Onto June

I've got lots of work to do with a trip coming up at the end of the month, and maybe a beach trip in July. I've been doing pretty bad since Hannah's b-day 3 weeks ago. EEK

Hey girls. We started Carter in a Summer running program today. He had a great time. It is 3 times a week Mon, Wed and Friday for an hour an a half. They are teaching them how to run, very non competitve and fun. He did really well. Everyone was twice his size and he hung right in there. Riley was a handful though so I have to figure out what to do with her during that time. I am going to join the Y this week. Just decided yesterday. I think tomorrow? I will go workout while Carter is doing his program and Riley can go to the nursery. I think it will be good for all of us.

I won't be on much this week. We have VBS at church which I am working and we provide a meal for our workers beforehand. Darren is out of town Today through Wed so I have to be mom and dad. We have tons of appts this week too. Trying to fit it all in....UGh!

I am going out to relax int he sun a bit now while Riley is napping and Carter is playing. Talk to you girls later!

By the way...Steph I am thinking of you!! Big Hugs!!!

Jenna - You can do 1lbs. Lots of water and have a big yummy salad this week. Park a bit farther at work and take the stairs when given the choice. You will have that pound off in no time.

I have not been on here alot lately, but been trying to keep up with ya'll! I have not lost any weight but have not gained any either. May was just such a busy month for us. I do want to lose at least 5 to 10 lbs before our beach trip which is July 9th. Ohhhhh, I can't wait!!

Jenna- GL on your 1 lb!!! You can do it girlie!!!

Hey all

I havent weighed in yet and it has been a couple weeks...I am scared that I havent lost anything so i just don't look. I guess that is why I havent even owned a scale for the last 5 years.

I am checking in during work b/c I want a candy bar sooooo bad and I knew if I came in here and saw how everyone is doing I would eat my banana instead and it worked...I hate bananas but oh well much better for me.

Everyone is going so well, you all are such an inspiration - THis totally helps.

Rachel, wanna know one of my secrets? (I have those weeks where I'm afraid to weigh-in too). I don't chart weight going up. If last week I was 222, and this week I was 222.5, I would chart it as no change. That way, I don't feel bad about it going up, and get that much more satisfaction when it goes down next time, cause I know I actually lost a little extra. I also round. I round the number to the nearest whole pound. I don't know if it would work for everyone, but it works for me. It makes me much happier to see whole pounds or none at all than to see fractions of pounds. But that might come from having so much to loose...when you start at 82lbs, what's .4lbs? Your brain plays psychological games with you while weighing-in and dieting or whatever; I say, play back and whoop its butt!

And no avoiding the thread...that's why it's here! To help you kick butt, or to kick your butt when you're falling down, or to pick you up after you've fallen down. No avoiding us!!!

Oh, and for the most part, I've been doing well with the smoking cut-down. My toughest time is going to be at home alone in the evenings. I've made a decision that I'm not going to take cigarettes with me anywhere, which will cut out smoking in the car. Have one or two in the morning when I'm 'coming to', then none again until I get home at night. I used to do it all the time years ago; not smoke during the day. So, I'm not sure what the next step after that is. I might not make my June 20th goal (life's pinhair turns while trying to quit smoking is not helpful), but if I can be just down to one or two a day by then, maybe one morning and one nighttime, I'll be satisfied. Cause it's babyfood to go from one or two a day to none a day.

And I can't believe I'm at the weights I 'remember'. When I was 20, 21, I rmember being 194-197lbs. At 197 now, it feels kinda weird.

Sticking with my push ups. Still doing 15 at night, and 10 in the morning. There've been a FEW times where I've forgotten one or the other in the past week, maybe three times only, so I'm okay with that.

Supposed to start the month long Zumba class tonight...I don't know if I have the energy. It's twice a week for four or five weeks. Gail can only do the Thursday classes, and I'd need to be on the move to get there in time tonight. And my mother annoyed me the other day. BUT, it would be something to do...*sigh*
