    Back to Monday work week yall!

    I always struggle with the weekends. I really like the mini-challenges tho! They are easy enough and help keep everyone accountable. I need to kick it back into gear because I really dont know if Im going to make my goals if I keep going this way. Great during to the week, not so great durring the weekend.

    Keep the motivating words coming!

    This is me too! I am great during the week, but the weekends kill me:cry:
    I just keep thinking, I just need to work on one thing at a time. Right now I am working on excercising at least 4 days a week and staying within my calorie goals. I hope I can do it this week.
    Hooray for Mondays, so we can get back on track!:flowerforyou:

    GRRRRR so went to spin last night and it the instructor was a no show :grumble:
    wasn't too happy about that, esp since I had already had 3 of my home made granola treats :ohwell:
    healthy in moderation :laugh: lol

    anyhow, spin today at lunch, 40 min instead of an hour, and then 75 min of zumba tonight to kick self into gear, instructors choice tomorrow at lunch (some sort of circuit work) and then spin and zumba on thursday again. hoping to motivate myself to go to muscle pump on saturday at 9 am though i really enjoy my sleeping in the one day of the week, so will see. I wish it was at 10. :bigsmile:

    hope everyone is having a great week

    PG :flowerforyou:

    If you are looking for a new work out that is mostly cardio, Insanity with Shawn T is great.
    I can't do all of the moves but I still sweat my @$$ off anyway.
    My weekend was ok till I went to Panara bread and ordered a dozen bagles, it went down hill from there. Oh and the cotten candy at the circus didn't help either.
    Back on track now that they are gone.

    Hey just checking in... went to the gym last night. I did weights and 2 miles run/walk. Its nice to force yourself to get the week started right! I am OFF TRACK for our weigh in goal.... and also off track for my march goal. Not pleased with myself, but I think if i really buckledown I can hit my own personal march goal (or at least get close). Hope evryone is doing well.

    Any motivational words and stories are welcome!

    Melissa, your words couldn't have come to me at a better time. I've totally gone over my calories today, but it's time to bounce back! Thanks for the boost!

    Missy inspired me with her encouraging words, so...

    My weight has fluctuated a lot this past week due to TOM, but... I did 100 crunches Sunday, and another 100 tonight. They were _really_ hard -- but I finally got to 100. It took me about 40 days to achieve this. I put in the work -- the time, the sweat -- and it paid off.

    Success can be measured in more ways than just the numbers on a scale.

    Did you choose to eat something healthy today, rather than fast food? Did you get your body moving with some exercise? Did you drink enough water? Did you mess up, but forgave yourself and vowed to do better tomorrow?

    Every day is a new chance to do something good for ourselves. Every day is a new opportunity to lay a strong foundation for a healthy future. Every day is a gift, to be treasured -- make the most out of it. Be more forgiving -- of others, AND of yourself. Try something new -- you might like it. Challenge yourself to do something that terrifies you -- you wont know how strong you are until you try. Be with the people that you love, do the things that give you joy, and appreciate all that life has to offer you. Make today the best day you can -- and do the same every day afterward. Smile, laugh, love. Most importantly, love yourself. It's the greatest gift of all.

    no change in weight today, which i suspected (maybe by my friday personal WI)
    but I still feel good about it as I have been working out hard lately

    as I mentioned before i did spin and zumba yesterday, today am doing a circuit type class, then tomorrow more spin and zumba.

    I have also been getting more water in which is hard for me.

    ok here are my numbers for this week:

    I'm 264 lbs today, mi mini goal for next week is 262.

    I was 263.5 sunday, it always seems that I gain .5-1.5 lbs early in the week but loose more towards the end....weird!


    Good luck all!

    Mini goal for 3/10: 161

    I have had a mini goal of 160 by St. Patty's for awhile, looks like I might be making it happen! Whoo!

    My "secret" lately has been doing a 250-300 calorie workout in the morning and munching on fresh veggies and fruits between 300-400 calorie meals. Some days it's hard to even eat all the calories! Love it! My body is learning or something... :-)
