Labor Day Challenge 2011
Replies

We're over halfway there for this challenge. I'm getting stronger each day with my workouts (zumba, zumba toning and JM dvds here and there). Also I am jogging 3 minutes straight (which I never thought I could do) at 5.5 pace. This week my goal is to jog 5 minutes straight. Today was my first day of 8 weeks of therapy for my sciatica which I hope will stop this aching pain!!!

Happy with my results this past week! Since we're about halfway, if I can lose another 5 lbs I would be very happy (although I wouldn't be meeting my original goal, I set it high on purpose).0 -

Darnit ... nowhere even close to the 165 by Maddie's wedding... which is TOMORROW! The wedding is on a boat/yacht in the Harbor. Nothing in my closet that isn't "vintage" or "too tight", so I went to Macy's & let their fitting people do their thing. Finally settled on black capri pants, a scoop-neck top with a band of glitters on the neck, a bracelet & flat grey pumps. And, most of the stuff was on sale today! So, at least I have an outfit that looks modern, & I don't feel like a blimp in! Woo Hoo! Still cannot get my hair stylist, so my hair is going to be a bit too long, but... oh well, at least I have ONE outfit that I can look nice in right now!0

Yay for a wonderful weigh-in this week! I can't believe I'm in the 130's again. Well, 10 lbs in 2 weeks is probably not going to happen at this point, but my new goal is 133-135 for final weigh-in on this challenge.0 -
