May Day Challenge! Take 2!

So I didn't tell you guys the funniest part of my morning workout. Since it snowed, I didn't put my dog outside, and she watched me workout for the first time. She added to the experience, but not necessarily in a helpful way. For the first ten minutes, she just tried to get me to play with her, as she saw no other reason for the activity that I was doing. After that, she gave up and decided that she wanted to lay at my feet. Well, she kind of overlapped on the Wii balance board, so that was also less than helpful! Anyway, she was really cute and made me smile. Hope all are having a great day!

So like it or not, here I am for my weekly weigh in! I keep telling myself this is a lifestyle change and that I didn't gain the weight overnight, however right now I would like it taken off overnight Oh well, I suppose this is character building and looking at all of your weight loss progress is very inspiring. In light of my goals, I have added water to my meals, and made it to the pool twice....nothing like swimming for cardio and my calves are still pretty tight so that is encouraging. My goal for this week is to make it to body boot camp at the gym on Tues and Thurs with a coworker (trust me, my gym hasn't seen me in 4 months so this really is a worthy goal).

Start 134....

So I'm sick right now:sad: , I woke up really late today and I didn't get chance to weigh myself so I will post tomorrow but I'm pretty sure I didn't lose anything because this week didn't start out well and didn't get much better. I'll be better next week :happy:

Good morning ladies, I still feel like crap but I did get up and get the workout in. I completed 2 1/2 miles of the Leslie Sansone dvd for a total of 30 minutes. I wanted to take a minute to log in but now its back to bed for some well needed R & R.

Congratulations are in order for all the ladies who are eating healthy, getting their workouts in and losing weight. Every pound counts and before you know it we will all have met our weight loss goal. Keep up the great work ladies.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Found this in someone else's post, and it was interesting. If anyone is cooking for one, there is also a free downloadable Shop once, eat for a week link on it also. I actually thought it was good to look at even though I cook for two or more, I could adapt some of the ideas on it.

Good morning ladies, while my cramps have subsided this cold doesn't appear to be playing fair. Today my throat has started to hurt along w/the sneezing, sniffling, running nose, headache, body aches. I have been able to get some well needed rest and once I'm done posting it's back to bed again. Despite how I felt I was able to pull myself out of bed and put on my workout clothes and get the workout in. I did 2 1/2 miles of the Leslie Sansone dvd for a total of 30 minutes.

Ktbell626

Good Morning All, like Chocolickkyss I have a cold too! I've lost my voice, hopefully I'll find it soon. I took a few days off and focused on getting better. But I don't want to be away for too long because I know I'll fall right back into bad eating habits. Sorry I didn't post Friday or Saturday like I said I would. I was just really tired. I didn't lose any weight this week but it was a bad one to begin with anyway. Next week will be better!

I am NOT having a good day. THe scale is starting to move the wrong direction. I need to stop this before it gets to far out of hand.I need to work on my eating habbits I know that is my biggest weakness

Chocolickkyss

My workout is complete for today. Since it wasn't freezing outside I decided to walk/jog around the local park. My hat goes off to all you joggers/runners b/c it's really not my cup of tea. The wind was knocking me all in my face and at times a bit difficult for me to get a nice steady breathing pace b/c I could feel the wind in my throat. Anyway, I did that for 45 minutes and totally unsure how many miles that was but in all honesty I could care less. I exercised and felt like I gave it a good effort

kath711

Didn't post on Friday but was up a pound. Can't seem to get back on track. I am so hungry all the time right now. I don't know if it is the cold weather or winter blues or what. Plus, today two of my kids are home with the stomach flu and I was up half the night with my little one. I need some warmer weather!!!

amboardman

So I have a stomach virus...out of commission for a few days! Hope to feel better soon!:sick:

Smadag, what's the deal w/the eating habits? What were you doing that helped you lose weight and what's being done now?

I have been slipping back into bad habbits. My hubby's uncle lives with us now and he loves chocolate and ice cream and I have found myself enjoying them with him.But I have stopped eating the chocolate and have gotten some skinny cow ice cream for the nights I want to have a sweet treat. I am back on track but now I have to lose what I have put back on

smadag1

I did the shred last night but I am having knee pain now so I am not sure what to do now. I have always had bad knees but they have not hurt after a workout in a long time so I might need ot do some modifications for a while until they start feeling better. Two workouts so far this week:drinker:

Chocolickkyss

My workout is complete for today. I did 58 minutes of the P90X Plyometrics dvd and despite not being at 100% due to still getting over this cold I felt that I "brought it" as Tony Horton often says.

Smadag, I'm glad you've gotten yourself back on track. We will all have those days when it's easier to eat what we want so don't let it get you down. The fact that you've gotten yourself back on track is what's important. I'm glad you found some better options for those days that you decide to have a sweet treat. Here's to better choices and modification. You can do it and we're all here to support you while you do.

Well it's off to do some work but I'll be checkin in w/my ladies later.

Have a great day.

Feeling better today, just drugged from the Phenergan I took last night. Still not feeling up to a big workout, but I think I may walk on my afternoon break at work. Why does it take so long to feel normal again after a stomach bug? It just really drains everything out of you...:ohwell:

tflowers56

Is it too late to join. I've been tracking my food and exercise for a couple of weeks and need some more motivation....you know accountability!!!

I totally agree with you. I'm still recovering from a bad cold that hit me hard this weekend. While I did manage to workout despite not being 100% I didn't do any high intensity. I completed the Leslie Sansone 5 mile burn fat dvd which at least kept me active. I'm feeling better today but still not quite 100% but was able to complete the P90X Plyometrics dvd. I'm hoping I'll feel like myself by next week and hopefully you will too. Just remember to stay hydrated.

Feel better soon!

Here is where I'm starting....I have a ski trip planned next month and would love to loose 5-10 more pounds before going. It sure will make it easier to pick myself up off the snow when I fall. LOL ~ I also have a end of July summer vacation planned and would LOVE to be down another 10 - 15 pounds by then.
So wish me GOOD EATS AND EXERCISING!!!!

Welcome!

Sorry I've been MIA this weekeveryone! It's been busy one! Friday was a snow day! Yea! Unfortunately, that means that I didn't get any of the stuff done for the concession stand my music kids were scheduled for yesterday. Soooo, I ended up driving an hour out of my way after school on Monday, shopping at Walmart with 2 small children, and arrived back at school with 15 minutes to spare. Whew. So yesterday was a HECTIC day! I didn't get my exercise in, but I spent 3 extra hours on my feet running the stand that I wouldn't usually do. Today was recover and get things put back to rights day. The good news is that we profitted $300! We have one more stand next Monday, so between the two, the kids are well on their way to buying the marching banner they want.

Sorry for the ramble! I haven't been too swift with exercise and water this week. I got in 1 workout this weekend, and none since. I don't think I've hit my water goal a single time yet this go round.:grumble: Gotta get with it!

Remember: If not you, who? If not now, when?

Keep at it!:drinker:
