I did good on my calories yesterday and my water intake. Got in a good 30 minutes of cardio and some strength training. Gonna try to workout today but I've been having really bad dizzy spells today especially when I lay down to try and do crunches. I have Marfans syndrome so I get alot of dizzy spells, but I'm kinda used to them by now. Other than that all is good!!

Well today I went for a 20 min walk on my break. I'll go to the gym after work and do the treadmill and some weights. Yesterday all i got in was a walk on my break....but better than nothing!

You'll make your goal of being out of the 240's by saturday forsure!

I had a great day yesterday! I ran one mile and walked one mile... about 35 minutes cardio overall with warmup and cool down. I drank 80 oz of water! I stayed within my calories, well I did eat my exercise calories, but I was hungry!

I didn't get to read through all the posts, but good job everyone!

I kind of skimmed through the post today because I'm currently at work.

Today, my goal is to drink all my water and to exercise.

I missed the 17 days of exercise post. Are we supposed to be exercising for the next 17 days? I didn't get in any exercise yesterday but I can start today.

Opera, I'm sorry to hear about your s-i-l. I hope everything works out for her and the baby. I'll be praying for them.

Good luck everyone. :flowerforyou:

If you can't do that many its fine...someone just said that was their goal during this challenge to do 17 days of exercise and asked if others wanted to do that too.

mommared53

Oh, thanks Shannah and Ness. I'm in on that starting tonight.

This is the first day I've been on target with my food log! I have 700 calories left and I just ate dinner! I'm about to go to the gym so it's good to know I can have a healthy snack later if I get hungry. I took both my dogs for a 60 min walk in the park today and I feel great so far! Oh! and I'm 2 glasses away from my 8 for the day!

YAY ME!!!

So I finally decided to take advantage of my gym membership that I have had for a year and haven't used in about 6 months!! I've been using the little fitness center we have at work, doing the treadmill and stationary bike, but I was REEEEEEALLY craving the Elliptical, so I went!! As I went to log it in the database (30 min) it said the number of calories burned was like 408! Holy crap! :noway: I saw a post somewhere about getting a more accurate number: When entering your weight, put yourself at 10-15 lbs lower, and once you get your calorie reading (mine said 258) you subtract 15% of that, giving me 220. It has the sensors on it to measure your heart rate so I'm assuming the machine was a little more accurate. I WISH I had really burned 400 in a half hour but I'm going to stick with the 220 I estimated. Better safe than sorry!! In addition, I did some weight training with the machines. I have also been using the free weights all week, doing some biceps curls and lateral raises but it felt so good to have the more controlled movements of the weight machines. I can't wait to go back!!!!

Sorry about writing a book!!! LOL!!

just checking in, these last 2 days haven't been good exercise days for me, but i have been withing my calories. my son has gymnastics on weds evenings, so we go right there after i'm done work, and I work full time. and tonight I HAD to clean up when i got home! house was a mess!! i plan on making up for it between tomorrow and this weekend though. we have a family party sat night, so i'm going to try to be good, but i'm gonna run extra on the treadmill sat morning just incase i eat some extra junk food, its a bday party so i know there will at least be cake, and i dont know if i want to turn down cake!!
good job everyone that got their workouts in!

You'll make your goal of being out of the 240's by saturday forsure!

:frown: :grumble: OOPS! So after work I went to the hospital to visit and when I got home after 7pm, I was starving and my muscles are VERY sore from my lower body workout last night. I also had to chat with a GF for a looooong time because she's dealing with some emotional stuff right now and needed me. By the time I got around to cooking dinner I was STARVING and just started eating everything. :sad: Seriously....ate the lunch meat in my fridge - and I justified it with the fact that it was too high in sodium to have in there...so finish it off and it wont be there. HELLO?!?!? I should have just thrown it away. ACK! :mad: That was very stupid of me. So...i'll try to get in 2 great cardio workouts Fri and Sat morning and then weigh-in. It's just a slight setback (I hope) and I'll try to double my water intake tomorrow.


On a better note! Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers. My SiL gave birth to a beautiful 3lbs 7 oz, 17 1/4 inches long baby girl at 3:09pm. I haven't been able to see her yet as she was whisked away to the NICU and only the parents and grandparents are allowed in to see her. But, my brother is awesome and took some pics on his phone. She's sooooo beautiful, very stable, and doing VERY well - all things considered. I really really REALLY appreciate all the support, thoughts, prayers and well wishes. Both mom and baby are safe and RESTING! :bigsmile: I'm definitely a PROUD AUNT!

I got my work out, but didn't make the best food choices today! So I understand what your sayin. Glad mom and baby are doing well! I'll still keep them in my prayers. i'll be an aunt for the first time in August...its not the ultimate situation...its a long story...but i'm excited for the baby! Have a great night...tomorrow is a new day!
