Phew! At least that frosting incident didn't completely kill me. However seeing as it has been 2 weeks since my last weigh in I was hoping for a bit more. But it seems like my body doesn't want to do it anymore. It constantly wants sugar, breaks down when I work out and keeps me exhausted 24/7. But as I have said before I am bound and determined. I want to be below 140! So see ya next week at the next S.A.A meeting.

Confessions of a Sugar Addict

Yes, the following story is true and sad, and shows you just how badly I am addicted. No Judgment please :)

So I was really Jonesin for some sugar the other day. I don't really keep any in the house because I will eat it all. I cannot restrain myself. So with little options I reached into the depths of my pantry and retrieved a container of frosting. MMMM is was so good! I did limit myself to several spoonfuls and then I put it away. Then another day comes and again I need sugar. So more spoonfuls are shoveled in. Then not a few hours later more and more...I couldn't help myself. So in an effort to stop myself I threw it in the trash. But, I could still taste the yummy cream cheese flavor in my mouth and I yearned for more. What a dilemma. What to do. Yes folks I dug it out of the trash! Yuck, and least it was on top right?

So disgusted with my addiction and not wanting to have this same issue, I then filled the container with water and threw it away again. I needed it to be completely inedible.

So alas, I am a garbage diver. I know, an addict can go to many lengths. That's why my weight has plateaued again...

Maybe I need to got to SAA (Sugar addicts anonymous). Help!

I will let you know next Wednesday which will be after my race...

Finally...Hallelujah....149.4lbs. I am in the 140's! On to the 130's. I have been pretty bad the last few weeks, with Codee in town and being frustrated about my wright plateau. But, I am rededicating to being better. Especially since we are having our family pictures taken in a few weeks so I want to shave off a bit more weight.

Well, I do need to keep at this. I need some sort of accountability or I will eat ten doughnuts a day and balloon to a size where not even the ocean can hold me.

This week however has been bad. I have had an overwhelming desire to eat chocolate every second of the day. So bad that I even had a bag of chocolate chips I was pouring into my mouth.

As for the weigh in. I weighed 151.4 this morning. I am pretty sure that is a gain from last week. Dang breaking that 150 lbs barrier alludes me again.

I need to be better. Here is hoping for next week.

Not trying really hard at this point. I still watch what I eat but I also eat what I want. Portion control mainly.

I ran after a week and a half off ( to rest my IT bands) 3 miles but at a quicker pace. I did 3 miles in 30 min which I normally do closer to an 11 min mile. I am feel REALLY tight this morning. It is becoming more of a reality that I may not be able to run this race. I will do what I can...it is just disappointing knowing I am physically in shape to do it, but my injury is holding me back...whine whine.

Tired!

Yes I am tired ...my new schedule is kinda crazy and I work 10 days in a row and with my commute I am pushing 12 hour days which leaves little time to get everything in (yes I know I don't have kiddoes but I do take care of David) and not be dog tired...I just don't want it to sound like an excuse...I haven't given up I just have to figure out what I can do to fit it into my new life. Once I do I fully intend to get back down to where I want to be. I am so proud of the girls for sticking to it and meeting there goals..if anything I hope that I jump started this whole thing :o) .I am sooo jealous! They both look fabulous and I hope that I get there sooner than later...there are many reasons I need too and I hope I can figure it all out. I guess there really is no need to continue our blog at this point ladies but lets continue to talk about it and motivate each other any way we can. Love you girls!

Not great but at least its a loss. I was hoping for a little more, but for Seth's bday we went to dinner and there were very little healthy meals on the menu. I did my best but I am sure it was like a whole days worth of calories.

On a side note I have now done two P90X workouts and I only did them at about 50%, maybe less, and holy moly it is so hard and am so sore...ouch.

I cannot wait to break the 150lbs barrier. I want so badly to be in the 140's. But I will have to say it is nice because most of my clothes fit again. I cannot even wear some of the clothes I started out in because they fall off and that feels great!

Well I think this is it folks. The goal was to lose 10 pounds. Although I have not hit my goal I still feel pretty good. This weight is actually probably more manageable for me because I can have a life with out counting every single thing I put in my mouth. I will forever be curious about what my body would look like 10-15 pounds lighter however I don't want to torture myself either. I can maintain this weight even if I don't look like a super model. I also feel pretty good that I can get into my old clothes and that was my main purpose.

