Checking in from yesterday: 1571 eaten / 156 exercise calories / 215 over. Yes.. over! Ugh.
I did update it in my status thread, but I got home yesterday from work and my body was just tired, and all I wanted to do was lay on the couch on bond with my dog. (i'm still feeling guilty about leaving her for 4 days). So, I didn't exercise other than do my normal dog walks... and didn't even do an evening one, as I took her to the dog park instead (though I was walking around there as well). Food wasn't horrible. Just too much. I was having one of those evenings that even though I wasn't hungry, I just wanted to put food in my mouth. Luckily, I don't have any "bad" foods in the house, so just ate more than I needed to. But, a calorie is a calorie and I'm a bit pissed at myself. It's just one day. But now I'm going on a trip, and the eating won't be fab on that either. Let's just hope for some good exercise there. The weather's supposed to be crappy all weekend, so I don't know if we'll be able to get our long run in.
Just a reminder that I'm leaving this afternoon and will be gone through Monday afternoon, so, while I'll bring my laptop, if the internet's not free at the hotel, I probably won't be posting much/any, but will still log foods. I'll still plan on posting the weigh in chart Monday evening when I return.
As I'll be out of town, I stepped on the scale this morning for the weekly weigh-in. The verdict? 177.2. Down 1.2 pounds. I'll take it.
Amy- you're just moving so much. Proud of all that exercise you're doing!
Hailie: ugh. how frustrating! though, I have to say, while it's fine to have a splurge meal every once in a while, try not to frame is as congratulating yourself for losing the weight. you don't want to give yourself food "prizes" think of other ways to treat yourself because you do deserve something--- like a pampering, a new outfit, etc. Just my two cents!0 -
Hallie- I agree with Kristina....don't tell yourself that you "deserve" bad food. Food is never a reward; its supposed to be the fuel your body needs to function. Eventually you will get to a point where you realize that bad food will make your body feel bad too. Yesterday I had a chicken gyro and french fries dipped in ranch for lunch. It made me feel fat, bloated and incredibly tired by the afternoon. Try to connect the dots about how your body feels and what you are eating. Not trying to scold you or anything, just speaking from experience. :flowerforyou: And no, that still didn't give your grandparents the right to say anything about your choice of food. They may think they are encouraging you or reminding you to make better choices, but the way it comes across is condescending and judgemental. Trust me, again, I speak from expierence. You are not alone in this.0

Hailie: I agree with Kendal & Kristina that you need to find non-food ways to reward yourself. I reward myself with little things - a manicure or snuggling up with my Kindle (guilt-free) as well as bigger things like: getting new clothes or shoes or my hair done. It was hard, at first, to not look at food as a reward because that's how my mom rewarded us ever since we were little (she'd bake cookies, cupcakes, make a special meal or whatever for a job well done). I still have tendencies to want to reward myself with food but I make a conscious decision not to do that. I like to make room in my daily calorie intake for a treat every day (some dark chocolate or something) but it's not a reward for anything, it's just part of my day. I also agree with what Kendal said about certain non-healthy foods making you feel cruddy. Too much grease or salt or fat really does make my stomach feel upset as well as bloated. But I totally feel your frustration on someone pointing out that you are on a "diet" - that irritates me to no end when that happens. I'm not on a diet, I'm eating healthier and - sometimes- that includes pizza. You're doing good, girl- keep at it!!
Kristina: Congratulations on your loss this week! Pretty cool!! I hope your trip is safe.
Kendal: I hope you're doing better and I hope the sun has come out for you. Get back on your P90X!!!!
Today has been a pretty ok day so far. I think I'm way under on my calories, so I'm gonna have plenty for pizza- Friday (it's homemade and is a whole wheat crust, never fear!). I did my doggie walk and ran for 35 min on the treadmill. The first mile was just a steady run but the second mile and a half was alternating sprints and slow jogging. It was AWESOME to be able to sprint at 6.5 miles an hour for a minute and then go down to a 5.0 on the treadmill to "recover". A year ago, I couldn't even jog at 5 on the treadmill and now it's my recovery jog!!
Wishing everyone a lovely Friday!!0 -
Hailie - You totally rock for logging that meal! I have a hard time logging meals like that. MFP is hard to estimate cals on for meals out. If you made a cake, use the recipe function and log all the ingredients and see what a serving would be. You pick the serving size too. It really helps. As for eating out food, you have to estimate. I find the best way to do that is to break the meal down into pieces...bread, butter on the bread, cheese, fries, etc. I have a feeling that your lunch alone was more than 1000 cals.
Just remember that this is a learning process..its what makes it a lifestyle change, and that the more you learn the better at it you will get. A good way to eat the foods you want is to make them in a healthier way...such as a baked open faced "grilled cheese sandwich" using only one slice of bread, no butter and low fat cheese. And baked sweet potato fries or baked regular fries that you cut yourself. Look online for healthier version recipes. There are a ton of them out there. And remember we can help you too
You are doing great, so keep on learning and moving forward girl. These lessons are something we ALL had to go through and they will help you out so much when you graduate from highschool and move on.
Kristina - have fun on your trip!
Amy - good job on the run!
Kendal - I'm cracking the MFP whip at you girl!!! I know you can do it! Keep moving!
I can't see any of the other posts and I need to get going for the day.
OH final numbers for yesterday: 2788 burned(I guess this isn't too bad for not working out but...)/2600 eaten (I actually bet I ate more)/188 deficit. I will just call today a bust.
I think I am going to try to keep my eaten cals right around 2000 per day and see how that treats me.
I will weigh in tomorrow morning and see where I am at.0 -
1st day back on track and so far so good - hurrah.
Kristina - hope your trip goes well and congrats on more weight lost. Try not to be too down on yourself for needing some rest, you are pushing yourself really hard and body does need to recover.........which isv ery different to not working out enough.
Amy - how wonderful, 5mph to recover is great, what a lift.
Hailie - have ummed and arred about responding to your post, especially as others have but here goes. Having read through most of last thread and all of this one, you are doing so, so well with your change of life style, with your prom as an apparent goal. Part of changing life styles is finding alternatives to food as the 'upper' in life and rewards for doing good. Again, from experience, it can be really hard to come up with alternatives but with your prom in sight, maybe trying some facials/manicures etc to find the one you want for your special night would be 'reward'. Choosing food which will be not so good for us in the long term should be seen as just that, a choice for that specific day.
As for grandparents / parents / friends / any others who join in, they always seem so good at adding to our own 'sabotaging thoughts' and it is easy to slide back to old ways in repsonse. Maybe letting them know how what they say makes you feel would encourage a change of vocabulary for them. ?Worth a try maybe0 -
Lacey, I hope everything goes okay with the councellor. It doesn't sound fun at all, but if in the end it improves things, then it will totally be worthwhile. Still, I'm sorry you're dealing with that. No fun. And thai food is amazing! Yum!
Amy, I pretty much guarantee that next week you'll have some ridiculous loss, since this week has been stagnant for you and you haven't stopped busting your butt or eating right. Plus your attitude towards everything is so good. And that is so awesome that you are at a 5mph recovery for running. 5mph for me right now is me huffing and puffing! I know I say it all the time, but you really are an inspiration. Thanks!
Hailie, I know everyone else has hit on this already, but I couldn't NOT chime in too... this is a lifestyle change... and with that being said, you have to change the lifestyle! Food can't be a reward, it can't be something that you say "oh I've been so good so now I'm going to eat a big mac and fries and a shake and that's ok." You have to think about it as what you are doing to better your body, to allow you to function the best you can. So just remember that. No matter how good you've been, french fries are pretty much always bad for you.
Kristina, aren't you still under on cals from yesterday though because that is the amount that you're over the deficit? That's how I track my cals and I think you do too. So yeah, your deficit wasn't what it should have been, but its still a deficit. And at least it wasn't donuts!
Have a blast in Pittsburgh and good luck on the 7 miler! You'll do fantastic, I'm sure.
So I got up at 5:45 this morning to do P90X yoga. Nobody told me it was an hour and a half long. Nobody told me it was gonna be crazy awesome and hard. I made it through the vinyasa moves (42 minutes in), and my leg muscles were spasming (sp?) like crazy... so I figured meh, I don't have time to finish before work anyway, so I'll stop here and do the rest when I get home. And that's exactly what I plan to do. I'm having one of those Fridays where I do not want to be at work. I'm thinking about trying to sneak out early and that way I can yoga and maybe run too. I'd really like to run today. (in secret, I'd really like to drink some beers tonight, and I'd really like to have the cals to do it. :blushing: )
Weighed in this morning at 209.6. :drinker: Adios 210s! Last night I tried on my size 14 banana republic jeans (which I haven't washed so they are totally stretched out currently) and, tah dah! They fit! Pretty tight on my legs (I have tree trunks and lots of bootie, what can I say?) but they are perfect on my waist. Woot! I put them in the laundry this morning, so I'm sure that they'll be way to snug after that, but it still felt good.0 -
My thoughts about eating out.
On Day 2 of MFP Journey we ate out. Ordered Chicken Piccata with asparagus and spinach. (Sounds healthy right). Well, the plate was swimming in butter. We know that we can research menus online but that's not always an option. But I have realized that you don't have to order right off the menu. Mix and match what you want. Baked potato with salsa and a grilled chicken breast. Or big garden salad and a 6oz steak. (my tummy's growling). If it's on the menu you can order it however you want it and the wait staff will figure it out.
Hailie. (girl! Shoot you got us all up in arms.) You just worry about you. You will be great.
I still had the headache this morning so I went to my chiropractor and it's finally easing off. C25k this afternoon.
Have a great weekend ladies. I weigh in tomorrow morning. Excited !0 -
I'm saying it now. I am passing on the weigh in this week. I've put the scale away and it won't come back out till the end of this "month" of p90x. I work harder not knowing where I am.0

Just found My Fitness Pal! Was using Lose It to track my stuff & it was helpful for a start, but just didn't have the community I was looking for! I started March 1st at 259 and am now 245 with cutting calories alone! Would love to join your group! Thanks!0

Yocum1219 Welcome to the group! :flowerforyou:
Anything goes, as you will soon find out.
I just finished Day 1 of Couch to 5k. It went pretty good. A little wierd because my girls were at the park and I was running round and round the playground. But it's finished and I didn't die or even puke. So . . . .(booty shake) WhooHoo!
Time to make supper. Shrimp stir-fry tonight. mmmmmm0 -
Just wanted to pop in & say hi to everyone. Just had a busy week.. though got a lot done & off my to do list. Next week is probably going to be another crazy week.. & if I need to do the interview Friday.. that will make is even crazier (with the flying across the country bit thrown in there:sad: )
My focus is on planning & learning & listening to my body. Am scheduling appointments with my Dr as well.. so will get a slew of tests done along with my physical & then go to the back Dr as well.
All else is well.. had a scary "I want to eat everything in sight" kind of day yesterday, but going to work out just lifted the blues, so am on track & working at eating my work out calorie's back & see how my body responds.
All in all.. I am focused & working.. one day at a time.. and it is a LOT of work, but well worth it.
I am sorry for not being here much or playing catchup.. hope everyone is doing well & I am sending good & happy vibes everyone's way:flowerforyou:
Weigh in for me in Mon... Will touch base over the weekend.
:drinker: Suzie0 -
For me today: I had to estimate cals eaten but think I did an okay job of it. I am already at 3100 cals burned today and its not even midnight. I should have a 1000ish deficit and I ate over 2000 cals. That blows. My. Mind.
I ate fried sweet potato fries at lunch...seriously. What is the point of those? I should have just got regular ones. Fried food is fried food. Hailie you can TOTALLY call me out on this one!
