Frustration: a deep chronic sense or state of insecurity and dissatisfaction arising from unresolved problems or unfulfilled needs
It is going to be a challenge- with it getting dark earlier, and getting colder - but we can totally do this! Let's see how much we can kick our own rear in gear, now through Thanksgiving! Let's earn that "cheat" day, by making the best choices we can between now and then! Keep using the Facebook wall to get inspiration, or share inspiration, throughout the week! Lets get everyone involved in this mission! Use your resources!

- SHARE: Ugh this week sucked! Seriously. I was on a business trip so I didn't eat very well during that (long hours + no breaks = stuffed my face) and then once I got home I got sick and was laid up for a few days. However, I did have a bit of a break through. I don't know about you but my biggest fear when flying is that I will be that person who the airlines says is too big and has to buy a second seat. Well, my flight home was sort of like this. I was in the exit row of an insanely small plane and had to use my extender belt because the seat belt just didn't fit all the way. Everyone was seated and the flight attendent was coming around and checking everything. When she got to me she said "Oh no honey we can't allow you to sit in the exit row if you have to use one of those. I'm going to need to move you to the very back of the plane where there's a few rows where no one is seated." So, in front of everyone I had to make a "walk of shame" to the very back of the plane. I was absolutely mortified. I just wanted to curl up and die or hide under a rock and never come out. While i was sitting in my seat feeling horrible I thought to myself, "don't let this ruin your entire day. its already happened, you can't do anything about it. so what if these people are judging you, you probably won't ever see them again. so don't focus on it. you're fine." So after a few calming braeths I decided to just let it go. And it worked! I didn't focus on it that day. I didn't let that incident determine my self worth. Anyway, today is the start of a new week and anothEr chance to reach my goals!
- It really helped me understand that other people do not have control over how I feel. That I am ultimately the one who controls that and that sometimes it requires me to be brave and trust in who I am.
- Lose 53 pounds (RNR)
- Lose 8-10 pounds (Same weight as last week)
- Walk 3x/week
- Cut back on emotional eating
- SHARE: No weight loss, no weight gain. Ate too much Halloween candy, but gave most of it away. Have had a bad cold for the past 3 days, so did not exercise in 1 week. I feel lucky that I did not gain!
- Lose 10 pounds (Lost .8 pounds)
- Run at least 10 miles per week (Ran 9.2 miles)
- SHARE: Results weren't bad considering we 'vacationed' in MI last weekend & I had 4 district managers in at work most of the week.
- TIP: Handing out mini-microwave popcorn bags instead of candy was a HIT with the kiddos and resulted in no leftover candy for me to snack on!
- Lose between 10-15 pounds (RNR)
- SHARE: This was not a good week for me.....I ate too much Halloween candy because of that was afraid to weigh myself and didn't. On a better note, the end of the week was much better for me. I didn't meet my 4 times of exercise either. I have to start exercising somehow first thing in the morning. I have been so tired this week and by the time I get the kids in bed it's at least 8:30. I already get up at 6 to get ready before the kids go to school. I don't know if I can do 5am. I feel like with it getting dark at 6:30 and the school schedule I have had a terrible time finding a new workout routine. I will do better next week! I have too!
Carrot Top
- Lose 50 pounds (Same weight as last week for total loss of 1 pound)
- Drop 3 sizes (in progress)
- Exercise 3x/week for 30-40 minutes (Opportunity for improvement)
- SHARE: I have a scale! It tells me every week I am at the same weight as last week. I think exercise is key and I am working a lot and not building that in.The sedentary work lifestyle of cubicle land has me in a 10-year rut. Very tough to break. Add the Minnesota winter and I am 50 pounds heavier than when I lived in New York and walked everywhere. Zero progress this week and I have No Halloween candy ion the house. Grrrrrrr!!!!!

Stephanie K (aka: Steaming Myself to Hotness)
- Lose 17 pounds (Gained .2 pounds for a total loss of 6.2)
- see her clavicles (in progress)
- SHARE: It could have been worse – but that’s not a really good way to get myself motivated. I’m struggling with what I want to eat vs. what I should eat. I was excited the first week because I could incorporate one piece of chocolate and it felt like a treat. Now, however, I’m back to thinking that even if I’ve had 4 pieces – it’s still not enough. Also the booze from Vic Amore’s wedding did not probably help my situation – and I also had a run in with my roommate’s tortilla chips and queso. I guess I should feel better about only gaining .2 lbs! But I don’t. Must have a better number on the scales next week.
Dawn
- Lose 10 pounds (Lost .2 pound for a total loss of 2.2)
- exercise 4 times per week (yes! actually 6!!)
Lisa
- Lose 30 pounds (Same weight as last week)
- SHARE: I lost 1 lb very excited but then I gained it back oops got a little to confident. I'm gonna keep trying! My work out are going good I'm only in pain a few days a week rather than all the time. I pretty sure I can feel my bicep now that is also encouraging now I just need to combine calorie reduction with the work out. Usually I tend to focus on one or the other rather that diet and exercise combined it is my ultimate goal and I have a few days of success see the scale go down the up the calories again. I'm focused and hopefully next week I will see the scale go down and stay down.

- get 7 hours of sleep at least 4 times per week (YES!!!)
- (after I commented that for B-Linda, the sleep is probably the much more important goal for her, I received this response. SHOUT OUT for using the term FUPA!!) SHARE: I was happy with no gain. I’m trying to come to terms with my weight not being that bad – just not distributed as well as I’d like. I’m trying to work on acceptance of where I am while recognizing if I lost 10-15 pounds (and could keep it off) I’d be ecstatic…though probably still not happy with the distribution. The FUPA and leg fat sag will likely always bug me

CCS
- lose 25 pounds (Same weight as last week for a total loss of 2.2 pounds)
- increase activity (RNR)
- eating treats means exercise first
- SHARE: I stayed the same weight this week. I honestly feel like the scale hates me! I even had people at work comment that I look like I have lost weight...but the scale won't budge. Its very frustrating. I do feel a lot better then I did a couple of weeks ago because I have exercised 5 times a week, increased fruits and veggies, and I've been sleeping better. I am glad that I have a support group to know I am not the only one who is struggling. I am hoping one of these weeks my body will kick into "weight loss" mode. I hope everyone did well this week. Sincerely,"frustrated" CCS

Out of my system now and back on track.
