    Woo, alright, finally bought a scale so my first weigh was slightly late. BUT atleast now I have a little more faith in my weighing equipment. That wonky thing at the gym just looks like it's seen better years...

    Having a reliable scale is super important. My boyfriend likes to joke that my scale is broken and that is why it says I am losing. I swear he is so mean to me sometimes haha,.

    Great laurakrowe! Glad to see someone else just on the boat.

    How is everyone doing this week?? I had a few bigger meals than I wanted to but I am just going to power through it and do my best the next two days. If I have a gain on Friday I am going to just look at it as a new starting point. I know I can do this. I just need to get this stress under control.

    I do nonfat greek yogurt, sometimes I slice up some apple and dip it. I also really like veggies and hummus. Other than that I eat almonds(kinda high in good for you fat)

    Yay! Glad to know others are feelin' my pain. I already missed yesterday's (I know, day 2? really?) because I went to the gym for some cardio and yoga instead but I think I'm gonna do a double session (lvl1 and lvl2) to make up. Is that stupid/insane of me?

    be careful Deeders, it is easy to hurt yourself that way. Just listen to your body.

    Yeah, I agree. There's definitely a difference between good workout pain and bad workout pain. I ended up doing a double session of the lvl 1 shred this evening, and my knees started feeling a little sore towards the end of the side body lunges. Hopefully I'll know whether it did anything bad by tomorrow's run with my friend. My arms will definitely feel a good sore tomorrow though. Damn push-ups...

    Yeah the push ups are killer and the walking push ups on level two are crazy, but I'm getting better at them. C25K Week 7 Day 2 this afternoon after shopping for new running shoes (so hopefully no more blistered feet) and probably just strength training in the morning because I have a conference during the day and a banquet that night. I will be weighing in the morning and I'm looking forward to a loss :)

    Good job Everyone! I actually gained this week :( super lame but that is ok I figured i would gain some of the weight back since I did a cleanse last week. I am going to even out my goal to be at 165ish. It is going to be tough since I train but I am going to try hard. We will see if I can do it. Lets just say I want to weight less in any case hehe.

    2/18/11- 169.6
