nice work on the food and working out! 45 min is a long time for me so i'm proud of ya!
you can do it!I swear they put crack in goldfish!!! I think just about every mom I know has had pig out sessions with bags of goldfish. They need to steal the Lays ad campaign, because there is no way you can eat just one!!
Probably hormones and exhaustion. Don't push yourself to hard. You deserve some time to just relax and let your body focus on growing that baby.
I told them I would give them $50 flat out if it made them feel better (I wasn't on the board then). I never heard anything back and no one has ever complained again.The pool is stock holder owned so we all own stock and pay membership dues each year and it isn't cheap. But people think they can't go in the clubhouse. Hello! You are paying for this! There is a kitchen and refrigerator and clean bathrooms in there. As long as you clean up after yourself and are respectful of the property then there is no reason that anyone can tell you not to go in there (well, unless it is rented to a private party).
This is also why I have volunteered to be in charge of ribbons the last few years-- we write them in the clubhouse in the ac. Well that and it is the only sitting down job that doesn't involve math.I do miss a lot of the meet though, I just run out to see my kids swim. So that is part of why I asked to not be actually scheduled this year to work. I am there early and set up the inside (scorekeepers, timers. ribbons, hospitality) and then stay after to clean it all up along with being the last to leave usually to be sure everything is cleaned and locked. Plus I spend several hours on prepping the ribbons and during all the meets I am supervising the ribbon writers to be sure there are no problems. My husband also helps with clean up, helps out when I need him and is the Head Timer for the home B meets. We put in way more than the 8-10 hours that most other parents do so I am going to try to relax a little this year.
Yeah, like I know how to relax! A few years ago when my feet were at their worst and I was still trying to do things DH and some of my friends threatened to handcuff me to my wheelchair so I would stop getting up.
goldfish are the devil. but i just can't stay away. and thanks for the hug, i think i needed it
my friend in NC belongs to an association that sounds similar to yours. we had her baby shower in their clubhouse and they wouldn't let us go in the night before to turn the heat on (it was in january). so, we were stuck having a shower in the freezing cold clubhouse. everyone had to keep their jackets on!
i would be in that clubhouse in the AC nonstop if i were paying dues!!!
QOTD- I am currently OP since I woke up this morning. It is now 930am! So thats a start right. I splurged for the past few months and now I will pay the price and reloose those pounds plus some. I am committed now that it is June 1st!
How nice of that mom to give you a gift for teaching the class.Sorry about the nightmare ewww thats scary. What kind of party will Thomas be having?
**********************************************************
Hello Friends!
Today is another hot and humid day.
Not much else other than work today and Ryan's tball game tonight. I guess thats enough for one day but looking at Pam's schedule it makes me feel bored.
Good luck getting it all done and keeping sane Pam!
hey, sometimes i'm proud of myself if i make it on plan for an hour! lol!
june 1 is a great start date to get back on the wagon
thomas is obsessed with "coo coos" aka choo choo trains so we're having a thomas the train themed party for him. it'll just be at the beach club clubhouse (nothing fancy, literally an old house that is just a one room party room). we're doing pizza and cake from 2-5. last year we went all out and spent WAY too much money on personalized invitations, catering, etc etc so this will just be a low key event.
i hope you have a nice week off next week. is your pool far from the house?
Yesterday I had a parent/teacher ask if I've lost weight!! YES!!!!!! She said I looked great! WOOHOO!!!
AWESOME!!!!!!
So last night my teenager rear-ended somebody.Nobody was hurt
In good news, I got my C25K week 6 day 2 run in this morning. I had to repeat that day instead of moving on to day 3 because the holiday weekend messed up my schedule. But now I'm back OP and happy about that!
ugh, sorry about the crash! how stressful. nice job on the c25k run - week 6 has you running 20 min straight, right? that's tough, esp when it's humid!
Hi BronxNancy! Too cute about the little girl at Mommy and me--but a box of chocolates! Too dangerous! I am so not a fan of yoga, but it seems to be really helping with all the itb tightness. I only ended up doing the 9 minute sun salutation stuff and then I went to the park. I am not very flexible!
So, I slept awful--don't know what that was about. But I got up and did a little bit of yoga and stretching and then went to the park and ran 4 miles (run 4 min, walk 30 sec.). Boy it was hot and humid! Which I think is good cause it really slowed me down. I think I ended up just under 11 min miles. My knee did pretty good--just got a little sore. I go to the chiropractor this afternoon.
I never answered yesterday's QOTD. I am trying to be On Plan. And I am doing pretty well. But not great. I feel like I am self-sabotaging a little bit, cause I know if I am not careful I will start this challenge outside of my maintain range--and I don't know if I have been outside of my maintain range (except for a day or two after getting back from vacation) since I went to maintain last September. I typed up the third day of my trip report last night and that was really theraputic. And something Corinna said yesterday helped me to feel a little better about things. Suffice it to say eating meat free/wheat free gets old and I've been struggling a bit--which brings back that whole throw in the towel attitude. BUT I am NOT throwing in the towel! I can't afford to gain weight back cause I would have to buy all new clothes--again!How's that for a motivator!
not wanting to buy new clothes is an excellent motivator! it got me back into my original clothes!
i didn't even like the chocolates that the girl gave me and yet i tried every single one. ugh.
glad you got your run in. right now i'd be thrilled to do 11 min miles! pushing the jogger slows me to something like 12:30 miles and i can only manage 2 miles!

Pamela has graciously volunteered to coach the week of the 17th, BUT it would be awesome if someone else could step up and take it. I hate to have Pamela have to do two weeks in a row.
Please let me know if you can help out. Thanks!
I've been kind of lazy this week, but just a reminder, this is what the QOTD should look like to make it easy for Lisa to post in the archive post. The color, etc isn't so important, but the date really helps to find them and put them in order. Here's today's question.
QOTD Wednesday, June 1--What did you have for breakfast? Do you regularly eat breakfast?
Have a great day!
rose - what if pamela and i split that week? it's no problem for me. i'll be around
our pool isn't open during the week yet so i'm jealous of your pool time! it's open on the weekends only until the end of the month. boo!
I want to be near my "ideal weight" this time next year, when we are celebrating my little one's 5th birthday at WDW. I'd settle for a BMI of 25, though...
I just renewed my WW subscription, and, while I'm happy to say I've "only" gained 3 lbs "net" this year after breaking my leg (badly) in January... I really gained 10, because I had already lost 7 lbs before the accident and months of inactivity and eating junk has really caught up... add into that the massive muscle atrophy in my right leg, and I've lost muscle and gained fat. Ack.
So hopefully y'all will be able to keep me on the wagon. I'm going to need cheerleaders for exercise, though. I'm not medically cleared yet to jog or run or jump or even hop, so that leaves swimming, biking, and walking, all of which I can do, but the only one I actually enjoy is walking, which always lands me on the couch with my leg up and iced.
I *LOVE* the decluttering idea! 3 months of "Mom on the couch" truly does BAD things to a house!
good luck! we'll all try to motivate you
***************************************
well, like lindsay i'm happy to report that so far i'm on plan. and it's only 11:30! lol! hey, gotta start somewhere, right?
i got some decent exercise in today. i jogged 2 miles really slowly and then walked another mile and a half or so. in total i moved my butt for an hour. that's gotta be a good thing, right?
QOTD: i tried a new breakfast today. i found it on the herbalife website (my friend has just lost 30 lbs on that plan!). corn tortillas, egg whites, morningstar soy sausage patties crumbled up and a little avocado. rolled it all up in a breakfast burritos. had three of them since the tortillas were only 50 calories each. not bad! of course, i could have gone for like a pound of cheese in there but decided against it.
i'm off to lay thomas down for a nap, have a salad for lunch, and start writing out some invitations. i have to run over to the rectory to put in an ad for the bulletin about next year's mommy and me.
hugs everyone!
i had a nightmare last night that i went to the bathroom and saw lots of blood. if that doesn't deter me from eating i don't know what will. ugh, i don't know if it's the hormones or lack of sleep but i feel so weepy today. 
I too got home and found them on the internet cheaper but felt the guy had really helped me out until my husband asked me what make these New Balance shoes different then the ones at any other retailer? I don't know the answer and I feel like I have to explore more before I wear them. (I got them at the New Balance store)
to all the losers and maintainers!
Anyway, I had a four count order of the Chick-fil-a chicken minis, and hash browns and a diet coke.
. Okay, I seriously need to get off my bum and get some of this house in order. I also need to figure out dinner, write a grocery list, and figure out a meal plan to keep us from going out to eat all the freaking time.
I have raging PMS and said to heck with it. Had an almond poppy seed muffin and 2 pieces of sausage (extra greasy) then had a Coke Zero and half a pizza for lunch. At least it was thin crust and I put mushrooms on it.
I feel pretty icky now. All bloated and miserable. Probably end up with soup for dinner with a big side of regret.
I'm 37 years old, married for 14 years to Gary and mom to 4-year-old Erin I work full time as database administrator for an insurance company. As far as my weight challenges, I don't think I've ever crossed the line into obese, but I tend to hang around in overweight most of the time. I did manage to lose 25 pounds a couple years ago, which felt fabulous 
and have been backsliding terribly ever since the end of last August.
And good job on getting in the exercise! I'll let you know about coaching. We might have worked something out.
