    Even though it was frigid and snowing out last night I still went for my 6 km walk! I just had to bundle up warm - but I think I was the only person out on the sidewalks last night! :laugh:

    I wonder if you burn more calories when your shivering?!?

    Great Job!
    Hope you got your heartrate up!

    I love this thread.

    Today I logged my food. I had slipped away, now I'm trying to pay attention again. But I do most of it in my head - it's a good skill to have, and I feel reassured that I haven't lost the ability!

    Logging = vegetables :wink:

    Hello darlins,

    I'm here late again ... lotsa work and other stuff today! I stayed within my calories but didn't get much in the way of exercise today, other than pushing one of those stubborn carts around WalMart for an hour or two. It was a constant battle NOT to have it crash into everything in its path :noway: So I guess that counts for some arm exercises, eh? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Tomorrow night is ZUMBA so I'll definitely get a good workout tomorrow, and then Friday night dance lessons. After my extra big (for me anyway :embarassed: ) workout yesterday, I guess it wasn't a big deal not to get on the elliptical. Tomorrow is another day....

    I'm glad to see all the new folks! Welcome ... this has been a super fun thread!! :heart: :heart: :heart:

    I did 45 minutes of step aerobics with two risers, and one pound arm weights-- it was a great workout.

    Jeannie-- again, I think you for this thread. God made some people encouragers, and you always find the sweetest words for all of us-- you are just a doll-baby-- God bless-- and good night!!

    I also used a melon baller to portion out the cookies and then cut down the cooking time accordingly. Made them very small, so portion control is much easier...

    ________________________________________

    Thanks for the recipe Laura:flowerforyou: :happy:

    Awesome idea about the melon baller....that would make for some good portion control sized cookies... You come up with the coolest ideas:smooched:

    Went to my water aerobics class tonight and it was AWESOME! Some serious kick butt routines and halloween masks ...TO FUNNY

    We have this great instructor on M/W nights she's like the craziest ever...in all the best of ways.

    She cranks the music up to concert level so you fly right through that workout and have so much fun...who knew they had pools at a rock concert!!!:drinker:

    She's got a tamborine (like a lil kids one...too funny) and slaps it and runs up and down along the edge of the pool doing the routines with us (big clas so she teaches from the deck)...OMG..then she brings props like tonight....a hat and crazy wig and scary halloween mask!!

    Sadly tonight is her last pm classes so we sorta had a water party and got pretty crazy...she dragged out a big bag of masks, hats, fake crazy hair and we all donned our attire and we all squished together for a group photo! TEE HEE HEE

    It was simply the funniest thing ever:tongue: So glad I went tonight...I love the gym, love working out..but the hormones have me crying one moment, cleaning my house like a maniac the next, looking for covers to crawl under...well you all know how fun it can get....LOL

    SO I'm PROUD I made it there and no tears on the way....:laugh: Just on the way home:laugh: :laugh: Why you ask? I HAVE no idea... :grumble: 8 stinkin lil letters Hormones

    ate healthy when I got home and now off to bed...:yawn: to have another great day tomorrow with no chocolate again.....this is getting to be a great pattern:heart::yawn:

    they should have pushing a walmart cart listed in the exercise log! I went last weekend with DH and I told him to push because it was pulling in all directions...he said NO-you push, just do it equally and you wont have to lift those weights tonight! ya know he was right? I was sore the next morning! :laugh: :laugh:

    I'm proud because I got up at 4:15 this morning for my 3 mile run and 1 hour Body Pump class! I feel great and burned 575 calories...And it's only 8:15!! Plus the Body Pump instructor said I should consider becoming certified to teach the Body Pump classes-That made me feel GREAT! Have a wonderful day ladies, and gentlemen!!

    :wink:
