HAPPY HAPPY FRIDAY

Finished a great walk with Erin(lulu) 3.8 miles, thanks for the wonderful start to my day Will plan to eat op today, maybe take another walk, abs & stretching.

Thanks for checking in girls

Ate op all day and walked another 1.2 miles, did abs & stretching. I'm done for the day yeah

 

[lulu201]

Hey, MeMe! What do you say--Friday a.m., same time and place but longer walk? Let me know. . .

Erin

Erin I sent you a pm. would love to walk again!

yesterday walked 1.9 what happend to another .1 had a little struggle eating. well not struggle just wanted to eat some carbs had a cheesburger while at a fleamarket and ate the roll & 2 homemade cho chip cookies, yummy then for dinner made a salad & wanted to have briannas raspberry dressing, not too mych but full of sugar, delicious

I've decided to eliminate the cheat free bear I'm sure someone new wil use him I feel that I'm eating pretty well most of the time and the exercising is also going very well, I jsut need that scale to move I'm visiting dm and she says her scale is right, she weighs in at ww weekly so I'll we'll see. I've always thought my scale was crazy

Received a compliment yesrterday, wahoo from dmil, double wahoo if you know what I mean!she noticed I was losing weight. Then decided to buy new dress for formal nite on cruise, not a gown but something nice. Everyone is wearing black so I pick a purple one(fav color) and it's very sexy(according to dh) but also beautiful. Best part the size is an 8 What an 8? well I know I'm not a size 8 cause my shorts/pants that are 10s still do not fit. but that number made me feel great! numbers numbers addicted to numbers

Will be trying on other clothes today to see what else fits, maybe some of those shorts, keeping fingers crossed

 

[lulu201]

Ahhh, I love it when those numbers are single digit! Not that I ever get to see one. . . And a compliment from dmil to boot! What a red letter day!

Enjoy this beautiful weather, Maryellen!

MOnday and I'm op but really want to have chocolate I'll need to eat dinner soon or else I may just give in...

I walked 2 miles with dm yesterday and 3 miles today. We are having gorgeous weather and walking has been so delicious - I must be hungry

My scale is not moving, however dm's scale says I lost 1 lb. DM swears her scale is right due to her weigh ins at ww. Moms are always right, right I'm surprised my scale isn't moving, I'm doing so well with exercising and eatting. It can be soooo discouraging. and my measurements are still the same. Clothes do fit better, which is good. I can zip & snap shorts that are on top of the skinny shorts pile, though I won't be wearing them out because I don't even like them anymore So the next pair of shorts in the pile, I do like this pair, better fit next week.

yep mom's always right

you are doing wonderful

July

 

[lulu201]

MeMe, OF COURSE your mother's scale is right! How can you even question such a thing?! Just keep on keeping 'on--feeling the good fit of your clothes and being proud of your accomplishments and don't let the dumb number make you frustrated. It'll all happen as long as you're walking the walk!


Have a good Tuesday,
Erin

 

[DoeWDW]

MeMe, I'm sure your Mom's scale is right! Those shorts will be fitting soon!! Only 2 weeks and you can sail away from all your worries! I bet you'll look stunning in that purple size 8 dress!! We want pictures!!

Hope you and Erin have nice weather for a walk tomorrow!!

 

[Auntmeme]

Thanks Doreen! so nice to hear from you

Yseterday we went to the zoo so we walked but it weas casual. I hit dm tm and did 4.25 miles. I was exhausted last night, yawning at 9pm Too tired to do abs.

Today I ate OP. Had lunch at ruby tuesday. the lc broccoli soup is fantastic however it does have 12 gms and then with the salad this to me is not that low carb but better than wed when I ate french fries.

I walked 3.6 miles today, did some upper body and will do double abs soon. Gotta go put chicken on the grill.

Need sunshine for tomorrow

 

[lulu201]

Hey, MeMe! We did it! I'm glad we got out there and did our thing!

I figure our pace was about a 17.5 minute mile--not too bad considering you're pushing a stroller uphill sometimes, and I had to stop to look at that squirrel. I'd like to go next week, so I'll check and get back to you, OK?

Enjoy the rest of your day and give that adorable DS a little hug from me!

