    I got a good 40 min walk in today at lunch. So, I felt good about that.
    Other then that, just keeping low key. Dealing with family issues.
    My mom, who is a breast cancer survivor, has a tumor on her adrenal gland. So, she was at the dr's today for some scans.
    We're hoping and praying it's benign!!!

    shutterbug4674- I'm sorry to hear that about your mom. I'm sending some prayers your way.

    chrissyh- Thanks for the concern. On my day off I do 20 minute yoga or 20 minute stretch and listen to my body when it is in pain.

    Is it related? When your Mom had breast cancer did she have lumpectomy or mastectomy? How many years ago? I am full of questions being a survivor myself. I was diagnosed at 34 and had bi-lateral mastectomy-now a 4 year survivor.

    She's strong - she's a fighter - she will overcome this obstacle as she did the last!

    I did the last chance workout with Jillian and WOW do I feel it tonight holy crap. Lifting my arms even hurt. Which means it worked I guess. WOW is all I have to say. So I think I'm going to stay with that workout for a couple of weeks when Im not on the treadmill.

    shutterbug4674 - so sorry to hear about your mom. Will be thinking of you.

    j_g4ever - high five for the killer work out!

    I did level 2 and level 3 of the 30 day shred this morning. I won't have a chance to workout tonight. Back to the gym tomorrow AM with a spinning class and maybe a 30 min jog.

    Happy Friday Blues!! Have a great weekend!

    Happy Friday Everybody!!!!

    I'm looking closely at my food diary and I've noticed that since I have started snacking on "healthy" treats my sodium levels have gone up. So I adjusted my sodium level to 1500 because I searched here on MFP and saw that Dr. Oz recommends that level. It just seems that my body has been retaining water. I also noticed that it helps to drink extra water, above 10 cups to get rid of the sodium and get rid of the water weight.

    I'll be doing my workout in a few minutes while my toddler naps. I'll do Shaun T's Insanity Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs. I'm totally hooked on this workout. I have never sweated so much in my life. It's like insane; Kinda like a boot camp/ plyometrics/ army training; just really challenging.

    I'm set on getting a loss this week, so I'll be tracking my food diary to see if I notice any changes in my eating.

    Have a great day all!!!!

    Ok so I know it hasn't been long since I proclaimed that I was going to start all over however, I did it I stepped on the damn scale. :sad: I should just exercise I need the extra calories right now. I'm SO in love with my peanut butter and choc. chips mixed together at night. I make sure to eat it 3 hrs before I go to bed. And I always make sure that I have enough calories. Is that was killing me here. O man.

    BTW I figured out my calories that I can consume every week that includes me burning 800 calories per day. That way I can vary how many from day to day.

    Found out why I gained the weight. I have myself in starvation mode. I was figuring my calories wrong after reading Jillian's book I didn't completly understand and now after looking at my excel document my husband helped me figure it out. So now I have to get myself out of this starvation mode and eat some food.

    j_g4ever- Awesome job on staying positive and continuing on your weight loss journey. Sometimes we have to change things here and there, but we will make it! I just picked up a copy of the book you're reading by Jillian, winning by losing, and I'll be reading it. Best wishes to you!!!
