Went to the gym again today and burned 472 calories in total. 20 minutes stair machine, 15 minutes elliptical and 10 minutes treadmill. The grand total: 45 minutes!
Tomorrow I will be taking off as I have to work all day and in the evening as well. (Parent Teacher Conferences to do).0 -
Finally back to working out! Did a 40 min kickboxing video burned about 413 cals or so. Stayed within my cals but went way over in Sodium (damn panera bread sandwich!) Unfortunately not gonna meet the 15-20 mile goal this week either. I will try that next week. Being sick killed my routine for a bit but back on track now.0

Hi everyone. I'm copying and pasting what I put on my wall a few minutes ago. You'll understand why I haven't been very active on MFP this week. I haven't even read your posts but I hope to have time tomorrow.... Thanks for your understanding ;-)
I haven't been the greatest friend lately. I'm sorry. Homeschooling has kept me very busy the past few days. I'm also taking care of my mom this week beginning today through Friday because my dad is having surgery tomorrow at 6:30 a.m. on his shoulder. My dad has been doing a lot of pre-op stuff, but my mother has Advanced Parkinson's disease and she can not be on her own. Anytime someone goes under anesthesia like my dad will tomorrow, it's a concern. The surgery should go well, but I'll be glad to know that it did when it's all over! I'll be taking my mother to the the neurologist on Friday...they will be turning the "probe" off that has been inserted into her brain and take her off of her meds so that they can adjust the probe. My dad has told me how hard this is on her, but I have never witnessed it. He says that she shakes extremely badly and is unable to even sit in a chair or bring her hand to her face. She will go through far worse than me, but I fear that I will not be able to maintain my composure when I see her like that. I need to be strong for her. Would you please keep our family in your prayers over the next few days? Especially my dad and mom. Hopefully by this time next week, I should be back to normal with my eating, exercising, and being a better friend to you. Thanks everyone......0 -
myboysmomx2: Prayers said! I pray that your dad's surgery is quick and uneventful and that you will do exceptionally well as your mom's primary care giver.
I finally got back in the flow of things today. I burned 407 calories doing banish fat, boost metabolism dvd. I was under calories, but over fat and sodium. This is progress from the last few days. Hopefully, I'll be back on track completely by the weekend. 0 -
Hey everyone! sorry i havent been around much! with leaving Saturday, physical therapy, a hurt knee after physical therapy and my husband flying all week (along with base drama) it's just been kinda crazy! I burned 413 cals today and have stayed in my cal goal all week....so why did i gain weight'? ugh quite annoying.
Next week I will try to be on as much as possible but I wont have my laptop and will be out and about burning calories shopping I hope everyone is doing beautifully! 0 -
I am feeling really bummed right now. I have fallen off the excercise wagon... I need motivation to get my bootie out there. So easy when the husband tells me to take it easy and enjoy the pregnancy. UGH I wish he would say go work out fatty so I would get moving. Now I have stayed within calories all except one day and the scale has not moved.... I will walk tomorrow * I Hope*0

Life has taken over this week. Sick, busy, blah, blah, blah. I managed one workout this week and have sort of tracked my food. tomorrow is back on track with both tracking my calories and working out. I really hate when life gets in the way and I allow it to derail my efforts, but that is life and I just keep getting back on track. I'll have my measurements and weigh in tomorrow. Hope you gals are all hanging in there!0

Went running outside today. Burned 394 calories. Not sure how far a ran, as runkeeper jumped from 4.5 -7.5 km in 3 minutes. It was right at the end of my run, so I am guessing about 5 km.0

Hi everyone. I apologize for being so silent the last few days. As you already know, I've been taking care of my dad after his surgery and my mom who has advanced Parkinson's. I have been doing lots of doctor's appointments with them, errands, cooking, cleaning, work, etc. My dad did not have a good day today, in fact it was a stark contrast to yesterday. He's not sleeping well, and he was sick tonight (pain med's). Anyway, I've eaten "high on the hog" the last few days, but have not exercised. Tomorrow I hope to take time for myself to exercise again. So, it's church in the morning and as long as my parents are doing well, I'll come home to exercise.
*******************Today (Saturday) was weigh-in day and measurement day.************** I could not even post a reminder about that. So, for those of you who have not posted, please do so. If you don't want to post your exact measurements, that's fine. You can post your inches lost instead :-) I'll post my information tomorrow after church because I don't know it tonight. Your measurements lost are from the past TWO weeks time.
It looks like several of us have derailed a bit from our nutrition/exercise routines. Just remember that because you had a bad day or week for that matter, don't go back to where you were. You know the direction that will take you. So...hang in there and get back up on that horse!!!!! I look forward to being a better group leader/supporter this coming week. We weren't even sure that my dad would have surgery until the afternoon before, so it definitely changed my whole week. I'll be back to support you and your goals this coming week. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!0 -
I burned 354 calories running 36 minutes today.0

