Sixers Valentine Vixens: Week 1

C25k Week 1 Day 3 done! Today I was feeling adventurous and decided to do my walk/jog in the neighborhood behind my apartment complex. I've walked back there a few times before, but I don't know the roads very well. It's hard to get lost because they all loop around back to the same place, but I somehow managed to do 2 miles almost completely uphill. I checked in my car after I got back home because I thought maybe I was just going crazy. But the good thing is, I did all of my jogs. I had to walk a little longer one time (because I had just jogged up a hill and then walked up a bigger one and thought I might fall over if I kept jogging up the big hill) but then I did an extra jog, but I got them all in. So, that means I need to get out of the house soon, or I will start eating like a crazy person. Does anyone else do this? What do you eat after a harder workout? I've tried lots of different things -- veggies, cheese, graham crackers and peanut butter, candy -- but none of it makes me feel satisfied and I end up eating twice the calories that I worked off. It doesn't last all day, just for about an hour or so after I get back from working out.

B and Amy S -- did you do your C25k today? How did it go?

HEY GUYS! I AM AWAKE, REFRESHED, and ALERT!

Okay

Alison and Amy S, I did in fact do Week 1 Day 1 of my C25K today! I did all of the jogging sets, and surprisingly didnt get too out of breath, I ended up doing 1.88 miles, and I burned 250 Calories!!!! In the last jogging interval I kicked it up to 7.0 MPH, yay! Keep in mind I did this after an HOUR long Zumba class (which REALLY kicked my butt, I havent got all the steps down but I sure had a blast!!!) I have no clue how many calories I burned in Zumba, If I decide to keep doing the classes I am going to have to invest in a heart rate monitor and a pair of those hip hop dance shoes! haha.

I had Mr. Pita chicken pita for lunch, and 2 tbsps of hummus and a greek pita for a snack. I am doing sooo great today! I have class from 6-9, then Im going to come home do a little homework and pass out again, I really am super tired! haha.

evening...

welcome moon.

under my cals, but, didn't eat good food. we shall see what the scale shows tomorrow. don't expect anything. won't be suprised if there is a gain. i wish the doc could figure out why. i burned over 4500 calories this week and only had one day over cals. and as of this morning i had a gain. he wanted me to lose 3#s in this month. i don't know if it's going to happen. maybe he will find out why. i have been writing everything done.

well, it's shower and jammie time. remember tomorrow is weigh in day.
look for the new thread with week 2.
copy and paste list. move yourself to the upper section. put in your cw and your progress.
the upper section is those who have checked in the lower is for those who haven't.

Hey ladies!!

Everyone ready for weigh-in tomorrow?? I'm hoping I am!! I need to get back on my workout schedule. So impressed with those of you doing C25K, I have started it a couple times but just haven't stuck with it, maybe I need to get back on that track!!!

Okay...tackling personals!!!!

Verda - ugh, i have such bad sinus problems so I totally know where you're coming from! And yay for a salon day!! That is my absolute favorite indulgence!!

Amy (ls) - Yes all of us Amys have to stick together!! haha! And look at you, pushing the stroller with C25K?? Nice work girl!!

Kel - nice job with the Shred!!! That continues to be one of my favorite DVDs!!

Cathy - I hope you get something figured out with your doctor and whatever may be going on there. And of course you always keep up on the boy don't you?! Not much has changed there, so we'll see, a lot up in there air right now with me still job searching. I'll be sure to keep you posted!

B - School is good, just busy and i'm SOOOOO ready to be done! Your gym sounds AMAZING!!!! I've always wanted to play more tennis, sounds like so much fun!!

Alison - my absolute favorite after workout snack is raw almonds and raisins. I have to be really careful with the portion sizes though because they are pretty high calorie snacks. But usually it doesn't take much to quench that workout hunger.

Lulabelle - ugh, cramps are the worst!! I hope you get to feeling better!!

Tiff - Hey girl! Your lunch sounds wonderful!! Way to avoid the cookies!!!

Kristin - sounds like a super busy work day!! Way to keep at it!!! Love seeing the pics of your little one on FB, she is such a doll!!!

Welcome to all the newbies!!!

I know i'm missing people, hello to you all!!! See you for weigh in tomorrow morning!!!

First off... Thank you all for the warm welcome, you all are awesome :bigsmile:

Amy (ls) My name is Muna, my nickname is moon. Your son is BEAUTIFUL :flowerforyou:

Well I guess I am the first to weigh-in 2day. I am the same 200.6 lbs.
I would love your advice on something, as I mentioned in my last post I see a nutritonist every week. I have been at it for 3 weeks & only lost during the first week, as you can imagine that really made me sad. I have been eating the same food for lunch everyday for over 3 weeks & I don't think I can do that anymore, it makes me want to cheat because there is no variaty. My mom tells me that I should stop going to the dr. & just do it on my own, EAT LESS & MOVE MORE, how hard is that?? Why can't I do it?? I pay the guy almost 40 $ a week, if I was seeing results I wouldn't mind the money but to pay & see nothing change & eat the same food?? What do you guys think? Should I stop going to him or would that mean that I quit AGAIN?? Should I keep going, maybe give him another 2 weeks? I don't want to fail this time, I have failed so many times before. You are my support now & your advice means alot to me.
I hope you all have better luck with the weigh-ins today

Give him more of a chance! I quit seeing a specialist after two weeks because the second week I didnt show any weightloss, and what really happened was that I lost Inches!!!! If nothing happens after those two or three weeks, including not losing inches then maybe consider quitting. Ive beenn told thought that you will usually have an attitude change or gain more energy from seeing a nutritionist.

Well, Ladies, sorry for not checking in lately. My husband has been sick for 3 days and I have been taking care of him. yesterday I had to wake him up at 9 am, 10, 12, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9 for pills. He was not a happy camper.

Starting Weight - Dec 1 - 215

Current Weight - 201.5.

My mini goal is be under 200 lbs by Feb 1. 5 days to do this.

I have not exercised on Sat, Sun or Monday unless you count all the cooking, cleaning and errands running that I normally do not do. I hate when he is sick and I have to do it myself. I have not had a chance to really watch what i was eating but of course I went over calories for all 3 days because I was just grabbing quick food while i was taking care of him. I have no idea on my water because I was just drinking from a glass. i just kept filling it up from my gallon of crystal light premade mix stuff. I think i drank it all because i have remake the gallon again and it was full on saturday night. I think i did good on the water dept on Sunday/Monday.

look for week 2. we start a new thread every tuesday...see you over there
