Weight-Loss Halloween Challange: Caspers Countdown

Weight-Loss
Hi all!

I had a busy day today - went out with Bell to the flea market - with her and her MIL and some other ladies from church. We had a nice day. It was a really pretty day too.

I tried to eat well when we went out to lunch, but after I came home I calculated my cals. and I was already over my goal of 1360 for today. But I did eat a little for later - just so that I didn't feel like I was skipping dinner.

My cals were in the 1600's. :( Not where I wanted them, but I've done worse.

Not weighing myself, ugh...I'm about ready to cheat! JK! I will persevere! :D

Hey I thought you did pretty well.
And I almost cheated just a few minutes ago!!!
But I didn't. Only 3 more days then I can jump on the magic 8 ball!
 
Ok, this scale thing is killing me. I am working super hard because I am terrified of seeing the same number or even worse a higher number on the scale this Saturday. Since I can't see the progress, I have no idea where I am at this point...:rolleyes:
I have been super good as food goes. Making sure I get enough calories in, but I won't touch anything else besides my food-list for the day that I usually prepare the night before.
Exercise have been easier, it is becaming a habit to get up at 5.30 and most mornings I am up before the alarm goes off. And the night exercise I do is automatic also. I don't even think about it twice, it is a routine now. Like That!!!! :D
Our board is a little quiet!! Come on Caspers, I know you are burning the calories, let us hear about it!!!
Thurs-Fri and I can jump on my scale again.. YAY I CAN NOT WAIT.

Have a great Wednesday!!!

Isn't it funny that this seems to be the hardest challenge for us all? I didn't think it would be this hard. I would rather eat veggies all day or work out more than this! LOL

Not the vegetarian stuff either - cause some of that stuff is good! We enjoy a good boca burger, or vegetarian chili, or even "soy" riblets...now and then. ;)
 
Good Mornin Caspers!

How is everyone doing battling the urge to hop on the scale? Just think in 3 more days then you can see what number is revealed. I'm hoping to see a loss for sure, as I have been working hard in the exercise dept=
-30 min walk sunday
-1 walk to school and back + 30 min on NT monday
-2 walks to school and back + 30 min on NT tuesday
-30 min on NT this am
(and I plan on gettin on the NT everyday the rest of the week)

Have a great day folks!

Doing good Yarmiah!

I just got finished with my workout - elliptical (20 min.) and treadmill (30 min.).

Have a good one everyone!


3 more days!!!!
 
Hey All!
Everyone looks like they are doing really good.
Just got done Super-Cleaning the house while MIL is out with dh.
I really don't like having an audience while I'll clean. It's unnerving.
Would like everyone to please pray for a good friend of mine. She has been battling a brain tumor since Mother's Day. Had surgery in May to try and remove it. They were unable to get all of it. Had radiation all thru-out the summer. Started chemo at about the same time I started my new healthy life-style. She finds out today via MRI if any of the interventions are doing any good. She and her dh are a nervous wreck.
If you are a praying person please pray for peace with the results no matter good or bad. And also for peace during the procedure.
MRI is at 2pm EST and they will be told the results at 3pm.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PRAY!
This woman means the world to me!!
Thank You!
 
Bellaryna,

That is a lot for your friend and her husband to go through. Once in awhile, I work with cancer patients. I can totally empathesize with them. I don't pray, but I wish your friend the best of luck.
 
Hello everyone;


I've been very good this week. I haven't stepped on the scale since last Saturday. I'm sort of torn between the scale thing. I want to step on the scale to find out how much I weight, but then do I really want to know if I gained or lost. I plan on holding out until this coming Saturday!

Between working 12 hour shifts and going to school part time to get my bachelors, I'm a busy girl! However, I still found the time to exercise everyday with my busy schedule :)

Good luck everyone! Keep up the good work Caspers :beerchug:
 
Hi Bell,
It is 5pm central so she probably already got the news. I pray that it was good news. Take care of you and your friend.

I woke up at 4:45am to go to the gym. Just like Hajni, I am getting used to it now. I did lower body weights, then moved to the treadmill where I did 20 minutes of walking/jogging. Then I went on the eliptical for 30 minutes. I worked up a huge sweat...it felt good.

Good job on everyones dedication to exercise(and staying away from the scale).
Cathy
 
Ok so I know I have been nonexistant all week, but I started a new job and I've had so much going on with school, I had a presentation, a paper and a test today to do today!

I don't know how I've been doing, I'm worried that it isn't well.
I have my weight watchers meeting tomorrow so I'll find out, but I almost don't want to go I'm just so scared. Wish me luck! and congrats to everybody who did well this week.

Bellaryna I will DEFINITLY be praying for your friend.
 
I did really good today felt like I had a full but healthy day of my new life style. I went for a long walk this afternoon for 1 1/2 hour and since I cant make the gym tonight I may go for another shorter walk later
 
Hello Caspers- stopped by to post my quote of the day as I forgot ealier.

DaniellM- as long as you are doing your best, you ahve nothing to fear tomorrow. /send {{{skinny vibes}}}. Currently I'm on 24 pts per week, and hope that I will move into the next range by Sat's weigh in(still tryin to grasp the concept of lookign forward to be allowed less points:rotflmao:)
Today900 -awsome job gettin in the exercise, anyway ya can!
Bell- I hope your friend does well
Tenish- way to go, staying focused when you have so much on your "plate" already :rofl:

The results are in!!!

:angel:GOOD NEWS!!!:angel:

They did NOT see anything!!!!!:jump::jump::jump:
This doesn't mean she is cured, but does mean that all the Chemo and Radiation has not been for nothing! Now she moves onto Duke University next week where they specialize in this kind of cancer. They will see if there is anything else they should be doing.
THANK YOU! to everyone who was praying.
I can't tell you how much it means to me!!!!
 
YEAH! I am so happy for you and your friend and her family. Prayers that everything continues to be good news.

Thanks f2f!
I can't ever tell you how much it means to me that you will continue to pray for her. She is the sweetest soul. And finding out she had this just devastated her. Now that we have good results I know she will fight with all her might!!!
Thanks Again! and God Bless You!!!!
 
Hey all just a quick check-in this morning. Bell and I did ok, but not great, but it was all good and fun!

She's a party girl - JK - but if she were (and I were) we'd be quite the pair! We hooped it up at the restaurant - got carded over diet coke and ice tea. :D Then, we took it over to Kohls she got her some new tennies - and wore them out of the store, the lady at the register didn't know what to do with her. She was checking her old boots for the correct sizes inside the box - even though we explained to her that she was wearing the tennies! She threw her leg up on the counter to show her! :rofl:

Then we made a mad dash to the Barnes and Noble store - and tore around in there like it was nobody's business - reading diet books of all things! Of course while picking up the calorie counting books we should've been looking at the cals of those frappuccinos we decided to have (good thing we picked lite!) Then, we got this real fun book - well I got it - but you know she will be using it all the time when she gets her hands on it. It's a TV Alter Ego book - and it's quite fun!

So then we closed out the Bed, Bath, and Beyond store - we were like the only customers in there when they announced the "take your time and shop, but the store is now closed" message. So we fooled around for a few more min. 'til we got to the register so she could buy a bday card! LOL
The funny thing was when we went in to the store it was 10 min. till 9 and the cashier wouldn't look at us when we came in. Kind of like the dog who if they don't see you, you don't see them look. LOL

I :beating: my Bell, she's a hoot!
 
Where'd all the friendly ghosts go?


Just one more day til weigh-in!!! Yay!
