Good morning forum friends!!!


Yesterday I went to a local zoo!!! TOM also arrived ....... The Zoo is really cute and there is tones of walking to be done just to go around and see all the animals, to top that off I also had to walk back the intire zoo to go back to the front and use the only washrooms so I did about 5 hours of walking at time carying my son I am so considering this a major work out, there were hill and unevan ground. Lot of sun so my shoulder's sunburn now have a sunburn...today 's plan are laundry and pack up the kids to go stay over night at my parents since hubby is having his eye surgery tomorow. I stayed with in my pts yesterday ...I think the only junk I had wa 1/3 of a cup of fruit loops I had forgotten how much surgar was in there thank god it was desert and not breakfast.

That's wonderful! I think one of the hardest things to give up is the sugary sodas. The caffeine is also really hard to kick too. When I gave up my coffee I had to slowly ween myself away from it, to have it less and less often. I don't think I could have done it if I had tried to go "cold turkey". lol Now I have it maybe twice a month as a treat.

You're doing so good! Rock on, sweetie! :D :cheers2:

.4 pounds is just a hair under half a pound, nothing to shake a stick at sister! :D Progress is progress, so congrats! I noticed you don't have a ticker, how many pounds have you lost total so far?
 
I agree with Stacy. It is almost half a pound, which is still lbs lost. Congratulations, hun. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend with family.
 
I have a ticker I just can't make it work on here lol! In January I was 192lb and I am not at 171.6 Almost 21lb! My husband surgery went very well it was a long process not the actuall surgery but we got there at 11:15 15 min early they gave him the contract to read over and then they came in to get us and they retested his vision to make sure that it was still the same thing as last time then back to the waiting room, then at almost 1pm they make us go into an office and explain the surgery in detail and how to use the drops post op (there is like 4 different kinds) and they took the payment then back to the waiting room at 1:45 they called the hubbys name again along with 2 other patien we where brought to a smaller waitting room, then the surgery didn't happen before 2:15 pm and I had to go into the operating room so that I could translate the DR instruction to be certain my hubby understood everything. Those lazer machine are miracles lol! My husband who couldn't even find his glases if they fell on the floor can now read a a licensed plate at the same distance as me....now we have to deal with the financial stress of paying for the surgery, but we coulnd't have financing for glases so surgery was the option we where left with and in long term it will save us money. My eating on friday not so hot a 4 egg cheese omelette was breakfast and lunch I thinking about 12 pts with the toast and I ate a few homefries. then I drank black coffee all day I drank it black as to not add pts but I had forgotten my water so no water till the evening. Diner was take out from a thai place chicken stir fry but I am certain it's not low fat but about another 12pts for that 24 pts and I drank 2 coolers during the evening. On the exercise front I walked a lot about from 6 to 9:30 pm we walked all over the Hubby was amazed at what he could see and he couldn't rad or watch tv or play his games all he could do was sleep (wich he was too exited for) or walk around wich is what we have done my legs where so sore lol! I am off to catch up with some of you!!! Think of me on monday, the job I had applied for last week , well the guy that does the hiring is back from hiliday on the 19 so I really hope to hear from him...if I get the job I am driving straight to Ottawa and giving my boss my letter of resingnation so that my last week off counts as my 2 weeks notice!
 
21 pounds! Awesome work hon! :D It looks like you're doing it the right way too - losing slowly! That's great because it's most healthy for your body to lose the weight slowly.

I'm so glad your hubby's surgery went well! I can't imagine how cool it would be to live without glasses or contacts! I used to wear glasses but I only wear contacts now, I can't bring myself to want to wear glasses again. I would rather people see my face, not some plastic or metal thing on my face. Don't get me wrong, glasses look good on some people, I'm just not one of them. lol

Good luck with the job on Monday! I hope it all works out! :D

As for the ticker - Try going to "user cp" then "edit signature" then copy and paste the ticker code into the window. :) At least that's how I got mine to work.
 
Good luck with hearing about whether you've got the new job on Monday - fingers crossed for you! And I'd take 0.4lb loss over nothing any day!!
 
I have tried many times to edit signature in the cp but it won't work. I only get an error message so I Just gave up lol!

I still haven't heard about the job, but I am confident that I will at least get an interview...the guy was on holiday for 2 weeks so I am certain he has a busy morning, so I will keep hoping all week but my hubby works for that company and knows the guy and I also know a few people I would be working with so i will get an interview. The rest will be up to me! Should I use the interview as a reason to shop for a new outfit lol!

So this weekend eating has not been that great but not that bad I need to get drinking some more water!

today
breakfast
home made egg muffin 4pts
1 coffee 2pts

lunch will be tuna salad so 1 pts

and diner will be something bbq or vegi shepard pie depending on the weather
3-6pts I will see what I have time to do!
 
Dannnnng, 21lbs! You are KILLIN it!
I would love to have the surgery done... HATE my glasses, HATE dealing with my contacts all the time. Blah.
Hope the first day of your week was a good one :)
 
Glad to hear things went well with the surgery - too bad things like that aren't covered. Your doing great so far on your holidays so keep it up this week!! Water, water, water!!
 
Thank you Girls. The time is flying already less then a week left! Oh well I will enjoy it to the Max! Yesterday food ended up terrible supper was poutine we bought a large and shared it betweenthe 4 of us....The good news is that I had just finished biking around 12km towing the kids little wagon so I was pulling about 65lb to 70lb behind me I butt is killing me today but we had a great time my hubby was rollerblading and we stoped at a park to let the kids run and play at the 6km mark It was great we will have to do this more often on weekends we found a path in a small town 20 min away from here! I have no clue what today will bring I have to go grocerie shopping at some point not much left in the house!!!! I will be back later I will have some major catching up to do Next week!
 
Thank you Stacy!!

Ok sorry the update have been on the short side but I have been on the run for 2 weeks lol! Last night a friend brought over her Wii Fit Plus so I could give it a try!!! I had a great time and 30 min just flew by. The games are cool and I think I should buy one to build up my strenght and stamina and then be able to use my shape and the P90X Start slow and work up my way to harder stuff. Food this week has not been has good as last week cause I haven't done grocerie shopping but sunday when we come back from the cottage I will stoke up on salad macking and catch up I might not be back on here until next monday so I will let you know then now my interview was! Have a great weekend!!!!!! Good luck with your weight in's catch up on everyone on Monday I will be at wokr and will have plenty of time!!! LOL!
 
Congrats on the interview! I know you'll do great!
Can't wait to have you back next week - it seems like all my friends have disappeared. I understand because it's so hard to be healthy right now and I'm struggling big time! I love the nice weather but I'm actually looking forward to fall and things slowing down again!
Have a great weekend - sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun!!! take care.
