@Mara - Good on you for working through your cold. I know how hard it is to get moving when you feel like carp. From what I've read, if it's above the neck work out through it. If it's below the neck, let your body rest.
@Tina - I'm sorry to hear about the treadmill you were using. Hopefully you get something worked out soon.
@Charlotte - Welcome back
I hope work calms down a bit so you can get working out...but it sounds like you might be getting that workout @ work.
@JT Const - How has your water in take been? I know if I don't get enough water I get terrible headaches.
@Vickie - *SOO* excited for you being so close to ONEderland. That's HUGE and so exciting!
@Laurie - That's great that your trainer hooked you up with a workout. It's sure to be a great burn/strengthener
@Susan - Good job on getting to the gym. I so want to try running a bit but... I'm too self conscious to try it in public and I don't have a treadmill (co workers wife won't give hers up, so I guess it's a no go on my free one).
@Naceto - Glad you're giving the guy another chance. Stand strong by your goals and be open with him about what they are. If he's a good man he'll support you and HELP you achieve them. Just be prepared to tell him how to help you achieve them.
@Linder - Let us know how you like the Zumba CD. I've had a hankering for one. Zumba looks like a fun (but hard) workout.
@GrandmaKaye - The increase in energy is the biggest bonus of healthy living. Imo, it's combination of less weight and eating a good healthy diet to fuel your body in a way that lets it thrive.
Saturday Success - Down to 216.6 so only about 1.5 lbs above my lowest on 12/4/12. I can be back where I belong by next weekend I think. That THRILLS me. Friday I took my scale into work (it's been a number of months since I have had it done) and had it calibrated. The .10th of a lb is a bit iffy in my weight range but the regular numbers are spot on. I wanted to check its accuracy since there was so much swing this month. I guess the 'swing' was my body. :laugh:0 -
Hello all Well the good news the headache is just a little niggle easily ignored now. So I got up and looked around the house and have decided goblins must live here when I am not looking. I dont know how it keeps getting so messy. I am the only one here with any regularity and I was in bed most of yesterday. Oh well time to clean it so it can mess itself up again. I hope everyone has some fun plans for the weekend. I am going to be spending as much time as I can with the hubby as he will be leaving soon to go back to Alaska for a couple of months. My daughter graduates this month and plans on looking for a place of her own within a month or two. It will be just me and the animals then when the hubby is gone. Gonna be weird but I am not quite as emotional about the whole idea as I was. I have done pretty good on my eating this last week and have gotten some exercise so I seem to be getting back on track. Alright I will go clean the kitchen now but I wont like it. Dont forget drink your water folks:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:0

Yip!! I did the Zumba GOLD cardio DVD---45 minutes total and I ADORED IT!!
This isn't Zumba but the Gold version designed for older people so it's designed to be easier on the joints. I had tried regular Zumba a few times last year but it didn't click for me. This does. Dancing shoes, concrete floor so you can move easily===success.
I hope you all enjoy the rest of the day.

Yay! I have to look into this. So glad you found a fun activity to support reaching your goals! :drinker:0 -

Woohoo that is awesome!!!! I am so happy for you! Keep up the great work... Funny, I weighed yesterday and I was ALSO 1.5 lbs away from my lowest. We can kick that 1.5lbs right outta the park!0 -
@toots & laurie--thanks for keeping an eye on the thread in case it rolled over while I was away last night. :flowerforyou:
@lin--glad you found a new workout activity that you like!
@tammy--I know what you mean about the house messing itself up--it's just me and the DH, but somehow every time I get the dining room table almost cleared, new stuff magically deposits itself there. :ohwell:
@nicole & kris--glad you guys are almost back to your lowest weight!
@nicole--glad the guy is making an effort!
@susan--wow, an 8% incline!! That's brave! I run FLAT! :laugh:
@liz--I'm going on 2 years and I still weigh/measure whenever possible. I also am pretty good at eyeballing it, but I figure when I'm at home I may as well be precise and save the guesswork for when I'm dining out.
@vickie--I had a favorite pair of CK jeans; loved everything about them--the wash, the cut, the feel. I had also spent about $100 on them which is something I almost NEVER do. I was really sad when they got too big, but you know what? I have new favorite jeans that are 2 sizes smaller, and I don't miss those CK jeans at all! Congrats on nearing Onederland!! :drinker:
@kristen--I would say that definitely counts! Can't wait to hear how you like Insanity--I've never tried it, but hear it's a killer!
@kaye--great job with the stairs--that knee will be at 100% in no time!
@tina--I love laurie's idea to run after work. Maybe you can do some core work or one of your dvd's in the days you have class. It's good for your running muscles to take days off in between runs--that way they get a chance to rest completely and you'll make more progress with your endurance and speed.
@mara--hope you enjoyed your workout!
@angelika--glad we have a common goal! While driving home from WI today, I was thinking that I cannot envision myself as a size 8 or 10--I guess b/c I have no frame of reference having never been that small. I almost have a kind of mental block right now that makes me feel like it's ludicrous to think I will ever be smaller than I am right now (in a 12/14). However, at the same time I am completely aware of the fact that I still have PLENTY of excess fat on my body. I guess I will just have to keep working hard to see the results.
Saturday Success:
Well I had a good time at my friend's in WI. We went out for dinner and I was about to get the fish fry or a juicy burger. Then I saw they had a "new" item--a wrap with quinoa, baby spinach, red pepper, and grilled chicken. I ordered that and it was delicious! I only ate half b/c it was huge--just finished the other half for lunch today. Good thing I ate a semi-healthy dinner b/c we went back to my friend's house and made peanut butter kiss cookies and also munched on peanut m&m's. I'm sure I went over on calories, but at least I made *some* good choices.
I stopped at school to drop off some grading and make some copies. Headed to starbucks to get some more work done. :drinker:

Can ask where you got this and what it cost. I have watched my daughter do regular Zumba and it looked like fun but a little much for me at this time.Yip!! I did the Zumba GOLD cardio DVD---45 minutes total and I ADORED IT!!

This has been a crazy day with no formal exercise plan meet. I started with a trip to the chiropractor in an effort to release the tension in my neck and shoulders. The traffic heading in the direction I needed to go was backed up and stopped at some points so I took the long way around. I was going to meet my friend at the gym but that was squashed since once we got there there was no place to park (Recreation Center =winter basketball leagues=no parking on Saturdays-ughhh). So we went to lunch. Then I ran into parking problems at the Amish market finally headed home again. Gym parking lot still busy. DId not make it to the gym but did do a little workout at home using hand weights. Now I am finally home for the night.
Success actually using the hand weights and doing a workout at home instead of the gym. The weights are light but at least it is a start.0 -
Saturday Success: Went to work and stayed WAY UNDER and wasn't hungry at all.0

Saturday Success: It's been a good week. I'm so glad to be back on track and focused. I went to the gym three days and walked outside as well. Since mid-October, I've been in a funk with plateaus, limited exercise and just not sure what I needed to do to get my butt back in gear. With this funk and then the holidays, I quickly gained 10 lbs. This week I've llost 5 and only 5 more to go then I'm right back where I need to be. By tracking, staying under calories (and not eating so much junk) plus exercising I lost weight. I have to keep telling myself - eat less and move more. You will lose!!!0

That's the best price I've seen for the Zumba Gold. JUMP on it (or dance over and place your order). :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Friday fitness.... 1.85 miles today! Woohoo, and she's back in action. That is three walks this week and I am under most days on my calories. Lots more water and veggies too. I am starting to feel much better... but I am breaking out! It is like my body is trying to push out all the junk I've eaten. I guess this means I better stick to it, eh?
The guy... well, he came over tonight- with pizza... my first thought was UGH
does he not listen?? But he brings it in, saying he got "healthy pizza"... Papa Murphy's chicken delight.:smooched: It took me over on my calories.. but it was such a sweet gesture- he is trying, right? Then I told him I should walk it off... he said, "ok, let's go". Turns out, he is fun to walk with.. .he was really supportive and great. I am still not sure where or how far this can go... but right now, it's okay. I think I just have to step back a bit, right? Maybe I'm a sucker... but there is only one way to find out.
Anyway, I hope you all are ready for a fabulous weekend filled with healthy choices and lots of joy. :drinker: drink up! :drinker:
Great pos Nicole in so many ways. You're taking care of YOU!! You're back to walking, drinking water, trying to stay under, eating more veggies, etc. . . you're back on track. Good for you! Plus, it sounds like the guy came with a peace offering. While it was food, it was the thought that counts. Like you said, you will just step back a little and take it slow. You'll know.0 -

