missou Posted July 8, 2009 #1202 Share Posted July 8, 2009 With my hosts, I just spoke about my having to go on the treadmill when I'll be back home and they showed me theirs and their stationnary bicycle. Wish I had spoken soonner :rolleyes: Tomorrow morning, we are leaving early to go to Strasbourg which is 1 hour and a half drive from here and when we will be back, we are going to the restaurant. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I will do some workout... I have to :eek::eek: I am not eating so bad, but there is a lot of wine pouring here in France... Very good wine ;):D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddle Posted July 8, 2009 #1203 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Vickey - I am so sorry to hear you sounding so under the weather. You are usually so cheerful. I hope all is well with you soon. Matt - it is sooner than you think! I have been to 2 weddings in the last couple of weeks - behave yourself at the wedding. One of the grooms came into the reception with a fake butt strapped on and mooned the guests. I thought it was pretty funny but a lot of people were not amused. Missou - we all missyou!!!!! Get home safely. I'm off to the doctor tomorrow hopefully with help with my sleep problems. Marsha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmysmommy Posted July 9, 2009 #1204 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Missou: oooooo!!! Wine! Cheers to you. :D Vickey: Hoping for a brighter day tomorrow and an easier week. Hang in there. Matt: I'll hold you to that Valor review.... I'll look for it on the Carnival board. :p I am making a decision to not go on the treadmill today. No reason. I just don't feel like it. I'm eating a weight watcher entree and some cottage cheese for dinner so I don't feel too guilty. take care. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rene194215 Posted July 9, 2009 #1205 Share Posted July 9, 2009 To funny 3 of us will be on that ship.. Of course we have a 5 hour drive down.. :( But it works, have done it before. :rolleyes: As we say in flying hope you have tail winds and blue skies on your cruise... Just need to save some FOOD for us... Do I make number 4?? Valor for the second time in Nov!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rene194215 Posted July 9, 2009 #1206 Share Posted July 9, 2009 PS I think we all have weakness for carbs.. I have weakness for cokes. I'm getting better but still have them from time to time. Even on this diet I have a few carbs and normally not the good ones.. But trying to improve and not get to carried away before my cruise. :rolleyes: I did come down on my weight, but will see on Monday if I'm below my target weight for Monday... Carbs.... my favorite!! I had quite a few tonight. Sometimes you have too indulge but always in moderation,.. That has been a hard thing for me to do because I love to eat...

I am super excited.. but we have so much to do before the wedding. We are walking in to Walk this Way by Aerosmith and Run DMC. When they sing Walk this way, we are going to do the dance from the end of the Super Bowl halftime show a few years ago... (2001 i think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmysmommy Posted July 10, 2009 #1211 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I'm dressed and ready to get on the treadmill but thought I'd drop by and say 'hey'. I'm hanging in there with my eating today... went to lunch with a few friends and guess my choice from the following: a. Chorizo burrito with fried potatoes b. Bacon, avocado, cheeseburger c. Orange French Toast with maple syrup and a side of bacon d. Cobb Salad w/ ranch dressing and garlic bread e. Roasted Turkey sandwich on whole grain bread (hold the mayo) with side green salad with basalmic vinegrette Ok... I really wanted A through D but I ordered E! And I only ate 1/2 of the sandwich and saved the rest for dinner with another salad and a pear. I'm off to break a sweat! Take care, B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudos2Fly Posted July 10, 2009 #1212 Share Posted July 10, 2009 rene194215 I guess that does make four of us. But don't think I could wait to Nov. but then again I'm trying to get down to at least 125 before more cruise.. May need more time...:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudos2Fly Posted July 10, 2009 #1213 Share Posted July 10, 2009 As for my weight, I'm not drinking beer anymore at night. I'm also having very little carbs. But the weight seems to be going down slow. The funny thing I have a chart for my weight on my iPhone and its still has me under the green line.. So I guess that's good. I have a goal set in to be down to 120 by the end of Aug... So looks I'm still on target.. Just seems to take a long time..:o Hopefully my weight will be down to 131 or 130 by Monday. I finally got a walk in today. It has been raining a lot, so no walks for a few days...:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missou Posted July 10, 2009 #1214 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I am very happy to see that most of you are well and I hope that those who aren't will be back on track as soon as possible I spoke to my doctor yesterday and he wants to see me quickly about a problem. I did a little research on the web and it seems that the problem would explain my back pain, my bloated belly and other symptoms that I was taking for granted. That means that I will need to have an intervention that could stop my red weeks for good!!!! That would be so nice!!!!! :D:D The best thing about it would be to get rid of my back pains... A life without pain... What a dream!!!! :p:) Take care everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudos2Fly Posted July 10, 2009 #1215 Share Posted July 10, 2009 missou congrats on knowing what your problem is.. Well I'm back down to the weight I was before 4th of July... Now just need to lose one more pound before Monday :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt314hew Posted July 10, 2009 #1216 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hello everyone. 8 days till the wedding and 9 to the cruise.. !!!!!!!! so excited. I just hope to lose some more weight. I have been steady all week with my weight staying the same. Wish it would have dropped a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddle Posted July 10, 2009 #1217 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Don't stress too much about the little weight gains/losses. They will even themselves out. Missou - hope you trip is still going well. When will you come home and be able to see the doctor again? I am off at 1:00 today so it is out to the pool to do laps, relax and enjoy the hot, sunny weather. Just need to watch the sunscreen especially on my scar. Vickey - thinking of you and hope you are ok. Marsha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missou Posted July 10, 2009 #1218 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hello Marsha, I have an appointment with the doc on August 17th... I think he will start by giving me some pills but I hope I will have the intervention quickly. I am home on July 20th in the afternoon. My belly can't wait to get back home to a normal eating regime :D:D:D Take care everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmysmommy Posted July 11, 2009 #1219 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Happy Friday everyone. Missou: Glad to know that you have a diagnosis and know what they may need to do.... no red week ever.... ahhhhh..... Anyway.....Other than some chips and salsa that I had with my lunch, I've done pretty good today. I'm actually just walking tonight since it is so hot out. I did my weekly grocery shopping and made sure that I purchased plenty of fresh fruits and veggies. Chicken breasts were on sale so I picked up a couple packs of those and froze some. I'll be making a lot of chicken dishes soon! I find that if I plan my meals ahead of time and stick to my grocery list of healthy items I do much better. (I did sneak in an angel food cake in my grocery cart. :p) Vickey: Hope all is well.... miss seeing your posts. Matt: Wow! 8 days - can you contain yourself? Kudos: Hooray! You beat the July 4th weight creep! Good job. Marsha: Hope the swim was refreshing! I should have put my suit on and swam instead of taking a walk since it is still about 78 degrees outside here. Rene: You must love the Valor to be back a second time. I can't wait to get on her for the first time. :D To everyone eles - take care and happy losing.

emmysmommy Posted July 11, 2009 #1220 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Ok you guys, this must be the middle of the night for y'all. Wait a minute, it is for me too (3:05 am to be exact.) Since my last post I received a phone call from my middle son saying that he was eloping to Vegas this weekend and did we want to attend his wedding? Uhhhh.... yes! So we went on-line made a reservation at a hotel, packed our bags, packed some (healthy and unhealthy) snacks, drove through McDonalds for McCafe's (I passed on that as well as any cheeseburgers or fries!) and hit the road at 9:45 PM. So here I am wide awake in Vegas. I have no idea how good I will do with eating... I just had some blackberries so if that is an indication it may not be so bad. I did bring my gym clothes so there is hope that I may break a sweat on some exercise equipment. A little walking may be in the forecast as well. Gotta get some sleep... later this evening is the wedding ceremony. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missou Posted July 12, 2009 #1223 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Hey Brenda, what a surprise!!! Send my best wishes to the happy couple and have a great vacation in Las Vegas :D I have uterin fibroids which is a bening tumor. Here is a link that will explain the problem a lot better than I could http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/uterine-fibroids/DS00078 My belly started acting up again and it troubled me, so I left the wedding reception before everyone, it was 2am. They party all night here :eek: The seats were not comfortable and it increased the pain :mad::mad: When I left, the desert hadn't been served yet :( I am in France and I sure will take advantage of the great cuisine!!!
