SIXERS Melting Away for Summer-Week 6 (Final week)

Sorry I've been MIA, been enjoying the weather and the pool :glasses:
and work has been crazy :grumble:

Hi All! I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend...! I FINALLY got under 170 again.... While I didn't hit my goal (and probably will not by the end of the week) getting back into the 160's is a big step forward for me... yesturday was the first day in a long time that I felt good about what I ate, exercise... everything...

I think the key is WATER... I got the BEST new thing EVER!!! It carbonates water...! So my tap water turns soda water in 30 seconds... YUM! (I hate drinking water... it was a struggle to drink even a glass, let alone the 8-10 I really need...) Now I am drinking a minimum of 2 liters per day :drinker: YEAY!

Chipper. Congrats on the 10 lbs lost!!!!

I don't have a scale right now, but I'm pretty sure I gained some. I am refocusing for the month of JUNE and will report my weight when I can.

Good news= I AM GETTING MY SPIN BIKE DELIVERED TO MY HOUSE TODAY!!!!!!!! YAY!

Hi ladies. I'm here. Gonna weigh in tomorrow heck or high water. Not looking forward to it. Of course, all the weight i lost over the winter is creeping back on, just in time for bathing suit season. My daughter's fifth grade graduation party is June 18 and it's a pool party, so I really need to get my butt (literally in gear for the next 17 days). Incorporating the aid of my hubby and hoping he can help me. My daughter laughed at me yesterday because I biked to the gym. She said "You exercised to exercise?" Yup. In addition tot he exercise, I also saved money, not just on gas ($70 to just fill up my van anymore) but also I can't buy anything at stores or stop at Starbucks because I can't carry it home. Win/win. So this next challenge will definitely help

Great job on all the weight loss. Cathy, amazing! You are really doing it!

:morning ladies.

I snacked like CRAZY last night, but I logged everything this morning... turned out to be about 1750 calories, about 400 over my daily goal... I didn't get my evening run in as we had tornado watches / warnings in the area until 11 pm. I did manage to sneak in a 2 mile walk during lunch. Bottom line, I was accountable, and it wasn't all that bad...

So last night was CRAZY scary... In MA we get bad thunder storms etc in the spring and summer but there are rarely tornados... the western part of the state got hit hard... the storms got much weaker by the time they reached the ocean / us so that was good... but the wind, rain, hail, and lighting was enough for me... :noway:

Chipper. The gym sounds good to me - but that is probably just because I miss the gym :sad: we don't have memberships anymore

Amy. I tried WW for about a month... it isn't for me but my BF's sister and mom are doing it right now and they are doing soooo amazing.... down 15 - 20 lbs each! You can do it!!!!

Lula. Way to Go! Exercise to exercise - I love it! :flowerforyou: I am thinking of riding my bike to work... only trouble is that the BF doesn't think it is safe (I would have to ride through some bad areas...) but I think I will give it a try over the weekend with him and map out a good route! I would LOVEEE to save on gas

Reyna. Great job with the exercise!!!!!

Tiff. YEAY spin bike! How do you keep up the motivation to spin at home? I would love to, but I don't think I would be motivated to keep such a high level of energy at home :ohwell: Congrats on your new house! Homes are fun... and as I found out a TONNN of work :bigsmile: It is sooo worth it though!

hey all! Sorry it's been awhile, I normally check in at work, but we have been slammed.... and the boss frowns on me telling customers to wait while I check in with you guys (who knows why )

But the guys are going on a poker run on Saturday, and I am going!! I am very excited! A poker run is basically a bikers charity event, where you have a "buy in" to ride your bike, and then they ride around to different places around town and you get a card for your "hand" and then at the end of the run you get different prizes for the best hand, and there will be door prizes and stuff. I have actually never been on a motorcycle before (weird I know for someone who works in a bike shop)--so i am a mix of nerves and excitement. It should be fun though!

Stacey- we used to do a poker run. We had an old Toyota Landcruiser and went camping in the dunes so we could play in the sand. There was a big rally for Jeeps and Landcruisers every year. It included a poker run. Have fun!
