I don't care either way.

Count me half in!

I'd love to do it the next time around.

But for this first 3 weeks I'm gonna be gone nearly 2 of those 3 weeks and will be in Disney when the challenge is up and off the internet for like 10 days!

So definitely would like the healthy competition, just bad timing for me!


Dawn for all that your dad is going through, and therefore you are going through. Miss you around here but totally understand. Hope you and fam have a great time at Burn Camp!!

Glad to hear Shann had her surgery and all went well! Sending her fat loss vibes!!

Tracking for yesterday:

Breakfast - 2 slices banana nut bread (leftover from the 4th, it's all gone now!) w 1 tbsp light canola butter
Lunch - Big salad with broccoli and carrots and purple cabbage and romaine and salad pizzazz cherry cranberry pecano (YUM!!! Love this stuff!!) and 2 tbsp balsamic dressing. 1 jello mousse cup
Dinner - 1 healthy choice meatloaf classic dinner with dessert

Total cals for the day
1355

Tuesday, July 6 DONE

It felt good to get back to tracking and to not feel so bloated and fat from eating so much. Even if the scale hasn't crept back up that much, I still feel FAT when I eat the way I shouldn't and skinny when I'm watching what I'm putting in my mouth. The mental part of this journey is HUGE for me. Pun intended.

I am going to post trackers today if it kills me. I'm gonna go ahead and write up everyone through yesterday so I'm ahead for next week's. It's not too late to post your tracking!!

Have a fabulous hump day everyone!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

I like the idea of the challenge too, but we will be on our Disney trip during the latter portion of it. So I will join in the next round.

Dawn- here's hoping all goes well for your dad, you have a good week at burn camp, and smooth recovery for Shann!

I've got a lovely cold going on with an equally lovely cough. Trying to eat my healthy stuff, work and get some extra sleep. Going camping this weekend with girl scouts and DD9. I'm packing fruits and veggies for myself!
Aimee - what are your Disney trip dates? It looks like we will just miss each other! I will be there 7/28 - 8/1 and go back probably for one day at the parks on 8/4 (that's not definite)

 

[Tricia1972]

Since there are two of you, maybe she can put the Disney vacationers together.

(I am just kidding, there is NO way I'd want to compete in Disney - I want to enjoy and not worry down there)

 

[Dizneydawn]

Umm...I am gone for 2 1/2 weeks of the challenge as well so suck it up soldiers!

Ok - so if you do not want to join in yet - totally ok - if you do want to join and are worried about being gone for the weekly tracking - do not worry about it - it is for the entire time so just weigh in when you got back.

If you want to say, "My tukkus is going to eat whatever it wants and to heck with the ramifications while gone" I get it as well.

I will be in a tent/camping on the ocean in SC - maybe I can sweat off the pounds to loose the smores calories!!!!

 

[Dizneydawn]

update - Free dining extended but has blackout dates.

Dan and I will be camping at WDW in October with no free dining and I just booked a trip in December at POFQ for 5 nights for our Holiday annual trip.

It was almost same price for 4 people at POFQ with free dining and 2 day base tickets for everyone than it was to stay at the campsite, pay OOP for reg dining plan and pay for the base tickets.

Roughly $1825 for Campground pkg and $1872 for POFQ.

Now I just need to decide if I want to go earlier a I found out Anderson get's out a week earlier than I thought!

Hi Everyone,

I have a lot of catching up to do. I have been offline since Thursday. Friday was just really busy and then on the weekend I just decided to have a no internet weekend.

I've been in a diet funk. I want to lose the weight, but I'm so DANG tired of watching every flipping thing that goes into my mouth and I wish I liked to exercise, but I have to admit I'm just a couch potato at heart. I know that losing weight isn't difficult, less calories in than out... I did try to watch it this weekend, but I didn't track and once again I had a gain this week (of course because I had a nice weight loss last week). I just need to get my motivation back. "Help me Skinny Island Group, you're my only hope "(channeling my inner Princess Leia).

I'll try and catch up later tonight and post my food log (tracking again today).

Jane

 

[gellybean]

Sheree- We fly in the 2nd but will be in the parks on the 4th if you end up coming back!!

Dawn- When are you going at Christmas?? Granted I know you may move it back some but what are the possible dates? We'll be there Dec 14-21!!


I wouldn't be able to weigh in for the challenge until a week after it's over. Not fair to my partner!! So I'll pass this round and just try to focus on me and my family on vacation!

