    I resisted the Mexican food!! :drinker: I ordered the grilled chicken salad, dressing on the side, and water. Did splurge on a few too many chips with salsa though! :wink: Going to try to go for a good long walk later this evening. Hope everyone is having a good day!

    Team!!! :glasses:

    Well last night I went to the gym again and I did every work out on my sheet!!! my trainer writes down different moves on my sheet like how many reps of each at how many pounds and sets. so i did it all! it took about an hour. i felt good!! i'm going back today for some more. but i do really need a HRM now because i am doing so many different machines i dont want to enter them all in on here. and i was good about eating too. for dinner i had some steak and a small side of potato salad. and when i say small i mean big but i didnt eat it because it was gross. lol.:bigsmile: :laugh:

    today: 60 mins at the gym and 8 glasses of water!!

    lisa: way to resist the mexican food! mexican food is probably my favorite. well.......... its a tie really between mexican and chinese!! i wouldn't have been able to stop myself from having an enchilada or a chimichanga!

    kim- thanks for the support! once i had my meeting with the trainer on Monday I felt like i was back on 100%!!!!! i'm going to do this! And If I, out of anyone, can do this, then so can all of you! you all have no idea how lazy I am! HAHAHA :laugh: :laugh:

    it's on!!

    Did anyone watch the Suns and Lakers game last night!?!?!?!?!?!? GO SUNS!!!!!!!!!!

    Happy Hump Day

    Did Push 2 this morning. Wow my thighs are feeling it.

    Last night I watched a program on TV about coal mining in West Virginia, and oddly enough it reminded me of eating. Strange, I know, but follow me here (and I'm not trying to make a stand for or against coal mining here). These mining companies were all about mining - regardless of what it did to the communities around them - contaminated their water, put coal dust in their air, and literally cut off the top of beautiful mountains. It made me think about food and eating. Just because something is profitable - doesn't mean we should do it. Just because something is fun - doesn't mean we should necessarily do it. And just because something is available and tastes good - doesn't mean we should eat it.

    This weight loss journey, for me, is about retraining myself. Retraining myself to eat well and treat my body well. There will always be foods that taste good, but it doesn't mean I have to shove them into my gullet as quickly and as often as possible. Just because my family cooked a wonderful, tasty meal - doesn't mean I have to eat until I'm stuffed. Self control. Listen to your body.

    Thanks for listening to my little moment here! :laugh: :flowerforyou:

    I agree Lisa. Knowing what you should be doing and trying to remind yourself is, for me, the best motivation for this weight loss journey. you get an A+ :smile: keep up the good work!

    Man-O-Man. I went to the sauna today. It felt great, but 30 minutes was all I could take. I'm not sure if that burns any calories or not (and I'm not counting it), but my heart was sure beating fast when I got out! It feels so cleansing! :happy:

    Hi team! :flowerforyou:

    Well I've been very good this week except for Monday. I've gone to the gym everyday so far for an hour!!!:bigsmile: :smile: I'm really proud of myself!! I may go back today but Im not sure yet. My sister and my roommate are going friday so I was thinking of having today as a rest day and going Friday. But we will see how I feel after work. I really need a HRM though. I'm doing so many different things I can't log it all on here and most of hwat I'm doing is strength training so it doesn't say how many calories are burned. but I can feel it!! Yesterday I felt it in my saddle bag area and I LOVED it!!!! :love: :heart: I feel it a little today but not as much as yesterday. The area I feel it today is my "chicken wing" area! hahahaha :laugh: well I'll get back on here later once I find out if Im going to the gym or not and I'll change my stuff. Be strong today everyone!!! You can do it!!! :bigsmile: :drinker: :glasses: :flowerforyou: :love: :tongue: :happy: :smile: :wink:

    Hello Team,

    aabelein - awesome job! Keep it up. You are doing great. I know what you mean about an HMR. I bought one, but I'm going to return it b/c its not very good (serves me well for being cheap!) I want to get a Polar or Garmin, I think those are the better ones. I rather save up a bit and get one that's going to be really useful and I know I will use for years and year to come :)

    I've been getting really sick this week, which totally sux. But I've been trying to push on the Brazil Butt LIft, cause I can't say enough good things about it. I love what its doing to my body! I can't wait to do another full round now that I for sure have the moves down. I'm planning to do a Shakeology 3-Day cleanse and start a new round of the Brazil Butt Lift before I grauduate to Insanity.

    For memorial my fiance and myself are going to go on a nice long hike that end in Laguna Beach, so we can lay out and relax the rest of the day. Hope eveyone is having a great week.

    Hello there, I was wondering if I might be able to join your group!? I am in desperate need of motivation and support. I lost 57 pounds three years ago and I have managed to put on 37 pounds since then. Granted, I sold a house, bought a house, moved started a new job etc. So I am trying not to be REALLY hard on myself. I need to stop this trend now and get it together. My daughter and I are going on a cruise in August and I can't imagine looking the way I do right now in all our pictures.

    Anyhow, I am looking forward to chatting, helping and being helped! :)

    Thank you,
    Nancy in Chicago

    Well hello Nancy in Chicago! Welcome! :flowerforyou:

    This is a great little group. I think most of us here really focus on (a) drinking at least 8 cups of water everyday, (b) exercising 5x/week, and (c) staying within your daily calories. Good luck! :flowerforyou: :drinker: :bigsmile:

    Welcome Nancy in Chicago

    Gaby - I can't wait to hear about your final results with Brazil Butt Lift. I am considering purchasing it after my ChaLEAN Extreme rotation.

    Ariel - I am so glad that you had a good week with the gym. Keep up the great work

    lmr - I think just the relaxation of the sauna would be enough for me.

    Well gang - I had a great week with workouts and calories, but I have a mini vacation starting tomorrow so I hope I keep it up. I am going to do Push 3 in the morning before we leave and then I will get back on track Tuesday morning. I will try to walk as much as possible on the vacation, but I am not going to kid myself that I would actually go to the gym. I will make watch what I eat, but I am going to enjoy myself - and drink lots of wine:drinker: :happy:

    I will touch base on Tuesday. Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend. God Bless the USA.

    Nice job lmr9!! Wish I could say the same. I didn't lose any weight this week :indifferent: but I didn't gain any either, so I suppose that's good. I'm kinda bummed but not gonna let it get to me. I started doing yoga again so hopefully that will help too.

    Hope you guys have a great weekend and don't get too off track!! We have no plans this weekend so I think I will be okay as far as staying on track. At least I hope so.

    Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!! :flowerforyou:

    I didn't work out or count calories on Sunday or Monday. I don't think I went over TOO badly...I guess we'll see come weigh in day...did drink my water. One good thing is that when I ate out or ate big meals, I could tell...I could tell it wasn't my new normal and I felt so full and uncomfortable. I think that's a good thing because maybe my body is getting used to normal portions and clean eating...at least I hope so! :bigsmile:

    Back at it tomorrow!! :smile: :flowerforyou: :drinker:
