I killed the thread.

LOL- you didn't kill the thread, although I did kill my eating habits today because my Shih Tzu puppy died this afternoon and I decided that I must eat CRAP in order to feel better.

Huh. Now, I wonder why THAT didn't work? Sigh. Anyways, the little fella somehow managed to tangle his chain up, I guess, and the kids put him outside without untangling the chain- so he choked himself to death. I was so mad, at first, but now I am just incredibly sad. I never keep dogs on chains, but he was getting through my fence which leads to the street on both sides, so I thought it would be safer to chain him outside. Stupid me. He was only out for about 10-15 minutes at that

Sigh again.

There, now I've officially killed the thread.

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

awwww.....I am sooo sorry. wish there was something I could do. poor little guy-or gal. How are they kids handeling it?

 

[DisneyAprilFool]

They're doing okay- he was my puppy. Very much my puppy. Sigh again.

Awww Pru -
I am SO sorry !! How terrible ! ((((BIG HUGS))) I am sure I wouldn't make the best eating choices either. I hope you are able to pick yourself up and try again this weekend !!
I need to go grocery shopping this weekend and will need to sit down tomorrow and make a list ! Lots of fresh fruit and veggies for this family next week.

Pru-Sorry about the dog. Its unfortunate when accidents happen like that.



I'm glad I didn't kill the thread. It was like 24 hours with no posts!

 

[DisneyAprilFool]

To top this weekend off- hahahaha- my 21 month old sprained his leg and I just spent the morning in the ER! What fun I'm having- NOT!

GRRRR!

 

[faindrops27]

Pru, I am so sorry about your puppy baby. Awww. It is so sad. I had a baby kitten. Who passed. So, I can feel your pain. I am very sorry

And your little baby sprained thier leg. You are really going through it. I hope things only get better for you, and your family from here on out.

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

Pru - You are having a very rough weekend! I hope it gets better. So sorry about the puppy! Take care of yourself!

I am back from my vacation and I think I managed to go back and read up on all that I missed. I'm sad that we aren't PMing our weight anymore I didn't for the last two weeks but that was due to my vacation. I was really looking forward to getting back on track and having that accountability. I am GOING to get back on track though!! I will just have to post my weigh ins directly on the thread

We had a very nice vacation and relaxed a lot. We went to the beach alot too which was good exercise. I ate VERY badly though!! We ate out almost everyday and then snacked badly also. It is over though. Tomorrow I am going to the grocery store and stocking up on HEALTHY foods!! I will make a major effort to cook healthy dishes and eat more fruits and veggies daily!! I also must get back to my exercising!! I have been very lax lately. We are less than 100 days away so I better get a MOVE on it!!!

K, I said it now you guys have to hold me to it!

Lets kick it back into gear ladies! We can do this!! We all stray sometimes, but we can get back on track!!

Should we do little weekly challenges? Something like how many days or minutes we will exercise this week... or how many fruit/veggies servings we will get per day for the week... or water intake challenge? There was a monthly one last year that did a new challenge each month. I did some of them and it was really helpful. What do you guys think?

We all have somewhere in the neighborhood of 14 weeks left before our trip! We can do this!! Think about it.. even a pound a week would be a nice 14 pounds GONE! That would mean loose pants at least! And room for stuffing our faces when we get there

Have a Great weekend everyone!!

 

[DisneyAprilFool]

Weekly challenge would be fun! But what do do?

 

[Glendamax]

Hello Ladies! I have a friend comming over soon, but I wanted to report that I walked for 45mins this morning around my neighborhood. Which is a big deal because its REALLY HILLY! And when I got back, I did 20 mins of Yoga!

I hope to keep this up all summer! OH! and I got a new swim cap for the swim class that starts on Monday! Did you know that they still make the old fashioned caps with the flowers on them! I cracked up when I saw them! I REALLY wanted to get one, but figured that only I would get the joke!

Well, I'm going to get ready for my company! Happy Saturday!

Ok, I searched back for some ideas from the past challenges I was talking about. They did them for a month at a time, so some of the ideas won't work as well, but I think they are all good. I'm gonna list them w/ a basic description. Let me know if you guys are interested. We could start on Monday and go Monday-Sunday. Would that work?
Here are the ideas:
1)Kitchen is Closed - not eating after a certain time
2)Operation Hydration - x ounces of water daily
3)Brown Bag it - taking a healthy lunch to work- or eating a healthy lunch at home
4)Color your Diet - X number of servings of fruits &/or Veggies a day
5)Recipe Swap - trying a new low calorie recipe X times this week & then share w/ the rest of us.... this could be an ongoing one and might be fun!
6)Portion Control - using a small salad plate for meals, or whatever method for controling portions you want to use
7)no mindless eating (eating at the desk, vegging out in front of the TV with a bag of Miniatures or chips...)
8)adding a little exercise...example: when commercials come on TV, do 20 jumping jacks and 5 push ups
9)Journaling - journaling diet and exercise Daily
10)trying a new type of exercise this week or several

Some have "titles" and other's didn't... If you want to come up w/ titles we can. We don't have to use all or any of those. They are just suggestions to get us started.

What do you guys think? If you want to do it, then say what your top choice is to start w/ and we will move forward w/ the top pick and then choose a new one each week.

I like these type challenges, cause sometimes we try to focus on too many things at one time and get overwhelmed. It can be helpful to take it one piece at a time to focus on till you get the hang of it.

Hello all, I'm back from Portland.. missed you all

Pru, I am such an animal lover.. I rescue everything I am sooo sorry about your puppy

 

[Msslaydbug]

Hi everyone -
I am up for a weekly or monthly challenge. I have done well today. Been eating right and drinking my water. I am on a roll !! Woohoo !

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

Where's everybody at? Usually I go to work and come back and have a page or two to read

Since not many people have posted, I'm not sure if there is much interest in the challenge or not yet.

We can discuss it over the week and start it on Friday if you guys want to do it. Then it will line up w/ our weigh in day. It will give us some time to discuss it further too.

I've done really well today! I had a good first day back at work since vacation.
Food wise - I had Kashi cereal for breakfast. I packed a really healthy, low cal lunch. Then I came home and had a yummy veggie loaded spaghetti w/ whole wheat pasta. My total calories for today are 1018! I usually struggle to get under 1200, but no problem today and I don't feel hungry!

Dh & I also walked for 2 miles tonight!


How's everybody else doing? Cmon' guys!! I know you can do it!!

Hi everyone,

I feel like I have been MIA for awhile now...sorry! So much to catch up on.....

We left for Alaska about 1 1/2 weeks ago. We drove from Oregon through British Columbia, Yukon & then to Alaska. Just got my internet hooked up today. I felt so lost without internet. It is so slow though, it is driving me crazy... I guess that is what I get for living in Rural Alaska. I'm going to be here for the summer, basically until we head to FL for the WDW trip. I got the job with the college that I applied for, it starts the end of September, but I'll be starting about 2 weeks later because of the trip.

In the process of driving up here for the summer & keeping super busy I have managed to lose 14 pounds! I'm so excited!!

Anyway, I'll try to take time tomorrow to read through everything & respond. I just wanted to quickly say hi & let you all know I've missed you.

Talk to you soon
Becky

 

[Glendamax]

Hey everybody! I would be interested in doing a challenge. Dont know how well I'd do though.

Today was my first swim lesson. It was a bit tough and scary, but I will go back. My first instinct was to drop it, but I'll go back . . .

Now I really have to make better food choices, and drink more water. Hopefully I can keep this up all summer - well, that is until I go to WDW in Sept! HA!

 

[keliblue]

Yahhhhhhh Becky is back we missed you girl

I am up for a challenge... bring it on

 

[Nanu57v]

Becky that's so awesome! Congrats! What college is it? I can't imagine going all the way from Alaska to Florida. How long does it take?
