SIXERS Swimming to Success--Week 2

Bump for weigh-in tomorrow. Not feeling optimistic, but I'll kick my own butt today and see if I can at least lose a little water weight if nothing else.

WOW!!! So I must have kicked it in the butt this week (perhaps i need to rethink my goal??) I think its due in large part to the fact that I'm finally to the longer runs of C25K!! So pumped!!! My lowest I have ever gotten to on MFP is 144 so I'm almost back there!! yipee!!!

Good luck today ladies!! Way to maintain Cathy!!! I would take that any day!!

Well...I am up a pound this week and actually surprised it's not more. I did HORRIBLE the past few days. Did get in a run last night, but have been eating like there's no tomorrow! UGH! And I feel incredibly bloated and crampy and blah! Have been dealing with bad headaches the past few days also...probably due to the increased sugar! Blah...

BUT...new week is starting RIGHT NOW! Goal this week...a little exercise every day!

Plan today:
Food--
B-Banana Nut Cheerios, skim milk, coffee w/sugarfree creamer
S-Banana
L-Mixed green salad, baby tomatos, cucumber, spritzer dressing, light yogurt
S-Apple
D-Pork roast, red potatos, carrots
S-FF frozen yogurt (peach) with cool whip free

Exercise--
JM Ripped in 30-Level 1
Maybe a run

Have a fabulous day ladies!

:grumble: Ahhh. My scale is broken. Probably b/c we weighed in out dogs last night (the one we adopted needs to gain, he was quite skinny when we got him... the other, well he could probably drop a pound or two... hahaha) My BF has to hold them and then we subtract his weight... it may have been too much for my scale... :ohwell:

today I am going to have to try and fix it or buy a new one.... I will weigh-in as soon as I get it... hopefully by then I will be back in the 160's.

Nice loss Amy!!!!!! :drinker:

Cathy and Kristin lets kick some butt!!!!!!!!!!

OK - so I'm up a little this week, but TOM just came. I'm hoping that's it because I was down about that same amount last Thursday. I wasn't awesome this weekend, but I did try to be some what cautious. I'm going to reweigh tomorrow to see if it's water weight.

I finally go to the Dr. tomorrow to see what might be going on with my foot. Of course after I finally got an appointment it stared to not bother me as much, but it is still really sore after I try and do a workout, even if it's not too intense like walking. Hopefully they tell me it's nothing more than a strain and to just keep up as normal. Will let everyone know what they say tomorrow.

CONGRATS Amy on the nice loss. To everyone who maintained or gained a little, we just have to get back on track for next week. We can do this and kick some butt!

I'm here, I'm here! I posted my big news and then disappeared for a week and a half! I'm shady like that I guess... :glasses:

So I saw that Lauren is preggers too!! Yay for babies! :happy: Hopefully she comes on soon and sees this - her due date is 2 days after mine so exciting times!

Happy Birthday Cathy - Sorry it's late! I saw the post between you and... shoot now I forgot, but I thought it was hilarious. It was on last weeks thread so if I try to navigate back I'll lose my post.

So - everything has been going great, just very very busy. So so hot, too hot the last few weeks for exercising and I caught a yucky cold so I took a break. I am back in it this week, starting off with a 2 mile walk yesterday. It took me 42 minutes, so I definitely wasn't in any sort of a hurry. I really don't have too much of a strict goal on myself for pregnancy weight gain - I'd like to keep it around 35 pounds, but of course I won't be starving myself or hurting the baby to achieve that. Translation, Taco Bell and candy bars are my closest dear friends. I would like to exercise every day, just because with Drew I let myself get so out of shape that going up stairs was a struggle.

I will try to be better and posting and being social!! :drinker:

Okay, so not exactly what I was expecting, but TOM right around the corner, so hopefully that's the reason. That or the overeating I have been doing. Who knew that even if you are eating healthy, you can STILL overeat. Ooops. Better week starting NOW!

so far I have done 20 minutes (core workout setting) on the elliptical, W1 of Jm 6W6P... and I ran around the yard with the pups for 40 minutes... BF and I are also going to take them for a nice long walk... nothing too intense... but a good 40/60 minutes to tire them out. have a good night ladies.

TOM raging horribly with massive cramps, bloating, and headache, with no end in sight (as there has not been a beginning). I am getting frustrated. And hungry. Glad I already did my weigh-in. Might explain why the loss wasn't exactly what I was hoping for. Got in a great workout last night though. It's funny how the more you weigh the more calories you burn. Finally, an advantage to these extra 10 lb. Going to do Zumba this morning, then try something called Shabang tonight hopefully followed by Body Attack. Of course, that all depends on my body and what it feels like doing FOR me, rather than AGAINST me.

Cathy - hope you are feeling better.

Everyone seems to have done pretty well with the first week. Let's make this weekend a HUGE success :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: so that our next weigh-in is amazing. Maybe at the end of the challenge we should post how many pounds we all lost collectively?

Alrighty, back to work for me. Have a great day and weekend (if I don't get back on before then).
