SOS...I am sinking the boat!!!

Hey Karebare, I think it's awesome that you're doing a team challenge. Sounds like you have alot going on right now though so don't let yourself get too overwhelmed with it or frustrated. I'd hate to see you put too much pressure on yourself and be gone again when we just got you back. You're doin a great job so remember that! And again I'm so happy you're back :D
 
thanks lisa..i know what you mean..i dont want to lose my "pink cloud" affect here..but I need to do this not only for myself but to motivate my hubby somehow. I dont know if I have mentioned but he is very overweight...and I love him dearly and think he is so handsome, but I worry about him. And my dtr too. she weighs about the same as me...she has always been on the chunky side but now that she doesnt get her exercise from softball she will really need to watch it. Being at college doesnt help.

So last night we decide to have spaghetti for dinner and I get my whole wheat angel hair out..and thier regular spaghetti and i put a couple of handfuls in water and the hubby comes in and says "thats not enough for us"...and I tell him that I think it is, and nicely try to tell him that his dtr doesnt need to eat 4 cups of pasta for dinner. He still added to the water..so when I cleaned the kitchen, their was about 2 cups of leftover spaghetti in the strainer...

I hope to keep myself motivated as well as him.

I am going to coach today (I am a figure skate coach) and as my team warms up I think I am going to skate laps...usually the other coaches and I sit by the boards and talk...

Team one..you rock....

Have a great day all
Love
me
 
Wow! Losing weight is so hard for me, and it's just me. I couldn't imagine having someone in the house too that was eating too much around me. Dangerous!!!

Just lead by example. Surely when he sees you dropping weight and looking all sexy it will in spire him.

Stay strong!!
 
so i bought two dvd's today at the store. One is a Yoga..for beginners. Am and PM yoga. I did the AM just to see what I thought and I am not sure if I am going to like it. I am sure it will get better as I go on. The other is a walking dvd...its supposed to be morning walking program. 15 minute "blocks". There are 5 15 minute sessions on the dvd..each day targets different areas. I think I can get up 15 minutes earlier a day and start my day like that. The yoga I think I will only do on the weekends...and maybe the PM ones a few times a week.

I gotta be careful, dont want to burn out...but right now I am so motivated its nice..considering I have been "starting my diet" every day for years and this is the first time I simply feel GREAT....

I am sleepy..the hubby is out plowing snow, the kid is at her friends...I am watching football and just settling in. GO ARIZONA!! (I have a little crush on Kurt Warner)

okay

bye
 
so yesterday I again stayed within in my weight watchers points. I made a pork roast for dinner and actually had potatos and corn...I never eat potatos and corn at the same time as a rule, but felt like I needed to be what I considered "bad". I chose instead to make sure my points value stayed within the proper range. Ended up having like 4 ounces of meat, 1 cup of potatos and 1/2 cup corn....this seemed to fill me up and satisfy me as I was feeling a little deprived yesterday. I made some jello to for a little sweet tooth satisfaction but havent had any of that yet. Need to get some FF cool whip....

Just before I posted here I got out the exercise ball and did some arm reps and abs...I was bored watching the game and flipping channels and so I thought why the hell not take advantage of it.

At 10 pm I certainly was falling asleep in my chair and ended up going up to bed. Woke up somewhere in the mid of night to go to the bathroom and the hubby was home. He has to be exhausted as he had crews out for the last 24 hours plowing the city...he was drinking beer when I got up. Unusual for him, but he said he was on the too tired high and had to wind down. I thought about joining him for one but decided not too...One beer is not worth the points..plus I probably would have ended up having 2...forget it...I went back to bed and up at 6:30. Been reading some journals here since then..trying to stay inspired. Just had a whole wheat english muffin, 1 1/2 tbp of fat free cheddar and one egg + one egg white for breakfast. Made a sammich out of it. Thats my fave break right now...sometimes I put veggies in the egg, sometimes I use one small slice of canadian bacon. But it makes me feel like I am eating an egg mcmuffin. Plus at work I can make the egg in the microwave.

Am still a little groggy this morning even though i got in a full 7 hours sleep.

Challenge today is that I have a birthday party...for a one year old. I guess I will try to do extra cardio...and say no to the cake...thats hard..people can sometimes be very pushy with the food.
 
Just walked hour and 1/2 on treadmill while watching "Burn after reading"..it was a really good movie and i got into it and rarely noticed I was walking...

going to take a shower and then do some stuff around the house...gotta drive the kid back to school "Toledo" later tonight and stop at the grocery store...we are out of TeePee..maybe I shouldnt have teepee'd team twos chat thread......
 
weighing in today

i feel like i have done my job as far as points and exercise, but the scale frightens me...this is my 2nd week weigh in...I just want to get below 180 this week..that would be an almost 5 pound loss..I cant be dissappointed if that doesnt happen because that is a pretty agressive number. I will be happy if I have lost 2 pounds...

I am getting my hair cut and colored this morning...I am kind of letting it grow out..going for one of those "inverted bob" looks I think...I told my dtr if I lose 60 pounds I am going to get it cut spikey short again, and go platinum blonde...she said "no way"...well..the chances of me losing 60 pounds are slim to none...I havent been in the 120's since I was in my early 20's...my goal is 130...

off to start my day

hugs to all
me

Keeping yourself feeling strong is your responsibility -- no one else is going to tell you how to get healthy. Start exploring new ways to exercise.
 
My hair is so very cute

I have been trying to grow it out from a very short razor cut from beginning of summer. I then received the haircut from hell from a $12 salon and had to go to a VIP place to get it fixed...since then I have vowed that I will spend the extra money to get my haircut...spending $40 bucks in the first place is a hell of alot heaper than spending $12 bucks then scrambling to get it fixed for another $40. I have done this twice in the last year...if I am not worth $40 bucks then I am not worth anything....So I am trying to grow it out into an "inverted bob"...(sounds naughty doesnt it)...but it still looks pretty short...she assures me the next time It will be long enough to look "bobby"...kind of like going for the Jenny McCarthy/Katie Holmes look..its definitely too short for that right now..but thats what I am going for. Probably will be totally out of style by the time I get there. She asked me about the coloring and I said surprise me and she colored it a deep reddish/brown..very pretty...darker always makes me look younger.

Well I need to go to the foot dr now...and when I come back I will do a "last chance workout" before I go to weight watchers. I am also washing the same outfit I wore last week....no JEANS!!!

Hope all is well with the world

Love Kare

Karen, have faith...

You are doing so well, don't get upset over a weigh in. Seriously look at all the work you're putting into this!

You rock, babe!!
 
Imma' echo Karl here.... with all your effort, and drive you have displayed... you're bound to have great results. It may not be alot every week, but if you keep the resolve... you will see amazing things over time, then others will see amazing things too *cues cheesy lounge music* No what I'm sayin'?

SOOOO....how did the weigh in go? :D:
 
i lost another 2.8 pounds....so I am up to I think 8.4...I would have to look at my ticker :). I am pleased...just keep on keepin on I guess....

Ivette, I dont see much difference between momentum and points...I havent really figured out the diff...but I am eating and stuff when I am hungry so..hey thats good

There are 5 guys in my class..one guy has dropped 70 pounds...I told the hubby thsi trying to get him to join..with me or at least "work the program"...he will get alot more points than me too. I think my brother and his girlfriend are going to do it...she just had the baby...

I have exercised the last like 6 days in a row..I am going to take tonight off..I got another shot in my foot today ..it hurt like hell..
