    How did everybody do with the exercise today? I did not do so well. I have REALLY fallen into a rut with that and am having a hard time getting out. I just cannot find the time for the gym. I watch my nephew from 6AM-5PM, have dinner, then go to school. I have started doing Couch to 5k and have been going to the track at 5AM but idk if it is something I can keep up. 5 is just too early! Do you guys have any ideas of how I can get some exercise while home with a baby?

    Exercise dvds! Those are the only workouts I do and they're great. I have a bunch of them. Jillian Michaels, The Firm, TaeBo, Jari Love, and a few others. I don't think I would be able to make it to the gym or what not every day, so they really help me out! Oh.. I just bought Chalean Extreme too and I'm planning on starting it March 1 (if it gets here in time...)

    But I'm proud of myself! So far this week I've gotten back into the swing of working out.. it's just eating that I'm still having problems with. I'm working on that too though, and it's gotten *better* as well. So I'm still hopeful lol!

    Good morning ladies, got my workout in last night and burned thru 500 cals of P90x.

    Amanda: would definately suggest workout DVD's anything that you like, especially ones that are cardio. I love my Turbo Jam DVD's that's all I really like to do and when u are pressed for time there's a 20minute workout that really makes u burn.

    Have a great day everyone.

    I totally blew it tonight. I have lost 13 pounds since the holidays (after gaining some!) and am very proud of myself for that. But I swear... every single time I am ALMOST out of the 160's, I blow it! I weighed in at 160.8 at the beginning of the week and have already gained 2 lbs since. My dad came home with pastries tonight, and I totally indulged. I haven't been eating much processed foods, so I hope I get sick for eating that crap!

    Which brings me to another point... what is it with family members sabotaging you? I cook nutritious meals for 4 people every single night. My dad has lost 15 pounds by simply eating what I make for dinner. They thank me by bringing that crap home?

    Grrrr, sorry for venting, but I am so frustrated! I start to feel good about myself around 158 (when THOSE jeans fit) and then GREAT around 153 (when THOSE jeans are loose.) I do not understand why I never let myself get there.

    good morning ladies. i actually feel great today, i don't know why, because that TOM is around the corner. i can feel it, too. but i'll just keep at it. maybe it's because i looked in the mirror and i'm starting to see a big difference. i still have my stomach but not as bad. i was going to put my before and after pictures, but i don't know how and plus i think i might wait.

    Good morning :flowerforyou:

    I haven't been doing too bad this week on the challenge. I made it out Tuesday and Wednesday evenings for a jog and run, so I was pretty happy. That was my first time out for 2 days in a row since like October. I didn't make it out last night though. I was feeling sick all day yesterday and it continued into the night so I just curled up on the couch and got some r&r.

    I'm hoping to make it out for a jog tonight but I'm not sure if I will have time, as well we are suppossed to get about 25 mil of rain today. But, if the weather is nice and I have time I will be out there (I'm not making excuses not to go - promise! :noway: )

    Hope everyone has a great day!

    Thanks for the challenge. The only day I haven't exercised was yesterday because I was in a semi funk. But, I am back in it today and will exercise for the last three days in February. :smile:

    Awesome! I am going to be buying Chalean Extreme from someone on Craigslist soon. :smile: I have P90X too - but want to wait to do that for graduate school (so I can set up the pull up bar, etc, in my apartment), so I figured I could try Chalean sooner. :smile:

    Also, my weight loss is over two weeks - I didn't weigh in last week, so you shouldn't count me in the week percentages lost because 1.5 is over two weeks. It has been weird. I weigh in on Wednesdays too for another group and I have gotten down to 160.5 a couple weeks ago, but it must have just been a glimpse because i have been up and down between 160 and 165 the last couple weeks.

    When I get it, I will be sure to let you know! :bigsmile: I need to start changing it up because my body is plateauing / sticking around a certain weight.
