Hope everyone is doing well.. For me I am struggling to stay focused... My exercise plans keep getting interrupted
... Ok I know no excuses but I'm mainly venting... I swear sometimes I think my hubby wants me to not loose weight... I love him but he sure makes it hard sometimes or most times... Sorry to vent but Im getting discouraged.. I need to try and re focus... Ok I'm done venting now!!0 -
Ok I can't blame him it's up to me... I can do this!!0

You can do it! Sometimes its just about keeping focused on the small things. If I can't plan meals for a few days or keep to a strict exercise regimen, I focus on what I CAN do: eat lots of fruits/veggies, drink water, take the dog for an extra walk or do jumping jacks.
Its sounds like not a lot but it makes me feel better and gives me motivation to stay the course.0 -

Is it possible for you to exercise first thing in the morning, before the rest of the day can interrupt you? I'm only able to do this on weekends, but it's so nice to get it done first thing in the morning, before having to catch up on all my errands/grocery shopping/cleaning/etc.0 -

Yes you can!! and I totally understand the plans getting interrupted, it happens I always plan to work out more but ??? I do like pinkita says and atleast get up 3 times a week early and walk...I miss it now when I dont, I cant wait for bed that night but I do feel better through out the day! You gotta just find your schedule it will be ok!!0 -
Today was a big achievement for me. I actually got up n got my butt in gear. This is very hard for me, especially after the weekend I had. I logged all my calories, paid attention to what I ate and drank, did some housework as well as worked out a lil bit. Now for most 20 minutes is no big deal but for me 20 min of zumba is a HUGE feat. I actually did the whole 20 min!!! reason I'm so excited??? Well I have no true rhythm n get very embarrassed to dance, am a creature of habit, hate to fail n tend to be lazy about trying new things. Last time I tried zumba I kept saying ” o I can't do that” and just stood there. Mind u, I bought my WII just to get this zumba game so I could lose weight and it took me four weeks to open it up and try. So for me to do a full 20 min class, well that's a big deal...and I'm proud of myself. And I intend on replaying today tomorrow. My motivation right now??? My ticker to read ” lost ____ pounds” and for the numbers to be in the double digits.
Btw...in reading some posts earlier, I saw 30 day shred...what is this? Can anyone tell me more?
Way to go!! :flowerforyou: Keep up with the zumba. I started at the beginning of this challenge with 20 minutes each day. I remember how hard but fun it was, and sweat poured off me. Now, I can do 45 minutes without missing a beat! Keep up the awesome work.
The 30 Day shred is with Jillian Michaels. That's my next video to get!

I have been there! My husband FINALLY got on board with it all when he realized he was getting way too large himself! Of course, men lose it faster (damn them!). Hang in there. Keep venting and keep up your hard work!

Yay for electricity! Hope you didn't lose alot in the freezer and don't come down with the 9-month illness which CAN manifest itself after long days without power LOL0 -

might not be getting power back until next wednesday!
WHERE are you? Hope you're safe aside from the power issues! That really bites. Hope you can stay with family/friends who have power until your area recovers.0 -

yeah, everyone has been really quiet. i know some of us on the east are still without power (me) or struggling to get things back in order. jen is still having issues with her computer. she's logging from her phone but can't access the boards!0 -
(Sneaking in from work) I miss you all so much! :frown: I brought my computer to the IT tech here at work and I have my fingers (and toes) crossed that he can do something with the mess that I have going on. Looks like it was the AntiVirus Pro which is a b!tch of a virus to get rid of :mad: plus it takes out your hard drive with it.
Again, fingers crossed. :grumble:
Please please please don't think I have deserted you all! I feel like I have completely let eveyone down and that's NOT FAIR! I will take care of all of this! :sad:
For now, please continue the plie kicks, incorporate some burpees, drink your water, get your sleep, and PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO WEIGH IN FOR THIS WEEK!!! Once I get up and running, thats exactly what I'll be doing... Putting everything together to get it to all of you! :flowerforyou:
You have no idea how much I appreciate your patience. This week has been a mental and physical killer! For all of those in the northeast US, you know what I'm talking about. Please take care of yourselves everyone!!!

Well I just wrote a long post and hit a wrong button and it's gone:explode: But there was a message from Jenn :bigsmile: WE are moving along and trying to stay focused Jenn... Just do your best like us and we will all be back together soon
Take a deep breath too...don't stress out too much!
Back from my food show - Treamilled by myself on Wed...3 miles walk run :bigsmile: Then Bucca De Beppo with a big group for dinner :noway: But we walked there and back about 1 mile round trip. I did have wine :drinker: I also ate well..I mean made good choices and SMALL amounts.
Food show day.....better than normal...but had a lobster rav in Alfredo, chicken lasagna and orange chicken. Passed on cookies, cheesecake, pizza onion rings, not at my booth :bigsmile: Opps then I was invited to dinner at a nice restaurant after..did good shared and no wine..had a long drive.
Today I have to hit the gym.... My son has his first football game tonight, he told us he isn't playing...so not being a football fan I would rather go to the gym....my husband is planning on going.. I feel bad sending him on his own...since he really is no social butterfly....but why go to watch my boy on the sidelines??? Don't get me wrong I am loaded with team spirit....but the first few games are with schools out of the area...like pre season...
Well I have so much work to do...gotta get to it!!! I missed you all :drinker: Oh no a long weekend is coming, how are you handling that????? :huh:0 -
Hey everyone,
I hope you are all doing ok with all these earthquakes and hurricanes!!! I lost power at my apartment on Saturday night thanks to hurricane Irene and still don't have it back...so please don't delete me from the group! In addition to having very limited computer/internet access since obviously I can't get online at home, I am mostly focusing on getting through the week and taking care of things with no power, so unfortunately watching what I eat is NOT at the top of the priority list this week. However, I really want to get back on track next week and catch up with the rest of you!!!
Thanks!!!!0 -
Wow, what a week for some of you. Hope everything is OK. For those who have lost power and are concered that we will delete you, I hope I speak for everyone when I say, Don't worry just take care of yourself and we will still be here when you get back.
Take care all and be safe.0 -
Oh Crap We just had a little earthquake!!!!:huh: only 4.2
Might try spin tonight - I'm nervous and so is my butt :frown:0 -

Glad to hear that you guys are ok!
I bought myself the zumba fitness game for my wii and just finished doing 20 minutes! it felt so great! Although the class will be starting again soon. I'm looking forward to it! It's been a long and difficult summer, but I'm ready to get my butt in gear!0 -
Just take care of yourself Jenn!! Hope everything is ok. Take care and we will be here.....Hugs from Texas:drinker:

Teri - You are funny!!! I am happy to report that I just got back from spin! I may have to have my underwaear surgically removed from my crotch...sorry TMI:embarassed: Anyway it went really good :bigsmile: My lungs could keep up but my legs needed a break alittle more than the rest of the class:grumble: But I'm OK with that. I will give it a few more trys for sure. I posted about spin earlier today and everyone said how much they love it but you have to hang in there for 3-4 times before calling it quits.
I'm in it to Win it Hitting the showers then off to watch some High School Football

Jenn....you have let no one down. You have been through a hurricaine...flooded basement, computer virus. I have been in nice weather, strolling through our state fair...not having these challenges right now. But I have had challenging times and will again and I understand them. Take care of yourself and we will all keep on doing our plies...other exercises and weighing in. God bless and I hope the virus is resolved w/o your hard drive being destroyed!!!!:drinker: :bigsmile: :smokin:(Sneaking in from work) I miss you all so much! :frown: I brought my computer to the IT tech here at work and I have my fingers (and toes) crossed that he can do something with the mess that I have going on.

HOW could we POSSIBLY forget to weigh??? We're all rooting for each other and we don't want to let you down! And just drop the "I haven't deserted you" state of mind. Gees, I'm sure most of us would be focusing on other things (OH, like getting water out of our homes or trying to save our belongings - sound familiar) instead of worrying about logging in and being our cheerleader. NOT that we don't LOVE you being our cheerleader, but let us cheer you instead right now. You've been through a helluva week. Give yourself credit. And time. We'll be here when you're able to come back full force (boy, I'm sure it's gonna be something too!)0
