Marie's New Years Resolution~in July

[toystoryduo]

Marie,

I hope the science fair project is going well. Great job with the exercise and don't worry too much about the pizza... You are doing a fabulous job, Marie! This is your year!

 

[kimwim8]

I'll tell you what....if you're comfortable with your exercise minutes for February (especially with your DH being away & we don't want you out there by yourself) then stick with it and kick @$$ again in February.

And who cares about 2 little stinkin' pieces of pizza. How many would you have eaten if it was the "old" Marie? That's what I try to remind myself when I do fall off the wagon. My "bad" meals are almost always better than they would have been in days past. You did it, you worked out, you move on. DONE.

 

[CACruisin']

You are kickin' you know what with your exercise and your eating on plan. Great Job! on the size 10's too!!

Happy belated B'day gunner!

It's tough to get the exercise in when DH is out of town, but I'm sure you can do it! You have had an awesome January! February will be great too!

 

[lindalinda]

Dont worry about the pizza, you are kicking butt anyway!

I was thinking of a challenge myself for february...maybe a mileage one. You up for it? I have a treadmill now so I can be in with the cool kids!

Hey, that's a cool idea!!! THE MILEAGE CHALLENGE!!
Great idea Linda!! (now come up w/a clippie for it!!! ) Seriously....we could set a goal for ourselves and track it.... 0/30
I'm in!!

So, today "N" sat across from me in the office and sneezed and sniffled and coughed and snorked. ALL DAY!!! IT WAS GROSS!!! I told her she needed to go home if she was that sick and she said she couldn't afford to...I said, well, when I get sick, and then BOTH of my kids get sick, I'll be sure to send you a bill for the amount of days I'll miss!! She never looked up...good thing...i was glaring!! I know....I know...I'm a mean person, but come on!!! She calls in sick when she's not, and when she is, she comes in and contaminates the rest of us!! I told the boss if she came in tomorrow sick, then I was taking a vacation day! We'll see!! ok...rant over.

Food wasn't bad today...
B-banana nut muffin (heated in the toaster oven @ work...YUMMMM)
L-chiken salad w/ 6 crackers & sf applesauce
s-chocolate graham cracker twists
D-lasagna....(i've had about 4 bites of leftover speghetti... )
Water-60 oz so far....
Exercise-none tonight....I'm cold....REALLY COLD...like 21 degrees....even cold in the garage w/ the heater on.

Ya know, I so appreciate the encouragement you guys give me on here! I wish you all lived closer! I feel a little out of sorts this week....not bad...but not good... . Like yesterday, I could have TOTALLY resisted the pizza, but I didn't....now i'm asking myself why did i have it? And tonight...the speghetti....I have lasagna on my list, so why take bites of the speghetti? I don't know if i'm getting bored w/ the food, or if i'm trying to kid myself that "it's ok...it's only a bite..." I know I have to stop whatever it is i'm doing. It's going to totally sabbotage what I'm working so hard on. It's only Tuesday, and I'm already worried about WI on Saturday! I don't want to show a gain. I REALLY want to see 155. OK...NO MORE BITES HERE AND THERE!!! IF IT'S NOT ON THE JC MENU, IT DOESN'T GO IN MY MOUTH!! (keep me on track guys.....I need you!!)

ok...off to finish the SF project, and to get on another layer of clothes...it's freezing in my house right now!!

you don't love me...you love torturing me!!!

[lovinaz]

You definitely need to stop the little BLTs (bites, licks, tastes). All those little extras add up to some serious calories. I'm sure you haven't done any damage, but you don't want to get back into any bad habits.

The key is that you recognized what you were doing and know you have to stop, GREAT JOB!!!

You are doing awesome Marie, keep it up!

 

[toystoryduo]

Marie,

Sorry to hear about the "fun" your co-worker is bringing to work. When people are that sick, why do they come into work? To spread the joy... I mean germs? Yuck!

Keep up the good work! Try and avoid the BLT's if you can. I know it's hard, but you CAN do it!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

 

[kimwim8]

I knew you would cave... I mean..... I knew you'd be up for the challenge!

Wanna do 2 weeks? It doesn't have to be a full 30 days. Habits are formed after 2 weeks. Let's start Saturday since it's a new week for you. If you're up for that, then it'll start 2/3 and end 2/17. You CAN do it!! If those dates don't work for you, then I'll let you pick when.

