BLACK TEAM!!

Marla64

I can't believe I forgot this last night. I bought a size 8 shorts when I was shopping! Half the size I used to wear. I also had on a size 6 and had it buttoned and zipped but it was still a little too tight for comfort. Someday maybe.

Here's my latest observation/discovery. Ok, I knew this, but maybe didn't realize it was this significant. I walk the same 3 miles every day in my development. Some days I haul *kitten*, some days I keep an ok pace but not necessarily pushing myself the hardest the entire time. I wear a HRM so these numbers aren't made up.

Yesterday I walked it in about 50 minutes, burned 210 calories. Today hubs and I pushed it hard, walked it in 45 minutes and I burned 350. That is a big difference! Not only did I finish 5 minutes faster, I burned an extra 140 calories.

Incentive to haul *kitten*....... (sorry for all the *kitten* talk Marla).

Eh-- it happens--

Good Morning ya'll

The scale was kind to me this morning even since I only did 500 caloires burned yesterday, maybe I am pushing my body to much, because I only eat between 1200-1300 calories no matter if I burn 500 or 800 calories I am gonna burn 500 again today and then tomorrow go to the gym and then burn 800 change it up a bit.

I am fixin to go walking as soon as the baby gets here.

Andrew your ticker is gonna pass me soon.

Tamara, if I only ate 1200 calories and burned 800 I would fall over! Make sure you are taking good care of yourself. Your dedication to it is awesome, but I gotta say, reading your posts makes me tired and now hungry.... :laugh:

I'm guilty Lori!!!

I did not send Sam my 3.5 weight gain :grumble: So I'm part of the problem of why Sam's stats look so dwindled!

Oh wait...does that mean I'm no longer on the team? :sad:

Welcome Jeannie!

Ok so here is why I am in a good mood.

I lost a pound or so but better than that I lost 4% body fat!!

The trainer measured me today and the most fat was lost in my middle.........where I wanted it gone gone gone!!

So I tried on those jeans with the muffin top...........not so bad, kinda a mini muffin now:laugh:

I reminded her if I lost 5 pounds and fit those jeans, I promised her $200 bonus.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.............she worked my booty off, gave me a 2 week workout guide to follow and told me no carbs after 4 pm!!

So I had some meat for dinner ...................ok I had spinach and carrots too........but I love my potato or bread

We shall see. I feel like I accomplished sometime.

Oh and I jumped the other day!! I mean jumped UP to touch the overhang on something. :noway: my friend said why did you do that??

Because I can!!:drinker: :drinker:

have a great night my team mates!! I just wubs you all~~

OH! And in the midst of my b!tch fest with Ms. Snooty Pants Nutritionist Who I Would Never Pay To See...I forgot to tell you all that her body composition scale put me at 28.7% body fat, which is down from 37.2% where I started at my gym in April 2008. Not bad for seriously inconsistent weight training.

Great job on the body fat % for you too! While weight training is good and I do it religiously, it's the cardio that is going to burn fat. You do tons of that girl, THAT is why your body fat percent is dropping!

Hey all. I've been reading Tom Venuto's ebook and really like not only what he has to say, but how he says it. He's easy to understand and doesn't use big hard words. :laugh:

There is a 12 part mini lesson thing he does which addresses all the 'lies' as he calls them coming from the multi billion dollar diet and fitness industry.

I'll include the links below. A lot of it is useful, even if you are not body building and trying to get huge- which I'm not- but it's good sound advice.

Happy reading. (If you just go to the last one all the links for the first 11 are at the bottom and you can just click instead of copying and pasting for each of these.)

Two Jeannies? Double the pleasure-- double the fun!

Woo hooooo-- welcome, Jeannie2!

Way to go Jeannie, on the pound and all the good shtuff --

Heading to turbo jam-- beautiful rain outside tonight, but my foot is really hurting from the arthritis, and I'm just feeling like staying dry and keeping my poor piggies out of the water--

Later, my wonderful team--

to you all!

Welcome Jeannie2!

Congrats Jeannie1!


Dave put a new tire on our jogging stroller (it went flat about 2 weeks ago) so Harley and I finally got to do our walk. Our roads were just resurfaced so it was a much smoother ride too.

I've been really slacking on the excercise because I don't like working out inside. (Already not looking forward to winter.) When I slack on the eating or working out, I tend to not post much because I feel guilty. Dave and I have both just lost all motivation lately. After several weeks of not doing well, we're still only up a couple pounds each. I said we almost need to gain 10 pounds to kick our butts in gear. I gotta get back to it though because those few pounds are making me have to suck in to button my jeans in the mornings.
