There seems to be a ticker problem - it will be back!!

I'm on the mend - managed strength training twice this week, and Pilates. AND I'm moving my *kitten* more. Wednesday and Thursday saw me doing 7 miles each day which pleased me no end!!

@2marsh - that sounds like a good plan. As my old Dad used to say 'a change is as good as a rest'. Although maintenance does bring its own challenges. LOL
@bbinoa - frozen yoghurt is yum. I'm starting to make frozen yoghurt lollies for my grandmunchkins - all the creaminess, few of the calories and protein to boot. I wonder if 'shivering'is in the database and what the 'burn' (LOL) might be?
@MelissaPhippsFeagins - that sounds like a D**n uncomfortable work environment.
@jenthibert - sounds like you had a lovely and special meal - with wine too, tasty. Outstanding. Another long walk too - always a recipe for a good day.
@Rebamae - a bit of a binge that was controlled before it got out of hand sounds like a definite NSV to me. Well done.


Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Edited to try and update ticket - gave up and removed it!!

Still at 19/25... Not sure today was red but not sure it was green either so we'll go with red. Tough Mountain Challenge tomorrow morning at a local ski resort. 4 mile obstacle course with my husband, kids, my dad and some friends. Not going for time, just the adventure!

I am so excited, I have to share... I just hit one of my goals! It was to see a certain number on the scale I haven't seen in almost 5 years. Alot has happened since then ... a divorce, and I lost my mom to ALS. Im now very happily remarried and things are in a much better place which I think is why the weight is finally coming off. Getting back to being 'me' again feels wonderful!

Have a great Saturday everyone!!!!!!

Tough Mountain Challenge was awesome! So much easier than last year when I was 30+ pounds heavier and in terrible shape. Way more fun too! I'll try to post pictures at some point soon. We didn't go for time but is like to at some point. But here's the course if you'd like to peek.

Just a light stroll today.

@bbinoa I'm so happy for you. Congratulations on reaching your goal!!! That's awesome. I'm scheduled to get my 6 mile run/walk in tomorrow.
@jenthibert Congratulations on completing that Challenge!! I hope you had a lot of fun. I did check out the site, and it looks just as scary as my upcoming Warrior Dash. Can't wait to give you a full report next Sunday.

Spent 12 hours at an amusement park yesterday. Lots of fun, lots of exercise. Today, though, I'm burned, blistered, and sore all over. Gonna make that 6-miler I have planned for today a little rough...

@bbinoa @Laughter_Girl Looks like our training schedules are lining up! Although if I'm still feeling too beat up later, I might keep it short and do 6 on Tuesday instead...
@bbinoa So much joy. Big congrats!
@MelissaPhippsFeagins Should be interested to hear what you think of LiveFit over the course of it. I've been shopping around for a new training program for the fall.

green today! That makes me a streaker! 10 days straight! Woot!!
Total 24/27

Funny how 6 miles was the magic number for so many of us this weekend. I remembered thinking as I was finishing up how in a few weeks I'll look back on this and be all "wow, 6 miles was nothing!"
@2marsh sounds like a fun day, in spite of the burns and blisters!
@jenthibert the tough mountain sounds awesome. You need to post pics when you get them!
@MelissaPhippsFeagins Def keep us updated on that training program. Does it take you a long time? I looked at one of hers and it seemed like a lot of gym time.

Green: Yes
Goal: 22/27
Streak: 9/10

Did my run/walk today, and I'm happy to say that I survived it. Ha, ha, ha.

@jenthibert I was feeling motivated when I decided to do that Warrior Dash. Hopefully, I won't regret that decision. Ha!
@2marsh Glad you had fun at the amusement park. That's always a great way to burn some calories. If you weren't able to do the run today, I would completely understand. I'm sure you'll get it in before the week is out.
@bbinoa Congrats on being a streaker!!! I hope you're right about those 6 miles by the way. I did 6.5 today, and it wasn't too bad. Of course my legs are feeling it now though.
