The Bombshells

[vikski]

I just need to start having willpower. I can't deny my family things because i'm being stupid and not having the willpower. I just need to get a firm kick in the butt and get with the program!

[ravenfan]

Me too, me too. Some days I have tons of willpower, others I fight the urge all day. I think my biggest problem is cooking for my family, then cooking something on the side for myself. I cook my hubby all his high-carb stuff, while trying not to eat that. I'm sure others have the same problem. I'm going to go visit the success stories, they always make me feel better.

[vikski]

That's a good idea Kim. When I get some time later on i'm venture over to the success stories as well. I'm sure that we're not the only ones who have lacked willpower at times. The successes had to have fallen off the wagon a few times as well.

Forgot to mention that I have posted my fitday link at the bottom of my signature so you guys can view what i'm eating. It will make me more accountable once again for the food I put in my mouth.

You guys should do it too and we'll check on each other.

Today I vow to exercise 30 minutes on my treadmill, I will also do 30 minutes every day through Friday. Anyone else?

[ravenfan]

Ok I did fitday, and here is my link:

I couldn't find splenda on there, so I just put in saccarin instead.

im like way behind. Ill look into the fitday. need to see how that works and post a link at the bottom of my signature.

Ok so to day i took a preg. test, because im usually never , never late. and its negative. Still wondering were tom is. Im mad that he has not come. Kinda like if we have an appointment he should be here. Im still hoping these extra pounds are from tom. So my weight go is 140-135 by july. Hey isabeau, dont say you have a long way to go. your current weight is were i started and you are only like 16 pounds from me. And my goal is less than yours so i think we have about the same weight to go.


SO how does this fit day thing work...its ok ill go exploring it in a min.

As far as willpower goes im with you both. its on and off and on and off. like a rollercoaster...up and down and up and down, kinda like my weight, but im working on going down and then getting of the rollercoaster for good. Hey vicki how old are you. I noticed kim was 29 and im like 27 wonder if you are around that age to. So have you checked out the before and after pic forum, o my goodness. So insperational. I just cant believe some of those people.
So im working on becoming more computer literate and im working on a weight change graphic for myself hope i can figure it out before o loose the weight. Would be nice to have it on my signature.

So yesterday i worked out and did 4 miles on the clubhouse elliptical trainer in one hour. I was so surprised because i was sweating, finally. It was not alot, you know just dripping form the hair and forhead area but still i saw sweat, i used to gross out with it but im like Whoo Hoo....sweat.

Im hoping hubby does not stay late at work today do i can go again..
So i weighted in this morning and i went form 181.6 to 181.2 down .4 its still something so im not pouting about it. It will add up in the end.

I'll be 38 next month.

I'm determined to look wonderful though. Everyone thinks i'm much younger though thankfully.

[ravenfan]

Shelly,
I was a few days late last month too, and tom always makes me gain at least 5 lbs. Fitday is a pain in the ***, but it does work. The link to make your personal fitday page available for others to see is at the very bottom on your personal start page I believe. I did 30 minutes on my treadmill today, hope you can get yours in on the elliptical.
Vicki,
No way 38 is old, ladies we are in our prime. I'm hitting the big 30 in May, so I need to lose weight and feel great.
Talk to everyone later.

[Shelly Lynn]

Feel good

ok so i did ok. DH got home early so i was able to go work out at the clubhouse gym (elliptical trainer). I did 4 miles in 45 min. Feels good. But i know i cant do it every day of the week. I think my goal for exercise will to be able to do at least 3-4 days out of the seven days.

shelly

P.S. Still need to check out fitday

Love my signature picture. its just what i need to get me motivated and remind me of my goal.

[ravenfan]

Good job on the elliptical trainer Shelly. I am making myself exercise everyday because of my mess-up this past weekend. 3X a week is my usual.

Hi girls.
This morning I came to the conclusion that my husband is a master sabotager. Last night he made these 'lower carb' brownies with strawberries for dessert. The smell of them drove me crazy. Once again, I caved in and feel like crap this morning. I don't know what is wrong. This morning I feel like I could burst out in tears. I've been down in the dumps the last few weeks over various stuff and wonder if he thinks if I eat 'normal' then I would feel better. Guess what, I don't. The only thing I could do is wake up this morning and start off at day 1 again. I'm up 2 1/2 lbs. TOM isn't for another few weeks so it's not that. I'll be drinking loads of water and definitely exercising and being good.

Hey vicki,
you have to talk to him and tell him he is not helping you out one bit. At least your not giving up, and you are starting over. I have to admit that after i exercised yesterday i was hungry, so i had a small bowl of CEREAL :yikes . But I was so hungry. So then i started thinking...why was i so hungry and craving something with sugar....and boomb.... i realized what someone had told me once on here. when you get those craving its because you body is using the stored fat and it does not want to ......so now i have to think ..when im craving,,,,that good!!!!!!! So about TOM if your up 2.5 pounds dont underestimate him. Remember i started gaining right after Bootcamp, and thinking it was TOM and im still waiting for him. I think he is just having fun this month with me. But the water idea is good and the exercising is even better, so that way you dont retain as much water as i feel like im gaining. My hands are so swollen, im trying to also watch my sodium intake because i know that helps retain water. As far as you feeling like your in the dumps, OOOOO GIRRRRRL, work out, i started feeling like that a couple of days ago and i started working out and i feel alot better after i work out. Its kinda like my time for myself to think about stuff and get time away from the Casa de locos (Crazy House, you know with the kids). It really helps vicki, alot, just wanted to share with you.

So im kicking myself in the but because in bootcamp we took measurements and since then i have not taken any, so im thinking mabey i might not be lossing weight but who knows if im lossing inches because i have not measure, :anger . So ill be measuring myself today and posting them so you can see them.

WE CAN DO IT,
Shelly


P.S.
So i have been thinking about my weight goal and goal date....and i know it took a while to gain the weight so i should not be so headon about losing it with in 3 months. So i have changes my goal weight and goal date to:
120
Dec. 2005
So that way i dont have to make any new year resolutions and break them. And hey if i reach my goal before ........ill think of a really good and awesome treat for myself. (will get back to you on my treat if i loss before Dec 2005).

[ravenfan]

Hey Vicki,
Been there, done that. I feel terrible too when I cheat. The important thing to remember is that you are getting right back on track again. Remember how much weight you have lost so far, that is a great accomlishment! We all have a ways to go, and the road will be bumpy. We live in high carb world, and we will be always fighting the urge. I ate high-carb, low-fat since I was a kid. Now, I have totally changed my woe, and I know that some slip-ups will happen. Don't feel too bad, I made the bad choice of going to an all-you-can-eat buffet on Easter, you can imagine how that turned out. Just get right back on your feet. BTW, do you know the ingredients he used? Just curious.

[vikski]

Thanks. About the brownies, it was some kind of mix out of a box made with splenda. That is the only thing I noticed about it. We're going out to lunch today. I told him about my weight gain and my lack of willpower. I told him that he'll have to make goodies when i'm not around and hide them. Sad, huh. Well we're going to the buffet today. I usually do well there. Lots of meat choices. I think today was a rude awackening for me. We'll see how it goes. I WILL EXERCISE ON THE TREADMILL TONIGHT!!!!!
