Damn Craig.  That bites!  Sorry to hear that.

Annette, I am much happier now.  More peaceful.  Happy thanksgiving to you too.  And you too Miki!

Thankfully, my home computer is fixed now, so I won't be lost this weekend!  Killer leg workout with the team last night.  Kori's a slavedriver  I'm up a pound this morning.  From the leg workout?  I did have a piece of french bread pizza after the workout.  It fit in my macros, but it did have a lot of sodium.  I'm looking forward to the busy weekend.

Char, I was wondering the same thing.  I used to hop out of  bed at 4am wide away and ready to go. Not any more.  I got so much more done when I was working out and doing cardio every day!  More energy too.  Except for the last 2 weeks of prep.

Booo hooo:(

Come for the weekend anyway....we can crash camp!

Patti, you're crazy!  LOL!  STAY AWAY FROM THOSE DONUT BALLS.  They are like Lay's potato chips.....you can't eat just one!

My company is having our annual Thanksgiving meal right now.  I'm sitting here with my chicken, green beans, and apple while everyone else is chowing down. I don't even want any of it.

Good Lord!!!  60 minutes of torture (stepmill) for just 260 calories???  No way any food is worth that.  Yikes! 

My computer is still down, but the parts have arrived, so hopefully hubby can fix it tonight.  I didn't do a template for yesterday or today since all my info is on that computer, but I'm doing alright.  No wt loss today, same wt as yesteday which is fine.  I'm now only 12lbs over contest weight.  Yeah.  I'd like to drop 6 more, but that may not be realistic with all the meals coming up.  I'll keep trying, but I'll be happy to maintain.

I did the chest & shoulders workout Char posted yesterday (but with much lower weights!).  I didn't have a spotter, so went with bar only on the bench presses...and struggled with that.  I've not done alot of bench presses, so I'll need to work on building strenght there.  I threw in a bi & tri set as well.  After I was done I couldn't lift my arms. My chest is sore to the touch today! Great workout Char!!

Leg workout tonight with team k.  Yay!

Shellie, I did just get my furnace checked.  And he had to come back once already and work on it.  It's the same problem.  It's some sensor that either needed to be cleaned or replaced.  He cleaned it once..now that it's done it again, it has to be replaced.  Parts for the computer have been ordered and will hopefully be here tomorrow:)

Yeah, I looked at those donuts (which used to be my number one nemisis) and they didn't even appeal to me.  When I was on prep diet, the smell made me sick.  I agree...bread is the bomb!  I could live on bread alone....well, with a little protein thrown on! LOL! 

MC, I'm sending some good thoughts your way. You're so close and doing so good.  You've got this!

Char & MC, you'll have to come to Evansville and workout with us.  It's an experience you will not soon forget.  Just ask Miki!  Annette, enjoy your vacation!

Why does everything break at once?  Got home from my abs and calves workout and my computer was down and the furnace was not working (on the coldest night of the season so far)!  I was more upset about not being able to check in the forums than about the heat.  It was 60 degrees in the house this morning.  I slept in my hubands sleeping bag..it's good down to 5 degrees, so I was toasty.  And I have a heater for the bathroom, so it wasn't too bad.  Of course, my husband was loving it that cold!  Furnace guy was to come this morning and fix it, and hubby will get the parts and fix my computer tonight.  It's all good.  You know..in the past a day like that would cause me to stress eat.  But I was fine.  I couldn't do a template for today's meals, so I'm kind of winging it.  But since I pretty much eat the same thing everyday, it's not that big of a deal. 

Down another .5 today.  Did 20min on the elliptical in my cold cold cold basement this morning.  Chest & shoulders is tonight:)

Awesome workout.  I'm going to have to push harder and increase my weights.  I feel like a wimp next to you!

Don't give up....you know the weight will come down. 

Char, that reminds me of the scene in the movie "Facing the Giants."  All the kids on the football team were saying there was no way they could win. The coach blindfolds the one player, had another player get on his back, and the boy has to crawl down the field trying to get to 50 yards.  Coach pushed him and pushed him and when he was finally stopped he'd gone 100 yards.  That's a pretty powerful scene.  When my son's facing some difficult task or opponent in wrestling, I tell him to "Go 100 yards."  You definately went 100 yards!  Way to go!

Ha ha ha!  Yes, there was lots of grunting.  Sounded like I was giving birth!  I don't even know how heavy it was.  I didn't look before I started. Great seeing you too.  See you Thursday.

Down .5lbs today:)

Thanks Pam & Annette!  I really feel I have the mindset now.  Plus, I feel that I have to be strong so I can help my husband thru it too.  And his brother and his wife are trying to do the program too and will be here for Thanksgiving (and are who we'll be with in Indy.)  I feel like I have to set a good example for them. 

I had a great back workout with Team K tonight. Going  back on Thursday for legs.  I think I'll have to do abs and calves tomorrow, then chest & shoulders on Wed.  I hate to train 4 days in a row, but I won't be able to get to the gym Fri-Sat-Sun.  Friday our high school football team (my alma mater) is playing for the the semi-state title...and it's actually here in town.  I'm going to have to sqeeze some cardio in somewhere.  Guess I'll get up early tomorrow and do it

G-nite!

The concert was very good, but a bit emotional for me and my sister in law. I had a successful weekend of eating.  I'm up 1.5lbs from the cheat, but I forsee no problems getting that and more off this week.  This coming weekend will be a challenge.  I'm going to have to eat out 2 times on Saturday (taking my brother's youngest daughter out for birthday lunch and shopping, then in the evening will be going out for dinner with my SIL and my nephew's wife before going to see a play), and once on Sunday (my side of the family will meet at a restaurant for our Thanksgiving dinner.)  No cardio this morning.  I was up late last night because of the concert.  I'm going to try to get to Team K back class tonight, so that should make up for no cardio today!  I'm tired this morning, but in a great frame of mind focus wise:)

I miss it too.  It's a little different now with the guys separate from the girls though.

For my cheat meal I had a bowl of chili, grilled cheese (my healthy version), and an apple with PB2.  I'm very satisfied and still feeling in control. Yay!

I did get my chest & shoulders, bi's and tri's in this afternoon, while Josh did abs and calves.

Tomorrow I'm going with my sister in law to see Mercy Me perform at a local church. I'm excited about that.  Plus, it will have me out of the house at the time that I've been having the most problems.  Sunday evenings.

I'm pooped and going to bed. Nite all.

Thanks all!  It is a good feeling.  Just came from an unexpected potluck lunch after Josh's wrestling scrimmage and I did very well. I had carrots, grapes, one meatball, and one mini pumpkin tart. There were about 20 crockpots of pasta, soups, chili's and about that many pies and desserts.  It was a bit tempting, but I smothered any thoughts of eating any more.  I'm feeling pretty darn proud of myself! But, now I have to reschedule my chest & shoulders workout for later today because I didn't know about the lunch and the meeting after.  By the way, Josh got his first pin of this season at the scrimmage.  He  looks pretty good this year.  We just need to get some  more muscle on him and he'll be golden!

Craig, no, I'm not regular with the team  There's too much other stuff going on and it's too big of an expense right now.  You going back?
