Yesterday Update:

I did soooooo good at Golden Corral yesterday.

I had 2 slices of ham - 3 tbs. mashed taters w/1 tbs. gravy - huge salad w/ranch dressing - 2 tbs. fried okra. - Diet Pepsi

Man was it hard! The dessert bar alone kept callin' my name..

Not to mention all the sides such as dressin' - tater salad - baked tater bar - etc..

Once at Cyndi's house {hubby's sister}, OMG there were 2 homemade pecan pies - choc. cream pie - freakin' choc. donut holes - homemade cookies galore- etc..

Didn't take one nibble..

I had 1 glass of Diet A&W Rootbeer.

No one mentioned my weight-loss... :angelsad2:

It was bc my sister-in-law Barbarra{hubby's brother's wife} had stomach staple surgery in March. She's now lost over 90 lbs.

All the focus was on her, which is great. :)

I'm now the "fat one." So, it didn't look like I had any progress compared to her. lol

We left there and went to my parents which ended up as a very short visit bc mom and dad were fighting bc their 25 year-old-fridge went out.

OMG--What is freakin' next? I swear!!!!!!!!

They were fighting over what food was most important to put into the ice chest, and what would have to be thrown away.

Here are people poor as shit - finally had a great meal bc of the gift card and my sister helping, and they are havin' to throw food away! Pretty ironic huh?

They have 2 small ice chests now for a fridge.

I'm gonna get on the phone here in a bit and start makin' phone calls to churches to see if anyone can get them a fridge.

Didn't even get ta see MaeMae bc she was out w/friends. :rolleyes:

After we left, my sister{Steph-25} and brother had a huge fight and bubba popped her in the eye. He then grabbed clothes-his meds- and took off.

They have no idea where he is.....

They were fighting bc Steph was tellin' him that he needed to quit bein' lazy and get more hours to help out around the house. She told him that working less than 25 hours a week was stupid and then he blows everything on beers and parties for the weekend. {I agree w/her btw.}

She just handles things in the wrong way though..(She screams - hollers - cusses - insults.)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

:smilielol5:
 
heya darlin,

sounds like you had a very long day yesterday. very good on the control at the restaurant and at your SIL's :party:

I hope everything works out with your family :hug2:

the weekend is here! have a great one!!:biggrinjester:
 
:grouphug: Wow I dunno how you handled that Golden Corral,did ya see the list I posted when I ate there lastweek,omg BAD lol,so awesome will power girly!Wow my sis N law had her tummy tuck last Friday do to the excess skin she had after her liproscopic bypass weightloss surgery she was 255 and now she's 140ish,that was before the tummy tuck.She looked like she was in some pain yesterday,she looks great tho.
I am still amazed on how well you handled the CORRAL lol.:party:
HAVE A NICE DAY
 
I agree with Tammy that you were awesome at the buffet yesterday!! I ate over 4000 calories!! But I didn't care, b/c I'd already decided I was gonna eat whatever I wanted..lol Now I've gotta crack the whip and get back on the wagon. :biggrinjester:

Sorry to hear about our family's troubles. It does seem like it's never ending, doesn't it? If it's not one thing, it's another. :banghead::banghead:

I hope you have lots of fun crankin' up the C-mas music and decorating your big heart about. :santa::santa:
 
Thanks guys.. :hug2:

No one else commented, so it's so nice to hear it from you guys! :grouphug:

C-MAS will be a different story...I will eat whatever I want.. :D

I just wanted to try and continue the weight-loss for now..

I'll be happy as long as I don't gain when gettin' on the scale tomorrow..(bc of Tuesday with dressin' and starchy sides.}

It'll be a hard thing to really believe though bc I'm still on period. :banghead:

If I have a loss I'll be freakin' shocked. :smilielol5:

Today I've had SF/Carnation Instant Breakfast Smoothies for Breakfast & Lunch and dinner was a pita melt and salad..I've also had a slimfast snack bar.

Probably not over 1,295 cals..{maybe even lower.}

exercise: 3 hours of scrub cleaning and lifting/pullin' heavy storage tubs.

I'm still going with the decorating... 14 years of collecting...LOL I have a ton of stuff and trying to find a place for it all.

Sings: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

:santa:

I'm havin' a ball listening to my music. I just LOVE Bing Crosby and Perry Como..

Cory is sick of it, but too bad! :biggrinjester: lol

Well, my break is over..

LOVE Y'ALL!

Miss ya to! :hug2:

Click to expand...

No, you are NOT dropping out. No quitters here. Hell, if it makes ya feel any better, I've gained 4.5lbs over the last 3 days. Am I down about it? Hell no. Let's not forget about RHC--it's probably all his fault..lol. You'll get there, honey. Just don't give up. If you give up, it's all over and I know you don't want that.
 
~Saturday~

It's a dreary/cold day with lots of rain. It's 40* (Cold for us Texans.)

I hope it stays above freezing bc I worry so much about hubby on his way to/from work! What's real scary is his drive home at 7AM bc most of the time it will be at freezing. If there is rain/sleet, of course that means ICE...

People here are dumb morons and still think they can drive like a bat out of hell. :rolleyes:

Not walking is gonna feel very strange now.

On days with no rain, I will bundle up and walk.

I may check out the mall up the street to see how it is on certain days. Maybe it won't be too crowded. NO weekends of course!
I could get walking in there.

I checked out all the gyms around here and we just can't afford it.

They all want $75 down - contract - $34 a mo.

I have checked the paper and craigs list for an exercise bike and people are almost asking for the same price as a brand new one! :banghead:

The only ones in our price range are the ones that are very old with the skinny bike seat that are very uncomfy/outdated.

Maybe one will pop up soon I can grab. :)

I'm gonna have to step up exercise indoors with Circuit Training/Denise Austin/and Pilates.

I cannot believe I'm doin' so horrible.. I'm just stuck in the low 70's.. :banghead:

I'm so sick of it! I have gotta get my crap together and make this work.

*****

I'm so freakin' tired and my head hurts.

I went to bed at 4AM.. OCD was in control.. I just couldn't stop cleaning/decorating.

Hubby will only have Monday off... I hope he will help me w/tree before he goes to sleep tomorrow. Now that everything else is decorated, I want to get that over with so I can get back to normal with daily routine/exercise.

It takes me 4-5 hours just to decorate tree. Every ornament has ta be placed on perfect. I step back and look and then make changes or go to the next ornament. :rolleyes:

I'm such a freak! :D

Hubby's job is to get tree out - shape - put lights on.. lol
(I hate doing that, so that's been his job for C-Mas since bein' married..lol)

We still have to do lights in windows and outside as well. That will get done on Monday.

THEN, everything will be complete/finished.

Then it'll be time to shop-shop-shop!

Well, I need to start my day...(I've rested all morning)

Gotta add some last minute touches around the house and get laundry going.

I don't know if I'll be able to exercise today? I'm so tired/sore.

I may try pilates this evening.

{{Update on Parents: Steph charged a fridge for them..Bless her heart..
Dad came home with it last night. Bubba and Steph made up and dad made it clear he better not EVER hit a girl again. She has a half moon shaped black eye. Bubba has bruises from Steph knocking him down to the floor.
I think i will seriously start writing shit down and see if anyone in the soap opera world is interested in ideas!!! Who freakin' knows, it could lead to something! You never know until you try? I could even just write a damn fiction book about all this type of crap. Could get me ta writing again!
LMAO!}}

~*Have A Great Saturday All*~ :hug2:
 
Hi ya Kimberly.. :hug2:

I'm just not doin' good and now the teams are gonna be made.

No one will want me on their team. lol (I don't blame them!)

I should have been in the 60's weeks ago.. :nopity:

****

You will have that off in no time bc yer so good w/exercise! :seeya:
 
Hi Stacy

Dont worry about a slight gain. We all have weeks where we lose no weight or make a slight gain. Check out my weighings in the 2lb a week challenge - you can see me on the last page there. I had put on weight there last week. Just about all the women will retain water at least one week of the month.

There will be lots of people with less points than you.

Just think - the bonuses will be easy this week for us pedometer girls.

Personally - I would be delighted to be in the same team as you - although we know that it all going to be sorted out by drawing names out of a hat. We can't bribe Kimberly - much as we might want to. So we will have no more talk of no-one wanting to be in the same team as you.

As I understand it - the purpose of the challenge is not to see who can be best. It is to try and keep as many of us focused and on track as possible. We all have moments when we weaken - and when we do - we either get back on track or are doomed to undo a lot of our hard work. Giving up on the challenge is like saying that you want to give up on your project. We dont want to do that - we want to make our dreams come true.

As for the gyms - remember - I am not a member of a gym. In all honesty I wasted a fortune on gym memberships in years gone by. I joined and went a few times. Then I kept on paying and never going. The big thing is the motivation and not the gym.

Just like you - I havent got any gym equipment at home either. Just like you I have a pedometer and wrist weights. We dont need that fancy stuff. We can do this on the cheap.

Take care
Love
Margaret
 
>>>Dropped Out of Holiday Challenge<<<

Yes, I'm a flake..

I need to drop out before teams are made..

:nopity:

I'm doin' terrible..

I don't want my team to suffer. :smash:

I knew TG/Gettin' ready for C-Mas would screw me up. (decorating)

I'm so freakin' off track right now!

I'm in a huge blah place at the moment.

With bein' so worn out/bad insomnia/havin' ta wait on hubby to help me finish/our weather change and so on, I just don't know when this rut will end.

I have not ate one thing yet today...I don't even wanna think about exercise right now bc I feel like a zombie.

This is what freakin' OCD does with me.

It's so hard to explain but it puts me in this place where I think/feel I can't move along/forward until this-this-and that is accomplished.

This is why I'm not successful at anything and this is why I fail at everything.

I try so hard to fight it off but it has more power than I do.

I can't take meds for it bc they make me very ill.

I know once things settle down I'll get back to movin' forward..

I hope Tuesday will be like Day 1 again...

Sorry I'm crazy everyone!

I hope you guys won't be mad at me.

I'm truly tryin' ta hang in there and do the best I can.
It's just not enough or good enough right now.
 
Hi Stacy

Why would any of us be mad at you? - we care for you.:grouphug:

I am so sorry that things feel so difficult for you at the minute.

I have heard before how difficult OCD can be for people.

One of my friends had OCD and couldnt take the medication for it - like you.
They found a thing called "cognitive therapy" really useful and said that it helped a lot. I believe that there are books on the subject that you could read that could help you.

Between your OCD and the hormones from your period - there should be no surprise that you are finding things tough.

Like with the insomnia - I think that meditation could help. It is really relaxing.

Take care
Love
Margaret
 
PLEASE DON'T DROP OUT OF THE CHALLENGE!!! Please? Honey, there are lots of people with less pts than you, and let me tell ya, I know from the last challenge that anything can happen. You just do the best you can like everyone else does, and you'll be fine. Like Margaret said, it's not about winning, it's about doing your best. That's all anyone expects of you. Heck, I've lost a few pts this week, no biggie. Even Paul missed 3pts in the bonus this week, and he was perfect in the last challenge. I really want you to stay, and I know I'm not the only one. Weight loss isn't easy--if it was I'd be a size 10 right now. You're talking to a girl who spent 2 months plateauing. But I didn't give up, and now I'm losing weight again. Just take some time to calm down and think this over, and I really hope you'll stay in. :beating::beating::beating:
 
TX SUNSHINE, DON'T GIVE UP!! STAY IN THE CHALLENGE, do you hear me!!!!

I want you on my team!!!! Like it or not, I need you around!! I need your motivation, you keep me going everyday!!! So you had a bad week, look at me, I haven't lost crap a few pounds in three weeks, WOOPTY DOO! With the way I work out at the gym, I should be losing at least 2 pounds a week, NO JOKE!

I want you to STAY IN, if not for you, for me PLEASE RECONSIDER, I need you in there!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your not a failure!! and I don't give a rats ass if I win or lose this challenge, my only focus is to stay with it until the end, and know that at LEAST THAT I accomplished. You need to do the same for yourself, STAY IN IT!! so you can say at least you accomplished all the way to the finish line, and that in my eyes makes you a WINNER!! Stick with it, don't give in regardless of the obstacles around you, over come your fear of failure today!! If you stay in, your a winner!!!

I NEED YOU!!!!:willy_nilly: this is me!!:svengo:
I LOVE YOU!!
HUGS!
Kim
 
LMAO you guys... :p

Kimberly called me and even though I said NO like 3 X, she made me agree to stay in the challenge..lol...Damnit! :p

I just want you guys to know it wasn't over winning/points..

I have never done anything like this before so I was concerned for my future team-mates. (you guys know my history now, and I do not like the feeling of letting people down-failing)

I'm in this horrible rut so don't expect a lot from me at this time...lol

All I can do is get up each day and try.

Now I gotta go back to the freakin' thread and try to remember all the dog-gone points so I can repost. :rolleyes:

lol

Be watchin' yer pm Kimberly bc I will probably need ya ta double check to make sure it's correct.. ;)

>>>>>

Margaret: Thanks so much sweetie for always bein' so kind and supportive. :hug2:
I guess it's time for me to check out the herbal store again and see if anything new has come out.

I can't take sleepin' pills bc our ins. does not cover them.

Before ins. changed, I tried Ambian and that wired me up soooo bad..I was up for 48 hrs. I was also out of my mind. Hubby said he got up and I was cooking at 4AM one time and my eyes were glazed over and I didn't respond to him. That is freaky!
Lunesta also wried me up and I was up cleaning for 24 hours.

My body is sooooo freakin' strange! My chemical problems must not let drugs work for me.

My body rejects everything but antibiotics. It handles certain herbs ok.

Kimberly: Thanks for callin' sweetie. :hug2:
What a nice surprise! :)
Now you can see why Cory is bass in choir.. lol!
He has such a deep manly voice..HeeHee..
Thanks 4 the Pep Talk! :beating:

Sneeker-Poo:

LMAO..Hello lil cheer leader! :biggrinjester:

Thank you sweetie. :hug2:

Love Ya's Back!
 
I'm glad you've changed your mind--see how upset you got us all by dropping out? Clearly you are loved here and nobody cares what your points are. We just want you to do the best you can--for yourself, not for us.

Anyway, you're back in. :hurray::hurray:
 
*Just a little info. note*

This may sound so silly but oh well.. :D

I was leaving a message for Margaret in her diary and used this size/font and really like it. I'm going to use it all the time now.

I have noticed it may be time for me to get glasses bc I seem to strain when reading/typing messages. I have been bad w/spelling as well. lol

Once I post, it's so much easier to see my reply clearly and to check the spelling.

Guess I need to make an appointment with eye doc.

:rolleyes:

Man, I feel like I'm gettin' so old.
