Ok so does everyone just want to continue with the running challenge or should we do something else? Ideas anyone? Something anyone needs help with?


Oh yes and the quote for a new week. This one really kinda kicked me in the butt when I read it.......

"Opportunity is missed by most people because it's dressed in overalls and looks like work."
Thomas Edison

Let's not miss our opportunity at a healthy life with friends and family just because it hurts and we have to work at it every day!:happy:

hushmonkey1234

That is a great quote! And is so true!

I LOVE this quote, Kacee! I'll be back soon to post my weight... Hopefully it'll be a loss!

pepamint83

Good morning, and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!


so im not weighing in for another 2 weeks but i did an amazing walk today and im trying to think of a new challenge for all but all i can think of is try something new that u havent done yet like a new excercise or new healthy food. yeah i know maybe its being back in school.


kacee dont think i didnt notice

PunkinHeadsMOMMA

Oh yeah btw - I'm +2 pounds, not all that surprising considering the week. Plus AF is coming, yeah. Oh well, like I said I'm glad it's a new week. I think I found some of my mojo again. I was watching "what not to wear" and thought, I want cute small clothes for the summer....so there was a bit of my motivation back. Actually, my lo is almost asleep for her nap, so the sun is shining and I think I'll go for a run/walk.:happy:

Ari -- the funny thing is I started the thread before I saw your post from yesterday. I was thinking of you when I put it up there. I was just going to put it in the post, but remembered you wanted to see it in the topic title. Just for you.:laugh:

MissResa

Okay, down one more pound... I am very happy, even if it is a small loss, because my goal was to lose 20 by May! ALMOST THERE!!! Off to take a walk with my little one-I'm going to be enjoying the sunshine while I can!

LuckyLeprechaun

drum roll please....................

three pounds lost! I hit the 30 Lb mark, and I am no longer obese, just overweight!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Oh yeah!!!!

Haven't run a step, still afraid of the sore ankle flaring back up, wanna let it heal completely before I start up again, so as not to drag it on longer than it has to...

BUT in the face of all this good news, who cares?

kimlee

Hello everyone! Hope you are all having a great day. Not much happening in my world today - eating has been pretty good. I have a training run scheduled for later tonight with my hubby, so that should burn some major calories.

PunkinHeadsMOMMA

Good job everyone so far!
Lucky Lep -- the whole world wants to know....how does it feel to not be obese?:laugh: :laugh: Good for you chica!

Resa -- so here's my attempt.....
Breakfast -- light yogurt and grape nuts
Lunch -- salad with low-fat dressing, salami slices and cheese

LuckyLeprechaun

wooooooooooohoooooooooooo

I believe James Brown said it best..

I feel goood! I knew that I would!
I feeeeeeeeeeeel good!
So good! So good!

I can't even describe it. It definitely puts a spring in my step and a sparkle in my eye. I look in every mirror. I'm going to be an insufferable narcissist by the time I finish losing:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

thompsons81702

I am down 1 lb this week! There are several challenges that we could do. drink water, no weighing all week, post a healthy reciepe to share, post your food all day, eat all your calories!!!!!, I am sure I can think of some more if you give me some time.

thompsons81702

Also I am excited to say that I have lost 40 pounds 15 weeks! I hope to be at 175 by June when we go home to vist. I am at 183 right now. I also am working on my abs major time. I have the Jillian Michaels "No More Trouble Zone" DVD and it is so good but a killer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

missmez

I didn't weigh myself today and I am so full right now - only cuz I just finished dinner - chicken breast (on the bbq yay!), peas and carrots and some rice. I may skip the weigh in this week since I got my 30 day shred in the mail today :bigsmile: I'm going to start that come the weekend, so I'll weigh the day I start and go from there.... hmmm, or should I wait until next Tuesday to start? Then I have all weekend to prepare - mentally, emotionally and not to mention clean up the basement where I will be doing the workout.

Anyway, when i weigh in I will let you know! Thompsons, congrats on your milestone 40lb loss! That's so awesome for you! You look amazing my friend!

MissResa

It was so busy today, I'm so sorry that I didn't post more! Okay first thing's first...

Christine and Lucky-you two are awesome! I am so happy for the two of you... Reaching your weight loss amounts must feel incredible!

Ari-You are my rock! Any time that I feel like I'm slacking, I think of my little snail walking around in NYC and I get my butt into gear!

Kaycee-I just have to say that I am soooo happy that you're back. This thread wasn't the same without our fearless leader in charge!

Anyone else I didn't include, I'm soooo sorry, and I'll make it up to you tomorrow!

Okay, for my meals today, I had:
bagel w/ lowfat cream cheese
subway 6inch sandwich, sunchips
1 cup of rice, and home made curry
Recovery shake after working out...

I burned 747 calories today with exercise, so my deficit is 600+ calories. Typing that makes me want to go have a piece of fruit and cheese, or maybe some peanut butter, except it's like 12:10 here! I'm off to BED! Hope everyone has a great night/morning/day!

kimlee

Good morning everyone! I hope you had a great night last night. It is a beautiful day here and I am feeling quite energetic. Hubby had to work late last night, so he was unable to run with me. But I still managed to log a 30 minute run on my treadmill. The only downside is my left knee is kind of achey this morning.

I just finished up breakfast - a bowl of oats and honey cereal. And now I am off to work. I'll check in with you all later!

PunkinHeadsMOMMA

Ok so i didn't make it outside when I wanted yesterday. I had to wait till the munchkin woke up and then drag out the stroller and take her with me. It was nice though and I walked farther and longer than I would have if I was alone, so that's good. I think today I might load up the stroller in the 4-wheeler and just go straight to walking on the road. Our driveway is very bumpy and rutted, so it took me almost 20 minutes just to get to the road. :noway:
Breakfast was the same as usual : Light Yogurt and Grape Nuts, and Coffee of course:laugh:
Well I should go because I'm looking out my window and I have a horse in my front yard:laugh: :laugh:

kimlee

PM - A horse in your front yard...am I to assume you live in the "country"?

I do and near a dairy, so it is not any suprise to find cows in my yard at any given time.

pepamint83

kim where r u from? being a city girl THE city lol New York City i think the only cows there are here r in the well no i dont think there are in petting zoos oops :laugh:

Ari-You are my rock! Any time that I feel like I'm slacking, I think of my little snail walking around in NYC and I get my butt into gear!

MissResa

Hey Ari, guess what I bought?! Banana Nut Cheerios!!! I'm going to try them for breakfast tomorrow morning! I am so excited-does that make me sound strange to be so happy to try some cereal?

Okay, so meals so far consisted of:
bagel w/ reduced fat cream cheese
home-made sushi w/ avocado and imitation crab meat, reduced fat cream cheese

Dinner is up in the air right now. I've been so busy today with playdates for my daughter, teaching her friends mom how to make sushi, and then also trying to run errands earlier on-I really wasn't paying attention to having snacks as usual... I am waaay under my alloted calories, but I will make that up with dinner, I think. I have volleyball in a couple of hours, and also P90X again tonight with my husband.

I think we're going to have some terrific numbers this week. Having my husband join in on my workouts has made me ultra-conscious about the choices of food we eat! I'll post more tonight!

sudzie88

Okay, so I finished up volleyball and burned 1066 calories!!! Whoo-hoo, I am going to spoil myself with a good snack tonight! I hope everyone has a great morning(I know it's almost there for you non-Alaskans)!

Welcome, Jess, to the thread!

Ari, I'll think of you when I have my Cheerios tomorrow!

kimlee

Ari - I live in a tiny town in the south eastern part of Georgia. I am about 1.5 hours from the Georgia/Florida border. My husband and I live on a dirt road on land that was once part of his Grandfather's farm. While he has a day job as a project manager for a commerical contractor, hubby is a farmer too. We grow blueberries, corn, and a few other things.

PHM - I think you are more "in the country" than I am.... and I never thought I would say that to anybody.


Yesterday was okay foodwise - I did snack a bit too much in the afternoon. I didn't get a workout in either, my left knee is extremely swollen and sore. I hope it is not my old knee injury flaring up. On the good side of things, I was down a pound at my weigh in.

MissResa

Kimlee-I hate it when you're in the groove of things, and then an injury sets you back! Rest that knee, and I hope you feel better soon!!!

Ari, I had those Cheerios for my snack yesterday night, and so did my husband! Oh my, were they yummy! My husband LOVES banana bread, so I think he found a new favorite cereal!

Okay, so for breakfast, I've had a protein shake... No snack or lunch yet, but it's early here. I'll post more later!
