    Kristin, have fun in Canada, eh? :smile:

    Rhiannon, you may not see this but doesn't matter -- HI :glasses: Hope you are having fun running with your mom. I have had a terrible lingering head/chest cold. I can't breath right in order to run so I'll have to start back at square one once this passes.

    Tamm, TOM stinks when weighing. Let it pass, then weigh. You'll be great! :wink:



    I weighed in today at 165lbs. Phew! Seeing results, even if skewed, encourages me.

    I'm debating spin class tonight. This lingering head cold is thwarting proper breathing for exercise. Might give it a try anyhow. :smile:

    Happy Thursday!!

    Ok.... so down from the water weight on Tuesday, but up from the weigh in yesterday... lol... I just can't seem to win! I'm using my weigh in weight from yesterday, since we ate out last night, and had who knows how much sodium, plus what was in my amarretto diet cokes... lol Dinner was yummy, although I tried to limit what I was eating somewhat. We had cheese stuffed, breaded, deep fried mushrooms as an appetizer, and I only ate one. They were good, but not good enough for me to keep eating them. Then, tomato basil soup that was delish, along with a piece of soda bread. That soda bread was perfect, but I still only ate half my piece, and gave the other half to DH. My main was a bit harder to pick, as I didn't want skanky breath later in the night (seeing as how there was extra smooching going on because of anniv....) So no bangers and camp, and no corned beef and cabbage. I stuck it safe with a shepherds pie. The potatoes were soooo creamy. But the ground beef seemed a little greasy. I only ate a quarter of it, and brought the rest home. No dessert, since I had made a strawberry-rhubarb pie that afternoon. We went to the bar and enjoyed the music, then got home about 1. Even though we had the fresh pie, we ended up not having any, and just went to bed. After "just going to bed" (hee hee hee) I did want pie, but was actually too tired and lazy to get out of bed to get it, and couldn't talk DH into bringing me some in bed. So... good night all!

    Robin, I'm always thankful when my want for food is overridden by my desire to stay in bed :laugh:


    After a late breakfast at 11am, I'm just now hungry for lunch. Gotta figure out what to grab. Might do another sandwich. Quick and low cal-ish.

    Posting here to keep reminding myself to EAT RIGHT. WATCH MY CALORIES. BE ACCOUNTABLE. I have work pants to fit in next Wednesday!!! (And since that will be day-before TOM, I will be bloated and NEED that extra space desperately!!! :laugh: )

    xo ladies!!

    Kristin- Have fun in Canada... it would be nice if you bumped into Rhiannon. :)

    Rhiannon- I'm glad to see you are still running. I may be planning to do a 1/2 marathon in Nov. It would be my 3rd race this year. Glad you are doing well.

    Lauryn- Thanks!!! I must have your same head cold. I can't win for losing with this thing but I'm mouth breathing right through my personal training. If its too much I will stop but other than that I have GOALS to obtain. I'm glad your workouts/eating are working. I know you can do it! BEST of LUCK

    Cathy- How are you doing??? I haven't seen you around? But I was missing myself. Take care

    Robin- All of that food sounded wonderful. I think you did a good job with your portion control. Congrats. Focus on the positives.

    To everyone else.... I hope your fitness and weight removal journeys are going well. I've decided everyday I will write down things I did to better my health and weight and etc. For example 1. I skipped a lovely donut at work this morning. I deserve a smile or two for that... I LOVE KRISPY KREME. LOL, but you see what I'm saying. I will focus on the positive not the negative. Lauryn taught me that once before. :flowerforyou: Well I'm off to get dressed for personal training. :flowerforyou:

    TAke care,

    TAmm:love:

    Lauryn, thanks & HI! I'm glad you're seeing some progress :bigsmile:

    Robin, sounds like a nice anniversary!

    Tamm, that's great that you're planning to do a half in November! I'm very excited for mine!! And yep, still running like a fiend :tongue: These days I'm usually running 25 to 30km a week but that's on its way up. Personal trailing still feeling great??

    I'm looking forward to getting to bed at a decent time and getting a nice long run in tomorrow morning with two friends. I've been so wiped out lately... I can't run like I do AND not sleep enough or take care to get enough recovery nutrients into me!!

    G'night all! :flowerforyou:

    Tamm, skipping on a Krispy Kreme is a BIG deal and deserves a huge pat on the back!! Good for you!

    Rhiannon, I am continually impressed with your perserverance with running. You are amazing!!!

    Good morning ladies! We had that strawberry-rhubarb pie last night. Oh My Goodness! It was to die for! I seriously wanted to have a second piece. So did DH, but I talked him out of it by reminding him we only had about 6 weeks until the cruise. He told me I was playing low blows, but I have no idea what he meant by that (hee hee hee). Luckily, all the kids liked the pie too, so there is only the two pieces left... Yummmmmm I finished week one (again) on C25K today. I was googling podcasts and found some more perky ones than Robert Ullrey's. I took 3 minutes off my time today, and I really think it was because of the different music. Anyone who's doing it, I can share the links, if you want them. Or you can look for them on the http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/59810-anyone-starting-couch-to-5k thread.

    Rhiannon, you might be past these distances, but I found a site, Podrunner, that has podcasts to help with different runs. It's very much techno music, but the sampling I listened to for C25K sounded pretty good. They also have them for 8K and 10K. They also have other mixes on their main webpage. Right now I'm playing their GrooveElectric mix. It's over an hour of mixed funk.

    Tamm, I've never had a Krispy Kreme. But, I do know donut desire! lol Good job ignoring it.

    Lauryn, you're always so motivating to all of us, turn that motivation towards yourself! You know you can do it, and I'm glad the scale showed some improvement this week.

    Magglett- you can definitely make healthy choices!!! Good luck. Sometimes I do an extra great job through the week so I can eat some unhealthy things one day of the weekend.

    Rhiannon- I hope your race goes well. Training is wonderful. I've lost 7 inches of my waist and inches other places as well. I'm excited and glad I made myself use the training opportunity. I've been getting lots of compliments.

    Lauryn- How was your eating the rest of the week?

    Robin- I hope you are having a restful weekend. Take care girlie!!!

    Love ya,

    Tamm:drinker:

    Great Morning All!!

    I just weighed myself and have already reached my six week goal of 240lbs! Originally my goal was 244 but I dropped a bit of water weight at the beggining and lowered my goal to 240. My next goal is to be 235 by my birthday on Aug 20th!

    Woot! *does happy dance*

    Thank you all for being such an inspiration and for being motivating. I couldn't have done this without you.

    Take care,
    Tammy

    Cathy, Happy Birthday to you today! Mine is next week and the only thing good about getting older for runners is new age groups except mine doesn't put me in one this year!

    Tammy, How wonderful that you met your goal already! keep up the good work...you are an ispiration to us all!

    Robin, you mentioned Podrunner in a prior post. That's one my sister told me about and I use it on occasion just since I get tired of hearing my same old music all the time. I can usually really get into a beat with it.

    I keep losing and gaining about the same 2-3 lbs all the time. I am up one day, down the next, etc but seem to still be 'stuck'. I"m running lots just like a few others on this group and did a great 10 miler this morning but I know that lots of exercise means you also have to keep refueled to keep going. Its a tough balance. Being within 5 lbs of goal I"m not quite ready to starve myself to get there and am working to maintain and hoping that slowly...gradually...I'll make it. Was hoping this 6 weeks would be it but not sure that's gonna happen!

    Its a nice cool day in Indianapolis today. Hope everyone else is enjoying their Sunday!

    Popping in to say hi. No time to read updates right now. Will read and do personals later.

    Ooooh, Lauryn, sounds like you have a fun day planned!

    Martha, right now I'm using Suz's podcast for C25K. Although I did like the sample from podrunner. I just like words more, lol... I understand about gaining and losing the same pounds over and over, I've been hovering at this same weight since January. Admittedly, I haven't been 100% committed that whole time, I'd probably have lost more if I'd been more so.

    Rhiannon, hope your race went well... That was this weekend, wasn't it?

    Hope Kristin is having a good vacation.

    Hellos to Tamm, Tammy, Tiff, AmyLou, and all the others I've missed...

    Got up this morning and did the week 2 day 1 of C25K. It went well. Getting ready to do one of my yoga videos, I noticed my knees were tight this morning, so I know I need to start stretching better. I've read that you burn up to 3 times more fat if you exercise first thing in the morning, before you eat. What do you all think about that. About the only thing I notice is that I'm a bit slower. When I go for C25K in the afternoon, I am about 3 minutes faster than when I go on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. Anyways, off to do my yoga, then shower. Or maybe yoga, then eat, then shower. Hmmmmm, have a good day everyone!
