    Good morning everyone! I am a little late checking in this morning because "surprise, surprise" there was a pile of stuff on my desk that nobody wanted to deal with. But, its done and I am feeling fine today. I got some good cardio in yesterday then promplty sat on the couch to eat my lunch and fell asleep. I actually fell asleep before eating my lunch and didn't eat until my daughter got home from school. So, I guess I needed sleep more than sit ups and push ups. Today I am heading to Curves after work for an extra workout this week. Afterward they are having a breast cancer awareness event so I am going to stay for that as well.

    mrsduck- nice job getting those miles in on the bike!

    Cynthia- I will let you know what we get at flower world. It will probably be mostly chrysanthamums and some pretty purple kale and what not as it will be getting too cold for much else soon. Although I had some other flowers make it through to December last year.

    Steph- I love the new picture. Your face looks so thin!! Absolutely beautiful.

    I have a compliment for myself today. I am pround that I have made it to a point that exercise has become such a routine/habit that even when I was sick, it never occured to me to NOT workout. Have a great day!
  • i would like to give a compliment to Amy - wow you are amazing! sometimes i don't pay attention to the weight tickers and yours just caught my eye, what an amazing accomplishment, and your tenacity to keep on going is inspiring to all of us, well done to you so far, you look fantastic

    Welp... it's back to the teeny tiny seats tomorrow and return to home! Bub-bye North Carolina... as much as I love NC, I don't love the attitude I took on with my routine. I just said F-it... and, I did some exercises, lots of walking but I ate. I feel like all I did was eat. Felt like crap because my body HATES this type of food, though the taste buds like it. Not everything was unhealthy ... but much of it was. Gosh though, food is good in the south! Tomorrow, it's going to be tough b/c we are in airports all day -- but then let me tell you -- Saturday will be day 1 of a 3 day cleanse and re-start!! Bring on the protein... Went to Bog Garden today and had a nice walk... am gonna try to post a picture, though as I was at Serenity Falls trying to find some serenity the rain poured... my hair is still wet and it's a good 8 hours later! I even have the heat on in my hotel to try and stop the chill in my bones. Beautiful though! And then darned you Cyndi for telling me Catherines has good sales! We don't have Catherines in Montana but I saw one today... and wentin. Over $100 later I walked out with a skirt, underwear and jewelry. Picked up a 2X skirt without much thought. It fits perfectly... had I put thought into it, I probably would have gone with a smaller size... but my goodness -- who would've thought?! It was weird because I kept finding stuff that I liked and realized that my size wasn't there and for the FIRST time ever it was because the sizes were all TOO big! I can't hardly believe it. If there was more time in the morning and I could remember how to get there, I would return the skirt for a smaller size... which I may still do. I am, can't believe this <<takes a big gulp>> I am afraid that it will be too big for me if I don't exchange it for the smaller size. How can THAT possibly be?!?

    OK, so I gotta run... I have so much to make up for upon my return - but I promise you JJ I will absolutely be working on some feet for those mountains!! Let's be real -- you know that if I have to dance 24 hours straight, I will!! We will absolutely get those feet in for EVERY mountain...

    Couple quick ones to help on the Wisdom Summit... and, by the way, I am going to "nicely kick some *kitten*" on this one -- WTH?? We are BETTER than what we are showing! Please don't overanalyze this one and start dishin' out the kind words and the love. SHARE THE LOVE!! I really kinda "fought" to get this as a mountain and I said that we didn't need it to be a low summit because we are better than what we are currently doing... so get acknowledging... yourself, the compliments others give you and your sisters and brother here in the MFP world! We need to get moving on this BUT KEEP IT REAL AND MEANINGFUL... as there are limits. If we don't start now -- we won't be making this summit. And this isn't one that others can "cover" for you or "help" with your share of the feet. The limits mean that we ALL need to do our parts. Yep, that includes me... I've been a slacker -- but slacker no more...

    IRL --
    While in Denver - at various moments my sister-in-law and her parents all told me how good I was with Gabbie and how comfortable she was with me. They said what a good mom I would be and often said how happy they were to spend time with me because they liked me and that I was so kind. It means a lot that my sense of being can translate across cultures and that they recognize me as such. And, my mother, who never (i.e. NEVER EVER) has anything nice to say to me said 2 things as compliments... first that I looked really good on the day of the Baptism and that I had really worked a great deal on the hotel room. It was surprising to receive any compliments from her... I feel like they should count as double or triple!! I had several people compliment me on my photo of me and Gabbie - not only on her but actually on me looking good and that they could see the connection that Gabbie and I had.

