Hi guys! Busy days at work this week so I can wrap things up before being on vacation next week.
6/22 - 50 minutes
6/23 - 68 minutes
Today got some Leslie in, a little treadmill at lunch, and dancing this evening (figured dancing to The Wiggles with my little one is not only fun, but pretty good exercise too.) Got my 13k steps in which was good to see because I didn't hit that the last couple of days.
Mary - great job with the jazzercise! Is that easy on the joints? I love my Leslie videos but would like to find another kind of program/video to mix things up some days.
Flo - how do you do it? You are an exercise machine girl!!
Sue - Sorry the mosquitos thought you were a sweet treat. Darn pests! :-( We usually have them terrible, but this year we hired Mosquito Squad to come every 2 weeks to spray a natural repellant. My toddler is over-sensitive to bug bites and gets baseball-size scabby welts when she gets a bite. We've been able to enjoy our outdoor space again and not have a single bite. Hope you had a good time at the gym!
Roger - how are you feeling?
Have a great night all!

Hey Sue. Oh, yes, I made sure I got enough water. I won't be doing that again, however, because it just didn't make me feel "right" afterwards. I spent the latter part of the afternoon just trying to compensate on how it made me feel.mrs17alvarez wrote: »Hi guys!

Well, thank you, Amanda. I can honestly tell you that NO ONE has EVER said that about me. Made me feel good, ya know? I am proud of the fact that my refined eating plan has me getting out and moving every single day.:)
Great job on your minutes, too.
And, you have a good night.
GOOD NIGHT TO EVERYONE!:)

6/23 - 60 minutes (Jazzercise)
That's it for me for a couple of days... Going to see Hairspray tomorrow night and then meeting an old friend for dinner on Thursday. I'll get some walking in during the day but not intense enough to count it as exercise, at least the way I track it.
Sue, I do the same thing with walking at work. Some days are better than others... Jazzercise is great fun and a good well-rounded workout with cardio, strength training, and stretching. Something I don't hate doing even though it can be hard...
Flo, I cracked up about the mosquitos. They have always loved me too!!~
Amanda, Jazzercise can be hard on your joints, but you can always adjust and make it low-impact. For example during the jumping moves, I'm power marching. I do handle the skipping well and squatting moves, but my knees are pretty good. I do avoid the ball; legs are too dang short. But I will do an alternative exercise that works same area and is just as effective. Doesn't really matter as long as you keep moving through the songs.
Have a good night everyone!!!

Good morning all, sorry for not posting last night but I was a tired girl....I crammed in 70 minutes of exercise yesterday which was good....got a shower and hit to bed.....However, a happy dance moment for me to share with you guys:
I bought some new jeans last week in a smaller size as mine currently got kinda loose and well I decided it was reward time to get below that magical 200 lbs. mark. Anyways, to make a long story short: they fit which makes it officially 3 whole dress sizes down since January 1st. I can't even remember when I was able to wear this size. Just figured I'd share it with you guys))))))))) yes I am smiling from top to bottom and from ear to ear haha.
Flo, I can imagine that you felt worn out or how you said it "because it just didn't make me feel "right" afterwards". I hope you feel better this morning. Still inspiring that you did it and worked through it and how you kick my butt in minutes lolol .
Amanda, oh wow sorry to hear that about your toddler. I know how these little critters got me so I can just imagine being overly sensitive to them. I am glad that you have somebody coming to help you with this issue. This year it is really bad because of all the rain this country received. I try not to go outside after like 4:30 in the afternoon as that is the time when they come out and get bad sigh. Nice work on your exercise!!!
Mary, I am with you that some days are better than others and sadly the heat isn't helping but I put my time in during the day so i at least walk consistently 30 minutes at lunch.

Have a great time tonight at Hairspray, Mary. I would love to see something like that.
I remember doing jazzercise at the Church I belonged to years and years ago. Now, however, I just don't think I could even begin to try it. I'm trying Leslie DVDs and have to be really careful w/my knees.Good morning all, sorry for not posting last night but I was a tired girl....I crammed in 70 minutes of exercise yesterday which was good....got a shower and hit to bed.....However, a happy dance moment for me to share with you guys:

I'm smiling for you, Sue. I know exactly how you feel. A wonderful sense of accomplishment and pride. Makes you want to persevere and you (I) will.
After a not-so-good night's sleep, felt off early on this a.m., but had to work through it for had class all day long. I did o.k. though. I was able to eat OP, stay hydrated, walk a little (in doors), and now I'm going to just chill the remainder of the evening until bed time.

6/26 - 90 minutes
Family was supposed to come visit tomorrow but late Friday plans changed & now we're going to visit them so I'm getting things ready for that. Hubby treats the house like a dorm room when I go away, so I figured I'd at least get the house clean before he messes it all up. Any who, in my attempt to tidy up I logged over 50 flights of stairs yesterday on my Fitbit (it would have been more if my tracker would consistently count my basement stairs as a flight so I was probably closer to 60-65 flights.) But I love the silly little badges Fitbit gives when you hit different accomplishments - yesterday's was the Lighthouse Badge and I was so proud.
Have a great Sunday everyone!

Way to go, Amanda!!! I like seeing the Fitbit results, too!
Yesterday afternoon I took my mom shopping and when I got back to her house, I thought, with Jazzercise and shoppping, I should be doing great with steps. But was horrified when I went to look at my Fitbit One and it was gone. Somehow it popped out of it's holder and I didn't realize it...
BUT, the good news is that when I got home, found it on my bathroom rug. Missed the afternoon steps, but not lost! YIPPEE!!!

Wow, oh, WOW, Amanda. What a workout. I cannot imagine all those flights.
I had to laugh 'cause my hubby does the same thing. LOL! Have fun on your visit.

Oh, you are so lucky, Mary.
Same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago and never found mine (MisFit). It's smushed in a parking lot somewhere, I'm sure. Had to re-order a new one. Glad you found yours.

LOL... Sorry you lost your "MisFit" and had to order a another one... Guess I am lucky with the dang thing because it's the 2nd time I've lost and found it. Last year I had it clipped on my shoe when riding my bike and when I stopped at a light 2 miles down the trail and looked down, it was gone. Immediately rode the 2 miles back and found it on the ground behind my car. Must have knocked it off when I got on my bike...

Good morning guys, sorry that I was MIA for the past days...but we were out in nature since Friday on our camping property. I don't think I have ever moved around as much as I did in the past two days. Friday we just camped and had a bonfire and such. I was good and did not cheat on my food intake. I took my NS foods with me. I have no idea how to count all that exercise but I figured 200 minutes overall is ok...I know it was way more than that. Anywhooooo this morning my scale showed -3.0 lbs....woot....but my bones tell me quit moving so darn much for the next day or so lol...mrs17alvarez wrote: »Nightingale2200 wrote: »HELLO, Amanda.

Mary so glad that you found your Fitbit. My first one actually broke....stopped monitoring my steps and such...was just a little zip I had...so hubby was sweet and got me a Fitbit Charge...and I love that thing lol. 0 -
Here is the ticker. Not sure if I made that clear but I am counting 200 minutes per day. Thursday and Friday was less with 60 minutes and 120 minutes ...so to add all of that up sigh....activating my math brain ....umm where was my calculator lol?

Sue, does the Fitbit Charge the bracelet kind? Sometimes I wish I liked wearing something on my wrist, but usually don't, especially when it's rubber, like those bands everyone was wearing for awhile. Have thought about upgrading because it would be nice to get the Fitbit that automatically knows when you're sleeping instead of having to remember to put my sleep band on and push the little button... : -)0
-
Mary, yes I have the bracelet kind....it took some time to get used to side I am not a watch wearer. But I absolutely love it...I have not entered my sleep time though....I guess never got to that part as I don't wear it at night....just doesn't feel ok with it at night...but that's just me lol.
Flo I hope you will have a good time with your company. Was some nice workout there lol.
I am certain I moved more but didn't really know what to enter. We had an absolute blast 0 -