TGIF

It's turned out to be a great day so far! Thanks for the walk Erin We walked 5.72 yippie all I have left is stretching & abs. The scale still has not moved I've become obsessed and I hate it! So I will not get on the scale until 2 days before we leave on vacation, that is the plan! I am moving the scale to where I can not seeit, maybe I'll forget where it is

I will be trying on my small(er) shorts and this is how I will know I'm doing well. I feel great and that is what counts the most

Ate eggs & lc toast with coffee for breakfast and plan to stay on plan for the day.

 

[Auntmeme]

Wow I've missed sooo many days I did not stick to eating plan this weekend, just felt like I had to have certain foods. Why is it that the really delicious foods are the ones that are bad for our bodies? shouldn't it be the other way around?????

I have yet to step on a scale which is torture I have been exercising
Sat 20 min jump roping - if you haven't jumped in awhile this is a killer for legs - exhausted
sun - walked around town with dm, forgot pedometer but walked lasted over an hour close to two, not fast but still exercise. Visited my ancestors' church & cemetery, I now know where my great grandmother is buried got some great genealogy info.
mon - tm for 2.25

Today I feel tired I want to go walk, it is a beautiful day but I feel sooooo sleepy. We'll see what the rest of the day brings.

 

[Auntmeme]

Well never went for that walk. DILs took us out for italian had some spaj & bread so def not lc
Felt much better yesterday and it was soooo beautiful was going to do a quick walk around neighborhood but the sunshine convinced me to walk over to the park Total of 5 miles also stretched & ab work. Also ate op.

Today will be hard to stay op as we have dinner at dils and that always includes carbs. I think the only side dishes they know how to make are high carb

I'm off today to have another lasik procedure as the first one 3 mon ago was not enough. I am a tad apprehensive but need to do it or I'll need to get glasses again not sure I'll have time to walk we'll see.

 

[nancyj_pa]

Hi Maryellen,
I hope your procedure went well. Not wearing glasses will be great. I wish I could get rid of mine. I wore contacts for may years, but when I needed bifocals (am I really that old?) I switched back to glasses.

You really are doing a lot of walking in the park. It is pretty this time of year.

Well, only a week until your vacation! I am so jealous. Maybe we'll get to go next year if no babies are on the way. I know you'll have a wonderful, relaxing time and look great as well.

Nancy

 

[Auntmeme]

HI nancy hope all is good with you!

Had a good weekend but not food wise Sat was completely off plan however I did 3 miles on tm so hopefully that wiped my plate clean

The eye surgery through me off with my walking schedule ( and I did not enjoy the second time either and hope this is the last time!). My parent's church had a flea market on sat so I went there with df and we made a couple of bucks but more important I got rid of a lots

today eat op and walk Only 4 days till we fly out for orlando - need to start completing the to-do list

 

[Auntmeme]

Last night has pasta & garlic bread so much for lc. Very busy with gettin gready to leave and ds came down with his first ear infection so had to make a run to MD & drug store put me way behind schedule All will work out but I've not had time to exercise & since it's been raining more like pouring bucket, I can't walk and I don't feelup to any thing else

Maybe today I can get in something, looks like an overcast maybe raininy day so we'll see. Where is my sun

 

[lulu201]

Ahh, geez: I think that you I missed you! Bon Voyage, MeMe! I hope you have a wonderful, magical time on your cruise. I'll be thinking of you--in a very jealous way, of course, but I'll be thinking of you.

Erin

 

[lulu201]

Hi, MeMe! How was your trip? I read on the cruise board that your weather was great and that it was looking like you'd get to Castaway Cay. Wow! It sounds like it was wonderful; I can't wait to get a COMPLETE trip report when we walk together soon.

Try to ease back into reality in a gentle way. . .
Erin

 

[Auntmeme]

Back from a wonderful fantastic awesome vacation! Trying to ease back into the reality of not eating so much

Surprise I did walk 3x. 2.25, 3.25 & 4.25 - plus all the x-tra walking up & down the stairs I'm sure I gained a few pounds but I don't want to know I'll weigh in next week.

I'm still unpacking, doing laundry & trying to get the house back in order. Need to hit the grocery store.

Hi Erin I will see you on Friday for a nice walk if it does not rain.

 

[lulu201]

"Wonderful, fantastic, awesome vacation"---Sigh. Glad it was great--I'll be eager for the details on Friday.

Take care,
Erin
