To be honest...i don't really care if i get the job or not,i mean I start school mext monday I will be very busy with that and along with everything else I do around here:confused: I just don't want to embarress myself:eek: Ive already thought about what I was going to say with all the questions they ask....

Hey to everybody...I will BB after the day comes down abit! Not sure what workout im doing today? I know for sure a dogwalk when i get back! Maybe some LB

I loved The Biggest Loser last night...I can relate to those people;) use to be morbitly obese myself...but im not anymore:D(and trying not to sound like a horses but when I say that:))

Hello Ladies.

Amelia, lucky you! Congradulations 3lbs down. :D:D Well done!
Good luck today. You know I think you are awesome (your weight loss journey) so I'm NOT TELLIN" YA AGAIN!;);):D

Jean - I'm doing more hours at work for a couple of reasons, one is because I want (not need) the money. The other is that we are trialing a unit at work. So I've been nominated to join. The hours will be more weekend and twilight/afternoon shifts which I actually prefer. I can work weekends and be available for the girls during he week. It won't be every weekend.

Roxie - What day is your weigh in day? Or are you jumping on the things daily?

Andrea - Great to see you checking in AND managing work outs. today was my first day on the Whey Powder and I'm feeling O.K (not hungry) now. I've just got to get through the night. Wanna join me on the Protein thing?

Todays workout was day two of jari rotation. Ripped 1000. Its a tough workout when you use two risers and up those weights. Whew!

My three year old today said something sooooo funny. We are driving along she's chatting away, asking me questions that have no answer :confused: (Aren't those ones great) When she looks at me earnestly, blinks her blue eyes, "you know, Mum, boys have penis's so that they can do their wees" Talk about outta left field! Where did THAT come from?? She got most upset when i laughed. :D:D
 
Good Morning,

Tonite is L&G and ME abs. When I weighed myself monday I was up 2lbs. I did step on the scale this morning and I was back down 1 of those lbs but my rings still are tight so I know it is fluid still not drinking enough water.

Amelia-good luck today on your interview and congrats on the weight loss.

Andrea-that is so funny your 3 year old is way to cute.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Hi everyone.

Amelia, way to go on the loss. I found 2 of those pounds, but I'm pretty sure you don't want them back. I plan on destroying them so no one else will find them. Good luck with the interview.

Andrea, What does your protein plan consist of. (replacing 2 meals?). I'm giving my replacements a try this week. I know I won't use it for every breakfast and lunch, but I'm hoping to replace most of them. I only bought a week's worth so I'll have to make a trip back to the gym to get more.

Hi Andrea, Elaine and Roxie.

Edited:
Hi Roxie, you snuck in on me. Drink lots of water today to flush your system.

Today was short jog with the dogs. I took both at the same time so it is almost an upper body workout too. Wanted to do more, but once I got home with them, my tummy was complaining. Maybe I'll squeeze something else in later.

Jean
 
Good morning. Managed some situps during Biggest Loser last night (had a challenge w/ the kids), but that's it. Had a food meltdown courtesy of my foul mood (which seems to be taking up permanent residence).

The one thing I CAN say for BL, though is that it motivated me to get my butt up and REALLY work this morning. Did LIC - only 2 circuits, cuz I ran out of time, but I really pushed. Was dripping when I was done :D Now if it will have the same effect on the clean eating...

Amelia, good luck w/ the interview today. I'm sure you will do fine. Congrats on the loss!

Andrea, I think I'm gonna pass on the protein thing. I know from past experience that drinking a meal just doesn't work for me AT ALL. After this weekend (I'll be away) I might do South Beach Phase I (no fruits, lotsa veggies) to get my sugar issues under control. We'll see. Your DD is TOO cute.

Hi Roxie, Jean, Elaine, and anyone else who stops in.

Time for me to think about getting to work. If I finish my report this morning I may take the rest of the day off. Hmmm...motivation...gotta run! Enjoy the rest of the day.
 
OH MY GOSH I GOT IT:eek:
Yep...im the new front office clerical clerk at a doctors office in a near by town!:D Of course the job is only for saturdays and if they need me during the week...but I DON"T CARE...I GOT IT! WhOOHOOOOOO!

Im still not sure what im doing today? I may take a rest day,I may do some cardio(thinking Rythmic step) or some LB(my own stuff)..mmmm I just don't know yet!

OK...I will BBL with some personals...just wanted to tell you guys the big news!
 
Amelia - WEll DONE!! Huge Hugs Congradulations!:cool::cool::cool:

I agree with Andrea you don't need to do any cardio, you've done it!

Jean - I'm replacing 2 meals per day. I think I've only bought enough for a week too. But I wasn't going to shop up on the stuff, if I didn't like it or if its not a programm that is going to work for ME. As Andrea said in her post. But yesturday I made it!!!AND to top it ALL off,

ROXIE - I got through the whole night! And I was sleepless in seattle again, up and down ALL night and didn't visit the pantry - NOT ONCE! Yeah!

Congrats Amelia

Congrats Andrea for staying away from the pantry.

Jean-I really don't like cardio kicks her other kickboxing ones are better.

Walked around the mall for 15min over my lunch hour think I will do it tomarrow to only wear my pedometer.
 
Wow, we need some shout outs for accomplishments:

Amelia, Way to GO, Ms. Front Office Clerk. I'm so glad you got the job. Sounds like it will still work with your schedule too.

Andrea H. congrats on the motivation. Let's keep the momentum going. Did you think that the trainers were too mean on BL? I only watched part of it, but it looked like they were meaner than previous years. They seemed really hard on the contestants.

Andrea (idream) Congrats on avoiding the pantry. Hope you got some sleep tonight. I managed my replacements today too. I did have 2 snacks while working on a project, but they weren't too bad(almonds and pretzels).

Roxie, glad to hear you got your cardio in. Sorry to hear you didn't like it. Thanks for the opinion.

Jean
 
Jean, I thought Jillian was pretty mean, but she always seems meaner than Bob. I have mixed feelings about the drill sergeant thing, though. Sometimes people need the wake-up call and it's not like they didn't know what they were signing up for...
