I'M DOWN 3#'S!!!
​

ok..i'm better now...just had to get it out of my system.

sis#1 +2 - 180 - says she's starting back on South Beach...
sis#2 +.5 - 183.5 - still not bad considering she was eating chocolate kisses when she e-mailed me!!
sis#3 -3 162 (can you imagine what i'll be like WHEN i get to my goal!?)

Like I said, yesterday was a very busy day. water intake was good, food intake was...ok I guess.

b-banana
l-slice of ham,roll,2 sweet potato slices,sweet tea
d-none - got home too late and was exhausted.
water intake- 70 oz
green tea - 12 oz (not bad stuff)
resisted - french fries, coke, eating at 10pm
exercise-hauling 40-60 pound equipment, ladder climbing, (not that these are really exercises, but I do work up a sweat!)

today is busy too-another photoshoot from 4:30 til about 9pm (after I leave the full time job!) so no running tonight.

ok...gotta get to work before I get fired!!
later taters!

WOW! You ran a mile & a quarter! Way to go! I am very inspired! I have been only half way working on my jogging routine. I really want Dh to commit to doing the 1/2 marathon w/ me next year, but he's not quite feeling that inspired I know that I can do it on my own, but I just think it would be easier to stay on track if he did it w/ me. I am going to try to convince him of a 5k to start with. I think it is wonderful that you are able to run w/ your Dh! It is really nice to have that time together.

Food is always such a challenge! It is hard enough to be good when you are picking what foods are in front of you but when friends and coworkers put those bad choices in front of you it is Really hard. I have always struggled with chocolate too. Lately I haven't been having as much and I don't really miss it. But when people offer it I lose all willpower and eat some. I think it is just important that we realize that the junk food doesn't help us to get to our goals. It is ok to slip up here and there, but we have to get back up and get back on track.

Have a Great day!

GOOD MORNING!!
I just got done with the biggest loser sculpt and stretch workout! (20 min workout, 20 minute stretch cool down)wow....felt pretty darn good!!

Yesterday was ok....until last night...

b-1 biscuit w/ butter
s- nothing
l-carrots and cucumber w/ light ranch dressing
s-4 whoppers
d-corndog & fries w/ small coke (I was at a photoshoot and my boss went and got us something to eat....and I was hungry!) I'm not really too upset about it because I only ate about 5 of the fries and about 1/2 of the corndog....it was cold and I wasn't really able to stop to sit down and eat. I didn't get home until 9:30, so I was glad I had something early.
water intake - 64 oz
resisted-having 2 cokes
exercise - only if you count hauling the equipment again...(it really is a workout!)

I'm looking forward to running again tonight.... how crazy is that?!
later,
marie

Congrats on the 3 pound loss! That's awesome!

You are doing so great with your exercise, and I see you're getting some fruits & veggies in there!!

Keep it up girlie...you're gonna blow your sisters away!

 

[lovinaz]

Great job on that loss! All your hard work and dedication is paying off!

 

[kmp1191]

Thanks Kim & Amy!! It was really funny (to me anyway)..yesterday after I weighed and saw the loss, I did a little dance!! Now this morning, I talk to sis#2 and she's all depressed because she's not losing like she thought she would. I said, are you working out, she says no. I said are you cutting back on the calories and she says no. I said, then why are you complaining, it's your own fault. She got all snotty and said, why do you care anyway! I said," because your crappy attitude affects everyone, especially you and I"m sick of it! Now get off your butt, go downstairs and get on the frigging treadmill!" then I hung up. She aggrivates me so much!! She is so pretty, but doesn't see it because she is at her heaviest.
I'm grateful that I have you guys to cheer me on because it's really hard to cheer on a negative person, that wants to give up so easily. I'm not going to let her though...I'm sending her a workout dvd and a "happy" card, and I'm going to tell sis#1 how she's acting.
ok...I gotta get to work before I get fired.....(and that would be a bad thing, right?)


later

THAT IS SO COOL!!! THAT REALLY MADE MY DAY!!! AN EALY BIRTHDAY PRESENT TO ME!!!

wow....i'm sitting here with this really stupid grin on my face now!!!

thanks tag fairy!!

 

[lovinaz]

Just think of all that extra time you'd have to exercise if you got fired!

I agree with you regarding your sister. It is really hard to deal with someone who is so negative all the time. And sadly, the only person who can turn it around is her. Why don't you have her join the WISH boards? Maybe that would help.

She wouldn't join the WISH boards....
1) she has dial up connection and she only checks her e-mail when I call her and tell her too.
2) she would be really p/o'd knowing that I've posted her weight on here
3) she doesn't like me trying to encourage her, so this would really tick her off. she is a different "breed". she doesn't like to be the center of attention or people fussing over her. (she told me that she HATED her wedding and couldn't wait for it to be over....just too much attention)

Oh, I asked her how often she weighed and she said everyday!! I said you can't weigh everyday and that's why she's getting down on herself. that's when she got all pissy with me. (can we use that word on here?) oh well, she'll snap out of it.


