good mornink! Hope everyone is doing good today and making wise choices.

When I got home from work last night, it was waaaaay too hot and steamy to go to the gym (I'm in Miami). Instead, I put on a movie I had Tivo-ed and started bouncing in the trampoline - before I knew it, I'd done 45 minutes! woohoo! :drinker: aaaand, I drank all my water yesterday.

That sounds fun - how many calories is that??

I too had a great day yesterday. Ate within my limits and exercised, walk/edjogged, for almost 2 hours. I felt great.

I am planning on have another great day today. Ate breakfast, packed lunch, just need to work on dinner, the most challenging meal for me.

My kids, 4 of them, are in a parade tonight, so I'm hoping to steal at least 30 minutes tonight to go for a jog. Busy busy.

Have a great day everyone.

PS... still on T.O.M. but decided to weigh in this morning... water weight down 1.4 pounds from yesterday. (gain 4 pounds on TOM) TMI... sorry but just had to share.

It was actually not that bad... my husband gets mad at me all the time. He thinks I'm obsessed... but you know, once I start exercising, I hate to stop.... I just want to keep going and going. I have to force myself to stop otherwise he gets very mad at me. My problem is, I just have to get my butt up and start.

Ok, i posted this in yesterdays thread.. so here is what I meant to post here!

Good Wednesday morning to you all!!

Ok, so the delio is that yesterday, I went to the gym after work, rode the bike for 40 minutes, then spend 20 mins on the free weight area, working triceps. Ran home, prepped a salad and stored it for later, jumped in my car and raced back to work where I met up with a coworker (doctor) who is doing track workouts with a whole buch of teenagers who are overweight. We split up into teams which lined up in a row, started walking and passing a beach ball overhead. when the last one got the ball, he/she had to speed walk to the front of the line and start over. We had most of the kids (and many of their parents) stick with it for a full mile (this is a great accomplishment for many of these kids!). I jogged around the track an extra half mile, handing out water. Yay cardio Tuesdays!

This morning (3am), I got up and walked my dog for 2 miles. No jogging, which is a goal... my hips were feeling wobly this morning after the biking and jogging yesterday~ I will hit the gym after work again for 45 mins of cardio and 20 mins of weights (hamstrings).

Good luck in your goals today!

Didn't do to well yesterday.
I went over on my calories and didn't exercise. I only went over on calories because I ate BEFORE I realized that I wasn't going to work out, so I was eating my exercise calories that I didn't even earn. OOOPS! I was just sooooooooooo exhausted yesterday for some reason. I was starting my workout when my husband came home and I told him I just didn't feel like working out and he said "So don't" and well I didn't. Now I feel awful about it!!! I will work out extra hard tonight. I feel much better and somewhat energized today.

Stay healthy everyone!!

Good Morning!! :flowerforyou:

Didn't get my walking in this morning.......but I think I walked at least 4 miles
at the traffic collision scene last nite!! Tired today....at least I didn't go out
with the guys to Denny's at 2am and fill up with carbs/fat!

Did good yesterday, stuck with what I packed. Today may be difficult, I'm tired
and will probably want some carbs this afternoon.

Chrissy...great gob on finishing couch to 5k!!

Have a wonderful day!

Hi there Guys

OK so this is my first post

So far I have lost 15lbs I was doing really well and last week I went up 0.8lbs ... I was so pissed off that the last few days I went completely off the rails :grumble: I'm hoping that by Fri I will have either stayed the same or lost but I am doubtful :noway:

I woke up this morning and did a 30 min workout on the treadmill so I am trying to stay positve and I plan to get in the 30 day Shred later tonight and if the weather stays dry will also get my girls out for a nice long walk ... They are my motivation for my walking

I am trying to drink water but usually only get in about 2/3 glasses in a day which needs to be improved on :blushing:

Lastly I have a quick question ... How soon after you eat do you workout or do you eat afterwards?

FINALLY4ME

okay so yesterday was a bust:grumble: ....started out good:happy: ...ended badly:devil:

I blame stress.....my uncle passed away over the weekend and the wake etc...dealing w/ an irate hubby over other things.....work its super busy fiscal year end...and probably the worst of it is my son who is on the autism spectrum starts a new school tomorrow and I have been having nightmares about it for weeks.....:sad: I know it will all work out....but man I let myself get all worked up and I am NOT one of those lucky people who DONT eat when they are stressed....I do the opposite and choose unwisely......:ohwell:

but today is another day....at the funeral get together I ate sensibly and NO desserts! yay me!:drinker:

I did lots of walking because I took the train in....40 mins so far today....and took lots of stairs.....two trainstations and at work 6 flights.....so that's something right....now for the water part...time to fill up and take deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep breaths....serenity now!:flowerforyou: :bigsmile:

proud of all of you.....one bad day does not a total wash make!:drinker:

I think you're doing great....don't worry if you have a few hiccups on the way....I sure did yesterday....so here's to better days....

as for the when do I eat .....if its first thing in the am run, (my fav) I eat after my run....I usually have to have my coffee to wake up, I do and then wait a bit...sip some water....and then go running....come home and eat ...but if its during the day or later....I usually eat a little something like protien or nuts and then workout and then will eat after if I'm hungry....I find for me that working out on a full or semi full belly makes me sluggish so I try not to.....good luck!:flowerforyou:
