Need all the support I can get!

Aaaaahhhhh!!!

Did my Ripped video this am and will walk this afternoon. Still feeling the affects of that TOM, but plugging through.
Okay...I am now freaking out a little. My husband has finally received the call to go to China to work. He will be leaving on the 23rd of this month! That leaves 2 weeks to say goodbye and finish some things aroung the house. A whole year! I am freaking out a little more than I thought I would. One exciting thing is I have to start planning my trips to Europe...!!!!

Although I did not finish my diary yesterday...I ate about 1225 cals for the day. Things only got crazier as the day went on. My husband is now leaving on the 16th. That is 1 week from today! One week to get our act together and then say Goodbye! My head has been spinning with the things that need to be done before he takes off. We are having a huge going away party on the 14th for him.....well, I will do my best in the next few days to at least get on and list my cals and exercise and post in others diarys.
 
OMG, he's going to be gone for a whole year....and he leaves in a week?? Bless your heart......I know that's going to be hard to say goodbye. Don't you even worry about posting here...you've got a million things to do and you need to concentrate on your family. We totally understand. There will be plenty of time to catch up with everyone after he leaves.

I'll be sending you good vibes this week so that everything goes as smoothly as possible. Hugs to you!!!
 
Okay ran 2.5 miles and the walked 1 mile (pushing the gals in a stroller!).

Oh Spelin,
I don't know how you are doing it all! Your excercise routine is so inspiring, and with two little ones AND your husband leaving for a year!?!

Many hugs to you, this sounds like such a hectic time!
 
Okay guys...We are making a family trip out to Boston until Sunday...LOVE LOVE LOVE the New England Aquarium! So I will not post until then. We have a big bash planned as a going away party for my hubbie on Monday and he flies out on Wednesday! *taking a deep breath* Thanks for posting M2M and Scarlet!! You comments mean so much!
 
oooo you're going to a big aquarium I'm so jelous.

I remember an aquarium in the US took in a great white shark recently and as I was reading about it on a forum I was a bit sad to see the animals condition had deteriorated since it was brought into captivity. Me being me I wrote an angry email to the aquarium only to read further down the thread and find they'd released it.:eek:
 
I'm Back. You all would be proud of me as I worked out at the gym at the hotel! We also figured we walked 8 miles on Friday, 6 miles on Saturday and about 4 yesterday. Crazy! We had a great time....did the aquarium, salem along with a ferry ride, science museum, harvard museum of natural history, Quincy Market, Plymouth rock, mayflower 2 and the plymouth plantation, and some outlet shopping! Eating was pretty good with my calories staying at or below about 1400.
So today will be another crazy day and I did not work out today :mad: , but I am really tired and have so much to do...I promise tomorrow I will be out the door and running in the am. Well, I am off to dry my hair and then to the store to get the rest of the supplies for the party tonite. Will post later!
 
Oh Spelin, it sounds like an incredible trip!!! And the walking!?! Geesh woman, you never slow down, do you? ;)

Remember to take time to breath!
 
Wow, you even worked out at the hotel!!! Now that is devotion right there my friend!!! Your trip sounds awesome...fun and action packed. And you stayed within your calories. Girl, you are doing great!!! So proud of you!
 
Hey Spell! I feel like such a lump reading your diary. You are doing so well with your exercise. It is hillarious that you think 1780 calories is something to confess and really bad. Just think what you used to eat. I bad day might be over 4000 calories before, right? You are so inspirational. Sorry you have to say goodbye to your husband for so long. Good Luck to him and I hope he has a safe trip. Take care.
 
HI everyone! Well my husband flew out on Wednesday. So today was the first day that was fairly normal. I worked out this AM 40 minutes. Ate okay about 1415. I am barely lucid as I write this...it has been a long day and I have been trying to catch up on diaries and on all the house work that has gone to the wayside this past week. I just finished making beds at 10pm! Okay...so I will write more tomorrow! Thanks all for visiting!
 
My goodness...I just read your entire journal! 11 pages, yikes!

You're such a fantastic inspiration! I hope things have gotten a little calmer for you now:) And look on the bright side, trip to Europe:D:D

Keep up the great work:)
 
Today was okay. Kept my cals 1410 again. Worked out for 53 minutes...step aerobics with Gin Miller. She can be tough:p ! Am still too nervous to step on the scales....I have actuallly had 4 people in the last week mention that I looked great and "you've lost weight haven't you?" Even with that I am still afraid to step on the scales....It would kill me to see that I have either stayed the same or only lost like a pound. I will get brave enough eventually.....
 
OK, I need a nap after reading your diary again. You are an exercise demon. You are going to reach your goal in no time at all. I should read your diary and watch the video of that 700lb man every morning to stay motivated.

Hope you are having a good weekend.
 
Pineola, I feel like if I can do nothing else right for myself all day..getting up and working out is at least one thing I accomplish as early as possible!
Today I ate 1158 in cals and ran on the treadmill for 40 minutes...YUCK! Unfortunatley I can't just get out the door to run without my hubbie home now:( . My parents will watch them for my runs, but sometimes I just want to get it done before they even wake up. I wish I could have run longer but....I get SOOOOOO bored. Even watching TV. My goal was to lift weights after, but all I got in was a few sit ups and my littlest was awake and wanting to eat breakfast...no screaming to eat breakfast:eek: !
Tomorrow maybe I can actually get outside to do it! Hope everyone is well!
 
dont give up, even when you feel yourself wavering. you are going soo well!
every time ive given up on a diet and exercise ill see something like biggest loser on tv or something and think 'man if i hadnt given up then i would be slim now'. So now whenever i think of quitting i think 'i dont want to be watching tv and thinking "if only .." in a couple months' and keep at it.
Inspiration and motivation doesnt come to you - you need to go find it.

You're very lucky people are noticing your weight loss now lol. Ive lost over 50lb and people are only just starting to notice now lol. (just goes to show how fat i was eh haha)
 
Spel, you are doing great. with kids around it is hard to find time, gettin it in when you can is sometimes the best you can do. and like you said even if it is the only thing you do at least it is one positive thing that you have done, i know i have had days where i did nothing to improve my health and i wish i would have at least done 30min of exercise on thoes days, my life would be very diffrent if i had instead of blowing it off. I hope i never do it again. thanks for being a insperation and keep up the good work, you are worth it!!!:D
 
Don't give up! I know, it is hard with little kids. Today, I tried to do an exercise video with my 4 year old. She wanted to do it with me. I gave up after 10 minutes, because she kept jumping right behind me, and I almost fell on her:rolleyes: But I keep trying!
 
I have to say I got a little teary reading all of your posts..wishes, star and queen! It's so nice to have people around who understand! I miss my husband being here to cheer me on and making sure I go out for runs while he watched the girls. Like wishes said...I also don't want to look back and think "if I had only stuck with it I would be skinnier now". So I will keep working away at this and most importantly I will have all of your support! Thanks again everyone!
