    How are you all doing?

    I'm pretty happy to have finally gotten up at 5:00am after trying to get up early with no success for over 1 month. Did my p90x, Insanity, and also my lunch workout. It's official, I've lit a fire under my butt....I'm ready to get this party started. No more putting me for seconds.

    Have an awesome day!

    .I'm ready to get this party started. No more putting me for seconds.

    Let's get this party going ... Burn that fire.

    Today I got 90 mins for 550 calorie burn of Yoga X. i've missed it the last couple times.

    Hope everyone is having a great day. I'm off to work.

    Just popping in to say hi. I kissed my adorable little Luke goodbye tonight. We are hitting the road at 0'dark hundred tomorrow. Heading back to Kansas to the lake for a family campout. We will stop to see my mother on the way. You probably won't hear from me for a few days. No Internet at the lake. Have a good weekend!

    Hi all...I'm still kickin'. Hope you all are well. I'm still having trouble with my back. Started seeing a chiropractor yesterday and had deep tissue massage for 1 hour. They are putting me on a compression table next week. I am currently icing my back 15 minutes three times a day. I was doing heat and evidently causing more harm than good. I'm going kayaking today (it actually doesn't hurt my back) and trying to do the elliptical some at the gym. I am up 15 pounds since I injured my back in January:grumble: but I knew it would happen without exercise. I just like to eat! I started two classes this summer and all is well so far. Beautiful weather here...enjoy your day!

    Peter- Keep rocking the p90x, and let us know it goes.

    Tamelab- sorry to hear about your back, but it's nice you can enjoy the kayaking. Have fun!

    Mary- We'll miss ya. Have fun camping, an let us know how it goes.

    I'm feeling beat and my whole body hurts. I got my p90x and insanity in today, and went for a run outside. I'm asking God to help me stay focused each day and to allow me to count my blessings.

    Have an awesome day all!

    Peter you are awesome!! Keep it up.

    Tammy I am so sorry. Keep following drs orders and taking care of yourself.

    Mayra it's so good to have you active again on the board!!

    Mary have a great time at the lake. I hope it is envigorating!!

    I have been so low on motivation lately. It is frustrating! I have started gaining weight again and I need to get out of my sugar addiction that has a major hold on me right now. Take care!!

    Debnu- I go through the same emotions you described with the lack of motivation, and the sugar addiction. In terms of motivation, I'll play my favorite songs to get me going. For the sweets and sugars, I try to find a replacement in a natural form like fruits, or if I really want something, I learned this weekend, that it's better to have it in small quantities and fit it into my food diary, otherwise I end up overeating it because of feeling deprived.

    yesterday was my day off my workouts. I mean, I did walk to various places. Today I'm back with it and did p90x shoulders and arms, Insanity Cardio Recovery, and a run outside. I'm feeling pretty good and back on track.

    Have an awesome day, all!

    I got back from the lake last night just in time to zoom off to Bible school. I will be helping there every night this week, and then Friday I am headed to Nebraska for a camping mini family reunion with some cousins that I haven't spent any time with for years.

    I had a great weekend at the lake, and I am really tired today, but did force myself to go out and walk for 30 minutes to get going again. We won't talk about my bathroom scale.

    I've got to get some work done around here before I leave for church. They are feeding me there, but it is kid friendly food, so not the best for me. I have decided to just go with the flow, and hope a burn a few calories chasing them around!

    Drove 30 miles to a dr. appt. today, then hit Walmart. I wanted to eat all of the way home in the car, so instead of buying chips, I bought carrots and lowfat ranch. I did eat two servings of each on the way home, but it was a binge that I don't have to feel guilty about! Sometimes the "want to be fit woman" in me can win out over the "M & M's sound tasty woman". Here's to smart choices!

    Mary I am so impressed. Keep it up i think my inner child wants to eat sweets and do what ever she wants and I have been letting her. It is time for me to to grow up. An adult makes a plan and follows through. A child does what feels good.

    Hi all hope you are still doing well. I am doing some different things to try and get on track again. I found this video called the inner weigh. It was way to expensive bit I bought it anyway. It is a weightloss video based on the secret. It's been interesting. It says to write up a statement saying I am so happy and glad now that... Then you state how you want to feel and look and act when you reach your goal. I am going to do that. Why don't you do it too. We can post them here. After you write it up you read it every day and start living life at your goal :). It's part of being now what you want to be. I am also reading the beck diet solution. It is about retraining your brain into thinking like a thin person. If any of you want to join me on the six week journey in the book let me know.

    Take care!

    Heading to Nebraska for a mini family reunion for the weekend. I may be popping in but my time will be limited, so everyone stay strong and healthy!

    They decided tonight to move my mother to the hospice wing of the hospital. I am tired and weary from playing peacemaker with my siblings, but I will survive. I still plan to go to the reunion, as 2 of her 3 brothers will be there and I can talk to them in person. Mom was the one who pushed me to plan the reunion, in hopes that she could attend, so it will be a little hard to go without her. I will get home on Sunday, and plan to go to see her on Monday. I don't know how long I will stay. I have changed my profile picture to a picture of her, two of my grandsons, and my grandniece on her 82nd birthday 6 weeks ago.

    Mary I wish you all the best. I imagine this is a very difficult time for you. I know you can handle it though. Remember you can do all things through Christ. Take care in your travels and I will keep you and your mom in my prayers.

    Hey Blues,

    Sorry I've been MIA. It's good to see you all still active in the board. I've been going out more often since it is the summer and the nice weather is upon us so I haven't been on that often. If you want to send me your most recent weigh ins, I will update our board and start a new thread.

    I have not quite dropped off of the face of the earth. Just wanted to let you know that I am in Wichita sitting at the hospital with my mom. Be back when I can.

    I got off track again and have not been on much until this week. Monday I started logging again and getting back to exercise. I gained more weight and decided that is enough slacking off! I'm doing physical therapy for my knee... actually the whole leg, but most of the pain is in my knee. I have to stick with low impact exercises.

    I have to get back to work. Have a great day!
