Twilight Fun: When Bella see's Edward step out into the sun in Volterra:
I’d never seen anything more beautiful — even as I ran, gasping and screaming, I could appreciate that. And the last seven months meant nothing. And his words in the forest meant nothing. And it did not matter if he did not want me. I would never want anything but him, no matter how long I lived. - Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 20, p.451
Exercise Suggestion: I need to listen to myself and others and just get busy!0 -

Day 4&5
Cardio: Thurs 61 min Fri 30 min. So I've got 5 days in, but I still plan a workout at curves tomorrow.
Butt work: 50 Thurs (did them right in the middle of the lab while the Dean was walking through). 50 Fri (after I started reading these posts) .
H2O: 8x8 every day so far. Not hard -- it's been Warm and dry.
Calories : I've been under by a smidge each day.
Check in / Sharing : Sorry I didn't check in yesterday, but it's been a great week. This semester I work 3 nights in a row, and I have been worried about staying on track for those days. This week went GREAT! I got up and went for a brisk walk with a bit of jogging thrown in each of those days,and I planned my meals and snacks.
Twilight Fun : Bella enjoying her own sparkle after her transformation and realizing that she was born to be a vampire -- very summery. -- Sorry Yvonne, you already posted that scene.
Recommendation: Push ups!0 -
Kathy, no worries about Bella discovering the sunlight, I don't mind sharing.
Isn't it hilarious that we can do the glute squeeze while no one else notices! I am going to have to think of another exercise we can do incognito for next week. Ohhhhh I have one! :bigsmile:
Friday check in:
My bf and I went to dinner to celebrate VD. We opted to avoid the crowds on Thursday. So I did pretty well up until that.
He bought me a small box of Godiva chocolate Truffles, which he promptly said I could donate to the food pantry. Okay, ladies, you must know that I then developed a death grip on that chocolate box! I will eat them carefully, like I said, it was a small box.
No workout Friday, but I should have put on my HRM as I did some house cleaning after dinner.
Did pretty good with water.
Exercise recommendation....clean house!!!
TODAY THE NEW TV ARRIVES. My bf suggested that the first thing I watch on it is Twilight. Does he know me well, or what? I have told him my love for Twilight is no different than his love for Notre Dame football. Well, okay, maybe it's not exactly the same, but Then again, you know how guys get about their beloved football, maybe their love for football is actually worse!!!0 -

Yvonne, you have a great b/f!! And like you, there is no way I would be giving up that box of Godiva chocolate. It is SO good! I love that your b/f understands your love for Twilight. Nothing wrong with being passionate about Twilight, football, or even chocolate!0 -

Twilight Fun: What about Twilight isn't fun? Though the weather in Forks is the opposite of summer, reading Twilight always makes me smile and feel a warm sense of comfort.
Exercise Suggestion: Embrace indoor exercise when the weather outside isn't suitable. I REALLY need to work on this again.0 -

Suzy, I am jealous. Are you driving up the coast or flying and driving from a closer location?
I just watched an old recorded TV version of Twilight last night, and during commercials they had deleted scenes and more about how the movie was made and they talked about the places where it was filmed. I never got to see the high schools or cafe in Oregon where they filmed, so this time, when I go out to see my parents in Oregon, I am going to take a side trip to go find the locations. I need to make a list.....0 -
Surf, we're going to be visiting my daughter north of Seattle, so flying there, but Forks comes first! Priorities, you know!:laugh:0

Cals under 269, but finished the week over by 159. That actually is much better than I did the previous 3 weeks.
Twilight summery feeling: Alice returning after the cliff-diving stunt and chiding Bella in her cute loving way about her idiocy and hanging out with werewolves. Love the real friendship there! And it's kinda what I appreciate here when I go off the deep end calories or attitude-wise (same thing, right?)0
