Quote of the day:
"A small trouble is like a pebble. Hold it too close to your eye and it fills the whole world and puts everything out of focus. Hold it at a proper distance and it can be examined and properly classified. Throw it at your feet and it can be seen in its true setting, just one more tiny bump on the pathway of life."
Celia Luce

Well I did legs then went to the cardio cinema today and got sucked into the movie so watched the whole thing. My legs are a little like rubber right now.

I think I get the jist of it, but what is cardio cinema?

Day 4-Thrusday, Cross training. I did the TurbFire HIIT 15 Class. It may be only 17 mins, but it kicks your bootie. I have now done this workout 3 times and am still having a hard time with the moves, but I am getting better. Jon actually worked out with me and I am glad that he did. It was nice to see him actually do something. We then took a short walk around a few blocks. When we turned around I started running, slowly at first and then sped it up a little. It felt really good. Of course, my ankle was hurting during the walking but felt better while running. Go figure. :noway: It was a good clean eating day as well. I feel like I am back in the groove, even if I still have to hold back a little. Hopefully the doctor will figure this out so I can get back to 110%.

Day 5-Friday, Strength Training, Abs and 2 mile run. Looking forward to tonite. I will take it easy, but try to push as hard as I can without going overboard.

I vow to eat clean all day again. It is just amazing how I feel when I don't cheat and eat clean. Who woulduv thunk that??? LOL

Have a great Friday everybody. :bigsmile:

My gym has a surround sound theater with cardio machines in it. They were playing When in Rome and I caught it at the start and watched the whole thing.

I AM HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So happy to finally be here. Hopefully I can stay a while. 12 flights in the last 3 weeks. I am so sick of planes. Just because the seat cusion can be used as a flotation device doesn't mean it has to be hard as a rock. My *kitten* hurts! :laugh: Good news is that I no longer have to suck in my gut to get my seatbelt fastened. I actually have to tighten it up 5-6 inches now.

Most of the tornado damage is cleared, but there is still a ton of trees laying along the sides of the roads. We didn't have power for more than 36 hours so I don't trust the food in the fridge. Will have to get up early tomorrow to replace it all.

Hope all you ladies had a fantastic week and can forgive my lack of participation. I had a rough week, but a full week at home (fingers crossed) and hopefully no more natural disasters in my backyard should help me get back on track.

Glad you are back safe and sound and the power is back on.

That is a great feeling to have to make something tighter to fit, isn't it? Keep up the awesome work. You are doing great. :bigsmile:

Day 5-Friday, Strength Training, Abs and 2 mile run. I started off with my run and it went really well. It also helps to have a nice sidewalk to run on. I did 12 min miles and that is pretty good considering my ankle. It is just amazing how it feels better while running rather than walking. Strength training and abs went really well. I like doing the BBL Tummy Tuck, you can definitely feel the burn and that is nice to feel, knowing you are working the core. My arms are sore already from the upper body workout. Burn baby burn!!! Clean eating today. I feel great. Now, I am ready for bed.

I vow to eat clean all weekend. It is just amazing how I feel when I don't cheat and eat clean. Who woulduv thunk that??? LOL

Have a great weekend everybody. :bigsmile:

Hello All,

Glad to see everyone back. I know the summer months can be hard and people have vacations and such but just know that I always think about the PSBs.

I didn't do very well on the squats challenge this week but I did get all my exercise in that I wanted and the veggie challenge was a yoyo (you'll see that later). I find myself losing motivation after having completed the relay (see pic). I really didn't have any challenges set up. I mean I have my one major goal of losing 100 lbs before May 1st and then going on a NKOTB cruise, but other than that I was getting stumped.

That is until I talked to a coworker of mine. She asked me what I wanted to feel like when I dropped off the weight?, What would I have accomplished in getting to that goal?, What happens if I miss my mark?, What's actually driving me to that goal?, What else would I want to accomplish in life?, etc. I honestly didn't have answers for her at this point but I think that is something we all need to think about. We have a plan to get to the goal but we don't have a plan after that until we hit that point. Food for thought.

Also, there has been a new challenge that is around the corner. It's called the Corporate challenge and for 3 weeks our office is involved in several sports to get points and bragging rights. That starts in September. Gotta get my but back on the treadmill.

Hope everyone had a good week. Svey9480 it's good to see you got home. Will be thinking about you this week with your family issues.
