    Happy Monday.... I'm so happy! :bigsmile: I've lost 4 lbs. over the past two weeks. Las Monday I weighed in after a long weekend at a tennis tournament and I had maintained. Today I weighed in (once this a.m. and again a few minutes ago) and I'm down 4 lbs. YAY! That brings my total to 14 lbs.

    I just came home from a professional development class, so now I'm off to do the Shred... moving up to Level 2 today... and a walk.

    Good Mornin'!

    I hope everyone had a great weekend :wink:
    This week's goals are: Cardio 4-5x, Pilates/yoga 2x followed by strength training; with a 20 min walk before each.
    Keep practicing portion control, that means measuring for me, and plan snacks for less temptations. Ooooh, I made those 88 calories brownies yesterday......yummy!

    Hey Brenda, have fun with the kiddies today :happy:
    Way to go on your scale movin, Natalie!! :drinker:

    TTYL~

    Thanks, soup78! When the scale moves like that I get extra motivated.

    Those 88 calorie brownies sound good... Is the recipe on MFP? If not... please share. :bigsmile:

    I just finished the Shred Level 2 (much harder than Level 1) + 2 mile very brisk walk.

    I go back to work (teacher) in another week so I am changing my exercise time from the mornings to around 5:00 p.m., which is when I will get off of work. I want that to be a habit of exercising every afternoon to make the transition back to work easier for me.

    Hi everybody! :happy: I was sooooo worried about the weekend, as I don't go the club and workout! Sooo..... I got creative about burning calories, on Sat I brushed out a field for about 1300 calories of work (and a better looking field), and then Sun, my wonderful wiff and I went on a 3 hour bike ride (2300 calories! WOW).
    So, today, OMG am I sore (especially that bottom unmentionable place, :noway: ) but I dod go in and workout this morning. And now, just to burn off a few more calories, I went brushed out another part of the field! YEA, 1500 calories gone!

    so, here's to hoping that I can even MOVE tommorow, lol! :bigsmile:

    Congratulations Natalie424...however, I think I know where that 4 lbs. went:angry: Seriously, I ate exactly right, exercised more than I have in years....and had 4 lbs. back this morning. I'm thinking that what it really is is water...I had some salty pistachios yesterday and I think I'm very sensitive to water retention. I'll check it out again in the morning.

    I too am a teacher...in New York City....I don't go back until August 28th, so I am trying to take full advantage of establishing a routine of gym, and eating now. What is your plan for eating during the work day? That has always been a problem for me...our lunch time is 10:38am...by 3pm I'm starving.

    My goal this week is 1.9 lbs. That's what the food/exercise log says I should lose per week if I maintain the calorie count I'm doing. Wish me luck.

    Wow... that is such an early lunch! I would be starving too. My first official day back is August 25th, but next week I will be in working in my room. I don't know my schedule yet, so I'm not sure when I will have lunch or planning time. I will make sure I eat a healthy satisfying breakfast and pack a lunch with healthy options. I also pack snacks so that I'm not tempted to go to the vending machine in the lounge. I take a huge bottle of water, but I might buy another bottle to use because I am drinking so much more water now. I also thought about buying a huge jar of almonds and a measuring scoop to keep in my cabinet for after school.

    What grade do you teach?

    Good luck!

    Hi Natalie

    I teach High School English. I've taught all four grades and have been able to introduce the AP program in my school. I work in an area where most of my kids have been to more funerals than I hope ever to attend, and it is a challenge. But I love it .... every day.

    I always take my lunch, as cafeteria food...as good as it is...is not going to be good for my waist. The nuts are a good idea, are you doing any specific eating plan, or just watching the calories? I've enjoyed using the logs on this site and boy does it keep me in line.

    What grade do you teach?

    Hi everyone!!

    Well- how did my first day of FREEDOM go? I put my kids on the bus and....
    went back to bed!!

    nah just kidding- i took my badly behaved puppies for a walk, then hopped in the car, went to the gym- did an hour of Zumba, followed by 40 minutes of pilates- i left early when i realized the instructor was trying to kill me- i had to meet the school bus, after all!!

    Anyway, went out for lunch- say yay for the salad!! All in all, a wonderful day, i am struggling to stay awake though!!!

    Now, hopefully tomorow will be the same rush of enthusiasm and good intentions carried out!

    Peace out, catch up with y'all later.:flowerforyou:

    OK... so last night I had the midnight munchies :frown: I usually just have a tblspn of peanut butter, and back to bed, but noooooooo...... the braunschweiger was a callin my name! :tongue: So I make half a sanny, with a wee bit of mayo. This morning when I dutifully *giggle* logged in my snack...ZOWIE! That was 288 calories! YIKES! So, I went to work out, and did 2 sets on the orbiter, and a lap around the circuit for strength training to get back on track. I'm gonna go finish the brush cutting in my field for some more calories to burn, and then grill some ribs for diner, and still have a great day! :happy:

    It's amazing isn't it how many calories are in such things. I pigged out the other day and had a piece of pizza..1 slice of pizza from my local pizza guy...1....250 calories :sick: I was shocked. I also started writing down every little thing I put in my mouth...it is totally amazing how many calories I consume cooking. I have to watch out for those.

    I'm back to school in two more weeks and I mean to stay off the stuff and eat only healthy things :grumble:

    You know, there was a topic a little while ago about someone falling off (and losing) their wagon- then ultimately finding it at the gym. I think i found my will power there- without even looking for it!!

    I had Lunch out- salad and clun soda- good girl, then dinner out tonight- we went to red robin, and i had my burger, and half myt fries. The red robin website is awesome- so i planned out my burger, and took all the bad for me things off, petite sized it- and went from 1036 calories, to just 504. Woo hoo. Then took the kiddies off to coldstone creamery for ice cream- and i walked out with NOTHING in my hand- i went and gota coffee instead. This seems to be a new me- making better choices- i like it!!

    MA

    MA... I teach 6th grade language arts and social studies. I know what you mean about the cafeteria... that's why I pack my lunch too. You asked about my eating plan...I'm not doing any specific program. I'm just staying within my calories with healthy food options and exercising daily. Some days my exercise is more intense than others. The food log and exercise log hold me accountable... I love that!

    Today I had planned to do the Shred Level 2 + a walk... I had a really hectic day and only manage to walk 35 minutes. Bummer.

    Today was a good day. I unintentionally did the Jared food plan with a 6-inch sub for lunch and another 6-inch sub for dinner. A bowl of microwave popcorn and some fruit is coming after my w/o which I am on my way to do now. Incredibly hectic day but I am 100% commited to doing the treadmill every single day. DH set it up so that I can watch TV so I recorded the Olympics. Fast forward through the commercials. SOOOOOO inspired by those athletes . . .

    Keep it up, Everybody! Rough days just make you appreciate the good ones, no?

    I stayed up watched the Olympics last night, so combines with a few days of heavy workouts for me, boy howdy was I tired this morning! I really just wanted to pull the covers over, and not get out of bed. But, the (somewhat) more rational part of me realiozed that simply wouldn't do. So... I got up, went and worked out, and it was pretty dragging. yuck. Didn't burn as many calories as normal, couldn't get my heart rate up, blah, blah. But I pesevered, and came home, and made a nice lunch, then went for a little walk with the wonderful wiff (luvya Ezzie:love: ), and feel mucho bettero! Now for some more Olympics tonight, and a great day tomorrow.
    Hope everybody gets a gold in here too!

    Today was definitely a gold medal day for me. Finally made it back to the gym after a three day hiatus and did 35 fat burning minutes on the bike and then another 35 fat burning minutes on the elliptical and boy am I happy. The food is another story......I managed a very good breakfast, but fell short at lunch...I'm thinking of having only a salad for dinner, but I am starving...so I have to go figure something out.

    You guys rock- you definately make em think twice about scarfing something i shouldn't, and also about skipping a workout.

    I di not get to the gym today, as i had a dentist appt, but i did walk for 70 min while my son was at football practice. I love multitasking!!! Next to the football field is this lovely neighborhood with all these wooded trails and lakes and such- its os peaceful and beautiful- i just love walking there.:smile:

    STill 700 calories down- a good day foodwise- life is good- now if only that damn scale would move.... i love the feeling when my bod is so tired and a little sore from a good workout!!!

    keep up the good work- i am with you jamerz- i am finding it impossible to turn off the olympics and get to sleep- they are sooooo exciting- esp the swimming with all those records being SHATTERED!!

    Peace out, get some sleep, see you tomorrow:yawn:
