:flowerforyou: Good Morning Friends!!! :flowerforyou:

We had a snow day yesterday, so my day was all off, but I maintained with my cals, drank all my water, did 45 minutes on the wii fit (mostly yoga), and then walked a mile with an incline, ran for a mile, and finished with another mile walk.

Today, I will be doing an hour of weights/abs.

:flowerforyou: I hope everyone has a fit and fabulous day!!! :flowerforyou:

    Mornin' Gutters!

    I shredded yesterday drank all my water was under on calories - more than I should have been and I gained .2 pounds - I really hate the scale!

    How often do you weigh - I think I am torturing myself weighing everyday but I'm obsessed with knowing where I am at.

    I wasn't going to exercise today - hip is sore again - but I think the Wii Fit is a great idea - less stressful and so much fun.

    Have a great Thursday!

    Hi Chrissy...

    :drinker: great job yesterday :drinker:

    I "officially" weigh in first thing Monday mornings...this is the weight I use to track my progress...BUT...I do also get on the scale every morning, just to see where things are at...AND I don't get discouraged or let it ruin my day if it is up a little. I fully understand the fluctuations, and focus on my weekly numbers. Hope that helps!

    Sorry, to hear about your hip again...take care, and yes, the fit would be a great idea to still get a lil activity in for the day.

    Take care and have a good one!!! :flowerforyou:

    The program I did yesterday took the incline up to 8, when I'm doing the precor, I set the incline anywhere between 5-10, with varying resistance anywhere from a 3-11. I like using the preset programs on the machines...Ohh..I :heart: the ellilptical...

    Great work on the eating and workout!!! :drinker:

    There's a treadmill at sears that goes up to 40% incline - you might as well put on your mountain clilmbing gear on that one!

    Mornin,

    Lost another lb and now back where I started 255lb and aiming for 245lb. Whatever.
    :ohwell:

    I got on the treadmill finallya nd walked a mile, short on time.

    I must have gotten a really good workout yesterday, last night my triceps were twitching and jumping.
    I have been hitting them at different angles and it is paying off by increasing my bench press and toning at the same time.:bigsmile:

    Good job everyone.
    :flowerforyou:

    Later.

    Have a great Thursday!

    I actually had a similar incident yesterday. I usually weigh myself on Tuesday morning. No specific reason why, that was just the first time I weighed myself in a long time so I stuck with it. It actually works for me because I usually have crappy weekends and it gives me Monday to bounce back. But anyway, for some reason I decided to weigh myself at about 9 o'clock last night and was shocked that I gained 2 lbs in one day!!! So I proceded to do some toning exercises, crunches, etc. (I didn't want to do cardio so close to bed time.) I felt bad about myself *ho hum* and went to bed in low spirits. This morning I woke up thinking "people always say not to weigh yourself at night, so maybe I'll try again". I got on the scale, and MUCH to my surprise (and delight!) I was actually DOWN a lb from my weigh-in on Tuesday!!! I'm thinking that when I weighed myself on Tuesday I was just at the threshold before going down another pound. Needless to say I felt much better about meself in the after moments of that!!

    I hope everyone is having a WONDERFUL Thursday and are keeping on track!! I KNOW you all have it in you!!! :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

    Sigh...:yawn: I'm feeling exhausted by it all. I've not lost any weight or inches. :grumble:

    I will keep doing it, I have faith it will happen but truly just exhausted by it all right now.

    We have a fundraiser this Saturday, a Crab Feed! At least crab is low cal and I don't buy into their "here have some antipasta, here have some salad, here have some pasta, here have some bread". Nope I hold out for the reason I came, crab baby! :drinker:

    Anyway, just plugging along gutters, it's great to hear all the success and struggles, it's all part of the journey, I know! :ohwell:

    I did a search but couldn't find it....perhaps because I didn't put the 0 in front of the 1 :bigsmile: :ohwell:

    OK........so I've been really busy today.........but thought I should check in :flowerforyou: I stayed in my calorie limits.......I did 300 crunches while watching a movie, 50 pushups, lifted my dumbbells (bicep curls, and over the head for ummmm........uh oh.....blank mind........triceps handface.gif......duh embarrassed.gif) drank my water, and went to bed.

    Tonight its an hour of TaeBo, a 2 mile walk, and I have 700 calories left for dinner :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :smokin: :laugh:
