instead of a fatty bbq
I am so proud of myself this 4th of July!! Instead of going to a bbq and eating a cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chips, and dip, I went with my workout pal to the gym and worked my butt off - literally. We did 45 min. on the elliptical and 15 min. on the stairmaster, and worked on our arms strength training. I also went to a…

Ran my first 1/2 marathon!!!
One of my fitness goals was to motivate myself to exercise. So I went crazy and decided to enter a 1/2 marathon. I finished it, running most of time the first 8 miles and then walking/running the other 5 miles. It was fantastic!! I ran it in Anchorage Alaska! The weather was perfect for running....cold. Anyway..if I can do…

I can breathe again...I was quite unsure if I'd lost anything, even though my work out pants have me walking around like one of those low butt trouser wearing teenagers,I'm yanking them up constantly and afraid they are gonna fall off:blushing: The support and…

Really wanted to snack tonight!
Wanted to snack but I did great, I thought about it long and hard. I even grabbed a hand full of pretzel sticks and started to snack on them when I looked at the calories and put them back. I ate 2. But then I thought about it and grabbed myself a wonderful tomato and sliced it up and mmmmm, it hit the spot. It even had a…

Week 1 check in....down 2.2 pounds
ok..I am amazed. I am eating more than I use to eat. Who would have thunk 1200 calories plus exercise calories would be the answer. I am so tickled that the scale is finally going down. I have not been the bottom side of 155 in FOREVER!! ok..time to go eat again..LOL :glasses:
-
Yeah, on day 5 or 6 and fianlly lost that 2 pound!
I was waiting for it to show on the scale, it toyed with me. Some mornings it would say I was less but then I like to make double sure and even triple sure and then it would come back. Officially this morning after 4 weigh ins in over a 2 hour time, it stayed away and with a .2 clearance! I know some people say you…

fourth day at MFP
So, I'm officially on day four here and I must say that I love it! I don't know if it's just a mind trick, but since I've been cutting calories and eating smaller meals more often, I've noticed a difference in just how full I feel... last night I went out to eat and I had just a turkey club sandwich (no mayo, no french…

The month of June!
Okay, so I started this whole "better life" thing officially on June 1, 2008. I've wrote down everything & just a few minutes ago I compared my lifestyle now, to my lifestyle 30+ days ago. When I was in school, I'd eat out about 4-5 times a week (including weekends) .. So that's approximately 16-20 times eating out a…

Okay...So I posted...
I don't hate my body so much and I want to thank all the little people who have pushed/ignored/answered/snuggled/and tolerated me over the past few months so I could get what remains of some of my schexy back... :laugh: Thanks MFP friends for your support! Keep up the good work, I still have 20 pounds to go! :tongue:

Well after being with MFP since April I have gone from 130 lbs to 121 lbs..6 lbs from my ultimate goal! I just wanted to…

Baby Steps
So today was the first "official" day of my diet. It was really stressful, had to go to court, and so I couldn't eat breakfast I was so sick to my stomach. After such a stressful morning everyone just wanted good restaraunt food, so we went to red robin. While I did order a chicken burger and LOVE the fries....I DID do…

Suits
Hello all, yesterday felt good, I had to get all of my suits refitted to the newer me for a friends wedding coming up. They have to take off several inches from the waist of my pants and several more from my dress shirts. The price is a little bit, but i'd rather be paying for taking suits in than to be buying larger ones!…

Super Strong!
So I'm usually pretty rushed in the AM. I get up, shower, iron my clothes, blow dry my hair, pack my lunch, get dressed for work and ride out. A normal morning for many a happy employee. I typically run about ten minutes late so I eat breakfast when I get to work. I get a cup of hot water and two little pats of butter from…

10 pounds shed
It took about five weeks of nothing through most of May, but then I dropped about four pounds of water weight (I now drink water like crazy, which has helped stop rampant water retention) and started losing in earnest in June. It's just a pound a week because the only exercise I'm able to do is fast walking for about an…

I'm actually LOSING
I'm excited to announce that I'm LOSING weight. After months of being on a plateau (and losing motivation by the day because the scale was up-down-up-down-up-down), for the past four weeks I have lost weight every week except one (the one week that every woman dreads and gains no matter what). As of today, I've lost 4.2…
