    Hi everyone!

    My plan this week is:

    1) survive TOM (not only that, but survive the mercurial aspect of my frequently changing TOM's in the last 8 months - it is going to slowly drive me insane, but my in-laws, who are all doctors, insist it is related to my dieting/exercise/weight loss)
    2) Monday (Zumba+yoga+weight training)
    3) Tuesday (10 mins step/10 minutes boxing/20 minutes Zumba)
    4) Wednesday (2 - 3 mile walk)
    5) Thursday (Zumba+yoga+weight training)
    6) Friday (2-3 mile walk)
    7) Saturday (Zumba+yoga+weight training)
    8) Sunday (rest)

    I am working on eating more whole wheat and vegetables, and getting white breads out of my diet. Kinda hard because my husband wants to stay on white carbs. =p For now we buy two different loaves of bread every week. I'm still trying to talk him into at least trying whole wheat pasta.

    Argh! I'm so frustrated with clothing sizes! Here in Greece, I can't find anything but "skinny leg" jeans. I finally found some that weren't so "skinny leg", but still a bit. The problem? The size 48's (same as U.S. size 12) are too big at the waist and hips - and the size 46's (U.S. size 10) are waaaay too tight on my thighs (but perfect on my waist and hips) - I walk like a zombie because of the legs! Why do our bodies just never fit things right? I had to buy the bigger size for now with a tight belt. it is better than no jeans at all, I guess. =p

    Needless to say it's TOM so I did not lose any weight but I didn't gain any either so that's a plus.

    This weeks plan is to do some sort of exercise everyday and to drink water, water and more water. Consuming water is so hard for me but I am determined this week!

    Goals for this week......
    Yesterday, (monday) the whole family took a walk after breakfast for about 50 minutes and ended up at the park playing with my kidlets.
    Tuesday: RUN!!! I will run today at lunch. I'm kinda slow but hoping to make it to 2.5 miles.
    Wednesday: I'm hoping to check out the Zumba class at our rec center in my neighborhood. I've never done Zumba but it looks like fun. I'm kinda on the shy side but I"m hoping I will unabashedly shake my bum to the music.
    Thursday: RUN! Hopefully 2.75 miles.
    Friday: Walk for an hour at lunch.
    Saturday: RUN! Hoping for 3 miles.
    Sunday: rest day. (hopefully sleep in until 7 a.m.)

    Other goals include drinking 10 glasses of h20 everyday. Laying off the Hershey's mini candy bars a collegue keeps in her office. Keeping my sodium to around 1500 each day. Logging all my food. I'm good to log during the day, but when I get home from work, the last thing I do is log on, so dinner usu. doesn't get logged.

    I have the same plan each week.

    Mon - Thurs I wake up early and go workout for an hour at the gym before I get my toddler up then go to work. I do 15 minutes of cardio, 30 minutes of weights and then 15 more minutes of cardio. I talk Fri - Sun off from the gym, but try and do activities with my daughter and chasing a toddler around all day is quite a work out in itself sometimes! I've done with for two weeks straight and love it because it gives me some time to myself in the morning before everyone gets up to start the day.

    Hi Team Bon Temps!

    Just wanted to mention a couple things. First, next time you guys start a team thread, will you please put *CLOSED GROUP* in the title? I don't want you guys to be inundated with requests to join. You might even want to put in the very first post something about it being a closed group, and that if you would like to be put on the waiting list, to contact me. :wink:

    Next, I wanted to post an updated roster! I have added at least one more person since I last posted the roster. Be sure you have all of the members on your friends list! The newest additions are at the bottom of the list:

    I've had a really rough start to my week this week so for me at this point it's to get back on track... My plan is to start my typical everyday routine... and my chosen work out schedule. I gave myself 2 days off after dieting for 4 weeks straight with no cheating... With my son sick it was really hard for me to stay on task and on schedule.
    Strength training 2 out of every 3 days
    My cardio is working with my horses and am now taking on the task of training a friends gelding so I'll be spending at least a hour or more with hard training in the saddle at least one day if not two a week.
    On top of that I'll be getting on my gazelle for at least 15-20 min a night
    With that I am sticking to my normal foods but may be adding some carbs to a couple meals when I'm riding so I can keep my calories up on those days. I burn way too many not to make up at least some of them.

    Hope you all have a great week and hope we have great weigh ins next week