(did you see my tag....how cool is that!!)

 

[lovinaz]

I am an obsessive weigher too. I not only weigh myself in the morning, but when I get home from work and before I go to bed. I know, it's pathetic... I actually went a whole week without weighing myself and when my weekly weigh-in came (and I was the same weight) I about picked up that scale and smashed it to pieces on the toilet... So I "count" my weight every Wednesday, but I like to know where I stand on a daily basis...

I don't know what to tell you about your sis. I don't have a sister, so I don't know how that bond works, but I'm sure it kills you to see her have such a negative outlook! I hope she is able to see that she CAN make a change if she really puts her mind to it. Here is some for her, whether she likes it or not!

 

[kmp1191]

Here is some for her, whether she likes it or not!

I second that!!

(she's gonna be in a good mood if it kills me!!)

 

[kmp1191]

just thought I'd throw that out there! I got 2 cards this morning...funny one from the kids and a beautiful one from the hubby. Made me tear up!
He's cleaning up the kitchen as I'm sitting here typing instead of getting ready for work....he's a definate keeper!! I told him not to get me anything because we are putting ceramic tile in the bathrooms and down the hall....that's enough of a gift for me!!

ok....i'll update my stuff when I get to work...I really have to go now!!

[kmp1191]

ok...yesterday wasn't to bad at all!

b-biscuit w/ honey butter & a banana
s-2 whoppers (just can't kick the habit! )
l-5 triscuts w/ tuna & tomato (pretty good and filling )
s-banana
d-grilled spicy chicken salad (yumm!)
water intake-64 oz (i need to try to get at least 90 in!)
exercise-did 40 minutes w/ Bob Harper in the morning (BL) and 30 minute run/walk in the evening. didn't do as good on the run as I had hoped...
resisted - more whoppers-(actually, they are gone now so I should be ok for a while...I hope!)

Man, today I'm tired!! It's like I can't get woke up all the way! my eyes keep wanting to slam shut!! (need a yawning smilie) alarm went off at 5:40 and I shut it off...I figured it was my b-day and I could sleep in. Well, then dad calls at 6:05-(it's tradition) and then I'm up!(something about your dad singing Happy Birthday at the top of his lungs is bound to get you moving!!)

Anyway, nothing exciting here...just trying to stay motivated at work (the girls got me balloons and a pot of Irish Shamrocks...pretty neat!)

later taters!! have a great day!

Happy Birthday!

Congratulations on the 3# loss! You must have posted that while I was typing last time cause I didn't even see it til now.

Hope all that pixie dust is helping your sister! Here is some more for good measure My sister has been slacking lately, but at least we don't have any negativity yet. I do know someone who is just negative in general and I dread talking to her cause she never has anything positive to say and it is SUCH a downer! Try not to let it get you down

Keep up the Good work on your eating and exercising! Have a Great Birthday!!

 

[kimwim8]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Enjoy your day!!

 

[kmp1191]

Thanks Girls!! 'preciate it!!

 

[kmp1191]

I'm in a weird mood this afternoon....
It's my b-day, and I should be happy, I'm just not. I'm in a funk.
I know I need to go running tonight, but would rather just sit on the couch and eat.
What's the deal here? 37 shouldn't be this depressing....it wasn't earlier today....why am I in this funk now?
oh well....I will run when I get home, whether I want to or not. Hubby said it's supposed to rain tomorrow, so we'll probably have to skip it.
I'll be better....just having a little blah's fit right now.

 

[lovinaz]

Happy Birthday!!! Here is some calorie-free cake for you

I hope you get out of your funk soon! I'm glad those Whoppers are gone. DON'T BUY ANY MORE!!!!!!!! That's an order!

I will tell you that I just downloaded all the pix off my digital camera to have a nice, blank card for all my cruise pictures! There - now you can stop feeling blah and start being mad at me for making you jealous...

 

[kmp1191]

I have the world's best hubby!! I came home from work and there was 24 white w/ pink tip roses on the table!! He got me a new cell phone....a pink Motorola Razr phone!! SO COOL!! Also, he went and got me a BAskin Robins ice cream cake (oreo ) and he invited the neighbors over! Neighbors got me some really cool jewelry....necklace and earrings!

Today was a TOTAL BUST on the diet!! Between the blahs and the cake....there was NO self control!! and ya know what...that's ok!! it's my birthday!!

s-2 crackers w/ cheese spread stuff (some kind of cheese ball one of the girls brought)
l-mexican rollup thingy...(not very good) and a coke...
s-1/2 glazed donut
