    is there any advice you can give on what to do to get to the regular ones?

    kellya,

    While I think the strength training is definitely helping me to be stronger physically, I also think the push-ups were a mental thing for me too. One night our trainer, who was tough but nowhere near as extreme as Jillian on BL, got down on the floor with me and "firmly encouraged". Suddenly I went from barely one to five in one night. Then I thought, wait a minute, I CAN do this. So the next time I added one more and the next time another, and so on. I think with everything else related to fitness and nutrition, it's all about consistency. Keep working at it and eventually you'll see results. :smile:

    good job!

    mornin all! WHERE IS EVERYONE??? GT WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!!

    well, yesterday when i returned home from my pm bus route, I LOST CONTROL!! i couldn't seem to get the food into my mouth fast enough. it was Lay's Kettle Cooked chips (hubby's), and 3 choc.chip/M&M cookies......i WAS well aware of what i was doing, but i didn't care.....and i don't know why i was in this mood.....i was just craving ALL OF IT, sweets, carbs. :sad: i should have left the house.....i am just glad i stopped when i did, b/c i have done a lot worse in the past....

    so, to try and justify the damage done, when i went for my outdoor, evening walk....i began my walk/jog interval routine...first time in YEARS!! it was about 39 minutes, and i had to go farther to get in 30 +min...so I know i jogged a good mile. it wasn't too bad, and i felt a lot better. the scale showed a gain of +.2 from yesterday.....but am still concerned about tomorrow's official weigh in...

    today, i am on plan so far. i did receive my Polar F6 HRM yesterday.....only did the settings, and have not used it yet. did 60 situps and 30 crunches. THANKS loser4real....i will just keep at it for my pushups! and baggy pants syndrome....hehe, i have 2 pairs that are back in my closet, hoping to never be worn again, they are so bad in the hips/waist they fall down to my thighs! i have looked and tried on some NEW smaller sizes....but i am one that has smaller sizes waiting to be worn from my dresser drawers......thanks to being a yo-yoer! the smallest i have is a 12....not sure what i will end up at, but if i have to buy new, and smaller, it will be after i have been maintaining........that is my ultimate goal....to maintain!

    will be going to town to shop today. not much, but i need a haircut, in a really bad way! that helps one feel better too!

    have a good day GT, and stay focused on your comittment to wt loss....skinny vibes to all for weigh in tomorrow!!

    I didn't start this challenge and I'm not sure why - I really need to start pushing myself again.
