Hey BB! Are you still doing the C25K?

Also, September may be out for me as well. My mother was going to babysit Bella that weekend but her job has just changed her hours so she will be working weekends until January. :banghead: It doesn't look I am going to have much of a life for about 6 months. Grrr!

That totally sucks about September. Maybe Claudia and I can just hang out with you and Bella at your place if that sounds good to ya. Maybe Claudia can bring La Nina to play with Bella. :)

I stopped doing C25K b/c of the big walk, and then the ensuing blisters..lol. Now my excuse is just laziness..:p I think I'll start up again next week. Probably should do week one over again since it's been 3 weeks.

That sounds just fine and dandy to me. Lol! I'd love for Bella to meet Claud's little angel. They're only 3-4 months apart in age.

I'd definitely try week one over again. If I miss a week or two, I feel it big time when I run again. After the first couple runs back into the program, you'll be back to where you were though.

I missed running all last week since Sean was out of town and Bella has started going to bed a little earlier. I've been home sick this week with a stomach bug (or food poisoning) from HELL so tonight will be my first run in almost 2 weeks. Ouch!
 
Hey BB :). Well where do I start?! I think 38 lbs is pretty damn fantabulous, considering that most Americans GAIN several pounds per year. But its also great that you're planning to kick it up a notch.

That is a good idea about visiting Amy, though I may be doing a cruise in August or September, I'm going to look into the dates shortly. I know my baby would have a blast visiting them, she's having so much fun playing with her cousin here at my sister's house.
 
I say great job on the 38lbs in a year. I've lost about the same in that exact amount of time and I know this time it ain't coming back! ;) Think of all the new healthy habits you have built and are still building, and the fact that your a helluva lot more accountable with your food and exercise than you were before you began this journey, right? I'm definitely on board with you for making the weight loss thing more of a daily basis type of deal. I do the 3-4 sometimes 5 days per week thing very well ;) and know exactly what your talking about. To get to where I want to I need to be strict with myself all around. We can do it!

I got to Week 8 in the C25K and got pretty sick and kind of faltered from there. Not getting to the gym on a regular enough basis has killed me a little bit too. I'm planning on starting it back up but I will probably need a couple of weeks of the interval training to get me back up to 100%, especially at the speeds I was at before. I say start with the first week if you need to. You'll get motivated to keep doing it again, I promise :)

Happy belated TLD!!! :sifone:

Also, that Dinner Party episode was so good, you have to see it when you can. I love how the show is filmed, with the little confessionals and all, and I love when the characters give the crazy looks directly into the camera. The "Did I Stutter" episode was pretty funny too. That show just has so much awkward energy in it, and it works so well. Also, the fact that I work in an office like setting most days with some seriously goofy and eccentric people makes me appreciate it more. The best part is the fact that I work with my dad (when I work my normal shift during the week) and we seriously just sit around and make each other laugh and talk shit all day:D

Well, I did really well with the eating today--mainly b/c I had to go present an offer tonight, and didn't get home to eat dinner until almost 10pm..lol.

Hopefully Scalentino will reward me once again..lol

Amy--Well maybe we should plan on a pow wow at your place then. Although I would love for you guys to see Lake Michigan. It really is gorgeous, and the little ones could have fun at the beach. :)

I guess I will definitely do week 1 of C25K over again. :ack2: I might wait until we get back from London, though, as I doubt I'll be running there (I'll be walking tons though), and would just have to start over again when I got back.

Claudia--Thanks for the congrats. :) We can always work around your cruise--just let us know when it is.

Brandy--38lbs isn't bad--but it could've been a lot better. I had hoped to be at goal long before now, so that is disappointing. I have only myself to blame, though. :)

Sam--It is very true that the 38lbs aren't coming back. There is no way I'll ever let myself gain it all back. I guess the one good thing about my losing so slowly is that I have maintenance all figured out..lmao. So that is one thing I don't have to worry about. I also think losing it so slowly may mean I am far less likely to gain it back. So I guess that goes for you as well. :)

I will have to watch those episodes. Hopefully they'll rerun them over the summer. My office is full of some quirky people, too--but none as hilarious as that crew!! :rofl: I think that's great that you and your dad get to work together and have a great time. :biggrinjester:

Happy Friday, I hope. :)

