    Hello Everyone,

    Today has been a busy day. Today was bowling day for my clients we spend the day at the bowling alley. Being I work with the afternoon to it truly means all day. Fun way to make a living but I am really tired.


    Thursday truth: Food is going ok just frustrated which the weight would be coming off faster.

    @Robin congrats on.the weight loss.l



    Wishing everyone a good night.

    Thursday Truth: Well, I ordered the cutest dress and cardigan in the sale, from a shop that would be too upmarket for me at full price. I dithered for ages before getting them, but eventually took the plunge, and they arrived today. The dress is a tad tight (I need a friend to get the zip done up!) but it basically fits and is super cute. So hopefully that should do for spring parties and lunches providing I can break the plateau.

    you're looking great in your ticker, so i'm sure more good things will come.
    Thursday truth - I think I really *AM* the crazy cat lady. I've been checking the shipping info ALL day to see if the stroller has been delivered yet (it's scheduled for today). I just can't WAIT to stuff MowMow into it tonight and hit the pavement!

    haha my cat would cut me if i tried to put her in a stroller.
    My new walking buddy, MowMow, on his first stroll(er). He had a blast talking to little kids who went by, watching the ducks on the pond, and chilling while I walked

    MowMow is adorable! I think my kitty would resist stroller rides, especially since my girls wold do most of the pushing! :laugh:

    Great job to the ladies posting losses and success fitting high-cal foods into their allowances.

    Truth: I actually ran today. Usually when the trainer barks at us to sprint to a building across the parking lot, I jog. Running for real feels beyond my legs. Today, I ran. Felt good to be able to do it and then go back into the workout routine.

    MOwMOw - love the cat stroller!

    Skinny--great job with no cigs!

    Robin-yippee! On the 2 pounds

    Kaye- I can see how you could fall for the blizzard, but it was only one.

    Susan- I live in the Tx panhandle so I relate to all those sinus problems

    Good luck to everyone else.

    Thurs truth- I didn't realize the amount of food and calories I was consuming until I started logging my food.

    Happy Friday!!

    I plan on working on the basement somemore this weekend. We are going to tear down all bathroom walls to see if we can find water damage so far the first wall is down and nothing. I will try to go get to the gym but because I lose my memebership in 14 days I have been limiting my time there for an easier transition.

    @Helena- Hope the rain clears up so you can get in a ride. Glad your puppy is feeling better
    @Robin- Congrats on your loss and with no snacking at night
    @Tina- I would say take the 2 rest days. From my own personal experience of working full time, taking part time classes, raising a kid and fitness I realized I had to schedule homework and fitness each day to get it in. I know everyones life is different but that is what works for me.
    @ Kelly- Glad the trainer is going well
    @Topsmarca- congrats on the loss way to go
    @Tom- love the quote
    @Susancanbethin- I have that same demon that I struggle with....my advice is try not to beat yourself up so much there will be good and bad days. Success is measured in so many more ways than what the scale says. Also I find trying to homemake my favorite snacks or find a healthier version. Example I love sour cream and onion chips...I have replaced them with the special K chips
    @MyM0w- The pic is cute and I laughed so hard thinking how others would look at you or like you said kids asking you questions. What a great way for you and cat to get fresh air also for you exercise. I will say in a good way you are a Crazy Cat Lady:bigsmile:
    @Kaye- You deserve a treat and I know you enjoyed the blizzard right:tongue:
    @Karen- Congrats on the no cigs. You quitting inspired me to talk more with my 16yr old in getting him to quit. I talked to him about e cigs he had heard of them. We talked he seemed to listen but ultimately it is his choice to stop.
    @Laurie- Have fun rock climbing like always
    @Shrink- Congrats on running. I chuckled at the comment " When the trainer barks"
    @Suzee- I agree with you I never realized how horrible I was eating til logging. I knew fast food was bad for me but I had no idea how many calories a day I was eating.

    Friday Fitness:: Well instead of a rest day yesterday. I kind of kicked it up a notch lol. I have been doing the Leslie Sansone 3 mega mile walking DVD. And it's great and I get a good burn. But I downloaded and app "Nike Trainer Club" It is AWESOME!

    It has SO many different workouts, has videos to show you how to do them. Here was the workout I did yesterday

    Sweat+Shape 30 min:
    2min Light Jog
    1min Back Pedal
    2min Straight Leg Kicks
    1min Modified Push Ups
    30sec Modified Plank
    1min Modified Burpee
    2min Side Lunge
    30sec 2 feet forward/backward hops in place
    1min plank
    2min squats
    1min hip lifts
    1min opposite arm/leg extension
    30sec 2 feet lateral hops in place
    30sec modified tricep push ups
    30sec alternating step back lunges
    1min sumo squat with lateral raise
    1min reverse crunches
    15sec squat jumps
    1min hip lifts
    1min modified push ups
    30sec modified plank
    1min modified burpee
    1min opposite arm/leg extension
    15sec squat hold
    1min should press
    2min pretzel stretch
    1min lower back stretch
    2min standing hamstring stretch

    NOW I wasn't able to do ALL of them, but for the ones I couldn't do I at least tried and if I couldn't I would jog or walk in place.
    Unfortunately I didn't have my HRM with me when I did this, so I don't know the exact calorie burn. I logged it as calisthenics.

    I will not be doing this today as I am sore lol I might youtube a leslie sansone like 2mi walk video to do. Nothing major just something simple. But to at least get something in while at work.

    Thank you everyone for tell me it's ok to have some rest days. I'm just so afraid of having a rest day and then not getting back at it. But I know I can push myself to get up and work out when I need to.

    I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

    Tina

    I have class tomorrow from 8-3 and it's finishing up some of our check-offs that we have to complete before we can start clinicals Monday! Wish me luck, I'm nervous about it!

    Wow, its hard to believe it's Friday already! This was a tough week at work for us with all the storms and people being gone. I had to shift job duties for a few days and today is my "catch up" day for my actual job duties. Oh well, makes the time go quickly I guess.

    Yesterday I was suppose to do my C25K but my son was BEGGING for a haircut. So I thought I'd run him somewhere really quick, get in my workout and then to my sister's PartyLite party. Wrong! It took over an hour to get his haircut so I had just enough time to drop him off at home and get to my sister's place. I proceeded to then spend too much money, but it was a fun time and I stayed within my calories.

    Today I have a couple of appoitnments in the afternoon, but WILL be at the gym tonight -- weights and C25K are on the agenda. I've successfully run (aka jogged) half of the of run times so my goal today is to run at least 5-6 of the minutes instead of just the 4. I did order some new shoes that should be here next week so hopefully that will help with my calf cramps. My shoes are a bit older and these new ones are approved by the orthopedic society and are suppose to have great arch support. Tomorrow I will be hitting a zumba class for the first time in almost a month. It kills me, but its such a great burn that I think I need to make a habit of it at least once a week.

    @Tina -- Its hard to find a balance, but keep looking for options. If we don't find the right balance, its so easy for us to quit. and DANG girl --- that's a workout!!! Good job!

    @Susan -- ND is GREAT! :happy: I certainly understand the being away from family. For the last 21 years, I was living 4--7 hours away from my parents and siblings. Now I live much closer (3-15 minutes) to most of my family, but now my husband's family is 4 hours, 7 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours away from us. We just got face time so we're looking forward to using that to stay close. Now about the weather --- it's getting warmer! Not sure where you are from, but sometimes by the end of May, ND is in the 80-90s. Being cold should only last another 3-4 weeks.

    @Bohemian Coast -- a little tight might be some great motivation to keep going. Sometimes I think now that my pants are looser, I am fooling myself into the fact that I'm doing so good. Maybe I need to go buy some tight jeans again :blushing:

    @GrandmaKaye -- I'm impressed that you went so long without DQ. I'm not a big fan of ice cream, but I do think its important to let those things you love stay part of your life. You did exactly what I think we should do to be able to enjoy those higher calorie treats -- offset it with something better and work out. Good for you!

    Have a great Friday!!!

    We are in Louisiana, the home of crazy weather that changes at times from minute to minute. It can be hot, cold, rainy, and sunny all in the span of an hour... literally! He has packed plenty of warm clothing and they all loaded up and headed up early this morning. I am feeling better about it at the moment. It is just hard to let your babies go, even when they are grown.

    Thank you to susan2396, skinnyjeanz, Robinsegg, and mnwalking for helping me to see the world outside of my own head. While I am not glad that you have to battle the same demons, it does help to know that I do not fight alone. I am feeling pretty good about things this week. My official weigh-in days have been on Wednesdays, but being that I was just refocusing my efforts this week I skipped it. I suppose I will take a peek at the scale on Monday and see what that old thing says about my progress. Even if the results are not what I long for, I know that I am giving it my full attention and effort this week, and I will not be swayed in my determination to rid my body of its flabby coat. Period.

    Friday Fitness: Another great morning workout with my old buddy, Richard Simmons and Sweatin to the Oldies! Our weather is looking to be be pretty today, so I plan to dust off my bike seat and take a ride this afternoon.

    Everyone, have a beautifully healthy day!

    OMG!!! I know this is a little heartless of me, but the babies are driving me crazy today!!! My office literally backs up to a pediatricians office and we have no insulation whatsoever. I know they're probably getting shots and I hate that for them, but listening to babies scream ALL day drives me a little nuts. I think its time to go outside and count to 10. Poor little things.

    Just a quick update. I'm so glad this week is about over, because I'm so over it.

    Sister is in the hospital. Had surgery yesterday, to make a long story short, they found a cyst on her ovary the size of a cantaloupe twisted so much around her ovary that it killed it, forcing them to take the giant cyst, the ovary, and part of her fallopian tube.

    She's 13.

    So I'm going through a bit of a rough patch, but the good news is she is okay, they haven't said whether or not it is cancerous (they don't THINK it is).

    On a different note, I ordered Insanity with the Shakeology yesterday. Here's to achieving my new, healthier me.

    After a couple of posts, I want to get a little more involved in this, so here goes...

    @susancanbethin - I know how you feel, I've just moved away from home, and mum really misses me. I'm a good 5/6 hours away now, and I know it bugs her. But I know she loves it when I come home :) Also, we all have our bad days and can't help but eat rubbish - the main thing is to always stay positive (so much easier said than done, I know!)
    @MyM0wM0w - I absolutely LOVE your cat buggy?! It's ingenious! It may be slightly insane, but who doesn't love some company on their walks?
    @Grandmakay44 - we all cave, it would be evil if we always stopped ourselves from eating what we wanted! Where would be the fun in that?!
    @whitecapwendy - again, we should always let ourselves eat some rubbish now and again :)
    @TOPSmarca - CONGRATS! Can't wait until Monday, so i can weigh myself and see how I'm doing :) 5lbs is incredible!
    @skinnyjeanzbound - well done on not smoking! I'm still, unfortunately, smoking myself. It can be hard to kick the habit, it's so good that you're managing to do it WHILST healthy eating, lots of people really struggle with that!
    @susan2396 - I hope you feel better soon! Good on you for keeping up the healthy eating whilst feeling crud, I always reach for the comfort food!
    @lauriek70 - Sometimes it's hard to make yourself put 100% in to everything, especially a work out. Just keep pushing yourself :D
    @lizmil79 - don't give up! You'll see results soon!
    (That's all the Thursday truths I can see! There are so many of you!! haha)

    So.. Friday:
    In terms of workout, keep busting my bum as usual, do my usual routine (no days off for me right now). I let myself have a little bit of a cheat tonight, I had two slices of bread with dinner, I didn't need them, but I wanted them. I'm trying not to think about it right now, I'll think about it later after my walk and I've burnt those calories off :laugh: Got a lot of uni revision to be doing over the weekend, and, if the weather manages to hold I think I might drag my boyfriend off to the beach to get some rays. Keep myself busy so I don't even think about food!!

    I'm so sorry to hear this, can't imagine how awful it must be to have a member of your family, who's so young, in such a difficult position. Sending hope that there isn't anything worse going on, and glad that's she's now okay.
    In terms of the insanity - I hope that goes well! I've looked at the commercials and it just looks so hard! (Plus, the purse strings are a little tight right now to afford it - over the summer maybe!)

    ebailey - I'm so sorry to hear about your lil sister's surgery - 13 is mighty young to be dealing with such troubles. I will include her in my prayers.

    MowMow - I TOTALLY LOVE the MoWMow carriage - he is one beautiful animal too!

    Friday FItness: Thanks to a suggestion by Laurie a week or so ago, yesterday I dragged out my Wii Fit board and did some stepping exercise, I did three sets of 5 minutes of stepping apiece. THanks Laurie for the suggestion. Now I'm off for the w/e to my BF so I'll miss stepping on Saturday at least, but I'll try to step today before I go and Sunday when I return. Oooh, I've made a public commitment.. Scary. :ohwell:

    So maybe I'll take a break tomorrow :tongue:

    I decided to go on youtube and fine a 30min cardio workout. And came up with a 30min HIIT+ABS Exercise. I still had to modify some moves. But whew I am tired and kind of shakey! It got my HR up for sure! I feel better :happy:

    I will take a break tomorrow, and if anything maybe go for a walk. But I have school from 8-3 anyway so a break tomorrow won't be so bad :)

    if anyone is interested here is the workout :::

    I burned 319 calories in 31 minutes according to my HRM

    Thank you for the prayers, well wishes, and support. She said she was coming home today, I imagine she's home now. She's off school until Wednesday or Thursday. Such a strong little lady.

