Good Morning Ladies,

Sorry about missing that weigh in yesterday. I've updated & moved my name. This week was a 0.4 gain. I've been slowly & steadily climbing. It's so hard to stay on track when overwelmed and I haven't had time to think about this enough yet to learn from it. I finished my last final last night & got an A in my anatomy & physiology which I was a little worried about. We have snow this morning and my exercise class was cancelled, so I will go and shovel to start off my exercise for today.

Today:
1: oatmeal, banana, & coffee w/creamer
2: grapes
3: turkey & green beans & salad
4: skim milk & homemade cookie
5: chili & roasted squash
6: ww frozen dessert or yogert

Cathy, Glad the quake was a small one, but what a surprise.
Shanell, Good job on losing 1 pound
Katy, You really rock, doing so well in your classes & losing 2 pounds What's the secret??? How wonderful to be invited on the research trip, where will you be going and what will you be doing?
Kristen, Yeah, you're doing great. Losing a pound during this season, especially when you have so little left to lose is really a big accomplishment.
Amylou, Good job on the A and being able to do it when you thought you couldn't. I woke up sneezing and my nose was running like a faucet yesterday. I bought some cold-eze and took 1 claritin. I sucked on the cold-eze every 2-4 hours like directed and woke up this morning feeling great. No runny nose or sneezing. If you get that cold-eze right away I swear it works.
Tamara, Good job on your lose.
Pedal, Glad your starting to feel like yourself again.
Lauryn, Loing 2 pounds while on vacation is unbelievable. How did you manage?

I will try to be better about sticking with my healthy lifestyle this week. There's still time to turn things around for next weigh in right?

Have a good day ladies:flowerforyou:

Lauryn, Loing 2 pounds while on vacation is unbelievable. How did you manage?

Deb, honestly, I think a part of it was being around my family. I learned my horrible eating habits and lack of exercise from them. Watching them mindlessly eat, take elevators 3 flights instead of stairs, and generally lounge was EYE OPENING. I saw how I use to be, and why I use to be over 200 lbs. I think seeing them eating really made me curb my eating, and seeing them lounge made me WANT to workout! It didn't hurt that the fitness center there had treadmills and ellipticals with built in tvs, and a heated swimming pool to enjoy.

However, I have been losing and gaining back those same 2lbs for a month now. So it may have just been a fluke! :laugh:

tried that chicken with the veleeta. yummy good. very cheesey. was easy to make. we serverd it over rice.
did 30 mins on eliptacal this morning. first time i have done that. what a good workout. i was looking for a different cardio instead of treadmill. will do that again on friday. tomorrow is my c25k workout.
well off to get the night time chores done.
back later..

Connie, what is Bosu??? (I could google it but I'm lazy.... or at work and 'busy'. Take your pick )



I have a holiday luncheon tomorrow so I won't get to workout or weigh in, so I'm weighing in today. Another one bites the dust. 159. I am happy with this. Maybe my focus is back. :bigsmile: I'm feeling happier. Making progress in my mind, resolutions in my life, just focusing in general. I know I'm babbling like a big vague weirdo, but this is how I roll.

Bosu looks like half a ball. When you do exercises with it you are using alot of muscles especially your core ones because you need them all to keep your balance. I really like doing it and would love to have one here at the house but they cost about $100. I cant afford that right now but maybe in a couple of months. They do have a website that you could look at if you wanted to. I actually find that crunches on a Bosu is easier than doing them on the floor and you really do feel it in your tummy later one also.
