Dang girl 5 pounds! way to go!

hey ya'll. it's like i can't keep up this past month. :brokenheart: now i can't really exercise b/c i have abcesses (they are like large boils) under my arms... :sad: this is startin 2 suck. i haven't been eating that well at nite 4 the last month & i haven't been exercisin at all. this evenin i'm gonna join my softball team as a substitute (which means i may or may not play) & it'll b the only exercise that i'll have had in a month. the abcess under my right arm is the 1 that is killin me right now. so i'm wonderin if i'll b able 2 even swing a bat or run :frown:

i'm goin 2 the dr this wk 2 c if i can get them drained. the appt is 4 friday but i may go 2morrow nite if i can't take the pain no more :frown: then i won't b exercisin 4 a while again <sigh>

but this wk i'm gonna get my eatin in order at least. then later when i'm feelin better i'll get 2 workin out again. so i'll b MIA 4 a while :grumble:

i haven't been losin any weight this whole time also but that was 2 b expected. i've been yo-yo between 229 and 232. but hopefully that will change.

cnbethea,

It has gotten quiet around here..

I've been busy painting and cleaning up a house.. it's SO hot. I know I've burned some serious calories doing that! But I don't wear my HRM because I don't want to get it messed up or anything - guess that's bonus calories.

Yesterday I decided to take a run on the treadmill. I walked/ran for over an hour and burned almost 800 calories! The best part was I ran at least half of that time doing 7, 8, and even 10 mph! I usually don't try 10 because it sounds like the treadmill is gonna blow up, but I did it yesterday! I just did intervals like going 3 mph for a .1 mile, then 7 for .1, then 3, 8, 3, 10... yadda yadda. It was a great workout.

What can we do to liven it up a little? Maybe we can write our personal weekly goals each Monday after we weigh in and make sure to keep everyone updated through the week on how we did? Just a thought..

Hey guys I am still around we have 5 weeks before labor day!! I am looking foward to working hard as I can these next 5 weeks to lose as much as I can. I like your idea Blondie925 here are my August goals:

My goals for August to lose 8lbs
To go to the gym everyday except Sunday
M,W,F weight lifting
M- Kickboxing
T-Zumba
W-Bootcamp
Th-Some cardio class
F-Boot camp and Zumba circuit
S-Zumba
Elliptical for 10-15min each day
Complete my challenge workouts
Eat out no more than 5x's
No eating pass 7 P.M.
Sundays maybe go for a walk or do yard work something creative!!

I will report in each week how things are going hope everyone had a great weekend!!

My weight is still the same.. but I am going to post my goals for August:

- Make dinner at home through the week! I eat out so much.. I know it's what's slowing my progress.
- Work out 5-6 days a week.. I'm doing ChaLean Extreme for the second time. So I get 3 strength days in + cardio on most days after my strength sessions and on my non-lifting days.
- No carbs after 7:30 on week nights, 8 on weekends.
- Accurately track my calories... even on the days I know I went over I still need to keep track instead of throwing the day away.

I'm starting this month weighing 195.4.. I hope I can end it weighing under 190! My 5 year anniversary (since my boyfriend and I started dating) is September 25, and my 22nd birthday is right after.. October 3. I want to be able to comfortably wear my size 11 jeans by then! My 13s fit good, and the 11s are really tight. So that would be a great present to myself!

Good luck everyone! We can do it!

i'm still here...thanks for fixing my start weight cnbethea....no change for me this week...
my2loves 12lbs down is awesome...keep up the good work girls....
grrrrr, i'm tracking my food and exercise...i'm not exercising as much as i would like, i'm not eating as well as i should be (going over in calories for extra snacky **** i ordinarily would not eat (as much as 1400 the other day - WTF????)

yesterday morning i didnt get up for group power so last night after getting home with the kids at 630, i got them dinner and "planned" on doing 30 day shred when my husband got home...after he got changed and came back downstairs, i asked him if he could "watch" the kids WHILE they were eating dinner so i could have 20 mins and he sighed and rolled his eyes...i didnt tell him what i wanted to do but didnt feel like i had to....he knows me, he knows where my head is at right now....because of his reaction, i planted my *kitten* down in the chair and stubbornly said never ****ing mind...he was like what? what did you want to do?? i told him go exercise for 20 mins but forget it....he "URGED" me to go do it but at that point i was so pissed at his initial reaction i let it ruin my chance to go do it...i dont know why i go backwards like this, i dont know why i even ASKED in the first place...i should have said, i'm going upstairs to do exercise, i'll start the tubs when i'm done...please send the kids upstairs at 730 - BUT nope that is not how i handled it and it is my fault not his that i havent exercised in two days.....my head is not in the "right place".....not sure what is going on....time to refocus for sure....

i brought my sneakers and an extra shirt to work today...think i'm going to try to knock out the 3rd day of C25K for week 1...it is friggin hot, probably gonna be close to 90degrees today but 30 mins wont kill me right...then at least i will have something done for today and can get over this HUMP....if it is too hot for the run/walk interval, maybe i'll just do a walk by the water to clear my head, help me refocus....i have to do something drastic soon or nothing is going to happen....

sorry for the rant/book, i just needed to vent to people who are very likely in the same boat as me....

Has everyone fallen off the bandwagon? Bueller? Bueller? :huh:

I think I've lost at least 5 lbs in sweat the last 2 days while loading our 4 BR house into the moving trailer. It's so hot and humid here!

My scale is packed away so I won't be weighing-in this week, but I'll be back on top of it next week! Once I find my scale, that is.

Hope everyone is having an enjoyable weekend!

I'm still here. Sorry I haven't checked in lately. I want to wait a few weeks between weigh ins. My weight loss has slowed down so much. I need to break through this plateau! :grumble:

will i weigh myself this morning. 166.4lbs.

thanks cnbethea

cnbethea put me down again. i wasn't going to but i went ahead and weigh myself, 165.2lbs :happy:
