CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

[yankee]

Well, this afternoon is the first of many cookouts for the summer. It's an awards thing for dd's swim club and it comes AFTER a meet so I'll be living out of the cooler for most of the day. I've planned out breakfast and lunch and plugged them in at fitday. I plan to eat a burger no bun and maybe a hot dog no bun but will make sure I eat my salad and grilled chicken before arriving. Lack of handy restrooms means not drinking the water but there's not much I can do about that. So maybe I can actually avoid the long tables of other "stuff" and force myself to relax and enoy the day!

I hope everyone has a great day with no cheats!

hey all checking in here.

My weigh ins our monthly, but I do plan to have a measuring session this wednesday.

Mary-chan,

I started the challenge at 247.7 and I guess today's is 247.1. Not much of a loss No

Remember when you were trying to get past 250? Don't worry, it will come off, I gurantee it! :yes

Yankee, good luck on the cook out, those things can be difficult.

Well, I've been having a terrible weekend. It seems to be a pattern. anytime I go anywhere I am stuck eating what I can find, which usally ends up me eating definitley not enough. I am going to have to recover this week.

I did walk around 8 miles yesterday and biked around 10 the day before so maybe that Might have done some good.

PUNKIN50 doing aweomse lost 6.75 inches that is totally awesome. I only do monthy measurements cause I want to see more of a change so I'll measure the 16th of July and see how I have done. I am going to run today cause I took my rest day yesterday it seemed I needed it we had soo much to do and not enough time so I didn't get it done. Today I am basically home so I'll be running a little later. I have some great songs downloaded on my MP3 I tell you I can't run without the music it makes the run go by faster and the different tunes modivate me. So It's awesome.

Take care all.

Did my long run today so you all don't have to get on my case LOL. I jogged for 78 minutes went 5 miles or 8 kms so I am pretty darn happy with that. I Can't be here long so I'll let you all do your THANG.

Sarah

[FightingTheFight]

Hi all!

Sarah, that is amazing, 5 miles, one day I shall be up there with you. I have been already running but tommorow I am starting the "couch to 5k". Even if at first I can do better than it suggest, I am still going to follow the rules.


Well, I have a confession to make. At work today, I was really tempted, and I kept fighting myself and fighting myself, but I finally gave in..Yep I did it.

I weighed :no I couldn't help myself, the scale was just sitting there staring at me. bastard!

anyway, I am 2lbs down, I still feel bad for cheating like that, My next weigh in isn't until next month.....Ohwell...NO MORE WEIGHING!

[Theatrelover]

Hi, ALL!!!!! Ooooops, I posted this message in the wrong place at first!

I've missed you guys sooooo much! :wave

I fell off the wagon some time ago! :sadblinky

My husband and I went to visit my in-laws for a few weeks in LA; we were so happy to see them and to see our precious daughters. My in-laws keep our daughters during the summer months.

Well, the happy trip turned into the trip from ****! :anger We would have been on the next plane the following day, but our hearts were bleeding from being away from our 4 and 5 year-old girls, so we sucked in a lot of air and concentrated on going to all the fun places close to LA. We went to Disney Land, Knotts Berry Farms, tons of McDonald's, numerous parks, and plenty of public bathrooms, but man, was it FUN!!! :yes Oh, the "public bathrooms" part was terrible!!! I hate those places, especially when it comes to taking my kids!

However, when the kids were asleep, my in-laws, who are amazing, loving, kind grandparents, tore into Robert and I like two wild savages. :yikes They're very cranky and tempermental; everything bothers them when it comes to Robert and I...the way I pack the groceries into the fridge, the light staying on too long in the bathroom, too much bath water in the tub, too many windows are open, driving out too much gas when gas is $3.00 a gallon, going to bed too late, getting up too early, etc, etc...my head was exploding!!! I stopped eating because I forgot to eat! Then, overate because I forgot that I was eating! Up-down, up-down was my life for 3 weeks in LA! The TRAFFIC was awful as always! :anger

So, now I'm back home with a lot more weight on me! :help My neck looks fat. My face looks fat, and I feel disgusting! Imagine, I even wanted to go out and get french fries tonight! :raving

Anyways, I have got to re-start my Induction today and get back on my mission, so that I can reach my goal by the end of the year! :confused I don't want to be the only one who hasn't made any progress!!!! urplequ:

I'm off to bed! :no

Talk to ya in the morning!

[yankee]

I'm so sorry your in-laws were so terrible to you. For me, food would become my comfort in trying to deal with them. Hopefully they'll never treat your daughters this way. It hit home that my MIL is arriving Wednesday so I'm off to stock the house with lo-carb foods so if I do turn to food it'll be safe food. Now that you're home you can climb back on the wagon and the weight will be back off in no time.


I managed very well at the cookout - asked my husband if he'd please make some choices for me and he came back with a naked burger, a naked hot dog (2 carbs for that brand), a slice of tomato with fresh mozarella, and some strawberries. Perfect. It was 98 degrees out and I guzzled water the whole time. Didn't have to worry about public restrooms as I sweated out every ounce I drank! I was happy to see the scale move down this morning!!!!

[iyamamaschke]

Sorry Bout the inlaws I'm fortunate to have great ones but, that's not the norm that's for sure I know more people who have problems with theirs then not. The best thing to do is just move forward and try to do this for you that's the most important thing obviously they have nothing nice to say and that doesn't make them very nice people. Sometimes others do these things without knowing what harm they are doing to the other person.

I welcome you back here and hopethat everything goes well on induction. YAY!!

Sarah

[Mary-chan]

Sorry to hear about the in-laws. That's just awful how they dig into you like that :no . Glad to see you back on the wagon though!

I hope I get a whooshie or something soon. This month has been slow going for me and I am getting frustrated! I know I should be happy that I'm at least losing, but my wedding is April 24th and I really want to be close to goal weight! Oh well, I just need to keep moving forward I suppose!

Hopefully I'll at least be at 244 by fourth of July. This is my short term goal!


Hope everyone else is having a good day! Now I need to get my shoes on and go exercise!

[iyamamaschke]

I was doing good until I rolled my ankle I am sorry to tell you all no runniing for this girl for a bit, DAMN IT. I am kinda Mad well really mad but, what do you do other then Ice recover and rest. Hope to be back at it soon till then I have to take it easy and things were going soo well.

[punkin50]

Are you sure you didn't break anything? If it swells immediately, that's indicative of a break. :sadblinky

[iyamamaschke]

Pretty sure I have done it soo many tiems and I can still walk on it I have gone to the hospital so many tiems they always tell me to ice it. If after 3 days it's really tender then I'll go in

[FightingTheFight]

Sarah, I am so sorry for what happened. I've done it before aswell and can really relate.

But it doesn't mean the end of exercise, there are plenty of other things you can do in the mean time to keep up your cardiovasuclar.


Live strong sister :nod

[iyamamaschke]

I'm going to be off the boards for about a week. My grandma-in-law passed away this evening. She was a very special lady so if all that could just say a little prayer for her and her family I'm sure they'd all appreciate it.

I'll see you guys next week
