Hey clan--
Nutty day-- surprise visit threw us for a loop schedule wise-- somewhat productive day. Hubs is working on the refrigerator water line, Aaron got the Christmas lights off the house, laundry going-- you know, usual Saturday kinda stuff.
Found my old 55 minute Taebo Ultimate Abs video. A lot easier to do than the last time I did it-- woo-- go me. Have no idea how to calculate the calories burned. Hubs bought me a "Sportline" heartrate monitor for Christmas, but don't know how accurate it is. It has me at 385 calories for 45 minutes of taebo. Online calculator has it at over 600 calorie burn.
Either way, for tonight, I was done eating (with the exception of the apple I just had) but I logged the lower calorie burn.
Heading to work-- later, peeps.0 -
Evening Black Team-
Roni- Way to go on the pull ups. that machine is cool stuff!
Shuntae-That running group sounds awesome. We have a Triathlon club in my town that I am looking to join, they do group rides and runs so I think it will be fun to get out there with a group.
Jan-Nice run and awesome calorie burn
Marla- Glad you got some time with the MIL.
Well I've been quiet which means I am on the road and working. The rare weekend that I work. I am helping out a co-worker by working the Bangor Maine Bridal Show. Bridal show's arent really my thing but I helped him last year and figured I'd help him out again this year. Day one was pretty successful and my co-worker commented on what a schmoozer I was tonight. He said he was amazed at how well I did and I realized that I am a much more confident fella than I was a year ago. lol.
Got to the hotel this afternoon and ironed my pretty boy clothes. Realized I only had about a half hour before I was going to have to hit the shower so I didnt have time to make the fitness room so I got inventive and did a little circuit of jumping jacks, butt kicks and push ups in my room. 20 mins and a quick 250 cals burned felt good. Had to meet adam (my co-worker) at 99 for dinner so I went with the baked cod, baked potato and steamed broccoli. Seemed like one of the better options availabe, I HATE resturant food because you never know. Did you know that their is 33 friggin grams of fat in that piece of fish. Holy cow, damn travelling sucks. Still came in under my calories but a bit high in the fat area. Anyway, I think I am gonna curl up with a book and call it a night. One more day at the Bridal Show before I get to go home.
Night team!

Hey guys I just popped in for a minute to report to Lori
I tried out the assisted pull up machine at the gym today. I set the resistance (is it still called resistance when it offsets your weight?) anyhoo...I set it to where I was actually only lifting about 60 lbs of my body weight. And I did 20 yes TWENTY!!:drinker: Ok, so it wasnt all my body weight, but its a start
Oh yeah, and I didnt fall off of it but I did bump my head on one of the bar thingys at the top:ohwell: I dont think anyone saw it though, I looked around and didnt see anyone looking at me:blushing:
Have a great night guys:flowerforyou:
That is so cool! I started at 120 and am at 70-80 now! I love that dang machine!!0 -
Hello all...Had a busy Saturday but made it to the gym. My HRM didn't count my cals so I will return it and try to find the one Amanda got. Off to bed now. Sleep well.0
-
Happy lunchtime from across the pond..... been tidying up and getting things sorted and while the boys had lunch I went on the bike and turned up the resistance. Still burnt 500 calories in 30mins but my thigh muscles are feeling it and I am so hot an sweaty. Going to go and grab a shower before the guests arrive and hopefully I can have this one alone!
Marla (or any other Jets fans), what time is the game on today?0 -
Morning team. 2nd weekend day in a row, up before 6 AM. Grrrrr. :grumble: The kids don't have school tomorrow, maybe I'll sleep in then cause I know for sure come Tuesday when I have to get up, I sure won't wanna!
I think I'm headed out to get groceries in a bit. The commissary opens at 7, but only if I want to do self check out... and for all I get, I don't. But if I get there around 8 and shop, by the time the cashiers show up at 9 I'll be ready to check out and it will be fairly painless. As painless as getting groceries can be anyway. I need to take stock and see what is needed before I head out. I haven't done that the last few times and I have a lot of certain things and none of other things.
In my anal cleaning obsession here of late I have been researching the Shark Steam Pocket mop. Gets great reviews. I might have to go find me one. I know Bed, Bath and Beyond sell it Andrew! :bigsmile: Unfortunately it's the wrong direction from where I'm headed. I would love something to clean my laminate floors and have them look good. They never do. Between the kids and a 110 pound large slobbery dog, floors are a pain in the backside.
Alrighty friends, I'm rambling. Guess I should get ready devise list of some sorts. Have a wonderful Sunday!0 -
I just got done doing 7 miles on the treadmill. I ran 6.2 miles (10K) and then walked the rest on a 4% incline. This is a HUGE accomplishment for me since I haven’t ran a 10K in over 4 years. I guess there is a thing such as muscle memory. I’m especially ecstatic doing this at 180 lbs. I use to run at 120 lbs so this is a really BIG deal. Now, I don’t know if my joints agree, but they’ll have to adjust (LOL).
-Shaunte and Samantha you inspired me to go that long.
~Jan
That is FABULOUS Jan!!:drinker: :drinker: I gotta tell you, you have put some stuff in my head and turned on a light bulb for me. I was reading your post and then got to the part about you doing that at 180 lbs and now I cant quit thinking about it. I thought about it all night in fact:blushing:
I am fairly close to that weight now (less than 20 lbs) and although I add a little "boosted walking" (gentle jogging) to my outdoor walks, I've never run for more than 60 seconds at a time before I bring it back down to a walk. And I dont AT ALL on the treadmill. I watch others run/jog as Im doing my fast walk (4.2 mph is fast for me lol) and I WANT to try it but I have this image in my head of myself losing my balance and rolling aff the back of the treadmill in front of everyone:ohwell:
I envy all the runners on here. I read their posts about their runs and I think "I REALLY want to do that!" Then I think about how much smaller they are than me and think I cant do it.
I've been really challenging myself alot lately (maybe its something in the water?:laugh: ) And now you have inspired me to "think more" (:blushing: ) about trying to start to run. Oh, these fears of mine!!:grumble: By the way, where the heck is Marla with her SNAP OUT OF IT smiley thingy?? Oh yeah, I think its a Jets day?
Anyway, thank you for sharing that Jan.:flowerforyou:0 -

Thanks Andrew!
I know what you mean about restaurant food. You think your making a good choice and then are quite thrown when you log it to see some of the nutrition info!:grumble: They just had a segment on the local news here about how they did an investigation on restaurants and what they "say" is the lowfat low-cal menu options. Turned out that a huge number of places were way off on what they were claiming the calorie and fat content and such were. They used specific places for examples on what the restaurant claims as compared to what they found it to actually be. I tell you it was sad, scary and mind-blowing. Makes you never want to eat out:ohwell:
Way to go on utililizing what you had available to you and getting a good workout in!:drinker:
By the way, how is Beth? Isnt she with her Grandmother this weekend? I hope all is well, please give her our love.0 -

That is so cool! I started at 120 and am at 70-80 now! I love that dang machine!!
I think 120 might be what I had it set on? Not for sure because I had another gym member show me how to use it and he set it at what he thought I might need as a beginner and then showed me how to change it if it was still to hard. It was:ohwell: So I climbed back off the machine and changed the weight...so it was either 120 BEFORE I changed it, or I changed it to that? :laugh:0 -

RONI DID IT! RONI DID IT! I'm so happy you tried and cranked out 20! Just think when you weigh 60 pounds, you'll be pull up queen. :noway: :laugh: Ok, maybe not. But you'll get stronger as you do it and eventually be lifting 70 pounds, then 80.....
I'm so happy for you! I can't stop smiling! I love that the accomplishments of others are as satisfying as my own.
Speaking of... I have to do a few more pull ups today. :huh: I was so busy I forgot until just a bit ago. Did 3 this morning, than 2 before I ironed, so 2 more to make my goal. I think I'll do 'em now and call it a day. I'm exhausted!
RONI DID IT! RONI DID IT!
Thanks Lori! Im pretty proud of me too:blushing: :blushing: I felt like I was walking the plank or something as I was walking up to that machine and it kept getting bigger and bigger in my mind the closer I got to it!!:laugh: But Im like that. Im sort of a creature of habit and anything new or different makes me nervous lol. Hopefully when I try it again today, I wont be so clumsy and nervous!! Plus, I will pay attention to exactly what I have the weight set on:blushing:
Thank you Lori:flowerforyou:
P.S. Did you get those last pullups in last night? 0 -

Roni when I started out on the treadmill I started out walking at 3mph I think I started jogging at about 200 pounds but only at like 3.5. I really started slow. Now after about a year I can do 1 mile at 8 miles per hour. SO I'm still kind of slow but If you just keep at it you WILL be able to do this!!!0 -
Good morning everyone!
Tanya--Hope you have a great time with all the kiddos at the parties today!
Shuntae--Wow, what an awesome run girl!:drinker: You certainly earned a great dinner out:flowerforyou: By the way, I count all those point whatevers in my miles too. We did em, they count!:happy:
Donna--How was your dinner out with the family? I love those. I wish my family didnt all live so far away so I could have some of those too. Im from Kentucky and thats where all my sisters and cousins and my parents and everyone lives. (Thats around 6 hrs away). I see them alot throughout the year, but not as much as I'd like to:frown: Treasure those times!
Marla--I am so happy that you got to spend some time with the MIL. I know how much you love her and that it breaks your heart to not have her there with your family:brokenheart: I'm praying that the situation changes soon:flowerforyou:
Tammy--Good for you on making it to them gym!!:drinker: :drinker:
Oh, one more thing Marla....way to go on kicking butt on that old Taebo Abs video!!:drinker: Its a great feeling to try those "old" workouts and see how much easier they seem to get as we get stronger isnt it?:happy:
Well guys, today is normally my rest day from the gym and "structured" exercise. But I missed this past Wednesday so Im making it up today. Not gonna go crazy though, just a light workout. Today is my legs day (YAY!!) so other than my pullups and my pushups it should be a good day at the gym:laugh:
I mentioned back at the start of this weeks challenge that I dont have a scale for weighing my food. Well, Im looking into getting one. Is there anything I should know before deciding on which one to buy? I cant go to expensive, but I dont want it to be crappy either. Is the main thing that its digital? What do you guys use?
Have a beautiful Sunday everyone!:flowerforyou:0 -

Thank you Sam. That really gives me encouragement!!:flowerforyou: Can I ask you...when you started jogging, did you just start jogging at your top walking speed? Im sure this is going to sound silly, but did you hold on to the side bars at first? I ask that because I am really scared to "let go". Even when Im walking at 4.2, I am holding on to the top part of the treadmill (up where the gym has the TV attached to it). I have a huge fear of letting go:frown:0 -
Happy Sunday everyone...Going to do a quick Shred DVD and then off to church. Hope everyone has a good day. Weighed 173 this morning, which is down 16 pounds from when I first started last November. I lost a few pounds before I joined MFP so I didn't count them.
Roni...Sorry, my scale is the old kind, not digital, but it works.0 -

I never hold on. maybe you should slow down alittle bit and then let go. does your treadmill have an emergency cord on it. one tht will turn off the treadmill if you pull on it? if so, clip that to your shirt or your shorts and then LET GO!! swinging your arms gets your heart beating faster too.(more calories burned) hahahahaha!!!0 -
lots going on here this morning-- be back to read--
Thanking God this day for his divine intervention.
Long story short-- very discouraged by the weight gain from the medicine....working my *kitten* off (yes, I said it) doing very well on calories and water intake-- and am up 2.5 today from Wednesday.
Yes, I know medicines-- weight fluctuation-- but, reallllllllllllllllly feeling frustrated, pissy, crappy, grumpy-- in short, low.
SOOOOOOO-- I was just at the grocery store cashing some WIC checks with my son. He asked me to buy a bag of day old doughnuts from the bakery. Not only did I put them in my cart, but was planning on enjoying one or two on the way home from the store. What the heck-- doing "right" is only adding pounds, may as well enjoy myself.
Got up to the cash register and realized I left my debit card on the kitchen windowsill-- couldn't buy the donuts.
Off to make bacon for the family-- not going to indulge. Sodium, fat-- blech. But, the sale last week was too great, so making the family a treat.
Later, my team..0 -

Yep, it does have an emergency cord on it. Im going to try slowing the pace some this morning (wow, its almost afternoon already) and not holding on. I usually dont hold on during my warmup thats at a slower pace, but once I get warmed up and increase my speed...I hang on:ohwell: So are you saying that even though my speed will be slower, if I dont hold on to allow me to pump my arms while I walk I will burn just as much or better calories as I do in the faster speed while holding on?0 -

Roni, I think that is confidence in your body. I did the same thing, then as Sam mentions I used the rip cord....still had my hands by the bars the whole time, at 3.8 (short legs)
Once I worked my way up the that...I let go with the rip cord and found my body had better balance with my hands free to move naturally. If you see the Biggest Losers on their marathon runs....there hands are lose with elbows bent....I swear this helps me with speed. Arms down, slow.....hands holding...slow...........move arms....WHOOSH!!! (:laugh: oh whizzzz is more like it at 4.5)
Point is I worked my way up to it!
Good luck! I am so proud of you for trying new things! We ROCK dont we!!????0 -

