Just did stomach work again last night.
Combo Hinge Crunch 40 reps
Leg Lift/Extension 40 reps
Bicycle Crunches 40 reps
so can anyone tell me why the week before our friendly little visitor I can not get enough to eat!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? 
I was actually pretty good until today, I just can not stop eating, I just dont get full!!!!
Good morning everyone.
I weighed in this morning and gained 3 pounds this week. It was a very bad week for eating and working out. My friend visits on Wed so I am going to blame that and not get too overworked about it.
I also started weight watchers on line and am wondering if it is causing me to gain instead of loose? I am a bit sad as I was doing sooooo well and now this. But again as I said not a very good week for eating and working out. I can also feel it in my clothes, they felt a bit snug this week too.
Oh well, back to the beginning and being very strict, or I wont be able to keep my diabetic numbers down by diet...then on meds I go.
Hope everyone else did well this week.

I didn't exercise at all last night, I was sick 
This time though I caught what my son has, a fever and some very heavy chest congestion. I was so icky feeling last night I just couldn't get warm, even after taking a very long bath. I took some mucinex to help with the chest congestion. I slept almost all night long, but it was interrupted sleep because my hubby and I were both getting up with our son, who had had a fever all day long and all night long and was also very congested. I've been making him take the liquid children's mucinex despite it's nasty taste because I know it's working for him. He's starting to have a lot of phlegm come up now when he coughs instead of just a deep dry sounding cough. I still feel kinda crummy...I plan on taking another nap soon even though I've already done a lot of sleeping. I might not exercise tonight either so that I can get better and be ready to go back to work on Monday.
Didn't exercise again last night because I am still sick, but did weight myself and I am 152.4, so that is a small loss for me- yay!
m0use, I hope you feel better soon, good deal on your loss.
I didn't work out yesterday or so far today (days not yet over)
Went to Waffle House yesterday morning for breakfast and felt icky all day long and even missed a party because I didn't feel well. I guess I learned my lesson, I just cant eat that stuff any longer. I think this is a good thing!!!!!!!
Michelle
Hi everyone 
dare I show my lazy head here again?
I missed you guys and so am back...so busy at work still and doing some cake stuff too. Well, I am back to it after slipping on and off program...
I have been going to WW but still either gain a lb/lose a lb/stay the same...
haven't caught up on the thread yet but I hope you are all fine..gonna read it in a few minutes when my tea is ready!
bye for now
Jane
Well, after getting a fever of 104.9 last night called my doctor and he diagnosed that I have walking pneumonia, so he put me on a really strong anti-biotic. And my poor son has it too I think...I'm taking him to the doctor's today. I hate being sick! 
I missed work today because I'm sick...and I didn't work out again last night.
Good Monday morning.
Jane, just glad your back! I joined WW on line last week. I kind of like it. It sure makes me think before I eat something. How many points it will cost me. I was shocked when I thought I was making a pretty good choice to find out it was that many points.
m0use: so sorry about that, it sucks. Hope you feel better very soon.
I have once again caught something. I have congestion and my head is filling up. I bought mucinex to loosen up my chest. I hope I can get over this one fast, my sister is coming this week and I DO NOT WANT TO BE SICK!!!!!!!
I got up and walked on the treadmill, I raised ithe incline up a bit for about 10 minutes then lowered it for the rest of my 30 minutes. Pretty good for being sick I think!
Michelle
Hi Everyone!!!!.......Mouse and Karate...get better soon!!! Really take it easy Mouse with pneumonia...it can really get you down! Make sure you drink lots and lots...you can get dehydrated from even runny noses, sneezing, coughing..hard to believe but true! Also...rest but get a little fresh air, even when sick...the houses have germs..too air tight in winter.
It is sooo cold here and snowing again tonight..thank goodness for car seat warmers!
Diet is going moderately well and I have been pretty active although not on a treadmill or rower..we have 3 flights of stairs at work and I RUN up and down many times per day so I figure that has to count..I never take the elevator.
Karate..are you doing Core or points? I do core which I love...it is just that I have trouble knowing when I am satisfied...BIG appetite! 
I made choc cupcakes to take to work tomorrow but I wasn't tempted...as long as I have something to drink (I mean tea!!!!) then I find I don't really want to eat the sweets as much. I find I am often thirsty when I think I am hungry...weird eh?
Tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday...PANCAKE DAY...OH NO...my very favourite!!! I just won't make them this year...they won't even remember I bet....Do you guys do pancakes too for Shrove Tuesday?
I am going to Toronto next Tuesday to cake school ...Bonnie Gordon school...sooo excited to go. I am going to meet up with some CC girls too!! What fun is that!
I was watching TC's thread about figuring out why she overeats..mine is pretty much the same...but I also eat just as much for the good things as the bad 
...in fact, I might just eat more for the celebration things that happen!!!!! I find if something really horrid happens like when my brother died in Chile of a heart attack a few years ago, I couldn't eat at all...just wanted to vomit but when anything good happens, I just want to celebrate with the biggest and best meal...anyone else have that?
See you soon!
Jane
Jane - I know what you mean about celebratory food. I guess I can pin my trigger down to "eyes open".
I made pancakes for everyone tonight. They are going to have to do grilled cheese or something tomorrow night (tuesday). My service is at 7 pm, so I need to leave house by 6:15 to p/u a church member and get to the church. We are having an eccumenical service with another congregation, and I've never been inside their building. I need to see the layout, and read a bulletin at least 15 minutes before the service. Plus, at least take a look at the hymns.
I love Lent, so am really looking forward to Wednesday! Hopefully it will help me get back on program. I've been sliding badly. ARG!!!
I'm so sorry you guys (m0use, karate) continue to be sick. Has your weather been wacky? Perhaps you ate some tainted Peter Pan peanut butter? I don't know if that is all over the country or not, but here in NY, we had to throw out our pb if it started with a 2111. Yup, everyone I know...2111.
Morning everyone!! Gotta make this quick..should be almost off to work! Have a great day...TAKE IT EASY ON THE PANCAKES 
(that is warning to myself..in case they make them at work)...none at home.
Karate and Mouse...hope you are feeling a bit better today!
Hi Pootchi..when I was last here, you hadn't joined the wt loss group..anyhow..Hi!!
TC..how is it going?
Sarah...I laughed when you said your trigger was "eyes open"...me too!!! Lent for me is great too...better diet time.
Have a great day everyone!
Jane
Well, was out of the house for 3 hours with my son, took him to the doctor, got the prescription filled (shopped @ walmart while waiting for it to get filled) and then had to stop at his school to pick up his homework. Son's doctor said that he definetely has bronchitis, so he is now on an antibiotic and she also prescribed an inhaler for him.
Well, I slept pretty good last night...I think my body was fighting off the fever so I think that if I take it easy today (I stayed home sick again from work) I will be better enough to go to work tomorrow. But no exericising for me until I am really better.
I think the only reason why I am loosing weight is because I haven't had an appetite so I am not eating much. I was hungry for salad over the weekend so I had a salad with chicken over the weekend. Otherwise it's been soup and toast for me.
Hi all. Jane, I just re-read my post from last night...boy, it was too late for me to try and be coherent! Pancakes today, service TOMORROW! Why did I put them on the same day? Wow....Sarah, step away from the computer....GO TO SLEEP!!!
I'm making a Boston cream pie today. Never did one before, so this one is practice. Think I can get folks to eat it all before tmw?
I told my DH I was going to give up cake for lent. He nearly popped a gut laughing so hard. Glad to be the comic relief for someone. (and, uuhhh, NO, I won't actually be giving up cake!) Then I suggested we give up vegetables!
Have a good day ya'll!
Weighed in again this mornig and lost another 1.8 pounds I am down to 231.2. All I need now is energy. LOTS OF IT.
Way to go moviechick!
Getting lots of sleep will help with the energy thing, also make sure you are getting enough iron in your diet.
Wow you sure can miss alot when not on this thread for a day.
Stayed home sick yesterday. Decided to come in today, will see how long I last. Right now I feel pretty good, but if I start to feel icky, I will leave.
Obviously didn't workout yesterday, nor did I today.... hopefully tomorrow.
Jane, thanks for thinking of me, I do feel much better than I did Monday or yesterday.
I am doing points, I find it is easier to eat what is in the house since I am the only one on it. If I had to shop for what I eat and shop for DBF I would go crazy.
Not sure what Shrove Tuesday is, so I guess I would say no we do not have pancakes...LOL 
Have fun in Toronto, I wish I could take even a 2 hour course from any of the greats!
Sarah, thanks for thinking of me also, you all are the greatest!!! I eat Skippy peanut butter so that is not my problem, I just have a good ole head/chest cold
m0use, hopefully you and ds will be feeling better soon with the meds.
MC great news on the loss, keep it going!
Well DBF bought girl scout cookies, thin mints and samoas (my fav) We also bought Dryers girl scout cookie samoa ice cream. I had a very small scoup last night, will try to stay away from it now.
Tina, how is it going, did you make it back to the gym this week?
Morning everyone!!!!
TC...where are you? hope all is well!
Karate..I know what you mean...my DH brings home snacks of the sort I am not really interested in but I eat them anyway..I guess I must just be an eating machine..that part of my brain, I want to reprogram!
Brought FF cottage cheese for lunch and I'll have it with fresh fruit and I had 1/2 english muffin with LF PB (we don't have PP here so no worries about the recall..how horrible!)
It is WW tonight and I am not that hopeful but every day is a new slate so I will try and do the best I can and think of the longer term, not instant gratification.
Anyhow, hope you all have a great day....seriously we have to get rid of this pink screen for when we are at work...we need something stealth-like...someone just came into my office and busted me..luckily a friend!!
I didn't exercise last night again, but I weighed myself again and I was down to 151.4, so I have lost 2 pounds so far, but I know it's because I haven't been eating much but I'll take it though!
Well, I came in to work today....and I'm ready to go back to sleep. My nose hurts when I blow up in the cartilage area becuase I have been constantly blowing my nose since Saturday. My son is starting to clear up better than me, so thank goodness.
I took a really long shower yesterday (until I ran out of hot water) and I could breathe so much better after that that I was able to take nap like I had been trying to. I just let the hot water beat down on my back and chest...it felt soo good. Poor hubby ran out of hot water today when he took his shower because I took an extra hot steamy shower while I was getting ready for work. 
Hi guys
I decided to stay in bed this morning again. One more day to get over this creepy crud. I will be back at it tomorrow, I promise!
Not much more to report here, am late getting on CC this morning so better get to work, will check back later.
Well, until I get over my pnuemonia I won't be exericising at all. In fact I came home early from work because I am still so tired from the pneumonia and the Epstein-Barr virus, so I came home to rest. I took a 2 hour nap and woke up coughing. My supervisor told me to stay home sick tomorrow too and just rest the whole weekend.
Since I'm not exercising the rest of the week I will only probably pop on here to cheer people up but not much more.
How is everyone today? I hope feeling better. I went to WW last night and while I won't speak of what the scale showed my DH wanted subs for supper tonight but I had veg, chicken and whole wheat pasta and an orange for a snack..
Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow.
see ya!
m0use: hope you feel better soon
Jane, we all have set backs now and again. good for you getting right back at it rather than getting upset and eating bad last night!
I still didnt get up and work out, I guess my body still needs the rest. I will see how it goes take it day by day. I am however watching my intake so that is at least a plus.
My sister will be in town for the next two weeks, so if I am in and out its because we will be busy. Like this weekend we are going to Vegas so you will not hear from me from Sunday thru Tuesday for sure. I will try to get on at least once a day.
Hope everyone is doing well, catch ya later.
Michelle
Have fun in Vegas Karate!!!!
Have a super day...Friday, Friday..my favourite day of the work week!!!!
Gonna have a busy weekend getting ready to go to Toronto next week...gotta get some new tops and a new pair of jeans so I will look decent when I go to cake school....all my $ goes on cake stuff.

I'm up to a 5.5 lb loss! Yay!!!!! I'm so excited, I just had to share....I stayed at the 4 lb loss for .....ummm.....forever! LOL!
