hello greenies! i seem to finally be settled here with grandma, so now have more time to myself and i can visit MFP more... i haven't set myself an excercise goal for the week, i got too much excercise at the garden and in the house anyway...

it's gonna be tough in this small town, i can't even find me the products i eat, i munch about the same things every day, need to travel to another town to buy me some better stuff... our garden products are not yet ready, so need to mostly buy things for at least a month more... :ohwell:

today is the 1st of the month, so i took my measurements as usual... here is the updated chart



i'll pop in a bit later to write more, off to the kitchen now

jacque509

Wow, Purr that soo cool. Glad you settled in. Take a breath
Well feeling pretty good today. Manage to lose another pound over the weekend. Which is a new thing for me. Hope to keep on keeping on. I am really psych, my clothes are looser. This morning before work I tried on a pair of summer pants I haven't wore in two years and they fit!!! so flying high at the moment. Well I need to stay focus and Writing every day really helps. Even with alot of people MIA this weekend, I just kept writing and I thinked it really help.
Hope evryone is having a good week!:happy:
Any imput would be nice about using the weights machine at the gym, not very familar with them and need to start off slow

Hey Greenies. Sorry I was MIA all weekend. I did really well with my eating and excercise this weekend. Weekends aren't as much of a challenge for me like they were when I started this in Jan. I think I am finally making some real lifestyle changes.

Well for the excercise challenge I am way over for the week. I am finding with the nice weather I am much more active. My son and I and some friends of ours went for a bike ride to a nearby lake and had a picknik by the lake and played on the playground(Big rope jungle gym). The ride was about 7-8 miles round trip It took about 2 hours. I know along time but it was my sons first bike ride on the trails so I am super excited that he made it the whole trip. I felt like such a cool mom for doing this and so did my friend. After the bike ride. We played in our above ground pool. Total excercise for saturday 3.5 hours.

Sunday we went for a 2 hour walk and played in the pool for 2+ hours. So 7.5 hours of excercise. My goal is set I think for 60 minutes a week. I will try and get the weigh in chart updated tonight.

Jacque~ I don't have to much advice about the weight machines that I can give you over this but my best suggestion is to ask an employee of the gym if they offer an intorduction to the machines. Ask them if they can show you how to set them correctly for you and how to use them. I know they were thrilled at my gym when I asked how to use them.

Purrr~ Glad to hear you are getting all settled in.

Hi all! Hope yout Monday is going well.

Not much to report, oh, forgot one thing about my trip to Target..............they have their own brand of Crystal Light type drink mixes (sugar free). I got a grape, apple and raspberry tea - bf loves the apple, in fact if I am not mistaken it tastes almost like apple juice. Just a thought for those of you like myself who have a hard time getting in plain ol water!

Christie~

I am going to Target tonight and am going to have to look for the apple one. Thanks for the info!!

yeah, I only lost .2 this week as well. but i agree, a loss is a loss. i'm in for the exercise challenge as well. i'll have to go check what my goals are, i think it's 60 min a day for six days. angie, you work out 150 min a DAY???? that's awesome! do you worry about overtraining at all?

I am not working and my son is in school so I have all day to exercise so I usually break it into 2 session. I swim for an hour and I do the elliptical for about an hour. I have nothing else to do so the more I exercise the less I am at home eating.

jacque509

We got free lunch today, did good had a samll portion of everything and did not go back for seconds. I am proud of myself

aml0484

:WTG Jacque!!!!! :drinker: :flowerforyou: It really sounds like the free lunches are a hard spot for you. Keep up the great work and the pounds will continue to melt off!

If you can afford a personal trainer, I would recommend one. I won 3 sessions with a personal trainer and I love it. I wish I could afford one. Also, usually when you get a gym membership they offer a free lesson on the machines for new members. Well, at least at the few gyms I have joined did.

Great job on all of your exercise for the weekend. I do a lot during the week and very little on weekends especially since my son is not around for the next 6 weeks.

Will you email me the chart when you are done so at the end of the week I can update it? I think that is what I am supposed to do correct? If not just let me know. Thanks.:happy:

:bigsmile: Hello GREEEEEEEEEEEN TEAM!!!!
I know I know it is monday and mondays are usually the worst! But as mine was starting out to be a typical junk monday (Woke up late, rush to get the kids ready for school, my kitchen floor felt sticky for some odd reason:huh: ....ect.) Well I decided to go to the gym today, so i went, the hubby met me there for his lunch break, and we got to watch the kids in the same room (Although they were rotten:huh: ) It felt AMAZING!!!! I havn't gone to the gym in forever, and usually the thought of going in somewhere up there with the thought of going to a dentist :yawn: But I went and I feel SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!
Hopefully everyone gets to feeling good like this today!
:drinker: So got my workout on (CHECK) Got my water in (CHECK) And hopefully I can get some late night exercise in as well :blushing: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: HAaaaa ahaaaaaaa!!!!
Im funny!
P.S.
GOT MY SQUAT ON AS WELL!!!!!

azwildcatfan94

I did 30 minutes on the eliptical in the gym. I just couldn't get into it. I jamed on it Saturday. But, at least I did something. Still need to get my squats in. But, will do so now.

missheidi

hey everyone. kristian's bday went well, adn i started classes today, 9 hours. it's all online, so there are discussion questions and lots of papers and stuff. i've done 30 min on the wii active and i'[m trying to convince myself to do another 30.

jacque509

Hey all got my exercise goal in today and did my squats/ Did 32. My knee is still not happy about it but we did it

porka29

hi team!!! I oly did mall walking yesterday, but better than nothin. We've been on drought for so long but I am so sick of rain!!!! jac-be carefu; on that knee.

kitn621

Hi team...

sorry its been so long since I have gotten on. Yesterday here at work was sooo crazy never could get in the computer and once at home couldnt find the time or energy to sit down and do it.
This weekend went okay for me except that I didnt do that great on food. Went to the olive garden to reunite with friends from HS and ate LOTS of salad and bread and then had dessert. It was yummy though and didnt care. (my fav restaurant)
Then went to a wedding that night and it had a chocolate fountain that I loved! oopps...but sunday I worked in our garden for almost 2 hrs and burned almost 500 calories...WOW then went to the gym yesterday. i have runners knee so any stress on my left knee is hard so did just 10 mins of cardio on the treadmill and had to stop so did the leg press machine without overdoing weights and ab workouts on the ball then did the glute machine to work my *kitten* and did the circuit training machines....45 seconds on each machine with a total of 10 machines. I worked out for about 45 mins. Not bad....just wasnt feeling it yesterday but I got it in.
Lots to do this week...step daughter graduating Friday and having her a party saturday.
Wow.....lots of shopping and cleaning at the house. Should be able to count alot of that for exercise, huh.
Well I will check in again this week....hope to do better with food as i have not done so well but will get better. It will take me awhile to be able to adjust to the right way to eat and live as I have developed the bad habits over MANY MANY years and nothing can change over night. Good luck with everyone else!!

jacque509

Good morning all,
Hope everyone is feeling good. Well just like to say I am doing ok for the moment and hope to eat a little better today. I have been staying within and sometimes less then ccalories range but notice that I been to high in protein and fat. So got to figure away to reduces those. Any ideas?

porka29

Jacque - with all the cardio and exercise you've bee doing, I can't see how the protein could be anything but good. Also fact is that we need fat too.................just not on the thighs:laugh: :laugh: j/k had to write that after I re-read what I wrote, boy who can't practice what they preach - me:bigsmile: You are doing great and a big inspiration to me,

jacque509

Thanks Porka, These free lunches are gonna kill me. If I wasn't so broke I bring my lunch. So today I ate only i faijita, and less rice, and chips. But Im still gonna have to work out big time for that. Why can't anybody bring salad. Oh well free is free

jacque509

Hey everyone!!! Wake up!!!:laugh: Come by and say HI!!! I know it crazy with graduation and school almost out. But part of the problem is not taking care of ourselves, it ok to be selfish for and hour or two. Remember if you don't take care of yourself you go back to horrible comfortable bad habits!!!:grumble:
So let take time to help ourseleves

porka29

I'm here...................!!!!! Watching Grease

---

yeah I know, dude - who knew I could sing almost all the songs :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I agree that posting here keeps me from or sometimes :blushing: not overindulging.

What b green team? Que pasa?

missheidi

I'm a leetle over on my cals, so i'm going to do my wii active when munchkin goes to sleep. i was going to take an extra day off, but apparently not. i'll rest on sunday when it's my BIRTHDAY.

jacque509

I love Grease!!! I own the DVD and tape. My kids love it to. Even with the workout I am 36 calories over, so going to go swiming. see ya later

angiemcnett

I hope you had a great swim jacque.
missheidi great job doing your wii active today instead of taking the day off.
porka, I also love the move Grease but it probably a good thing I am not watching it. I would have to have popcorn with the movie.
I think I might have over done it today with my exercise today. I am a bit sore. I guess that what I get for doing very little exercise for the last 2 weeks but I am going to get back into my routine.

jacque509

aahhh feel so much better, the swim relaxed me alot. Ready for bed
missheidi- hope you have a great b-day, hope you treat yourself,have a little fun. If I lived close by I babysit so u could go out.
amm- becareful not to over do it. I started to do that today with the weight and had to stop
See ya all tomorrow
