Truth - I don't wanna do Leslie Sansone today. My legs are aching and aching from yesterdays workout, which seemed really hard to do at the time. I'm wondering if I should take a rest day or power on through it? I was up overnite with a migraine and am cruising on only 4 hours of sleep too. Will just close my eyes for a while.....................0

OK, OK, too cold and windy for a walk outside, I'll start the video and just go as far as I can tolerate. No big deal really. Thanks for the encouragementsky.0

Hey ladies!
@mow, sorry about your back hun, i hope you feel better.
@lin my back does that too sometimes?
It is BLOWING like no other here! How crazy is that. It stormed earlier and then we got an emergency in and now the wind is just hollerin' and won't quit. I'm hoping my car will still be there when I leave tonight!
Thurs Truth: I would really just love to work 1 job and still have all my bills paid. I had a cookie yesterday and didn't log it. It's been haunting me all day.0 -
Gearing up for the blizzard here.... thought I was going to have a snow day, but even though there will be no students, my boss said to come in... I work at a Clinical Day Treatment School, so the kids are bussed in but at the same hospital site, there is an inpatient school and my boss is principal of both.... since those kids are already there, they have school and need teachers.... sigh. I thought this new job meant NOT having to go out in storms. OK, enough complaining. Still plodding along, 7/7 on the GHD challenge. Off to bed... no sleeping in for me. (Oops, I said I was done complaining).0

