    Jan 3: Goal- 188

    I hope I can keep my exercises up this week. I have no idea what is going on with my foot but I know it's killing me. It's swelled, throbbing and all black & blue.
    Just in case! Does anyone know any good sitting exercises? I'm going to try and do my Leslie Sanzone and Wii Fit Plus as much as I can though no matter what.

    Good afternoon everyone! I did not really feel like exercising today. I think TOM is lurking so I just dont have any energy. Anyway, I managed to convince myself to get up and get moving and 30 minutes later the workout was complete. Today I completed the Cardio-week 1 dvd from the Kettleworx series.

    Good afternoon everyone! Today I completed the Plyometrics dvd from the P90X program. Although I did not procrastinate with today's workout I must admit I'm not really not feeling it this week. I hope this feeling passes quickly because I've been doing so well and I would hate to have a setback.

    Good afternoon everyone! I continue to struggle with my desire to workout this week. I'm really having a hard time getting into it but somehow I managed to push through the entire 60 minutes of Billy Blank's boot camp dvd. It was absolute torture but I did give it my best.

    Good morning everyone! The TOM is in full effect therefore my energy level is basically non-existent. I have some meetings to attend today so that meant I had to get the workout in this morning therefore procrastination was not an option. Alarm clock sounded and I got out of bed, completed the morning rituals and then pushed play on the dvd player. Today I completed the Burn Intervals dvd from the Chalean Extreme program.

    Good morning everyone and happy, happy Friday! TOM is kicking my tail so of course it has made my desire to exercise virtually non existent but I managed to pull out 30 minutes of the Cardio Mix and Melt dvd from the Melt It Off series.

    Good afternoon everyone! Since I was feeling a tad bit better and the weather here in GA is absolutely beautiful I decided to head to the local park in order to get in today's workout. Today I walked the park trail three times for a total of 5.64 miles and then I walked around the parking lot for 15 minutes as a cool down.

    Tonight I am heading to an Old School party. They hold this party once a month in a local hotel ballroom and they only play R&B and Hip Hop from the 1980's and 1990's. I absolutely love this music and always have a good time when I attend. It's soooo popular that there's usually between 2000-3500 people in attendance every month. Can't wait!

    So I took the advice of so many and went ahead and rasied my calories this past week. Holy moly! It worked!!! I lost 3.5 lbs. this week. I also joined a burn 3,500 calorie challenge this week. Whatever it was, I'm just HAPPY I am seeing some results. I was seriously getting discouraged. I am back to the same weight I was on Nov. 1 so here's hoping that things will continue to go down. Even if I don't reach the below 200 lbs. mark by the New Year, I'll be all right!

    Keep up the great work everyone!!! :flowerforyou:

    Hi all,

    I will be back in this challenge this week. I had problems with some prescriptions that caused me to swell up with water weight, but it's fixed now, so I should be able to post a weight this week. It may not be nice, but it should be close to nice.

    I hope everyone in the USA does well this week with the first of several eating holidays coming our way.

    I swear I really struggle to stay on task this time of the year. I never want to exercise and always want to snack which does not make for a good combination. In addition to this laziness I feel my arthritis in my lower back and right knee has flared up and really bothering me today. I procrastinated all morning with today's workout but finally got it done.

    Today I completed the Cardio Mix and Melt dvd from the Melt It Off series.

    I just really feel like I'm slacking when I look at what my start weight was in September! It sucks that I had the gain from the cruise, but I really wish I was closer to hitting ONEderland! I worked out every single night at the gym last week & Sat morning too...I helped CJ clean the garage Sat night and helped him move for 14 hours yesterday. I know I had way to much sodium & not enough water yesterday (plus 2 beers Sat night) so hopefully if I flush it out today & tomorrow I will have a better weigh in. I'm just really wanting to get out of the 200s. :ohwell:

    CONGRATS MARIE ON HITTING 30 LBS LOST! :bigsmile:

    Good afternoon everyone! My arthritis continues to bother my lower back and right knee so I will be taking it easy this week. Today I completed the Burn It Off dvd from the Chalean Extreme program.


    Congratulations to all who continue to lose weight. Keep up the great work!

    Good afternoon everyone the long weekend is about to begin. Since the arthritis was still bothering me I kept the workout light. Today I completed the Cardio X dvd from the P90X program.

    Remember what you are thankful for, be it family or health or the new lifestyle. Indulging a bit or even a lot for one holiday dinner is not the end of the world. So please don't stress about the small things and remember to think of what you are thankful for!! Celebrate and enjoy your family and friends and your healthy life!!

    Happy Thanksgiving my MFP pals. Today has been a great day. It began with me completing the Fat Blaster dvd from the Turbo Jam series and then eating a nice hardy bowl of oatmeal with a banana. I then got dressed and headed to the volunteer program. I was assigned to the clothing center which is set up like a little department store and I was responsible for escorting clients in and helping them select items of clothing. I also assisted with folding and hanging up clothes. Everyone was in great spirits and I am so glad I decided to spend my Thanksgiving day giving back. It was very rewarding.

    Marie: Thank you very much for the well wishes. I don't know why my arthritis has been bothering me so much but I hope it improves soon. Hope you're having better success with your arthritis and back problems than I am.
