TGIF - DAY 19 EXERCISE

Happy Friday to Everyone.......... Hope you've all had a WONDERFUL week............ I MADE IT ...and to think I'm not even Family....my heart breaks for them ... They'll always be in my prayers.... Ok..... not being disrespectful in any way shape or form.....but I need to flip back to Happy, Enthusiastic, Tammy Thank you to everyone for continueing to exercise & keeping me going this week....you're all the best.... As we all know.....being down and depressed does NOTHING for us or anyone around us. ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING..... I got my butt up this morning & walked 3 miles.... I got a really nice pedometer/radio at the conference last weekend. 7,359 steps..... WOW Soooo already close to the 10,000 for the day. YIPPEE......... I have to admit...walking this morning was AWESOME.... I don't feel like I'm ready to feel my head drop on my keyboard & sleep ...... Ok, I admit EXERCISE is key The scale continues to be nice to me **** 187.5***** today Although, for some reason I had a very GROUCHY little pouch yesterday. I got sick at lunch time & then about 4 times last night . Couldn't even eat dinner.... Not sure why .... Guess it happens sometimes. Probably why I lost 1 1/2 lbs. hehehehehe So what's up for the weekend??? Too bad we didn't know about the conference in Milwaukee, WI earlier....that seems to be the midpoint for most of us. Would have been nice to all meet up there. We'll try to get the schedule for next years conferences & hopefully we can all make plans to attend. I also know that there's gonna be a couple OH cruises next year too.... WOULDN'T THAT BE A BLAST?????? Ok, gotta get my butt to working now. I have to bring my 12 year old for tests today... She keeps passing out randomly. Well usually in the morning. Think it may be hypoglycemia, but not sure. I just got a glucometer to test her the second she has an episode. Luckily, I work from home & am here every day. Although, last Friday the 3 girls were home alone getting ready for school (my husband has to be to work for 6 am) and I got a FRANTIC call from Gabbie.... Sam passed out.... I was FREAKING OUT..... 6 hrs from home... Luckily, she snaps out of it as fast as it happens. My sister called her husband who came over very quick & stayed here until my husband got home.... UUUGGGHHHH.... Anyway, hopefully, we'll get to the bottom of this soon. My twins have a track meet today at 4.... Another busy day.... Isn't it great to have the ability to run around like we do????? That's my new outlook... Thank God everyday that I am able to do what I do & I have happy, healthy children.... God is Great .... Have a wonderful & blessed weekend everyone Love you all Tammy 291/284/187.5/145

Hey Tammy! It's nice to see the old HAPPY EXCITED BOUNCY Tammy again! And I mean no disrespect either. Great job on the walking this morning! That is awesome! I will walk my mile today at lunchtime. I walked 2.5 yesterday in my minskirt! I kept worrying that my butt was hanging out! But I got through it and it felt great. My legs are looking so much shaplier since I started walking. But I hate hate hate my thighs! GROSS! They look so bad! Has your daughter started her period yet? I remember when my daughter first started she was feeling faint alot too. She never actually fainted but she always said she felt like she was going to pass out. I sure hope you get that figured out. Good that you are there and can keep an eye on her. How scary! My son does track too. I watched his meet on Wednesday night. He got 1st in the shotput and discus, 3rd in the pole vault (7ft!!!) and a 4th in the relay. He isn't a runner! But boy can he huck that discus! He is 13 and 6'1"!! He loves standing by me and resting his elbow on my head! Little shat! But he is such a good boy. My daughter is a freshman, 15, and is suiting up for varsity fastpitch. They are at districts this week and hopefully to state next weekend! I am so excited for her. She lettered in varsity basketball this year too. The only freshman on the team! She ROCKS! And she is MY rock! I love being able to be a more active mom. It just makes me so darn proud of myself. How far I have come. I have decided to put the scale away. I have barely lost any weight this past two months but I have gone from a 14 to a 10. I tried on all of my 14's last night and have a big pile of jeans to give my sister. None of them fit! I have 3 pairs of size 10's that I can wear. But mostly 12's now. I know that I am losing inches and that is more important to me than lbs. So... out the window the scales goes! I wish I lived closer so I could attend the conferences over there. I would LOVE to meet you and your sister. You are so inspirational and motivating! I love you!!!! Those cruises do sound like so much fun. I just don't think hubby would like it. I guess I COULD go alone... Anyhoo... hope you have a GREAT Friday! And a wonderful weekend! Lori 281/183/140

Hey Lori... Yeah, she's been having her period since last October. I guess the Dr. said he does see this in teenage girls. Sometimes it's brought on by anxiety or nervousness. She's usually pretty easy going so I'm not sure if that's it. I do remember how she reacted when we told her that we were going to Disney... About 5 minutes after she found out, she had to lay down. I think she's hypersensative to adrenaline. We'll see. Size 10's WOW..... great job... Good for you putting away your scale. You may want to weigh once a week, just to keep yourself on track. That was the advice at the OH conference. Your kids sound like great athletes... good for them... You must be soo proud. Cruise sounds so much fun.... Hey all of us girls can go....How much fun would that be........WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOO Tam

Hello everyone!! Hope all is well with everyone!! When I read everyones posts I feel so proud of you all, and all your great success. Even though Its hard for me to post at times, I do read alot and by that gives me the strengh to move it!! lol. I started to up my walking and lower the monster carbs!! And to remember the basic rules of the pouch by eating more protien and just eating more healthy. I weigh myself every day! Can;t help it! It keeps me on track! Im loosing slowly now I think. I want to loose at least 50 more lbs. The head hunger at times is terrible! And find myself having to fight it off with a stick! LOL My problem is eating at night . Those carbs hant me!! But Ive been doing a bit better though and have lost a few lbs this week. I have been walking 1 1/2 miles x 2 daily sometimes 2 every day.Even at times I feel a litle lazy, I tell myself to get my butt up and go!! After I feel so much better and healthy. I do read posts from everyone when I can get to a computer! This web site is so wonderful and helpful. Espesially the Aug. boards. Makes ya feel not alone in all this. Everyone keep up the GREAT Job you are doing ! Tammy I hope your daughter is ok as well. God bless each and every one of you!!! sheree:

I'm weighing in as lazy. Did not exercise Friday. But did plenty of NOTHING. I was in one of those moods. Will do better. Pam