 

[gellybean]

In the process of tabulating the trackers, I realized I had doubled a day and was off the schedule. I was posting Weds-Tues instead of Thurs-Weds. So to get us back on track, I'm skipping June 23rd. If that day made a difference for you to get to count your week as a tracked week (5 days of tracking), please please give yourself credit for that day and adjust your X# after your tracking picture!

From now on we'll be on Thursday - Wednesday weeks again.

As always, if these numbers don't look right to any of you, please let me know.

Way to go all you trackers!!!!

The next tracking week ends today!! We still have time!!

 

[2_Eagle_Mom]

Whew, Finally all caught up. I didn't take notes but I'm so proud of everyone that posted losses and I can sympathize with everyone that is struggling right now. I hope everyone's families are soon healthy. to everyone that has a family member in the hospital or recently out of the hospital.

Dawn - I love the challenge idea. Might just what I need to get back into the groove. Doesn't matter to me if you post the partners or IM them whichever works for you.

What are your dates for October? I'll be there Oct 2 - 11.

Doing well so far on tracking today and planning on hitting the Y tonight.

 

[Mndisneygirl]

I didn't write it all down today - so here's what I think I ate:
B: Mini bagel w/ PB, banana
Tea w/honey
L: Smartones quesadilla, grapes, red pepper slices
S: 2 Take 5 mini candy bars
D: Greek yogurt w/ 2 raspberries (that was all that was left!), craisins and grapenuts
4 bites of lemonade light vanilla ice cream
buttermilk ranch pretzel bites (didn't count!)

Kind of random eating tonight. No one made "dinner" so we all just ate what we wanted. I wasn't hungry until about 7. Not the best way to do it.

JULY 7 Done

I did go to the Y even though I forgot my socks again. Its really uncomfortable to do the eliptical without socks, but I didn't want to skip another day. Glad I muscled through the 30 minutes but I baled after that. At least there was some exercise today, just not enough.

[luvsJack]

Had church last night and dh came home unexpectedly so didn't get a chance to post my tracking until now:

Breakfast: biscuit with a little jelly, Fiber One Yogurt

Lunch: Lean Cuisine Steamers--Mushroom Pasta, watermelon

Snacks: Fiber One Bar, 100 calorie pack of almonds, Laughing Cow cheese wedge and 6 crackers

Supper: This gets a bit tricky. Since I have decided to join a Bible study group at church, we will be eating supper at church on Wednesday nights. So, I am not sure about the points. My plan is to eat just enough to be satisfied and not have dessert.

Last night we had: Hamburger Steak (like the size of a premade frozen hamburger patty), mashed potatoes, green beans and creamed corn. I ate 1/2 the hamburger steak, 1/2 the serving of potatos, the green beans and left the corn. Hopefully I cut enough from it to make it so that its not too awfully bad.

JULY 7 DONE!


Dawn: I think the challange sounds like a great idea!!!

Does running behind count as exercise?

I have been so busy, I do not know if I am coming or going! I did have a -3 for the week, which is nice because it fixed the +2 I had the week prior. I've been working very hard at the gym so I am hoping that is shows next Monday

I really like the Magnet Challenge, count me in!

 

[Duchie]

I'm in for the magnet challenge - it sounds like fun!

Dawn, your trips sound fun! We just booked our own trip for next February, but this time we're going out to California. The last time I was out there was when I was pregnant with my oldest, and he's 14 now. I told him that no, that does NOT count as him having gone to DL. We're using our DVC points to stay at GCV. I'm pretty excited about it.

 

[tlenzendorf]

I wish I had a sooner trip planned than October. And with Brent's ex that trip may not be possible either Basically she didn't take him off of a credit card they had when they were married. She let it lapse and then it got sent to collections and they would not take his name off then, even though the divorce decree said that is HER card to pay off. Now she is declaring bankruptcy and put that card in there so the creditor will more than likely come after him. FREAKING GREAT!! $3,600!! So he has to file contempt papers on her now which will be just great cause she is a royal biotch when things aren't HER way. Then more than likely he will be stuck with it and then he will have to sue her. Luckily since that will happen after bankruptcy she can't file again and will hopefully be forced to pay him back.

So what does this have to do with the WISH board? Guess what its doing to my diet!!

I am so close to being done with my class and having more time back here with you all I can almost taste it! I think the magnet challenge will kick me in the hind end to get back to dieting!

 

[Tricia1972]

Oh my God Tricia, that's just horrible! I'd be stress eating big time for sure. Sounds like she's a big witch even when things are going her way. I can't believe that she did that to him!!!!

for you (I can't post the smiley that is for her!)
