and get cleaning..... I want watermelon, but I have a cantaloupe that can't wait any longer. I'm going to have a glass of sweetened kombucha tea too.... I find that really refreshing when it is so hot! And I need to get more brewing soon... this is my last serving!............P

Checking in at 50% of goal for the month.

 

[HappyGrape]

Check in 15%. haha Every little counts

Drama home last night! My fit bit died!!!! At 15:15 exactly! i had a little panic, old patterns/habits all or nothing, I am off the hook as I can't count it!

By that time already did yoga and about 13000 steps.

So I hit the toast! I was tired and had a mini freak out, OMG how will I balance it all out.

After few minutes, I calmed down, added all the calories up 200 above calorie burned, nothing to worry about really after having an active week I am still like healthy 3000 calories deficit for the week

I got up from the couch and I did my weekly food prep

I had a good look in my progress photo from November last year to last Friday.

Woke up at 5 this morning. Had a good self talk about who I want to be and what I want my life to be. I decided to view this week as challenge instead of problem (not having activity tracker) and to make it best week ever! Packed 4 days of food for work. We have fridge there. I was in the gym at 6:45 am and killed it! It's not the counting that counts it's living active and eating healthy!

Instead of thinking I blew it all out I picked myself and moved on. I am proud of myself today, I handled it great (after the initial scare!)

I was tempted by vivoactive garmin but love the fitbit app and as it worked so well for the first 10 kg I ordered fitbit surge. I should get it by the end of the week. In the mean time, I plan to continue enjoying being active and make it my best week ever!

SOOOOO very proud of you! It would have been too easy to fall into a funk or succumb to a bunch of excuses when your Fitbit died.... but you didn't!! That shows, even more than the scale, how much you have learned and how far you have come!! I'm delighted to read this and I find it SO encouraging to me this week! I need to have a good self-talk too and make this a TERRIFIC week! Thank you!

***************************

Good morning friends! While a 4 am alarm wasn't the best way to start my week (working a 24/7 shift right now), working for WW first thing certainly helps put my mind in the right place for a successful week, as did our friend's post that I quoted above. It just reminds me that encouraging words cannot be overrated...... one reason why I LOVE spending time here with all of you!! "We rise by lifting others" is such a great quote.... and even when you feel like you don't have much to offer here (and I know that I feel like that frequently), just being here to cheer on others can help us to help ourselves!

My WW shift is done now so time to throw dinner in the crockpot and get dressed for my day job! TTYL.................P

Well done!! The fitbit is just a resource, not a necessity and I think those few days without the device will be a good learning experience for you! You seem to have the right attitude and a little panic at the beginning is totally understandable!

----

I had a very busy weekend, we had visitors and rented a car for the weekend to do some day trips (I don't own a car as there is no issue getting around most places on public transport here). It was a good experience for me as I need the practice of driving. I am not a very good driver and therefore tend to avoid driving. But I really need to keep that skill active! I was amazed how physically draining it was to drive for two days. But we saw plenty of wonderful areas and we ended up with a great car, a BMW 218. It is kind of a compact BMW, but comfortable enough for four adults. It definitely was one of the best equipped rental cars I ever had. And I was amazed at how much I actually enjoyed driving it!! I shocked my American friends by telling them that our rental car would be able to drive at 150 mph - and in Germany that would have even been legal!! (We did not drive that fast though as I find anything about 90-100 mph far too exhausting).

My eating is still not really perfect, but it seems that I am not doing too badly. I am actually down a little and am just coming in as no longer overweight again! And theoretically I am in the heavy phase of the month right now. So, that is encouraging. As is the way my clothes fit. So, even though I am struggling at the moment, I seem to be able to at least maintain more or less.

Progress Report: 6%!! (I take @HappyGrape's motto: Every little counts!)

Sorry that I have not been around this weekend. I just wanted to share some pictures from Friday

The best excuse for not being on here! Thank you for sharing the photos - the bride looks gorgeous love her dress - your son is handsome and looks very happy - you are glowing with pride and happiness. I hope you all enjoyed the day! wow that many make-up retouches lol. Can't wait to see pics of wedding no. 2.

Then I move my DS to college that weekend! YIKES! Hope he is feeling more prepared than I do!! Then it will be a week of school, Labor day weekend..... and then DD and I leave for California and Disneyland!!

Wow so much going on - at least you have the DL trip with your daughter to take your mind of your son moving to college - for a little while anyway. We just did senior subject selections for the next 2 years for my oldest - which needed to based on pre-requisite subjects for college courses he might want to do - so it was the start of the big future planning - its all a bit scary and I just know I will blink and he will be graduating senior!

I have been MIA - I have still been feeling under the weather and have not been able to resume my walking - I am in a bit of a funk at the moment and my eating has also taken a hit. I feel all bloated and yukky - I am hoping the cough/illness clears soon and I can get back into it. Ok whine over.
