happy tuesday!! healthy check in!

[sarack]

buenos dias ladies!!!!

today is my last day of work for a while. sarack is going on vacation! i've been here since 4am. i got off last night after 7pm. i'm kinda tired.. lol.

yesterday wasn't healthy. instead of going to the gym, i went to the mall and bought that pink dress. and 2 pairs of sandals. and 2 undershirts. and a slip (which i'm not sure about...they didn't have a full slip, just a half one.)

i have plans to hit the gym today, but if i can't get there, since i need to pack and drop my dog off at where he'll be staying and tell the person who is watching my place what to do and you know, last minute stuff, i'm going to eat well!

hope everyone does well today! make good choices ladies.

[sarack]

i think i'm up WAYYY too early today. no one is here to play with me.

[Deleted]

Woo hoo for vacation, sarack. This is some much deserved time off. Enjoy!

I think I might actually be crazy. Last night I made cookies for H to take to work and I didn't have any, like not even licking the spoon. Then, I skipped out on trivia and opted for a long work out. Hi, I'm uwhusky and I want to win.

I hope everyone has a great Tuesday!

[sarack]

GO UW!!!

[mkate710]

Nice work UW!

I got in just a long elliptical session at the gym last night. I'm not feeling great this week but I told myself if I could just drag myself to the gym for a little bit I'd feel better. I lasted 45 minutes. DH made me a fantastic dinner after, but still super healthy He's all on board with weight loss with me and has actually dropped about 8 pounds since this challenge started. Jerk. But it's nice to have the support.

I saw the doc about my wrist yesterday, and thankfully it's not broken or anything, just needs to be braced for 6 weeks to heal up. It still hurts to type/write/generally use my arm, and it was super tempting to take a sick day today (and do like 4 hours of cardio, lol) but there's a ton to do at work. That said, MKate will be smelling birthday cake and all manner of baked goods at work today (some even gluten free) and not partaking

[niq]

Wow, people are up early. Mk, glad to hear nothing was broken! But take care of it, one of my fingers is permanently bent from not letting it heal properly, i started using it after two weeks in a splint instead of 4.

Today is the last night of swing dancing for a couple of weeks. it's a chill week at work so I may try to go to the gym as well ... still need to do my squat test! other than that, not much besides "cleaning" the house, which is really juststudying things into closets without much rhyme or reason :/

Have a good Tuesday!

You guys are so good! I do pretty good at home alone or with just Tman, but when I'm tempted, that's a different story. Tman's birthday is Friday, so I already know I'm going to have cake and then I really cannot imagine making healthy choices while on our trip. Also, the scale went up on Monday, and then just back to even this morning even though my calorie intake was pretty darn low yesterday. My week 2 is going to be like the Biggest Loser week 2...but I'll be RIGHT back on track after our trip. I want to smoke you guys, but honestly, I really just want to lose a good amount of weight. I know I keep saying it, but I really do appreciate the motivation that this challenge has given me.

Today, after chores, Tman and I are going to the mall to find that dress I want. Still hoping it looks awful on me and that I don't have to buy it, but I like the photo so much online that I feel like I MUST investigate. Tman also has a baseball game at like 6 tonight. Other than that, no plans. It will be nice to stick around the house and take it easy.

Sarack, have an awesome time on your vacation!

UW, your willpower is amazing! I always have to - at least - lick the spoon or the beater or the bowl or ALL THREE!

MK, James lost weight with me early last year and it was so nice to get the support. I'm glad you have it. Go Mr and Mrs MK

[amandasw]

hi! not much today. tomorrow is the Greenwood Seafair Parade though in case anyone is in the area (or in case you need a warning about the traffic). yay!

Good morning! I'm utterly exhausted. It is going to be a very long day at work. Hopefully it goes by quickly. We got home a little before midnight. Unloaded the essentials and then I took a bath and h stayed up and fell asleep out on the couch with e so they didn't wake me up if either were loud.

[jennlin]

Morning! On a normal day, I would've been up early to play with you sarack, just not late-shift week.

I'm being petty- remember my friend that texted me at 9:30, then got pissed by the time 10:30 rolled around? It's his birthday today, and I reeeeaalllyyy don't want to wish him a happy birthday. The sad thing is last year on his birthday, we were calling each other bff, but we had a falling out in august. He was a really good friend--really really good, but he made a dumb choice, followed by a dumb excuse. And still lives by his excuse instead of admitting he was wrong. His dumb choice didn't affect anyone but me, and two others, and the other two girls lust for him and want to sleep with him (he's pretty attractive), so they forgave him right away, so I'm just seen as the petty one. But his dumb decision really hurt me, and the fact that he never apologized and just had some bullsht excuse, is what makes me not want to talk to him anymore. Ugh. /End rant.

Happy tuesday!

Since it's going to be nice out today I'm going down to Colman pool for lap swimming and then staying there for open swim so I can sit by the pool, read and have some lunch. Then I have a track workout to go to. I haven't been to a track workout in weeks!

Love summer break!

[madDawg228]

Good morning! :Y: to all the good and healthy choices you are all making!

I had a good work out yesterday, and I ate some salmon fettuccine that H cooked. yum!

Today I'm going to run a few errands and am going to try to do several reps of real push-ups, not the wimpy knees on the ground stuff I usually do. I'm such a work out/healthy living novice

[tacocat]

Happy tuesday! My running partner was sick today so I slept in (overslept actually). I will run tomorrow and Thursday though to make up for it!

Speaking of health I might be crazy but I feel like either my thyroid or glands are giant right now and I cannot take a full breath or swallow. Ick!

Morning! We've got a lot to do! Our lives are just a huge jumbled mess right now. So much running around and craziness. Yesterday we were able to pick up some toiletries that we needed. Still got some more to grab...I was thinking, well even though we have to spend a crapton of money on a yearly supply of toiletries now, at least that means that won't be part of our budget in Egypt.

I am on my second TOM since getting the IUD and it is endless again. I haven't kept time this time around, but it has been foreverrrr. I keep telling myself that these really long ones mean that soon, I won't have any....haha. I will be really sad if by month 6, I am still having 15-16 day periods. I guess I need to bring an endless supply of tampons with me to Egypt too....

Today we have to go to capitol hill to get a new debit card made for DH before we leave. The strip on his sucks and almost never works. I still feel like I don't have enough shirts/pants/skirts/dresses for Egypt so I think we will go shopping again today for a few more things. And then we have a long night ahead of us of packing and clearing up our apartment.

[InBetweenDays]

Today is my last day of work for a WHILE too! DH's 40th birthday is Sunday and we're heading to Couer d'Alene tomorrow till Monday. He thinks it will just be the 4 of us, but we're meeting up 5 of his closest college friends and the families of 3 of them. So there will be 10 adults and 7 kids staying in one big house We get home Monday, fly out Tuesday morning to NYC to visit his family, then head from NYC to Nantucket the following Saturday for 9 days with my family. A little stressed about packing for all of this, but I'm psyched!

And 9 days with my family on Nantucket means lots of helping hands to watch the kids while I go for some beautiful runs

[BlackCanary]

Yay Tuesday! I'm working from home so I can also work on packing up the kitchen off and on. We're moving on Thursday!!! Woo-hoo!

DH might be able to get off work early today, I hope he will be able to! ;D

Ok, I need to go and get started on adding things to our eBay store.

Have a good day!

[InBetweenDays]

Oh my gosh spunbutterfly, that is insane! Ironic that M complained about J taking over your special day, but then she essentially makes the whole thing about her. How can anyone think that' s okay?

[FrozenSunshine]

congrats lauralynne! That's awesome.

I was in website training all day yesterday and completely wiped out when I got home. Even though I meal planned for the week, DH and I went out, I didn't have it in me to cook.

I then proceeded to stay up late and talk to a girlfriend after she got home from speed dating. |-)

Tonight I'm off to watch my Yankees and Ichiro stomp on the Mariners again. :beer:

[macpanda]

Hello! Damn, UW, you are hard core! Also, congrats, Lauralynne on 199!!!!!

Long walk last night with sis around her neighborhood. All kinds of eating right going on over here. Felt really nauseated last night though which pretty much meant skipping dinner entirely. Got my Luna, apple and lean cuisine for today.

H is coming home from being OOT tonight so not sure how much excercise I'll be getting. hmm

Be sure to have an extra beer for all of us in the challenge, and add some extra cheese to your nachos!

[jennlin]

WooooOoo lauralynne!

[Deleted]

WTG Lauralynne! That must feel great to break that number!
Sarack - enjoy your vacation!! You've been working soooo hard.
Spun - knocking on wood your plague is over as well!

Yesterday I forgot to log my mid-morning snack so I ended up over calories, but only by 60 so that's not terrible. I gave in and bought a nanaimo bar at FM..and then at the self-checkout had to have the checker remove an item as I realized I grabbed the wrong one, and somehow in that mess forgot I had the lettuce still in my basket and didn't realize until I got home. So now I have to go buy lunch. BUT, I did the BEST I could do...I friggin' LOVE nanaimo bars and only bought 1 AND told DH AND split it in front of him and gave him the other half so I couldn't eat it. It was first day of TOM so I needed fatty chocolate. That's the best self-control I've had! I'm no UW, but each a personal victory right? Stepped on the scale and looks like I'll finally have an official budge on my weekly weigh-in tomorrow.