Almost didn't work out today. But I bought a 15lb kettlebell and some new workout pants yesterday and I really wanted to try them out. I did a quick 15 mins kettlebell workout and burned about 200 cals. I still went over my food calories today, but it's sunday and though I track on Sunday, I don't go follow it too closely as long as I'm under 2k.
myboysmomx2 I'm hope you are able to take some time for yourself this week! It must be very difficult caring for your parents on top of everything else you have going on. I hope your dad's recovery goes well.
Janie your poor knee! That must be awful! But WTG on the crunches! That's some dedication!!
Like myboysmom said, we may have bad days or even a bad week, but just keep coming back and keep trucking along! Good luck to everyone and keep up the good work!!0 -
Better late than never right...I do believe today I am getting back into my exercise routine (can't believe I have actually missed it lol) I haven't taken my measurements yet so
9/12-220.2
9/19-214.8
Honestly for the past week of being on medication for the crud...all I have done is eat really clean and healthy (minus a terrible moment with a bag of beef jerky oh the sodium) I was actually shocked with the scale all week long to be honest but I will take it lol
I hope everyone is doing well ...and to everyone that is having a rough patch you and your family are in my prayers0 -
Hey ladies, I am still here! Thanks for the well wishes, everyone. I still have a sinus infection, but keeping up with my workouts. Haven't lost that much weight this week. Only .2 lb!! It's better than nothing, right? My DD and I will be walking the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure this weekend (Friday, Saturday & Sunday) in DC. We will walk a total off 60 miles this weekend. So my plan is : get all my STS workouts in before Wednesday than rest for the walk. My legs are already hurting just thinking about it
BTW, ladies you are doing fantastic with your workouts! Keep it up!0 -
Burned 662 calories today walking. Have been wanting to start a new routine, but life hasn't let me. Hoping that I can get going on that tomorrow. Hope that everyone is doing well...I look forward to seeing all of the updates tomorrow. Good night Rock That Dress Ladies!!!!!0

Hi girls!
Sorry I've been so off the grid lately. I'm coming back, though! Thanks to all of you who have prayed for my mom and dad...your prayers are greatly appreciated. Daddy is having a slow go of it...He's like the Iwo Jima and Vietnam vets (he's a Korean War Vet himself), who just amaze me every day. It's tough to keep him down, but he's doing a little bit better today. Again...thank you for your prayers!
Okay...so I was not able to post my weigh in or measurements on Saturday, but here's what I lost during our first two weeks:
WEIGHT: down .5 pounds
Body Fat %: down 1%
Waist: lost 0.2"
Hips: lost 0.3"
Arm: lost 0.3"
Left thigh: lost 0.3"
Right thigh: lost 0.2"
TOTAL INCHES LOST IN TWO WEEKS: 1.3"
*********************Group Update & Ticker Update************************
We have had a request for new membership to our group. Two of our ladies have been inactive for a while. Actually margarette has never done anything with the group. She is the mom of twins and she did ask to join the group, so maybe she just needs a little encouragement. Feel free to send her a message of encouragement. Unfortunately, sparklesxo has deactivated her account with MFP. Scubaangel will be our new team member and I'm glad to welcome her...she lives in England :-) Please update your ticker to reflect her addition to the group. Remember to change the uppercase IMG to lowercase img at the beginning and end of the code.
GOALS....Have you decided what your goals are for this week? If not, decide what you'd like to do and write it on the board. If you aim for nothing, you'll hit it every time! Although it sounds basic, my goal is to exercise Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I want to be able to get back into the swing of things and I'm hoping my foot will rise to the occasion! I'd love to lose one pound by Thursday, but that may be setting the bar high considering my eating and lack of exercise this past week. We'll see.
bayerngirl - How did the Susan G. Komen Walk for a Cure go in DC? I know you've been dealing with a sinus infection too. Are you better? I hate those...they really knock me down!
vkcooper - How are you feeling in your pregnancy, and have you found your mojo again??? You can stick with it...you need a healthy mommy so you can have a healthy baby :-)
Janie5605 - You are THE CRUNCH QUEEN!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!! Is your knee showing improvement?
I think you're all doing great, so keep up the good work. Thanks for your understanding when I needed to take time out to care for my parents. My dad has a long road ahead of him, so your continued prayers are welcomed and appreciated!
Have a BLESSED, INCREDIBLE, and GOAL REACHING week!!!

It's been a very long while since I last posted. I started making wrong choices and then got sick, so I haven't really been doing well. I'm up a lot of pounds to 163. I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow so that I can have my healthy foods stocked back up again. I sent my DH to the store when I was sick and he stocked up on processed meats and foods.
Today I did Level 2 30 Day Shred and burned 192 calories.0 -
Hey all
Yesterday I burned 1455 cleaning my house hehe ...I have to mop the rooms today and vacuum the sofas but I am guessing not going to have that kind of burn at all ...so I guess I need to start working out again
Whatever this crud is that I have it keeps going away and coming back just waiting for the doctors to give me the result of my CT lol
Ok so my goals for this week are to workout at least 4 times between now and Monday normally would be more but trying to ease my body back into moving around etc.
Welcome to scubaangel
Cindy you can do it
Myboys.. great loss especially with all that you are going through0 -
Thanks for the welcome ladies. I guess I've a fair bit of reading to do to catch up with you all!
Today was my weigh in day - I use a Tuesday as it's my day off work.
So today I'm at 11stone 3lbs, my goal is 10 stone 5lbs.
I've only just had the go ahead from my GP to start running again so I plan on doing at least 3x1.5 mile runs this week to start getting myself back in to the habit of it, and to get out on my bike again as I haven't used it in months. I plan on running Wednesday, Friday and Sunday mornings. I'll most likely use Tuesday's as my rest day being my day off I tend to spend it doing errands or studying as I'm working on a degree with the Open University.
The other half is away on a range day in preparation for deploying next spring so I've dug out an exersize DVD and planning to complete the warm up section this afternoon will post back later with a rough working at calories burned.0 -
Today we power walked 6.5 miles and I burned 985 calories in 1 hr. 45 minutes. The reason my calories burned today is because I worked out in my aerobic zone for so long. It was a REALLY TOUGH workout! Here are the numbers: 985 calories & 127g of fat burned. Average pace per mile 16:01 minutes. Average speed per mile 3.75 mph. I worked out below my HR zone for 1 minute 45 seconds, in my HR zone for 7 minutes, 42 seconds, and above my HR zone for 1 hour 37 minutes. I don't know if my HR spiked right from the start because I haven't formally worked out in a week, or if it was due to a combination of heat/humidity, and the sun bearing down on us at times. My husband and I called our son and had him bring us some water to finish out the workout.
Today was also my first day walking on my bad foot since going to the podiatrist again yesterday. He gave me my first cortisone shot which also had something else that helps to break up scar tissue. My foot felt FANTASTIC, only a small amount of pain on the outer right side of the heel. I was able to walk properly without turning my foot in or out to alleviate the shooting pain in my heel (which did not exist today). First time that's happened in MONTHS! YAY! I recommend that if you're dealing with a nagging foot or knee injury, go see a podiatrist & have them custom fit you with inserts for your shoes and give you a shot if necessary or go see an orthopedic specialist. It's better to begin healing your body from the start rather than allow it to get worse!
Welcome again to scubaangel!!!! For us Americans, can you please clarify how many pounds are in a stone???? I've seen other MFP users use that term before and I don't understand ;-) Thanks!
CindyLynn - I'm glad you're feeling better. I know from personal experience that it's still easy for me after all this time to make poor food choices when that type of food is available to me in my own home. Glad to hear you feel good enough to go shopping and make some wise buying decisions :-) Glad to have you back girl!
Texastae - Keep us posted about what the doc says. Hope you feel 100% soon. Until then proceed with caution and take good care of yourself!0 -
I think its about 14lb to a stone, I'll try to work it out to make life easier for all of us but was having a brain fart earlier and couldn't do it in my head, lol. So if my math(s) is right thats
11stone 3lb = 157lb
making my goal 10stone 5lbs =145lb
Decided to take advantage of the semi decent weather and went for a run this afternoon instead of using the DVD, 16 mins 1.39mile burning 169 calories.0 -
I am not weighing in until my vacay is over BUT today I burned 1423 calories (still need to log it on here) according to my HRM I borrowed from my sister! I thought to myself how the hell did i gain so much weight when i was working this hard 5 days a week (I worked a shift at my family restaurant today) then i realized...oh ya we own a pizza place with amazing beer....that 1400 cals burned gets eating along with some of its friends.
Doing surprisingly well overall even being on a "break" this week! My knee is killing me but thankfully they uped the pain killers So Im a happy camper. 0 -
Hi Ladies!
Did pretty well today. Decided to go for a run today outside and really enjoyed it! I haven't run in well over a week. Did 2.23 miles for about 27 mins and burned about 286 cals. I just took it easy and walked for about 60 secs twice to get my heart rate down a bit. Tomorrow will be a TRX day. As far as goals, right now my goal is to get back to working out at least 5 days a week. I think 6 days a week for me is just too much. I really don't need to get sick again. So yesterday was a rest day for me.0
