the NEW black team

loreeb18

I'm not doing so great with the fruits and veggies today. :grumble: All I've had so far is a banana.

I'm trying to do a last chance workout all throughout the day. So far I've done 30 minutes on the elliptical. I want to try to do more later on. But if not, I at least got some excercise in already.

I've did 90 min. total on Sunday & 85 yesterday. The scale seems to think that that means I should be holidng on to more weight. I'm busting it out again today. Perhaps that will make a difference.

So, you're liking the ellip., Lori?

i had to. i'm going to single-handedly tank this team with my weigh-in tomorrow. Told you that you didn't want me, Sam! LOL

It's alright. When we kick you off, I'll put a heart next to your name for my vote and cry telling you how great a person you are. :sad:

Just kidding! I'm glad we aren't voting people off!

Dave was working his butt off the other day saying he wants to do a really great job for the whole BL thing. I said, "You know there's no $250,000 prize." He said, "I know! But I still want to do really well."

LMAO! I would also like a sad face from someone & a "SORRY!" from someone else. Then, I'll all go tell you "Don't worry. I'll be back & I WILL win the $100k." LOL Oh...I don't think that's how this one works. :glasses:

Good for Dave! I'm glad that he's getting into it!

You guys have been way busy!

My workout today was all weight lifting. I'm still at 5 pound weights (I'm a weakling) but I managed two sets of 20 reps for each muscle in the upper body and then I went home and did week 1, day 2 of the 100 push up challenge. I was surprised! My proper push ups are getting better!! I managed three full form without wanting to off myself. HAHA.

I also managed 20 minutes on the bike after the weight training. I've never been able to do the bike because it hurts my knee but today it didn't hurt. Strange.

Anyway, my weigh in probably isn't going to be good tomorrow... I seem to be retaining a lot of water since I started drinking it properly. I think my body is freaking out! It's not used to being hydrated!

From a camel to a fresh water creature... this will be interesting.

See you guys later! :happy: :happy: :drinker: :drinker:
Good luck everyone.

Wow!! Everyone seems to be doing great on here.. I have been a little busy the last two days and feel a little lost.. but I'm sure I'll catch up. My eating and tracking calories is working out great.. and for the first time in two months I've worked out.. (twice this week!) It feels good to get back into the routine of things.. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in.. whooop whoop!!

Well, you know, see-- that's sooooooo like you-- you try to take the credit for everything. Sheesh. I'm going to bring the team down singlehandedly, too-- let's be independent together!!!!!!!

Slow and steady wins the race--

Productive day today-- I have 30 minutes of audio to transcribe, then off to exercise--

Later!!!!!

Marla64

okay-- this is pissing me off-- as my day goes on, still within my calories, and minute by minute I can feel my body get bigger and bigger. I just changed my clothes to get into my exercise garb, and the flab on my back which has been mostly unnoticeable due to weight loss and exercise is so inflamed by hormones that it's just itching to flobula over my waist band.

This is what sooooo discourages me, because there is no cure-- no solution. I'm watching the cals, watching the sodium, even taking my #$@! diuretic and the bloating is out of control.

Yeah, I know, bittchen about it isn't going to help-- doesn't even help me to feel better about it-- but, man-- grrrrrrrrrrr-- this has been out of control since Thanksgiving--

So, even the rant on another thread about how freaking out about a coupla pounds up and down isn't helpful, instead we should rely on measurements-- crap, even that has been nutso. I have one #$@! week each month where the poof is gone, and that week is over. I'm destined to be the friggin' Michelin Man for another 3 weeks.

I suppose the good part is that I had the good week over New Year's when we had a houseful of company-- ??

Oh well-- sighhhhh-- grrrrrrrr-- heading to get kidlets to bed and then some turbo jam tonight-- I'll sweat my fool head off and take a diuretic in the morning and see if I can stay even for tomorrow's weigh-in--

Okay-- I feel better--

Later, gators!
