    I need a midweek boost! I need motivation! I need a bigger air conditioner, and a pool, and a housekeeper, and a full time trainer!
    I think that's it for now!:bigsmile:

    Lets burn that fat!

    :flowerforyou: Well it is humid and hot enough that we can sweat buckets today if we wish! I am ready to get a good workout in this morning and get that water in. I am going to focus on that water and getting enough protein in. I am naturally drawn to carbs! It is a ballgame tonight for us so I must plan on staying away from stadium food! I am sure it will be so hot that it will kill the hunger! I have surgery on my left foot on Friday so this may be my last true SWC for a few weeks. I will still post it and cheer you guys on. I will have some mini workouts for the next few weeks. Here is to a great day all! :heart:

    Good morning all! I did a quick shortened version of my bellydance workout this morning, due to snoozing when the alarm went off! :yawn: And today it is POURING rain! We have all kinds of lightening/thunderstorms going on. Tornado watches & flash flooding. So I don't think I'll be able to get my walks in on my breaks here at work.:grumble: However it is a Zumba class night for me. I'm hoping I can get out this afternoon if the rain ever goes away!

    Fab - I hope your surgery goes well on Friday. Let us know how you are doing. :flowerforyou:

    Good luck to you all on your Skinny Wednesday! :bigsmile:

    Oh, Fab what happened to your foot?! Ouch....I'm still aching from my foot surgery! Keep it elevated and DON'T walk on it until your doc gives you the go ahead! I think I'm having SYMPATHY PAINS...haha...ouch.

    15 fast minutes on the elliptical,
    60 high impact min of Zumba,
    75 awesome stretch of Yoga,
    & 70 ounces of water, so far....great day.

    Plent of exercise, plenty of water, followed by plenty of calories. My son's 34th birthday, and my sister, her daughter, and grandaughter were in town just for today. We had a lovely visit today and they are back on the road tommorrow. I am still under my calories and I have finally started to lose weight again! YAY WHOO HOO

    Fab, keep that foot up! What surgery are you having done? My foot Dr. wanted to break my little toe, and rebreak another little bone in the other foot that is troublesome. I don't thing so. I am not ready for that yet, and may never be.
    Will be thinking of you, and hoping for your speedy recovery!

    Nite all, Alice

    Sorry I didn't check in last night I was too tired! The sun ended up coming out yesterday after a horrendous morning storm! So I got my walks in on my breaks from work. Then I did another short walk at the gym before my Zumba class. After Zumba I decided to jump in the pool & did a few laps! So I'd say it was a great Skinny Wednesday!

    Hope all goes well for you tomorrow, Fab! :flowerforyou:

    See you all on Saturday!

    Ok it is Wednesday, 6/30/10 - time for Double Challenge - double your water, double your exercise and double the will power to stay in control.

    I started with this last week - someone else started the post and I just followed along. I think it is a good tool to focus on for the middle of the week. So lets' do this together - I wish you all success!:wink:
