any Virgo ppl out there....

Count me in. My bday is in sept as well (Virgo). I would like to lose 5 lbs this month and another 5lbs next month. I want to be out of 150's and 140's if possible. My goal is 1-2lbs a week. I also signed up for a 5K (on 9/25). So, all the prep will hopefully get me to my goal.
Cheers to all Virgo ppl!. I know we are perfectionist and hard-working.
Let us do it!

Great job creating doable goals for your Birthday!!!!

Rabbit, thanks for asking about me. Not allowed to "exercise" yet. Chiropractor says I have to hold off. I am still watching what I eat and trying to ATLEAST get some walking in but for right now I'm not able to do much of anything. I am SO ready to get healed and get back to business. I'm used to working out daily for atleast 90 mins a day. I am missing my workouts so badly. Not giving up though. Don't give up on me my fellow Virgo's. Just a minor set back.

teehee laughing at myself,,as I just learned how ppl were attaching to the post topics by using the "quote" button,,,I am

more than a little embarrassed! LOL okay now about this post,

you're very welcome! I am always thinking of you and praying for your quick and full recovery! get well soon!

I would send you a bunch of daisies but the emoticon isn't working right now ):

Thanks!!! On a good note, Chiro says I am allowed to walk. That's it though. So I walked 2 miles today. Took it slow so ended up being @ an 45 mins to and hour but atleast I did it!! You're the best! Thanks for the love and support!!:flowerforyou:

you're very welcome! you're doing fine considering your challenging circumstances right now. please be careful

Hello Virgo Challengers! Weekend Thoughts...

Happy Friday to all & I want to wish you a nice enjoyable weekend.

Let's all take our fitness very seriously this weekend as we have a weigh-in

coming up on Monday morning. I have been doing my weigh-in after ladies room

and before eating / drinking, in the morning, wearing just my swimsuit. I think this

attempt to get the most accurate weight is actually rather fun and ritualistic.

I was weighing once a week but have gone now to bi-weekly. Since I have been zigzagging

calories I hope to have broken thru that last plateau, altho this week has proved to be

somewhat detrimental (in the eating dept) due to family gatherings at eateries LOL

Well, it's all okay and feeling fine about it now that I have come to terms with my

cravings, realizing it helps my body adjust to give it treats here and there!!!

I have been indulging in 100 calorie ice cream bars all week!! I am not going to bring

any more of those into the house...promise myself! I will keep making banana yogurt ice cubes

.. oh and probably enjoy a frozen fruit bar now & then as well

QUESTIONS:

1) What do you do on weekends to burn extra calories if you indulge in too many treats?

2) Can you share at least one idea with the rest of the group that you have about getting

"into the zone", when you really don't feel like exercising at all?

Thanks to everyone for participating in this~ our first full week of The Virgo Challenge!!!

Go out there and get that brass ring of health 8-) and have a blast doin'it!!!

August 26th! So only 2 weeks away....My goal is 10 pounds.

excellent goal elizabeth, very attainable for you!

you have a very nice ticker btw )

1 - i really like walking around my neighborhood, it's about 2.2 miles with some nice hills and burns around 350 calories i do it early in the mornings during the week, but it's nice to walk after dinner on weekend's too.

2 - whenever i feel like i'm getting off track with my eating or exercise, and i need an extra push....i get on netflix and i order one of those documentaries about food and nutrition and exercise, or anything about being healthy. it might sound weird, but for me, it really works. plus, i know SO much more now about food and exercise that i was clueless about before!

have a good weekend Virgos!!

Craft~

You have done it again! I am going to do my own neighborhood walk thanks to you. Today I will drive the route

to get the mileage (for my own info purposes), then I will take 2 of my regular exercise mornings this coming

week to do the route, which sounds exactly like your neighborhood!! There are lots of beautiful gardens with rolling hills and

even a huge one that is probably at least a 30 degree angle and quite tall. I have always wanted to take it on LOL!!!

Next, I will go home and order some of the suggestions you made, from Netflix!!! Thank you very much indeed~

All the best~

No loss this week but NO GAIN either!!!:bigsmile: So I am counting that as a victory. This weekend wasn't as easy as I'd hoped it would've been. Was hurting in my back pretty constantly all weekend although I did manage to get a little exercise in even if it was just me cleaning (btw, mopping the kitchen will not be done by me again until I heal some more.) Today is a new day and a new week. I will continue to strive and work as hard as I possibly can. I am thinking that I might need to change my goal more to like 5lbs though considering. What do you think Rabbit?? Going back to the chiro this afternoon. Hoping he can give me a little more relief and some good news. Love to all and GOOD LUCK on meeting your goals! You CAN do ANYTHING you put your mind too!!!! Love ya my fellow VIrgos!

Thank you for asking and yes, I would most likely change my goal were I in your athletic shoes! LOL

Shoot for lucky #7!!!

I hope the chiro (heat treatments)?? is working for you. you deserve to be healed & feel better today.

Mopping the kitchen?

HhhhMmmm....what on earth were ya thinkin'???

stop that right now silly goose take care this week!!

and again, thanks for contributing:flowerforyou:
