and strength training

My running partner ignored all my text and when I saw her she didnt say a word. I didnt know what to say! I dont want to anoy her by asking to much if we are gonna do this thing but I would really like to do it. Maybe I will have to face my fear of looking stupid when I run and just do it by myself!!!!!!:frown:
Ohh and I told you all I gained up to 175 well I lost 1 pound so i'm working my way back down!!!

Hey, Hey, TEAM FIT!!! TGIF!!! :laugh:

lmr - GOOOO GIRL!!! Congratulations on being 1 pound away from your November 20th goal!!! :flowerforyou: :happy: :glasses: :laugh:

My weigh in will be tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes for me this week. I am hoping for atleast 1 lb; any more than that would be very cool!

Ariel - You are working very hard and I know you are going to see a big pay-off this week!

I will send out the new weekly sheet by Sunday. If you want the spreadsheet and haven't already sent me your email address, please send it to me at goins25@gmail.com

Stay strong through the weekend, everyone!

Thur- 9 glasses of water and 65 minutes of cardio
Frid-8 glasses of water and 60 minutes of cardio:drinker:

I bought wrist/ankle weights today. They work great! When I danced my arms actually were getting tired today (unlike normal).:flowerforyou:
I didn't know if you noticed but i did lose a pound i am back to 174

lmr9

Thanks everybody! :flowerforyou: Today my husband noticed my weight loss for the first time - that felt great! :blushing:

Friday - not a great day - 0 exercise - 6 cups of water. I went way over on calories...not sure how much I went over, but I totally splurged on a margarita, chips and salsa, puffy taco, cheese enchilada, rice, and beans. YIKES! But it tasted oh so good. You know, as I was eating it, I noticed that I really savored it much more than before...I knew I couldn't eat that very often, so I enjoyed every bite. But back to the straight and narrow today!

My last post said "Friday total" but it should be Wednesday's total.

Thursday: 4 glasses of water, 45 mins cardio
Friday: 4 glasses of water, no exercise (so I didn't weigh in)
Saturday: 2 glasses of water, 45 mins cardio, lost 3 pounds!! Probably because I was sick last week, so I don't expect those 3 pounds to stay off. :grumble:

happy Monday morning team!!!:flowerforyou:
I almost feel revived from losing weight last week. My sister was just asking me yesterday how I am doing this. She was saying its so hard for her to eat right and exercise daily and she said she didnt understand how i was able to do it. and I told her its because when I get ont he scale and I see the numbers come down. that seriously is the only way i am able to do this. lol. seeing that what your doing really makes a difference is the best motivation i can get. (not that you all aren't wonderful, because you really are, but i know you all know what i''m talking about).:laugh: So today is a new day and i'm making sure i'm getting at least 1500 calories a day now. i'm almost positive thats why i lost weight this last week. thanks sooo much Kim for making me realize what i was doing wrong. So today I'm going to exercise for 70 mins and drink my 8 glasses of water. Good luck today everyone and keep up the excelent work! i cant believe its Nov. 16th already! We're half way through the month!!:drinker: :bigsmile: :glasses: :happy: :flowerforyou:

Ariel - congrats on your weight loss.

lmr9 - way to go on your weightloss

amm - love your new pic

sorry I was MIA for a few days. I have some changes going on at work and I have been a little out of sorts. probably why I splurged on Friday with 2 cosmos, held it together on saturday and then made a homeade apple tart on sunday and ate half of it - it was really yummy So I had a gain of a pound. But I need the release. I think I gained because I did not exercise but no excuses. I started Turbo Jam today so hopefully we will see some results (even though I was totally confused on half of my workout this morning).

So these are my totals
Friday 30 min workout, 12 glasses water
Sat - 0 workout, 10 glasses water
Sun - 0 workout, 8 glasses water
Mon - 20 min workout so far

Hope everyone had a good weekend and keep up the great results.

Oh Karen my email is kimberlymholmes@hotmail.com

Sunday - 10 cups of water - 60 minutes of exercise.

Hi TEAM!
WOW!!! I cannot believe the numbers here!
amm - Down 3 lbs - that's fantastict!!!
lmr - Down 2 lbs - great job!!!
Ariel - DOWN 4 LBS... - HUGE!!!
You should all be very proud of yourselves for the accomplishments!!! Way to go!

