    We got hit hard by the snow last night, here in South Bend, Indiana we got 23 inches! I helped my husband's younger brother shovel snow and in 90 minutes burned 744 calories!! Could not believe it, so I retyped it and sure enough 744! Talk about getting a workout, I should help them shovel more often. Just wanted to share that.....

    Got my work out in for today just from shoveling the snow....

    Living with my inlaws, they don't normally ask us to help out with mowing the lawn or shoveling, but the f.i.l. got the car stuck in the drive way, so we needed to bail him out and he was pretty ticked off when we stumbled into the house after getting the car stuck, so like I said, looks like there was no other need to exercise today, got that unexpected workout this morning, lol.

    Did Day 1 of Jillian's 30 day shred, feeling great, a little worn out and can tell I'm out of shape....then my MIL was getting ready to go out and shovel snow (she should not be!) bc the FIL complained about the driveway, so I helped shoveled the driveway after doing the 30 day shred, and boy, am I ready for a nap!!!

    You're forgiven! :heart: It's not like I jumped right on it either. I've just been so exhausted lately, and I can't figure out why. :huh: Grumpy and overwhelmed... I'm so ready for my vacation!:grumble: Hubby goes for more blood tests on the 24th, and if he's back to normal, I'm taking 3 weeks off!

    Happy FRIDAY!!!!! Weigh in day :heart:

    2011 SW: 241.8
    Week 1 EW: 236.1 ( - 5.7lbs)
    Week 2 EW: 236.6 ( +0.5lbs)

    Tough week for me this week weightwise, but it was TOM so I won't feel too bad. I realized earlier this week that a) I'm almost at my halfway mark of 60lbs lost (just over 5lbs to go) and b) if I don't get pregnant this year - which is the plan, it's possible for me to get to my goal weight in 2011. That boggled my mind. The fact that I'm no longer the biggest person in my family, the fact that I no longer weight what my husband weighs....all of that boggles my mind.

    I'm starting 2011 fresh because although I need to celebrate my achievements, I tend to rely on them to get me through in sticky spots....enough is enough. I'm not feeling sick anymore, I have the weekend off with my hubbie. Going to get outside (if it's not too cold) and take the dogs for a hike and feel positive about the future!

    Pam, you're doing GREAT! I'm so happy for you! Almost halfway is a great feeling, I'm sure.

    As for me, I didn't lose weight this week, but I didn't gain weight either. I guess that's a win.

    Just did the first Zumba video. It was fun, and I was actually disappointed when it was over. I really hate Shakira though, so that part was a bummer for me. I'll keep doing it all week and see what I think.

    I don't know what I would have done if I knew it was Zumba for weekly challenges. I love it and wonder if any are ones I have used before. I had an exam today and have been studying. Also I got a free week pass at Curves to try it. So I have been caught up in that and my regular aquafit. I seem to be able to fit in more exercise with this quarter schedule. We set up my old stationary bike in a basement room and I use that if I can't fit anything else into my schedule. I think I will get caught up with the Zumba challenges tomorrow. I don't have any classes during the day on T, Th. I lost a pound last week after not losing during the holidays but I didn't gain. Congrats on all your success last week.

    My feeling on Curves is that for now it would be good for me but it is too much for what you get. I pay the same amount for my gym and get a pool, classes, cardio and weight machines. Not to mention a locker room, sauna and hot tub. I really don't know how to use the weight machines that well hence my interest in Curves. After awhile I think it would not be enough of a challenge for me though.

    I have finally started to drink more water up until today with the exam. So guess what I am doing now.
