Sixers Love Yourself Challenge - Week 2

KatieEppers

Hi all-

Cathy, so sorry to hear about all the craziness that is going on with you these days. I will pray for good results tomorrow, though I am not sure which is the better option.

Rhiannon-you are abolutely right, minute by minute is the way to take it. I had a decision like that today, I will share in a bit.

Krisitin-I haven't ben around as long as the others, but I still wish you the best with whatever decisions you must make at this time in your life. I see you are in Iowa as well, at least you get the positive of the "heatwave" we are having this week, +20 degrees :flowerforyou: you do what you need to do and we are here if you need us.


pdx-I hope you get your issues figured out, perhaps this new info will lead to some healing discoveries for you.

Today, I am over on my calories and my fat intake, but I did get my workout in and still have my situps to do tonight. I heard about the 200 situp challenge on here yesterday and I have decided to take it. So today is day 1, week 1.

I have fabulous news to share. It may not be big to anyone else, but for me, it was a landmark. Today, I went to the Y. I was a bit limited on time, but I was determined to get in at least 30 mins. I got on the treadmill, made it to 4.5 mph and just jogged my way all the way through for 30 mins, one minute at a time. Normally when I am on the treadmill, I have to move the speed up and down to allow for rest but today I was determined not to. I burned something like 362 calories with all the time I was on there. So today, I that I didn't made my inner voice be positive and say, you can do it for just one more minute.

Good night Ladies! See you in the new thread tomorrow.

WOW congrats kge8580 on the the run.....had you worked up to running for 30 mins? or did you do it a little at a time? i have been working on c25k again. now it looks like i might be holding off yet again. just not my time to run.....

pdx....let's see, DX for reflux a years back. over a year ago i had a really bad attack, wasn't getting the gurd in the throat or anything, just allot of chest and back pain. couldn't breath felt like a heart attact. DH took me to the er. they said it was a bad reflux attact, which can mimick a heart attact. my dad has had three. anyway was on prilosec until it went over counter, switched to nexium. still was having these pains. attacts start in the back around bra strap and move to the right side, to the front upper rib cage. by this time it's all the way around (for gall bladder it is normally just right side, if it's infected it's all around). the pain is stabbing, squezing, burning, if you take a deep breath it feels like someone is stabbing you. it comes on 1 or more hours after i eat, and lasts 1 or more hours. it just goes away, just as suddenly as it can come on. i get sorta sick to my stomach, he asked today if i get a fever during them. i don't think so, but i might, i get sweaty. i never get the yucky stuff in my throat. that is another reason why he is turning from the reflux. i do get constipated allot too. while he was pushing on my right side stomache it was very painful. i hope this helps. we find lots of info online. i won't know anything tomorrow. doctor said he would see me in a week, unless it was bad than he would call me. if it's just stones than it doesn't have to come out asap, just soon. he laughed and patted me on the shoulders, just needs to come out, i will give you a few weeks to set things up. he's a sweet doctor, i really like him...i'll keep you updated...

Thanks, Chipper. I actually haven't really worked up to it. I just sort of did it. I think my body is just feeling so good from me actually getting some activity in most every day for the past week. I know it sounds crazy, but it has made a big difference. I have never run for that long before. Thanks for being excited about it with me! :happy: How on earth did you burn 1000 cals at the gym? I am not sure I can do that. What do you do?

Hi ladies!!

Deb - I know! It was a really long break and I'm hoping I can remember how to study!!

Robin - It is good to be back, and I'm hoping to be back here in full force as well. Haven't been tracking cals as I should be!

Cathy - I hope everything gets figured out with the ultrasound tomorrow! We will be thinking about you!

Kristin - I will echo what everyone else has said, but you know we are always here if you need us!!

Katie - Good job!! I think i've only done that once, and it was probably 3 or 4 years ago and I haven't seen that since!! Awesome!!!

Rhiannon, Amy - Good to hear from you both as always, hope your days finished out well!!

Hello to anyone I missed!!! First day of classes tomorrow for this semester, only have one though so it shouldn't be too bad. Hope it gets out in time to watch the inauguration festivities though!!! :bigsmile:

Need to get back on track with C25K....it's been a while, to say the least!! I think when I left off I was on Week 3 maybe? and that was probably a month ago! Yikes!! Hope to do that tomorrow and outside if it stays nice enough here. Otherwise on the treadmill or the Shred DVD, felt really pretty good after I did that the last time.

Not sure on meals yet, perhaps should get some groceries tomorrow so I can actually make something. hehe:laugh:

Love you all, have a great night and see you in the morning for Check-in!!!! Gain, loss, or maintain, you are all fantastic women that I am honored to be in this challenge with!!

Quickie.... catching up for me!

- I love that we have each other too (Amy said this first). It makes me smile to know I we can depend on each other.

Lauryn- You are very strong and I am proud of you for sharing. You will make it through this. I am sure of it. I have always told you, your positive spirit motivates me. Enjoy that running and I will keep you in my prayers. All things happen for a reason. You are amazing. Keep up the good work

Katie- great job w/ the weight loss Congrats girlie.

Cathy- 1000 calories is wonderful at the gym. That's why you have such great weight loss numbers. Congrats and keep it up!

Amy- Glad to see you keeping up the good work.

Amylou- Yay! Back to the normal schedule. Take care and you can do it. Thanks for the post.

Kristin- You are strong! I know you will stay positive through everything. I can't wait until you get back.

Rhiannon- keeping the pounds removed is the KEY to this game. I am glad you learned your lesson from the friday I believe. I have those moments too. You always motivate me. I want to plan meals like you one day ...... hopefully soon. :happy:

Takecare ladies. Thanks for the support and being such great friends.
