No More Excuses -- Week 25

justjack51

Big week for Hawkeye and Galina!

I tried to gracefully move into maintenance mode, but all I seemed to do is gain weight, so I am going to tweek my settings to lose a pound a week and see where that takes me going forward.

OK, who's turn is it to come up with this week's challenge?

Thanks for the chart Jack and keeping up with this for everyone!

Since I threw out a few challenges last week, I will give someone else the opportunity.

Evening all...Had a busy day today. My dad grilled steaks so I went over on my calories today. I hope to be back at the gym tomorrow. I went for a walk after dinner but I'm sure it didn't take care of the steak and potato and cake and... Anyway tomorrow is a new day. Hope you all have a great one.

Jack...Thanks for the chart.

My challenge this week for myself is to exercise every day, even if it is something small. I am trying to get back on the exercise wagon after being sick. I also am not drinking enough water. That is a constant challenge for me.

Just got back from step aerobics and burned 626 cals. My challenge for myself is to eat more fruits and veggies. So if anyone wants to jump on, and post each day if they accomplished it or not.

Hope to do Jillian's 30 day shred tomorrow. Haven't done it in ages, the only thing is that I don't burn many cals doing it.

Thanks for the chart Jack.

So self Challenge week. I like that.

My challenge will be to exercise the rest of the week, and to stay under my calorie total.

BTW, had a good weigh-in today. I was back at goal weight. I am guessing I hit the sodium a little too hard over the weekend.

Good morning all!!!

Congrats to Galina and Hawkeye!!! WTG!!!

Everyone else seems like they are getting back to it as well. I didn't do too bad yesterday, but didn't make it to curves as a re-scheduled track meet came up that I needed to work concessions. At least I stayed away from all the pretzels, and cookies that I was making!! !;)

My self challenge this week is going to be more active. My son (who is studying to be an athletic trainer) tells me that I am okay with what I am eating but need to do more than just curves. SO......Going to try and do the treadmill or wii at night after curves this week! Tonight I have twirling a well, so it may be late but I will do one of the other activities as well!!!!

Have a great day everyone!

Morning all, Just finished doing Jillians 30 day shred level 1, and man am I weak in my arms. Was using 5 lb weights, and had to take breaks with the arms. Managed to burn 275 cals thru the whole thing.

Have to work on books again today, and the weather is still cold and dreary. So will be another day inside.

Had a piece of fruit with my breakfast a banana, so hopefully get 1 more fruit in and some raw veggies this afternoon.

Hi team...I am forcing myself back to the gym today. It is soooo hard to go back. I don't wanna but I'm gonna. Hopefully it will get easier again??? TTYL.

I love the 8:00 deadline thing!!!! WOW....I don't think we ate dinner tonight until almost then!!! Had twirling so didn't get home until almost 7. However, hubby and I took a 1.7 mile walk after dinner so that helped!!

I may have to adopt your challenge. The alcohol thing is not an issue for me. I love wine and margaritas but I just don't drink as much as I used too!!!! I guess that is a good thing! HA! I could maybe have a glass of wine as a reward if I am good all wekk. That would be a nice treat!!!

Thanks for the time idea!

tigermom79

Evening team....Almost beddy bye time!!! As I stated above hubby and I went for a long quick walk after dinner so I am sticking to my "extra" excercise challenge as I did make it to curves as well. Then had twirling. It is amazing how much better I feel when I do all this vs. coming home and plopping in front of the TV all night. HOWEVER.....I did have to watch the Dancing with The Stars Result show. I had a feeling it would be Jake that would have to say goodbye. Enjoyed him for the time he was on. I still wish Pamela would get gone!!!! I am just really really really glad that Kate is off! Here I am babbling and don't know if any of you even watch DWTS. I never used to, but got hooked when Marie Osmond was on it!

Tomorrow I have to go to our local college and conduct a few moch interviews for the business class. That should be fun!

Talk to you all tomorrow and hope you have a restful night!

Good morning all...I made it to the gym yesterday and felt so much better. Today will be biking with the hubby or maybe a walk/run. I'm sure that my C25K will be just like starting over. Off to type. Hope you all have a good day!

hawkeye01

Happy hump day everyone,

Sounds ilke several of you have had quite the active week thus far! I bought a new and more accurate HRM this past Sunday, so I am not burning as many calories as before. I guess that's a good thing since it prevents me from eating haphazardly just to cosume the extra ones I get.

Have a great rest of the week and weekend.

Morning team!!!! Well here we are at Wednesday already. These weeks just fly by!

Gonna have a busy day again today. Hope my knee holds out. I was opening the door to the gym last night and had to brace it with me knee to pull my key out but I hit it really hard right on the door where the metal frame meets the glass...OUCH!!!! It is still sore this morning!

Well off to get busy. Have a great day!

Good day all, had a good day yesturday. Got in my fruit and veggies. Today might not be so well, but I did have a 6" subway club, with pickles and greenpeppers. But having fattening sausage and perogies with homemade mushroom sauce. Decided to have that tonight since I am off to step aerobics tonight.

Extremely windy here today, so can't do much outside. Was busy running around the farm this moring then had to run for parts. Just got back to town, and now must work on some books. But would rather curl up on the couch and read. But I guess I can do that after aerobics tonight. Think I have to run to Yorkton tomorrow (an hour away) for parts again. So will prob end up having fast food tomorrow for lunch. Prob won't get in a workout tomorrow, unless I do it in the evening, but is hard to do with hubby around.

Well I must get to work, hope everyone is having a good day.

PS - man is my body stiff and sore. I feel like someone beat up my legs.

Evening all...Just got back from riding bikes with the family. It was an enjoyable ride, not too hard. I was under calories for the day and got in all of my water, yeah! I told my hubby since I did everything right for one day I expected to be five pounds lighter in the morning:laugh: Tomorrow is gym day after I finish typing. Everybody have a good one.

Tammy....good to see you are feeling better and getting back active. That is great. Being sick is so yucky..... Say....where is your sister. I saw her introduce herself and nothing since. Let her know I was asking about her. I have been trying to get my x-step-daughter (long story) on here. She has joined WW and is doing well. Her third week in!!!

Well, I have done fairly well today. Didn't eat too bad (except the ice cream) and made it to curves. Then just finished up a 2 mile walk on our new stadium track. That is always nice. The wind is wicked again. I am sick of it. However it is at least warm enough to be outside. Finished under calories only because of the extra excercise. I do feel good about the excercise though.

I have a meeting in the morning in Pueblo, and then have a new employee starting in the afternoon! Should be a full day of all kinds of stuff.

Well....I am off to relax for the evening! Everyone have a great one!

She hasn't posted anything else. I'll let her know you asked about her, thanks. I think she is just getting used to the site. Great job on the extra exercise.

Mornin all. Very dreary here again today, forcasting lots of rain. I am up a pound today but TOM is coming later this week, so I am hoping that is the problem. Definately have been slack with watching the eating thou. Not sure if I will get on treadmill today. Going to Yorkton I think to get parts today.

Went to step aerobics last night and just couldnt get into it. But still burned 635 cal.

Hope everyone has a good day.

renaegry

Well I did decideo hit the treadmill. Did 1.75 miles, and burnt 258 cals.

WTG Renae!!!! I am fighting with myself as to if I really want to go to curves!!!! i will go, but feel like it is one of those nights that I will "just be there"!!!! My TOM as well!!!!

HAve a great evening all!

Good evening all...I made it to the gym again today and jogged the trail, did 20 minutes on the bike and then did the Nautilus machines. I was a dripping puddle when I finished but I feel so much better. I ended up under calories two days in a row now woohoo!! My youngest got a guinea pig today from a friend and he is so excited. Her name is Bella and he is just amazed with her. Hopefully he'll take the responsibility part of the deal and clean up her cage, we'll see. I'm not holding my breath. Nothing else exciting here today. Hope you all have a HAPPY FRIDAY!!

renaegry

Great job Tammy on the workout. And Ann, that is how I felt going to aerobics last night.

Well we went to Boston Pizza today, and I ate 1/2 healthy. The bad part was I had a beer, and 3/4 of bandara bread. The healthy part was I had 1/2 of an individual spicy chicken pizza, it was located under their health selection meals. So I did end up going over my calories by like 250 I think, which considering how I usually eat there wasnt bad.

Hope to get on treadmill tomorrow, then off to the farm to help hubby clean up the workshop. Suppose to get lots of rain here, which isn't good, because we should be in the field already. Still have a little fixing to do to get ready.

tigermom79

Morning all!!!! What a pretty morning in Colorado....NO WIND!!!! YIPEE...However, it is suppose to get cold and rainy today thru Sunday. And of course we have a home track meet today. Get to go freeze outside again!!!! Darn It!!!

So, I will only be at work this morning because of the track meet so have lots to do. Guess I better get after it!

Have a wonderful Friday everyone!

Happy Friday team!!! It is going to be a beautiful day in SC. I would love to hit the water for a little afternoon kayaking. Hopefully I can talk hubby into going with me. Have a great day
