Good morning!

My new DVD's are on their way, they'll be here Monday. Can't wait!!

Last night after I finished supper, I had 3.5 points LEFT. Now how did that happen. I had dessert! Becky had brought me some buckeyes when we met over the weekend and I had 3 of them. I made them last Christmas and had figured the nut. value and they come out to 1 pt apiece. I enjoyed my day yesterday!

KickMax is on the schedule today.

Have a good one!
 
Hi Jane...... We are having storms and dogs are freaking out...Whats your EXCUSE for being up at 2am????

Heavy Cardio Yesterday.... WI Today DOWN .4:) I was expecting a bit of gain actually due to wt training.... I also see that I was 25 points shy of my weekly target for losing wt......URRRRRRRRR I thought I was on track all week!

Today is FINALLY a rest day (11 on this cycle).... I have a really heavy legs day saturday so I am taking full advantage of the rest.... Oh yes its also FREE FOR ALL DAY!!!!!!!!! WooHoo!!!!!!!!!! I may have to make myself a REAL burger!!

Have to go read yesterday posts.... Have a great morning all!
 
Good morning Traci... I woke up at 3:40 and my clock was set for 4 anyway so I went ahead and got up. Working some extra this week, we are way behind!

WOOHOO on the downward slide of the scale Traci! I'm also down from when I "officially" weighed in on my scale on Tuesday morning. I am actually down 2 1/2 pounds since Tuesday. That's a pretty big drop but we all know how wildly weight can fluctuate sometimes.
 
Good morning,

I've been MIA the last couple of days, but I see you all have been doing terrific, as usual.

Traci - great job on losing .4!! And your workout yesterday was a marathon in disguise. No wonder you have so many APs leftover!!

Jane - Aaaaah, new workouts on Monday! You lucky woman! That should help you feel better after the deer-meets-truck incident. I'm so glad you weren't hurt. When do you get your vehicle back?

I've been having a rough week, and I suppose this is the place to talk about it. Funny - I never feel like talking at the times I should most do it. Anyway, something hormonal is happening this week, and I think it's related to weaning the baby 2 weeks ago. Last weekend I started to feel very fatigued and just generally off. Then my breasts started to really hurt, similar to when you first get pregnant. Except, I'm 99.5% sure that I'm not pregnant. Then I developed lumps in my breasts, similar to plugged ducts. It can take about a week or so to plugged ducts to go away, as long as they don't develop into mastitis, which is an infection that requires antibiotics. So, I'm just hoping things don't come to that. I've struggled with my workouts all week, but have modified them to suit my energy level every day. I finally just took yesterday off altogether, after struggling through PowerMax on Wednesday. I have better energy today.

The problem, for me, becomes compounded by the fact that my mother arrived on Wednesday to stay with us for a week. This is a good thing. Except that, when my mother's around (it only happens about three times a year), I want home cooking! So, on my "rest" day yesterday, I ended up eating a sizeable amount of home made apple dumplings and vanilla ice cream. It was delicious, and I enjoyed every bite, and the struggle now is to not beat myself up about this. Now I feel like I need to go do a workout to end all workouts, which the rational part of my brain tells me is not a healthy outlook, and probably inadvisable given all my hormonal troubles this week.

Okay, this is becoming a very long book, and I need to go do some academic work before the rest of the household wakes up. I don't know what workout is on tap for today. I'll have to decide that when the time comes, and go by how I'm feeling.

Have a good day. I'm sure I'll be feeling better once this week is over, and my hormones have readjusted to their non-maternal state. My goal in the mean time is not to make any major decisions that I will regret later.

I am so sorry about all you are having to go thru right now.
First- Please be proud of yourself for taking it a bit easier this week w/ your workouts...we all keep forgeting that most WW'ers do minimal if any exercise. We are not the norm! We are EXTRAORDINARY! Going against what our bodies are telling us is never a good thing. Hormones can be BRUTAL and we need to learn what lessons they have for us about slowing down (just my opinion)

Second- I bet you anything that your body will respond quite well this week / next week to increase in PTs/Cal.... Its still "shocking" the system when we change patterns....Most of us have talked about our amazement onlosing wt / maintaining while on vacations. ITS ALL GOOD! No beating self up OK?????

I can promise you if I had my mom here with me (shes 3000 miles away) I'd feel very blessed to be cooking yummy stuff in my kitchen! Its a time for you two to share, be together and enjoy all those fleeting moments in life. If that means you cant check in w/ us much NO WORRIES!

We all are here for you Sandra.... Have a wonderful visit with your mom!!!!!!!!:)
 
Good Morning!!

