    Was a GREAT day for me....took my 74 y/o mom (hope she doesn't mind I mentioned her age)...with me to the YMCA and she is going to join....she really doesn't need to loose any weight but I thought it might be a nice time for just us to spend time together (nothing like sharing some good old fashion sweat, HA!!) anyway, I thought it might help keep her moving--though she is very active on her own....so I am so happy...another way her and I can spend time together..I LOVE MY MOM!!!!!:heart:

    Decided to do day one of 30day shred....holy flippin bajesus! I only last 17 out of 30min, gonna try again Thursday!

    I did go for a jog this morning, I didn't get in 1.5miles, but I did get 1.35 AND I managed a 12.35mile!! Woot Woot!!! My 5k partner isn't feeling well, plus it's raining so we are holding off til Thursday for running in the park.

    I bought a protein shake mix a month ago (basic Schnucks vanilla) and it wasn't bad, this time I decided to buy Whey 'Top Care' brand, YUCK!! I added a little almond extract, it helped a little but still... gonna suck it up for the month and when it's done I'm going back to the original one!

    So, BMK started June 28th, I was 223.6, my neck was 14.5, my waist was 47, and my hips were 50.... And now: I'm 205.4, 14in neck, 38.5waist and 46hips. In total, I'm down 27.5 in from neck, arm, chest, waist, hips thigh, and calf !!! Woot Woot!!

    Have a great day everyone!! Gotta get dinner figured out. XoxoxoX Bru

    I weighed in this morning and was down 2 lbs! Finally! at least 3 more to go for Sept. I will be so excited to get another 15 lbs off by Christmas!!Gotta do it!! I'm trying to get down another pant size before it turns cool and I need to buy new clothes. Friday I bought a heart rate monitor so I can keep track of calories i'm burning. It was cool in the mornings over the weekend so I was up early and went walking. I love this time of year when you start needing a light jacket! Hope we all meet our 5lb goal for September!! :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

    Sigh. I'm up from last week by 2 pounds.

    I would like to blame the massive earthquake we had here in the weekend, and that's probably related, but it's still all my fault for stress eating / drinking. Might be a little bit dehydrated as we had no running water for a day and a half and still have to boil all our water, and conserve it, so I haven't been drinking as much water as usual...

    Oh well, I am going to continue to try to get things back on track and hope for a downward trend in the near future!
