Angel220 Posts: 101 Joined: 2006/05/31	2006/08/17, 08:58 PM Progress finally... It's 7:45 and I am still full of energy. That has not happened all week. Not gonna work out just yet though. I'm gonna do my lesson plans for next week and get ahead a little first. After tonight....I am refusing to bring work home for at least a month! Because....I WILL workout as scheduled!!! My hubby brought me takeout from a lil Mexican place tonight, a chicken burito...and I ate almost ALL of it. (It is a huge one, the biggest I ever saw, we usually split it.) I think that is the most I have eaten in one sitting in weeks! Several people at work have noticed that I lost weight. One father of a student I taught last year could even tell me that last year I was a size 10....but this year an 8...hahaha! He is nothing but a big flirt! But, I know I still need to stay on track and loose some more. I really hope to get back to the working out this weekend. Hope you guys are keeping up the great work....even though I have been slacking.

KC_72 Posts: 3,249 Joined: 2006/05/19	2006/08/18, 08:26 AM I was doing so well....then yesterday happened!I didn't eat bad stuff...I just ate!!My measuremants aren't so hot..but here goes: arm 11.8 same chest 33 -.5 back 33.7 -.3 waist 30 -.5 pelvis 34.2 -.3 hip 36.8 same leg 21.9 same For a total loss of 1.6 inches...not great...I'm hoping to get my waist under 30 next week.My waist and pelvis are always trouble...even at my thinnest my waist was never smaller than 26 inches...and my poochy abdomin is awful.I'm just tall enough that I can get away with alot though. That's a good plan to get ahead and not take work home....I do feel for your teachers...it must be a calling to teach...I would have those kids tied up praying for the end of the day!!!You'll get back on track soon...as long as you don't start gaining what you've lost we're in good shape!!I'm sure you're right about our little Aaron...miss him though!:)
KC_72 Posts: 3,249 Joined: 2006/05/19	2006/08/18, 10:10 AM I did it!!! I added 10 pounds to my weights today.It took forever and I had to lower my reps from 8 to 6...I could tell I was going to do a number on my back if I didn't pay real close attention to what I was doing.After next week I'll work on getting my reps back up...then putting more weight on the bar!! How are you doing dna...haven't heard from you.
dna_roberts Posts: 30 Joined: 2006/08/08	2006/08/18, 10:25 AM Hey guys sorry i hadn't posted in a couple of days or so. KC I have been still trying to study up on the PCOS deal I don't know much about it really. I talked to a GYN personally on the phone yesterday. He told me that in due time that if treatment plan doesn't happen it can turn to cancer shivers with fear I am trying to get into a GYN for it but they are soooo expencive. ANyways enough of that lol i walked both yesterday and this morning. I feel really good about it all :) I'll get back with you guys later cause i may go do some more laps hehe it's suppose to be another scorcher today here in the Lone Star State. Everyone have a great day today.

dna_roberts Posts: 30 Joined: 2006/08/08	2006/08/18, 12:10 PM lol Amen to that KC i'm fine just as long as another RITA doesn't come my way. lol that was some scary stuff when you have a 20 ft tall tree next to your home and it's touching the ground on either side. I see the breeze blowing looks like a great opurtunity to go walking but wished it would rain soon.
Angel220 Posts: 101 Joined: 2006/05/31	2006/08/18, 07:11 PM OK, this is the 3rd week in a row that my tape has been at my Mom's. You would think I would have remembered to get it by now...but this is not the case. The scale says 130. But I have not done much working out this week. I will get back on track tonight!!! Going shopping tonight and I will pick up a new tape myself. After shopping, I will workout. Hubby says he will lift with me tonight...hahaha! We shall see. Sounds like you are doing well KC. Still going in the right direction! Progress, Progress, Progress!!! Great Job, Keep it up!
dna_roberts Posts: 30 Joined: 2006/08/08	2006/08/20, 04:43 AM I got a jump rope Friday and I'm going to try it out today sometime or another. It came with a workout video and since I like to jump rope i thought it would be good for me to do. :)
Angel220 Posts: 101 Joined: 2006/05/31	2006/08/20, 09:59 AM wow dna, that sounds great! I have not jumped rope in years. I might just have to have a jump rope contest with my kids. hahah!
Angel220 Posts: 101 Joined: 2006/05/31	2006/08/20, 10:01 AM ok guys....im really slacking. I did my weights workout Fri., ran Sat. evening. But....yesterday was my sons bday. I had chocolate cake for breakfast. That is soooo not like me.?.
KC_72 Posts: 3,249 Joined: 2006/05/19	2006/08/21, 08:25 AM Well it's just like me Angel!!!Chocolate cake for breakfast seems like the breakfast of champions...remember that old skit from Bill Cosby...the kids want cake for breakfast and he looks at the ingrediants and says hey...this has milk and eggs...and the kids sing..."Dad is great,he gives us chocolate cake"...cracks me up!! I'm doing an experiment and dropping most of my cardio and going to focus heavily on a weight routine.Did legs yesterday...not bad,my bum is a little sore today.But today is shoulders and I know it's gonna hurt!We'll see how it goes. dna...have fun with the jumprope and let us know how it goes!!
dna_roberts Posts: 30 Joined: 2006/08/08	2006/08/21, 09:33 AM well i got a really big fight with my husband yesterday and so i was lazy and didn't do a thing yesterday. So I will get on track today cause I went walking this morning.
KC_72 Posts: 3,249 Joined: 2006/05/19	2006/08/21, 09:51 AM glad you're on track....next time you and your hubby don't see eye to eye...use that extra steam in your workout...you'll feel better after burning off some anger...and it helps me think of ways I can say "I'm right,your wrong" in a way he understands!!!:big_smile:
dna_roberts Posts: 30 Joined: 2006/08/08	2006/08/22, 01:18 AM yeah lol i know all about that. He can just be so overly jealous. I think he needs to workout lol might do him some good.
KC_72 Posts: 3,249 Joined: 2006/05/19	2006/08/22, 08:13 AM Well guys I'm not doing so good with the food.Not to sure what my deal is the last couple of days I just want to EAT!!!!Driving me nutty!!!It's not that I'm eating bad stuff(well mostly)I'm just eating alot...like I just have to eat.I know in my head I'm not hungry...but the pull to eat is so strong!Anybody know what I'm talking about??I'm going to really focus on not giving in the rest of the week with the hopes that this will blow over!

KC_72 Posts: 3,249 Joined: 2006/05/19	2006/08/22, 09:42 AM We got rid of you!!!!!:big_smile: We've missed you!!!I was just thinking of you when I made the post above...so glad you're back!!!Now you can tell me...what did YOU do when the desire to eat everything in the house hit you!!!You've lost a considerable amount of weight so I figure you know what you're talking about. any way how have you been...haven't heard from you since you conqured phil...everything good?Are you in school??
Angel220 Posts: 101 Joined: 2006/05/31	2006/08/22, 10:48 PM I have been continually hungry too KC. EAT EAT EAT that is all I want to do. I know my problem. I have been getting myself dressed and the boys and getting us off to school, have not eaten breakfast. So....my body stays hungry in the evenings. Now, to fix that problem....will be a challenge. Hello Hello Aaron. I told KC you were busy studying and running cross country. Was I right?
KC_72 Posts: 3,249 Joined: 2006/05/19	2006/08/23, 08:08 AM Well at least your hungry....I just want to eat...it's terrible!!I did a little better yesterday,hoping for more improvement to day.What about just making a quick protien powder shake...or even the cans of slimfast,not an ideal breakfast but something should be better than nothing. Aaron...you ditched out again already??? dna...how's the workouts coming along...did you ever get a chance to pick up those fish oil pills??
AaronWiggles Posts: 129 Joined: 2006/06/06	2006/08/23, 11:14 PM Sorry, Right now all i have been doing is eating, cross country is taking alot out of me, i thought i was in shape but obviously im not. We are usually running about 4 miles a day, and then our first meet is this saturday in Amarillo, wish me luck, get to wear my friggin real cool spikes, Yes Angel I have been studying and running, im in ALL AP classes this year, hoping to get some college hours in, My weight is just fluctuating right now between 160-168 so i guess im happy, I'm going to start running and working out my legs i want them to be real cut and defined lol, I saw this picture of this guy running and his leg is like WOW. lol KC about your question all I did was take bottles of water around with me All day, thats what i'm trying to do now, I drank 2 bottles of water in 3 hours, and thats alot for me. But i was drinking about 2 gallons of water in the summer. Mostly it is self control and restraint, its very difficult, i wish you the best of luck. Most people can't tell the difference in the pains of being thirsty or hungry, so if you think you are hungry take a few drinks of water, and if your still feeling the pains or something you probably need to eat, it would also be benificial to make serving sized snacks so during the day you dont make bad snack decisions, personally i really like to eat gronola, but hey thats me. -------------- -Aaron I feel lighter.

KC_72 Posts: 3,249 Joined: 2006/05/19	2006/08/24, 08:26 AM Sounds good aaron...I'll try the water and stay on top of my snacks!! I have another question for you...my 17yo nephew is on the track team here in San Antonio(do you ever compete against schools here???)He's looking for new track shoes...he wants help from us,but we're not to sure what to get...he's looking at VERY expensive shoes,knowing full well his mother can't afford them(thats another story)...what do you recomend..and where do you buy them??Thanks kiddo!!! Angel and dna...how goes it????
KC_72 Posts: 3,249 Joined: 2006/05/19	2006/08/24, 10:20 AM Angel....I saw an old post from an "officersnyder09" that had your same picture on his post...
AaronWiggles Posts: 129 Joined: 2006/06/06	2006/08/24, 03:23 PM No we dont compete with schools there, maybe when and if we ever go to state. lol. But... if he is looking for spikes i have Nike Kennedy Xc's they are an outside 3-4 mile running spike, if he is a sprinter i would check on eastbay and all that jazz... im not a sprinter or anything so i dont know. the spikes that i got were 80$ or so, but i got the ones that were really cool lookin instead of the stupid blue flame ones. that are exactly the same. so i dont know. If he is just looking for a running shoe, I use the new Nike shoes with the Nike+ ready thing that has the chip i nthe shoe and all that good stuff... Another good shoe is Asics or somethin. If you guys have a RunTex anywhere around there that would be a good place to look, or tell him to ask his coach, Ive been craving Oreo's the past 3 days and i finally had some and they were really good. haha, now i gotta go run 3 miles, wish me luck not to puke up milk and oreos :laugh: -------------- -Aaron I feel lighter.

KC...gonna pick up some breakfast bars to keep in my desk at school for when I dont take the time to eat. That should help something. Maybe even some slimfast drinks for when I skip lunch. OK guys....I just got a new job....quit my old one. What possessed me I do not know....???? Hope it was a good decision...??? Only time will tell. Still not doing great on diet or exercise. I will not like the results I see tomorrow....I am sure of that. Gonna have to get into the swing of things with school.

Angel220 Posts: 101 Joined: 2006/05/31	2006/08/28, 05:48 PM Hey KC....nice to see your pic. Now I guess I need to put one. I missed Friday's check in!!!! I gained. I am really really slippin. Have lots and lots of stuff going on here. Been so busy. And to top it off...got in an arguement with my hubby last Thrus. night. (We never argue, so it was a pretty big deal!!! And I am still upset with him!!!! Anybody read this and interested in spouse swap, let me know.) My new job is in the same school system, but I will be teaching an elementary classroom, instead of middle school math. So, now I am setting up all over again. But I am happy to be with younger kids. Aaron, "I think it was the shoes".... that sounds just like my son. He is 7 and says he is training for the Olympics (also wants to be a cowboy when he grows up) BUT...he always says "its the shoes." haha! He will say, "Mom, he has fast shoes, I want some like that." And there is no convincing him that it has something to do with the legs and feet. hehehe I am gonna sign out now and go workout before I find some other excuse.

But, still would not say I am "in gear." Argueing with hubby has been draining all my energy. I am really not very good at argueing anyway. I guess eventually I'm gonna have to let him make up with me. But not yet! Tonight, I am going to buy a bottle of wine for after the kids go to sleep (for ME not US)! I just got a digital camera, finally retired my 35mm. Tried to upload some pics but could not get them on ????? I thought I did it right.?. Will try again another time.