Traci - Good job on the weight loss.

Jane - {hugs}.

I almost didn't weigh in this morning knowing that I'd be up due to PMS and I was up a couple of pounds. Trying to put it in perspective.

My ankle has been bothering me a bit. Maybe too much running. I'm going to do Lowmax this morning. I think another day of low/no impact will help.

Going to try not to let PMS get the best of me. I don't know why some months it really doesn't bother me and some months I have a horrible time with depression, overeating, crankiness, etc. Unfortuntely having one of those bad ones this time. Poor DH, he's just trying to stay out of the way. (I even think my dog is scared, lol.)

Have a good day.

Hi everyone -
WI this morning - down .2 - I'll take any downward movement :). Back is still a bit fatigued, but overall much better. Ankle is good too, I just need to watch it over the next few days, make sure I don't overdo.

Last night I got Cardio Coach 4 done at the gym - I must say I'm really enjoying my gym membership. DH & DD have dropped out of the regular visits so I usually go alone, but I'm there two - three times a week which is what I had planned for. Plus my gym is really small - lots of times, I'm the only one there so no waiting for equipment or worrying about who that creepy guy is watching you.

Traci - thank you for reminding me that's it's ok to have a free day. I got home from grocery shopping and I started taking bites of this and that. Of course I broke out the PB, had an oreo, indulged in some grapes, a graham cracker, and a few slices of the deli meat I bought. Then I started beating myself up about it. But I've been great all week and every now and then I deserve a free day. I feel much better now that I've given myself permission to pig out. Funny - now I don't feel much like eating anything, is there a psychological component to this? Hmmmm.......

Sandra - I was getting a little worried about you. {{{{HUGS}}}}Hormones have a way of totally turning us upside down and inside out so take a deep breath, let your body recover from this latest upheaval and enjoy that home cooking!

Jane - isn't it great on those rare occassions when you have unused points? I love that feeling of "OHHH, what can I eat now :9". Those Buckeyes sound delicious!

Buffy - Sounds like you could you some {{{{HUGS}}}} too. Hang in there. Take care of that ankle.

I should get some work done too so I'm signing off for now. Have a happy Friday everyone!!

I can't believe that it's this late and no one else is around!

Anyway, WI was okay....down .5 which I am happy with, measurements were the same. I ended up not doing any Imax yesterday, I just didn't feel like it.

Traci- Great job on the loss, and the points! I hope that you have a great day tomorrow!
Sandra- lots of squishy hugs to you (careful of the bresticles). Just know that we are here for you and I hope that you enjoy your time with Mom!
Claude- Great job on the loss....and the gym thing. I always liked it when I was able to get to the gym and it was empty! Keep taking care of the back and ankle!
Jane- Also, great job on the loss! It's amazing how much we can truly eat and enjoy on vacations and still lose!

I am off to MM in my new Rykas! I was able to get ahold of some Enlight II's and they feel great! I may not even need my ankle supports in them....we'll see!
 
Sandra - {{{{HUGS}}}} to you.... I couldn't have said it any better than Traci did. Give yourself a break and remember there is something to zigzag eating, I still employ this into my WW program. Enjoy that apple dumpling with ice cream.. YUM... I enjoyed every drop of mine up in the Columbus, heck, I about ate the bowl... I was turning the bowl up to get every drop of melted ice cream... DH was rather embarassed for me! :+ I didn't care! Enjoy your mom this week and all that wonderful cooking so you can hold onto that when she leaves to go home. The hormonal thing will pass, I had the same problem as well as the tight breasts, etc... I breastfed my two. Check in or don't depending on how you feel and how much time you have. I know with your mom there, the children, and your academic work, you can get spread a little thin. Give yourself a break, we'll be here when you need to talk.

In answer to your question, it looks like my vehicle will be done the end of next week. We will go up next Saturday to get it. $6,500 worth of damage:eek: :eek: Thank goodness I have only a $250 deductible.


Buffy - I hear you, some months it gets me and some months it doesn't. I have a terrible time controlling my eating during midcycle....

Claude - I love those times when you discover... oohhh I have 3 points left, now let's see.... I had another buckeye tonight but only one, I had to go into 1 flex point for it but it was worth it and I've only used 4 flexies since my "week" started on Wednesday. There was a time when I'd have sat down and eat the entire container. I'm glad WW is giving me the tools to maintain control. Congrats on the downward movement of the scale... as long as it is going down right!!

Have a great Friday night!


Amy - thanks.... and congrats on your weight loss.