My running has come to a slight standstill because of my IT band/knee pain. On Monday I ran 7 miles and wanted to cry on mile 4. I walked and even called randy to see if he could come pick me up. (I ended up walking in out though....) For now I am stretching a lot and doing palates to strengthen my hip flexers. I am determined to get better before race day put I don't want to push it either.

As for Cass and Lace, Cass says shes too tired and Lacey should be so tired I don't know how she has time to breath....so not sure this will go on for much longer. I guess we will go out like LOST. (Not wanting it to end but wanting to know the end result.)

There was no hope this week with Abby's bday and lots of things wrapped in bacon and then mothers day. I didn't expect much different.

WIW...Belly

I am NOT weighing in today. I know I did horrible this week. Having company in town is really hard because I can't just eat on my own. Food= being social, and I hate that. Plus I feel like a big fat cow because my RED STAR should be here any day now. I refuse to punish myself by getting on the scale. Lets wait until next week. Exactly 1 month until my race...highly motivated again.

Also I have had to take a mini break from running so I don't blow out my IT bands. The only way to not injure myself more is rest. On Monday by mile 6.5 I wanted to cry my knees hurt so bad. I don't want to be like that for the race. So, there you have it.

I am not sure of anything. I don't know what works the best for me. I am happy it has been really slow so that way I know I can keep it of f better. I am up to running 9 miles and my knees are starting to feel it. I just try and ice them really well. I am such and old lady. I have been trying to change it up a little by doing palates and p90x on my off running days. The weather has been decent and I discovered that I LOVE to run outside! Who knew?

Not great but at least it something. I honestly thought I would gain this week so I guess I am happy.

Me too

I found out that I am COMPLETELY an emotional eater. When ever I feel stressed or down or tired or out of control....I eat. I am the complete opposite of an anorexic. If I can't control my life or a situation, I definitely can control my food and eat what ever I want to eat. You can always base my life and how happy I am by how much I weigh...It is so sad. 29 years and I am just figuring myself out.
 NO MORE.
Now when I am feeling down I will try and yell at people and punch things the way normal people do. Or...just not eat bad things.

Kill me now

I think today I gained all my weight back. Its been awful. First Aunt flow is trying to kill me. Then Abby is sick and super clingy and whinny, so if I set Briggs down to help her he wails as if I put him in a bucket of acid. What does that all mean....It means I ate my weight in chocolate today, had some cheddar peppers and whatever else I could shove in my mouth to sooth the shock of the day. I need help, pizza anyone?

I am a loser!!!

Ok so the girls are kicking my butt, the one who got this all started has been royally side tracked. All excuses aside I need to get my booty in gear quick!!! I havent wieghed in 2 weeks and havent had the money to go to Jenny so I am not sure where I am I just know that I need to do something and fast!! I am so proud of my sissys for sticking to it and doing awesome. I vow to get back on track.

I should be furious. I had a really rough week. I had french fries from Red Robin on Randy's birthday and on Sunday I ate ice cream and cookies. Other than that I stayed pretty on track. I guess I can't be too upset because I think I got some really good runs in. It is really frustrating to know I am starving and I run my tail off and I get negative results. Just got to work harder I guess. (I mean 2 birthdays in one week..it was a set up form the start.)
Here's to hoping for better next week.....

I can't believe it.  I guess I need to eat more or something because I had some not so good days where I ate the things I wanted. (In small portions.) Running is getting harder. Last night I ran 6 miles in an hour and 10 min. (An 11.5 min mile...getting better.) I don't really care about the time as much as the distance. Again, I wanted to puke. I can't even imagine running twice that for the race! 2 more months of training left...

WIW...Lacey

No Gain, No loss. Its been a rough week.

Ugh...

I don't know what it is but this week has been ROUGH. For the last 3 days I haven't been good. I haven't gorged myself, but I haven't been counting calories either. I know it could be a lot worse however, I cheated and got on the scale and I have gain 2 pounds. I have only gotten to run once this week so that may have something to do with it. Today is a new day. I am counting again and being strict. Man, I cannot wavier for a second. Last night Randy and I went out on a dinner date and it was really hard not to just enjoy it because I was feeling so guilty. And, all I had was a sandwich and a small ice cream. I have to be able to live like a normal human being, but I am finding it to be impossible. Eight more pounds and I will be happy, I promise. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I feel better now...

WIW is Sunday!!

Now that I am working again my schedule is all out of whack. I had to change my Jenny appoitment till tomorrow. I know the news will not be good. I have been out of Jenny food and not eating all what I should. I dont feel like I have gained any weight back but I guess we will just have to wait and see..I need to get my groove going again...feeling blah again...and thats never a good sign....I need to keep forging ahead..I CAN DO IT!!!

On a side note I ran 6 miles last night. 6 freaken miles! It is the first time in my life I thought I was literally going to puke. I had to eye the trash cans as I did my laps just to make sure. My body was like, "What are you doing to me? We don't do this...sorry, you are on your own." I am surprised I didn't lose control of my bowels all together!!

Easter Beaster

Easter you have bated me in with your delicious food. Today Jay had an Eater egg hunt. They had donuts and hot chocolate. I probably would have stayed strong but it was negative freezing degrees. The hot chocolate was the only thing keeping me alive. I had to ingest it to sustain life. It tasted like liquid gold in my mouth. I guess I will have to run 10 miles to burn it off....but it was worth it.

Guilty

So I have been doing pretty good with my diet thus far. No real problems. But, today the kids and I met Seth for lunch at my favorite Chinese restaurant. I did not eat nearly the portion I would have prior to losing weight. I did not order the delicious crab and cream cheese rangoons. I think this was the first time I have walked out of there not needing to unbutton my pants because I gorged myself. I kept it simple, and it was so yummy!!!! But I know it was not the greatest thing to eat and so did my body. I feel so sick. I guess that's what I get for straying a bit. Hopefully this doesn't ruin next weeks weigh in....Lacey

Ok so considering some of the stuff I ate I am glad I lost something...heres to alot of hard week this week!! Great job girls!!

I love food

This is what I had for dinner last night. I kinda got the idea off of Oprah's show with Jaime Oliver. It is chicken with parsley and bread crumbs (I literally took the heal of the bread dried it and cut it into small pieces.) sweet potato and sautéed spinach and kale with mushrooms and onions. I then tossed the greens into olive oil, lemon and salt and pepper. It was seriously good.

Well obviously I wish it were more but I am happy. I don't really understand my body right now. It is not working the normal way I know. I think it is because I am older and the second baby really makes the difference. It is SO hard to get weight off now. I am staying strong. I am not too worried because week 2 on the biggest loser is always the worst right? I think even though I haven't dropped a ton of weight I definitely feel better about myself.

I was hoping to be in the 150's this week but no such luck. Here's to next week!

Exercise...starting to become my friend!

I cant believe another week has gone by...I am glad time is flying..now lets just hope the weight is too! I made it to my goal of 35 min on the eliptical..I even went from 1.0 level to 3.0. I am proud to say I got in 17.5 miles of exercise this week. While I am still only at 4 days a week I am confident that I will be moving to 5 days a week in no time. I hope this makes up for my food week cause I must confess I didnt stick to Jenny 100%. We had a party on Saturday night and David and I went out on Monday night. While I didnt go all buck wild I definitly eat a few things I shouldnt have.....but I cant stress about it..I am going to better next week plain and simple. I just hope I at least lost a pound or 2. If I didnt, I take full responsibilty. I can do better. Good luck at the weigh in tomorrow!!!!

Belly Run

Today I ran 5 miles WITHOUT walking.!!!!I felt like I won a gold medal when I was done I was so proud of myself! I may have even shed a tear of joy.

Running Shoes

Ok, so this is a new way I learned to tie my running shoes and a few tips also. First, buy your shoes one full size bigger than you normally wear. I wear a 9 so my running shoes are a ten. You want to not have the laces in the middle so your foot doesn't get to tight and arch up. You want your feet completely flat when it hits the floor.

Here is an up close look.

You want to make sure your laces are so loose that you can fit your finger under them.














This is the cool part. All of the tightening goes at the top of your foot. Above your ankle.

DO NOT PULL UP TO TIE THEM!!!!!!
Bad, don't do this, it tightens the laces on top of your foot too much.

Instead pull down.

It is amazing the difference. I am not brand specific, but mine are Mizunos (Wave runner). It is best to go to a place where they can watch you run to see if your feet turn in or out to determine which type of shoe you need. I am neutral so I just got the basics. It sure makes a whole world of difference to have a good pair of shoes. Don't get me started on wearing clothes that cause no chaffing.  My arm hits my side when I run...I never knew I would love running in long sleeves???

 This is a basic sheet I use for me. That way I can have it with me and know where I am at for the day. I do roughly 1300 Calories a day. And when you are counting EVERYTHING, it adds up fast. I also measure my portions to make sure I am accurate with my counting. I also consult the internet a lot when I don't know how many calories are in something.I like this site. Like I said before, if it is fruit or veggies I don't count it at all. I just try not to eat too much fruit because I know it has a lot of sugar in it. Chicken and tuna have become my protein staples. I can't run if I don't have my protein!

As team captain ;) we need a little order here. You know I can't handle chaos. We need to use some similarities as not to confuse people. Here they are:

Week 2 Cass....

After lots of worry last night I must say I have a sigh of relief...I didnt have a perfect week but I am proud to say that I lost again...and newsflash to me today...Jenny Craig doesnt have odd numbers on the scale and I how I never noticed that I dont know...but here it is....
Week 2: 2.4 pounds lost...so i guess that 2.5 is out of the question...hehe well folks almost 5 in two weeks not too shabby...I am sticking to my plan and thats all I can ask for..my goal for the week get to 35 mins on eliptical and 2.6 lbs next week. I am so proud of my sisters for their accomplishments and so glad we are doing this together!!! I love you girls more than you will ever know!!! So lets raise our waterbottles and celery sticks and do a toast for week 3!!! CHEERS!!

WIW...Belly

I was worried too, but pleasantly surprised.

Start: 160 lbs
Week 2 : 157.4 lbs
Total Lost: 2.6 lbs
(I started late so never got a week one, therefore my week one was my starting weight...)

This is the lowest I have been since I had Jensen. You would think running 5 miles a day and also eating like a rabbit (literally carrots everyday) it would have been more, but I am so happy. If I can do 1 pound a week I will be happy.

Weigh in Wednesday...Lacey

Alright folks, after a bit of worrying. Things turned out OK. I have been really watching my portions and trying to eat things that are fresh and healthy. My exercise thus far is walking my butt off at work and lugging around a ham most of the day. By that I mean Briggs. I cannot wait until I figure out a way to actually work out.

The numbers...
Starting weight:174.4lbs
Week 1: 167.6lbs
Week 2: 163.2lbs

Now here's to another week of eating like a rabbit.

Crap, its weigh in Wednesday tomorrow and I am afraid...I ate out tonight. I tried to pick something healthy but we shall see........

Update on Codee Belly

I want to start by saying thank you to those who wrote and said that I am not fat. I don't think I am HUGE, but on the other hand I know I could stand to loose a few so thank you...

Well, the sugar cravings are not too bad today. Randy made a big batch of peanut butter cookies yesterday and I didn't even have one. I knew if I ate one I would want the whole batch. Hopefully it gets better from here. I have been sticking to my plan for the most part. Doing well with eating. I may go over on calories, but it is with fruits and veggies and I count those as good/healthy. My work outs haven't been as good since Randy has worked the last few days. I took Jay to the gym with me and I pushed the stroller and he ran beside me. We walked a lap then ran a lap but he got tired after 2 miles. I was willing to walk, but Jay insisted on running and then got tired. On Sat we walked on the outside the track and he lasted 1 mile before complaining. It sure is rough trying to get exercising in. Today I am feeling a little better because Randy was home and I ran 5 miles. It took me 60 min which for me is AMAZING. I pretty much ran the first three and then got pooped and walked/ran the last 2 miles.

My goal for this week is to run 4 miles consistently with out walking...wish me luck!

Its almost Wednesday...

So I just got in my work out after taking the weekend off...due to aunt FLO...curse her!! I was down all weekend...boo anyway I am back at it and feeling great. I am at 30 mins on the eliptical which was about 3.6 miles and walked for 10 on the treadmill for my warm up!!! WOOT!!! I forgot how good it used to feel to work out and I am so happy I am back at it. Keeping it at 4 days a week right now so I dont burn out...but so far so good!! Confession time....ok so i had a slice of cheese yesterday..the craving overtook me...and I gave in...but I must say if thats as bad as it gets all week than I doing good. I didnt kill myslef for it now I just get back on the horse...hope I am still feeling this way Wednesday when I get on that scale...my dear evil Aunt hopefully wont add any poundage cause I am shooting for 2.5 at least this week....I really I did it!!!! I will let you know on Wednesday!! Hope everyone is doing well and feeling great.
Love,
Cass

Fatty Watty Ding Dong

Lacey here...

I was finally able to log on as an author, although I am unsure that I want to because then I actually have to keep up and do it. Since my dear sisters posted their weights, does that mean I have to as well? I mean doesn't that large roll protruding from my shirt and the fact that I still wear matrinity pants lend to reason that I am overweight? I don't want to let go of the "I am fat because I had a baby" line. However since my baby is now six months old I suppose my time is up.

Starting Weight:174.4
Goal Weight: 135-142

Wow that's a load off. If only it actually came off as weight. I have actually been at it for a little over a week now. I have only changed my diet thus far, watching what I am eating and eating things that more fresh and I have lost 7lbs. I am down to 167.6lbs. However the working out is a challenge. With working 4 days a week and children that eat up every ounce of my free time and energy I am exhausted. So I am still working on that side.

So that's me, Fatty watty ding dong signing out.

Sugar

Can we talk about how bad I want sugar right now. I just wanted to eat the whole bottle of vitamin C because it tasted like candy....donuts, ice cream, cookies...I need to call my sponsor....

Cassidee's Week One Results....

I had my first week wiegh in appointment yesterday at Jenny. I lost 2.4 lbs. I was hoping for 3 but I will take it!!!! Most people lose 1-2 a week so I was proud of my number. I hope to keep it up and at least lose this much every week. I am very excited about this journey and glad you guys are doing it with me...Talk soon!! Good luck for this next week! I can do it and so can you!!!!

Ticka Ticka Slim Shady...

Along with Oprah I too have chosen to come "out" about my fatakins. Although I won't be joining Jenny, I have come up with my own system that hopefully works. I will be consuming about 1300 Calories a day and exercising. This will be my fugal way of weight loss and getting healthy.
Since having Jensen I have not been able to drop the last 10-15 pounds. So, this is my goal to start.

Now :160 lbs yikes I said it out loud...
Goal: 148 lbs (This is the weight I feel most comfortable in my skin..that I know of.)

I literally can NEVER remember being smaller then a size 10. Even in 6th grade being 5'5 I was still a size ten. I am VERY interested in knowing if I could ever be smaller than that. If I don't, who cares, I'll still be happy. Let's get this started....

Jenny Craig 2007 and now in 2010!!

As you know in 2007 I started Jenny Craig and was able to lose 37 pounds. I stayed strict to the diet and was exercising about 5 days a week...believe it or not I started the program at 197. I was in shock the first time I saw that number. I just knew that it was time to get that weight off. Luckily I got down to 160. I was so happy and comfortable in my own skin again that I stop eating the Jenny food. I was lucky enough to keep most the weight off...but of course slowly but surely it crept back up on me...so here I am once again..ready to battle the bulge...but my guns are blazing!!!!! Once again I was fed up with being unhappy and overweight and felt it was time to get my life and my smaller size back. Last week 3/10/2010 I went back to Jenny Craig.

Starting weight: 184.7
Goal: 50 pounds
Goal weight: 135

I have had a great first week, I have stuck to eating all my food and even got my goal of exercising 4 times this week in the bag. I am so proud of myself. Even David cant believe how strict I am staying to the diet, his motivation and encouragement definitely helps keep me going.
Talking to my sisters I figured what better way to keep the motivation going then have a place where we can all go and share our stories and keep each other going. Every week I will post what I have lost and hopefully together we can get healthy, lose the weight and keep it off!!! I am so excited for this journey..I hope for week one I at least lost 3 pounds....WISH ME LUCK!!
