    OOPS! that was real short and sweet, They called me on the radio. Had to go.

    I have decided to take a break and just make sure I am getting my water. exercising 3x a week and do my best to make good food choices. I think I am burnt out counting calories, measuring and weighing everything. I NEED A BREAK!
    My weight have been the same for weeks. I am not using this as a excuse to binge. I will still weigh 2x a week to make sure I don't gain. I am allowing myself 2 weeks for this break.

    WISH ME LUCK!!

    I did it!! I ran a whole 5KM at the gym tonite! usually I dont have enough time to stay on the treadmill because of work shifts. With a 5 min warm up and 5 min cool down i can only run for 30 mins. But I went tonite because I had things to do during the day today and I got in 35 mins of running and it was 5Km!! Soooo proud :):):)

    Thanks raindancer :)

    Today I went to the gym and did 35 mins on the eliptical. After work I went to help a friend of mine clean her old house since she is moving - did that for almost an hour.. came home and cleaned my bathroom (took me almost an hour too) Than have been tidying and doing laundry for another 30 mins! Finally I get to sit down and relax

    hmmmmmm I think I need to find a way to challenge myself a bit more.. I am very restricted when it comes to time. and I honestly dont feel like showering twice a day - so I like to stick to my in between shift workouts. But maybe I can think up a challenge of my own.. kind of like what we were doing at the very beginning. a certain amount of lunges, push ups, crunches etc.

    Had a soccer game tonite - we played awesome!! We won 5-1, I scored a goal and got two nice assists

    Thanks cnbethea :) You are also doing amazing, I know the pounds will continue to fall off

    Hi everyone,
    You have probably noticed I changed my tracker to start new. I proud of myself for losing the 77lbs but I think seeing it all the time is getting in the way of where I need to get now.
    I am just not a motivated as I should be.
    Last night I got to the pool early and did 25 squats 50 lunges and a bunch of other leg work using the noodle.
    I am going to go back to doing my wall pushups. Start with 25 daily.
    So here goes::laugh:

    Thurs:
    25 pushups
    25 Squats
    50 lunges

    Sundinsgurl: CONGRATZ on your soccer win :drinker:

    Hope everyone is having a great w-end. I have been doing better than usual.
    I have only ate 2 pieces of Halloween candy out of 2 large bags:drinker:
    I have started using my Wii Walking it out. Only burnt 80 calories so far very slow start, but a start.
    I have gone back to doing my wall pushups and have done 25 today and plan on 20 crunches before bed.

    Have a great day...:bigsmile:

    raindancer - it sounds like you are right back at it and doing GREAT!!! Already down 3lbs.. so proud!! I need to take that motivation you have and get my butt to do the extra strength training stuff ex. lunges, push ups. I am going to make a chart right now so I can check it off when I am done!!

    I went to the gym yesterday and did 30 mins on the eliptical.. and today did 32 mins on the treadmill (about 5 walking 27 running)

    I have had a good week so far. made it to aqua twice and plan to go tonight. I started doing my lunges and squats in the pool again. Also went back to the wall pushups.
    I went 55 calories over yesterday but that a lot better than I was doing.
    I think my little break helped.

    missing my girls!!

    Ive been keeping up with my exercising :) steady 4-5 days a week of working out!

    I know I said that I was going to get started on strength training in hopes that the muscle gain will help me burn more calories and help weight loss. I did make a strength training chart of a circuit that I can do - and check off when I complete it. However, today was my first day that I actually did it! I completed it while watching t.v tonight. I am going to try and do it 3 times a week. Next time I will wear my heart rate monitor to see how many calories it burns. Perhaps I will had a bit of cardio in between to help boost my heart rate

    Sundinsgurl I saw your post it was a great circuit how many times did you do it? or do you just go through one round and be done?

    Great job hanging in there 4-5 times a week you are on fire keep up the great work!!

    How are things raindancer?

    As for me 1 week down on insanity and I am down 2.4 going to try for the same this week also!!

    Hey girls..
    cnbethea - I went through the circuit 3 times. So in total I did each thing 3 times - ex. a total of 30 shoulder press

    I feel like I am not getting in enough exercise since I can only do 30 mins at the gym in order to get to work on time. I gues it does add up to 2 hrs during the week, plus a soccer game Wednesday, and soon a soccer game Sundays too. I am happy that I have started strength training in the evenings while watching t.v so at least I feel like I am doing a bit more. I think I will rotate through some strength training - maybe try to do arms twice a week, and legs and abs another 2 times a week.

    cnbethea - you are kickin butt with insanity so far!! You seem very motivated and thats a GREAT attitude to have - congratz on your 2.4 lbs down WOOOT WOOOT!!!!!!! More will come

    ohhhhhh an accomplishment - Last week I had told myself that my late night junk snacking has to stop - I have this bad habit of going to a bulk food store called Bulk barn and walking out with candy of all kinds.. which of course I scarf down that night. Last week I put my foot down and told myself thats enough, I am not going there for a month!!!! However, today the TOM came - and all I want is chocolate.. so my b.f said he would take me since he was going out to get gas anyways. So I went with my bf to get gas - but on the way there all I could think about was how bad it is, and how awful I feel when I eat it all - and how I am working so hard and going to the gym and I dont need to ruin my hard work - so I told him not to go! He was shocked and very proud!!! YAY!!! I do have willpower