I also did over 12k steps...pretty cool. I finished c25k w1d2 today. Yeay. I will go Sunday and do d3. I also went to the councilor. It was good. It was some pretty random conversation because once I opened my mouth and started I could stop and I just went where my mind took me. It was pretty therapeutic, and then running afterwards topped it off. A good way to end the long week.
Kendal - I don't blame you for not stepping on the scale..I think its awesome that you are waiting for a monthish before you do it again!!
Yocum - welcome!!! Jump right in!
Noelle - I completed week 1 day 2 tonight. I am NOT looking ahead to see whats coming, just hitting start on my iphone app and running when it tells me! Good job!
Suzie - good job listening to your body. That sucks about your flight but I hope you get the job!!! What industry do you work in?
Hailie - I sure hope we didn't scare you off girly!! We are here to help you and support you.
Kerry - woooohoo on the loss!
Amy - wow on the sprinting and running recovery! I doubt I will ever like running but it just seems to be the bes way to get into shape and get your body moving n the right direction you know? Maybe once the weather turns I will hit the street and see if it is more enjoyable that way.
I think I will step on the scale the next couple of mornings and see where I am at. I'm super anxious to see if eating more and working out is going to be what i need to be doing or what.0 -
Good morning all, can't believe I missed the start of the challenge. My son has been poorly with flu and went into hospital so ive been super busy/panicing mammy mode. Food week has been ok all things considered, one high fat and cal day bit still managed to lose 7lbs, this is only my second week though and I tend to drop more before it settles. I'm still refusing to cut fatvoff lamb racks, oh its a vice but I did get a huge George foreman grill off the bf. I hope everyone is well and having losses. I think I'll join challenge despite being a week late...here goes;
*Drink more water
*Keep walking and extend my distance and speed
*Add a new form of working out like a dvd or swimming
*I would love to lose 24lbs and get into the 100s (an ambitious goal for me so to come close I'll have to work out)
I'll give the posts a good read later, x x0 -
Hey Hailie, just a quick note to you. I'm exactly the same with the whole treat thing and what people posted was enligtening for me. So while the baby was in bed this morning I made a ticker at home with funny and serious quotes about food and motivation, pictures of healthy food and workouts all on coloured card. I used 3 different colours to represent my three goals (i. just devided my final goal weight by 3) and put a big gold star for the half way mark. It was fun to do and I've displayed it at home. I'm using an old button on some blue tack to move ticker down. Theeeeen I for each of my goals I set a treat like a facial, or bath bomb and face mask, something a little more luxurious than i normally get. For my final goal I'm gonna get a makeover with a new outfit, get my nails an hair done etc. I'm saving the money from not buying junk food. Its a bit of fun that will work for me and I already got to move the ticker 17lbs cos I made it from my start weight which was a kick. Anyway I hope you're staying positive, I'm sure family were trying to help deep down and tomorrow is always another day x x0

bump for tomorrow0

Friday stats: 2985 calories burned/ 1680 calories eaten/ 1305 deficit - my deficit was too big but I felt full all day and I see no point in eating when I am not hungry.
Ronnie: I love your idea of doing a ticker with your goals! That's so cool! Good job with your weight loss this week!
Lacey: I'm glad the counselor thing went well and Way to Go on running! Awesome!!
Suzie: I hope everything works out with your doctor.
Noelle: Way to go with starting C25K!
Yocum: Way to go on your weight loss so far and welcome to the group! Just jump on in and start posting!
Kendal: I applaud you for hiding your scale and for doing P90X!!
Kerry: YAY for the 14 jeans!!! Awesome!! BTW, you got the hard part of the YogaX DVD done. After the moving poses is a bunch of balance stuff and some abs. I like the second part of the DVD a lot better than the first part but an hour and a half of yoga is rough!
Today is looking like a mountain biking kind of day! The sun is shining and it's already 50 degrees. Have a great Saturday ladies!0 -
Just a quick post to let you know I'm alive. Thurs 2632 consumed and 2595 burned with 50 min low impact aerobics and 10 min stretches... Friday 2985 consumed and 3420 burned with an 8 mile run at 15 min pace outside in glorious 45 degree sunny weather!!! Check-in for the week 189.75 (down 1/4 pound!!!) that makes 3 weeks in a row of losing for me.... TWIRLS..... I will respond to everyone later today.
Only 15 days until my race... That weekend will be Grouponized... Stopping at Frankenmuth Brewery on the way there and the way back with our Groupons. Have massage scheduled for Fri afternoon and mani/pedi for Sat with Groupons... The race is Sunday. I'm a bit too excited.
On the home front DH and I are communicating well this week. We actually turned the TV off and played Trivia last night.
Have a great Saturday. I'm hoping to do some Yoga and Zumba plus walk mom's dog for exercise. Tonight is movie night with the Bro coming over.0 -
I weighed in today at 302. I have worked out 6 days in the last week. So it has been a good week. For some reason I am retaining water today. My hands are so swollen I can't get my rings on. I am not sure what that is about. It's not my TOM, so I am guessing my sodium intake yesterday was high.
Also, I am not losing inches (could be the water retention), but I am on day 12 of 30 Day Shred, I guess I am adding muscle? Any thoughts?
I am only 3 lbs away from my first goal of 299lbs. And I still have 23 days to get there! I am hoping I am a good bit under my goal by then.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.0 -
Final numbers yesterday: 3419 burned/2300 eaten/1119 deficit. I think I ate more around 2500-2600 but I logged everything generously. Either way I've got a good deficit going. I hope that in the next couple of days I show a loss. I weighed in at 208.4 today, which is the same as last week....ugh. I still might need to eat more, but am not going to start packing it in until I know I'm not losing weight again. Hopefully that isn't the case!!
I will check in later today with everyone.0 -

That's a cute idea!!! I'm considering doing one now! 0 -
Thanks for the welcome! My calorie cutting has been working all on its own so far! Keeping it under 1800 since March 1st! I've only gone over 2ce! I just bought myself a scale for the first time in my life! I normally only weigh on Mondays at work...but I had to play with it when I got it on Friday...I was excited to see 3lbs! I'd already lost 14 when I started MFP! My initial goal is to get down to 200...which is even beyond pre-kid weight! Thanks so much in advance for all of your support!
Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods0 -
Check-in for Sat - 2537 burned and 2436 consumed. Exercise 40 min Yoga, 1 mile dog walk and 20 min Kettlebell workout.
I made wonderful roasted chickpeas yesterday. Add 2 Tbs olive oil, salt and pepper to taste to 2 cups chickpeas and bake at 400 for 15-20 min until crisp. Nice snack - DH quote "better than fries"...0 -
I've already eaten 600 cal this morning - on purpose!!! I have my 9 to 10 mile run in 2 hours. I needed to fuel up - salmon patty, chick peas and guacamole... YUMMY... 2 to 3 inches of snow are expected today - BOO, HISS!!!
It hasn't started yet.
Now I finally have time to respond to everyone this week (*wink*)
Yocum - welcome to our group:flowerforyou: You can get to onederland and will feel great along the way. Feel free to make your ticker say 17 pounds lost. I'd include your pre-MFP loss and be proud of it. Great job on your loss so far.
Eunice - Congrats on getting to onderland:flowerforyou: Keep up the great work.
Lacey - you're a calorie burning machine!!! Your numbers are wonderful. That scale should start moving soon. I agree that you probably weren't eating enough before.
Angela - nice job on getting 6 workouts in. If you changed your workout this week, you could be having water retention in the muscles as they are healing (are your muscles sore?) I'm not sure about your question - are you losing weight but not shrinking? I think you'll make your goal... Now that I've gone back more posts, I think I have the answer to your question - you are losing weight but not inches. How many spots are you measuring and are you doing it yourself or is someone helping. You may not be getting it back in the exact spot each time or shrinking in areas that you are not measuring. It is very hard to measure yourself. I take notes such as 7 inches above the top of the knee cap for the thigh measurement. Look at the big picture - are your clothes fitting better? Do you feel better? In time the weight and measurements will both go down.
Amy - How was the biking? I can't wait to get mine out this summer. Vegan times should have been Vegetarian Times - sorry it's the same one...
WIChelle - hope you met your goals this week...
Amber - we miss you.. Thanks for popping in but don't forget to let us know how you're doing!!!
Ronnie - your ticker poster sounds fabulous!!! Hope your son is feeling better...
Kerry - 14s - SWEET!!!! I'm impressed that you're doing P90X. I gave up after a month since I missed running too much. P90X is a huge time constraint but it works - how could it not work if you're exercising 60 to 90 min a day... I just purchased a Yoga DVD with 20 min workouts that's much easier than that 90 min one.
Andrea - hope you're recovering from your vacation.
Hallie - as to treats. I started out with food treats too. I still eat a serving of Kettle Chips (salty not sweet foods are my weakness) at times because I crave them. The more weight I lost, the more I realized non food rewards were better. My biggest motivation was buying a leather jacket that didn't fit. I hung it in my closet and drooled every time I got dressed. I was so happy the day it finally fit. Due to the warmer weather this week, I got to wear it and received tons of compliments. I keep joking with myself that I need to buy a "little black dress" and hang it up to kick my tush into losing more weight. Sorry about the trouble with your grandparents not understanding. I try to tell people that I can eat anything but watch portion size.
Lacey - I love sweet potato fries made in the oven. You're right that there's no dif between reg and sweet potato fries if cooked in oil. Nice job with C25K. I'm glad the counseling session went well. You're book link inspired me to pull out an old Vegetarian Cook book with info. I must have spent an hour reviewing it yesterday.
Suzie - good luck with the interview. Hope you're feeling better soon.
Noelle - great job with starting C25K. If I finished the program, anyone can!!! keep us posted on your progress. Another eating out option is to share a meal. It makes the calories much more reasonable. We often do that and order an extra side salad.
Kendal - I hope your blahs are better. Hopefully you can get out in some sunshine to get a sun pick me up. I'd suspect some depression from breaking up with Tyler and the crappy/snow weather you've been having. I have soooooo have Cabin Fever here. Did you get back to the P90X this week?
Annette - hope you're staying on track. I think your goals look great.
Kristina - how'd the run go? Hope you're having fun in the mountains of Pittsburgh. I spent 5 weeks there on a school clinical 20 years ago. I'm sure it's changed. What I remember most was the hills and getting lost. We could see the movie theater and couldn't get there - you just can't go around the block since the hills get in the way... I'm sending Emma some good thoughts and hope she's doing well without you.
sarah - awesome job cleaning out the closet!!! You are doing so well. Good luck on the "Hard" program - does it start today?
Sorry if I missed anyone... I tried to go through all the posts but something may have slipped through. I enjoy having all of you to keep me accountable, to make me laugh and to pick me up when I'm down - Thank You all for being my super special friends!!! I now have an hour to go until I start my run. I'm doing 6 alone then friends are joining me for 3 to 4 more. My whole goal is not to puke this week - that's why I ate extra early this week... Have a great Sunday!!!0 -
Hey all! Just going to check in quickly with my weight: 226.8 lbs as of 30 minutes ago, for a weekly loss of 2.2 lbs. I'll catch up on everyone this afternoon as I have to go in to work for a bit first.0

My bff let me buy her Nike+ Sensor and 3 cases off her for only $15 so I've synced that up with my ipod and am going to give lexi a good walk/jog today. The sun is shining and I SOOOOO needed this. You may be right Victoria- maybe this funk is the realization of breaking up with Taylor and being lonely all over again. I had a date last weekend and I thought it went well but I never heard from the guy again. :frown: A friend had a kid with his girlfriend about 3 weeks ago and we went last night to meet the baby. He's the most content little thing in the world. I've always wanted to have kids and its just another reminder that I'm alone.
My bff from high school's grandmother passed away Friday and the viewing is tonight. BFF and I are going.0 -
So anyone interested in an Xbox Kinect?? I won it at my work Christmas party and I bought one game, played it once and there it sits. Brand new. Gonna get rid of it. We have a Wii too but I think we will keep it.
I'm down to 207.2 this morning. Can't wait to see where I am at tomorrow, and hope to hell that I've finally got it figured out!
Kendall - I know this is cliche and people probably tell you this all the time...I know from experience what its like to have always wanted to have kids, as many people do. I grew up thinking I'd be married at 18 and four kids by 22. I am SO freaking thankful that didn't happen, that I didn't have G until I was 29. You are still young and have a ton, a TON, of time to have children. My bff and ohter close friend are both due within a month of each other and will be 34 when they give birth.
Dating kind of blows, but I did enjoy the online thing. That is how Jeff and I met...match.com!
Good for you for getting out and walking/running. You will feel so much better if you do it.
Victoria - wow thats a long run this morning, can't blame you for eating that much. My breakfasts are always around 400-500 so to me that doesn't seem like all that much..gotta fuel your body! I've made roasted chick peas before and they are good.
Sara - yeay on the weight loss!!
Yocum - you can do it, keep with us girl!0 -
Lacey: What do you want for your Xbox Kinect? Trav keeps ALMOST buying one and I'd be more than happy to take it off your hands. Good job on getting the scale to move - u rock!
Kendal: Dood! I wish I had waited longer before having my son. (I was 24) I'm glad I have him and all that but it would have been nice to spend a bit more time being kid-free before being tied to an ever-present shadow. (I know I sound like a terrible mom right there but I'm being honest). I agree with Lacey - dating sucks. I was never good at dating. I met my husband at work. BTW - you are young and strong and beautiful and I am 100% sure that you will not be alone forever.
Sarah: Great loss this week!
Victoria: Holy cow, I hope that run was good! I'm pretty sure I'd die. You rock! My bike ride was AWESOME - thanks for asking. We rode around the nature park near our house for an hour and a half. Up and down hills, past creeks and ravines, through the woods - it was freaking awesome. I'm soo grateful that The Hubbs bought me a new wheel and then figured out all the steps to actually get it on the bike (it was the back wheel with all the gear stuff and chain stuff on it). He's my hero!
Today was a rest day (which I really need as I am sooo sore!). I ate pretty good - mostly. I ended up making some blueberry vanilla cream turnovers that were pretty calorific but looked to good NOT to make. (I've had a blueberry jones going for about 2 weeks now) I'm making The Hubbs take the leftovers to work to get them out of the house. Anyway, the day got past me so I'll check in with ya'll tomorrow.0 -
Just an FYI.. I will not be weighing in this week as my TOM started today... & is bound to through me off.
Lacey - You are doing amazingly well... with your food, workout & calorie defeicit.. Great Job!!!!! Hang in there.. the weight has to shift sooner or later.
I work in the software industry in silicon valley... product management/marketing is the work I do.. but am in the interview process (seems like an extended one) with one of the big five consulting companies, though it might mean travel every week.

Yes, I use the Zumba set DVDs... http://www.amazon.com/Zumba-Fitness-Total-Transformation-System/dp/B002HZ4XMC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1301864647&sr=8-1 Cost now about $65 on Amazon or $85 from the zumba.com site. I really like the videos since I cant get to any classes... Good luck and wiggle that Booty0 -
Amy I will sell the Xbox kinect whole thing with a Sonic game that's like air skateboarding for $275. I can even ship it from wOrk for a better freight rate since we ship to germany all the time.
Well I did garden work today and threw my effing lower back out. It's hurting like a mother. I hope it's better by tomorrow so I can run. Poop.0
