Re: Roll Call! 1/28/08

Morning, all!

Scale says 200 again, and TOM is due any day now, so it must be water retention. How do I know this? Because my size 14 jeans fit. Yep! A week and a half ago, I was about 2 inches from being able to close them. Now, they close! Tight around the waist, but wearable. And the thighs are loose.

WA HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So yesterday, dh and I did some stuff in the early a.m., then he went to work at 11:30. I decided to lie in bed for awhile and read...........next thing you know, I'm in bed for the whole danged day! How luxurious and decadent! I think I needed it. I took one nap, but mostly just read and watched election coverage (I'm addicted). Only got up to pee (grin) and make yummy things to eat, like pumpkin, a humongous salad, scrambled eggs with sour cream, fried mexican squash..............oh, yum.

So........now it's back to teaching. Staff meeting this afternoon, but when that's over and I come home, we'll go to the gym for a big workout. Those are my only plans for the day, but they're good ones.

Make this day COUNT.

Re: Roll Call! 1/28/08

Good morning everybody. Well, I am happy to report that I did the half marathon in Miami yesterday with Adena. So, that's one of the goals I'd set for the month. I had such a FANTASTIC time and I'm so proud of myself and my friend ADENA!

I ate well through the race and the weekend, though I did allow myself a couple pieces of fruit and two half larabars...OH, and real creme in a cup of coffee.

Today, back to the basics. The scale was 176.0 this morning. I imagine tomorrow I'll be up because of the race. But, that's okay.

After running 13.1 miles yesterday, I'm taking a day off of exercise today.

Good morning, everyone! I'm down to 261.5 this morning - 2.5 pounds! YAY! I'm losing slowly, but that's ok!

Today is a teacher workday, so I'm taking some time to visit journals and post. Haven't had much time to do that lately! Need to get some material ready for class tonight and then plan to walk 2 miles before class.

starr - great start! Thanks!

Re: Roll Call! 1/28/08

Morning All! I did terribly on the weekend, was a the cottage, a friend from around the lake had cause some fish out icefishing all day, I had a few battered bits of it while i was over there. bad bad me, i know better. I don't even really like fish, but it was deep fried and i just couldn't resist!. Yesterday i didn't do too bad, but i'm sure my carbs were higher than they should've been.

Did get lots of exercise though. snow was too deep and powdery to xcountry ski, so ended up taking the dogs for a couple of big walks on the lake, was hard work with all the boots and snowpants and 2' of snow, and having to stay in the sled tracks. i've got sore muscles this morning i didn't know i had!

Back on track this morning so far....hopefully i can stay there! next challenge will be the superbowl, but usually i bring a veggie tray and stick to that.

Re: Roll Call! 1/28/08

Good Morning Everyone!!!! Today is a new day right??? LOL rough weekend not off plan but again eating to much. My goal this week is to buckle down on portion control and measure and record everything. I am doing the FRIM 5 days a week and really loving it. I am not measuring till the love handles challenge is over but I expect to see good results. My weight is hovering with in the same three pounds again ........... UGH. Hopefully the portion control will bust me through that and make me realise that eating on plan isn't always enough .........

Evermind whooooohoooooooooo on the size 14 jeans thats so awesome!!!! You must just feel wonderful!!!!!

Starr you sound very upbeat this morning! Enjoy your jog and drink all that water!

Chic have a fun day! I can only imagine what rustling up a hog to the butcher must be like but it definitly sounds like a work out! And lots of good meat afterwards!

Party troble sounds like you had an awesome weekend with your sister which is wonderful! Jus jump right back on track and you will be just fine! Love the new pics BTW!

Congrats ValidRouge and Adena on the half Marathon how fun to be able to do it together!

plsmachic planning ahead is awesome! havea great day!

cheribaby Whooooohoooooo for you on the 2.5 pounds!!!!!!

Jess everytime I log on and see you with that little puppy I have to smile! If just a pic makes me smile I can just imagine what playing and holding her does for you! Have a great day!

Well I hope you all have a fabulous stick to the plan day!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Roll Call! 1/28/08

Re: Roll Call! 1/28/08

I made pinkwoman's spinach muffins for breakfast and they were good! LOL, I was planning on that being breakfast for 3 days, but had some visitors and they liked them too so I only have enough left for tomorrow! Hoping that delivery man brings my immersion blender cause I want to make Cr of Anything soup-delivery receipt says delivery today!!! Also, still waiting on my DANDR copy since I lost my original one....that was supposed to be here last Friday and still isnt!!!!! UGHHH! Barnes and Nobles has it on sale for $4.99, so I guess I will just get one from there and quit waiting. If the other one comes, I can always keep one at the office and one here at home. Well I'm off to pick up my little one from preschool and then housework housework housework!

[BeanPole]

Re: Roll Call! 1/28/08

I see that I'm not the only one that has a ton of housework to do! Mondays are always the worst for cleaning since everything piles up over the weekend. I'm back on track and doing well so far. I'm avoiding the scales because I obviously can't handle the discouragement when the numbers stay the same for weeks at a time. I held on for quite awhile and then I kept having lapses of weakness and breaking over, then getting back on plan the next day. So no more scales for me! Hope everyone else is doing well and having a wonderful day!

Re: Roll Call! 1/28/08

So much good news here today and even those who cheated sound good and determined to get back on track. I've been good, but I'm up a pound. I think it's just around that time of the month.

I heard back from the belly dance instructor. Yea! This weekend I bought a pair of ballet flats since she prefers that we wear them. I'm ready! Just have to wait for the next session to start in a few weeks. I'm very excited. And dh is hoping that this time around, I'll dance for him! LOL! We'll see....
