Losing weight for Mickey

[rumrunnergirl]

Keep up the good work everybody! And don't worry about a slight weight gain one week - it can be from ANYTHING and doesn't necessarily mean that it is new fat on your body!

While I do weigh every day, my "official" weigh-in is Monday morning after the gym and a bathroom visit LOL. Every little bit helps. That is when I measure also.

I haven't been that great this week - nothing horrible - but not as well as I should be doing. I guess while I am able to avoid Girl Scout Thin Mints, I haven't been able to pass up Monster Cookies. I have no idea how many carbs are in one? I've only had 1 1/2 but I'm guessing 40 carbs per cookie. UGH! I also had some Ritz Crackers and a very thin slice of chocolate cake.

So . . . . I will increase my tread mill workouts this week. I have started lifting weights for that "clapping" flab and doing my crunches. My cat keeps attacking my yoga mat when I leave it on the floor.

In Canada we have a show called X Weighted where they help people lose 50 lbs or more. Anyway, the trainer on the show has a new website and he has these great Top 10 tips. I thought I would post the link as I found them very interesting: paulplakas.com

Not a good week for me. I am not even wighing this week. I have cronic Strep throat ( I am on the waiting list to get my tonsils out) and I am on this Super-Antibiotic. It makes me gain horrible amounts of weight (last time it was 8 lbs). I think it is from water retention. So I am not going to stress, I am just not even going to look

Hope everyone has a good week!!

Happy Monday everyone!

So heres my weight in - I lost about 4.5 pounds this week It would have been more if it hadn't been for that evil corned beef and cabbage dinner last night, but I really didn't eat all that much, and it was darn good - I'm hoping its just water retention because corned beef is so salty. Oh well, I still plan on doing my tredmill twice a day for 35-40 minutes each time every day this week, though my youngest just threw up, so I'll have to keep a close eye on her - I hope it was just an ill timed burp or something, I hate stomach colds!
Good luck to everyone this week!!

Can you say Piggy Piggy Piggy.... I don't know what came over me! I was such a Pig this weekend. AND I feel horrid for it!

I still don't have a scale butr I weighed in at my moms... No change in the numbers so I am really back on track. I'm going to shop for a scale later this week when i'm out shopping.

I'm off to the sewing machine to work on a dress for my nieces wedding. Have a great day everyone!

Asome weight loss SharpMomOfTwo!

Well I was down exactly 1 lb from last Monday. But I'm feeling very discouraged. It seems my weight is going up and down and up and down and I'm only down 4lbs from where I started.

I know I'm not exercising enough. (Neuroma in my foot - which means it feels like I'm stepping on a Lego when I walk. It's lovely. I just ordered Crocs Rx because they are supposed to help so I'm hoping to be walking more soon.) But I herniated a disc in my neck last month so that has set me back too. Good grief - I'm falling apart and I'm only 34!

We only have 33 days until our trip so I'm feeling pressed for time. I'm just going to have to stick with this and do the best I can.

Don't get discouraged, I'm up a pound from last Monday but I indulged in a few too many cocktails this weekend. Just stick with it, the weight will eventually come off. I'm 36 and have quite a list of ailments myself, I blame the extra 40 pounds for most of it and my kids for the rest of it. LOL!!!

Try not to get discouraged and stay positive! I have lost 31 pounds in 1 1/2 months by finally giving myself time to exercise (never easy with 3 kids) and not making any more excuses like my asthma or hyporthyroidism. Where there is a will there is a way!! The workout I do is Crossfit (crossfit.com) great website and I do the Zone diet which is really not a diet but a very healthy way of eating. We are going to disney this August so I will try to continue to plug away at it to get ready to go public in a bathing suit!!!
Good luck-you can do it!!!!

 

[Omma]

Thank you for the encouragement. I really do appreciate it. I have physical therapy for my back this afternoon and am going to talk to them about this exercise situation. They told me to lay low until the inflammation in my back went down but I need to get moving! Hopefully they will have some suggestions on things I can do.

I have no excuses...well except working full time and 3 kids!!!!!! We leave in ONE WEEK from today and you know what...this is a war! I have lost the battle (wanted to lose decent amt of weight before disney) but i haven't lost the war! I will continue to keep working at this!!! I am a stress eater so as this week comes to an end....just a little bit of stress!!!! SO I am trying to make good decisions and win that war when I get back! KEEP WORKING and DOING YOUR BEST!!

 

[CRdisMom]

Another week in the war, nothing good to report. However nothing bad either. Pneumonia, ear infections and sinus infections have invaded my home.

No exercise until it clears up. Ughh! Trip is getting too close. I will have to resort to cutting calories.

Good luck everyone!!

Guys, don't let the trip deadlines make you crazy.

Anyone trying for more than 5 or 10 lbs is going for a long term lifestyle change. The deadline is artificial. You don't want to look good and feel good just for Disney-- this is to help with your quality of life!!

So lose what you can lose before the trip. Try not to gain any (or much) on the trip. And get back on track when you return.

I SECOND THAT ONE ALICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning all -
Well after spending half the night in the emergency room with DD18 months, we are finally home, and pretty much, all is well. I was only able to get on the treadmill once yesterday, and I'm hoping that I will be able to get one at least once today, but I don't know, I'll have to see how she holds up. Right now shes laying on the couch going in and out of sleep, but at least she is drinking, and no more throwing up so far.
Have a great day everyone!

Day 2 of illness in the house. DD 1.5 is sleeping a lot, but hasn't thrown up since last night. DD3 refuses to eat, but says she feels just fine. I can't get on the treadmill (for 2 days now!!!) and all I can think about is the fact that theres 4 chocolate chip cookies about two feet away from me that would go wonderfully with a glass of milk.....
I haven't lost anything so far this week... I know, I know I'm not suposed to be looking throughout the week, but I just can't help it!
I'm getting my butt on the treadmill as soon as DH gets home - it will make me feel better, and hopefully will supress my lusting for CHOCOLATE!

I hope your DDs are both doing well. Right now taking care of yourself is probably more about getting enough sleep while taking care of your little ones than getting on the treadmill. Good luck in the battle against the cookies The cookies always do me in.

 

[MouseFan71]

To everyone with sick kiddos, I feel your pain, DD6 missed 4 days of school and just went back today. She had a very strange stomach bug that would come and go, she didn't get sick for 50 hours and then whammo - sick again. She spent Fri-Wed on the couch and her pants didn't fit her today because she lost so much weight, why can't I get a bug like that? LOL. Oh well, I haven't been to the gym since last Fri and I've gained a pound, back at it today!!!! Good luck to all and I hope all your children get healthy very soon.

After what I've read about your week, getting on the treadmill was the least of your concerns. The pediatric ER is NEVER a fun place to be. Taking care of your kids was your first concern; now you can get back on track.

 

[DisneyMissy318]

Sorry to hear about everyone's sick kids! My DD 9 was out with the flu one week - then went to school the next week - then was out 4 days of the third week with a bad cold - no fever, but sneezing, snot, coughing, yuck!! Anyway... all I got from her teacher was a call saying that she has missed too many days and would be getting an incomplete on her report card and that we could expect a letter from the school board. I asked her which of those days I should have sent her to school - when she was throwing up and had "stomach" issues - or when there was green stuff coming out of her nose. She said - we wouldn't have wanted her on any of those days! Well, my DD showed her - she made up all of her work and actually did not get an incomplete - but the Honor Roll!!

Okay - sorry about that! I ran across this thread "Losing Weight for Mickey" and it is exactly what I want to do too! I'm in too!

Our trip is December 5-13! (Some same days as OP!) I have had the intentions of joining WW for a few weeks now - and I think today's the day! I just need direction and structure. I've been putting off my yearly with my Dr. because I haven't lost anything since my last appointment - yikes! My appointment is next week and I promised myself I wouldn't reschedule.... so here I am! I'm going back to read the thread and "get to know" you guys!

Thanks!

 

[SharpMomOfTwo]

Thanks for all the kind words everyone DD 1.5 is pretty much good to go, though she keeps having diahrea every once in a while. DD3 on the other hand is just starting out with the illness! I think I got about.... 30 minutes of sleep last night between her throwing up every 20 minutes (sorry if TMI!), and my youngest getting woken up by us running around all night. Now, thank goodness, they are both sleeping on the couch. Its so odd though, DD1.5 is SUCH a better patient than DD3 - I wouldn't have guessed that.

Welcome to the thread! Yeah, we are going 12/9-12/16 and staying at POFQ (though my heart is breaking because I really wanted to stay at the Boardwalk ). Where are you staying? Anyway, if you don't want to join WW, you can always go on ebay and purchase all the books and calculator like I did. I don't want to have to go into a place with people I don't know (or god forbid someone I do know!! )and weigh myself every week - especially after a week like this where I know I'm not going to lose anything! Hopefully by next Monday this darn bug will be out of my house and I can get back to my twice a day workouts!