    Have a Pure Romance party tonight and plan to rock it. Even with this hellish migraine.

    Thursday Truth: I have battled the same demon over and over. I do really well for a while and have some great losses. The losses give my crazy brain a reason to jump into party mode. Party mode for a fluffy girl means what??? Party food, of course! Which leads to a gain, beating myself up, giving up for a while, growing disgusted with my lack of willpower and starting over. I am determined to make permanent changes to improve my life and health. Retraining this old brain is a tough chore... I will get there... I will get there... I will get there...

    On a lighter note, I hope everyone is having a beautiful, healthy, active day!

    i am in exactly the same boat

    So hello everyone hope you are all having a great day. I was real slow getting started today but I think i have made up for it nicely. I got to town and ran some errands and then when i got home I got the house all picked up and cleaned out my fridge. I am fairly sure I must be a glutton for punishment right now. I invited my parents to dinner and am making corned beef and cabbage with potatoes and carrots. I LOVE corned beef so am going to have to be very strict with myslef. And if that wasn't bad enough I decided my daddy needed some homemade chocolate chip cookies. So now the whole house smells like gooey melty yummy chocolate. I dont know how well i am going to do til they get here. I will send most of them home with him.I have had my best fitness week probably in my whole life this past week. I went to the gym every day but today. I will also be going tomorrow and then have Sunday off as well (unless i just get really bored). For the first time in my life I am actually enjoying working out. I love the gym and everyone that works there is really nice. I wanted to try out a couple new cardio machines yesterday and one of the staff was right there to show me how they worked and coach me through it until I got the right form down. One was the rowing machine. Once I got the rythem of it down i loved it. They also have a recumbent elliptical that didnt hurt my knees when I used it. The last one was a machine you sat at and then pedaled like a bike only with your arms instead of your feet. Kinda neat, especailly since most cardio focuses on your legs. Something I was doing was definitley focusing on the glutes cause my butt is SORE today. My husband called from alaska this morning and as a self professed butt man I told him he better appreciate the pain I was going through to give him a gorgeous butt he was allowed to stare at. Well I hope you all have a great friday night. Cya all tomorrow:bigsmile:

    Ebaily I am sending warm healing thoughts your way for your sister. So young to have o go through that poor thing.

    Hi everyone.
    I was off work today, so started my day out being very lazy. Then met my trainer at noon for a workout, ran some errands, and then proceeded to nap for the rest of the afternoon! My allergies are really acting up lately – I don’t feel bad, but feel tired and sound like a frog. I guess that’s why it was so easy to nap this afternoon. :wink:

    @Susancanbethin~I feel your pain, I’m in Texas – you know what they say, if you don’t like the weather wait 5 minutes. :laugh:
    @ebailey~Sorry to hear about your sister, glad surgery went well and she is doing better. Those cysts are rarely cancerous, so hope she receives good news. I’ve been through that more than once, not fun. Good luck with insanity!
    @Kris~That cat stroller is so cute, Zoe would love that!
    @Robin~Good job getting out the Wii Fit, I don’t play with mine near as much as I used to – I used to love the boxing and Kung Fu on there!
    @Tina~Great job with the workouts, you earned that day off from exercise tomorrow!

    Friday Fitness~Its been a good fitness week, including today.

    This week:
    Sunday~Training DONE!
    Monday~Arc Trainer DONE!
    Tuesday~Rest Day
    Wednesday~Training DONE!
    Thursday~Rest Day
    Friday~Training DONE!
    Saturday~Elliptical or bike/row

    Have a good evening!