@lmackbeth--no snow day for us either :ohwell: --we got over 5 inches of snow in about 3-4 hours, but it's stopping tonight, so I doubt school will be canceled or delayed.
@kristen--I had the same issue--closed out my diary last night, then ate more. Felt guilty, so I went back and logged it which put me over yesterday by about 500 (so basically at maintenance for the day). Today I should be about 250 under, so at least I am making up for some of it. :grumble:
@robin--good girl! I bet once you get started, you will end up finishing that mile. And even if you don't, something is better than nothing. :drinker:
@lin & kirs--hope both of your backs are feeling better soon. :flowerforyou:
@laurie--sometimes you just need a little break from the discipline--you know you aren't the type to repeat, so it's all good!
@holly--that sucks that you're losing your gym, but hopefully the weather will turn quickly and you can resume your lunchtime walks outdoors.
@drojen--hope you get your snow day and that the blizzard doesn't hit too hard.
@kaye--enjoy your grandson's b-day, and if I haven't said it already, love your new profile pic!
@karenleona--hope your grandson recovers quickly.
@gorilla & doug--I also do full body b/c I only do weights 2-3 times a week. I try to do core stuff more often, but tend to fail miserably with that goal. :blushing: My typical routine tends to be heavy on the upper b/c my leg muscles get such a workout from running, cycling, and ellipticaling. I also have to be really careful with lower weights b/c of a previous knee injury (torn meniscus)--squats and such tend to aggravate it. :ohwell:
@desdemina--congrats on getting a quarter of the way to the 100 lb mark! :drinker:
@alison--hope your DH gets that bathroom done quickly!
@charlotte--that really stinks about your tires--what a horrible way to end your work day. On the plus side--great Jan. loss!! That's more than I lost all of last year.
Thursday Truth:
Well as I admitted above to kristen, I ended up eating more after closing my diary last night. I owned up and logged it today, but I wish I hadn't caved--I honestly wasn't even hungry, just really wanted some of my DH's chili cheese dip. :blushing:
As I mentioned above, the snow came down brutally this afternoon. It took me almost an hour to drive the 7 miles home from work. No way I could walk gunner or drive to the gym, but I shoveled the entire driveway which burned almost 400 calories. Also, the snow was so wet and heavy that I know I got in a good core workout as well.
Exercise Goals:
Mon--gym DONE (weights + elliptical + treadmill)
Tues--rest day (have to teach an evening ACT class
Wed--walk gunner DONE + core
Thurs--walk gunner + gym NOT DONE but I shoveled very heavy snow for about an hour
Fri--rest day
Sat--walk gunner + gym (long run)
Sun--walk gunner + core
Grading Goals:
1. x/16 verb worksheets
2. x/16 ACT practice essays
February Challenge: 7/28 days of minimum 80 grams of protein0 -
The birthday cake was so totally worth it! I made my favorite chocolate cake recipe and used a fluffy egg white frosting. The ice cream not so much. It was good ice cream, but I'm not much of an ice cream person. I wish that I had had a glass of milk instead. I'll know next time. I used a few of my exercise calories today, which I try to avoid, but as I said before, it was worth it.
I still have 2 glasses of water to go for my GHD, but I'll make it.
Good night, Kaye.0 -
Thursday Truth: AWESOME day!!! At Weight Watchers today, I was down 4 lbs. I've been at that 37 lb mark forever it seems, but now with MFP I've lost 41 lbs - Woo Hoo!!!! I'm so excited to be only 9 lbs away from 50 - another Woo Hoo!! I also received my 185 days of logging notice and my total loss so far is 57 lbs. MFP does work!!!
Plus, it's official I signed the acceptance letter today for my new job. I'm super excited to be joining a great company. I'll be giving my resignation letter on Monday, which will be a bit nerve racking. The owners, President, and everyone I've met so far are great people! It's nice to be wanted and they can't wait for me to join their team. I'll be the Director of Purchasing & Quality Assurance for Capriotti's Sandwich Shop. I love this brand and can't wait to be a part of their future success. It's been a GREAT day.0 -
Hi All, Thanks for all the encouraging words. I feel bad accepting any praise for my January loss though. I'm still working on losing all the weight I gained back last year after my surgery and this is just the start of it. I'm happy to have lost it though so I'll just say thank you and hope that not only can I keep it off this time but that I can keep losing what I had gained so that I can get to a point where I'm going lower than I was 2 years ago. The yo-yoing is so frustrating and I know I have only myself to blame. But, onward and upward as they say.
My Thursday truth is that I still haven't gotten back into the excercise routine like I was hoping too. It just seems like by the time I get home from work I just dont' want to do anything but sit and veg for an hour or so then go to bed and on my days off I have so many other things to do. I know this is just me making excuses because I was able to find the time before my surgery so I have not excuse really.
So glad everyone is picking up some great exercise habits. I'd love to be able to just get out and go for a walk but I'm not a lover of cold weather and we are getting more than our fair share of it. Right now Ontario is blanketed in a storm that is threatening to drop over 20 cm. of snow on us. Looks like I'll get that exercise when I get home cause I'll have to shovel my driveway in order to get my car in it. Lets finish up the week strong everyone and head into the w/e with a positive attitude. Oh and drink up. Charlotte

Hello,
Thursday truth : I am very grateful to have. Work but it physically, emotionally ducks the life out of me. I will start the week out and feel normal but by midweek to end week I want to crawl in a hole and not come out.
Sorry for my rant. My food is going ok workout s were going ok till yesterday do exhausted I feel asleep at very early. No workout hard time getting back on track.
I did read all of the posts.

Hey, wondering if I can sneak in and join your thread... Love all the motivation here, and I need it
Today I got back into my routine after being sick for a week. Went to the gym and had a great work out on the elliptical followed by relaxing in the sauna for 15 min. I like doing light stretching in there. It really helps me loosen up my very sore muscles! lol
Thursday Truth - I have a problem with night time eating... Like right now, I want to eat but I'm not hungry... And I think I'm going to go to bed so I don't eat anything. I already went over my calories by 100 today.... Oh, and I gained 5 pounds
Well, I will check in tomorrow!!! Thanks!0 -
karenleona - hope your grandson is better now - asthma attacks can sure be scary! (and ER trips here in the USA are usually average a 3 hour stay, how long was yours?)
MowMow - free unsolicited medical advice from a non-practictioner can your Dr. prescribe muscle relaxants like Flexeril? That might help them un-knot and relax. Good drug when specific symptoms are bothering you.
Kaye - I'm with you. Walking is all I can handle, and this Leslie S. tape is kicking my butt, because its a little more than walking - she throws in arm exercises along the way and kicks. Glad you enjoyed your birthday celebration. What a revelation about ice cream.
Lin - I hope your back gets better! :flowerforyou:
mackbeth - you can still have a special snuggle tonight before bed with a warm drink and Sleep in an extra 5 minutes tomorrow to treat yourself ! You deserve it! You should get snow days!
Susan - <cough> Director, I mean, well, CONGRATULATIONS, MA'AM!!!! I'm so happy for you, nothing like a contract with ink on it to give you the security you and your son deserve. Resigning from the other job is going to probably not be as difficult as you fear - you'll be so busy getting everyone acquainted with your job, your system, that no one will be able to mess with you. I hope you can work out a nice non-disclosure package.
kinnurse - there is a time when it is right to exercise and a time when your heart just isn't in it, Charlotte. Maybe when spring rolls around you'll discover an interest in going outside that you don't have now. Relax about it a little, you'll start again.
Skinny & All - Yes, I did walk to Leslie - the whole mile so I'm 5/7 for GHD Challenge.0 -
Lizmil - works sounds terribly stressful. Can you speak to your boss? Yeah, that probably won't help. They won't hire any more help is probably what the problem is, I'm just guessing? Do you take your breaks? Do you practice stress-busting techniques such as taking deep breathes for several minutes? Just putting some ideas out there.
nickelsthough - welcome - you've come to a great group - make yourself at home!. We'll answer what we can. Night time hunger is a tough problem, so plan on having a late night snack by allowing the calories for it when you plan out your calories for the day.
Drink eight 8-oz. glasses of water a day, bare minimum, or more if you can handle it.
DoBarber - thanks for the nice compliment - I try to take care of everyone!0 -
Happy Friday everyone!

