Goodmorning!!! It is a cold -20 degrees here in IL today...YUCK!!! I sure hope school doesnt get canceled cause of the cold This past 4 day weekend drove me crazy
Hope everyone has a wonderful day! Stay warm everyone!!!
Morning KsMommy.
Cold here too. Just not as cold as you have.
Good luck on the losing weight. I would like to do that too. I know what you mean about the house and someone coming over even if you know they don't care. I have a list of things to get done also. That's as far as I got the list.
I WANNA BE A WEIGHT LOSS BUDDY!!!! I know I'd feel better if I got some of this recent belly pudge off me.
I get to work an ungodly 11 hours today. LoL I need to make up for some lost time on Sunday. I finished my book in TWO DAYS so now I have no effing clue what I'm gonna do at work all day. *sigh*
Oh well!
Hello, everyone. Yes, I am still alive...barely. Have been struck with a sinus infection and ear infection, plus all of the normal.
I need to lose about 50lbs and maybe more. I hate this whole med thing with my almost two weeks of steriods I gained almost ten pounds...it just seems to be getting worse and worse. I don't think I will do the streriod thing unless forced to. I hate them as much as they hate me.....bad experience.
I hope all of you are warm. It is supposed to be almost 40degrees here, so I think I will wear my bathingsuit. J/K
Lizzy and Katie YAY for weightloss buddies!!!! Im going to get the Dr Phil book that Liz has and see how that works for me. But yea if you do it with someone its sooo much easier since you have someone to hold you accountable. I didnt gain weight from taking the pred till last year when i had to increase it to 15mg...It all went downhill from there. I probably gained 30lbs just from that...Shannon, my nephew (a big guy) has been doing nutrisystem for quite a while now and last I heard he's lost like 80 pounds. I know he's been working out too.
If you want to burn calories faster, add some weight training to your day. You don't have to join a gym. With some light dumb bells you can pretty much work every muscle group. Build more muscle, burn more cals. That's why men lose fat so much more quickly than women. They have more muscle.
Count me in for the weight loss too! I did lose 8 pounds, finally!!!!! I am hoping that my metabolism has kicked up a bit and it will be a little easier now. I work out 3-4 times a week and really limit my calories and its taking forever to lose it. I am not looking for super model skinny but if I could get under 150 pounds, I'd be a happy camper. This mornings weight in was 192. I did 3.5 miles on my elliptical and a good 20 minutes of arm weights and another 15 of stretching. I have about 9-10 weeks before I have to get fitted for the bridesmaid dress!!!!!Anywho, I finally took it out a few years ago. (felt too old to have it to be honest. Though I still get the itch to have it back now and again) Ever since then, at very random times it's felt as if I had the tongue ring back in, and someone had strung wire from the top of the ring, down across the front (tip) of my tongue, and under to the bottom side of the ring. And it was as if they were tightening it, squishing the tip of my tongue up. Sort of a paralyzed feeling.
It's never been major, like I said, it's really more annoying than anything. Lately though, it's gotten a bit more intense. Not as often, but MUCH stronger.
So I got to thinking about it and now I'm convinced that the only purpose it's going to serve, is that one day, somewhere, somehow, I'll be meeting with someone important. I dunno, a world leader or something. And when I go to introduce myself, my tongue's going to lock up the hardest it ever has, and I'm going to drool all over myself and somehow instigate WWIII.
Just thought I'd share...... Yea I probably wont be posting to much either...i did sign up at sparkpeople.com...so i can track my water intack and my weight and suchSpeaking of water intake....drink lots of it. Flushes out the fat cells. No soda except diet soda. No kool-aid. All that stuff can add up to 20 extra pounds a year!!! I drink Crystal Light when I need a break from water and need something with flavor. Portions are important too. Whatever the serving size is on the package..that is what you do. And all those pre packaged foods...get rid of them. If there is no prep time to what you are making then don't eat it. I have a spark people! I haven't signed in since mid-last year! LOL
Well, I am done getting my achy back massaged by the massager. All that sitting up I done non-stop today made my back feel outta whack and aching. if I had not had that steriod drip earlier today, my back would be doing way more than aching, more like how I was last night.
Well, I am off to take my antibiotic I am suppose to take the day of and the day after my infusion. Then go lay down in my nice warm bed, and fall asleep while watching Celebrity Rehab.
Later DUDES!
