    good morning team!!:smile:

    hope you are all well and not getting sick!!:flowerforyou:

    Yesterday: 70 mins exercise and 9 glasses of water
    today: 70 mins exercise and 8 glasses of water.

    I really want to try to get in another 30 mins of exercise for the next couple days but I get so burned out on exercising! lol. i walk for 20 mins at work and then when i get home i do the 30 day shred twice. its great and I love it and if i dont do it i feel bad for not doing it. But i cant find motivation to do something else. But i think i'm just going to have to say to myself "get up and do it because you are going to be having drinks saturday and you need to lose at least another pound or two this week!!!!!" :cry:

    Oh man! lol. I have to do it! Maybe I'll go use the elliptical for a little while. I have to go to the mailbox anyways today and its right by it. Help me get motivated people! hehe:glasses: :bigsmile:

    Have a great Wednesday!! Half way through the week now!! :drinker: :glasses: :flowerforyou: :smile: :bigsmile: :tongue:

    aabelein - just do it. Do they have a tv in the room. You can workout and watch your favorite show at the same time.

    lmr - you are doing great. don't stop now. You are over your half way point and you got that by being consistent. Slow and steady wins the race.

    Down Sizin - yes burrrr is right. I am going to Louisiana for Christmas so I am waiting for the hot and muggy December days and getting my cozy winters on the weekends.

    Tuesday - 60 min workout and 14 glasses water
    Wednesday - 40 min workout

    Hump day:happy: Hang in there everyone.
  • Happy Wednesday, TEAM!

    Ariel - Even 15 minutes of Elliptical a day will help. Just do it. You'll be glad you did! :wink:
    lmr - I agree with Kimberly. Don't stop now - you are so close! Dig in and keep it up - you're doing
    GREAT!!! You'll be glad you did AND you are motivating us, too! :happy:
    Kimberly - I hear ya about the hot and muggy LA weather...I'm going there next week for T.G. and I'm
    hoping the weather is cool. :smile:

    Tues: 60 min, 8 water, alot better at eating my cals (+ exercise ones) :tongue:

    I think I'm finally past the "you can't eat 1200+ cals daily and lose weight" mentality. It's a metabolism thing along with eating the right cals! I'm feeling GREAT and hopefully, I'll see some good results on weigh day.
    Everyone have a great Wednesday! :bigsmile:

    at least you guys have winter! lol. here in Arizona its just kinda cold. during the days its anywhere from 70-80 and at night and in the mornings its like 50-60. we dont even have seasons here. lol we have extremly hot and then kinda cold. lol. our leaves on our trees dont even turn red or orange. its green all year long. i hate it. well i dont think i would do well in snow, but i would like to have some seasons. oh and also, some times we get warm streaks. last week it was 90+ during the day. Whats with that!? lol:tongue::laugh: Arizona is a strange state. lol.

    I think that I would die in 90+ weather. I can't live without my fall and winter. I love the way the leaves turn colors and I love the 40's weather and christmas isn't christmas without snow!!!!
    TUESDAY- 60+ minutes of dancing and like 6 glasses of water:noway:
    Yeah I didn't do to good with the water!

    Tuesday: 4 glasses of water, 45 mins cardio
    Wednesday: 4 glasses of water, 50 mins cardio
    Thursday: I plan to do a yoga DVD with a friend, but it's hard to know how many calories burned. I don't plan to go to the gym.

    lmr9 - I went over my calories today too... it's amazing how easy that is to do.

    My 2 cents on the weather discussion - I'm originally from South Dakota, where it snows like October through April and can get to 50 degrees BELOW zero with windchill. Now I live in southern California where people think 2 inches of snow is the apocalypse... things in South Dakota don't even begin to shut down until there's at least a foot of snow. Living here is kinda funny. I don't really like snow, mostly because I'm used to it in inconvenient amounts for ridiculously long periods of time, but I do like a LITTLE bit of snow for Christmas. A couple inches at most. Too bad I don't run the weather. :tongue:

    good morning team!:tongue:

    i was bad yesterday and I didnt exercise for a 2nd time in the evening so it made me go over my carbs!! :sad: I'm a little pissed at myself, but there will be days where i just feel too tired and wont want to do it, so i'm trying not to be too upset. I think its because i moved on to level 2 of the 30 day shred again and i forgot how tough it is compared to level 1. but i have to do it twice today. to make up for yesterday.

    But I'm going to the mall later to buy some new foundation and mascara and a new compact. :smile: I like buying new make up. lol. And also my sister and I are going to buy a nice top to wear on Saturday when we go see Phantom!!!! I think I want a purple top. I like purple.:laugh:

    And I love fall colors too, especially on trees, and I would love to play in some snow or have a white Christmas, but it would be too cold for me. I'm born and raised here in AZ, so I'm a wuss when it comes to cold.:laugh: But if I go two hours North, then I'm in snow. but the trees dont really change too much up there either..... :ohwell:

    Hope you all have a fantastic Thursday! Its almost Friday!!! Hang in there!! :flowerforyou: :glasses: :bigsmile:

    Wednesday - 40 min workout, 12 glasses water
    Thursday - 40 min workout

    Well I was born and raised in Louisiana were it rarely snows and is hot a humid. So needless to say we don't have seasons and Christmas is in the 90s. I lived in Texas for 2 years and the weather is better but still not a lot of snow and no season changes with the leaves. Now I am in Nevada and once again it is typically hot. But we had a cold front and with the wind it always feels colder than it is. We did have snow last December but that was a rare occasion too. I did go up to Utah before Halloween and they had snow up there. I like the idea of snow but I could never live with it all the time. I like my southern ways. I would love to see a true fall changing of the leaves on the east coast. One day I am going to make it there.

    Weigh in results: gained 1 pound.

    Oh well. Not too bad considering I only worked out 3 times this week and went over my calories by quite a bit on 2 days. But, on the bright side, I did lose 1/2 inch on my waist and 1 inch on my thighs! All-in-all I feel great about my progress. I've lost 3 pounds this month (in 3 weeks).

    Well ladies, I might not be on here much over the next week. My hubby and I are leaving town today for a little vaca and then I'll be at my brother's house for Thanksgiving and then my sister-in-law's house for another Thanksgiving. I'm on a mission to NOT GAIN WEIGHT over this break.

    If I don't speak to you all before then - HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! I'm thankful to have this group of wonderful people who motivate each other and support each other to make their lives better!! Everyone should be very proud of themselves!! :flowerforyou: :heart: :smile:

    hi all!:glasses:
    yesterday: 70 mins of exercise and 8 glases of water
    today: 70 mins of exercise and 8 glasses of water

    I'm soo happy it's Friday! Tomorrow is my big day!! And last night I went to the mall to find a nice shirt to wear to the Phantom and I was sooo thrilled!!! I was able to fit into a medium size shirt!!!!! :smile: :bigsmile: :heart: :flowerforyou: The last time I went to Dillards and tried on clothes I couldn't even wear an x-large!! The larges fit the best, but its because I have big breats. lol. but they too have gotten smaller, I know it! I was a 40 DD and I'm probably a 36-38 D now, so I'm happy! It was such a great feeling to know that i can shop at regular stores now and not just plus size!!! It's fantastic! I didnt find a shirt though.... I have my heart set on a dark purple shirt, but I didnt find what I was looking for. So I'm going to Ross tomorrow after we have lunch and all 3 of us are going to pick out an outfit for the show :tongue: I'm sooo excited!! Thanks for all of your support and your words of encourgament! I dont know how I could have done it with out all of your support. You guys are great!:drinker: :flowerforyou: :bigsmile: :glasses: :tongue: :smile:

    Morning ladies

    Thursday - 14 glasses water, 60 min workout
    Friday - 40 min workout

    Karen - glad you are feeling well enough to be at work. Hope you get back to normal soon
    Joliemm - dance is great exercise so keep it up if that is what you enjoy.
    lmr9 - we will miss you for the next few weeks but we will see you back in december. hope you have a wonderful vacation and a nice thanksgiving.
    ariel - can't wait to hear all about your girls saturday. See you did lose a size (tops count too). Your hard work is paying off. Hope you find the perfect top for Phantom. My husband took me to see Phantom for my birthday here in vegas. We sat directly under the chandelier. I was actually direcly under the ring so I would not have died but my husband would have been crushed. it was great.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. This is my last day at this job so I am patiently waiting until 5:00. Then I have a crazy buzy weekend.

    Hi team!:glasses:
    So Phantom was last night and I had a fantastic time! I cant say it was the best one i've seen because i dont think i can top seeing it on Broadway in NYC, but it was def. my 2nd fav!! The guy who played the phantom was AMAZING!!! I cried my eyes out when I saw it for the first time in New York, and I dont mean like just streaks of tears, I mean straight sobbing! lol. The 2nd time I saw it was in 2005 and I cried too but only a tiny bit. But last night I was almost sobbing again! The guy who was the Phantom was so sincere at the end when Christine leaves with Raoul, he was like crying so hard and it was so heart wrenching!! But I started crying right before that, when Christine say's to him "pittiful creature of darkness, what kind of life have you known? God give me the courage to show you, you are not alone!" And then she kisses him, thats usually always where i start crying. And sure enough! lol. But i was getting goosebumps litterally almost the whole time! I love it! I am so sad that its over and that I may have to wait another 4 years to go again. :cry: I hope not! They should make it a once a year thing. lol. But i swear, next time I am going to make sure I have the extra money to get orchestra seats!! I want to sit right under the chandlier! lol. Our seats weren't amazing, but at least they werent nose bleed.

    Oh, and New Moon was excellent! I dont know if any of you wanted to see it or not, but if so, I recomend it. For the most part it sticks with the book, so I liked that. But they did have to leave a lot out to make it fit in one movie so..... But still good.:flowerforyou:

    And I lost 1 pound last week. I dont know why but i was kind of dissappointed about it. I was hoping to lose 2. But oh well. I did still lose so thats all the matters. I'll try extra hard this week.:ohwell:

    Oh and amm114, I'm sorry, I dont know you're name, but the story on the purple shirt i found...... i found one i liked at dillards but i wasn't 100% sold on it so i put it on hold, and i never went back to get it because we were going to ross after the movie yesterday so i was sure i would find something there, but sure enough i didnt find 1 thing i liked! I was so pissed because it took so long, I didnt have enough time to go from one mall to another to buy the shirt, so i got stuck wearing i shirt i already had.:cry::cry: :sad: But, i hadn't woren it in like 3 years, so i tried it one, and it looked really good on me! I was really suprised. It was the first time I've gone out and I didnt feel like i was fat!! I can't begin to tell you how good it made me feel, and to know that i'm about 75% there! I'm not stopping until I'm there! But no purple shirt for me.:ohwell:

    Have a good Sunday!! GO CARDINALS!!!!:laugh:

    BEAUTIFUL DAY
    -It was a cool fall day. The colorful leaves blanketed the grass
    and the wind swept my hair against my cheek as my comapion
    and I walked. My legs grew tired, my mind tells me to keep going
    and enjoy this beautiful day!


    Sat- 30 min, 6 glasses of water
    I got my transcripts today and they were all A's. 4.0 student lol. And on top of everything else I have a interview tomorrow. It might not be a vet's office, but a boarding kennel would be good experience to start with I guess. What do you all think I should wear. Everyone I know tells me not dress pants or anything. But then what? Need the advice!

    Ariel - glad you had a good saturday. 1 pound is great

    amm - no change - I would take it. Sorry you won't be going on for thanksgiving but at least you have friends to spend the day with

    joline - great job on the buffet and not overeating. good luck on the interview. I am not sure on what you should were since I have always worked in business environments I always were suits to interviews. so my personal advise would be slacks and a nice shirt even if it is a vet but I don't know for sure

    Saturday - 20 min workout
    Sun - 0 workout
    Monday - 20 min workout

    I did not keep track of water this weekend but I don't think I did too good.

    Down 1 pound from last week. I was kindof bad this weekend so I will take it.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday
