    Way to go on that pound Sara!!!!

    Yesterday was a good day...stayed w/in my calories, did 40 minutes of BL Cardio Max, and drank all of my water. I stayed sane too (the biggest challenge of all considering the kiddos' attitudes yesterday:grumble: ).

    OMG, it must have been in the air, Kelly. Yesterday (as I think you know LOL) was UGLY over here. 2 days in a row of that. Today better be a better one with my boys. OY!

    Fingers crossed both of our days are better today!!!

    Good Morning Gutless Gutters!

    I haven't weighed - not sure I haven't had a BM in several days. I think I am working my body out of starvation mode - I was WAY to low on calories for about a week without meaning to be and by body is rebelling. Hopefully will be good

    Ran stairs for 10 minutes yesterday and my butt cheeks are feeling every step of it. Did crunches, Lunges, squats, arm curls in front and back, jumping jacks - not too many of each but I am trying, I felt good about it. That's two days in a row I've exercised-really trying hard! It feels so good when I'm done I just hate getting started.

    WTG :drinker: Gotta start somewhere...doesn't it feel great?:drinker: I love the exercise endorphins :love: :bigsmile: :drinker: :flowerforyou:

    :smile: Good Morning!:smile:

    So far, so good!!! Yesterday I had 128 calories left for the day...woohoo, went to my strength class and got in 15 hard minutes of cardio before I had to pick up the kids...:grumble: would have liked to gone longer...I was in the zone...:grumble: anyhoo, and I got all my water in...yippee!!!

    Now, today, I have a busy afternoon and am really hoping to get in some cardio at the Y, then tonight it's dinner with some friends...so...I will have to make good choices!!! Wish me luck on that one! :laugh:

    I hope everyone has a terrific Thursday!!! :flowerforyou:

    Good job lady :smooched: :flowerforyou: Good luck at dinner tonight. It is possible to dine out and not ruin your day :flowerforyou:

    Good morning GG!!

    You started this thread with cat like speed Kellchie! I bow to you grasshopper.:laugh:
    Sorry you forgot your phone and purse but at least you remembered your pants. I think AWTY has you beat though.:laugh:

    Great job 3BabyBeans!! Upping calories really does work. I've tried that tactic MANY times, happily of course, and it has worked every time!

    Yesterday was a great day calorie wise. I was good. Did my Shred and about an hour of yoga. Upped my crunches to about 450, as I was beginning to not feel anything anymore. I have 5 more pounds to make it to my Valentine's Day goal. Woo Hoo!!!

    Hope everyone has a great Thursday!:flowerforyou:

    I think its the use of my smilies :blushing: It makes it colorful...interesting :bigsmile: Yup...pants are on :drinker:

    WOWZERS!!! I was happy doing 200 crunches :laugh: You rock Soupy speedmetal.gif

    Keep it up :drinker: You're already beautiful though crush.gif

    Do you ladies eat your calories burned for the day? Does that make sense? I guess if you have 1200 cal and you burn 500cal, do you then eat 1700cal that day?

    I ate all but 23 calories yesterday.

    In other news, I got into in fight with a donut yesterday. I had to stop at the store after work to get batteries and batteries only, I don't know what possessed me to walk buy the baked goods.

    I had my eye on a doughnut, grabbed a bag to put it in then suddenly I don't know what came over me. I literally gave it the finger and said "F" you out loud. I looked up and saw the baker staring at me. I smiled and walked away.

    I'm such a dope but I didn't buy that doughnut that was whispering my name.

    I don't think I can ever go back to that store....at least I'll be too embarassed to walk by the bakery again.

    Kellch~ I would die if I left my purse and phone at home. A couple of weeks ago I noticed I forgot my cell phone and I turned around, I was already 2min from work. Luckily I don't live too far from work.

    Not always. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I'm a rebel. :smokin: LOL Some people have set rules on whether or not they eat their exercise calories & I'm sure they'll give you better reason than I do.

    That is definitely it. There's only one queen smiley user in this town and she just so happens to be the coolest chick to ever set foot on MFP.speedmetal.gif
    Give it up for Kellch y'all!!!!

    During the summer I was up to 800 crunches.:noway:
    I stopped doing them and couldn't do that many in a day if someone paid me.:indifferent:

    Okay everyone...I need a good swift kick here...

    Some of you have amazing amounts of time put into working out...HOW???

    And also...I need to push myself...I know my body can do more, for longer, but how I can force myself to keep going...

    Thanks for all your helpful advice! :flowerforyou:

    Theresa - I'm a stay at home mom so I squeeze in my exercise whenever I can. 5 am, naptime, after bed, etc... I have a set goal for the day & I try my hardest to achieve it. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. I guess my big thing with pushing myself is goals as well. Set a goal for yourself & that way you'll have a "reason" to keep pushing your body. HTH! :flowerforyou:

    Wellllllll.........I really don't have the time :grumble: I work 50-60 hours a week and by the time I get home I have 3 hours til bedtime (and I just can't get myself to do workouts at 4am...I am NOT a morning person...AT ALL :angry: ) But I come home, have a quick snack so I'm fueled for the workout, do my cardio, then walk the dog to cool down, after that I shower and go straight to bed. Not much "me" time anymore other than my workouts. But I actually am to the point now that I enjoy my workout and walk with the dog instead of watching TV. I do give myself one night a week to veg out. I used to do it on Monday so I can watch Prison Break. But that's over for the season :frown: So this week I just relaxed on Tuesday because my body was sooooo sore. You just have to find the time. Even if its 10 minutes here and 10 minutes there. It all adds up. You can do it :drinker: :flowerforyou:

    And Good Morning :smooched:

    Yes because there is already a 500 calorie deficit built in.......where's the link to that article by Banksie y_thinking.gif

    I cheat. I get paid to workout 6 days a week.

    <--teaches aerobics

    Since I'm already there I incorporate my workout routines after class. I can't use my classes as my main form of working out, it would be unfair to my members. I'm there to give them a good workout but my main focus is watching proper form, give motivation and entertain them for an hour.

    Yes....I feel naked :embarassed: without it :sad: :sad: :sad: But I live 30 minutes away and I was already 4 minuts late today embarrassed.gif I was tempted to turn around but I knew I couldn't since I was so close to work already :sad: :sad: I'll go get it at lunch :drinker: :smokin:

    Thanks Kellch! As 3babybeans suggested, setting a goal for myself in this area is needed. And, like you said, 10 minutes here and there, do add up. It's just hard for me to wrap my lil brain around...I'm more of a "have to be a the Y for so long to make a difference" kinda gal. Definitely some things to think about...Thanks again! :flowerforyou:

    That's what I have been doing. Working out is easy for me, it's watching why I eat that makes things difficult for me.
    I tend to burn quite of bit of calories at the gym. I want to make sure I'm doing this right.

    Theresa~ I have lots of fun teaching. I can't believe I get paid to have fun. I really do think working out can be fun, course I act like a fool and they eat it up.

    Somtimes I do struggle to get to the gym but feel so much better afterwards. I love that feeling.
