    Nice!
    Sounds like a good workout! :D I have to go grocery shopping with my mom in a bit, which takes about 2 hrs usually, so quite a few calories burned! :D

    very good day. had my first weigh-in a long while. i knew what range i'd been in when i started eating healthier because of my waistline and clothes and the fact that i've been a lot of weights before and know what they look like, and i knew for sure i'd been losing weight because my coworkers all commented, but i was still so nervous stepping on that scale. i just kept telling myself not to freak out if it was a bigger number than i expected, but it was all for naught, 'cause it looks like i've lost 12 lbs in 7 weeks, and i didn't even start exercising till week 4!! so i burned a few extra calories today doing a happy dance. :) also, went on a long urban hike today, 12 miles from downtown LA to west hollywood and back (burned 1100 cal), and got some xmas shopping done while out then came home and had a specialty of mine: brown rice, kidney beans, tomato, chicken, and romaine lettuce all tossed up in a warm salad.

    Nice! :) I went Christmas shopping and have my bowling league tonight, burned 702 cal :) I still have over 1000 cal left to eat today :P
    I weighed in today, gained 0.6 lbs, so not totally bad but still not a loss :(

    Got some healthy snacks to take with me in the big truck and I plan on moving around as much as I can while listening to my music. I am not sure if I Am losing weight or not because of no scale but I am still trying to figure out how to do this on the road.

    Hope yall are staying warm with this cold weather

    I got a new motivation the other day before I jumped in the shower. I saw myself naked from a new angle and it has put more determination in me to lose the weight.. I can't get the image out of my head and it realy bothers me what I looked like.

    So now i am realy thinking about what I can do to make this goal a reality and stick with it this time

    I don't do weigh ins because I don't have access to a scale on the road

    Can't you ask the transport weigh stations to tell you the weigh of your truck with you in it, then again without you in it :-P jk

    Hopefully you are able to figure out a system for the road :-)

    First day of the new year and have 1 workout done. I will get another one in tomorrow before I check out of my motel. I did 60 minutes on the stationary bike and tomorrow it will be 60 minutes on the treadmill. I found that time went a little quicker reading a book. I just wish the seat on the bike was a little more comfy cause my tushy was hurting half way but I pushed past it. :laugh:

    I am really enjoying my new trainer she is showing me how to be healthy on the road and what things to eat and what to avoid

    Sorry don't mean ramble but I don't have a lot of people to talk to in the truck

    Hope yall had a great holiday and a healthy new year :drinker:
