I am not looking too bad for 40 something I'm going to think about it. My body seems to be pretty happy at this weight, and even though I probably still have a few pounds I could lose, I am just not sure if it is worth it.
I would agree you are one hot mama and look great at your maintain weight.

The 4th Annual Superhero Run in April.
that race sounds so cool. My dh would love that one. Great goal to work towards and I know even if you dont beat those boys they will still be impressed by how well you are going to do.
Something good that happened this week......the 3rd/4th grade class I teach Social Studies to has always been difficult and a challenge for me, but since I started a new incentive program with immediate points for good behavior things have improved dramatically. They are like a different class!
way to be creative and use positive reinforcement.
Have fun watching a movie with your little one. What did you watch?
We ended up watching american idol instead of a movie. It was very enjoyable cuddling up with him though. We dont get to do that too often anymore.
I recently found this and thought I would share:

Healthy Habits Week 4: The Voyage of the Little Mermaid
You are just too creative CC. I am loving your new HH ideas. I knew the fruit and veggie thing would be coming soon. Its my area of slacking so thanks for helping me to make these servings a priority. I am going to try my best.
My aunt passed away yesterday morning and if I'm honest I'm really glad for her as she would not have wanted to lose her independance (she suffered 3 strokes in as many days 2
. We will all miss her alot -she was a maiden aunt who spoiled all her neices, nephews and grand-nieces/nephews with gusto much to our parents dismay at times
(providing forbidden treats such as chewing-gum and sweeties before sunday dinner).
So sorry about your aunt's passing. I had the same feeling when my grammy passed away...even though it is sad to loose one of your cherished family members it is even harder to watch them go through suffering and loss of independence. I am glad you have wonderful memories to hold onto of her.
Question of the Day
Do you have a favorite Disney movie? Is there a special story behind it?
I dont really have one favorite. My childhood favorites were cinderella and 101 dalmations. I have grown to love the toy story movies since they are my kids favorites.
Dona- woohoo on staying 5 days at BLT.
Well, I apologize now to the team that I actually gained a pound this week It's tough because this week I really made extra efforts to work out and be more active. I expected a loss for sure. One thing I am still struggling with is logging all my food. I already used My Fitness Pal to log breakfast, so I'm determined to do better.
no apologies necessary. We all have weeks like this.
I'm down 2 pounds this week. That makes 8 in total. Only 42 more to get to my goal.
Great Job.
I'm TREATING myself to a day at the scrapping table. Laundry is pretty well caught up and beds are made.... so look out scrapping table, I'm on my way! I'll pop back on here after lunch to see how every one is doing!.............P
Have a wonderful day scrapping.
Not only did I manage to keep the two lbs I lost earlier in the week off, but I also now fit into something extra special to me...
No. It's not my grandmother's ring... But it is a ring!
.
wow pretty ring and what a great feeling of accomplishment for you. Love to hear your determination and confidence.
Oh dear! I have tons of catching up to do. It was a totally crazy couple of days and I forgot how much I was scheduled and so I just took a break from this thread for the 2 days.
Wow what a stressful week for you. I hope DS feels better soon. I can imagine how frustrating that is for him and you too. Great job on the good eating this week and for the loss.
Happy Friday!! For a four day week it went pretty slow! I have to rant for a minute [RANT AHEAD] I just received a notice from my Condo Association that we have to have our dryer vents cleaned out...ok, I get the safety concerns and fires BUT we just had a mandatory clean out November of 2009??? Now I have to take off a 1/2 day of work to wait for the guy to come and pay $50 to get it cleaned. In addition, we had to pay an extra $250 for the additional snow removal costs from last year AND they had just upped our COA dues by $60. The nickel and diming is driving me crazy!!! [RANT OVER] Thanks for the space to rant.
uggh that is so frustrating. I guess its one of the downfalls of being in an association. Friends of mine use to live in a development similar to yours and they were always complaining too about the increase and additions of all the fees.
[ Down 8.8 pounds since last friday I've done an hour on the treadmill almost everyday and adding some jogging segments in as able. I've done really well on my eating but I've had no challanges which is really strange. I even managed to eat out over the week at a burger place, Chipotle, and 2 slices of cheese pizza last night. I'm eating really well the rest of the time and my cravings have not been around - well I did have a tablespoon of Nutella one night as 'dessert' - but hey theres protein in there right
wow that is great. You have a great focus going right now. Keep up the good work.
I know you're wondering . . . did she walk??????
Yup!
