Marie's New Years Resolution~in July

[kimwim8]

Holy crap, lady!! That's it...I'm BUYING you a ticket to NJ and you can do the same at my house!! I can't find the time (no snow days for us yet...go figure).

Don't stress about the weigh-in. I'll bet it's better than you think. Maybe not a huge loss...but there's gotta be a loss. Pump that water in you today!!! And don't eat after 7.(worked for me this week!)

If I don't talk to you again before...have a GREAT weekend......and

GO BEARS!!!

 

[kmp1191]

Food today -
S-Banana
B-JC cereal.....forgot which one...and don't want to get up to go look
L-rotini w/ meatballs
D-fish & chips - (french fries.)
Water-40 oz
Exercise-housework....ALOT of it too!!!

Wish me luck tomorrow.....weigh in is at 8:40 am....I'm really hoping for a loss....but like i said...i just don't feel it.

Tomorrow after WI I have a few errands to run, but then it's back home to finish up the cleanup, and clean out my closet. Yay.
Gunner is asleep on my leg, and the circulation to my foot is gone.

Just thought I'd let you know that.

nite!

I just thought I'd tell you that I am beating you on the mileage challenge. I know its only feb 2nd, but all the same I am winning. Just in case you didnt notice that. Not to make you feel bad or anything , I would NEVER do that. I just thought I'd bring it to your attention in case you were to busy with all that other stuff you are doing to notice. Dont let it stress you out or anything. I mean, I dont want to be a bad sport about it or anything. You MIGHT be able to catch up. I wouldnt worry about it , really I wouldnt. Its just good that youre trying. We cant all be athletes you know.

Hmm, I think I can recall you feeling fat last week and you came up with a loss, how did it go this week? I'd let your counselor know that you are feling stuffed, you might be right about the calorie thing!

hhhhmmmmmm......do i detect a little snarkiness from Ms. Linda Lu?/
I hate to say it, but you're right....you are beating me in the mileage challenge....ONLY because I haven't even gotten out to the treadmill, and it's too frickin cold outside....but alas, that will all change....starting today!!! Careful Linda.....I'm headin' your way!!!

Ok....so the weigh in went the way I figured it would this morning...-.8. Not even a full pound. I did talk to my counselor about it, and she gave me some good info. I missed a couple of meals, and skipped a few snacks...she said that the meals are put together the way they are to boost the metabolism, and still be low in calories and fat grams. Basically, I need to eat what's on the plan....all of it, and continue working out....(and pick it up a bit) I also asked her about my Subway sandwich craving and she showed me how to look it up in the dining out book, and how to swap it out for a meal. I will only do it once....if I find that I can't kick the craving. (I've been craving it for 3 frickin' weeks...I think I can make it another one... )

So, I'm not going to change my ticker....It wasn't a full pound. ( .8 )

Ok...off to finish the laundry, then HIT THE TREADMILL!!!! (lindaaaaaa....)

Hi Marie,

Wow! You are doing a great job cleaning and straightening up your house!

Congrats on the .8 weight loss! I know it isn't what you hoped for, but it is still a loss! Keep up the good work!

Have a great weekend!

 

[kmp1191]

So, food today -

B-cranberry almond crunch
s-banana
L-cheese enchilada.. (i was wanting some mexican food today!! )
s-chocolate chip bar
D-salsbury steak w/ peas, carrots & potato wedges
Water-80 oz so far
Exercise - 2 miles on the treadmill (OH LINDAAAAAA!) 30 ish minutes

So, today I got around to cleaning out my closet! It took all fricking day!!! (of course I was watching a movie at the same time.....The Lake House)
I got all my shorts and summer clothes put up into the attic, and I've got a HUGE garbage bag to go to Goodwill....and here's the really major thing....I've narrowed it down to 10 pairs of shoes....(not counting summer shoes, of course!!) oh, i even ripped the carpet out of my closet too! It was nasy and it's gonna be replaced anyway. Now then, if DH will put ALL of his clothes away, the house might actually stay clean for more than a day and a half!!

Ok....so current weight is 157.2. Not gonna dwell on the .8 loss...gonna go forward and kick butt this week!!! DH is going out of town on Monday for a week, so it's gonna be tough, but i can, and will do it!!

ok....gotta pay some bills!!

[kimwim8]

Update your mileage counter, dear!!

Congrats on the loss!! No matter how much....you LOST weight!!!!

Embrace it, accept it, and kick some @$$ next week girl, ok? Blow us all out of the mileage challenge.....I CHALLENGE YOU!!

Have a great week...and if you missed it before, I'll say it again....

GO BEARS!!!!

 

[kmp1191]

GO BEARS!!!


So.....I got up this morning.....froze my butt off, but hit 2 miles....4/30....
ohhhhhhh Lindaaaaaaa

now i'm tucked back in bed....trying to thaw out!!! I have to get ready in about 30 minutes...I have another photo shoot today. About 700 kids in 4 1/2 hours....it'll be 3 or 4 cameras, so it's not really that bad.

I'll check in w/ ya'll later!
Easy does it on the super bowl snacks & parties!
marie

 

[kmp1191]

Man, what the H#!! is wrong with me?? I was doing really good today...REALLY good, until I got home from the photo shoot. I was starving...and weak! I had bought a 5 lb boston butt from a friend of mine for a fundraiser thing....well, she brought it to the shoot, and when i got home, I put it in the over w/ some BBQ sauce....it smellllled sooooo good... so, after it was done heating up.....i figured, one sandwich will be ok...well, one would have been, but I HAD to fix a second one...I only ate half of the second one. What the hell was I thinking? Now I'm sitting here watching the SB, totally miserable and mad at myself!!!

So, food for today -
B-jc cereal - hoops something or other
L-chicken w/ black beans & rice
s-jc cheese curls
D-see above, i don't want to write it again!
water - 80+ oz...i lost count..
exercise-2 mile walk on t-mil, 5 hour photo shoot

i'm so mad at myself....and the Bears defense isn't helping matters!!

Marie,

Please don't be so hard on yourself. Look at the rest of your day... You ate OP, drank 80+ ounces of water, worked out, and you had a 5 hour photo shoot. That is a lot to accomplish in one day! Tomorrow is a brand new day and I know that you will hop right back OP. No worries about today, okay?

Have a great week ahead!

 

[lindalinda]

You had a sandwich. Your quarterback is probably fearing for his life. Have some perspective woman!

Seriously, I bet that sandwich wasnt even that bad, did you look up the calories to see? Its not like you had a brownie, chili dip and a big ole plate of spaghetti or something! You'll get it back tomorrow and so will I. I am drinking tons of water to kind of flush it all away!


Nite

 

[kimwim8]

I second what the ladies said. You did it, and it's over now. Move on. I love that you got in all that water!! That'll help get rid of the salt in there. Maybe try a green tea today. Can you have that on JC? Do a decaf unsweet green tea with a little lemon. OR hot lemon water (doesn't taste too good) but it's GREAT for flushing out excess water you might retain from extra salt intake. Just a couple ideas...but I'm sure that won't even effect your weigh in next Saturday. Believe me....we ALL know how hard it is to have good smelling food around and not being able to stop eating it. Every single one of us has been there and done the same exact thing you did.

Sorry about the Bears. I guess now we have to be happy that they even made it to the superbowl?

 

[kmp1191]

Yeah....the Bears sucked yesterday....except for that 97 yard return! The defense was exhausted...glad ol' Rex got some rest and was able to sit back and watch the game from the bench!!!

I'm gonna post my food and then probably be gone for the nite...I'm watching a friend's daughter, plus I have to get the kids dinner and homework....DH is out of town....God help me!!!

B-JC Honey granola bar thingy
L-JC penne pasta
D-JC turkey w/ gravy
S-later tonight will be a brownie (jc of course)
water-60 oz so far...will have 80 in by bedtime
exercise-planning 2-3 miles on the mill.....hopefully i can get it in.

Didn't kill anyone today....amazingly so. It was a long day...gonna be a long week.
I'm also not dwelling on the sandwich(s) from yesterday either. I'm taking the rest to work tomorrow and they can gorge themselves!!! I told them that I was going to bring it in, and they wanted to know what else I was making w/ it!! (it's a boston butt....pulled bbq pork sandwiches.) I said, " Excuse me....I'm bringing the meat, that I can't even eat...ya'll can come up with the rest of it...K?" They actually thought I was gonna go buy chips and crap!! WTH....I eat my JC EVERY DAY at my desk!!!
stupid people really annoy me!!

ok...off to homework & mill time....(not miller time, unfortunately!!)

marie

ps-ds didn't win anything at the science fair...but it was still a cool project!!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey lady - you still got that CD that I sent you? Sounds to me like you need to chill out, lock yourself in the bathroom, take a bubble bath & just transport to the islands. Screw the challenges and just relax tonight. Take it easy. Meditate. Chill. Zone.

Great idea bringing the butt to work. Get it out of your house and let the other gluttons eat it up!!

Hope your DH is coming home soon. I know you hate it when he's not around. (as much as we complain....somehow we miss them when they're gone. Go figure. )

I also hope your day is going better today.

 

[kmp1191]

ok....my DARLING daughter has really pushed her luck tonight! I told them that on Wednesday, IF they were good, we would go to Sonic for dinner. Well, she thinks we should go tonight....why....because she said so....that's why. Apperantly, I don't make the grilled cheese "squishy" enough. Oh well! So, after 30 minutes of her crying and throwing a royal kanipchion fit, ( i don't respond, which really ticks her off) I finally said, go put your pj's on and go to bed. She calmed down and we had a nice little talk. And yes, I can make "squishy" grilled cheese, and I proved it to her!! (I win!)

So, DH is out of town until Friday....and I'm still out of rum.

B-JC french toast w/ berries
L-2 bites of the bbq and 1 spoon of baked beans...(they had onions in 'em...really big onions!!! )
D-JC lentils and beef.....still not sure what a lentil is...
Water - 80 oz
Exercise - mental exercise - dealing w/ a 7 yr old girl...physical...none....too exhausted mentally!!
Actually, the kids are going to bed at 8:30, then I'll go do 30 minutes.

Oh, and let me tell you....the girls (glutons) at work...they had BIG helpings!!! I saw each one of them go back for seconds too!!! I know I didn't eat my JC, but I didn't overdo it either. I felt good about what I ate, and the portion size. Yes, it was small, but I was full, NOT stuffed when I was done.....hey, maybe i'm learning something here!!!

ok...gotta go fight w/ DD about shower time......is it friday yet?

marie

 

[toystoryduo]

Marie,

My DD6 likes to challenge me every step of the way too so I understand what you are going through. I hope things calm down for you soon.

Great job on resisting the food at the office! You are doing such a wonderful job on JC.... Keep up the good work!

I'm glad to hear that the science fair project turned out well.

Keep on keeping on, Marie! Friday is just around the corner.

 

[kmp1191]
