Good morning Goalgetters!
I was glad melissa did a roll call.It is kind of depressing when you get on and no one is there or have been there.I guess we depend on each other more than we know.I don't know how most of you are but I have not been able to look at myself in mirrors in stores and stuff.I always glance up and see how big I am and move away because I am so disgusting.After bowling last night dh wanted Taco bell(:bcb_mad2) So I went in with him to pick it up and they had there mirror up.I started to look away and then I looked and thought Hey I'm not near as fat anymore.I actually looked at myself for a few minutes.I noticed they have a new menu that list calories and fat grams there to so the choices are getting better.
Any way I am taking dgd and daycare kids to the local movies.They show free movies 3 days a week.They are a little older I think today's is The Water horse.I haven't seen it so this should be fun.
I have to stay away from the popcorn though it is my weakness.
Have a great op day.:bcb_march:bcb_march
Drink your water everyone our bodies really need it now!

Barbara, I completely know what you're talking about, I love seeing the new me in store windows. I remember how shocking it was the first time I decided I looked OK in my running shorts :bcb_grin

I have just been craving water lately. I filled my 20oz up so many times yesterday I lost count. In the afternoon I started to get a second diet coke but realized I'd rather have water. Maybe it is the heat.

Last night I got in a bit of a fussy mood w/ DH (100% his fault of course, I'll leave out the rant) and ended up throwing a cleaning tantrum (am I the only one that feels the urge to clean when P.O.ed?) so I didn't get my cardio in. But I was perfectly on plan on core.

Tonight is strength training, the A workout w/ the Body Weight matrix at the end that will probably be put off until tomorrow if I'm too beat after the first half of the workout.

Good Morning Ladies,

Hi Barbara I have been guilty of not checking in as much lately. Even though I've been super busy, I still need to take a few minutes each day to check in. You are so right, we need each other on this journey. Enjoy the movies today.

I have been doing very good with my exercise. I've been going to Stone Mtn at 6:30 am to get my walk in before it heats up. I've also been trying to stick to Core this week but I haven't been getting in all of my healthy 8s. Today I'm focusing more on getting those in. It's just been so hot here that I don't want to think about cooking or eating.

Have a great Wednesday everyone.

Gosh Barb!
You brought tears to my eyes (not hormones) I honestly felt like I was the only person that felt that way. I can so relate. We are all sisters/comrades in this battle to lose. Thank you for sharing your heart with us. I am so glad that you are seeing victories in your life over the mirror. That is wonderful. Way to Go! :bcb_bravo
I am so happy for you, hang in, post it and we will be here to cheer you on and cheer with you!
I don't know how most of you are but I have not been able to look at myself in mirrors in stores and stuff.I always glance up and see how big I am and move away because I am so disgusting.
Blessings,
Melissa

Yes Barb!! I stayed away from mirrors and pictures. I told DH a few months ago that I was finally ready to take a family portrait. He has been hounding me for months on end and I always said,"wait until I get to goal" but I am so ready now. I can actually stand to look at myself in the mirror!!

Sheila: I feel you on the heat. I don't even want to cook anything. How did your wi go Friday? I didn't wi because I was out of town, but I am sure it probably wasn't anything desirable. I am in the same rut I was in 20lbs ago in the 180s. I just couldn't get motivated enough to get out. I got so close to 162 point something and it has gone up from there. I took a quick peek and I am still in the 160s but way past the middle mark.

Christen: I am the same way with cleaning when I am angry!! I will get up in the middle of the night sometimes and just start scrubbing the bathroom. I haven't been running lately. My knee has been giving me some problems so I have really just been following Power 90. I hope to successfully make my 26 workouts this month and see if I have lost any inches. I know my food intake is probably going to be the culprit if I have not been successful.

Power 90 is a huge change for me. It is slower paced and I don't really earn alot of APs. Maybe 3 with the cardio and maybe 2 with the sculpt workouts which is about 15APs for the week. I usually earn about 35-40 a week so I decided I would see how this worked for the first 30 days and then see if I needed to add anything to it. I am doing better with my food intake, but still not totally focused just yet. DH and I went for a walk last night with the kids and it felt really good. I just can't wait to get my focus back totally!

When I went home this weekend, everyone at the party was saying if I lose anymore weight I will look sick. I hate hearing that, but I also know that I am not at a healthy weight and I still have a lot of fat to get rid of. Maybe I should walk around naked and see if they still agree that I would look sick!:bcb_grin:bcb_grin

good evening ladies,

So far so good staying OP today! I was good yesterday up until night time snacking!! AARRRGGGHHH!!! :bcb_mad2 I could just scream, it feels like i'm just too tired to care at night so I just eat and have no reason to! I need to get rid of all the chips and pita chips in the house. (too bad I can't because i'm not the only one who lives here)! FRUSTRATING!! I have no time to exercise today, DS has a baseball game tonight. Maybe, if i'm not too tired I can go to the gym tonight, who knows. I'm just excited that there is only 4 1/2 mroe days of school then I can focus on me, clean my room, exercise more, plan my meals, hike, swim. I can't wait!!!

Nikki: My mom is going through the same thing at work. They tell her that she is losing too much weight, but she still has 25 more lbs to go until she gets to her goal weight and she still has a gut. When people tell me that I look great I think to myself "Well you should see me naked!!" LMAO! Don't worry about what others are saying, you stop losing when you feel good and you get to YOUR goal weight that you are happy at! You're doing great woman, don't let anyone get in your way!!! XOXO

Barb: I have avoided several mirrors in my lifetime. Lately I don't feel too bad looking in one and I actually like taking my picture again. I used to LOVE getting my picture taken, but the past few years I've shyed away from the camera. I"m starting to look thinner in my pics, so i'm enjoying it again! YAY!!! I get a little disappointed when i'm ready to come on and post to my BCB buddies and the thread is so dead, so hopefully the roll call and as many of us posting more often, will liven up the thread again! I was so excited yesterday to post and read that there were 10 posts. :bcb_bigsm

Sheila: Hey girl. Glad to hear that you're doing so well with your exercise. Wish I could say that same. It's hot and miserable here the past few days and i'm so busy and tired I have no desire to do anything. I will make sure that changes as soon as school is out and i have time to breathe! How is the night time snacking going for you? We need to focus on our night time challenge, i'm struggling still!!!

Christen: I"ve been drinking a ton of water lately and i love it. I've had a pepsi or too, but never can finish it and just want water instead. That's a great change for me! I used to drink a few pepsi's a day. I hate diet soda, so avoiding soda all together is a huge success for me! I may have 2-3 during an entire week now! I drink water 24/7...this week it's been 10-12 glasses a day!

Well I've gotta run if I"m going to get DS to baseball on time. HAve a great evening and a great OP day tomorrow! XOXO

Uggg, sorry so late checking in. The day before WI and I BLEW it. I had 26 pts today.... and yall know my weight typically jumps when I try to use any WPA's. I am going to try not to let it bother me because I know that even though it was bad timing, truthfully it should be back down in a couple of days. I just hate it was right before WI. I had to work late tonight and it wouldn't have been a great day as I was at 23 pts (2 pts over goal) when my boss decided to leave an open bag of funions (?). The night got long and BORING and just one turned into the rest of the bag which according to the NI was 3 more pts.