Now, this was most certainly not the longest, fastest or most calorie burning walk in the world. But I managed a pretty steady pace for 14 minutes thru Lowe's last night. Well, the last two minutes I was looking for the door (I was somewhere by the toilets!!!) but I got up and moved. I'm hoping that I can gradually increase my time. Thanks again for all the encouragement.
And I lost 1.6 pounds this week!
great job Ruthie.
Busy weekend. Tomorrow I have to help run the concession stand at the wrestling quad meet. The meet starts at 9 am and runs until 4 pm. I miss my hockey days let me tell you - 1 hour in and out.
Sunday is the Patriots game, and I am having family over to watch it. I think I will make my Father's favorite - chicken pot pie - just watch my serving size. Maybe I will make some of the WW old 0 vegie soup. I will also plan on having a few cocktails - since I don't have to drive.
Janis
Have a fun weekend. Working the concession stand for more than an hour to me is touture.
Unless of course you have great company while doing so. I hope that you do and it makes the day fun for you. I am secretly cheering for the patriots for you and some other dis friends. The problem is I can chear out loud because my husband is a die hard eagles fan and we cant cheer for any other team in our house.
Unless of course if he has one of the players on his fantasy team then we can cheer for that player.
Hes a nut.
My favorite Disney movie is probably Mulan.
This week I lost 1.5 lbs!
Great loss amy.
Lost another 2.4 lbs this week
Wow great loss this week. I hope your injury feels better soon. woohoo for 3wks to disney.
Hi everyone!
After 4 days of eating pretty much anything that I wanted at
Disneyland I still lost 2 lbs!
That is too exciting. Good Job. How was your trip?
I finally had the opportunity to apply for a new job at the VA. Please send prayers and good thoughts my way as my current job ends on May 7 and I would like to be in a permanent position well before then. I also would like to get away from the stress that my current office is having. It's not the workload, but I cannot go into details. This particular job that I have applied for would have been my 1st choice of any job so I'm hoping that it is destiny.
I hope you get the job Deb. Pixie dust being sent your way.
Question of the Day
If you had a day just for yourself and you couldn't be at DW, what would you do?
Since I am in need of some rest....I would spend the day in PJ's watching chick flicks all day. and napping in between.
The last time I did that was at least 13 years ago.
The bad news is I didn't lose at all this week and I'm really frustrated about it. My mom is a pretty driving force in my life and she has the ability to really make me feel like dog poo sometimes.
Dont get frustrated. You will have a better week this week. Maybe try talking to your mom about how you are feeling. I hope it gets better for you. Its not a great feeling to give support to someone but then not to feel it in return.
**********************************************************
Ok Im all caught up now. I missed getting on here yesterday. It was a busy day at work. I was there from 730a-7p. Not fun at all. I was exhausted by the time I got home but I went to the gym and ran for 30 min. I felt like I was carrying a load of bricks on my back when running and it wasnt very enjoyable at all. I think I was just too exhausted from the day. Running at 9pm I think is not the ideal time for me but its when I can work it in.
I have tracked all my calories and exercise in my fitness pal this week and I drank tons of water. I did have a day or two that I ate an extra 100 or 200 calories. I had a loss of 1lb this week. On wed. I was down 2.2lbs but by friday I was only down 1. I did let this get me a bit frustrated but now I am realizing that this will sometimes happen. It has helped reading through all of your posts too.
So I am now just going to be thrilled that I lost at all and move on. Heres to an even better week. (insert smily face with a glass of water saying "cheers")
We got about 3 inches of snow over night and now zumba was cancelled today. I am disappointed. I will still do some kinect dance central 2 today. Ryans basketball game also was cancelled so it has been a lazy morning. The kids were out once already playing in the snow.
Tonight we are going to my in laws to celebrate my birthday. They are making wings. I asked for something healthier and my MIL said she has celery to go with it.
They just dont get it. So I have alloted calories to have 6 wings. I am afraid I am going to be a bit hungry by the end of the night. But what can I do??????? (feel free to offer advice on this one)
Ok well I hope you all are enjoying your day. Those of us that got snow have fun and be careful if you go out driving.
Best wishes to my fellow teammates for weigh-in today!!
Hang in there. Sorry for your poor little boy. That's so hard. My friend has her son who has his own issues and has to miss a lot of school. Just be there for him. Sometimes it's so hard to know what to say. You're afraid of pestering them when you want to 'talk' and then they get annoyed at you! ((hugs)) Keep up the good work!!
