"H20" Seventy Days of Shredding those EGGGstra Pounds Week 2

PS: Sick of my ticker not showing up. im not sure why Im getting the broken up box looking thing but Im getting ticked (ticker... ticked... lmbo) off!

I'm slow getting into challenge this week. Last week wasn't great, but I did lose a little so that is good. I'm up to 17 miles, all of them in a canoe. My healthier habit was supposed to be going to sleep earlier, but I failed miserably at it. I'm a good water drinkier, so that wasn't hard.

I'm going to have to work to find a new fruit or veggie, I may need to go to the asian market to find something new. I was there yesterday, but just for staples (stir fry fixings). I know they have Durian, but I'm kind fo afraid of that. They have lots of greens I've never heard of though. Lots of roots too. One of my things I want to be better at is trying at least one new recipie a week.

I also need to be better about posting on a more regular basis, checking in once a week is probablly not really sufficient.

Welcome Tricia and Blueviolet (hope I remembered the right names, I have the memory of a goldfish)

I have a bit of a NSV going on, dressed top to toe in UK size 12 Think That might be a US 8, although again I have memory fail.

But yay, good times.

linemansgirl - oh TOM. Beets, huh? They skeeve me out, especially when they're all jelly-like and on a salad. You'll have to tell me how they turn out when you make 'em baked potato style.

tanniew78 - was your ticker working before? How strange that it isn't showing up now. Maybe you updated it and for some reason there was a bug/glitch in the system?

cazzincali - YAY for the new scale being a friend and not foe! What brand did you get? I'm looking into breaking up with the scale that I've got. I get that TOM lower back pain too. It's unlike any other kind of back pain and it suuuuuucks. And I'm a big 'ol fan of the Big O!

maytanewfie - great job getting up to 17 miles! That's a great chunk of the 100 mile challenge done! What is durain?

smalltowngirl504 - you know I actually love your ticker, right? I just miss that vacation/honeymoon so much. You're taking one of the Disney Cruises, right? Double-dip itinerary? Have fun getting back into shred!

bjshooter - :laugh: at your goldfish memory! We had a commercial in the states about 5 years ago that showed a goldfish in his bowl, rediscovering his castle every time he took a lap aroud his bowl...he was all "hey look, a castle!" *swim swim swim* "hey look, a castle!" CONGRATS on your NSV! I've got no real idea what the UK/US size conversion is, but that's fantastic.

JeninBelguim - Wow, you walked twice?! *bow* That's great work right there. And definitely great job avoiding the gummy bears! Yeah, I'm very fortunate to have this friend in my life. We were college friends turned roommates turned one of my bridesmaids.



Sooo, happy Thursday! Question to those of you who belong to a gym...do you feel like you get the most out of it? Hubby and I are seriously researching joining a gym but our problem is the closest one to us that we're interested in is like 7 miles away from us. From what I read on the boards, it sounds like people are all worried about the fashion show at the gym (i.e. looking cute, panty lines, etc.) and I've read in Yelp reviews about creeps wanting to "help you with your form". Am I overly-worrying about this? I think we're going to grab our 7 day guest pass to really give the gym we're liking a whirl, but I'm just still stewing...

Your poor treadmill! But I'm glad you guys are able to get an elliptical! That's great! I've got no idea about the brands out there...maybe hit up a couple sporting stores and give the machines they have a little test drive.

I got the official go ahead to start running again today - YAY
Good job really as 6 weeks tomorrow I travel to a whole different country (Scotland:laugh: ) for my first ever HM!!

@Pink - I am a member of my local gym and I really like it there. It's full of very normal people who are either trying to get fit, or keep their fitness up, and that's it. It's not a fashion show, and there are no creepy types, I honestly think you will be ok. And if you like the gym, try to negotiate the fees - I did and now pay half price

Got in three more miles today! I can't wait to get some new running shoes, though... these have seen the end of their life! My legs were getting pretty sore by the end, but hopefully the next run will be better.

I have a long weekend starting today so I'm excited to get a few things done around my house and spend some time with my husband when he gets home tomorrow (he's a trucker)!!! Also I ran into someone I used to lead scouts with at the store today and she commented on how great I'm looking (haven't seen each other in a couple years) which made me feel amazing! She's like "your legs are so skinny!!!!" What a great feeling!

Hope you all have a great Thursday!

did i miss the 100 mile challenge?? I totally wanna do that, can someone tell me more about it please please??

Can I count hte 5 miles ive already run this week, and when is the 70 days up,

Secondly i weigh in on fridays, so tomorrow, Ive only gotten in 600 calories , its going to be a low cal day for me, like starvation simply because im not hungry, i have a horrid cough that makes my throat hurt and my kids are driving me crazy, i think i want an apple though to take me up to about 900 calories!!

I hope everoyne has an awesome thursday!!!!!!!!

And I go to a gym and trust me its not a beauty contest there... it seems that I do care what I look like sometimes, but thats a personal choice, and who the heck is worried about panty lines...lol not me and surely thats not what I am looking at while I am on the elliptical ... I say do it, I dont get the most out of my membership, but thats my own fault, if you are willing to put forththe effort than I say its worth the money!


No we are not doing the cruise, i chose that picture because it was my favorite...LOL... we are just doing disney , 6 nights 7 days... 3 kids, and a lot of motrin and water...HAHA!!! it should be a good time... stressful and lots of good food, we have hte deluxe dining plan but plan to eat only half portions and also be aware of what I am ordering!!

What's weetabix?

smalltowngirl504 - Your WDW trip sounds like it is going to be a blast. Friends have told me how much they liked the dining plan, and it sounds like you've got it figured out! Don't forget to enjoy yourself while you're there, too. You're going to walk around SO much I'm sure you're going to burn off a lot of calories! Heck, when I went to WDW I ate anything and everything I wanted and because I was walking all day for 6 days in a row, I came home LIGHTER than when I went! :laugh: Are you going to eat at Le Cellier? Or Sci Fi Drive-In? GAH! Color me super jealous!

We have reservations at both of those places actually.. Also Yatchmen steak house Tusker house, T-Rex, Coral Reef, Teppan edo,Chef mickeys, the plaza, , tonys, hoop de due muscal revue ,Crystal palace and Wilderness Trails end... Should be a good time, and we plan to also eat at the flame tree bbq and another quick service place in MK, I am sure all the walking will help balance out all the incredible eating I plan on doing...LOL, plus 2 snacks a day... Its making me hungry just thinking about not cooking for an entire week!!! LOL!!!

*jawdrop* Well done!! Please eat a pretzel bread (or four!) for me at Le Cellier! I don't know if you can get in to these places with the dining plan, but I've heard fantastic things about California Grill @ the Contemporary and Ohana @ the Polynesian. I love that figuring out where you're going to eat is a big part of WDW travel planning. It's so fun!