Woo Hoo!!! I'm so proud of you. I know you were pretty bummed with the gain, but you've learned so much throughout this journey and were ready to get right back on track. You're going to be under Onderland before you know it!!0 -
My deep tissue massage after my workout today has left me with zero energy and I'm super sore - he really worked my IT bands, so painful & bad enough that I have another appt next week. I sure hope I can walk tomorrow, right now its hard enough - I really should take a hot a bath but that would involve walking upstairs!
@Nicole~I'm so glad that the BF brought over something healthier and was on board for walking with you afterwards.
@Kris~Congrats, that other 1.5# will be gone in no time. Excellent!0 -
Hello Everyone,
Today has been really busy, fun and sort of sad. Just like as the world turns more like as the world turns in Liz 's life.
Good workshop was really good learned a lot that was the morning. Left there at 12:30 headed home to pickup my daughter to a get her out of the house and b accomplish completing some errands. So got home one of my errands was grocery shopping. I got on line to check bank account as I did notice it was less than expected available so went check transactions history notice the payment made that I didn't ok was for iwireless for payment. We don't have a phone through that company but my sister does her daughter does her granddaughter does. In Nov I made a payment for her. I did w stupid thing when I kept trying to do this on my phone here in Idaho they wouldn't let me its my sister so I use my card thank goodness not our family account card. Yo pay the number I ask her right after she done to delete it. She said she wrote it down than when done our mom ran a permanent marker through number than burn it. But I didn't notice December payment but it was there on statement but the next ones. For January was big because it cover her card her daughter and granddaughter. She didn't delete the number from her phone. This is my sister you will never know her I am still so hurt $300.00 I know what happen and I know why. Burt when we help her in November it was understanding cant do this monthly we both work really hard at low paying jobs we help my mom monthly and that's ok its my mom I am not saying this for a pat on the back but we really don't have lots of extra money. . I have help.her many times in the past but this is the last straw I went down closed my account and will now have my paycheck direct deposit in our family account. I feel like such a fool to give her my info but this is my sister. I trust her to do the right thing. But I can barely talk with even my husband its still so new its I am in shock about this but here is safe place for me to process it. Sorry this is so jumble.
Happy part after this a friend (coworker) called and ask me to join her at the Y today. So I went they have a lady river thing and its warm so that's what I did for over a half hour just went around and around.
and so far I am still under on my calories. But I must admit a chocolate anything at this moment sounds good to me.
Thank you for your eard0 -
Meant lazy river pool and thank you for your ears0

Liz- I am sorry to hear that your sister took advantage of you to pay her bills. I would ask her for the money back, I realize that she may not be able to pay but she needs to know that her actions were not acceptable and that she needs to make a mends.
Kelley- I hope that you can relax after the deep tissue massage. A massage sounds good to me right now but not deep tissue.0 -

@liz--I'm so sorry your sister took advantage of you--you should not feel like a fool--people should be able to trust family in those types of situations. Sadly, now you know that's not the case with your sister. I agree with Laurie that you should ask her for the money--even if you know you won't get it back, she needs to know you expect her to make good on the money she took. I believe you also need to at least give her a chance to explain herself and her actions--maybe it was an honest misunderstanding on her part. If not, at least you asked rather than assuming she purposely stole from you.
@kelley--hope the pain subsides so you can walk tomorrow!
@susan--congrats on getting back on track and shaking off that funk--I think mine lasted most of 2012, but I'm also back on track and ready to make some more progress in 2013. I lost only 12 lbs. in 2012--I would like to lose about twice that in 2013 so I've got some work to do.
@kristen--great job!!:flowerforyou:
I went to school and got some copies made then did a bit of grading. Didn't get much done on my goals list, but I finished some prep work for my AP and Junior honors classes for next week. Will try to get a bit more done tonight while watching the Packers crush the Vikings (I hope!).
I need to finish the Scarlet Letter essays and the Failure essays before Monday. Anything else will be gravy b/c it doesn't need to be done until end of quarter in 2 weeks.
