THANKS to everyone who welcomed me so wholeheartedly!! I hope to be a great leader for the Done Girls (and Guys) BLC Team Gold!!!!! I have had a rough week or so and a lot going on....but I hope this helps not only my team, but to help pick me back up. I have kept up with my eating, etc, and wearing my pedometer and with my new job am walking b/t 10-20,000 steps a day...sometimes more. BUT I have not been so great with my cardio/strength training!
My daughter broke out this weekend appa...

What the future holds....

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 16:50:37 EST

So ladies...(and gents)...I may be a little less active or visible on the boards here soon. Today is my last day at my current job; you know, the one I do nothing at all and sit on my butt in boredom! Well tomorrow morning I start at the local Health Department in Family Planning! I am soooo excited really! Nervous, but excited. I'll also be walking up and down to and from the 3rd floor everday! (how many flights do you call that? the 3 for floors, or 6 since theres' two sets per floor?)

Calorie intake!

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 12:04:19 EST

Okay what is going on with me?! I finished logging my stuff for yesterday, and yes...granted I did have that slice of cake....but 1900+?! Wow!!! Good thing I worked out like crazy!
And today! I'm already at 1200!!!! My range is 1360-1710?! what the heck??? I still have to be able to squeeze in dinner. I'm so sad with myself. Not disappointed, or upset...sad that I let myself indulge in things I knew were bad and going to mess me up (i.e. the cake, and today's BK) *sigh* At least today's ...

Ooooooh my tummy!

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 15:44:03 EST

So, I was sitting here munching on my cucumber slices...and all of a sudden I was hit! I wanted chocolate..and my daily pepsi and I wanted them NOW! Normally I can avoid this, but not today...today at my desk was the slice of cake I took from my mom's....chocolate...with chocolate icing... 35
I couldn't help myself last night, I sliced it and wrapped it and took it home. But I never touched it because I was full after dinner and said no.
But THEN....I brought it to work w...

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 19:05:11 EST

Soooo I've been waiting for it...I jumped outta bed this morning, ran to pee, and scrambled to the scale for my weekly BLC weigh in... and to see if I was FINALLY going to go tanning? And guess what?! It said 160.6!! I was so happy. I lost one pound for the week, great to show a loss for me and the team. But, do I count that as reaching my goal of 160, or wait since that stubborn .6 is still sitting back there? Hmmmm......any ideas ladies?
And I'm thrilled, because just another 1.1 and ...

DONE girls BLC

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 15:37:29 EST

First I want to apologize to Rox and all my Turquoise girls for flaking after Friday. This weekend was insane and I never logged into the computer at all. We have found out my mother in law is taking her laptop back (finally) so now I have to figure out where to get a new computer from; for school which is all online, and for my SP!! lol
I also celebrated my one year wedding anniversary yesterday with the love of my life. I am so excited and in love still....even after 7+ years.

Small rewards after trouble times

Thu, 10 Apr 2008 12:58:04 EST

So as many of you may have noticed, I have had a very rough time since last Friday, personally and emotionally, which has led to some slackness in the exercise arena. A very difficult situation that I am in (and have no choice or control over) came to a new high on Friday. Internally dealing with it all weekend quietly...then it seemed things just started piling on. All the normal every day "dilemmas" or "issues" I handle with flair and grace on a day to day basis just seemed so overwhelming,...

Honored by VEEJAY3

Wed, 2 Apr 2008 16:15:14 EST

My beautiful, talented DONE sistah VEEJAY3 has blessed us with another motivational fat demon exorcism and I am so honored to be a part of her creative conspirings!!! Here, is the new piece:

ODE TO THE PLATEAU

That demon is delighted
In his step, there is a bounce
All because I weighed this morning
And I hadn’t lost an ounce.

He thinks I’ll get discouraged
And won’t work on this fat gut …
Thinks I’ll grab the nearest phone...

Recipe Help....

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 15:22:43 EST

Okay so I love this stuff, my mom has always made it. And I had it for dinner last night and lunch today. Well the campbell's website said there was nutritional info...but I don't see it. Can anyone help me figure out what it would be? I know I could do each individual ingredient but that won't be totally accurate as I'd have to divide the amounts up and all that......

HPV and me

Fri, 22 Feb 2008 10:20:29 EST

Today I wanted to post a topic to help inform and educate those out there. Being 20 somethings we should all know that STD's and other diseases are prevalent in our society; and can sometimes go unnoticed. They don't make you dirty or awful...and it is SUPER important to know what's going on with your body.
A couple years ago, I had numerous abnormal paps, and was sent for other tests. The ob found I have HPV (Human papillomavirus). There were no signs no nothing until the pap. I have b...

Oops

Sat, 19 Jan 2008 11:15:53 EST

So I messed up my wonderfully great food day yesterday by snacking on garlic bread and pepsi while playing spades with friends last night. I guess it doesn't help when they were all doing it and don't have the same goals, plus still adjusting to be the only one who isn't smoking (quit for 6 months now!!!). I'm so mad, because otherwise I would have been perfectly in my calorie range. I'm going to have to watch myself a little better the next few days.
