    So, we weigh in on Monday morning, correct?
    And our miles for the week count though Sunday, right?
  • carhicks - You are ridiculously inspiring! Someday I'll be able to do 10 miles on a bike! Great job!

    shankleefranklee - I get the same way with TV shows. I'm staying with a friend right now who has a treadmill so I've been watching my show (True Blood) online WHILE I run. It keeps my going for exactly an hour and I never think about the work I'm doing because I'm so into the show! When you get your gym membership, plan on going when Shark Week stuff is playing and then hop and elliptical or treadmill and go! You'll be surprised how many miles slip by while you watch sharks devour things

    ASPhantom - What an AMAZING costume! I hope we get some pictures! And yeah, I believe it's Monday weigh in and logging in miles (so Sunday miles would count)

    luvlyluv - I'm really bad at parties too. It's so hard to stay away from the snack table! But great job staying positive and working it off!



    I'm trying to log a bunch of miles now because I'm moving to DC, the farthest I've ever been from home, on Wednesday and I know things will be rough in that area of time. The good news is I live a few blocks from Rock Creek Park which is huge and has lots of running trails. I just hope I can meet someone to jog with me until I figure out the good ones! Great work everyone! You all are so inspiring!
  • I'm strictly logging "exercise" miles, not my running around at work - that's just my own lil personal goal though...I walk a lot in the run of a day so I want to ADD 100miles to my norm :)

    Can't update my ticker again till Monday morning cause it's saved on my comp at work, hahaha.

    Went for dinner and a movie last night, had just a salad for lunch knowing I'd be eating out, but chose Pineapple Chicken Stir Fry with extra veggies eventhough I was DYING for a greasy feed!!! Proud of that choice today :)

    Keep up the great work everyone!

    Finished Week 8 of C25K today! Not only that but, I ended up doing 5.5 miles.

    It was really nice and I had fun! Had the trails mostly to myself!

    Also, today was my half-way point for 30 DS. (thankfully)

    1st week of C25K done! I'm going to repeat week 1 next week as well. I want to protect my slightly old knees by taking it easy on them but still be able to burn more calories than walking alone. I love my App, it helps me.

    15.45 miles so far. Those miles include walk/runs, walks and trikking

    Went to an 80's themed party last night....only had a couple of fruit based drinks and totally refused the fatty buffet (chips, crisps, sausage rolls etc) very proud of myself for that :) plus I think i must have burned a ton of calories with all my crazy 80's dancing ;D My feet are killing me this morning, lol.

    I've had a bad week so this week so I'm going to be attempting to do all of this in 5 instead!! I got some kind of cold that had me down for most of the week. I'm better now but my daughter is sick instead. Going to take her to the doctor later today. So new week with me at nothing different except that I'll have some miles under me once I figure out how much I've gotten in this week:)
  • jsprax - Great job making healthy choices eating out! It's so difficult to go to a restaurant and find something that won't kill your calories count for the day. And you made me crave pineapple stir fry... yum!

    ASPhantom - Congrats on Couch to 2k. Never done it before but I've heard wonderful things. I have done 30DS before so a super congrats for the halfway point! I found the third section easier than the second so keep with it and let me know what you think

    missyyclaire - Congrats on C25K! My boyfriend has bad knees that he always has to watch out for so I think you're being smart by taking care of them and way to go for sticking with it in spite of them!

    jepo27 - I LOVE dressing in 80s gear! Last year I was a flash dancer and the kids I nanny for just didn't understand how awesome I was. Don't worry, I knew :-) Just play some Jessy's Girl and I'm up burning some major calories! Congrats on staying healthy at the party too, you rock

    Ravyn1982 - I'm so sorry you've been sick and now your daughter! But good for you on staying motivated! You can get this done in 5!!! Get it girlie!



    Getting ready for the big move on Wednesday! Got some good news about job prospects and a free couch from the Freecycle in our new neighborhood so things are going pretty well. I'm still looking for a treadmill though. I saw a good one on the lists last week but we had no way of getting it :-(. Guess I'll have to run outside next week. But what better way to explore a new neighborhood, right? Can't wait to weigh in tomorrow! Good luck all!

    It all went a bit pear-shaped today, we had a barbeque and I had 3 more glasses of wine than I planned to. I didn't eat a huge amount, just too much alcohol.

    Still, tomorrow is another day.

    Well I am pretty proud of my week 1 results! I lost 4.6 pounds and exercised 24.5 miles. I have some areas that I want to improve in for week 2. First of all, I want to exercise atleast one day out of the weekend (fri/sat or sun). Also, I need to make better food choices when out and about.

    Wow well done! 4.6 lbs is amazing in just one week. Think I need to up the exercise this week....not done much at all last week.

    Thank you jepo27! I actually enjoyed my exercise last week and was pretty cranky on the days that I did not make time for myself to exercise!
  • I am changing my weight in the spread sheet when I get home this afternoon! I KNEW yesterdays weight was artifically high from massive amounts of sodium on Sunday so I re-weighed this morning and I am 246.6! checked three times! I'm VERY excited!