Harumph! I wish. My parents have been down with a nasty head cold/cough the last few days, and my mom has been wheezing the last few days. Last night Dad and I both told her that if it wasn't better this morning, she had better call her doc. It wasn't, so she did, and they told her to go the ER--not to the doc's office. So I took her in this morning where they gave her two breathing treatments and put her on oxygen. This stopped the wheezing. They took a chest x-ray to make sure she didn't have pneumonia (they were certain she did). But she didn't. They said that they would take her off the oxygen, and if the wheezing didn't come back, they'd send her home. Well, the wheezing came back so now they are keeping her overnight to run more tests to find out what's wrong. They think she has something wrong with her lungs, but don't know what. So, I'm pretty scared--fearing the worst. She has never been a smoker, so hopefully it's not lung cancer. However, I know that non-smokers can get it anyway--her brother and my great-grandma did. Also, her heart rate went up suddenly while she was at the hospital, and they had to give her medicine to try and get that back down. Dad said she's had a cardiologist visit b/c they think there could be something with her heart. Well, considering her weight and all her weight-related problems (pretty much you name it, she has it), I wouldn't be surprised if she did have heart trouble. Lugging around all that weight has got to put tremendous strain on her heart. :(

Also, trying to work out an agreement between my sellers and some buyers for their house--and I am not so sure I'll be able to. So that is adding to my stress.

Annoyed at my weight today--same as yesterday, giving me a 1lb gain for the challenge this week. Well, if I'm out, I'm out. *shrugs shoulders* It's just annoying b/c I was so good yesterday. I did weigh in about 2-3hrs earlier than normal, and I ate dinner several hours later than usual last night so I'm sure that explains it. :rolleyes:

Brandy, Paul, Margaret and Stacy--Weight sucks as does the day. But thanks for caring. :) :grouphug:
 
So sorry to hear about your mom being ill. That is scary. She is in my thoughts and I hope everything is alright and it's nothing really bad.

Sorry about the shitty day.

:beerchug: here is to a better weekend.

Take Care,
Sam
 
Steve and Sam--Thanks guys. I'm doing better now as I'm home and more relaxed--well, as relaxed as I can be while watching the Pistons in a do or die game against the Celtics..lol.

Mom said she was feeling pretty good when Dad left the hospital a few hrs ago. Hopefully it is nothing major. She had scrapped the diet thing after just a few days it seemed. :( I'm hoping maybe all of this will get her to really take weight loss seriously.

My calories were good again today--1,502. Haven't exercised yet. I'm trying to talk myself into getting on my bike during the 4th quarter. :biggrinjester:

I managed to get my ass on the bike. :biggrinjester: Also did well with the calories--despite an strong urge to buy some ice cream while grocery shopping tonight. :blush5: I'm hoping once again to see a lower number on the scale tomorrow--although dinner was kinda late tonight again.

I'm totally pissed that the Pistons lost tonight. They are now out of the playoffs. :cuss: Hopefully the Red Wings don't blow their lead in the Stanley Cup Finals. I suspect they will win. ;)
 
Kimmy honey, I'm so sorry you're having such a bad week. Hugs for you, sweetie...(((((BIG HUGS)))) (just incase they make you feel better).

I, too, hope that your mom takes weight loss seriously after this hospital rendevous. If having a scare as she did doesn't convince her, I don't know what will unfortunately. It took a doctor's visit to finally get me motivated into dropping the lbs. So I do know how it is.

Don't worry about the weight gain, chica. These things happen. As you well know, we go up and down, up and down and will continue to do so all of our lives. Our main focus here, is that NO MATTER WHAT we simply never give up. It's a personal hell, yes, but it's one we have to strive through in order to better our lives. All we have to do is have a positive mindset of 'I can do this. I've gotten this far. I can't lose hope now'. You're already here, I know, but I thought a little encouragement wouldn't hurt.

Much love to you, honey. I hope next week is alot better for you. (((hugs)))

You are doing waaaaay better than I am with your resolve of steel. I caved the other night and got some scream at the store. The only thing is that it tasted like crap! :puke: No worries I guess of my eating anymore of it! LOL

Sorry to hear that your team got knocked outta the play-offs. Back in the day when I didn't have to work weekends I use to be into all the sports. But now that I can't watch the games regularly I don't get into them as much.
