I'll get in my post here for the day... I am doing fabulous! I am really excited to start this new week and super motivated. My weight goes down soooo slowly which is a bit frustrating at times. I am not sure if it is my medication, genetics or I just need to change up something. However, I am thrilled to be going in the right direction and I feel terrific. The scale definitely doesn't tell the whole story! I know I will get in my exercise today... Spinning class at 6pm tonight. My quads are already killing me so I think it will be a long class for me. I think I might soon invest in something to put on the bike seat. Those seats kill your butt!:laugh: :laugh:0

Great challenge Mimi!0

Thanks Chicagoposh! I was telling my daughter about you today... I let her know how you are training for a half marathon and what a great teammate you are. :happy:0

Tried a new exercise today. Well really it was doing a move without modification. :-)0

Mimi try mixing it up. It worked well for me.0

I am liking this challenge!
Well, to start out, I am feeling deflated today, was down to 209 yesterday, then on weigh-in day I magically pop back up to 211. I literally said "Why are you doing this to me?!?" to my scale this morning after i got off of it for the 20th time. ugh. But then I got my butt to Zumba. I'm feeling icky and feel like I need a juice cleanse or something. I even had a nice full 8 hours of sleep last night. I'm sure the stress of wedding planning, two toddlers, work, family issues, and making time to work-out is getting to me.
Tomorrow is a new day, dang it!!!0 -

Hang in there Mazarith. I swear the scale can be our biggest enemy some days!!:frown: That is a lot of stress you are under, but give yourself a high five for still doing your Zumba and making sure you got a good nights sleep. You got this!:happy:0 -
I tired Part 2 of the Kettlebell workout DVD yesterday and my body is killing me.....too many parts to list are sore and aching!!! I felt good to do it though!! My "new" thing today will be running for a longer time frame on the C25K but that's not really a "new" workout. Hope everyone is having a great week! I'm feeling more motivated then usual-this is a good thing!0

Those kettlebells are a real burn!! Way to go! My body is still killing me from a new DVD I did that had lots of squats and lunges. I am hoping it is a good, you are making progress, kind of hurt and not a pain due to incorrect form. I am so happy that you are feeling motivated. This is so much mind over matter!! Good luck on your C25K run today! I'll be thinking of you!:flowerforyou:0 -
My day is going fine. I should have used a little more will power earlier but I think I can work off those 3 cookies before the end of the day. I don't think I really even wanted them. I was just working and was feeling really tired. I was mad at myself because it is so much easier to just not eat the darn cookies then to spend all that time working it off. :frown: I think I am going to go swimming with my son tonight. He learned a new move in swim class and maybe he will teach me for my new exercise.:bigsmile: You guys are all doing great! Let's keep up the good work team!0

So much easier to just not eat them, not nearly as fun as eating them though. LOL! It happens to us all. I also think about how much exercise I'm going to need to do to get calories off.0 -

I hate that feeling. Last weigh in was the same thing for me. I went up almost 2lbs on weigh in day. Sometimes I just stand on that scale and curse it. Hopefully it's just natural fluctuation and will work its way back down.0 -

Gee Mazarith.. you kicked butt today!
I love the feeling of after a good workout. The pain during I could do without, but afterward there is such a great feeling. I am glad you are feeling better today! Happy Valentines Day! 0 -
I am having a rather stressful day so far today. My friend, carrielynn62, called me at 5am and let me know her young son-in-law was just rushed to the hospital unable to move or speak. At fist the hospital was thinking it was maybe a stroke or seizure but they have now found out it was a brain anurism (spelling?) and he is fortunate to be alive. He is having a scope go up in his brain right now and I guess we will know more later. That stress and a party with young children surrounding me with sweets. :grumble: I am thankful however that the young man is alive.
I am determined to still find the joy in this day. It is always there to be found... sometimes you just have to look a bit harder for it. I messed up eating some of the sweets today, but I am not going to use that as an excuse to ruin the entire day. I am way to determined for that!!
Do you guys have any Valentines plans for today? 0 -

That's what I wanted out of my personal trainer session. Instead he just showed me some of the machines that I already knew how to do. I am glad that your trainer showed you something new. Over and over again research shows that confusing our bodies is just what we need to get results. Proud of you gal!0 -

That is some really tough news to get. I hope he pulls through this. I have only known one person, personally, that went through that and she came out ok. I will keep her family in my thoughts. 0
