Ugh. Struggled the last few weeks. Will try to re-energize my motivation. Thanks, everyone for being so honest about your own struggles and successes. It helps to feel like I'm not alone in the ups and downs of this challenge.

Good afternoon everyone! There's just one more work day before the start of the weekend. Since today is suppose to be a P90X Yoga day I decided to take it light. I completed the Core Cardio and Balance dvd from the Insanity program.

Just took a pic of me in my wedding dress from 08 at my reception and one of me today, I don't look preggo!! Sadly enough, I 've never been preggo but that's where I carried the weight... And my boobs have gone down too as the top of my dress was very tight fitting then. When I hung it up that night, we barely loosened the back and it was a tight fit coming off, now the top almost falls off!!! Woot woot!!!

I finished week6 this week of C25K and felt pretty good! I've been eating lots of veggies this week, I even tried asparagus, not too bad!! Anyway, I weigh in tomorrow, but I had to share my news!!! See ya tomorrow morning!

Keep up the great work, Bru! You're doing awesome! I can't wait till I can say I finished C25K! :bigsmile:

I tried increasing my fruits this week, which I've done a pretty good job of doing, however I noticed not much in the veggie department. :grumble: I need to figure out my meals to get both in. I don't know what the deal is with me! :laugh:

Good luck in your weigh in tomorrow! And also to everyone else! Hope you are all having a great week & a great weekend is coming! :drinker:

I am going to be having surgery some time soon... probably in the next couple of weeks. That will put a damper on my exercise regimen, but it's not supposed to be too bad. Hopefully I can still do yoga, etc. Anyway, thanks for keeping me motivated during a truly chaotic summer! : ) It's not bad... just chaotic!

: )

Good afternoon and I hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday afternoon! After an extremely long and somewhat difficult work meeting (supervisor was not in the best mood) yesterday I had a headache and could not wait to get home and chill out. I ended up falling asleep early but of course could not sleep the whole night so around midnight I was up channel surfing. At 3 am I was still up watching tv and came across the movie "Eddie Murphy - Raw". It was a movie w/Eddie doing stand up comedy back in the late 80's. The movie is very vulgar so if cursing/raunchiness is not your thing you definitely would not enjoy it but I love this movie. I can't believe I actually was able to see it when it first premiered in 1987 b/c I was only 14 years old. As an adult, I know there was no way I should of been aloud to see this movie so the movie theater was definitely messed up by letting my friends and I in. Anyway, watched the movie until 5 am and was up by 8:30 am.

Today's workout is complete. I was able to complete 2.5 miles of a Leslie Sansone dvd while holding 3 lb weights in each hand before I began giving my house a thorough cleaning. I always try to give the house a nice thorough cleaning before leaving on vacation but was so busy w/work assignments that I could not do it before heading to PA, so, I got it in today.

Kelly: If you stay focused you have a great chance of achieving your goal by the time you leave for your cruise. Good luck.

Sphinctress: Hope your surgery and recovery go smoothly and your grinding it out really soon. Great job w/the 4 lb loss too.

Good idea in parking a mile away from the theater! I went to a musical today with my mom & sister & parked at the bottom of a steep hill that had steps all the way up to the theater. Those steps were killer, & my mom was laughing at herself for doing it. She gets around pretty awesomely *(is that a word) for being 67 years old! Today was pretty much a rest day here as well. Only got half my yard mowed & did a quick DVR dance workout.

See you all tomorrow for check in! I'm hoping the scale likes me. I didn't do good at all today on my water. :grumble: And that is RARE for me. All I drink is water unless its a glass of milk occasionally. I should have taken a bottle with me to the musical. :ohwell:
