    Hi All - crazy busy week! Sorry I haven't been posting as much as usual. Plus, my laptop is temporarilly out of commission, so I only have our old slowpoke computer in the back of the house.

    I've been good at getting at least 30 minutes of exercise in (power-walk or Jillian Michael's shred DVD) - but I need to get some longer more intense workouts in there too.

    Planning to take the kids for a bike ride today. Also, lots of cleaning & housework to be done, so my "base" burn should be a bit higher today.

    Ok, I've got to catch up on reading the posts from yesterday... back soon! Amy :)

    Back with a vengeance today... went for a swim because it's getting near the end of season for our pool and the water was still at 80 degrees so we thought we'd take advantage for a bit. It was a little chilly but once you were in it wasn't bad!

    Also did another yoga workout. It was great! I love Yoga Meltdown!

    After that, I had picked crunches for my 50 so I did 50 crunches and then just because I love to be an over achiever, I did 20 reverse crunches as well. :)

    Hi All!

    For my xtra 50 today I did 50 crunches, 50 leg raises per leg & 50 bridges.

    So I had some notes from the other day - some of these comments may go back to Monday!

    Brittany - love your answers to this week's questions! I've go to watch the diet soda myself - I'll go weeks without any, then I'll have a few - I know it's all chemicals, I should avoid it!

    Renee - Love how you are sticking with the C25K program & making it work for you - I think I may try your approach!

    Kelly - Love your september goal - you can do it!

    Melissa - sounds like you are not letting those shins stand in your way! Great way to modify your workouts for your body's benefit! Great work on your xtra 50 (+20) today!!

    Pam - great way sticking to your tracking & workouts!

    Robin - I have got to try that skinnytastel.com for some recipes!

    jen - glad you are back & sticking with it!

    Karen - wow you are racking up the miles jogging!! Love your new profile pic!

    Ashley - hope you keep feeling more like yourself each day!

    Vanessa - I think maintaining motivation is a huge challenge for us all - we will all face it at some point, and with you being at the year mark, you are in the thick of it! One thing I do is looking online at some of the clothing I'd like to buy when I'm at goal weight. I love that vintage look, but my current body would not compliment that style of clothing. I love looking at an outfit & it helps motivate me to get to the point where I can wear it!

    Ok, off to finish my book & get some rest!

    Hugs,

    Amy

    I have soooo many scrapbooking supplies, but I have replaced that time with exercise. I have to go back to it and use my stuff!
    I understand your feelings!

    My husband calls me an all or nothing gal. So when I dedicate myself to something, I give ALL of everything I have, which is why my Pampered Chef business is suffering and why I haven't scrapbooked. Because I have a goal in my head and I will give 100% until I reach it. So he fully expected to not see the scrapbook supplies come out until I hit 150 pounds. But I still went on my little retreat/vacation and that surprised him! lol

    This is me too..I am not good at balancing things..lol

    Hey All.
    I have seriously been slacking with the exercise. I've been super busy with working extra because I am broke. I don't think this week is going to be great for me. I have been eating within my calories and staying away from sweets so I am happy about that. But I think it is going to be my TOM and I have been having tons of stress and emotional ups and downs the last couple of days- so we all know how that works its magic on our metabolism. I am going to get in a good workout today and hopefully in the AM as well. I am super unmotivated today which is a good thing when it comes to not wanting to cook so instead I eat raw fruits and veggies- so i guess that is helpful at least! Anyway looking forward to a good weekend and hopefully successful weigh in.