    I received a compliment from the consultant that is working with my work organization. She saw me the first day of training and said how nice I looked and that she loved my hair - had I done somethin' different? I do love my hair and I did look good that day. I thanked her happily and said my color was for fall! My co-worker on that day complimented me on how good I had been looking and doing, how she admired me for the hard work and that it had been paying off because she thought I looked great. That was Tuesday.

    Thursday - my co-worker gave me compliments on 2 seperate occasions. First, she said that I looked good and that my clothing was very slimming. She also told me later that she admired my sense of adventure and confidence because I just attack life and don't seem to be afraid of anything. I am owning all of that. I did feel like I looked good today (again, will try to post a photo) and in general - I do like to just do things and explore without hesistation or fear. Additionally - I had 1 person at the training with me who talked to me about my good ideas and that she wanted to stay in touch because she thought that I had it all together and would be a great resource for her. Another person said that they thought that everything I said was insightful, thoughtful and pertinent. Those both meant a lot to me because I do feel like I "get" the concepts that we are talking about and that I am a valuable resource for my organization.

    COMPLIMENTS FOR ME...

    I am in a smaller size and it was inate today - I easily picked up a smaller size, I wasn't tempted to grab a bigger size to hide in... I am doing this. I AM DOING THIS!! I wear clothes that are smaller and I love that... but more than that - I am not hiding in bigger clothes and it's just almost natural for me to grab smaller clothes now. Without thought. It's in there... the trimmer, healthier me is in there and coming out. I am so proud and happy about that!

    I actually have been asking for people to take photos of me... and I have shared them. There are years... YEARS... without photos of me. However, today - I was persistent in being able to get a photo because I know that I am looking better. I was so happy and I wanted to share that with those closest to me by posting the photo. AND - more than just that... it's a full body shot! I know, STFU, right?!? But, it is... and as soon as I download it - you all will see it. That's amazing growth for me and shows a different kind of confidence because I am always (i.e. ALWAYS) behind the camera... not in front of it.

    And finally, while I usually would just find the reasons to "beat myself up" over the choices I have made on this trip -- instead, I am proud of the choices I made for getting exercise in when there was every reason and/or excuse to not do it. No fitness room? No problem! And, today, when i could have done a lazy day activity - instead I used the opportunity to walk!! I am happy with the natural choices I make that are healthier and support my new lifestyle!

    Lots of feet there... now all the rest of you -- get to it!! And, raise your glass (not only that, but that's a song, so dance too) and have a glass of water with me! Cheers!

    Well, I weighted in tonight and WOOOHOOOO :bigsmile: I'm out of the 300's not by much but I'm out. Went out to eat and wish I didn't WOW :noway: on the calorie intake. I better watch what I eat this next week or I will be back in the 300's. My tummy hurts :sad:

    After reading Becks post I just had to say... I lubs you ;)

    But I also had a thought the other day.. When I was on the way UP in weight at this point I was all about buying loose clothing, to hide the size. But now that I'm on the way DOWN. I notice that I want tight clothing, to show off how much smaller I am. Even though to most people. I am still the giant heffalump of 361 lbs.

    I just find it amusing.

    Also I am thinking of digging out my old concert t-shirts and seeing if they fit. I had a wild hair to put on my Aerosmith Love in an Elevator tour shirt this morning when I stepped out of the shower. :)

    Congrats on being out of the 300's Zena... on to Onederland!! ;)D

    I am just happy to once again be heading for Twoderland ;)

    Woops... left out some acknowledgement... Thank goodness it's not a lot because my brain isn't working so well (sorry to report that I think that the sugar over the week has done me in...) and since I haven't been on here a lot, not so many acknowledgements to honor. So, I am happy for that because I don't want to miss any...

    Cyndi: I lubs you a whole lot too! Thanks for your belief in me and compliments on making the right choices - even if part of the time - while on vacation (well, away from home anyway - it's not really vacation). I agree with you that I can do and did do it on most occasions - so thank you for that compliment. It means a lot to me that when I am feeling great that I have someone in my corner saying the same thing that I am feeling.

    JJ: ahhh, Thanks! Your compliment really touched my heart! I hope to be just what you said... it is what I strive for. To be sunny and caring but still speaking the truth and holding people accountable in a way that is loving and not off--putting. So, I love that you see me in the light of what it is that I am trying to be and to do. Thank you.

    woot, woot, some more feet up that mountain!

    Today I would like to compliment Brisa. You are a little ray of light. You are supportive of others and your posts always make me smile. You are determined to meet your goals and will not let anything get in your way. You are showing yourself and others that life can continue to be fun and enjoyed without sacraficing your health goals. Proud of you. You'll have that handbag before you know it!

    Thank you!!! :-D. Being supportive of others makes my heart warm. And yes, I will reach my goals! With company like you and this love chicks and rooster, there is no other option that I can see :-)

    Just read JJ's report and realized that I have not been adding my Zumba dance time as double. I always drag someone to it with me, but since it's a group thing, I wasn't counting the person I take with. Sometimes my mom, madrina, BFF, sisters, classmates. I totally overlooked that they counted as dancing with me. But tomorrow's Zumbathon I will make sure to add it up right :-D


    Muchas gracias señorita JJ

    Everyone is doing so great on this challenge. I'm hoping to contribute more next week now that I'm feeling better - I'll have no excuses. I also have a good reason to do something different next week. One of my cousins saw a pix of me on facebook and asked my mom if I was losing weight. She was so happy for me that she sent down some workout DVDs, rubber bands and weights so I need to figure out how to use them now. I also have an exercise ball coming this weekend that my sisters daughters no longer use. I'm thinking about setting up a real gym in my house. That should be fun!!

    Keep it going gang!

    and everyone else on their hard work...

    i have held firm at same weight for days....i'm being good, and EVEN DRINKING MORE WATER (i'm usually bad in that department)....but i'm actually at peace with my mini plateaus as of late,i think of it as, better to plateau than to gain right?

    Evening All,
    I'm feeling a little bit dodgy so going to keep it short and sweet. Was out enjoying a couple of white wine spritzers when overcome with stomach cramps. They subsided enough on the way home that I got in a little dancing. Yep, I had Cee Lo Green's Cry Baby blasting away on my ipod. Its got a great 50's beat and I actually did a bit of dancing coming up the sidewalk and then totally did the Dirty Dancing stairs walk/dance on my way up to my flat. Managed two more songs before cramps returned. Spent the evening nursing a cup of tea but wanted to share that I squished in a bit of dancing.

    Nfat - that is a great accomplishment, well done.

    Hey All, sorry I haven't been around much the last few days. Busy with work and stuff.

    Well, my knee is still bothering me and I think it's probably time to go see the Doctor....yech. I bought a knee brace from the drug store (as recommended by the running store) and I can't get the damn thing on my giant leg! My legs aren't actually fat just extremely large from popeye'esque muscles. Not sure what to do now. I will return the brace and see if they have a different brand to try.

    Anyway, I hope everyone has a good weekend.

    greg - i had to buy a larger knee brace from an online physio type website, it was so long ago i dont have the link, but it was close to $50...

    i think if you have the option, you should look into swimming - you're weightless - it's life altering for your joints, especially the bad knee - dont stop doing cardio, you're doing so well! i joined a gym 3 weeks ago to start swimming because of thigh pain - (which is 85percent gone) see if you can find a pool that wont lock you into a year contract so you can keep up your cardio

    i was inspired by a woman who said, she just gets from one end to the other doing the doggy paddle - i thought, if she can do it, then so can i

    good luck!

    Dang, JJ, the one weekend I probably won't get to the gym because the girls are home and want my time, and you double the miles on the easy one. Oh well, I will try, maybe Sunday.

    Ok, so I am going to compliment myself, well, congratulate myself. I have been thinking about walking the trail that goes around the lake by my house, but I have not done it because I was afraid of getting somewhere, needing to stop, and being stuck. I honestly didn't know how many nor where the exits were. So today I bite the bullet and decided to give it a go, thinking that if I make it halfway there should be somewhere I can call someone to come get me from if I have to. Well, I walked through the painful first mile (and by pain, I mean the leg pain where my calf and shin feel like they're splitting) and keep walking. 1.5 miles in, and the hills start, and there's still no exit. 2.5 miles in and there are more hills...meanwhile I'm wondering why so many people are coming from the opposite direction...apparently I chose to go the direction of the UP hill climbs. At mile 3, I finally hit the park that is one of the only exits someone could've come to get me, and I just keep walking. I walked the entire thing 5 miles without stopping, even when my chest was burning. My whole body hurts now, from the feet to the shoulders, but it felt so good to do it. Not only that, but I'm even more proud of myself for planning how I'm gonna go back next week and try the other direction to see if there really is a difference. Then I'm going to work my way up to walking to the gym because after the park is a branch-off for a trail that takes you straight to my gym...isn't that convenient.

    Love the dancing Steph! That is EXACTLY what I was going for with this challenge! And I love the image of you dancing up the steps like Baby! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

    So go biking with the girls Bobbie!

    Woohoo on the walking the trail! I remember you talking about it and being nervous, and I love that you just went for it! My 3.5 mile route took me forever when I first started out, I thought I was going to die and its the same, a loop that you have to complete. Now, its just routine to do it. Yours will be too!

    About the first mile, I have discovered that my body HATES to start walking and running. It takes about 10 minutes for my body to "get over it" and the motion to get easy. No matter how much I stretch or warm up before hand, its always the same. Its like my body is saying..."Hey Numbskull! We DONT RUN!" It hurts, aches, feels awkward. Now that I know that about my body, I just grit my teeth and power through.

    Biking with the girls would be fine except we don't have regular bikes...In fact, I haven't been on a regular (non-stationary) bike in over 20 years. Not ready to go there yet.

    Everyone is doing so well.....I am so proud of each of you.

    I did a few days of just aerobics but not sure how to log them....any ideas?

    If I may share something....I bought my first pair of Rider jeans yesterday....no buying jeans at Catherine's any longer. There is no elastic waist in them and they fit my tush. That is one goal that I had....a pair of non-elastic waist jeans.

    To share another....at work the other day, I was talking and examining a young boy. His mother kept staring at me. Finally, she asked how long I worked there since she didn't remember ever seeing me....although she did remember a nurse practitiioner that sounded like me but was really "heavy set". I smiled and told her that I was there 10 years and the NP she was referring to was me. She wanted to know what I had done since she wanted to lose weight...as she sat there with a bag of chips and a bottle of Pepsi in her hands. So I told her about MFP

    Tomorrow is a work day so I better get myself to sleep. Night everyone!!!!!!

    Clarification needed, please? If I am biking with someone else at the gym - do I still count it as double? My friend and I race on the courses that are automatically done for you... Espresso bikes, and they simulate the curves, hills, etc. WAY, WAY, WAAAAY harder then the regular upright and/or recumbant! Crazy how much more of a workout it is! So, can you just let me know? I am back at home and planned to do some biking -- but at the gym, as I don't have a "real" bike.

    Thanks!

    Well I arrived early at the gym this morning before Zumba and in honour of double biking points weekend. I got in 15 minutes on that damn stationary contraption. i don't find it uncomfortable, just a bit boring and I am never happy with the burn. That said I completed 118 mailboxes this morning. I was planning on doing a 25km cycle at the gym tomorrow as well which when doubled will be quite nice. :happy:

    Hoping for some random dancing feet later to add to the zumba time.
    Happy Saturday all!

    I would like to compliment Greg, my fellow Canuck. Greg you always make me smile. You are so encouraging and always maintain a positive attitude. It has been wonderful to watch you increase the amount you are walking and to tackle the challenges that food and lifestyle provide and win! You are doing a great job of changing your life. Thanks for being our rooster!

    Pam, aerobics count towards dancing. 1 minute=1 foot up the mountain. BUT if you are in an aerobics class, or are doing your aerobics with someone, anyone, else, then it counts double....so 1 minute = 2 feet up the mountain.

    Hope that answers the question....let me know if it did not!

    So, JJ, you know I love you right. As much as my body was hurting from yesterday's hiking fiasco, I still got up this morning and took my butt to the gym to get 12 miles in on the bike. Then the girls and I went out for some retail therapy...of course, it was more therapeutic for them since it was my money being spent. I got myself one cute blouse and a couple of new bras (I was in desperate need). I'm still not ready to deal with buying anything else, until I'm truly in another complete size.

    I did get a compliment from my daughter this morning when I put on one pair of my jeans, and she said "Mom, you know those are getting way too big on you." So, I put on the only pair of skinny jeans I own, and to tell you the truth, if my calves would shrink even the tiniest bit, these wouldn't even be considered skinny jeans anymore because they keep sliding down. Oh well, before the holidays, I will have NO CHOICE but to buy all new clothes, or I will be bringing in the new year as I came at birth, with nothing on as it all falls off...lol

    Gee Whiz, thanks Steph! I can't tell you how much I appreciate that. I've been feeling pretty down for the last few days b/c my knee is really hurting and I can't walk, so this post really "hit the spot." It's really bugging me that I can't walk.

    I hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

    Hello all, I am back on line. The cruise was great and I did get some exercise in while sight seeing. i will add my data to the spreadsheet tomorrow. I hope all has been well with the rest of you. Unfortunately, I think I put on some pounds, but considering I have been on vacation since September 22nd, I guess I didmnt do to badly. Tomorrow we are hiking up Diamond Head in Waikiki. I hope I can make it. Carla
