    Okay tomorrow is going to be hard I am going to a friends place who has no clue about fitness and eating right. She is nursing a newborn so I know she needs to eat more but I remember a talk we had once and I was telling her what I eat for calories and she look at me and said don't you need like 3000 cal a day to nurse LOL. I so do not eat that much and I tried to tell her that and she would not even hear of it. But on the up side I am bring lunch for us I did make enough to feed a small army but I want there to be leftovers so she will not need to cook dinner. It is part of her gift for the baby. Wish me luck I will need it.

    I've been thinking of you...so how did you do?

    What a great friend you are to prepare for a "small army" love-love it...


    My friend cancel on me so now I have enough leftover for a small army. And it is a meal that is a bit higher in cal so I don't want all the left overs. We will reschedule in a week or two and I will bring lunch then to.

    OK, I had 22 glasses of water and walked a mile on the treadmill at lunch and again after work at 3-3.5 m/hr and 2-5% incline. It may not sound like a lot but it's more than I've done in one day for a while. I also counted every bite and came in under my calories for the day.

    Good for you! Wow! 22 glasses of water and twice on that treadmill! Yeah! Sounds like everyone did a great job today! The dinner I was supposed to go to got cancelled so I ended up eating light at home. I really focused on alot of water today. That is a challenge for me. I could literally drink coffee all day if I let myself. I feel so much better when I get that water in. I can't wait for the skinny saturday! See you Sat.! :flowerforyou:

    :bigsmile: I did well today. Worked out on the treadmill before work. Then back to the gym with a friend this afternoon: 15 minutes on the bike (like a crazy woman) and the rest of the time strength training and stretching. All that working out also made it easier to drink more water. And I did not have my afternoon coffee.

    I've just finished the last of my supper: fish and veggies and 100g of blueberries. I told DH I was abstaining from wine tonight.

    I stayed longer at work, making up time, because I also have 1 hr Toastmasters on Wednesdays; that is why I usually forgo the workout. :bigsmile:

    See you on Skinny Saturday.

    Very hectic day but I did get my workout in. Lighter than usual as I cannot bring my left arm forward or up. No clue what it's doing but I cannot use my weights or resistance bands.

    700 calories burned, power walking, jogging,intervals. I know many have commented on how high the calorie burn is. Today I wore two HRMs just in case the first on was inaccurate. They were within 3 calories of each other. Both are set for my height, weight,age,gender, etc. Besides this I try to work in mini workouts during the day, which I do not count.

    I did drink lots of water. I need this.

    Thanks for the reminder to get up and move! See you all Saturday!

    I hear ya on both counts...thanks for the vote & it's the same w/me, but on the right arm! Ouch...my dogs gave me a good yank last month. They were protecting me from an off-leash doggy, but....anyway,

    My legs still work fine...Round 3 today.
