Replies

I don't think I have a favorite song altho any power song by a power woman gets me going like Katy Perry Roar and Alicia Keys Girl on Fire. Lately Ive been working out to anything by Die Antwoord.

Total LBS lost this week: 2.3 lbs
Total LBS lost this month:
Weekly Goals: 15,000 + steps a day, continue with intermittent fasting
Struggles:
- (From last week) Wedding shower followed by a bachlorette party on Saturday, heading to the farm to visit family on Sunday and then in the city next Monday (Ahhh! 3 day's in a row of not having full control of my food.)
- This certainly turned into a gain! Hopefully it's mostly water weight and will be gone soon or there will be no progress to show next week.
- Wanting to not eat to make up for the weekend. (Not a healthy way to make up for it, I know.)
- Feeling very foggy today, was yesterday too. I sure hope that goes away soon.
Successes: Started at 215, have broken through 1 plateau without giving up and didn't scream at the scale this morning for going up.
Have a great week everyone.5 -

Don't let it get to you. Our weight fluctuates daily it's nothing you are doing wrong. There is no way you ate so much to gain 2 lbs in 1 day. You are most likely retaining water.1 -
Favorite workout song -
Since I'm often working out on the water and don't have a waterproof music player yet, I typically will sing to myself - usually church hymns or pop Christian songs. Whatever tends to come to my mind is what gets sung. "Our God is an awesome God" is one that often comes to mind, especially when I get the gift of seeing some dolphins during my paddle.
If I'm working out on my Gazelle, I'm typically watching TV, so there isn't any music playing.2 -

Yep I had the same issue this morning though for me it was .6 pounds (and I ate well within my goals yesterday and did workout). I'm convinced I'm retaining water because I didn't get my 8 hours of sleep last night (got like 3 hours, and then got woken up by the storm for a couple hours, and then go maybe 3.5 more hours). I think I need a nap today.1 -
My favourite workout song - birds singing as I am hiking in the mountains

My favorite workout song?
I don't really have one, but I have favorite genres. I'll always love alternative rock, and I also like liquid drum and bass (mainly Pendulum) for when I'm on the elliptical.

I love listening to Pitbulls XM station. The dance/Mexican beats get me going!3

Happy Hump Day!
We are halfway through our workweek! How are you doing so far this week? I hope you aren't struggling too much and that you having lots of wins even if its not on the scale. Don't forget to celebrate NSV's as well they are as or even MORE important as our numbers on the scale!!
Challenge Question for today...
Do you workout with a workout buddy or do you prefer to be on your own?2 -
My workout buddy (buddies) are my kids lol. I dont exactly have the choice. When I workout at home the baby sits and watches me while he plays. Or he is with me in his stroller while I walk. Sometimes if my older kids are home from school they will join my workout while they are here or go out for walks with me as well while we play I spy or the "Animal guessing game. Every once in awhile a friend will join me but its not often.3
-
My favourite workout song?
This really changes depending on my mood. Lately I've been listening to Postmodern Jukebox, but the week before that it was The Great Comet and the week before that it was uptempo classical. Really it's more about the tempo of the music, especially if I'm on the treadmill. Something faster with a good beat (for awhile it was Queen and Uptown Funk).2 -
Do you workout with a workout buddy or do you prefer to be on your own?
I much prefer to be on my own. I get really self-concious about exercise, to the point that if someone else is in the gym, I'll just go back when it's empty again. The only exercise I like doing around people is dancing.3 -

Weekly Goals: To begin exercising daily and start eating cleaner
Struggles: Food around the house. Kids and husband eat what they want. I am trying to clean up everyone's act but don't want to make my kids obsessive about food either
Successes: I am here and I started!3 -
Do I have a workout buddy?
Sometimes I do! My boyfriend will come with me to the gym on his days off most of the time. We start off doing weight training together, and then he usually goes off to run and I take an elliptical, and we meet back up after an hour. It's really hard for me to do cardio with a buddy, I can't seem to focus!2 -

Im having a really hard time hitting 10000 too. Then I see some people hitting 12 500... How do they find the time lol??
Great job on the weight loss too!3 -
My workout buddies are my kids as well lol. I'm always with my kids which is awesome, but makes it hard to get a good workout in. They are young and don't want to just watch me workout for 45 minutes lol. I also take my youngest for walks in the strollers on the days where it's nice outside. Fun for both of us!3

Great job on the weight loss too!
Thanks! I try to get up from my desk job every hour and at least walk somewhere around the building. It also helps that the employee parking lot is a half mile away from the employee entrance to where I work, so I get steps in there too.3 -
Do you workout with a workout buddy or do you prefer to be on your own?
I prefer having a workout buddy for non instructed workouts, we keep each other motivated. For classes it doesn't matter, a great instructor will keep everyone in gear.2 -
I liked to be by myself although a work out buddy would prob motivate me!!2
-
Sometimes my Mom will walk with me, and sometimes my teenaged daughter will. But, not all the time. I like it either way, alone or with a buddy.3

went to the gym last night and was able to weigh......down to 204.4 and I'm down to a size 12 in pants
10 facts:
1. I am not THAT Jennifer Lawrence - but would love to meet her.
2. I've lived in Texas, Florida, and Georgia - and will never move from Savannah, GA
3. I have the most awesome/understanding/loving boyfriend
4. I love to crochet
5. I am absolutely obsessed with the tv series Outlander - and yes, I've read all the books
6. My dream vacation is to the highlands of Scotland
7. My favorite colors are pink and purple or combination of pink and chocolate brown
8. I have 2 dogs and 5 cats - currently
9. I am the AP/AR/Payroll/Billing specialist at my company
10. I am proud of the fact I was finally able to get out of an abusive relationship and start focusing on myself3 -
Workout buddies:
I prefer to and typically workout alone, although I do know that if I'm with someone, I tend to workout harder.
I typically get to paddle once or twice on my own, and then once a week, I paddle with a friend, and she always pushes me, though I don't think she realizes it.
When I workout at home, and have any floor exercises, the cats all gather to watch and at least one will try to join in by walking between my legs or my arms if I'm on all four...makes it extra interesting.
Sadly, there is no 'with cat' option for most exercises even though I'm sure it burns more calories. Been trying to get them to climb on my back for added weight, but we've not mastered that move yet.
