Good Morning ladies,

It took me a while to catch up on the posts, and I think I only missed out for 3 days! That is great, lots of encouragement and discussion is going on.

I am starting the Boot Camp Mentality today! I have been giving in to the evil temptation of Chocolate Easter Candy that someone brought to work and I'm not going to anymore. That has really been my weakness and of course I justify it because this has been a crazy busy stress filled week at work. No excuses though - we all know that it is just a mind game and my mind is made up.

My goal is 20 pounds during boot camp and to exercise daily and get in all my water.

Ready - set - go = SUCCESS:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Thanks for stepping up to be the leader Tann.

Later,

It's time to get geared up:boxing: this month is wrapping up and a New:humble: Month is starting Sunday:first: So whatever junk food you are eating or think about eating it better be all gone come SUNDAY.

:director: We want to be a success for ourselves and our loved ones. People are counting on us to succeed. We need to succeed.

Remember to get off and from around the couch:behindsofa: this weekend and do some type of :banana :D

SEE YA LATER:biggrin1:

I think I forgot to post that I actually called and cancelled my fill appt for Friday...I dont know why but all of a sudden for the last few days I was feeling really tight and couldnt hardly eat anything and a few pounds started coming off again so I was scared to go in and get any more of a fill after thinking about it for months...It is just so strange how the band reacts...I think that I scared it with the threat of another fill and it decided to be good for a while...So I will actually be happy to step on that scale in the morning for my weekly weigh in this time I think cuz it actually might move

Avilla, I hope your scale gives you a lower number in the morning:biggrin1:

I get on the scale in the morning too. I need to fess up I ate off program for 1/2 day Thursday and ALL day Friday:eek: the closest thing I had of a meal Friday was a 1/4 bowl of cereal. The rest was junk. A piece of blackberry pie, 1/2 a donut, milk and popcorn and a piece of candy. I still feel kinda sick from all that sugar:faint: I'm back on program today. So if the scale goes up, it's my own bad choices that put me there:cry I'll report in - in the morning:tired

I have been blowing it all week.... I can't seem to get back on track :help:

I need some suggestions for a 15 minuite activity to divert me from the fridge or pantry.... like when I want a snack go and brush my teeth (been doing that) any ideas?????

I always try to think of a room or area that needs a quick clean up....Or going around picking up clothes that the boys throw around...But I have been doing good all week with my food until today...My husband bought me 2 yogart parfaits from Mcdonalds for breakfast (of course I ate them both)...Then I went to the store and bought stuff to make some home made ones for a couple lunches this week...I found some things on the canned fruit isle that already have the fruit and yogart in a cup so I bought those and some granola to go on top...So, I had a mini parfait for lunch and an egg roll...And we are planning ribs, baked beans, egg salad for dinner...I already know that I cant do well eating ribs and this is a good thing...So I might be most of 1 down and a little egg salad...I have been getting so full so fast lately so I never know from meal to meal how I am going to do...So we will see...Still keeping my fingers crossed for my weigh in tomorrow....Even tho I feel like I have done bad today I guess I really havent cuz if you break it down its only yogart, fruit, couple pinches of granola and a chicken egg roll...But the scale might decide different tomorrow

Oh Lawd, I gained a pound:cry ....off to add a pound to all my numbers:faint:

Ok people!!!!! I got a new ticker...I am so excited!!! Taking into consideration me same few lbs that I kept gaining and losing that puts me at a 5 lb loss for this past week....I hope that it continutes...I really need to be at about 70 lbs before our new uniforms come in or I am going to be miserable...Wish me lots of luck...Sending lots of hugs to everyone

I want to join boot camp again and recommit. I went to the Domincan Republic last week and we stayed at an all inclusive resort. All food and drinks were included. It was a lovely setting. I used the treadmill and went to there water aerobics classes two times. I had a hard time with some of the food (a lot of stringy mystery meat) and actually threw up once. That was not fun! Anyway, I managed to mantain my weight and not gain, with a lot of temptation around. I guess that is good. Right? I'm tired of this plateau and guess that I must recommit to measuring and increasing my exercise. I am reporting in at 187 and hope that this go around I can do better!

How is everyone doing????

Eating

Water

Exercise

B: greentea

L: egg salad w/2 cherry tomatoes

D: protein shake (planned)

2 mile walk (planned)

Water: 40 oz & counting

I'm doing great so far, aiming for 3-5 pounds this week:huytsao

I saw on the Discovery Health channel that when you walk make sure to do at least 2 miles because that's when the fat (or something, I can't remember) starts to burn. I plan on doing at least 2 miles today on our nature trail.

B - inside of a breakfast burrito (egg and sausage)

L- Chicken Salad & Carrots

D - ??

Exercise - Lunchtime Cardio and afterwork Swim

Water - 23 oz so far

I really wanted to start my early morning stretching (yoga) this morning but I didn't get up, so that is the plan for tomorrow.

I lost my mind on Saturday and ate 2 Snickers Ice Cream Bars and an Ice Cream Sandwich - CRAZY - have I mentioned lately that I need Diet Therapy!!

Oh well, as we sing at church - it's a New Day, a New, New Day -

Good afternoon everyone! I started m/e today and hoping to pull some big numbers. I went to the doc Friday and he and the nurse were very happy with my progress! I don't go back to see him until June 1st so by then, I should be at my mini goal. Actually if my trend continues, I will reach it far before then. :biggrin1:

Avilla I am so excited to see your ticker!! That is fantastic! Keep it up and you will be at 70 lbs. lost in no time! :clap2:

I'm sorry to hear that some are struggling but like Tann said, it's a new month so let's commit to succeed this month. Convincing yourself that you can do it is half the battle (at least for me it is).

Thank you, I am working so hard and its about to kill me...lol

Today:

20 oz orange water

8 oz chocolate whey (breakfast)

1 cup fruit parfait (lunch)

meat patty with a slice of cheese (planned dinner)

12 runs and 17 walks around the yard (trying to stay ahead of my son that keeps trying to out do me)

Can I join the boot camp? I know that it is a little late in the game, but I am trying to get back on the band wagon (pun intended) after my first fill in 3 years.

My main goal is to get the exercise in. I have 2 kids under 5 and I am a nursing student which gives me lots of excuses to use NOT to exercise, so I am trying to commit to myself to get in at least thress 45 minute cardio sessions a week for now. Once I make it 21 days with that, I will add in strength training.

I lost 75-80 lbs before getting pregnant and in the last 3 years (pregnancy and breastfeeding) with no fill, I have gained 50 of that back! Eeekk! With summer coming up I will have more time, but I want to get my momentum going before I crash and burn after finals.