    Not much fitness today. The long walk yesterday kind of did a number on my left knee. I hope I don't have to have it replaced someday, too. I decided to give myself a break today. I am under calories without the exercise today, so its a good day for a break.
    ebailey--sorry about your sister.
    MowMow--the stroller is cute. I love gold kitties, too.
    Robin--hang in there. You'll get this exercise routine down yet.
    I'm enjoying seeing posts from the new people. Can hardly wait for Sunday to learn more about everyone.
    Today I attended grandparent's day at my granddaughter's school. She is in the third grade. She had written a paper "When I Am a Grandma". It was so funny! I had to park a block away from the school so I guess I did get a little bit of exercise. :wink:
    Have a great evening. Kaye

    Friday Fitness.... UGH NONE!!! With all the changes I am making, and all the client visits and traveling I have done in the past week, I have the vertigo in full swing... literally!!! :laugh: I have to remind myself that change in eating habits is a VERY real change and a physiologic stress to a body that does not do stress well. Adjustment WILL come and THEN I can get busy with adding exercise more regularly!!! Patience!!!!:noway: NOT my strong suit!!!

    Just a note, because it is my field and I have some personal experience with it too, she should not have to worry about future fertility with only one ovary and tube. When there is just one, it responds to the hormones every cycle rather than alternating with the other ovary..... And I have 4 kids to prove that:wink: !!! Prayers for a speedy recovery and NO further issues!!!

    poor thing. 13 is young to go through that. I have PCOS and have had this same experience pretty recently, though certainly not cantaloupe sized, and they are almost always not cancerous. Please don't worry too much about that. She should be fine and as TOPSmarca said fertility really shouldn't be an issue for her though obviously that isn't her primary concern at her age. Torsion is really scary, poor thing. Prayers for her from another soul cyster.

    Friday Fitness: NONE!!! This week I've felt miserable with a cold/allergy. Not sure, but I can barely keep my eyes open. Our weather is gorgeous though so I'm really going to push myself to get out for a walk Saturday and Sunday. I plan to have a little sun/pool time too so I need to get my exercise in. I need to quit bragging about the pool time as some of you (Skinny) is still battling wind and even snow (yuck!!!).

    @Kelly - I'm so glad you enjoyed your day off and it sounds productive enough. Afternoon nap? Good for you!!!!
    @ebailey - At 13? Wow!! I can't even imagine dealing with something so serious at that age. My son turns 11 in a few weeks and I'm not sure how I would handle something so serious. Kids are pretty resilient though and us parents are the wimps. Prayers for a speedy recovery.
    @Susan - Luckily, my weather in Vegas is so much better than Atlanta. We were miserable there with the allergies. Vegas has definitely been better and with the dryer heat versus humidity.
    @Tina - I'm so proud of you and finding fitness that works. I need to follow your lead. Enjoy your day tomorrow even though you'll be in school. You're grabbing the bull by the horn and riding like no tomorrow. Good for you!!!!!
    @Robin - My son has a Wii, but I've barely turned the thing on. We don't have the board though, but I should really utilize it more that's for sure with some of the other activities.
    @TOPS - Just changing our eating habits is a big life change. In the beginning, I tried to change everything overnight, which of course I failed. I've got the logging now and hit 260 days (Woo Hoo!!). Now it's making good food choices on a regular basis. While I may stay under calories, there not the most nutritious days, but it's getting better every day. Exercise is my hardest part that's why I always dread Friday Fitness. Hopefully, I'll get back in the swing of it and actually yearn for it (hasn't happened yet). LOL!!

    Hello Everyone, :flowerforyou:

    So happy for the weekend. We dont have any big plans just the normal catching up on some much needed housework, going to the Y. Planning on going to the flea market and the farmers market in Boise. But I am really looking forward to just relaxing and enjoying time with my family.

    @ebailey. Sorry to hear about your sister.
    @MyMowMow love your stroller.
    @Robin hang in there you will get that new exercise program down.
    @Kaye that sounds like a very sweet time at your granddaughter 's school.

    I need to get going.

    Wishing everyone a good Saturday.
    Keep drinking that water and logging in all of your food. It so helps.
    :drinker:

    Sat success: I realize I can't change some things, just have to accept them best I can. Focusing on doing 'Tops'.
    Do bad things always happen in threes? These last 2 weeks have been a really emotional time.
    I wrote a longer post about it and deleted it...too upsetting.

    Think, I'll bundle up and go out for a walk...brrrrr! where is the warm weather.

    Getting back on track today. Made a yummy smoothie with fresh fruit and yogurt, and am going to play with my resistance cables later.

    I also need to get my back adjusted, OUCH.

    Saturday Success: Even with eating terribly and not working out this week, I have managed to maintain my weight loss. This makes me happy.