--Friday Fitness - Well normally my weekends I get to the gym once it opens at 7am to lift. But with an expected 10 inches of snow (a lot for us Jersey folks) my workout will be shoveling my cars out and my neighbors cars... The one guy is 80, chains smokes, and refuses to let his car sit in the snow! I will have to be up early so he does not have his 5th heart attack!!!
Sunday my boys have a wrestling tournament... well as of right now just one does, but I am hoping that Sunday School gets cancelled so they both can wrestle in it. This is their first year of wrestling and they are loving it... if they can win 2 matches at this tournament they will get a medal.. they are both amped up to earn one of those!0 -
Drojen... check out that spin class! The first couple of times your legs and @$$ will hurt but it is such a great workout! It might slow your run or leg work a bit, but in the long run will improve them both.
Robin.. what sort of workout did you get in?
skinnyjeanzbound... Don't let your lower body get off easy with the weights!!! Building leg muscles is one of the most effective ways to burn fat! Like I said to Drojen... yes your legs will be more tired at first for your other cardio type work, but that only lasts so long and the benefits are worth it! - and nice job with the shoveling!
Grandmakay... Hook me up with some of that cake!!
Susan.. congrats on the new job and the good loss this week!!! Keep kicking @$$!
nickelsthoughts... sounds like a rough patch, and the late night eating is an issue for me too... and the nighttime wine drinking! Keep working hard though and push through it0 -
Good Morning. Today may prove interesting. Daughter spent some time in the hospital last night with labor, but it subsided. She's still hoping for today. We don't have Keith yet. She is staying home from work, but will go to the doctor later this morning. I'm hoping that people come around to eat some of the cake. There is half of it left. :noway: I'm going to have to keep really busy today to ignore it.
Have a great day. Your Friday Fitness goals make me tired just reading them! I will get in my walk. Kaye0 -
@susan What great news all the way around! Doesn't it feel great to feel wanted?
@charlotte Stop that thinking right now! Don't think of it as making up for the gain you had last year. The past is over and done, all we have is the future. Every time I look at weight loss as making up for something bad, as moving AWAY from something (high weight) I get depressed and bogged down. Instead, I look at it as movie TOWARD something good (lower weight) and I feel more motivated and positive! So just take the loss as the great accomplishment it is!
@liz Oh, how I understand! My job now is better, but I have definitely been there. I don't have any great advice, just a sympathetic virtual shoulder.
@nickels Welcome! Come on in and visit when you feel like mindless eating. Typing keeps your fingers busy so you can't eat!
I was excited to go home last night and play Dance Central some more after how much fun I had the night before. Plus, they have a game mode where you go through a story and you have to score high enough on these different songs in order to advance the story, and I wanted to see what happened next. But my body REALLY did not want to do it after the intense session the night before. I still managed about half an hour. I know I need to do different kinds of exercise, not just play dance games, but my doctor said that it's good for now, since I'm just starting to exercise again. Plus, I am feeling it EVERYWHERE! The movements you have to do work core, arms, legs, and muscles I didn't know I had...0 -
Gorilla - I'm doing Leslie Sansone Walk -a -Mile. It takes 20 min. to do and its my first real stab at continued exercise since I've started this thread. I won't go into what else I've started and failed at but I'm glad for this Feb. Challenge and the people encouragiing me to stay at it. Of course I have a big carrot at the end of Feb. - my vacation is a week in Jamaica.
Plus I am somewhat - oh shall I say encumbered with a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, artificial knee that I can't kneel on, so those things held me back from sticking with exercises before. BUT they are not stopping me now.
Leslie has me walking, kicking, and lifting my arms all to complete a mile in 20 minutes and I am huffing my way through it finally!
Gorilla - I'm so glad you've re-joined us! Thanks so much for coming back and your offers of friendship to the people here. :blushing:0 -
@desdemina and Alison--You guys are making me wish I had room in my house to play Dance Central or DDR. I dancing and go out with friends to do so quite a bit in the summer. It's harder during the school year. Unfortunately, I have very little floor space in my living room or bedroom, and those are the only 2 rooms with televisions, so I can't really play those games at home. :ohwell:
@susan--congrats on the new job!! :flowerforyou: :drinker: Don't worry too much about resigning--if anyone gives you a hard time about it, it will be further proof that you made the right choice.
@gorilla--it's not so much that I let my lower body get off easy, it's that my upper body needs so much more work, so that tends to be the focus. My lower body is much stronger, more muscular, and more toned. In fact, just last week one of my friends commented that she wished she had my legs b/c she could see the definition in my thigh muscles through my jeans. In comparison, my arms and shoulders are very flabby and lack strength. I can leg press more than my body weight, but I can only shoulder press about 40 lbs (and only for a few reps). Hope your boys do well at their tournament!! My bff's boys are both big-time wrestlers.
@robin--good job getting the LS done!
@liz--sorry your job is so draining.
@charlotte--I totally understand your desire to come home and just relax. I find that if I do that, I'm probably not getting back up to go workout. I make it a point to come home and change right into my workout clothes if I have a gym day scheduled. If it's just a walk with gunner I do that right after work as well--it's just too hard to motivate myself once my tush hits the couch. As far as days off, you really need to SCHEDULE that work out time. As much as you have other things you need to do, you and your health are important enough to warrant some time. When I first started making my weekly exercise goals, I didn't really think it would work, but it actually helps quite a bit. I still have days when other factors interfere (like the weather yesterday), but overall it gets me to the gym more often.
Friday Fitness:
Doing okay this week. I'm a bit nervous about my long run on Sat.. Whenever I do really well, I'm always worried a worse performance will deflate me. I know it's silly--I've been running long enough to know that I'll have good runs and bad runs. I also still need to get new running shoes, so I may do that on Sunday.
Exercise Goals:
Mon--gym DONE (weights + elliptical + treadmill)
Tues--rest day (have to teach an evening ACT class
Wed--walk gunner DONE + core
Thurs--walk gunner + gym NOT DONE but I shoveled very heavy snow for about an hour
Fri--rest day
Sat--walk gunner + gym (long run)
Sun--walk gunner + core
Grading Goals:
1. x/16 verb worksheets
2. x/16 ACT practice essays
February Challenge: 7/28 days of minimum 80 grams of protein0 -
Good morning everyone!
@Lin & MyMowMow- I second the muscle relaxers for your back, I take soma when mine acts up. It is prescribed so you would have to go to the Doctor’s office. Hope you both feel better!
@skinny- Cheese dip is the devil! My wife made some for the super bowl and I had to finish it over the days that followed. It put me over for days in a row. Sodium, fat , carbs were all over because of it and the chips. Thanks goodness it is gone!
@ Kaye- Glad the birthday cake was so totally worth it!
I am hoping to have some of my own Sunday.
@Susan- Good for you on the Capriotti's job! There is one right down the street from my work and they often get subs from them here at my work. I just found the Black and Bleu salad nutrition info. online, hope this is right as it adds a choice for when we do not feel like cooking!
Welcome to the new people!
Tonight I get to go pick up all the Girl Scout cookies for Amy’s troop, it should be a lot of lifting cases and loading trucks and then unloading them.
Friday fitness- 8/8 for GHD! I’m going to start doing some squats for my legs. I do not have the right kind of weights for them but I am thinking of using two 5 gallon water bottles (which is almost 84 lbs.) I’ll see how that goes.
Let’s all have a healthy day!

Friday Fitness: going to the gym, then going to buy pepper spray so I can work out this weekend in my neighborhood without getting eaten by these two kujos running around. :laugh:0

Ok, guys, I know we all have these from time to time, but I'm having a fat day. I know, yesterday I celebrated 25 pounds gone, and I know that's a lot, but I'm just feeling like there is so far to go. I know, I know, don't look at the big picture, take it in small chunks. I know all the advice I would give someone else who was saying this. But knowing it in my head doesn't help. I feel like my spare tire has doubled since yesterday!0

Happy Friday!!!
Well it went from warmish to cold again here ugh! Warmish is like 20 degrees. This weekend I am getting a whole new front end on my car bearings, tie rods, tires, and alignment. Plus I have class not sure how much fitness time I will get in but I am gonna try my hardest.
@ Robin- way to pull through and do the walk when feeling beat :flowerforyou:
@Susan- You have so many wins to celebrate....congrats
@Karen- I also eat sometimes after closing my diary and I hate it but I just log it the next morning
@Liz- Keep your head up and maybe because you know mid week is rough for you take some me time to re-energize
@Gorilla- You have a great fitness plan in place. Good luck to your kiddos
@Tom- you reminded me that the cookie girl will be coming around....she is my biggest weakness I love Tagalongs.
@NewPeople- Welcome to the group
Okay I did the 7 mins on the elliptical yesterday and OMG! my legs were burning even though I wanted to give up at 5miles I just threw a towel over the screen info and continued.
I gave my so called bf an ultimatium(spelled wrong probably) he doesn't know yet the consequences to his choice but it will either by therapy or finding a new place to live. I am giving him til Sunday night to make his choice then I will tell him the consequence.0 -

Thanks all for the advice. :happy: I really shy away from taking painkillers and stuff like that, so far I've managed to even avoid ibuprofen for it, but if it doesn't get better soon I'll go visit Dr. McHotty Pants. At the very least staring at him will cheer me up :blushing: I'm supposed to see him in March for a 1 year follow up from my stroke, so I'd like to hold off for a few more weeks if Ican. I can't believe it's almost been a full year.
No exercise for me since Wednesday. I'm taking it easy still. I can move around and even lift stuff again. However if something lands on the floor I have to weigh the importance of picking it up against the pain it will cause. Right now I have two wooden spoons and a pot holder on the kitchen floor. They are staying there for the time being. I pushed them to a corner out of the way (and out of site) to deal with when I can. The only time my back reaches crisis mode is when I have to sneeze. The new tenants below me must think I suffer from Tourettes. Each time I sneeze I yell out an obscenity.
I think my Friday fitness will include some very light yoga today and this weekend. I think that'll do wonders for my back.
My ex husband is going to look at a kickboxing bag for me tonight. I found it on craigslist and it's in his town. I told him if it's not totally gross and it's got no rips to buy (for a whopping 25.00) and deliver it(of course I'll pay him a small amount for his time/gas). I'm VERY excited to have it. It's a stand alone so I won't have to pay a handyman to hang it.0 -
Happy Friday everyone. I doubt many of you will remember me. I used to use the username vinsonh42 and always signed Layna. I finally have my head back on right and am ready to give this another try. A lot of things happened while I was gone. The reason I left the site was because I got depressed due to a lot of things that were going on, mostly my grandmother getting very very sick and has been for a while now. While she is doing better and is on anti-biotics she will never be the same and despite taking a mass off of her brain and messing up her speech the doctors still do not know what is wrong. She has made leaps and bounds and the masses in her lungs and brain are shrinking thankfully. I am back and glad to say my depression has passed.
Friday Fitness: My bf and I adopted a puppy 5 weeks ago and I plan to walk him at least 3 good walks a day this weekend rather than just take him out to go to the bathroom. (He is such a sweetie pie and I love him to bits!) I only get to see him on the weekends (for now) so during the week I plan to walk/run on the treadmill or ride my exercise bike. I found out I am definitely better at running/walking barefoot. No pain in my ankle. I was able to jog for 2 minutes straight at 4 mph last night. I got a hrm and a resistance band.
Food:Today is payday so I will be buying groceries. I heard about this thing called mason jar salads and I think I am going to try those. You just put your dressing in first then your meat then veggies then lettuce or spinach. Once you put the lid on you have to vacuum seal it and they can last up to 4 days in the fridge so you can pre-make them. The vacuum sealing stuff isn't very expensive you just need the jar sealing attachment which is $8 online and a hand pump which is $7 if you get the ziploc brand. And the mason jars are reusable!
I think that is enough from me. Glad to be back.

Hi Everyone :flowerforyou:
I had a few minutes so I thought I would drop in. I miss you guys and keep hoping everything that has consumed my life will some how calm down so I can get back to attacking my weight loss . For those of you that know me I'll give you a quick update. My mother is back home and is recovering from all of her health issues quite nicely. She is walking again but sill can not drive her car or do much work around her house. She will start a round of chemo coming up to hopefully attack her bone cancer. My sister is still living with me and is a 24/7 job to take care of. I still spend all of my time taking care of my mother and sister which leaves very little time for me. Hopefully spring will get here soon so I can try to get a trail walk in now and again.
@skinnyjeanz & @GrammyWhammy - Thank you for posting such kind words on my profile. It's nice to know I am missed.
Well, I'm off to my mother's house to shovel snow. Is it Spring yet . . . :sad:0 -
Helena - welcome back! So glad to hear things are going better for your grand mama! And a new puppy - what fun ! Glad you found us again and are committed to a new healthy lifestyle. We are glad to see you again. :flowerforyou:0

Happy Friday Everyone!
Friday Fitness~Sorry I’ve been MIA, I’ve been down with some debilitating abdominal pain – pain meds are helping a bit but it put me out of commission for a couple of days. I did manage to work out with my trainer on Wednesday, albeit not at a high intensity and he didn’t have me run. I’m planning to get on running elliptical at the gym tonight and if that goes well doing a long run tomorrow, this is also the official weigh-in weekend for the weight loss challenge.
@Karen~I feel the same way about my run tomorrow, hopefully our legs won’t fail us!
@Holly~Way to conquer that elliptical and yay for you standing up to the bf!
@Helena~Welcome back, good to “see” you – glad your grandmother is doing better.
@Robin~Proud of you for doing Leslie even though your legs were bothering you, way to push through!

Glad you are still with us and looking out for your health. You are in my prayers constantly! :flowerforyou: Lots of love.0
