    No loss but no gain. For me that is a great triumph from my usual vacations.

    Wow, how did you do that?? That is great, I always gain on vacation. What was your strategy?

    Yes we will do this challenge in July. I will post a link later next week.

    I am not sure how I did not gain on vacation. I ate well and drank even better. I did make sure to get some walking done. I think maybe it has caught up with me since I got home. Today the scale was up 2 so maybe I did gain on vacation. Or maybe its not working out for 2 days because my lower back is so sore. Going to call and make an appointment for a massage this weekend.

    My son has a soccer tourney most the day Sat (we are signed up for a GO COMMANDO run but our wave runs at the same time as my sons game and the drive to parking is at least an hour) and getting company Sunday for a few days.

    Have a great Friday!

    WOW everyone is doing fabulous with their weighins! KUDOS to you all! :bigsmile:

    I started my Bix 7 training last night (7 mile race on July 30th) I thought I was going to only do about 4 miles, but I just kept going! I did 5.92 miles in 1hr 10min & 54sec! I didn't even push myself at all. I was pretty psyched with myself! The only thing I was really worried about was MOVING today. However I got home last night - stretched out good, took a shower & relaxed. Then I took an Ibuprofen before bed & actually slept like a baby! That normally doesn't happen for me! So this morning I got up & I was moving just fine, so I let Jillian kick my booty to start my day. :bigsmile:

    I've done this 7 mile race several times before (normally walking) and then I'm laid up for 2 days afterwards in pain....not this time! I'm stoked that I feel so great! :bigsmile:

    Way to go KELLY! I am so proud of you.
    I am presently in Washington DC doing a workshop. Actually I've been here all week and it is about to come to an end. I fly out to utah in a few hours and then on up to Idaho to see my parents for a month.
    I am so ready for my summer vacation to really begin.
    I ran almost every day here before the work shops and enjoyed the scenery of the green trails. LOVELY difference from Cairo's brown and dirty streets.

    I love summer. The kids are on my computer so much that this is the first time I can actually sit and type. Hopefully later today I can catch up with everyone's post. I can't do it right now because the daycare kids will start arriving soon.

    Final weigh-in tomorrow. How is everyone doing? I am a chronic daily weigher. On Monday I was up at 185 and was so discouraged because this was a gain of 1 pound and this morning I was back to 182. Go figure.

    I finally got brave and tried Greek Yogurt. I am a now a fan, but not sure if my memory is bad but to me it tastes like yogurt used to taste back in the late 70's when I first tried yogurt. Thick and tart but very tasty. I guess over the years they have been adding more and more sugar.

    This has been a great day for working out. I am the 100 mile challenge and I challenged myself to walk/run 100 miles and bike 100 miles. I was very short on the walking at the start of this week but it is only Wednesday and I have walked or ran 21 miles this week. Today I have gone 8.2 miles on my feet and biked another 15. I have burned over 2000 calories.

    As you can see by my ticker I made the challenge for biking and need a few miles tomorrow to get it for walking.

    Hope everyone has had a great month and look forward to next month and tomorrow's final weigh-in.

    Happy Wednesday.

    so wish me luck im going on a date with my 3 year old and my hubby to the movies we are going to see cars 2! im going all out too having a drink and lots of popcorn with salt and tons of butter and maybe even a treat. also we are going out to dinner so im having enchiladas with sauce and tons of cheeese at los amigos. heck iv already gained 4 pounds this month so far right back up to 154 but oh well it will be a good ending to the month and a good starting point for next month so i can hopefully get myself under control before i try to get pregnant.

    Fantastic job Terri! I need to get myself motivated with walking/jogging, I think I may set a challenge for myelf for July :)

    What brand of greek yogurt do you like and do you eat it straight or mixed? I tried one before and it was horrible.. I think I may try a different brand as it's been MONTHS since I've had it..



    I, too, weigh daily, and I hate that I do. I love and hate seeing the weight change day to day..
    My starting weight on June 1st was 197.8 then June 7th: 199.8 , June 17th: 197.8 , June 21st: 196.8, so at this point I don't think I'll hit 192.8, but I'd be glad to be under 196.8... *sigh* my lowest mfp weight was 193.2 back in April and I have been up ever since. I'm hoping my strength training will pay off one of these days. Although, Kelly and I have been doing 30 day shred challenge to do 30days straight, today was day 17. I'm hoping to see at least a change in my measurements if not the scale..

    Last day everyone, let's finish strong!! See ya in the morning with my final weight :)
