    Wow Choco - congrats on your commitment! That is fantastic!

    I'm not weighing in today....I will see what Mr Scale says tomorrow. I had lots of yummy crap food - I know that makes sense to you all - and I ate every meal out yesterday to top off the holiday weekend. SO...tonight I'm hitting the gym & trying to get my water down today while at work! See ya all tomorrow!

    Jan 3: >>>goal 199

    Went to the gym last night with my workout buddy, Heather! Then when I got home CJ called as I was walking in the door....he was in town and I had forgot that it was his day off....so he came over & we just hung out & had a great night together. Normally he is working on building something, running errands, or fixing a car or boat if he is not at work. So it was a nice unplanned surprise!

    Today is my daddy's 71st birthday. My parents are of course on their way to their winter home in south Texas...I haven't seen my daddy for his birthday in at least 12 years or so since they always leave on Christmas. I called to sing to him first thing this morning! :laugh:

    This afternoon I'm driving up to Galena, IL to visit with my college roommate and her family. She lives in Chicago, but they are staying at her inlaws condo for a few days. I haven't seen her in almost 6 years since her wedding! So no workout for me today at all. I'll make it all up tomorrow and will try to do healthy good choices all day today! :happy:

    Today I completed the Core Rhythms full workout dvd. Core Rhythms is a latin dance exercise program that uses the Salsa, Samba and Merengue styles to help you burn away those calories. I haven't completed this dvd in a very long time and it was a nice change.

    Thank for all the support ladies.

    Jan 3: Goal- 140

    Woo Hoo I did it! I knew if I weighed in Monday it would be higher. It works everytime. Drink lots of water and keep sodium under for 2 days. I have a (secret) herbal tea I drink before bed for 2 nights in a row. I tell you what though. As soon as I gave myself permission to ease up on the diet last week I fell right back into my old bad habits of picking all day. Not a good sign.

    Good afternoon all and happy hump day! I'm so excited because my Turbo Fire package arrived yesterday. I had a chance to review a few of the workouts and skim over the reading material and I'm very hopeful that I'll be able to complete the program and get good results too. I was going to begin on January 17, 2011 but decided to go for it beginning Monday. I ordered a hrm on Ebay and I'm hoping it arrives before then so I can start off in the right direction.

    My plan is to read over all the materials and make my shopping list based on the nutritional guide before Sunday and be ready to start strong on Monday.

    Since I'm starting the Turbo Fire/Chalean Extreme hybrid next week I decided to keep this week's workout pretty low key. So, today I completed the Cardio-week 1 dvd from the Kettleworx series. I like this workout because it's total body and short.


    Marie: Congratulations on meeting your weight loss goal. Give yourself a pat on the back because you deserve it. Great job!

    Good afternoon everyone! Today is my Friday since our furlough day at work is scheduled for tomorrow and we have Monday off due to the holiday, so, WOO HOO, WOO HOO, long weekend. This will be a quick post because I have a headache and need to chill out for a bit. Today I completed the Burn It Off dvd from the Chalean Extreme program.

    I never would have thought I'd lose 46lbs throughout this year. I started this year at 243.9lbs and I'm currently 197.4. This time last year, I was drinking 12pack of soda every 2 days, eating Taco Bell, Hardees, etc 4x a week, now it's about 2x amonth for both soda and fast food. I'm so thankful to have met you all and to have you on this journey. I can't wait to start 2011 with a bang and a 5k next weekend. I'll see you all for the next challenge.

    I completed some type of exercise EVERYDAY in 2010 except January 3. So, if I complete a workout from now until January 4, 2011 I will have done some type of exercise everyday for an entire year. This was a goal I wanted to attain and I'm proud of myself for doing it but I can't lie I'm looking forward to having a day that does not involve 2 mile walks, yoga, stretching, jogging, ellipticals, spinning bikes or workout dvds.

    Today I completed the Recharge dvd from the Chalean Extreme program and walked 30 minutes in my neighborhood while running some errands. I had to get my emission certificate for my car so I can get my 2011 registration/tags and decided to use this time to get some walking in. I walked to the post office to mail letters, then to the grocery store to pick up a few items, then to a local pharmacy and finally back to the shop to pick up my car. Everything was spread out enough that I totalled over 2 miles.



    I'm still hovering at 124.5 but hopefully I can jumpstart my metabolism and this plateau when I begin Turbo Fire on Monday!

    HAPPY NEW YEAR! Today I started the year off right by attending boot camp at Fit Neighborhood. Today we played baseball. Each exercise represented a base and a "man in between bases". Round 1: 5 inchworms, 10 jumping jacks, 5 push ups, 10 jump squats, 10 seated dips, 10 jumping jacks and 10 oblique crunches. One you completed all these exercises your team scored a point and then you begin the circuit again. Round 2: 10 sit ups w/lbs, 3 sumo burpees, 10 plank rows w/lbs, 3 sumo burpees, 10 pulsing lunges, 3 sumo burpees and 10 bicycle crunches.......Great fun!

    Goal- 160

    December turned into a replay of November. On December 7, my sister had her baby! Faith is a happy healthy little girl. She was almost exactly the same size as my daughter. Unfortunately, on that same day my BIL's (who's been a friend since high school, and a different one from November) father died suddenly from a heart attack. He was actually in the hospital for heart testing and a possible heart cath, when he had the heart attack. All that, coupled with the craziness that is Christmas-time in the music department at school caused me to skip logging. I missed my goal, again. But I am definately in for the Easter Challenge!