P.S. Did you get those last pullups in last night?
The trainer told me to always remember it is the opposite of all other machines.
On other machines you start light 10 pounds or whatever and work your way up
On that one you start heavy and get lighter. So she had me put it on my weight the 1st time to show me how it felt....like nothing because it was counter acting all of my weight.
So every week I went down 10 pounds and now I am at 80 I think. I do 3 sets of 15 so I am at a heavier weight and more reps.
I LOVE that machine!! :blushing:0 -

I had a friend once tell me that she had NEVER experienced a miracle in her life, and was jealous that I had. I explained it is all in how you view it, many small miracles happen all the time.
We went into a jewelry store, where she was NOT supposed to be, and she didnt have her credit card. MIRACLE> ! boom!0 -
Ok, so besides that wonderful Philly Cheesesteak I had last night, I have the food thing under control. I am going down to 1200 tomorrow to force me to work out. I love how I feel when I work out, but have been overly attached to this little box in my lap to go and do it!
I figure if I only have 1200 like I did when I first started long, long ago................I will " Work for food"
I promise to work out M-W-Fr and either Sat or Sun this one week. Will not look anyfurther..........
The water is up, the food is down, now I need my C25k on!!
Have a great day Team!0 -
Indeed, Jeannie-- (pardon the following Christianity-- ahem) since I believe in a sovereign God, I believe that there is no coincidence-- all is by His hand. I wanted to do something today that wasn't right for me, and couldn't-- I'll give him the glory for it.
Just finished frying 4 pounds of bacon. I have some happy kids right about now. Shoulda taken pictures-- the sight of Caleb and Joshie, mouths full, hand greasy, beaming from ear to ear......bliss, my friends.
Jets game today-- J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets!!!0 -

I'm gonna join you, Jeannie-- rather thought about it on Wednesday after weigh-in-- and popped back to one pound per week by Friday morning, which gives me 1500 calories.
Not very hopeful that much is gonna make a difference right now. I need to get in touch with the doctor and see if there is any other course of treatment with less bloating and gain. STILL-- need to try.

Afternoon Team!
Had a fairly productive morning today -couple loads of laundry, some straightening up, and BF and his dad installed our new light fixture in the kitchen. It's rainy out and TOM decided to pay me a visit (:grumble: but not really, if you know what I mean), but for whatever reason I'm not feeling super lazy. On my way out to hit the gym for some light cardio and weights ...and thanks to Roni and Lori, I am going to use the pull up machine. Trying something new never hurt anyone, right? I'll let you know how it goes. Best part -I still get to watch football, because they put it on one of the TVs there. Double awesome!0 -
Dh is happy. cuz of youall I got my booty up and cleaned the bathroom, kitchen and took out the garbage. Move Jeannie, MOOOOVE!:laugh:0

Happy lunchtime from across the pond..... been tidying up and getting things sorted and while the boys had lunch I went on the bike and turned up the resistance. Still burnt 500 calories in 30mins but my thigh muscles are feeling it and I am so hot an sweaty. Going to go and grab a shower before the guests arrive and hopefully I can have this one alone!
Marla (or any other Jets fans), what time is the game on today?

Hey guys, got my groceries, got them put away, made homemade vege soup and some banana bread. Now I have to do laundry and try out my steam mop that I felt the need to purchase.
My vege soup was good, so much better for me than store bought stuff, just wish it came with a label....lol. I used london broil for the meat, so fairly low fat beef, a bag of mixed veges, a can of crushed tomatoes and a can of tomato sauce, oh and about half a head of cabbage. That can't be so bad, right? I could roughly figure out the calories of the whole crockpot, but even then it would be hard to know how many servings are in there.
Um, Sam, you said you are running slow at 8 MPH? Yeah, whatever. I am a snail at my comfy pace of 5.3ish then. I can run a 6 MPH mile, but I would rather not. :bigsmile: I am happy going slower. I have had the treadmil to 7.5 MPH I think and it's fast. I'm afraid to crank it anymore. Too scary. I can't hold that pace for very long, that's like a sprint.
I don't walk very fast, usually I set it on 4 MPH, sometimes only 3.8. My legs are not that long and it's hard to move that fast. I do set the incline to about 4% and I do not hold on. My HR gets up there. You actually don't have to work as hard if you are holding on, so leave go, swing those arms and move!0 -
Marla, thank you mate thats 9.30pm, and as I am responding to you Rob is programming SKy so that he can watch it later.
Will say good night all, busy day with party for boys and now need to tidy up..... see you tomorrow all, t xx0
