Team Skinny (Aug 2008) Turning the Corner (Page 4)

ok, here we go for the week

starting weight 191 lbs      goal 186 lbs.

todays weight

188

back to where i was at the end of July.   it's been tough for me to stay under 190, hoping i can at the minimum get to 187 for next week.

great job Xmann, way to kick the month off on the right foot

So toss over the soap box kids here we go:

Man am I having a week from way down south. My wife is on a houseboat trip for the week in Kentucky, we live in Michigan, and won't be back til Sat early and left late Sunday. So are son, 2.5, gets Hand, Foot, and mouth last week Friday. (For those who don't know it is viral and causes sores inside there mouth like canker sores and also on there feet and hands.)

So he hasn't ate since Friday and only drinks yogurt and Chocolate milk (pediatrician says its okay as long as he keeps peeing and keeps drinking) Well now today he gets constipated horribly bad. So I am waaaaaayyy behind with work. He isn't sleeping for squat. He finally pooped tonight after 4 days (sorry way to much info I know)

Then my chocolate lab gets sick and is hurling all over luckily outside. Then I get a call from my brother who works for me on the weekends and he can't work this weekend cause of his job. So now I have more work to do myself.

So today began with bringing my son to daycare for about 7 hours while I went and worked. Then I picked him up and dropped at some friends who took care of him and dealt with his poop issues tonight and I worked til 11:30PM.

Now I am finally home, got the dog walked (odd pushing a stroller with my dog at midnight) and got the little man to bed. WHeEEEEWWWW!!!!

So who's drinkin, I am buying

today's weight: 148.6

august start: 148.4

last week: 150.0

make of that what you will

Last:149

Today: 149  Can't complain I am below my goal.

Shermy,  Sorry to hear about that stuff,  but on the bright side I am feeling pretty good.

Good morning Skinnies hope all is going well (with the exception of Shermy who's life sucks right now).

Morning all....glad to see yer all hanging in there.  Sherm, so sorry about your recent troubles!  ai yai yai, that hand foot thing does not sound like fun!

My life got turned upside down -- hence my absence last week -- with a recent loss (the TN church shooting,more in the Michigan forum) and I'm slowly coming round.

HA the upshot, STRESS the new diet wonder, actually when I got back to MI from my disaster, Sunday morn, I was down to 137.6

BUT like a real trooper, I took care of my nutritional needs and today am 139.6 but am happy I dipped under 140!

I'm starting out at 166.8. My ultimate goal is 160 but lets go with baby steps and say 164.

Sherm, I have 4 kids and 2 out of the 4 had HFM. Sorry!This too shall pass.

Good morning, everyone!

Sherm, your story is just the epitome of Murphy's Law fulfilled.  I'm so sorry to hear about your son and your dog.  I really hope they're both feeling better now.

Weigh In: 167.5-kinda stuck here with all the weekend traveling
Goal: Get Under 160

Well, I've cut myself down to one can of soda a day. Its rough-had a horrible migraine yesterday. Better today. It'll be rough for a few days-always has been when I've tried to quit drinking soda in the past. At least I'm doing this before the fall semester starts.  

today 252.4

goal 245 had a pretty good week of training so far I guess we'll see if I make it

Thanks for the support and the laughs
