Sorry I am on here so late today. My kids had an assembly this morning at school and one of my sons was doing the flag ceremony for the school with the cub scouts. So of course he wanted me there. Have to support my pack. I didnt do any workout this morning but I burned over 1300 calories yesterday and only ate like 1300 calories so I didnt eat any of my workout calories yesterday so I decided not to work out today. I better go and put the clothes in the dryer and wash some dishes while my little one is napping.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning Everyone,

May Marie...glad you got to see the Biggest Loser show. Especially when you're part of this contest!!:bigsmile:

ThisisJeffHere....Awesome job on the kickboxing!!! I'm sure you'll do fine tonight at dinner. I think as long as we are conscious of what we're eating we usually do fine. It's when we're not even thinking about it that re realize we've stuffed our face with bread before our meal even came!!:blushing:

Obliged....glad to have you back and great job on the weight loss even though you weren't logging!!!:happy:

Connieq.....You have been working out so amazingly since this all started!!! I really need some of your motivation to do as much as you do! I think taking a day off is well deserved!:drinker:

Ok, now I think the scale is playing games with me too Punka!

I forgot to weigh myself first thing Tuesday morning for the contest but got on the scale after breakfast and a cup of tea and some water and I was down almost 2 lbs from the week before. 'Great' I thought!! I decided to wait until Wednesday to weigh in for the contest cause I thought it would be even better before breakfast. Well, I weighed in and I was the same as the week before!!!! :grumble: After some grumbling I submitted that weight. Now this morning I'm back down the 2 lbs!!! So I'm sorry for no loss on the contest this week but hopefully that means next week I'll have a big number!!!

I hope everyone has a fantastical day!!

Thank you Suni.... I easily burn more calories because I am so overweight. I wish I could do that everyday. I figure I can do that much twice a week at least and do my cardio in the morning for 30 minutes the other days. Everyone seems to be doing so well. I hope we get our numbers up soon. I always like to see what everyone is doing. I turned my weight in on Tuesday like I always do and of course on Wed. its usually down another pound. Oh well, I will save it for the next week. LOl

So the rock wall was closed yesterday but open today so I went and did that, biked super hard, and did my PT. I think my fingers are going to fall off from holding onto the wall. LOL!

May - I love when the kicked off teams continue to do well, makes me feel less sad that they're gone.

Jeff - You rock my world with the kick boxing stories... someday I'll be there!

Connie - I'm not sure how you do it, kids and burning that many calories! You're a rock star!

Good Morning Smurfettes and Papa Smurf. How is everyone this great Friday. I got my workout done this morning. Biggest Loser DVD. I might go to the rec center though and try to do the treadmill or the stair thingie ( dont know how to spell that thing and not gonna try). Wed. when I burned over 1300 calories it said I could be 26 lbs lighter in 5 weeks. That is some strong motivation of course I know I wouldnt lose that much but it sure would be nice.

My knee is still hurting though. It is a little swollen today but I have to continue working out. If not I might lose my motivation all together and just stop doing it. I guess I should try to get in to see the doctor to make sure it is ok. What type of doctor should I see. My regular doctor is an internal medicine doctor.

I hope everyone has a great day and Come ON BLUE PEOPLE...... GET YOUR WEIGHT IN

I've been a little off track this week. I haven't done much exercising or eating for that matter. I was sick and stressed so I didn't have much of an appetite. I'm still not hungry this morning (I'm still sick), but I'm gonna make myself eat some food and go for a short walk! Hope you guys have a good Friday.

ThisIsJeffHere

Sorry to post late. I've been sending follow-up e-mails from dinner last night.

I went a overboard last night (crepe stuffed with ricotta and spinach covered in sauce; salad with goat cheese and balsamic; huge steak with potatoes; cappuccino; tiramisu; three glasses of red wine), but I think it actually kicked my metabolism into over drive or kickboxing on Wednesday helped me out.

Either way, I won't ask any questions.

Connie--be careful with that knee. I don't want you to injure yourself so you physically can't work out.

