    So I failed at my plan to go to the gym yesterday! I was too hungover - sometimes I wonder why I drink when I feel so horrible the next day. Needless to say the party at our house with my soccer team was an amazin time!!! I also didnt acheive my weekly goal to get to the gym 4 times - only made it 3 times! So I will keep that same goal this week

    I didnt weigh in last week - but I will force myself to do it on Thursday. I am feeling really bloated and gross - stupid weekend eating/drinking. I have to suck it up and do the weigh in Thurs or Fri so I can be more accountable if thre is a weight gain

    Great to see you back raindancer :) I personally have never tried anything to loose weight besides watching what I eat and exercising. You'll have to let us know if it works for him.

    Cnbethea - congratz on the .4 down!! That is amaazing that you still lose even after your horrible eating day Saturday. I think we have become so aware of calories/fat etc in foods that when we have a not so good eating day we feel awful and think we are going to gain tons of weight from it. When in reality everyday used to be like that for us eating. Hope you get what I am trying to say... it does take A LOT of food to gain a bit. Plus - we work out so it does allow us to have a little extra food without a big gain :)

    SO yesterday I hit the gym - completed my final run for week 7 of c25K so that was 25 mins running straight. Also, the eliptical for 30 mins and bike for 10. Today I moved up to week 8 and completed 28 mins of running straight :) Also did the eliptical for 25 mins and the bike for 15.

    I have accepted some extra hours at work permanently.. so I will be working 7:15-9 than 1:15-2:15 and 3:15-6. Sucks that the shifts are split apart. There is some driving for the middle shift because it is at a different location but extra hours = extra money! The past couple weeks I have gotten used to having 9-3:15 off so I would hit the gym for at least an hour and a half to 2 hours. So now I will probably change it to 3 times a week I will go right there after my 9 shift.. and work out 9:30-10:30 - boot it home shower.. than drive to my next site for 11:15 for work till 2:15 than back to work for 3:15. It would be nice if I could get the shift changed to 11:30 to 2:30 which would give me 15 min extra to get there and 15 mins less of waiting time before my final shift. I'll see what I can do!! Either way I am stil determined to get to the gym!!!

    Sundinsgurl: You have a good plan. Extra money and still have time for the Gym:drinker: Good job!!


    I made it to aqua last night. I was 14 calories over yesterday but I go lower than MFP has set for me. I have it set for 1200 so if I'm a little over I'm still not over.:wink:

    I plan to go to agua tonight. I weighed and I'm down 1.8 but I never changed my tracker from the 4 lbs I gained during surgery.
    I usualy don't change it for less than 5lbs it just makes me feel too bad going backwards. I tend to get discouraged easy.

    raindancer - I have never changed my ticker for a gain either - I weigh in on my wii, so if its a gain I immediately turn it off so it doesnt save. Or else it would be hard to keep track since my wii doesnt actually give me an exact decimal number on how much I weigh it just tells me an exact of what I have lost. So I have to come on here and see what my last weigh in number was and subtract my loss from it. (hope that makes sense lol). I also tend to input a little lower than mfp suggests, so this way if I do go over its not that bad.

    I dont actually start my extra hours till Monday so I managed to go to the gym for a long time today! Did 120 mins of cardio :) 28 min run, 10 min warm up and cool down, 30 on eliptical, 10 on stairmaster, 21 on bike, and 25 on the wave machine. I took on the skinny wednesday challenge so I doubled my exercise. Also I am not going to the gym tomorrow, I have worked out 3 days in a row so I know my body needs a day to recupurate. Also, I am going to see my favorite hockey team - the leafs play a preseason game tomorrow! I am sooo pumped, so I will take the time during the day to rest up and straighten my hair so its ready for when I am done work. Since I'll have to leave soon as I get home from work. WOW I ramble lol

    Tomorrow is weigh in day!! I earned a lot of extra calories from exercise today.. but I didnt do that well in keeping my sodium down. Im 400 over, so hopefully it doesnt reflect badly on my weigh in tomorrow morning. *fingers crossed*

    so I was only down .2 - not much at all! I went to the gym Friday - tried a total body conditioning class and loved it!!!! I will definetely try to make it to that class every Friday morning in between shifts at work :) Than I did my last run of week 8 of c25K - now its onto 30 mins of running with a 5 min warm up and cool down walk

    Hope you ladies are having a great week - and now weekend :):)

I am tired of saying it My highest weight was 186 back in 2005 and I so want to post the pic that got me and my hubby focused on losing this weight but for now I have to keep working to reach my goal first because it will not get posted til then!! :-)

    This weekend has been rough I have been dealing with Sinus issues and a cold I still managed to get some energy to workout on Sunday but Saturday had me really down so much I went to the ER but everything is fine now taking the meds and trying to bounce back slowly!!

    I was going to skip my lunch workout b/c I was feeling upset about something, but talked myself into going and it definitely made me feel better. Funny thing is I forgot to bring a sports bra and socks, so I workout with a bra under my shirt and no socks- just sneakers. Go figure! I'm learning not to use food as a means when I feel upset or down- I mean there are other ways to de-stress like having a good workout.

    Well, back to work for me. Have a great day all!

    Maylan: welcome back,
    A lot of us would have just left without exerciseing when we found out we were missing items..WAY TO GO!! no excuses. I can learn alot from you. I'm an emotional eater. If I'm upset I tend to make excuses not to go workout.

    Kizzy: welocme glad to have you. :flowerforyou:

    Cnbethea: Hope your feeing better now. Except old age aches and pains the only illnesses I have are sinus problems. I hate it .It makes my whole face ache. Will ruin a good day for sure.

    Sundinsgurl::flowerforyou: Hope you had a great day.

    I've been doing fair. Enjoying this cool weather:bigsmile: I am going to my aqua class tonight. YEAH!!
    That is a good start to the week. If nothing comes up I'm be going 4x this week.

    raindancer - 4x this week would be awesome!!!!

    welcome MayLan - I completed the 30 day shred frm mid July to mid August. I had to take some break days (mostly on weekends) but I got through it!!! Great job on completing day #1! Thats awesome that you didnt let a small thing stop you from working out. And extra great job on deciding to work out instead of eating from being upset. Very smart choice!!!

    cnbethea - sorry to hear about your sinus's! I am glad to hear that everything is ok - your kickin butt anyways - way to go on the loss this week :):)

    Kizzy welcome!!!!!!!!!!


    I too would love to be at my goal weight by the finale of Biggest Loser - these last 10--15 lbs wil be the toughest but I am NOT giving up!!!! Today was my first day of extra hours - so I woedk 7:15-9, hit the gym right away did Week 9 Day #1 of COuch to 5K - I am now up to 30 mins running non stop. Plus a 5 min warm up and cool down. Came home showered and had to be back at work for 11:30-2:30.. did a few errands than back to work 3-6! Did Ab Ripper X with the b.f soon as I got home and now dinner is cooking!! Sooo hungry!! Had horrible eating choices this weekend but I am not letting it interfere I am right back at it this week!!

    I didn't make it to aqua last night. Had a real pounding headache. I just went home, laid on the couch and watched the biggest loser. I liked most of last night show. I kept yelling for that one guy to wipe his nose.:laugh:
