WTG Lisa....I also completed week 1 of C25K ....I am feeling great. I was not going to do it because I was exhausted, but I put on my clothes and made myself do it. Glad I did.
I reached my 10lb goal today so I went and got my haircut. What a great little treat for me. My next 10 lbs I am going to get a Mani and a Pedi. I want that so bad so I will be working hard to get to that goal :happy:
Well gotta get up early in the morning. I normally dont work on Saturdays but I am closing a loan for some customers. :flowerforyou: Its great to go the extra mile for people :happy:
Keep up the great work Ladies.0 -
I restarted the c25k so I am on day 2 of week two we are all pretty close!!! I went grocery shopping today and am so exhausted!!!!!!! Talya was too poor girl! Talked to hubby yesterday and for about 1 minute today! Word on the street is that he will be home by be beginning of april!! OH I cant wait but I have learned not to get my hopes up and to only get excited when I hear for sure that he is on a plane home!!! Hope every one is having a good day!0

Hi ladies!
I just got back from a visit to my sister's house in Oregon (we live in GA), and we had so much fun! I've not really lost much the past 2 weeks (I think 2#?) but I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things now.
Holly your dress is beautiful! I think you'll knock him dead! And for those doing c25k, I'm doing it too. I feel so good running, it makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something great. Does anyone know of a good podcast for running? I'm kind of doing a variation of c25k (I'm on week 4 and can't quite do 5 minute run intervals, but the walks are way too long so I'm running 4 min walking 90 sec), and need some music that will beat as my feet hit the pavement.
A small victory:
My sister gave me an eggplant purple silk dress from Ann Taylor a year ago. It's gorgeous, and a size 14 (when I got it, I was an 18). I tried it on today and it fits!!0 -
hopey i use a c2k5 podcast. where this guy tells you when to run and when to walk etc.. and it is over some music. I like it because he directs me so I don't have to pay attention to the time on my treadmill display but the music isn't exactly my taste tho i am getting use to it and the beat just zones me out. it is kinda like techo music but not as annoying. its called podcasts for running by robert ullery and i got it free on itunes. i saw other podcasts for working out on there but have not tried any yet.
WTG on the dress fitting! the small victories all add up to huge accomplishments:)
timmi- hope hubby does come home the beginning of April. that will be wonderful! thats around the time rob comes home and I go to tennessee. can not wait. we will both have something to look forward to around the same time.
holly - i felt the same way about c25k yesterday. wasnt really going to do it but i was sitting here saying why am i sitting here?? i can just get it done and stick to my plan which was mon wed and fri.. so i made myself do it and i was very glad i did because i felt great after. congrats on the 10 lb! you are doing wonderful!
well i have to go walk the dog and get some breakfast. i get to see rob in about an hour and a half and i cant wait i havent seen him on cam in 2 weeks.0 -
Way to go, Hopey! Being able to fit in a lower size is always so encouraging.
Timmi, i keep hearing time frames of when our guy are coming back (even though I am still waiting on my love to get here for R&R). But I am not getting my hopes up, until he is in my arms
I have had a great weeks so far and have been very busy trying to get the house cleaned. I Hope you all have a great weekend.0 -
I really like the Chubby Jones podcast on itunes for the c25k. Its in my oppinion a little more youthful than Roberts podcast. I started feeling like death last night and was running a fever, chills, sore throat,, headache, body aches but I am feeling a little bit better right now took a long nap (3hrs) with my daughter lol!!! guess we both could use more sleep!!! She is a more pleasant right now too! TG!!!!!! she was driving me insane screaming at me this AM!!!
W2G hopey!!!!! I like to keep my skinny skirt haning on the refridgerator for motovation
I am so excited so many of you are doing c25k is anyone doing jillian michaels 30day shred? I was full steam ahead then my daughter got sick and I am all sorts of off track!!!0 -
timmi- hope you feel better soon. I will check out chubby jones c25k. I have yet to tackle anything from Jillian. She intimidates me!!
Food shopping is done and just had lunch. yesterday my water consumption sucked so I am trying to get down a ton today. weekends go by so fast!!!
0 -
Congrats Hopey....That always makes you feel good to get into a smaller size.
Cant believe the weekend is gone already. Did good yesterday and today. Feels good to push yourself even though you really dont want to.
Going to stay at home tonight and watch UP with the kids. I havent seen that yet so I'm kinda excited. Guess its the kid in me.
Well ladies, get ready another week down. So exciting to hear some of the hubbys are soon to be coming home for R & R. Enjoy those sweet moments :flowerforyou:
Have a great evening.....Another week down.... WOOHOO!!!!!0 -
i was doing the 30 day shred and two of her other workouts during the summer last year. I really like them, just got bored and needed a break. I did jump up to the 3rd level of Slim in 6 and it is a killer, but I pushed through!0
-
awesome overit (hahah I know your real name but I dont know if you care if I use it or not) I really like the 30 day shred but I was just at the end of level 2 when I got a sick baby and a big set back .
Lisa I really hope we start feeling better so far Talya has been sick 2 times this year, but she manages to be so happy anyhow which is refreshing! (She def didnt get that from her daddy but we know how most men can be when they are sick LOL) My doctor isnt open today but I got her in today for a ped apt at 1430 .
It is times like now where I miss Tim the most
All and all things are good I heard from the hubby friday but after less than 2 minutes we got cut off I hope I hear from him today that would be great!!!!!!!! Didnt weigh in this week because it didnt go according to planned with everything but hopefully next week will provide a pleasant suprise. ( I would rather not dissapoint myself and risk emotional eating!)
Hope you all had a great weekend!!!!! Semper Gumbi!!!0 -
Day 1 of week 2 c25k yesterday. I felt so good! I was able to focus and didn't pay attention to the time as much. Weather was TERRIBLE yesterday. downpours and very high winds. Where is the spring!!
I did meditatiion through a podcast i found on intunes for the first time in a long time last night. it felt good to just relax. I also did a 2nd meditation to help me go to sleep and it was wonderful. I feel much more refreshed today and not as tired. I am going to try it again tonight.
Yesterday my boyfriend posted a status on his FB that said ' you cant go wrong with shopping at Coach for your girlfriend" and i was like wha?? and he said it is just something special for me.. a early valentines present. So I am not sure what he got me yet but I cant wait to see. He is so sweet he also ordered cookies for my dog. He is so thoughtful.0 -
oooh lisa!!! That is awesome!
I got a call yesterday which made me so so so so so happy!! There is nothing like a deployment to rekindle your relationship hahah I got butterflys and grinned from ear to ear!! YAY!
Took Talya to the doctor yesterday and they said nothing to worry about as long as she doesnt spike a fever! We slept until almost 10 today it was well needed. T woke up around 5 in her crib crying so I took her to my room to cuddle! I love my baby. HAHAH the simple joys of life0 -
Thats wonderful Lisa....Can't go wrong with Coach :laugh:
I completed D1W2 of C25K and looks like Ill be doing 2 5k runs before my sweetie gets home
Had a rough day yesterday, but I got up and brushed myself off and made today a great day....
I havent heard from Chris in 3 days. This is the first time since he was first deployed. He warned me but it still doesnt make it easier. I better get used to it though......I understand this deployment isnt the typical for him. Anyhoo. Tomorrow is Wed. We have had horrible weather and they are calling for snow Friday and Saturday.....Looks like my exercising for the weekend will be shoveling...:grumble:
Take care ladies...Keep up all the hard work....One day at a time:flowerforyou:0 -
Timmi, I don't mind my name being used. Its Jamie
Hubby is home on R&R so I am really hoping to not have any setbacks for weight loss this week. I didn't work out yesterday but that was my scheduled day off. I am going to hit the treadmill after dropping my son off at school. And we are both trying to eat healthy. So I hope we all do well and this can become a way of life and not just a diet.0 -
Jamie you will get your work out in other ways hahahah rock on girl!!! enjoy that r and r 0
-
That is SO very true, but I need to get my actual workout in too!0
-
Jamie-- so happy your hubby is home on r&r. enjoy your time together
and Holly I am sorry you haven't heard from Chris:( Stay strong girl.. I hope you get to talk soon. When I go to bed at night I tell myself its another day done and I did okay even though Rob isn't here.. and When I wake up I say another day to get through and we will get through them.
Timmi how is your little girl doing?? I hope she is much better. So glad you got to speak with hubby. Isn't it great when you hear him and it instantly makes your heart feel warm!
i am supposed to be working .. lol.. but a quick post! I did session 2 of week 2 c25k. it was good. it seems when i start out on the first run i feel like it is very hard and uncomfortable but by the 2nd or 3rd i am in a good zone and i feel more energy. just pushing through the first couple runs is the challenge but after that i am good to go. i have one more session to do of this week and i am moving on to week 3. I believe week 3 you do a 3 min run if i am not mistaken?? kinda not looking forward to that.. it scares me. But i guess i need to believe i can do it otherwise i am setting myself up for failure.
almost friday-- almost another week down. I am missing my bf so much!
oh ya i got presents yesterday from Rob from coach. he bought me a heart coach keychain locket that opens and you can put a picture in. it is so cute! he also got me a coach bracelet that is black and white with accents of crystals. he did a very good job of picking them out. I wish i could give him a huge thank you hug.0 -
we are all still sick here this really stinks but what can you do? Hope everyone is doing great and Jamie enjoying her r and r!!!!
I think should go to sleep now!! Good night ladies and hope you have a great day tomorrow!!!!!!0 -
Timmi I hope you and Tayla feel better soon. There's nothing more frustrating than having a sick baby.
Jamie- enjoy that R&R! I hope you are not worrying so much about logging your food and exercise during the "vacation"
Holly- you are always rockin' girl! 2 5ks?! Rock on!!!
My honey will be home on leave FOUR WEEKS from today. Yay! Only 6 more lbs to lose before I'm at my goal for his arrival. We're staying in a nice hotel in downtown Atlanta the night he comes home (he gets in late and our home is about 2 1/2 hrs from the airport). We're going out for a drink together, I'm so excited!
How is everyone's weekend going? I'm at my in-laws this weekend and my food has been pretty cruddy. I didn't log yesterday and am pretty sure that between the chicken biscuit for breakfast and the bbq pork for dinner, I blew through my calories. Oh well, I haven't had a cheat meal/day this year so I guess it wasn't too bad...0 -
Congrats on your honey coming home in 4 weeks Hopey....and how exciting only 6lbs left before your at your g. Ioal...
Timmi hope you and your little girl are doing better. It stinks when both mommy and the babies are sick. I have been there a few times like that....Its grueling.
Well ladies we are up to over 8 inches of snow right now and now its sleeting. UGGGG. I WANT SPRING!!!!!!!!!!
My sweetie called this afternoon and I got the best news. They will be home by June 1st WOOOO HOOO!!!!! I am getting so excited only 4 months left. Now its crunch time getting 2 weddings together. One is really easy but my dress is backordered for that one. UGGG hope it comes in on time. I couldnt have gotten any better new today. (well unless he was on his way home today hehehehehe)
Jamie- I am positive you are enjoying R & R......Savor every moment.
I am loving the C25K program today is my last day of week 2....Week 3 looks challenging....I am so on top of that....
Well off to my niece and nephews birthday party. She is turning 2 and he is turning 1... I told my brother he has to slow down on the kids LOL.....Going to try and resist birthday cake but no promises......Love me some chocolate cake :devil:
Everyone enjoy the weekend... ANOTHER week down...... wow how the weeks are flying. Only 20days until I go see Tim McGraw and Lady A in concert.....Cant wait!!!!!!!0 -
i wanted to wish everyone a good week. i really hate Mondays. I still feel like I am half asleep. I am 3 oz away from a huge major goal and i am so excited. I dropped 2.4 this week which after 2 weeks of 0.8 i am relieved. Hang tough girls. I hope everyone has been able to talk to their bf/hubby. Good luck this week!0
-
Hi everyone!!! Talya and I are feeling a good deal better and we got to talk to Tim the other day and he told me that possibly he will be home mid march which is awesome. The first wave of the homecomings are starting this month and I am jealous that he isnt part of that but it gives me a bit more time to reach my goals!! So 9 months down and about 2 to go!!!!!
Lisa you are kicking butt!!!!!!!!!
Holly I am positive that you are going to reach your goal! and that concert sounds amazing!!!
Hopey you too!!! 4 weeks oh how great is that and only 6lbs till goal! That is so awesome!!!!
Jamie I know your having a great R and R!!! When Tim came home in October it was so great!!
Homecoming and R and R are not stress free though. We get into routeens and then they come home and that goes all to crap and there are alot of anxieties and frustrations attatched to it. I have been reading alot about homecomings and keeping a positive marriage during deployment. I am nervious because my husband really hasnt been to experiance what it is like to be a father. Talya was barely 2 months old when he left and nursed. On R and R she was 8 months old and he gave her alot of baths lol (like 3 a day hahah but daddy loved to do it so I wasnt complaining) For myself I am so used to doing it all on my own and its hard to let that all go. The more knowledgable I am about it all the better off I will be!!! Okay I just woke up on the couch lol its 3 am so I need to go back to sleep but you lovely ladies have a great day and Rock On!!
I have an apt on the 19th of this month and I plan to be firm in 150's by then 0 -
Good morning ladies!
I've been on a plateau all week...ugh! I did manage to move ALL the furniture and steam clean the carpets in the WHOLE house yesterday. My poor arms are sore today, but I went running anyway and now am about to do 30 day shred. Thomas is home in 3 1/2 weeks and I still have 7# before I'm at my 1st Goal weight. I gotta get going (pardon the pun)!
How is everyone doing?
Timmi- I'm so glad you and baby girl are feeling better. I know what you mean about the stress of him coming home. I'm concerned about Georgia using us against eachother like she does with me and Grandma. The little master manipulator! I'm sure Tim and Tayla will be fine; they'll just be so happy to see eachother!0 -
Good Evening Ladies,
I have been slacking in posting...Things have been busy, but I have been keeping up with some of you on Facebook.
Hopey- I know what you mean. I have been stuck all week at the same weight. Haven't moved an inch. UGGGG but then again it is that time of month. I am getting on the treadmill this evening and have kept my calories below my limit. I have wanted to eat myself out of house and home though.
I am getting both nervous and excited about Chris coming home. I have 3 1/2 months...I know it sounds long but the way the months are flying I know it will be here before I know it.
Jamie- I hope you are enjoying R&R....I hope you feel better soon.
Timmi-Jo glad you're feeling better and so is Talya. You are kicking butt with your weight loss. Keep it up girl.
Lisa- Keep it up you are doing wonderful...I am hoping for a surprise next week on the scale since it seems I have been stuck for the last 2 weeks.
Hilary--- Where are you????? Hope things are going well for you. Stay Strong!!!!!
Well its getting late so I better push myself to get on the treadmill...Keep up all the great work ladies..it will pay off when our guys drool over what hotties we are!!!!! I am so proud of everyones accomplishments. Talk to you all soon
Just remember.....I didn't take a day to put it on...its not gonna take a day to take it off....Baby steps0 -
hey y'all! will soon be 2 months til vacation. If I do not repeat any of the c25k weeks I should be able to run 5k before I go to Tennessee. I am getting excited bout seeing my boyfriend. I did day 2 of c25k yesterday and I did really well. I feel kind of confident about week 4.. just want to make sure I am not overly confident because I dont want to be disappointed in myself if I have a bit of trouble making all the running parts.
scale is staying down for me and it is almost TOM so hopefully I don't gain on weigh in day.
Holly- I tell myself all the time baby steps... just keep moving. We will all get there.
Timmi- so glad you girls are feeling better.
hope you are all having a good week. Keep pushing forward!0 -
Hi Ladies,
Thats fantastic about the C25K Lisa. I slacked this week. TOM enough said. I went off my bc pills and been paying for it. decided to go back on them. I will be repeating week 2 starting tomorrow.
I went over my calories big time today. I hate winter. It puts me in a blah mood and makes me want to eat. I had plans to see Dear John this evening and a huge winter storm came and ruined my plans. This is like 3 weekends in a row I have been stuck at home in the house. I am so ready for Spring.
Jamie I hope you are continuing to have a wonderful R & R. I know you are dreading the end of it.
Timmi-Jo not too much longer for your hubby to be coming home too. Such joy and happiness I am sure.
Hopey-Keep up the good work. You are so close to your 1st goal.
I have decided that counting the weeks down is alot easier for me than months. I have 14 or so weeks before Chris comes home. I am starting to get nervous/anxious/excited. I am just a mixed bag of emotions. This is not helping my diet at all. I feel its so much to do and not enough time to get it all done. I am trying to get rid of somethings for my Move to Ft Riley in June. Wow!!!!! I haven't been out of VA in over 20 yrs after my father retired from the Army.
Ok ladies enough rambling. Thanks for listening. I just felt I had to purge my emotions. I need to get back on track. I am not weighing this week because I know I gained and dont want to be set up for disappointment. That will just make things worse and make me want to quit.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Another week down. YAY!!!!0 -
Hilary where are you I agree!!! Hope all is well!!!!!
Thank you everyone for your get well and wellness congrats!!! HAHAH
Wow Holly the move will be great though your right weeks do go alot faster!!
Lisa you are doing great with the c25k keep motovated girl! It is going to be so exciting to run your first 5k (on your own or an organized one)
Hopey you have got this covered too!!! I have confidance you are going to kick that goals butt too hahah!! 3.5 weeks that is so exciting to see the hubby
You guys are passing me up with the c25k now. WIth the sickness and then the cold weather I havent started week 3 yet Hopefully this weather perks up and I can get my butt out htere hahh
we found out that Tim should be home by the first of April so Talya (as much as a 11 month can) and I made a Christmas chain/ Daddy home chain for up until the 14th of April (because you never really can be sure and I would rather be prepaired for worse and suprised with better!! ) But time is dwindling down and I am so excited!!!!0 -
My husband deployed almost 3 weeks ago so I'm kicking the 'woe to me' attitude I've been holding onto and kicking myself into high gear to lose these last 10-15lbs for GOOD. I'm glad I found a group like this!0
-
Welcome Gym_rat.......This is a great group of ladies...Good luck and hang in there :flowerforyou: We are all here for eachother!!!0
-
Welcome gym_rat! you'll love this group! Sorry to hear about the deployment, but just keep busy and he'll be home before you know it. How long is he gone for?
How are y'all doing on c25k? I'm supposedly on week 5, and can run 3/4 miles straight, but have been on this week for like 3 weeks now! I ran a total of 2.5 miles today but had 2 breaks in there. I was doing really well and was almost at a mile when my ipod fell off the treadmill and hit the emergency stop button...ugh! I'm hoping to break through this week and run over a mile straight. Keep going ladies, I know you will be running that 5k in no time!!0