I'm still feeling full from last night, so I think I'll do well today. A friend is coming in tonight, so I think we'll go out and have a drink at an outside bar near my apartment. Tomorrow morning I am kickboxing at 9:30 am. Then, after the Penn State game, we'll go into the city (New York) for dinner and a stand-up comedy show.

Have a great weekend, Smurfettes!!

Hello Team,

I got up early this morning and did Level 1 of the 30 Day Shred. I'll be doing a 30 minute jog when I get home from work. It's going to be a tough weekend. I have a Bridal Shower and plans for our monthly "girls night out". Needless to say, this weekend is going to be full of food and booze temptations....especially girls night. I have a hard time on weekends as it is so I will need extra, extra, extra excercise and lots and lots and lots of self control. I can't afford to gain weight like last week :sad:

I hope you all have super wonderful weekends.

~Tammi

jules1984

Tammi - do you like bloody mary's? As long as you forgive yourself for the salt, the vodka and tomato juice make it about 100 calories.

So everyone - wish me luck tomorrow. Tomorrow is the wedding of my ex's sister. I'm still talking to my ex, and I remain good friends with his sister. I haven't seen him or his family for like 3 months though. They love me and will be very nice - but I fear awkwardness. At least I've lost like 10 or 11 lbs!! Ha! Julie is doing great on her own! :laugh: :happy:

Sunibc22

AArrgg!!!! Well I've been doing great exercising way more for the last 3 weeks. But I've noticed that is is getting harder to keep my HR in the fat burning zone without working harder. This is a good thing of course but I've been jogging on the treadmill during my workout and I now seem to have hurt my knees!!!! I've never really had a problem with my knees before but after the first few times I felt some pain in them the next day but thought it was just my knees getting use to it. But today one is swollen and they are really, really sore! So needless to say I stayed away from the gym today ...hopefully 1 day will be enough. It is soooo hard to stick to my 1200 cals!! Especially on a Friday night! Oh well, hope it gets better and if not I'll head to the doctor next week. :grumble:

obliged

aww blue team has the blues:frown:

cheer up smurfs :flowerforyou:

connieq288

Good Morning Blues,
Suni, I hurt my knee also and it was swollen yesterday but not really bad. I bought a brace for it so taht I could still work out and actually as I was walking yesterday I saw a woman who I know and her hubby is a PA for a orthopedic so I asked him his advice and he told me mine was just water on the knee from working out and it should be fine. OF course if it gets worse which he said it shouldnt to come and see him.

Well I have training today till about 2:30 for cubscouts so I wont exercise until afterwards. I am getting ready to leave for it. So all you blues you guys have been doing great and I know that you will continue to do great. Just keep up the spirit that you guys have had and you will do just fine.

Got to go for now,
Connie

Good Morning girls

sorry for everybody with knee problems...:flowerforyou:

Today I plan on doing lowerbody and a powerwalk I may do a run interval instead...not sure yet?

Everybody have a smurfy saturday!:happy:

I forgot to mention that my new official WI day is on tuesday(use to be sats) but I did WI today and its back to what it was two weeks ago so maybe I will lose this time around....im excited!

tamazinglee

Tammi - do you like bloody mary's? As long as you forgive yourself for the salt, the vodka and tomato juice make it about 100 calories.

I honestly never tried a bloody mary. I will keep in mind for tonight. Thanks for the advice!

Sunibc22

Happy Saturday everyone.
I'm going to try going to the gym again today....hope my knee can take it. I'm going to avoid running and try not to do anything that might make it worse. I'm going out for dinner tonight with a bunch of girls so I have to burn some calories unless I want a salad for dinner!! I find it so hard to stay at my 1200!!! I've been exercising 6 days a week just so I can eat more! It seems to be working so far but those days I ddon't it's quite a shock to have to eat less. But oh well....this is good for me right?!?! :bigsmile: lol. You all have a fantastic day and have fun whatever your weekend plans may be!

Good Evening everyone,
Well after my training for the day I went and did an hour at the rec center. They have this fitness challenge going on for 9 weeks starting Oct 1st. I joined up to do it. I figure something else to motivate me more.

When I got dressed this morning the pants I put on were actually loose. YAY ME..... That was the first time I have noticed it of course most of the time now I am wearing work out clothes. I was actually really happy.

I hope everyone is having a great saturday.

After being totally lazy this week I pretty much got my butt kicked today when I went for a walk. If I still have this cough I'll be going to the doctor on Monday. I only got about 20 mins in before I felt like I was doing too much. Thanks lungs and throat; I appreciate the support. I spent the rest of my day playing video games (and I did study for a few hours)!

Grats on the loose pants, Connie!
I hope your knee held out, Shauna

It's study time.

Good Afternoon my Blue Peeps,
It is Sunday now, I went to the park and walked for almost an hour today. Its harder to do it when I bring my kids because Im trying to keep my eye on them while I walk. But they enjoy coming. I feel really bloated today though. My fingers are retaining water right now. Not sure why. Im also stuck on my same weight. And I have been exercising more this week. I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far.

Connie

may_marie

hey all

sunday night,,, gee does the weekends ever go by fast,, sooo unfair

right .. lots of walking again today... david (my bf) took me to my favorite vegetarian restaurant.. there was loads of good healthy choices but then we had a beer !!!!!!!!!! beer !!!!!!!!!!!! :noway: was it ever tasty too...
arghhh .. so good thing i was moderatly good yesterday but today i didnt calculate de cals,,,

i didnt work out again today .. but walked an other 5 hours or so,, so what do you think,,, is 5 h walking as good as 1h on the stationary bike ???? well even if it wasnt i just wouldnt have had the energy to do it .lol

right so tomorow is monday ,, thank goodness because i need back into that gym and normal eating

may

connieq288

Walking for 5 hours probably burns more calories than 1 hour on the stationary bike because you are carrying your whole body instead of sitting on a bike that isnt moving. Plus you walked for quite a long time. That is great.

Where is everyone today. Just wondering.

Connie

jules1984

I attended a wedding yesterday. Between loading up most of my plate with salad and green beans and just an itty bitty bit of mashed potatoes and chicken and dancing my butt off on the dance floor I actually made up for the beer I drank! :drinker:

OT - the wedding was my ex's sister with whom I'm still pretty good friends, still talking to him as well. The interactions with their friends and immediate family was fine - they all know everyone's fine (I'm the dumpee not the dumper so that helps) but his outer family was very awkward and weird! Oh well, life goes on. On the other hand, his oldest sister who had gastric bypass, (successfully and followed everything to a T and looks amazing) SHE noticed that I lost weight and told me I looked great. I told everyone how great I was doing. :happy:

I don't feel like working out today - was considering skipping a day but my friend just texted me to go swimming later and I think that's a sign to stay on track. :laugh: Swimming it is!

Sunibc22

Hope everyone had a great weekend! It's Sunday night and I'm on my way to bed. It's been a fairly successful weekend. Did ok on cals and exercise. Hopefully the scale this week will show my efforts! A new toy I got that will help burn some calories is Dance Dance Revolution for my Nintendo Wii. It's alot of fun and I work up a sweat in no time!! Doesn't even feel like I'm exercising! Any ways, enjoy your Monday morning!

Good Morning everyone,
Today is Monday :grumble: I didnt do my dvd this morning. I was planning on going to the rec center today but now I am going to take my little one to the doctor instead. I dont think there is anything really wrong but my hubby has been really sick this past week , his dr said it was just an upper respitory virus but it has been really bad for him. He never goes to the dr for being sick. Anyways she is now congested but she has a rash on her upper back now. That is the main reason she is going. If she gets what my hubby had she will be really sick and I dont want her to get really sick. She has been so healthy so far except for getting tubes already in her ears because of ear infections. My middle son who is now 8 had RSV when he was a baby and spent 4 days in the hospital and I dont want a repeat. I know, I am so overprotective.

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I am not sure if I am going to get my exercise in today now. I have Cub Scouts tonight so cant do it tonight after hubby gets home. :mad: :explode:

Tomorrow is another day so I will do it tomorrow.
