you know the drill....... weds. check in
how is everyone doing?
This week, let's try to motivate eachother by posting quotes about losing weight/working out/etc.
Re: you know the drill....... weds. check in
I gained .4 lb this week. But I also drank and ate like crap. I suck.
Here is my quote: "I've decided that perhaps I'm bulimic and just keep forgetting to purge. " ~Paula Poundstone
Not super motivational, but still made me smile.
This week, I am the fattest person in all the land. I have PMS and I am eating everything that is not nailed down. Except fruits and veg. I am avoiding those.
I did zumba Monday, walked for 40 minutes outside at lunch yesterday, zumba today at lunch. Tomorrow another walk outside. Friday I might hit the treadmill.
I'm pretty sure it was just a fluke, but I got on the scale this morning and it said I was down 2.5 lbs. There's just no way, but I'll take it. I just need to remember to back away from the pretzels. I'm PMSy and even the slightest amount of salt makes me gain like 10 lbs. overnight.

i was away in canada land until last night. did NOT eat well and only ran once. good news? i am not traveling again for quite awhile so i can get back on track starting now! and i am forced to eat minimally today, as i have no food until i run errands...
last week for my friday weigh in, i was convinced i had gained (texas trip and all) and i was still the same. that is all i can ask for while i travel. i am sure again this week i will have gone up (so much eating on this trip, as usual) but now i am back to the grind (though i hardly have time to run this week, boo)
my quote
"nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."
not sure if it is true or not. obviously so far, i have to doubt that, as i eat so much bc i love how it tastes. once i am skinny, we will see if i think that skinny tastes better than bacon, icecream, cake, sandwiches, avocados, margaritas...

I weighed myself Sunday and still at the same weight, so that's a big plus for me.
?Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.? ~Johann von GoetheEh. I weighed myself on Sunday with the Wii and was down 4 pounds, BUT I was up a LOT last time and got pissed to stopped doing it for a week. So, I guess I am still just flucuating the same 5 pounds as per my normal. AF is here this week, so now I am sort of afraid to weigh in again. As of right now, there is no food in the house (H is going out of state and I haven't grocery shopped) so we aren't eating the best over the past few days, but it'll shape up by the weekend hopefully.
This week was a bust. Because of DH's birthday we ate horribly all weekend and that has kind of carried over into this week until the leftovers are gone. Plus I made DH a german chocolate cake for his birthday and of course AF has been visiting. blah...
We did do some yard work and walked a lot, but my exercise really suffered too.
There is always next week.

IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
Haven't weighed myself since brother disowned me and we stopped the biggest loser bet.
However, here's my log from last week:
Wednesday: biked 7 miles
Saturday: swam 550 (.3 miles)
Sunday: biked 7 miles
Tuesday: ran/walked 2 miles AND swam 750 (.5 miles)
Today is a rest day, which is good, I'm a sore monkey

You're kicking ass Misty! Good work!
Still no movement from your bro?
Shauni took my quote - even though I'm not really sure I agree with it 100%, it still makes me pause sometimes before stuffing my face.
I felt like I lost weight, but the scale we were using at DH's work - I refuse to keep on in the house - was stolen (I know...WTF?!) so we had to weigh in at GNC. It told me I was up like 1.5 lbs.
I'm sure it's just a difference between scales, but it's a bummer finding out I weigh more than I thought I did. On the brighter side, today I tried to fit into a size smaller jeans and they fit!!! Granted, they are like my largest pair this size, but dang it, I'm considering it a victory.
keep it up ladies! At least we are making a conscious effort to take some better steps!!!
