lulabellewoowoo

Lauryn, I LOVE your new profile pic. Looking good sweetie.

lulabellewoowoo

Quick question: I am 0.3 lb away from my goal. First time I might actually be able to make it. So next week ends the Saucy Sunbathing Sixers Challenge right? But it also begins a new one? Just wondering. Thanks

Redneckwoman

Bahama Congrats to you!!!!! I am so happy for you. Glad you will be hanging with us.

Kristin The shred is a great workout. It's quick but effective. I haven't lost much weight with it but I do see changes in my waist and other places as well. But my endurance is up 100 % . I do know I really like it and I believe you would too.

Cathy Yep still out there in the sun and yes I am downing at least 4 liters of water everyday. Sometimes even a little more. Thanks for thinking of me. I hope your foot gets better soon.

Lauryn OMG what a beautiful picture of you. You are so adorable!!! I just love that million dollar smile of yours.

To Everyone else I hope all is well and having a great day!

Kel

lula...now as i am starting to write this is went semi blank. we will go through the 6th week. so we really start the next one beginning of 7th week. i think that's right?

see ya in the morning. have a good night

gonabfit

Hey cathy!

The new love is wonderful! :-) Makes me feel good every day though we are not even in the same place. :-D He said the same thing... and he's a big guy! 6'4 he said " I bet those guys wouldn't act like that if I'm there". Did I mention I really like this guy? LOL He likes working out and we have so much in common.

Ok, I'll stop smiling so I can get some studying done.

Today's Stats:
I walked 12450 steps, ran 2 miles after work. did 100 punches, 50 squats and 20 pushups. Drank 2L so far. Aiming for 3L. and ate 1700 cals. (because I had a lot of workout calories that MFP told me to eat. Also, I stuck to my eating plan! )

YAY!

Hey sixers! Glad you are all doing well

amy36

YAY! Amy(baha) so super excited for you and a bit jealous! I want another baby!

I am joining you all next challenge full force. I have got to get serious. I started a new account here. I wanted a fresh start and mentally this felt right. I know its silly and some would say stupid to think that it might help but I feel good about it.

Lulu- congrats on making goal your goal (because I know you will!) You must be so excited. Hope the successes keep coming for you!

izzypup

Congrats Amy!!!! You sound soooo excited. This week I am watching my 18mth old grand daughter Ella. She keeps me rolling!

Cathy- let me know about the rocker shoes. I have been fighting this since November. I think it is healed and start running on the treadmill and bam..... starts hurting again. I just keep stretching and icing.

Well I finally got my laptop back today. So happy. Now it doesn't take me a hour to log on. LOL As far as my weight goes i am kinda stuck. Maybe i am not drinking enough water. Who knows. I just know it is ungodly hot here in St. Louis!
Well I am tired today and off to bed.

Sandy

chipper15173

good morning....

warning lots to tell, may be long.

got the dr scholls shoes ($30 @walmart). wore them for a bit, ankle was hurting when i took them off, cause of them making you walk more straight and having to build the muscles in the ankles. was a good thing. it was my injured ankle. will wear them again today, wasn't going to go out, but have to now.

got up this morning and DH says we have a drug induced mouse. WHAT? he shows me the drug drawer. we have a drawer in the kitchen where all of the current medications are kept and the aspirin, motrin, stuff like that are kept, my blood testing stuff. anyway this mouse got into our pill containers, (those plastic daily ones) and ate one of my anit-inflammatory, a vit. d and something else. yet below this drawer we have cereal and hasn't touched that. no evidence of him in the pantry or dog food either. DH says he has never heard of this and will be asking around at work. he doesn't carry small traps on his truck so that's why i have to go out and get some. to strange. DH says he has to trap it now, cause of the drugs he ate the poison won't work.

ok, weight issues. i have been so faithful in my calories and exercising for the beginning of the this week. the scale just goes up. i dealt with this before. so today i am not exercising and see what happens. if the scale continues to go up i am changing things around. i think i don't eat enough for me. when i was doing WW it was coming off. so will continue through the week and see what happens. i might have to go back to counting points again. i remember fighting this same thing for months. just doing my thing and plugging along. i will do investigating on things again.

ok, sorry for the long post. off to play a bit and than shower and get to the store before it get to 100-115 heat index today. as i thank hubby everyday for being out in this and allowing me to stay home.

later

bahamomma87

Sandy --- yay for getting your laptop back !!!!!

Cathy -- awwww im sorry about the scale going up !!!! i wasnt able to do the calories for a long period either !!! points it is for me !!!! so if you want a point counting buddy ! Im here !!!!!! xoxox i had to chuckle over the drug induced mouse though haha never heard of that ! hehe

THANK YOU to everyone for the congrats!!!!!!!
you guys are the best !

GUESS WHHAT??? two days of eating healthy points!!!! back to the 260's !!!! YAY !
im very motivated !!!!!!!!!!!
this baby might have been the key ! heheeh !
its like i know someone else in my body is counting on me ya know?!?!?!?
my goal is to get out of the 260's in my 1st trimester!!!!! so thats 9 lbs by August 30th !!!!!! and then after that im going to continue my points BUT not worry if the weight comes back sometimes as my belly grows !!!!! we shall see ! SO EXCITED

Lula...next week will be week six and then we will end the challenge and start a new on on the 6th. So we have another full week of this challenge! You will surpass your goal...I'm sure of it!!

kistinbee

Morning all! So chatty around here! I LOVE it!!

Glad to hear you are all pretty well! Cathy...I think it's funny about the mouse! CRAZY!

SO...I broke down and bought 30 day Shred last night and did level 1. When I get something in my mind, I have NO patience! And I must say it was a good workout. I burned around 220 calories and it was 27 minutes. Pretty good! I wasn't sweating or struggling as much as many of the reviews say, but I'm guessing it's because my body is already used to getting in cardio almost daily. But I am sore this morning, so I know I worked my muscles good! So excited to be starting something new! I hope it will break me out of this darned rut I've been in! I don't know that I will be able to do it daily, but I will try as often as I can...it's only 27 minutes, right?! Still going to try and get my runs in also as long as it isn't too hot! But I'm so happy to now have an alternative for when it's too hot or rainy! And I'm measuring my belly (since that is the area I want to trim down the most!) SO...post-baby belly today: 41 inches.

Food plan today:
B-Multigrain cheerios, skim milk, coffee with sugar-free creamer
S-Trail mix bar, banana
L-Leftovers: Tuscan sun dried tomato marinaded pork chop, red potatos/corn/carrots, light yogurt
S-Gala apple
D-Homemade turkey burger, 80 calorie wheat bun, green salad with spritzer dressing
S-Strawberries, sugar-free popsicle, Pudding cup

Exercise:
2 mile run, Shred day 2, level 1

Have a great morning girls!!!

frogy_98

Wow we are busy girls around here, it is great.

Amy - congrats, so excited for you!

Cathy - I am happy you splurged on the shoes, your husband is right, you deserve them. I know from my aunt that it took her about a week to get used to them, just keep at it and you will love them. I am thinking about going and getting me some.

Kristin - Happy to hear you got the new dvd, and good luck on the belly, that is my worst area, hoping to cut some inches there as well. Sounds like you are doing great even if it does not always show on the scale, keep up the great work, you are setting a amazing example for you dd.

AFM: The next few days will be crazy we will be moving so dont know how much I will be on here. I will check in tomorrow but then will not have internet again until Monday so bear with me.
I still have so much to do, so today will be all about packing and getting the rest of our stuff ready, our apartment is currently a disaster zone, it is driving me nuts, but I know it will get better.

Today is exciting we are going to check out a daycare/ preschool for our dd, she will be starting 2 days a week in August if everything goes as planned, so cross your fingers for us.

Well better run lots to do and not nearly enough time.:noway: :noway: :ohwell: :happy:

chipper15173

LOVE my new shoes. they are very comfy. (so far )

frogy... i have moved so many times, and it's so stressful, but, still deep down really like it. someplace new.
kristen....great on the new workout. i should try that.
lula....where or where can you be????
baha...hows the newest little sixer?

it's been a laugh about this mouse. making up stories. son said he's out selling on the corner to his friends, another since it was inflammatory meds he can move his legs now the arthritis is gone.... just too funny. got traps today. now DH better be the one opening that drawer in the mornings.
went to do a little grocery shopping. they have grapes on sale. anyway $60 later and 30 of that in wines. they are cleaning out the store and have this huge isle of markdowns. wine was less than $7 a bottle, i saved $17. got 7 bottles. DH said i am going to look like a wine-o. now i need a wine rack or wine cooler. i like it chilled. i was reading off the flavors to him and he would say yea, that's a good one, or that's a good bubble bath one. that's suppose to be good. than he told me i had enough and he would see when he got home.

so off to find something to do and not open a bottle. LOL.

later

izzypup

Cathy- keep me updated on those shoes! Sounds good. Gotta watch that wine, before you know it it's gone. LOL!

Kristen- I don't know about the shred workout. Tell me about it.

Today I am taking my gd Ella to the zoo and maybe the art museum. Yea! Finally some relief from the heat and the humidity. YUK! It's been unbearable. I need to walk today anyway.

See ya later today!
must drink water, must drink water, must drink water!!!! LOL
Sandy

kistinbee

Kristen- I don't know about the shred workout. Tell me about it.

Well...it's about 27 minutes. Jillian Michaels (from Biggest Loser). She does a warm up. Then the workout is this 3-2-1 method which is 3 minutes strength, 2 minutes cardio, 1 minute abs. And you rotate through those. Then a cool down. There are 3 levels, you bump up as you progress. Suppose to have good results in 30 days. So far, so good! Works the whole body and gets your HR up so you burn calories! I'm excited to be starting this. I am for sure feeling it today...arms, legs, abs...everywhere! YAY!!!

frogy_98

Cathy - you make me laugh, I love seeing what you post each day.

Sandy - enjoy your day with your gd, sounds like fun

Kristin - I may have to get me that video for days when I do not go to the gym. The gym is kinda become my relax place, it gives me me time which is nice.

Well better get back to packing little one is taking a nap and I needed a quick break. Take care ladies!!!

kistinbee

Tracy...yes it's a great gym alternative! I also was a gym rat, but since having Kadence and no time for the gym, these videos are going to save me!! And the jogging stroller, of course!

Headed home girls for Shred day 2 level 1! YAY!!! And hopefully a jog also! Have a great night all!

izzypup

Thanks a lot Kristen for the information. I thought someone was also doing the wave rocker. I know I do it and it really is a great overall workout. I still love the treadmill, unfortunately it isn't loving my heel. I think that if I keep it to twice a week then maybe i might be okay. My doc told me to walk on it. It is just as good for me. Hummmm. Maybe. Ella is fast asleep right now and I would love to be there as well but this my only time to get things done. There is no way I could be a mom at 50. WOW!!!!! After a few days, it's time to go home. I do like the visits and see is soooo sweet. Just really starting to say everything. Well I better get some stuff done before she gets up. Maybe I will chat later.

BTW---- Feels soooo good to be back! I missed everyone and the support.

Sandy

chipper15173

DH says he was wearing his colors of brown and white. he was a husky little thing. saw him. not very big. gee now i will have all his buyers coming by and doing drive by shootings.
