    It was an amazing trip, probably try to post some pictures later this week. Even climbed to the top of a Mayan temple.

    Man crunches are brutal on an upset stomach, made it through today's exercises and had a light on steps day (final recovery from vacation day and still have a bit of an upset stomach). 9913 steps, 4.56 miles total.

    I was crying for mercy though with the split squats, my muscles above my knees are still hurting from climbing up the Mayan temple. But I got though them!

    Now got a shower and sleep. Hope everyone else had good luck with their exercises.

    Hey guys, just want to apologize but I'm going to completely miss a day. Been sick most of the day unable to really eat or keep what I am eating down. Hoping its just a 24 hour bug but I feel wretched and with not having food I'm not sure I want to try and exercise on top of that.

    I am having a rough week as well. Severe pms with nausea and vomitting. Hate feeling like this and can't wait to get back to excercise soon!

    Hello Miss Fits. I had a quick request, if you don't mind, could you please freind request thinkthindiva? She is my (extremely close to my age) aunt and is looking for some more support on her weight loss/get healthy journey. She was inspired by all of my glowing reports about how supportive and great the MFP community is and she decided to join. I'm hoping her experience with the site is as wonderful as mine! Since this team is so wonderful an supportive, I thought I'd send a message to all of you ladies here :)

    Also, are those of us who can going strong this week??? I hope so! I'm going to head out to the gym tonight to get my swim on!

    I'm still feeling a bit under the weather but I'm finally eating right again, after sleeping all day >_>

    I should be able to get in most of my challenge exercises today and some walking in tonight. I'm thinking I just had a relapse of the food poisoning I got while I was in Mexico.

    Hope you start feeling better soon! Never fun to be sick!!!

    I spent part of sunday sick and all of monday. Tuesday was spent dealing with a stressful volunteer position for PTA. I'm hoping with TOM that's the reason I gained last week. I feel so much better and back on track. We leave Sept 23rd for vacation but planning on working out on vacation. Only speed bump in the road for me is hubby found out at work today he's going to Indiana next week for work. Pros - I always kick butt with calories and working out when he's gone. Cons - I'll be over stressed with soccer, cross country practices, girl scouts, church, part time job, daycare, and getting things ready to leave the following week for vacation. Going to make some excel sheets so I can mark things off so it'll help me stay on track. It worked last week I just didn't see a scale lose just a gain! Half Marathon October 1st....looking forward to it! I enjoy posting on facebook during the races friend's comments keep me moving! Just hope my running shoes can make it till then they seem to be giving out but I don't want to get new shoes just before a race.

    Hope everyone is having a good week! I've heard lots of great comments about food diaries and trips to the gym! Congrats everyone on your hard work!
