Hey Ann, get that glass of cold ice water because I did my exercise and stared down chocolate fudge. GO ME!!!!
I stayed of the scale today, have exercised for two days and no sweets yet! I ROCK and I am obviously conceited! :laugh:
Excellent.....Here's to you girl:drinker:
I didn't get my jogging in but did make it to curves and ate under my calories.I have ordered me a HRM. I hope it works. I just don't have a clue what I burn off at Curves so I haven't been adding that in. I am off to a great start this morning! I only have today and tomorrow then off until the 4th of January! YIPEE!!!!
We have a huge storm coming in, so we will have snow on the ground for Christmas!! YEAH!!! I still like to wake up Christmas morning to the snow falling! There is like a 10% chance!!!! I will keep my fingers crossed.
Have a wonderful Tuesday!0 -

I woke up this morning to a nice dusting of snow, it is absolutely beautiful!0 -
Had a Salty Day, Chili for lunch + King Crab for dinner = 10,000 mg of Salt in one day.
I wonder if I am going to retain 15 pounds worth of water.
I had 4 King Crab legs which according to the sight is close to 6,0000 mg of Salt by itself. (only 520 calories)
Why do all things that taste so good so bad for ya?0 -
Jack...My dad says if it tastes good spit it out, if it tastes bad then it is probably good for you:laugh:0

What a day!!!! YEAH!!!! Tomorrow is my Frida!
I think I ate pretty good today except for the shortbread cookies. But I still managed to stay under calories. I got to Curves. I hope the snow doesn't keep them from opening tomorrow. I will need it.
Okay so I have a delima.......we have a WII Fit as I think I have said. I just did the "Island Run" on it. You basically run in place and the scene changes on the TV. You have to have the controller thing in your hand or your pocket or you don't move on the screen. IT is actually pretty cool. Amanda when you get yours you will see what I mean!!! Anyway. It took me 12 minutes to "jog" that. I felt great. I have no clue how fast I was going or how many calories I burned as I don't have my pedometer yet! BUT.....I jogged for 12 minutes in place and my knees survived. When I jog on my treadmill for 5 min I feel like my knees are going to break. I know people have said the impact on a treadmill can be hard on your knees. Maybe this is what they are talking about. I can walk on it forever, but the jogging kills me. So.......do I get to count jogging infront of the TV and really jogging? I just don't know how realistic that could be. Anyone that is more savy in this stuff than I please give me some insight!!!
It is almost time for bed. Gotta go check my facebook account and then get ready for beddy bye!!!0 -

Drink lots and lots of water to flush out that salt!!!0 -

Heck yeah, that is exercise. Does it tell you how far you went in distance. I would definitely log it. But then again I like to eat so I need exercise calories to get more food calories.0 -

Ann, if you go to the exercise page and type in jogging. There is a jogging in place. 12 minutes equals 116 (?) calories, I think. Hope that helps!!!0 -

I definately like to eat too so I need the excercise. It doesn't tell you how far you have gone. I wish it did. I am anxious to get my pedometer that will help a little. I am just talking to my youngest and he has used the wii fit plus over at his grandmas with his older brother, and he is telling me that it has a calorie burn system on it. I am getting that after the first of the year.
Thanks Amanda!!! I think I am off to get some water!0 -
Ann, did you see my other post about the exercise page???0

The Christmas gifts I am giving myelf this week:
01) six days of exercise - 3 days down, I am halfway to goal
02) will eat no sweets, candy or sugar crap all week except a small serving on Christmas day - I ate some english toffee today
03) I will treat my myself to a long bath with the door locked and earplugs on :happy: JK - this I have also did
04) I will not get on the scale again this week until next Sunday and then I will know whether this week was an accomplishment by how I did, not what the darn scale says!!!! - have stayed off the scale, almost hopped on today as it is my one year anniversary of being on this site0 -
Tomorrow is going to be hard, dh has a disc-o-gram at the hospital so I will be there all day. I am hoping to be able to run the stairs or something while I am waiting. I am also hoping that I don't stress eat. I will get though this and so will my dh.0

I don't think I did! Where do I find it?Ann, did you see my other post about the exercise page???0 -
Ann, go to your exercise page, then when it says enter exercise, type in jogging. Scroll down to jogging in place and then click on it and enter the 12 minutes.0

Got IT!!!! Thanks Amanda!!! Dad gome I still have like 700 calories then to eat and I'm not hungry. Plus it is 9:30 at night!!!!0

How many of those calories are from exercise? If you are truly are not hungry, I would just let them go. I don't think it is good to eat just to eat. Drink some chocolate milk or something if you want, but IMO I would just let them go, if are truly not hungry.0

300 from curves, and about 200 from working out on the wii....jogging and step aerobicsHow many of those calories are from exercise? If you are truly are not hungry, I would just let them go.

My son is getting the Wii for Christmas and I would like to buy the fitness program for it. Can anybody tell me what I need to buy and about how much it is? They had a step combo at Sam's Club but I wasn't sure if you had to have the board thing as well. Thanks!0

You will LOVE the wii fit!!!! At least we do! Yes, it usually comes as a package deal...the program and the board. You do need the board for the program to work for most of the games and training! We also have a "nunchuck" thing that is used for the boxing. I think we got ours off either Amazon or ebay for around $80. GameStop has them too I believe. Hope you enjoy it like we do!0 -
Good evening from South Carolina...Hope everyone is doing well and ready for Christmas. I actually had to get out into the holiday traffic today to get some grocery items but it wasn't too bad. I've had a pretty good week so far but that is about to end. We are cooking dinner here tomorrow and then brunch at my dad's on Friday. I will try to eat smaller portions and get some exercise in but that is about all I'm shooting for.
Ann...Thanks for the info on Wii Fit. I hope to get it after Christmas.
Amanda...Hope your day goes well at the hospital.
Amy...Hope you have a great Christmas at home with your family. Travel safely.
Merry Christmas to all. I wish you a safe and happy time with your family.0 -
Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been online for a couple of days. We spent today on the road driving north to my parents for Christmas, so now I'm writing this from Newcastle (near Scotland if that helps). I managed to stay almost within my calories today despite having to eat at a diner en route, but I didn't get the chance to exercise. Going to the local swimming pool with my mum in the morning though, so that should help.
My scales told me yesterday that I'd lost the first of the 3 pounds I'm trying to shift in what's left of this year. Very happy about that - so now let's see if I can say goodbye to the other 2. Wish me luck!!

Hello everyone!!!! Hope everyone is doing well. I've been doing goon on my exercises and eating. Haven't had any junk food in about a month and believe it or not I don't even crave any at all. And I'm a big time junk food eater so I'm proud of myself.
Hope everyone else is doing well. Keep up the good work ladies!!!0 -
Merry Christmas Eve everyone!!!0

Merry Christmas Eve!!!!!!! Off to Family Mass and then home to Chili!!!!!!0

Merry Christmas everyone. Only 20 minutes to go this side of the pond!!0

Merry Christmas Eve to all. We had our dinner here today and I overate but I only had breakfast and a late lunch. Maybe it won't add too many pounds. We have to leave early in the morning to go to my parents' house for breakfast so I will wish everyone a Merry Christmas early. Hope everyone has a great day!!0

Merry Chistmas everyone!!!!
Good news and bad news. Went to the Gym today, and weighed 212.8, that is down over 3.2 pounds already this week.
Bad news..............Ate like a horse today, but it was SOOOOO Good. Had Hamburger for lunch and a ton of Smoked Turkey and Beef Brisket from my favorite BBQ place for Xmas Dinner. (plus I ate 2 Chocolate Chip cookies at church)
400 calories over on the day, and that includes 460 bonus exercise calories. I was way over on Saturated Fat and sodium, so I bet I gained a pound back when its all said and done.
Tomorrow we are having shrimp and crabcakes for lunch, and BBQ leftovers for dinner, so it will be hard to be good tomorrow.
My Gym does not open until Monday, so I am going to have to do exercises around the house estimate use my scale for weigh in on Sunday. (No tenths on that scale) We are getting a ton of snow tonight, so maybe I can get some snow shoveling calories burned tomorrow.0 -
I am feeling pretty proud right now. Went to my mom's, ate a lot and drank two cokes. I know my calories are over but I only two sweets and I realize I don't feel sick, over-full or miserable. My pants don't feel tight and I am extremely happy! I feel good and I am probably getting ready to pull an all-nighter. Santa has work to do.

mmmmmmmmmmm, Coke, I haven't had one for two months.
Sadly, if I were to do it over again, I would have had one chocolate chip cookie and one Coke. Same amount of calories and less fat.0
