Well Ladys I am here. Last week was a wierd week. I have had a hard time getting back to the gym this month. SO much going on and I have been tired.

I had one really wierd day last week where I was getting back in to ... its almost like I am afraid to eat real food so i grab crap here and there and dont anyting with real substance. I think my skin is suffering for it, lots of "blemishes" rofl. The next day was better. I really have to get back in to eating healthy not just crap. I need to plan it helps so much!!!! I hoep this week is better.

This weekend I kind of blew it food wise but I am of the mind to be getting back to the gym this week, and my sister is moving up here in like 2 weeks and it will give me a little kick in the butt and little more exercising.

As for a challange I will see what I can come up with For myself I need to drink water,lol

chipgal

Hi Myth, Water would be a good challenge to start with. See if we can drink at least the limit on the daily diary.

Chipgal

Myth

Official weekly challange - Back to our roots!

Drink 8 glasses of waer a day. Thats it....well if you exercise try to finish a bottle just for that alone but 8 glasses a day. (Thanks Chip!)

Hi ladies. Nice to hear from you. Worked out first time yesterday since October. Took a kickboxing class with ladies from work then we took almost a full classof zumba. Needless to say I am hurting big time today. Everything is sore. But it was nice to get back into the gym. I hope that tomorrows weigh in will be the weigh in that gets me on that 200 or breaks it. I woke up sick today though and am leaving sick today....just when i was bragging about being the only one at work and home not getting sick well thats what i get, it could be wose:grumble:

chipgal

Will strat keeping track of water today.:bigsmile:

Hope NewBeginigs feels better this weekend.

Wher is Eek?:flowerforyou:

NewBeginning2010

Well, I had my weigh in today. I lost 3.5 pounds. I stayed at my 1200 i was really strict with myself this week. Sat was my free day. Sun i was over by 37 calories, monday I had 3 calories left. tuesday I was over by 73. Wednesday it said i had 448 extra calories from working out left and thursday i had 12 left.

Id say the best weigh in iv had since I started. So iv lost a total of 30 pounds since january 1st. So 4 months = 30 pounds. I weighed in at 200 which means hopefully my next weigh in forward i will see no more 2's. I took my first kickboxing class wednesday. First time id worked out since october. I feel like someone drop kicked me and kicked in my ribs and just wouldnt stop kicking me.

I was going to ask your opinion. The class is an hour long. Clearly I had to stop at times because i was out of breath or lost. It said that just half an hour of kickboxing was 460 calories burned. I didnt want to record that I was there for an hour and cheat myself.

Here is my question:

Do you think that if i work out the whole class non stop should i record the hour? what if i stop a few times then what should i record? and im afraid that if i start eating excecise cals will i gain weight?

chipgal

New Beginings, When I go to my water arobic class I watch the clock and when I stop to catch my breath (or prevent drowning) I subtract those minutes from the total hour. I usually end up with 45 or 50 minutes of actual exercise.

Myth I drank all my water so far this week. I keep a pint jug on my desk and sip at it and refill it 4 times during the day.

NewBeginning2010

Hello ladies....Where are all my friends :sad: I miss talking to everyone. I hope everyone is doing well. Well i hit a bunch of big milestones on cinco de mayo. I bought my body bugg which today is my first day i am totally excited. Minus my arm being warm and tingling because of the strap everything is going well i cant wait to see how many calories i burn in a day.

Also, I know that its not officially my weigh in day, but I weighed in yesterday and had FINALLY broken my 200 mark and not by a little but by 3 pounds weighing in at 197! woohoo that brings me down to a total of 70 and a total of 33 since January but cant record that til tomorrow.

Well Now that I got my new high tech piece of equippment, lol i will probably use that to record my food since it tells me a deficit and all and gives me cool graphs but i will still come on here...i hope to hear from you guys soon will check in tomorrow :flowerforyou:

chipgal

New Beginning :bigsmile: Congratulations

NewBeginning2010

chipgal

Hello again everybody!! No joke, this is the first time since I last posted that I had time to use a computer for things other than typing up papers! I'm so glad to be back... I've got a laptop right now but I don't know if I'm going to have it until I get a new computer, or just for the weekend (it's not mine, it's from my dad's work haha).

So. I haven't lost any weight, at all. I completely fell off the wagon. I had nobody to hold me accountable for my actions. At first it was having a cookie here and a frap there, and then it was like I had never been counting calories to begin with. The good news is I haven't gone up any, either, I suppose. But still, I know I could have done better... it's killing me.

But still, even if it's only for the weekend, I will be logging everything I swallow! I just read through all the posts I missed. I'll be sure to get my 8 glasses of water in this week, Myth!

I hope everyone's been doing well.

Keltinator

wow, posts really have slowed down!! well I don't care, I'll check in anyways

i've been drinking my water all day! had a field hockey game (tied it) and then went shopping with my mom, for two and a half hours. sooo tired! but it was worth it, found a super cute dress.

however, tomorrow is monday, which dampens my spirit considerably... oh well.

hope everyone else has had a decent weekend! :flowerforyou:

chipgal

Glad to see you back eek, is school nearly over for the semester?

I fell of wagon many times but remember you guys looking for me and I dust myself off then get right back on wagon.

Chipgal

Keltinator

thanks, chip gal. school's almost over... under 20 days now i think...

which makes me think of my goal that i don't think i'm going to be able to make to be 130 by the end of july (currently 144). however, you never know. it may still happen. i'll just have to really, really stick to the plan! soo glad i have a computer back. i've noticed a change in my eating habits already!!

i think i may be more focused now than i was at the beginning even...

NewBeginning2010

Hope everyone here is doing well. I have been hanging in there with a little struggling. Hope it gets better. Hope to hear from everyone soon. I was bummed that i had worked out for the first time in 4 months with my new body bugg and stayed on my cals and didnt lose anything oh well....

Keltinator

glad to hear you're hanging in there, newbeginning. what's a body bug??

band tour is finally here i'm off tomorrow until friday. i'm going to try suuuuper hard to stay on track!! hopefully i do well...

chipgal

Hello everyone, today was my dad's 83rd birthday. Bought him his favorite cake and did not eat it all before I delivered it. In fact I servered everyone and did an inside piece with very little frosting for me.

Chipgal

Keltinator

congrats for your dad, chipgal! good on you for taking an inside piece! i admit my favorite part of a cake is usually the frosting.. .haha.

so, i'm back from tour. i think i did okay. i did eat more fast food and restaurant food than normal, but it can't really be helped. however, i avoided it a lot by taking foods from the breakfast in the hotel (bread and fruit and such) and eating it for snacks/lunch instead of eating with everyone else at whatever joint we stopped at. i had a really great time...

i hope everyone else's weekend is going well!

Myth

Congrats Thalia on breaking 200!! That is awsome!!!

Myth

Chip,

I had a great mothers day I got me some sparkalies!! They were unexpected!! It was a great day spent with my kids and shared the day with my son as well since it was his birthday. My baby turned 7 and I felt 1 year older! lol I hope everyone else had a great day as well.

Myth

Thalia,
As for the Body bug, I have a heart rate monitor, I used it like crazy when I got it. But I did not log what it said because it said I burned like 450 ina spinning class and I never logged anything above 300 for 1 exercise and 350 if I did 2 things in 1 day. There was a time when I was burnign according to my HRM like 900 a day and umm ya I never logged it,lol. I guess I am saying while it is a good guide btu I would not swear by it. Go with your instinct for sure if you feel you really kicked your own butt try logging it for 1 week and the next lower it some and see which works better for you. But I love getting new toys it gets me excited about losing weight again!