Kimberly, Sress is so hard to deal with, especially while trying to lose weight. You are doing a great job - keep it up, stay strong! You can do this!

I did great this weekend with water, exercised 20 minutes each day, but no loss. I gained 1lb, but I'm okay, since my jeans are not as snug. Goals for this week - stay strong, get to the gym EVERY DAY!!! Keep drinking the water.

Everyone have a GREAT DAY!
- Karen

amm - I'm like Kimberly - I love the new pic! You and hubby look great together!

Why isn't it Saturday yet!? It's going to be the best day ever and I am sooo anxious for it to come! Go ahead a call me a dork but here is what i have planned that day with my sister and our friend Jocelyn (they're my best friends(: )
1st: wake up at 9 and watch the movie Twilight
2nd: go to the theaters and watch New Moon
3rd: go have a late lunch
4th: go get ready for the evening
5th: going to see Phantom of the Opera (its our most favorite play ever! I saw it on Broadway in NYC and ever since I've been obsessed!!(: )
6th: drinks afterwards!!!

So I'm going to exercise extra hard this week, or at least try to and I'm going to weight in on Saturday morning and not Sunday since I will be drinking that night. I dont drink ever but i have to that night. Oh i just want the week to be over!!:glasses: :laugh: :bigsmile:

But on to yesterday..... 60 mins of exercise and 8 glasses of water I forgot to go on my first break at work so I didnt get to walk for 20 mins yesterday.
Today: 70 of exercise and 8 glasses of water. But I'm going to try to get in another 20 mins of exercise somehow. lol.:drinker: :glasses:

have a wonderful Tuesday everyone!! Keep up your fantastic work! You all should be very proud of yourselves!!:flowerforyou: :glasses:

Ariel - I am excited for your Saturday too. That sounds like a blast of great girl time.

I can't wait for Saturday to get here too. Because my last day at this job in Friday which means Saturday I will be employed by a new department (still on campus). I am pumped.

amm - the best way I have found to drink water is to always have a glass with you. I have one of those 32 ounce jugs that I keep next to my computer so that throughout the day I have to reach by it and I remember to drink. If I don't have that with me (like on the weekends) I don't drink as much. Just a tip.

Still so proud of everyone's weightloss. Karen I am hanging in there with yah. We are going to have a great week - right

Monday - 15 glasses water, 40 min workout
Tuesday - 40 min workout so far

I feel great about today. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Oh - Ariel - how is your new DVD going?

Good Morning TEAM!
It's another beautiful day in Hou-TX!!! Sunshine and in the 50's...high in 60's... love it!!! :bigsmile:

I have been reading all the posts and we have a GREAT GROUP OF PEOPLE on this team!!! Everyone is really doing a fantastic job at staying strong and motivating others along the way. We have all had little bumps in the road, but I really think giving each other tips and keeping each other motivated is really paying off! :happy: :happy: :happy: THANKS, EVERYONE!

Ariel - girl...you are so crazy in a great way! I sense your excitement - you haven't come down out of the clouds from your loss and that's awesome! That will keep you going! The plans this weekend sound great - enjoy girlfriends time! You deserve it!

amm - I used to hate water. I was a big soda & tea drinker. I just had to make myself drink it and after about a week of drinking H20 instead of soda or tea, I was hooked. Now I can't go without it. I am like Kimberly, though. If I don't have my water bottle handy on weekends, I forget to drink, so keep your cup/jug handy! :happy:

Kim - I know you will be relieved to go to the new job! Hang in - you only have a couple more days to go! Yes, we ARE going to have a great week!

lmr - you are so steady with your water and exercise! I just know you will make your goal by Friday!!! :flowerforyou:

jo - Congrats on staying with it! You can do this!!! Keep on dancin and drinking the water! :drinker:

Mon - 60 min exercise, 8 water

Thanks for the encouragement. I am envious of your weather. I wish I was in Houston. This morning in Las Vegas it was 42 and yesterday it was 38. It is not suppose to be this cold yet.

I just got back from lunch and it's just 70 degrees outside! I didn't want to go back inside!!! :laugh:
Brrrrr...38??? That's a little too cold for me - unless it's Christmas and I can stay inside beside a nice cozy fire. LOL.