What's up with the mileage challenge? We starting that as of 2/1??? How many miles are you going with? I think I'm gonna go for 25 miles, since it's still frigid and I'll be probably only relying on the treadmill. Someone come up with the details....and we'll do it!!

 

[kmp1191]

Who needs details when we have an AWSOME clippie...THANKS LINDA!!! I figure I'm gonna go for 30. Might not make it, but that's my goal! I figure DH will be gone all next week and 3 days around the 13th...I'll be treadmilling it those days, otherwise, I plan on being out in the elements!
When I got home from work/dr. this afternoon, dh was all bundled up for his walk...I said, "what, you think you're going alone??" he said he thought I'd be too cold... was my response!!! 2 pairs of pants, 3 shirts, gloves & a hat and off we went for our 2 miles!!! Get this guys....IT WAS FRICKING SNOWING!!! Yes, it's done now, but it was snowing in Memphis today!!
So, "N" was at work today...much better than yesterday, thank goodness!! I bought some Dayquil for her, just in case!!
Oh...and one more thing....had my follow-up from my ear surgery today...yes, over 2 months later... So, they do a series of tests, then I see the dr. He's all smiles!! I started off w/ 52% hearing loss in the right ear, now I have 100% hearing in it!!! I told him I could hear MUCH MUCH better, and that some things were TOOO loud. He laughed and said get used to it! Also, we're not going to do anything w/ the left ear for the time being. He wants to see me back in a year...we'll see!

So...that's my day in a nutshell....how was yours??

B-Silver dollar pancakes & veggie sausage
L-chicken stuffed sandwich
D-will be Turkey w/ gravy
S-later tonight-LEMON CAKE (i love desert!)
also, if i get hungry i didn't eat my orange from my earlier snack...we'll see
Water-60 oz
Exercise-2 mile walk...no running...too cold!!! 30 minutes!

I'll check back in later guys!!!
Thanks!
marie

Kimmmy....ok..i'm in on the no BLT's...Starting TODAY!!! if i'm gonna be on track, i have to STAY on track!!! Give me til 2/15 on it. I think I'll be ok after that!! I'm also gonna talk to my JC counselor on Saturday about incorporating a meal or 2 of my own....not sure if i'm ready or not yet.
Also, I say we start the MILEAGE CHALLENGE on 2/1. I figure we'll just track it the same way we track our exercise. I don't know if i'm gonna sign up for the exercise challenge again or not...i keep forgetting to log it in on that thread...I'll do the exercises, and keep track of them....i just forget to tell the other thread about it...

ok...now i'm gone for a few!!!
marie

 

[kimwim8]

OK!! I'm in on the mileage challenge. I'm going for 25 for February. (can someone PM the clippy to me? I'm not too smart about these things! )

And I have no idea how to create a no BLT clippy. Maybe I can find something. Is it only me....when I see you guys post BLT, I think of the sandwich & not the bites, licks, tastes )

GREAT JOB getting out there for a walk in the freakin snow!! You ROCK!!!

 

[kimwim8]

testing.....

 

[toystoryduo]

Marie,

I'm glad to hear that your doctor's appointment went so well today! That is wonderful news WISH sis! I am so happy for you.

I'm glad to hear that your co-worker is feeling better. That was nice of you to take some medicine in for her just in case.

Hope you have a great day tomorrow!

HOUSTON....WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!!!
No...it's not really a food problem...it's a rum problem...i'm out! Someone call Cap'n Jack...he'll have some!!!
I swear....today was the pits!!! What is it about my 7 year old daughter that just wears me out?? I'm not going to go into details....we'd be here for 2 days...minimum!! She is so....what....what is the word i'm looking for?...can I post it here???? I called my mother tonight...(was gonna call you, Kim, but I figured you were busy w/ your own) was almost in tears...AGAIN!!!! She just keeps on and on and on until I lose it!!! This morning it was what she was going to wear....even though we set it out the night before....tonight it's all about bugging the crap out of her brother...he finally locked himself in his room....who can blame the kid??? I want to lock myself in my room!!!
She's in bed now...YES, I told her I loved her before she went to bed! She's a beautiful, smart, vibrant little girl and she's sucking the life right out of me!!!

Ok....so on with today....food sucked...
B-a banana (didn't have time....was too busy fighting w/ dd)
L-cashew chicken
s-1 caramel kiss
d-JC personal pan pizza
s-rum & diet coke
water-20 oz, diet coke 8 oz, coconut rum - not nearly enough!
exercise-none - but the science fair project is done!!

Tomorrow will be a MUCH better day...I know it will. I will get up and hit the treadmill...i'm already behind on the Mileage Challenge, and tomorrow night I will do my weights and abs.

ok...gonna go sit w/ dh for a few minutes.....

Sometimes kids just make you nuts. When I get mad at Kev its usually in the morning when I see the evidence of all the mess he made the night before and didnt clean up. Then on the drive to work I have the big blowout fight with him in my head. He is usually grounded for a month or so during this imaginary fight. Lucky for him, by the time I get home after work I'm more rational, and usually just say "you really need to try harder" Sometimes he does.

Count your blessings girl!

(dont tell Kev but I would have adored having a little girl too)

Oh, Linda. I don't know about that. Maybe when the DD's are in their 20's then it's wonderful to have DD's.

I'm just kidding (mostly). I'd say 75% of the time, my DD7.9 is a joy and SO much fun to be around. It's that OTHER 25% of the time that, as Marie so eloquently described....she sucks the life outta me!!

Marie -
You picked a hell of a time to run outta rum, woman. Don't you know you should always have a stock of that stuff?? (that comes in the manual you got when you gave birth to a GIRL. You got one, didn't you? ) Must be something going on with them, because mine is exactly the same way right now. She needs to go to law school because she can argue the heck out of any point she's trying to make (like why she HAS TO bring her digital littlest pet to school or else she'll die or worse...be shunned by all of her friends who she's promised to show it to. need I go on?)

We have the same clothes argument every day too. It doesn't matter if you've agreed to the outfit the night before. Their mood can morph overnight and then the outfit will just not work out in the morning.

Call me anytime, dear. I can certainly sympathize with you. I'll tell you - our 2 girls together would be T-R-O-U-B-L-E!

I hope today is better for you and your food yesterday was still good. And today is freakin February 2nd. You are NOT behind on the mileage challenge. Give yourself a break, lady.

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

Hope today is going better for you! I think your food for yesterday didn't look too bad!

I would like in on the mileage challenge too please!! I agree about forgeting to post my time on the exercise challenge. I have good intentions, but then I forget to go over and post I have been using the treadmill a lot since it is COLD outside! Will you PM me the clippie? I think I will go for 25!

Good luck on the BLT challenge!! You can do it!

Have a great weekend!!

 

[lovinaz]

I have the opposite problem as you. My DD7 is the sweetest little thing on earth. She will get teary-eyed if she thinks I am mad at her. All my problems are from DS10, who is absolutely EXHAUSTING to parent...

Hang in there, you need to save your strength for the female teenage years! That's when you'll need a 50 gallon drum of Capt Morgan!

I don't think your eating looked that bad, all things considered.

SNOW DAY!!!!
Yep, it snowed 3 inches in Memphis....(2 1/2 ) so of course, schools are closed!!! I crack up every time this happens! I guess it's one of the benefits of living in the south...it snow's and everyone panics!!! It's 2:30 ish and the snow is gone....but it was here this morning, and I got to take today off!!!! :jumping1
Ok....i'm better now! I just REALLY didn't want to go to work today! My house has been in utter termoil and I really wanted to get it cleaned....really cleaned! And that's impossible on one day weekends! ( I have another photoshoot on Sunday). So, I've got my bedroom done...new sheets, comforter, dustruffle, dusted & vaccumed, both bathrooms are done...., Living room & kitchen are both done....swept, mopped, put stuff away...DONE!!! Now I have to work in the office/dining room. It's the catchall room. I also have about 42 loads of laundry to get caught up on. , but heck, it's still early!!! I also want to clean my closet out...bunch of crap clothes that need to go to Goodwill. Man, I'm pumped today!!!
So, what's up w/ my food....I don't think i'm gonna show a loss tomorrow... No, i haven't been BLT ing, but I don't feel like I've lost either. After I eat, I feel really stuffed...might need to drop the calorie's a little bit... I don't know...just feeling fat this week....what's up w/ that?

Oh, and DD is across the street.... (yes, that's mean... ) things are quiet here!! The painter is here AGAIN, and DS is in his room reading....

I'll check back later....off to the laundry room....
