Can I just brag for a minute?
My HRM came in the mail today, so I was able to finally get an accurate read on my calorie burn. Combine that with doing my Jilian Michael's No More Trouble Zones and Zumba Live Party (54 minutes of pure cardio), and I found out that I BURNED today!
I burned a total of 1220 calories!!!!0 -

Hello all!
Ok since I am really struggling right now with food intake and I love tickers. I decided to change my exercise ticker to food instead because exercise is not an issue for me. It is part of my lifestyle now and has been for some time now since I gotten back on track last March. It was so much easier for me to get back into the routine of moving my body with limitations. I guess when you force yourself to get around at 500+ pounds for years; it was not as hard to force myself to exercise over the years--even prior to WLS.
So now I have to do something for the food end to keep me motivated. That is what I am focusing on this month. Food issues and the mind issues that go with food issues:frown:
So the ticker queen that I have decided to count publically how many days I can keep my calories under 2000. I have been doing this since November and I have yet to get over 8 times within the month under 2000 calories.:grumble: My goal is 23 but anything between 12 and 20 will suffice for March. Since I am a person not into perfection anymore I will take what I can get. One day at a time.:happy:0 -
Yay! I fit my 30 minutes in yesterday before my second job as planned! And it felt extra amazing to know I worked a full day and instead of taking small nap before my night job I ate a small (healthy) snack and worked out instead!
Hoping I can do the same today!0 -

Who is up for getting fit for the summer????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Definitely ME!! It's HOT in the summer where I've recently moved (Phoenix area) and I'd like to look decent in summer skirts and feminine t-shirts. P.S. This is the first challenge I've entered. :-)
DARN!! I just realized I missed the list. :-( Those of you who wish to, would you please pencil me into yours? I'd really like to be a part of this. Even though I'm not on the official list, I'm still going to weigh in and participate. Good luck to all of us!!0 -

Yeah it was quite the eye opener. I thought I had been burning only around 350 cal during Zumba, so it was nice ot see that I'm burning a lot more. Really motivates me to push harder too.
But, now I have a problem eating back those exercise cals--seems like SO much!0 -
Mollie1037 - that sounds like a brave idea! i think that when we hold ourselves accountable it can be more motivating...I like your ability to try new creative solutions.0

Daily Inspiration for March 3, 2011
Katie Jay, MSW
Be here in this moment.
Sometimes the best way to get through the day is to choose to be present and enjoy the moment. Dwelling on things you cannot change or allowing yourself to be consumed by what might happen tomorrow takes away the joy of the moment.
Children have perfected the skill of living in the moment. For them, only the slide exists and the shear joy they embody as they zip down it. You can live by their example. Focus on the moment as it is happening. Laugh with your loved ones. Scratch your cat behind the ears and sense its pleasure. Rejoice in the success of a friend. Experience the joys of today as if today were the only day you have.
Action for the day: Be present and find joy in each moment today.0 -
Mollie, thanks for the reminder!0

Since my brain is thinking random things today, it's interesting that this post came through on 3/3 at 3:33. If I was into numerology, maybe noticing that would be lucky for me!
Did my 32 min. cardio today on the rebounder (mini trampoline).0 -
Did my 30 minutes of cardio today! Not as good as yesterday, but still got some in. something is better than nothing!0
-
Did my 30 extra minutes of cardio! What's even better is I am enjoying the extra workout :bigsmile:0
-
I hope everyone is doing great so far this week! I'm proud that so far I've gotten my 30 minutes cardio every day, even though some days were more of an intense workout than others. However, for some reason I've been feeling very hungry constantly this week and I can't stop eating! And unfortunately many of my choices are not being great ones... here's hoping that I am a good girl this weekend!0
