    Sanifrey- Is there something that you are doing special to loose 2lbs about every week. 23lbs in 12 weeks is wonderful and congrads. :drinker:

    I just got done doing 110 sit up and then did 35 of my crotch exercises. My shoulders are really sore today. I need a break. Ugh.

    WEEK 13 Challenge!!

    I got approval to share this challenge idea with all of my Blue Team Buddies!! This comes from Marla!!

    This week's challenge is to record everything on our food logs!! No little bites, tastes, licks of anything that can't be recorded!! No stray m&m's, no tastes of dinner cooking, no cleaning off the kid's plates!! If you can't log it - don't eat it!! And, measure, measure, measure & weigh! Let's get accurate & let's be accountable!! We can do this!!

    Who's up for it??

    Glad to hear it!! We need to rally the troops & get some excitement going for this week!! They say that 13 is an unlucky number but I say let's make it our week!!!! Let's kick some butt & lose some pounds!!

    We CAN do it!!

    Even when I do well with my exercise I'm horrible about logging, and I think that's why I struggle. I ballpark it in my head and I know I'm probably way underestimating the portions and calories. All this stress lately is just showing me how important it is to plan ahead and have a routine.

    hotmom - great to have you on board!! how's the shoulder treating you? :smile:

    rach - sounds like you know exactly what you need to do! don't let the stress of life side rail you out of whats important & that's you & your health!! you can do it!! :wink:

    I always log everything - very anal about it!


    san - way to go once again

    hotmom-you doing ok??

    jg-way to work hard

    I will be going to the gym this evening for some cardio

    Have had major pains in my butt and not my husband or kids - well actually my tailbone, finally went to doc today - he said it's osteoarthritis and putting me on meds. Hopefully that will help with any of the sitting down exercises - situps really hurt it.

    Anyway, could be worse......Happy Thursday!

    chrissy - i'm sorry to hear about your pain in the butt!! that's just terrible!! who'd of thought when we were 18 & the world was ours that we'd have these kind of problems when we got older??!! Some girls & I were talking about how doing jump & jacks makes us have to pee! Acutally pause the dvd & RUN to the bathroom for fear we'll leave a piddle puddle on the floor!! What the heck??!! Never would've imagained!!

    just a thought - have you tried cruches on an exerecise ball?? maybe that would help since you're not actually laying your rump on anythig....

    chrissyh Posts: 8,235 Member
    That's a great idea - I hadn't thought about that - maybe I'll be brave and try them tonight at the gym. Is there a difference in the balls-I've seen a couple that are different colors - is there different sizes that I would know which is right??

    I just logged the ONE Gummy Saver I ate - 13 whole calories!
  • sanifrey
    sanifrey Posts: 2,355 Member
    chrissy - great job on tracking that gummy saver!! as far as the exercise balls I think that there are different weight thresh holds. you may want to keep an eye on that! I really enjoy using mine for crunches. you can engage different areas by positioning your feet different or the ball differently on your back. I also like to engage the glutes by making a "bridge" & holding everything tight while crunching up! great way to do chest flys as well!

    chrissy - I hope your bum feels better! Ouch! I think Sanifrey's idea is good about using the ball - I hope that works for you! :flowerforyou:

    hotmom - I hope you're feeling better!!!!!! You were so pitiful! :heart: Aww... I hope your family is helping out more now. The least they could do it feed you healthy food!! :laugh:

    rach - I don't think I told you, but the tator tot art was so cute. :laugh: Hopefully you get to de-stress and relax soon!

    jg - I looked at your pictures and there is a huge difference! such an inspiration. :flowerforyou: thank you.

    sanifrey - all I can say is... you go girl!!!! :bigsmile: :drinker:


    And... I'm up to the challenge! It'll help me avoid little nibbles or sips here and there because I don't want to have to bother with logging. :laugh: I have a bad habit when I'm at my Mom's of taking a big drink of her Pepsi when I get in the fridge for something. And, I never count it. So... this will make me not want to take that sip.

    I got an exercise bike from a friend over the weekend. She's moving and doesn't want it anymore. It's pretty nice, but a bit bigger than I expected. I'm working on my fitness room conversion, but our old roommate is being a huge slacker and not coming to get his crap. I'm about ready to put it on the street corner and call Goodwill to come get it. :devil:

    I worked out on it last night for the first time. Only 20 minutes, while finishing a movie on my laptop. But, I incorporated hand weights and am definitely feeling it this morning!!

    I've been trying to write up an exercise schedule for myself. Just curious... do you guys follow a schedule/plan or wing it based on how you feel??

    Hey everyone! I totally forgot to send my weight in this week. It was 130, so I don't think there was no change. :blushing:

    sanifrey-that's the first time I've done crunches without cringing everytime I'd rotate up - that ball is AMAZING!!!!

    Back to gym tonight - I loved those cruches so I will do more, then elliptical--only have 1 hour - they close earlier on Fridays but I'll use up that hour!!

    Yeah! :bigsmile: That - and buying new shoes - always helps! :laugh:

    I just dyed mine chocolate cherry last weekend and nobody noticed. :grumble:

    You girls are brave! Sounds like fun.

    Rach - post pics after--you could go with the shade of red that the VW is on your BF car that you painted...:tongue:

    So awesome to see everyone here!!

    Chrissy - I'm glad to hear that the ball worked out for you! Sounds like there's no stopping you now!!

    Leigh - Congrats on the exercise bike! I would totally put dude's stuff on the curb & be done with it!!

    Rach - I can't wait to see the hair!! Someone mentioned new shoes & I wanted to add how new panties make me feel better too!! LOL!! :wink:

    I had my step class today & one of the other Moms was nice enough to set up my step for me while I was getting my girls settled. She ended up putting 2 risers on the thing & said to me that she wasn't sure which I preferred. I just recently moved up to one, mind you!! But, I couldn't very well whimp out in front of everyone & remove it, so I stuck it out!! Happy to say, that it rocked it!! It was tough & there was a point that I thought I'd die, but I made it through! Myabe I'll even use two for now on! We'll see!

    Have a great day everyone & keep on keepin' on!! :drinker:

    Thanks guys. I'll definitly post pictures. I'm glad I made that appointment for it, because I just settled on my car and it was for a lot less money than it was worth, but there were issues with the mileage on my title and stuff so I had not ground to stand on to justify an increase. I got the value up about $300 from the initial offer but that's it. It's starting to hit me that my car is really wrecked. I get to keep it, but it's gonna be a lot of work to fix. And even then if it passes inspection it'll have a rebuilt salvage title. :cry:

    With your love of cars - it seems like this is a project that you'll find some joy in accomplishing.

    HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!

    Sorry I haven't posted for a couple of days. Its been crazy around my house. My mother in law lives in Moorhead which I'm sure all of you know where that is at this point. Its flooded and so her and her brother and two cats have come to stay with us. Also, on thursday I brought my husband to the ER because he was running about 104 temp and found out he has pnemonia. Ugh. So he was admitted right away. It doesn't sound like he will be getting out until Sunday or monday. I'm going crazy but glad that I have my MIL help with the kids. I haven't really been working out I have been still doing the situp challenge but that is it. :angry:

    chrissy-sorry to hear about your *kitten*.:laugh: it's not funny, i'm just so pathetic.the ball size goes by height
    rach-let's see the do!
    sani-nice pic.way to giver with the step girl!
    k, maybe i've been reading too many threads here, cause i have so much time, but it's really starting to annoy me with a group of people on here who answer on threads with flritatious comments, inside jokes and redirect the topic. am i the only one that feels this way? and i am by far a straight edge stuck up person, but the cliqueness i notice now is making me want to go elsewhere-except for you guys of course.:heart: have a great weekend, i have to get more focused on the food intake lately since i'm always in bed.:explode:
