Good evening!
Welcome to another week evening of the Chunky Dunker’s Group!
Chunky Dunkers is a weekly weight loss/get fit support group that meet here online every Wednesday evening to get the opportunity to comment, and cheer each other as you each go through your journey to get fit and healthy!!! We will discuss hints, tips, and ideas on losing weight, staying motivated, and achieving your fitness goals, whether that is to lose 5 pounds, to do 10 sit-ups, or just incorporate some healthy habits into your daily life!!
As always, everyone and anyone is welcome to join us, so please feel free to chime in on our conversation in the comment section above, or you are welcome to quietly follow along, whichever you prefer. I look forward to hearing about all of your successes!
This week, I thought I would just take a moment to remind yourself to be gentle with yourself. I know that as I have been personally struggling with this issue of weight loss and getting fit, I let my inner critic really get me down, and I have a tendency to believe the negative things that she has to say while she is berating me for not measuring up, or not making the goal, or not doing as much as someone else, and I realize that when I listen to her, it tends to make me feel worse, and not better. Which in turn causes me to do less of what I know I ought to be doing. So tonight, instead of going through a list of things to do, or not to do, I am just going to leave with you thins:
Dear Self,
Be gentle with yourself, you are a complicated being, and sometimes being out of shape is more about what else is going on in your life and not only what you are doing or not doing. Take time to listen to your needs, pamper yourself, and reward yourself in non-food ways when you have made even the smallest baby-step in the right direction. You are sooo worth it!!
Love,
Your Self!!
Keep that in mind as you go through this week! We are all rooting for you!! 😉
Have a FABULOUS week! 😉
well hello all how is your week going. ok i don’t know about the note to self. i sound funny if i think of myself in the third person
That is alright, sometimes it is good to feel funny! 🙂
How is everyone doing tonight!! 😉
i’m good it has been realy quit around here with Aaron in school gavin has been working on some school stuff to we did the alphabet yesterday he was not very happy with me reading it over and over agian
That is cool! Those boys are getting so big!! They are going to be men before we know it!! How are your get fit goals going?
Still having fun taking the boys out for their evening walks?
been doing cub scout stuff gett things workd out because i am going to be the cub master this year and things are a big mess right now
Wow! That is cool! You are going to be busy! 🙂
i now weight 245 i am trying but with not much luck. down to 3 saodas a week witch i think it is good because i used to do about 9 in a week
Good job, Sis!! Every little bit helps!
I would like to say that I am doing well, but in all honesty! I have fallen off of my own wagon, and I am feeling very old!! I got to get back to eating more fruits, veggies and getting more walking in!! I miss that!! I realize I am more out of shape now than I was a year ago!!
I am hoping that being on vacation for the next two weeks will get things back on track again!! For both Jason and I!! 😉
i have been not healthy since we got back from la area. so for 8 years
What were you doing there that is different then what you are doing now?
Hiya Alice, Hey Babe. I had a grumpy day but I guess that’s how things go with work. I am a lot more active since I stopped playing video games and getting out of the house to do things. I need to go get weighed to see if I have had any progress. Doubt it but we will see.
You are doing so great in your new job!! I am very proud of you, love!!
Hi Everyone! I did not get the text on my phone til just a couple minutes ago. I am trying to catch up on all the comments.
I have not done well this last week. I have had soda and ice cream. I haven’t even walked that much except when I am at work and that isn’t much.
Hey, Trina! It is good to see you!! I have been in the same boat, which is why the message tonight is to be gentle with yourself and just get started again, with where you are, with what you have! 🙂
I have to say that I have been having sherbert and ice cream lately. SO damned hot! But the last few days it has been salad for dinner! I miss them so much! I have crab salad to throw on greens with peppercinis and tomatoes for lunch tomorrow.
Hmmmm…that sounds good! 😉
Trina, you just need some hot guy to chase you down the street once a day lol. ;P
Jason, are you volunteering???
We know someone from our past who always wanted to marry a Basso in mind! He would chase you, Trina!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! No! Heck no!
I guess that is a no??? HAHAHA!!
Thanks, the man I want apparently doesn’t like big women or, as Jennifer puts it, he is her’s. It is Taylor Lautner.
LOL!! That is funny!! be careful, he turns into a dog when he gets mad!!
I think if Jason does it, it will be good exercise for him too!! 😉
He would catch me fast though because he has longer strides.
I would be glad to but I need to make sure she is current on her first aid training for when I collapse. I Ewwwww on that guy Alice.
LOL! Jason you are too funny! Has anyone seen Mo’nique in Phat Girlz?? There is a gorgeous black man in there that needs some ALexa in his life.
so i have been eating out less and i drink more sodas now then i have ever did before. i am just now trying to do less eating out and less soda.walking more as well.
Last week I started walking again. Then got put on bed rest and now I am always tired, If I get a paper cut I am going to go down.
Hey Jennifer!! I am glad to see your computer is behaving!! 😉 NO PAPERCUTS THEN!!! 😉
Can I have your stuff when you go down?
You are probably losing weight – gram by gram!!! 😉
I think oz by oz more than gram by gram
Jennifer, can you feel the love?? Trina already has your stuff called for!! 😉
Drama Drama Drama, lol. So I guess your just gonna have to sweat to the oldies from the couch. WooHoo.
Man, what would that look like??
It would look like a tidal wave
No I had to give blood the other day. I am not surprised I didnt go down then. I could have sit on a bucket and bleed faster for them.
Keep it clean – don’t make me sensor you, Red! 😉
no poor jen would not only sweat to death but bleed as well. just hope it dose not get hot no nose bleeds either
Alice, are you still here?? Trina??
Ewwwwwww, nasty. True most likely but still. You must have Vamps following you like dogs following a hotdog cart.
Ok, that’s it – it’s time to change the subject!!! 😉
Thanks for that image. Jenn would be happier having a certain wolf following her instead. lol
I wonder where Alex is tonight! I hope she is having a good week!! and I hear that Nette has been riding her bike to work a couple of times since last week!! WHEW!! 😉
Wow! I am glad to hear she is doing that more. That should help her stress levels.
Yes, it is still impressive that she can do that!!! It still makes my crotch-ell hurt just thinking about it!! OUCH!
Hey, Alex! I see that you just hopped on!! 😉
Gavin had fun riding his bike to the mail box today i had to jog a little he wanted to go fast
That is cool, Alice! You just have to KNOW he LOVED that!! he is such a go-go-go little boy!!! 😉
At least now he uses the pedals. He told me a few weeks ago that the pedals were broken. hehehe
LOL! He is so smart!! He probably just wanted someone to push him down the street!! 😉
No he didn’t want to be pushed around, but he wouldn’t use the pedals He is a weird boy, but I love him.
So Trina, find any guys there in Roseburg worth dating.
No, I haven’t. Most guys I know here are either really old or really annoying.
Don’t worry Trina, even when you marry one – that doesn’t change!! HAHAHAHA!! BTW – just kidding! 😉
HELLOOOOHHH! That is why I said outside your area.
Thanks for the advice. hehehe
Did I miss something? Jen why are you on bed rest
Jennifer, what have you been doing to not go crazy during your bed rest?
she dose not stay in bed sits on the couch and crafts
Poor Austin!!J
i have done several chores, but of course got dirty looks. I have also done crafts for the craft fair. Then I have been playing on the comp or watching netflicks.
Chores are NOT in the repertoire of bed rest, silly girl!!
Don’t make me send my bouncer down your way!!
That is what we have been telling her!
Boss Austin around of course.
Poor Austin!!
No, not bossing him around. If it doesnt get done right I will be up doing it. He has me trained.
Jennifer, are you still getting ready for the Christmas Bazaar? When is that again?
Did we lose Phefinut???
No, she is having some issues with her lab top.
You didnt lose me. I am not seeing most of this information until way later. I dont know why I cant see everyone’s post.
is a lab top anything like a lap top. LOL
LOL @ Jay! What’s sad is that we all understood that the first time.
woops!
Work is massive crazy busy! So I am constantly getting up and down and walking all over the office. I miss my pool though! I need to find a house that has a pool in the community. They have a lot of those around.
Yes, we just found out our pool is going to be closed for 6 weeks, so they can remodel!! BUMMER!! I may have to break down and get a membership to the Courthouse!!
Why are they doing that? They had the pool closed the last time I was there.
They are refinishing the whole pool, and removing the astro-turf-type stuff/carpeting!
You should get a little kiddy pool for your kitchen.
I would have to fight Fay and Sophie to get pool time!! They are such Divas!! and you know Sophie won’t swim with a floral pool cap on!!! LOL!
That is great that you are walking a lot though sis!! I can’t even claim that!! I am really feeling like a bump on a log! I have been so focused on being an artist, and all that entails – I am going to have to pretend that this artist is also a serious walker!!
she has some cute stuff i want. she said she would sale it to me for big bucks
Big bucks, huh??
yeah she thinks i am rich
so gavin and i are having fun he is showing me perry and canice he is looking at a phines and freb book
What’s that? A cartoon?
I am suprized you don’t know what Phineas and Ferb. It is pretty much Aaron and Gavin’s favorite show.
Yep…its their favorite cartoon.
yes of course
Remember, we don’t have cable, so we are out of the loop!
no they watch it on netfix we dont have cale either
I like the idea of having access to the Courthouse. I am hoping with this new job I will be able to pay for it and have the flex in my schedule to go everyday.
I would love that, but only if you pay for me too!!! 😉
file:///F:/WWW/HTML3.htm
go here and tell me if it works for you. Pleaaase
Huh???
Didn’t work for me.
I am working on learning to write html and xhtml
Anyway, does everyone have a three day weekend?? Any plans???
We are pretty much staying home to get ready for our vacation!!
I have no plans.
Well, I need to clean my room. I don’t want to, but I should. I had another spider in my room and then there was an even bigger one out in the livingroom last night.
EEK!!! Trina get rid of all of those before Jay and I come down to visit, please!!
I have to work. So no plans. The thing about being down for a week, I cant do anything that I want to do.
I will have both kids. I am supposed to be making plans to get with a couple of girlfriends on Saturday. Chris will get to play with one of their sons his age.
These girls make me laugh so hard!
Not to mention our family has grown +1 today…so we will be going to the park a couple times too
That is cool! Tell us about the +1
Alex, I LOVED that you posted a new blog posting this week!! I almost cheered out loud!!! 😉
Thank you sis! It was nice to get back on it. I have to fight for PC time with the kids. OIE VEY
Yes, it was a very pleasant surprise!!!
Yeah, get ready to be on Vacation with my GurlZ
no plans yet i would love to get stuff clean up and out of my house. i am deep cleanign everything
Yes, Jason may not realize it yet, but we are deep cleaning too, so I can come home to a CLEAN house when we get back from camping!! That is TRUE BLISS!!!
Anyone heard from Dad lately? Is he doing well, I need to call him!
He was doing well last night when I saw him. We had fun at the luau thing we had at the corps last night.

No I havent heard from dad recently
Go to my FB page and check out the newest member of the Moody clan. His name is Shadow and he is 7mos old, fully upto date with shots, fixed housebroken. Gives high fives low fives, fetches dances plays hide and seek. HE HAS SO MMUCH character and LOVES him some Chris. The previous owner was so allergic to him and finally had it. She was so sad when we left.
Oh, that is so cool!!! What kind of dog is Shadow?
Shadow is a lab retriever mix and I am sure he has a little chow in him because his tongue has a couple of spots on it.
Hey, I just hit my most hits in one day!! WHOO! HOO!! 😉
